This has a consequential effect on the anticipated date of issue and normal trading of the New Securities.
The revised indicative timetable for the Rights Issue Offer, which has been approved by ASX, is set out below and replaces the indicative timetable set out on page 4 of the Prospectus:

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, the Directors reserve the right to further vary the dates for the Rights Issue Offer at their discretion. Should this occur, the variation will have a consequential effect on the anticipated date of issue and normal trading of New Securities (if applicable).
3.2 Current financial position and alterantive options to raise funds.
As set out in the Prospectus, the Rights Issue Offer is not underwritten and there is no guarantee that any funds will be raised under the Rights Issue Offer. However, each of the Directors intends to take up their Entitlement in full, in which case the Company will receive proceeds of at least approximately $278,000 under the Rights Issue Offer. If no other funding was raised under the Rights Issue Offer, the Company would need to reconsider its current activities including delaying or deferring capital expenditure programs and would seek to raise further capital in the short term to continue its core activities. The Company would seek to do this first do this via placement of the Shortfall Shares or short term debt arrangements, then via securing the First Debt Facility and then via other private placements if required. The Company requires the consent of Chimaera for new funding facilities under the terms of the Heads of Agreement for the Debt Facilities with Chimaera, and does not anticipate any issue with securing Chimaera’s consent.
3.3 Potential dilution effects of Options (warrants) issued in connection with the Debt Facilities
The terms of the Heads of Agreement for the Debt Facilities include the issue of Options (warrants) in connection with the provision of the Debt Facilities to be provided by the Company.
Under the terms of the Heads of Agreement, the financier[1] (including syndicate member(s)) will be entitled to the grant of the number of Options (warrants) equivalent to 15% of the value of any financing divided by the value of a Share, as determined by Chimaera’s reasonable valuation of the Company (to be completed by 30 May 2015), assuming the Company’s capital structure at 30 April 2015 and provided that the valuation is no less than the Company’s market capitalisation during the period from 30 April 2015 to completion of the valuation. Chimaera has not provided a valuation to the Company as at the date of this Supplementary Prospectus.
The Options (warrants) for the First Debt Facility will have an exercise price of A$0.322 (being a 10% discount to the 10 day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares
1 The financier, Chimaera, is a Singapore incorporated entity. Ian Pattison is neither a director or shareholder of Chimaera. Chimaera is party to various intercompany service arrangements in which Chimaera may be liable to make payments to, or entitled to receive payments from, Chimaera Capital Limited and Markets Nominees Pty Ltd ( CCL and MN respectively). Mr Ian Pattison is a director of both of those entities and has an indirect ownership interest in CCL and MN but does not control either of those entities.
This Supplementary Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the Prospectus dated 7 May 2015 issued by Valence Industries Limited (ACN 008 101 979).

prior to the execution of the Heads of Agreement). The exercise price of the Options (warrants) issued for the main Debt Facility of US$75 million will be determined at the time the finance documentation for that Debt Facility is entered into. Both the number of Options (warrants) and the exercise price will be subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including change in issued equity, equity issuances, return of capital and other corporation actions by the Company.
The provision of the Debt Facilities and the issue of the Options (warrants) is conditional on, amongst other things, negotiation and execution of formal documentation for the Debt Facilities and any regulatory and shareholder approvals that are required. Accordingly, it should be noted that the terms and conditions of the Options (warrants) may ultimately vary from those contained in the Heads of Agreement.
However, for illustrative purposes, the table below sets out an example of the number of Options (warrants) that may be issued in connection with the Debt Facilities and the percentage dilution experienced by Shareholders as a result, based on the terms and conditions set out in the Heads of Agreement, the Company’s assumptions in the footnotes to the table and the following assumptions made by the Company:
-
(a) the maximum of US$20 million is provided under the First Debt Facility;
-
(b) US$75million is provided under the main Debt Facility;
-
(c) the Australian dollar to US exchange rate is 0.80 (based on the exchange rate published by the Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday 19 May 2015);
-
(d) the value per share in the Company for the purpose of determining the number of Options (warrants) to be issued is assumed to be A$0.23, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on the date of this Supplementary Prospectus. The final valuation for this purpose has not been undertaken by Chimaera;
-
(e) the exercise price of the Options (warrants) is A$0.322 (but for the main Debt Facility this currently not known and will be determined at the time the finance documentation is entered into);
-
(f) all Options (warrants) are exercised during the applicable exercise period; and
-
(g) no circumstances arise during the term of the Options (warrants) that could give rise to an adjustment to the number or exercise price of the Options (warrants).
