QUANTUM RESOURCES LIMITED

(ASX : QUR )

21 August 2015

Pro-Rata Non-Renounceable Rights Issue

  • 1-for-1 pro-rata non-renounceable rights issue at an issue price of $0.001 per share to raise up to $936,908.70

  • Non-underwritten, with shortfall facility to enable applications for additional shares

  • Funds raised to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, to meet general working capital requirements, and to enable the Company to implement and execute its business objectives

Overview of the Offer

Quantum Resources Limited ( Quantum or the Company ) is pleased to announce a pro-rata nonrenounceable rights issue ( Offer ) to eligible shareholders, on the basis of 1 new share for every 1 Quantum share held as at 7:00pm (AEDT) on Thursday 27 August 2015 ( Record Date ).

Pursuant to the Offer, the Company will issue up to 936,908,700 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.001 each, to raise up to $936,908.70 (before costs). The entitlement to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer will be non-renounceable.

Eligibility to participate

The Offer will be made to all registered holders of ordinary shares in the Company with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at the Record Date ( Eligible Shareholders ).

The Company has determined that it would be unreasonable to extend the Offer to shareholders with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand ( Ineligible Shareholders ) having regard to:

  • the small number of shareholders with addresses in such other countries;

  • the number and value of the shares they hold; and

  • the cost to the Company of complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in such other countries.

Dispersion strategies

The Offer will not be underwritten; however there will be a shortfall facility which will enable Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for shares in addition to their entitlement. In the event that following the close of the Offer, a shortfall remains after additional shares are issued under the shortfall facility, the Directors reserve the right to place such shortfall shares at their discretion with persons interested in subscribing for shares in the Company within 3 months of the close of the Offer.
