The Company announces a 7 day extension to the closing date of its Entitlement Offer to 5:00pm on Tuesday 3 October 2023.
The Company has extended the closing date due to delays in the mail, given several eligible shareholders have only received their application forms in recent days.

The Company hereby advises that the indicative timetable set out in the Entitlement Issue offer is replaced with the timetable set out below.

Commitments exceeding $200,000 received
The Company is pleased to advise that its largest Shareholder group, representing the holdings of Chairman Mr Geoff Albers and his associates ( Albers Shareholders ), has committed to take up Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, amounting to an investment of at least $200,000.
JMEI Credits
As announced on dated 5 September 2023, the Company has been granted Junior Mineral Exploration Incentive ( JMEI ) credits for distribution to Australian resident shareholders who acquire new Peako shares (“Eligible Investors”) after 1 July 2023 and prior to 30 June 2024.
Australian resident shareholders that participate in the Entitlement Offer can expect to receive JMEI credits of up to 20% of the amount subscribed which they can offset directly against tax payable or receive a tax refund in the event that no tax is payable.
By way of illustration, assuming the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed and raises up to approximately $1.098 million (before costs), shareholders participating in the Entitlement Offer may receive JMEI credits of up to $0.0014 (0.14 cents) per New Share. An Australian resident taxpayer subscribing for $10,000 in New Shares would, in this example, receive JMEI credits of $1,400 which would reduce their income tax payable by $1,400 (or, if no income tax was otherwise payable, result in a refund being issued by the ATO for $1,400).
The illustrative JMEI credit of $0.0014 (0.14 cents) per New Share is calculated as shown below:
| New Shares Issued via Entitlement Offer (assuming full subscription) | 156,910,487 |
|---|---|
| Estimated greenfields expenditure for 2023/24•assuming full subscription | $850,000 |
| •including expenditure already incurred since 1 July 2023 | |
| •excluding expenditure funded via additional future equity raising | |
| JMEI Credits (Greenfield expenditure x 25%) | $212,500 |
| JMEI Credit per New Share ($212,500 / 156,910,487) | $0.0014 |
Should additional equity be raised, other than via the number of shares represented by the current Entitlement Offer, then the JMEI credit per share calculation can be expected to differ including as follows:
-
Total JMEI credit available for distribution will increase where additional greenfield exploration expenditure is incurred (up to a maximum allocation of $1,125,000)
-
The total number of shares issued in the period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 will increase where new shares are issued in addition to those under the Entitlement Offer
-
The resulting JMEI credit/new share would change to reflect the total JMEI credit divided by the total number of shares issued between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024
Shareholders are encouraged to seek independent tax advice specific to their personal circumstances before participating in the Entitlement Offer.
This announcement is approved by the Board of Peako Limited
