Use of Proceeds
-
The Company will use the funds raised under the Placement and Entitlement Issue to:
-
Fund acquisition costs and progress the high grade Kathleen Valley Gold Project;
-
Progress the development of the high grade Vivien Gold Project; and
-
Provide working capital to the Company.
Placement
The placement is being made to sophisticated and professional investors under the Company’s existing 15% placement capacity. It is anticipated that the Placement shares will be issued on 2 July 2014. New shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing shares in Ramelius. It is expected that the New Options will be issued on the same date as the shares issued under the Entitlement Issue.
Entitlement Issue
The Entitlement Issue will constitute an offer of approximately 99.5 million new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on the basis of 1 new share for every 4 existing shares held by eligible shareholders on the Record Date. The offer price will be the same as that offered under the Placement, being $0.065 per new share, representing a 34% discount to the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 19 June 2014. New shares issued under the Entitlement Issue will rank equally with all existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.
Subscribers to the Entitlement Issue will also receive 1 free option for every 2 new shares subscribed for, exercisable at $0.12 on or before 1 August 2015.
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to shareholders who have a registered address in a country outside of Australia or New Zealand having regard to the number of shareholders in such places, the number and value of the new shares that would be offered and the substantial costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions. Shareholders with an address in Australia or New Zealand on the Company’s register at the close of business on 8 July 2014 will be eligible to participate in the Entitlement Issue (“Eligible Shareholders”).
The Directors reserve the right to place any shortfall at their discretion within three months after the close of the Offer. Eligible Shareholders’ entitlements pursuant to the Entitlement Issue are non-renounceable and accordingly, they may:
-
take up their rights in full or in part;
-
do nothing; in which case their rights will lapse; or
-
take up their rights in full and apply for additional new shares.
Full details of the Entitlement Issue will be set out in the Prospectus which will be lodged by the Company with ASIC and ASX on 2 July 2014.

The above dates are indicative only.
