CORPORATE ACTIVITIES:
On 15th July 2016 Coalbank Limited ( ASX: CBQ ) announced that it had entered into an Agreement to subscribe for shares representing a 25% shareholding in Utilitas Pty Ltd (Utilitas) for $1 million. The transaction will be settled upon completion of legal due diligence to the satisfaction of Coalbank.
Utilitas is a privately owned company focussed on the emerging biogas industry in Australasia and represents a unique opportunity for Coalbank as it provides an additional investment in the energy and resources sector to diversify its existing portfolio.
The Federal Government’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) puts the investment opportunity in this sector to be between $3.5 billion to $5 billion by 2020[1] . With only 0.9 per cent of Australia’s electricity output currently being deployed from this sector compared to that of 2.4 percent average by OECD countries, the opportunity exists for Utilitas to further develop this market.
Australia’s bioenergy and energy from waste market is currently under-developed but has considerable potential, which makes the investment very attractive to Coalbank.
During the quarter the Company received $1,220,000 as an unsecured loan from Treasure Wheel Global Limited (Treasure Wheel), a company associated with Mr Anthony Chan, Chairman of Coalbank. It is anticipated that the unsecured loan will, subject to shareholder approval, be replaced with a Convertible Note.
Yours faithfully,
Anthony Chan – Chairman
