It is the third Supplementary Bidder's Statement issued by MetroCoal Limited ACN 117 763 443 (MetroCoal or Bidder), in relation to its off-market takeover offers (Offer) for all of the fully paid ordinary shares in Cape Alumina Limited ACN 107 817 694 (Cape or Target).
Under the MetroCoal Offer. Cape Shareholders are being offered 1 MetroCoal share for every 1.3 Cape Shares held.
This document supplements, and should be read together with, the Bidder's Statement lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on 19 August 2014 (Bidder's Statement), as supplemented by MetroCoal's first supplementary bidder's statement dated 27 August 2014 (First Supplementary Bidder's Statement) and second supplementary bidder's statement dated 30 September 2014.
This is an important document and requires your immediate attention. If you are in any doubt as to how to deal with this document you should consult your financial or legal adviser as soon as possible.
Capitalised terms which are not defined in this Supplementary Bidder's Statement have the meaning given to those terms in the Bidder's Statement and the definitions and interpretation set out in Section 14 of the Bidder's Statement also applies to this document, unless the context otherwise requires.
$2.$ Variation of Loan Agreement with Cape Alumina Limited
On 27 August 2014 MetroCoal and Cape entered into an agreement for a loan of funds from MetroCoal to Cape (Loan Agreement). The material terms of the Loan Agreement are set out in Section 2 of the First Supplementary Bidder's Statement.
On 27 October 2014, MetroCoal and Cape entered into a letter of variation to increase the amount of the loan from MetroCoal to Cape under the Loan Agreement from \$250,000 to \$500,000 (an increase of \$250,000).
The material terms of the Loan Agreement are unchanged apart from the increase in the size of the loan from MetroCoal to Cape.
