‐ Non renounceable pro rata entitlement offer
As announced on 28 May 2012, Predictive Discovery Limited ( Company ) is undertaking a pro rata non‐renounceable entitlements issue to raise up to $2,008,886 before the costs of the issue ( Entitlement Offer ). The Company has today lodged a prospectus with ASIC and ASX setting out further details of the Entitlement Offer.
Funds raised from the Entitlement Offer will be used primarily to fund the Company’s exploration of its gold project portfolio in Burkina Faso, capital raising costs, and for general working capital purposes.
Overview of Entitlement Offer
-
The Entitlement Offer is non‐renounceable and is being undertaken on the basis of:
-
one (1) new fully paid ordinary share ( New Share ) for every five (5) ordinary shares held by eligible shareholders on the record date at $0.08 cents per New Share; and
-
one free attaching unlisted option for every 2 New Shares issued in the Entitlement Offer, with an exercise price of 10 cents to 30 June 2013, 15 cents from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 and 20 cents from 1 July 2014 to the expiry date on 30 June 2015 ( New Option ).
-
The Record Date to determine entitlements for Eligible Shareholders is 7.00pm AEST on Monday 18 June 2012.
-
Eligible Shareholders are those persons who:
-
are registered as a holder of Shares as at 7.00pm (AEST) on the Record Date;
-

-
Shareholders not satisfying the above criteria will not be eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
-
Eligible Shareholders may apply for more than their entitlements, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Prospectus.
-
As the Entitlement Offer is non renounceable, entitlements to take up New Shares and New Options are non‐transferable and will not be tradeable on ASX. Shareholders who do not take up their entitlements in full will not receive any value in respect of those entitlements that they do not take up, and their equity interest in the Company will be diluted. Shareholders who are not eligible to receive entitlements will not receive any value in respect of entitlements they would have received, had they been eligible.
-
A maximum of 25,111,081 ordinary shares will be issued under the Entitlement Offer. This number excludes any allowance for shares issued in the event that any option holders exercise

their right to convert their securities to ordinary shares prior to the Record Date. This number is subject to reconciliation of entitlements and rounding. All Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares and New Options.
-

-
The Entitlement Offer is not currently underwritten. The Directors reserve the right to obtain an underwriter at any stage in accordance with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.
