Magontec Limited (Company) – Partially Underwritten Renounceable Rights Issue

Magontec Limited is pleased to announce a pro-rata renounceable rights issue to raise up to $11,805,769.

Of the total amount to be raised, $8,837,849 (or approximately 75%) is underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited (“Patersons”), who is the Lead Manager to the rights issue. The net proceeds of the offer will be used by the Company primarily to invest in a new magnesium alloy cast house in Qinghai Province, PRC. Proceeds of the rights issue will also be applied to debt reduction.

Key Terms of the Offer

  • A partially underwritten renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer to eligible shareholders of five new shares for every nine shares held at the Record Date, at an offer price of 5.0 cents per new share.

  • Each shareholder who participates in the rights issue will also receive two free attaching options for every one new share subscribed for under the rights issue.

  • The option is exercisable by the option holder at 2 cents per share at any time in the period from the date of issue of the option to the anniversary of the date of issue.

  • Both the new shares and the attaching options will be listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

  • Under the rights issue, up to 236,115,374 new shares and 472,230,748 attaching options will be offered.

  • The rights issue is partially underwritten to the amount of $8,837,849 by Patersons.

  • The Company will have the right to place any amounts not subscribed for under the offer, within a three-month period of the completion of the Offer, on terms consistent with the Offer.

  • If fully subscribed, the offers will raise $11,805,769 before offer costs.

The Company’s two largest shareholders, Qinghai Salt Lake Magnesium Company Limited and Allan Gray Australia are providing support to the issue to the extent of $6,255,000 and $2,385,000 respectively. Additionally the Executive Chairman of Magontec Limited has also committed to take up his entitlement.

The new shares issued under the rights issue will rank equally with existing ordinary shares on issue.
