Mount Gibson Iron Limited ( Mount Gibson ) attaches an announcement made today on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong in relation to 2 agreements entered into by Fushan International Energy Group Limited ( Fushan ), Shougang Concord International Enterprises Company Limited ( Shougang Concord ), Shougang Holding (Hong Kong) Limited ( Shougang Holding ) and various subsidiaries of those companies.

Agreements

  • Under the Second Agreement, Fushan has agreed to purchase from Shougang Holding all of its shares in APAC Resources Limited ( APAC ) in return for the issue of shares in Fushan valued at HK$606,104,000. APAC currently holds 26.03% of the issued capital of Mount Gibson.

Both agreements are subject to several conditions, including the approval of the Treasurer under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) and approval of Fushan shareholders, if required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Following completion, Fushan will have an interest in 14.34% of the issued share capital of Mount Gibson and 16.80% of the issued share capital of APAC.

REASONS FOR THE TRANSACTION

The Company aims to develop itself into an international diversified resources supplier. Currently, the Company is principally engaged in mining, production and sales of coking coal. The Board believes that the transactions under the First Agreement and the Second Agreement are in the interest of the Shareholders as they serve to diversify the product portfolio, and will expand the Company’s geographic foothold outside of the PRC. The transactions under the First Agreement and the Second Agreement could further contribute to the development of the Company’s corporate strategy to enhance its existing resources exploitation and exploration business by having coal, iron and other metal assets within the Company. The two investments also allow the Company to take advantage of the positive prospects of the iron ore sector, including the increasing demand from countries including the PRC.

The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will express their view after receiving advice from the independent financial adviser) consider that the terms and conditions of the First Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable as far as the Shareholders as a whole are concerned and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Second Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable as far as the Shareholders as a whole are concerned and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors consider (i) the issue of First Consideration Shares as the consideration for the acquisition under the First Agreement; and (ii) the issue of the Second Consideration Shares as the consideration for the acquisition under the Second Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Shareholders as a whole as less funds from its existing cash resources will be used by the Company for the acquisitions under the First Agreement and the Second Agreement.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As Shougang International and its associates hold an aggregate of approximately 20.02% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement, Shougang International is therefore a Substantial Shareholder and hence a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the First Agreement constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. As each of the applicable percentage ratios (as set out in the Listing Rules) exceeds 2.5%, the First Agreement is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

The transaction under the First Agreement also constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules, since the applicable percentage ratios (as set out in the Listing Rules) are more than 5% but less than 25%.

The transaction under the Second Agreement constitutes a share transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules, since the applicable percentage ratios (as set out in the Listing Rules) are less than 5%.

The Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Kee Wah Sze, Mr. Choi Wai Yin and Mr. Chan Pat Lam has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on transactions under the First Agreement and the issue of First Consideration Shares. The Company will appoint an independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the First Agreement and the issue of the First Consideration Shares in accordance with the Listing Rules.

10

A circular containing, among other things, particulars of the First Agreement, the recommendations of the Independent Board Committee, a letter of advice from the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders and the notice convening the EGM will be sent to the Shareholders as soon as possible in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

As completion of the First Agreement and the Second Agreement is subject to the fulfillment of a number of conditions precedent, the transactions thereunder may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
