Dear Shareholder
Notice to Eligible Shareholders of Non-Renounceable Pro-Rata Entitlements Issue of New Options
We write to you as the registered holder of fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) in Auroch Minerals Ltd (ASX: AOU) ( Company ) as at today’s date.
As advised in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 20 June 2018, and as detailed in the prospectus lodged by the Company with ASIC and ASX on the same date, the Company is undertaking a non-renounceable, pro-rata offer of options, each exercisable at $0.10 on or before 30 November 2021 ( New Options ), at an issue price of $0.02 per New Option to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of one (1) New Option for every three Shares held at the record date ( Offer ).
The record date to determine entitlements for Eligible Shareholders is 26 June 2018 ( Record Date ).
Where the determination of the entitlement of any Eligible Shareholder results in a fraction of a Share, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole New Option.
A prospectus in relation to the Offer was lodged with ASIC and ASX on 20 June 2018 ( Prospectus ) and is available on the Company’s ASX platform at the ASX website (www.asx.com.au). A copy of the Prospectus, together with an entitlement and acceptance form will be sent to Eligible Shareholders on 29 June 2018.
The Offer is fully underwritten by Clarion Finance Pte Ltd. An underwriting fee of 2.5% is to be paid on the underwriting commitment (calculated by multiplying the maximum number of New Options to be issued under the Offer by the issue price of $0.02 per New Option). The Underwriter has agreed to subscribe for, or procure subscriptions for, all New Options offered under the Offer which are not taken by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to their entitlement.
The Company currently has 98,753,540 Shares, 28,987,493 options, 12,000,000 performance shares and 6,250,000 performance rights on issue (refer to section 4.1 of the Prospectus for further details about the Company's securities on issue). Assuming that no options are exercised and no performance shares or performance rights convert into Shares prior to the Record Date, the Offer is for up to up to 32,917,601 New Options. The Offer will raise up to $658,352 (before payment of the costs associated with the Offer).
The funds raised under the Offer will be used to supplement the Company's existing cash reserves and will be primarily used to fund further work on the Arden and Bonaventura projects, including completion of aeromagnetic, geomagnetic and IP surveys and further drilling, and will otherwise be used for general working capital purposes.
Eligible Shareholders are those persons who:
