SECTION 1: DETAILS OF THE OFFER
1. Offer
Korab Resources Limited offers each of its Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for New Shares under a prorata non-renounceable rights issue.
Each Eligible Shareholder is entitled to subscribe for one (1) New Shares for every six (6) Shares held by that Eligible Shareholder as at the Record Date at an issue price of A$0.019 per New Share.
The issue price of the New Shares represents a discount of approximately 15% to the volume weighted average price of Shares on the 5 days on which Shares traded up to and including 6 April 2017 (being the trading day prior to announcement of the Offer) of $A0.022 per Share.
If an Eligible Shareholder becomes entitled to a fraction of a Share, the entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The New Shares will be fully paid and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue. The Company has applied to ASX for quotation of the New Shares.
2. What is my entitlement?
The number of New Shares to which you are entitled is shown in the accompanying Application Form ( Entitlement ). You can subscribe for all, or part, of your Entitlement to New Shares. Detailed instructions on how to accept all or part of your Entitlement are set out in Section 3.
Please note that if you choose not to accept your Entitlement under the Offer your shareholding in the Company will be diluted to the extent that the Offer is taken up by other Shareholders and underwritten by the Underwriter.
3. Shortfall Shares
In addition to being able to apply for New Shares in the manner described in paragraph 2 above, Shareholders who subscribe for their full Entitlement will also have the opportunity to apply for additional New Shares that are not subscribed for under the Offer ( Shortfall Shares ), subject to the limitations set out in Section 4.
4. Opening and closing dates
The Offer opens for receipt of acceptances on 19 April 2017. The closing date and time for acceptances and payments is 5.00pm AWST on 1 May 2017 , subject to the Directors varying the closing date in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Underwriting Agreement.
5. Who is entitled to participate in the Offer?
Each Shareholder with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand who is registered as the holder of Shares at 5.00pm AWST on 12 April 2017 is entitled to participate in the Offer in respect of the number of Shares that person is then registered as the holder of.
Existing option holders may only participate in the Offer in respect of Shares to be issued on exercise of the options held by them if they exercise their options and are registered as the holder of the underlying Shares before the Record Date.
6. Offer not made to Excluded Shareholders
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to shareholders who have a registered address in a country outside of Australia or New Zealand having regard to the number of shareholders in such places, the number and value of the New Shares they would be offered and the substantial costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions. The number of Shares held by shareholders who have a registered address in countries outside of Australia and New Zealand as at close of trading on 6 April 2017 (the last practicable trading day prior to announcement of the Offer) was 6,359,422 Shares. This Offer Memorandum and accompanying Application Form does not constitute an offer for securities:
5 | P a g e
-
(a) to Excluded Shareholders, and the Offer Memorandum will not be sent to Excluded Shareholders; or
-
(b) in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.
Eligible Shareholders holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident outside of Australia or New Zealand are responsible for ensuring that subscribing for the New Shares under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Application Form will constitute a representation that there has been no breach of such regulations. Where the Offer Memorandum is received by persons domiciled in a country outside Australia or New Zealand and where that country’s securities code or legislation prohibits or restricts in any way the making of the Offer, the Offer Memorandum and accompanying Application Form are provided for information purposes only.
7. Appointment of a nominee under section 615 of the Corporations Act
Korab intends to appoint a nominee, on normal commercial terms, as nominee for the sale of the entitlements that Excluded Shareholders would have been offered under the Offer had they been eligible to participate ( Excluded Shareholder Entitlements ). The appointment of a nominee will be made in accordance with section 615 of the Corporations Act and, as such, Eligible Shareholders and the Underwriter (and any applicable sub-underwriter) will be able to rely on the exception for rights issues in item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act. The nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing, price, and manner of sale of the Excluded Shareholder Entitlements. The net proceeds above the issue price (in Australian dollars), if any, of the sale (in Australian dollars) of the Excluded Shareholder Entitlements will be distributed to Excluded Shareholders pro rata in proportion to their respective shareholdings as at Record Date (after deducting the costs of sale and the costs of distributing the proceeds). There is no guarantee that the nominee will be able to sell the Excluded Shareholder Entitlements and Excluded Shareholders may receive no value for their Excluded Shareholder Entitlements. Neither the Company nor the nominee will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the Excluded Shareholder Entitlements or to sell them at a particular price.
8. Effect on share capital
The effect of the Offer on the capital structure of the Company will be as follows:
| Shares | Number |
| Number on issue at 6 April 2017 (the last practicable trading day prior to announcement of the Offer) |
225,791,451 |
| Maximum number to be issued under the Offer | 37,632,267 |
| Maximum number on issue following the Offer | 263,423,718 |
The figures in the table above are approximate as individual Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole figure.
On 21 March 2017 the Company has called a General Meeting of Korab shareholders to be held on 28 April 2017 to approve (among others) a resolution to convert loans totalling $471,000 to Shares at an issue price of 1.9 cents each. If this resolution is approved, this will result in Korab issuing 24,789,474 Shares pursuant to this conversion of loans by no later than 3 May 2017.
There are 4,000,000 unlisted options to subscribe for Shares currently on issue. If any of these options are exercised prior to the Record Date this will also impact the maximum number of New Shares to be issued under the Offer and the maximum number of Shares on issue following the Offer.
9. Non-Renounceable Offer
The Offer is non-renounceable. This means that your right to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer is not transferable. Any Entitlements not taken up by Shareholders will be dealt with in accordance with Section 4 of this Offer Memorandum.
10. Underwriting
6 | P a g e
The Offer is partially underwritten by related party, Rheingold Investments Corporation Pty Ltd (an entity controlled by Executive Chairman, Mr Andrej Karpinski). By virtue of the Offer being partially underwritten, the Offer will raise approximately A$300,000 (before expenses of the Offer), subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
As at the date of this Offer Memorandum, the Underwriter’s Associates, hold 39,000,000 Shares, comprising approximately 17.27% of the Shares in the Company. The Underwriter’s Associates, will have an Entitlement to 6,500,000 New Shares under the Offer in their capacity as Eligible Shareholders under the Offer. If there is a Shortfall, then subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter is obliged to take up to 15,789,474 New Shares under the Offer.
As a result of underwriting, if the Underwriter and the Underwriter’s Associates took up their Entitlements in full, no other Eligible Shareholder took up their Entitlements and the Underwriter took up the full underwritten amount of New Shares, the number of shares held by the Underwriter and the Underwriter’s Associates would increase from 39,000,000 to 61,289,474 and the voting power of the Underwriter and the Underwriter’s Associates will increase from 17.27% to a maximum of 24.71%.
On 21 March 2017 the Company has called a General Meeting of Korab shareholders to be held on 28 April 2017 to approve (among others) a resolution to convert loans totalling $471,000 to Shares at an issue price of 1.9 cents each. If this resolution is approved, this will result in Korab issuing 24,789,474 Shares by no later than 3 May 2017. This will results in the percentage of the total issued share capital of Korab controlled by the Underwriter and its associates being 22.48% if no shareholder takes up their entitlements under the Rights Issue, the Underwriter and its associates (being Andrej Karpinski and Rheingold Investments Corporation Pty Ltd as trustee for the Rubicon Superannuation Fund) took up their entitlements in full, the Underwriter took up the full underwritten amount of new shares, and the resolution to convert loans totalling $471,000 to Shares at an issue price of 1.9 cents each was approved by shareholders at the General Meeting to be held on 28 April 2017.
Further details of the Underwriting Agreement are set out in Section 5.
11. Issue of New Shares
The Company expects that the New Shares will be issued by no later than 4 May 2017. The issue of New Shares will only be made after permission for their quotation on ASX has been granted.
Underwritten Shares will be issued in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and, in any event, no later than 15 Business Days after the Closing Date, so as to comply with the exception to Listing Rule 7.1 for shares issued under an underwriting agreement to an underwriter of a pro rata offer of shares.
12. Withdrawal of Offer
The Directors may, at any time before the New Shares are issued, decide to withdraw this Offer Memorandum and the offer of New Shares made under this Offer Memorandum in which case the Company will return all application monies, without interest, within 28 days of giving such notice of withdrawal.
SECTION 2: PURPOSE OF THE OFFER
Proceeds from the Offer will be applied to the costs of the Offer, the Company’s ongoing working capital requirements, consistent with the strategy disclosed to date and to reduce the Company’s debt (currently approximately $1.8 million). Korab’s strategy includes progressing Winchester magnesite deposit towards development as a direct shipping ore quarry, securing offtake, and sale agreements for Winchester magnesite quarry and exploration and evaluation of other Korab’s properties. The Directors reserve the discretion in respect of this. The exact allocation of amounts will depend on how much is raised under the Offer and how much is underwritten (as the Underwriter may offset subscription monies against the debt owed to it).
SECTION 3: HOW TO ACCEPT THE OFFER
1. How to take up all or part of your entitlement
7 | P a g e
To subscribe for New Shares offered to you, please complete the accompanying Application Form according to the instructions on the form for all, or that part of your Entitlement you wish to subscribe for.

However, Shortfall Shares will only be issued if the Offer is undersubscribed and will only be issued to the extent necessary to make up any shortfall in subscriptions and at the discretion of the Directors and subject to the Underwriting Agreement.
The Directors reserve the right to reject any application for Shortfall Shares or to allot a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than applied for.

5. Binding nature of applications
Cooling-off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot, except as permitted by law, withdraw your application for New Shares once it has been received. A completed and lodged Application Form constitutes a binding offer to acquire New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Offer Memorandum and, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn. If the Application Form is not completed correctly, it may still be treated as a valid application for New Shares. The Directors’ decision whether to treat an acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend, or complete the Application Form is final.

SECTION 4: SHORTFALL SHARES
Shortfall Shares will only be issued if the Offer is undersubscribed and will only be issued to the extent necessary to make up any shortfall in subscriptions.
The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall Shares to applicants at their absolute discretion, subject to the Underwriting Agreement.
If the Company receives applications for Shortfall Shares that would result in the Offer being oversubscribed then the Company will not accept such oversubscriptions and will reject or scale back applications at its discretion.
Any Shortfall Shares will, in accordance with the Listing Rules, be issued within 3 months after the Closing Date and will be issued at a price that is not less than the issue price of the New Shares under the Offer.
The Company will not issue Shortfall Shares where it is aware that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant legislation or law. Eligible Shareholders wishing to apply for Shortfall Shares must consider whether the issue of the Shortfall Shares applied for would breach the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules having regard to their own circumstances.
The Directors reserve the right, subject to the Underwriting Agreement, to reject any application for Shortfall Shares or to allot a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than applied for. Application monies received but not applied towards subscriptions for Shortfall Shares will be refunded as soon as practicable. No interest will be paid on application monies held and returned.
SECTION 5: UNDERWRITING
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement the Underwriter (an entity controlled by Executive Chairman Andrej Karpinski) has agreed to partially underwrite the Offer, up to $300,000.
Subject to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter may use the debt owed by the Company to the Underwriter (see Section 2) to offset the subscription monies for any part, or all of the, underwritten portion of the Offer. This will result in the Company being able to reduce the debt owed by it to the Underwriter by an equivalent amount instead of receiving cash.
Upon completion, the Underwriter will receive an underwriting fee of 1% of the funds raised under the underwritten portion of the Offer.
The Underwriter may appoint sub-underwriters on terms consistent with the Underwriting Agreement, and any fees payable to the sub-underwriters will be for the account of the Underwriter.
The Company has given warranties, covenants, and indemnities in favour of the Underwriter which are usual for agreements of this kind.
10 | P a g e
The Underwriter may terminate its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement at any time before the underwritten securities are issued and allotted if the Underwriter becomes aware of the happening of any one or more of the following events:
-
a) ( ASX approval ) approval is refused or not granted, other than subject to customary conditions, for the official quotation of all of the New Shares on ASX or if approval is granted, such approval is subsequently withdrawn, qualified or withheld before the issue of any New Shares; or
-
b) ( withdrawa l) the Company withdraws or terminates the Offer; or
-
c) ( repayment ) any circumstance arises after lodgement of the Offer Memorandum that results in the Company either repaying the money received from applicants or offering applicants an opportunity to withdraw their applications for New Shares and be repaid their application money; or
-
d) ( compliance with regulatory requirements ) a material contravention by the Company or any of its related bodies corporate of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, its constitution or any other applicable law or regulation;
-
e) ( Offer to comply ) any aspect of the Offer does not comply in a material way with the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other applicable law or regulation;
-
f) ( breach ) the Company breaches any of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement;
-
g) ( material contract breach ) any person commits a substantial breach of a material contract;
-
h) ( representations and warranties ) any representation or warranty contained in this agreement on the part of the Company is not true or correct;
-
i) ( prescribed occurrence ) an event specified in section 652C(1) or section 652C(2) of the Corporations Act, but replacing “target” with “Company”; or
-
j) ( timetable ) an event specified in the Timetable is delayed for more than 5 Business Days other than as the direct result of actions taken by the Underwriter (unless those actions were requested by the Company) or the actions of the Company (where those actions were taken with the Underwriter’s prior consent).
Shareholder approval will not be sought for the underwriting arrangements with the Underwriter.
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, the giving of a financial benefit to a related party requires shareholder approval unless an exception applies. The issue of Shortfall Shares and payment of the underwriting fee of 1% to the Underwriter constitute the giving of a financial benefit to a related party, as the Underwriter (Rheingold) is an entity controlled by Executive Chairman, Mr Andrej Karpinski. However, the Directors other than Mr Karpinski consider that the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies. That exception provides that shareholder approval is not required for the giving of a financial benefit on terms that:
-
a) Would be reasonable in the circumstances if the company and related party were dealing at arm’s length; or
-
b) Are less favourable to the related party than the terms referred to in (a) above.
Further, Shareholder approval will not be sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, as the issue of Shortfall Shares to the Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement will come within Exception 2 of Listing Rule 10.12 (which provides that shareholder approval is not required to issue securities to a related party where the entity receives the securities under an underwriting agreement in relation to a pro-rata issue and the terms of the underwriting were included in the offer documents sent to shareholders).
