ANNEXURE A
Phosphate Resources Ltd
Acquisition of Palm Oil Operation
The Board advises that they have completed the acquisition of Cheekah – Kemayan Plantations Sdn Bhd on 30 April 2011 with effect from 1 May 2011.
The plantation and mill operations will be conducted for PRL by the Prosper Group under a management contract with PGC Management Services Sdn Bhd.
The acquisition costing RM 145 million was financed by a term loan of USD 30 million from OCBC Malaysia and the balance provided from internal funds.
The Board is confident that even on conservative pricing projections the producing palm oil plantation estate of 4,060 acres in Pahang in peninsular Malaysia and the mill and processing facility servicing the estate and surrounding estates will provide a very satisfactory rate of return on investment on an ongoing basis.
The Board will continue to review other investment opportunities to ensure capital growth of the company and continuing cash returns so that it can maintain its dividend producing capacity beyond its mining operations on Christmas Island.
