Important: Due to COVID-19 restrictions in parts of Australia, there is uncertainty as to which Board members will be able to attend the Shareholder meeting in person. Any Board members unable to attend will of course join via video conference or similar. However, in the event any undirected or open votes are cast in favour of an individual Board member as proxy who is not able to be physically present at the meeting will not be taken into account in the voting results .
Given this uncertainty, the Company recommends that, shareholders wishing to appoint a proxy associated with the Company, should appoint the ‘Chairperson of the meeting’ as proxy and should direct the proxy how to vote for each resolution (‘for’ or ‘against’ each resolution)

Q6: Under what circumstances is Kogi able to settle the subscription amount in cash rather than issuing Kogi shares?
-
A6: Following receipt of the subscriber’s share issuance notice, Kogi may provide notice to the subscriber, electing to satisfy its obligation by way of a cash payment instead of issuing shares. The amount of the cash payment is the greater of the subscription amount or the market value of the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued.
-
Q7: Under what circumstances is the subscriber required to receive shares priced at $0.034 per share?
-
A7: If the subscriber elects to provide a share issuance notice to Kogi for part or all of subscription amount prior to 26 August 2021, then those shares can only be issued at the price of $0.034 per share.

Q8: At what price are the shares issued, if a share issuance notice is received from the subscriber on or after 26 August 2021?

A8: On or after 26 August 2021, the purchase prices per share is determined by the average of the five-daily volume-weighted average prices selected by the subscriber during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the subscriber’s share issuance notice (round down to four decimal places), less an 8% discount (or a 10% discount if the placement shares are issued after 26 April 2022). The resulting price per share is rounded down to the next one tenth of a cent, or if the share price exceeds $0.10, the next half a cent.
-
Q9: How are the initial 9.8 million shares dealt with? A9: These shares are to be issued following shareholder approval of resolutions 3 to 6 inclusive. The subscriber may elect to have these initial shares counted towards the ultimate number of placement shares received in relation to the first, second or third placements. In these cases, the price for the 9.8 million shares will be determined per Answer 8 above.

-
Q11: Is Kogi obligated to proceed with the second or third placements? A11: Kogi is not obligated to proceed with these placements. The second placement is completely at the option of Kogi.

About Kogi Iron (ASX: KFE)
