and annual production, along with providing additional immediate cashflows, all of which adds to the strength of our platform for undertaking further organic and inorganic growth activities.

Regis is looking forward to working with AngloGold Ashanti, a proven global gold mine operator, to continue delivering a world class operation at Tropicana for many years into the future."

Regis intends to fund the Acquisition through a combination of a fully underwritten4 equity raising of up to A$650 million via an institutional placement and an accelerated pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer (Equity Raising or the Offer) and a new A$300 million loan facility.

Important information regarding the Acquisition, the Equity Raising and the acquisition funding, including the offer restrictions applicable to the Equity Raising, are outlined in the investor presentation released on the ASX platform today (Investor Presentation).

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS

The Acquisition is subject to the waiver or non-exercise of the rights of pre-emption held by AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (AngloGold) under the joint venture agreement (JVA) between IGO and AngloGold in relation to Tropicana as well as other customary regulatory conditions precedent. If AngloGold exercises its pre-emption rights the Acquisition will not proceed and IGO will instead dispose of the 30% interest in Tropicana to AngloGold on the same terms and conditions as the agreement with Regis.

If the Acquisition does not proceed because AngloGold has exercised its pre-emptive right:

  • a condition precedent to Regis' use of the loan facility will not be capable of satisfaction and the loan facility will not become available;
  • Regis reserves the right to withdraw the placement (to the extent that AngloGold's exercise of its pre-emptive right occurs prior to the settlement of the placement);
  • the accelerated pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer will proceed;
  • Merrill Lynch Equities (Australia) Limited would have the right to terminate the underwriting agreement in relation to the Offer; and
  • Regis will consider alternative uses for the equity proceeds, including the return of a significant portion to shareholders, balance sheet management, working capital or alternative investment opportunities.

If the Acquisition does not proceed because AngloGold has exercised its pre-emptive rights Regis is entitled to a break-fee from IGO of:

  • A$25 million if AngloGold exercise its pre-emptive rights prior to the settlement of the placement and institutional entitlement offer; or
  • A$40 million if AngloGold exercise its pre-emptive rights after the settlement of the placement and institutional entitlement offer.

ACQUISITION OVERVIEW

Transaction details

Regis has entered into a binding Acquisition Agreement with IGO to acquire a 30% non-operating interest in Tropicana, with an effective date of 31 March 2021. The Acquisition is subject to the waiver or nonexercise of the rights of pre-emption held by AngloGold under the JVA between IGO and AngloGold in relation to Tropicana as well as other customary regulatory conditions precedent. If AngloGold exercises its pre-emption rights then the Acquisition will not proceed and IGO will instead dispose of the 30% interest in the Tropicana Gold Project to AngloGold on the same terms and conditions as the agreement with Regis5.

4 Refer to the "Pre-emptive Rights" section below regarding the potential termination of the underwriting agreement if AngloGold

exercises its pre-emptive right and to Note 1 and Note 2 on slide 2 of Regis' investor presentation released to ASX on 13 April 2021. 5 Refer to the section entitled "Pre-emptive Rights" on page 2 of this announcement for details of the effect that AngloGold exercising its pre-emptive rights may have on the Offer.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, Tropicana will be a 30:70 unincorporated joint venture between Regis and AngloGold.

AngloGold is the manager of the unincorporated Tropicana joint venture and is responsible for the dayto-day management of Tropicana in accordance with the approved mine plan and budget. The 30% nonoperating interest provides Regis with immediate exposure to high margin cash flows from an asset operated by a world-class joint venture partner, AngloGold. The JVA provides that certain decisions require the approval of both participants in the joint venture, however Regis will generally not have oversight of, or be able to make decisions in respect of, the day-to-day operation of Tropicana.

Schedule 1 to this announcement summarises the key terms of the Acquisition Agreement and the JVA.

The Acquisition will generate a host of substantial benefits for Regis shareholders, including:

  • The Acquisition will be accretive to Regis' existing portfolio, increasing attributable group Reserves by circa 22% and Resources by circa 30%, FY20A pro-forma annual production by c. 39% and lowering pro-forma FY20A all-in sustaining cost (AISC) by circa 2%
  • The Acquisition diversifies Regis' existing production base with a non-operated interest in a high quality, low-cost, high margin gold asset and includes a pre-emptive right over the remaining 70%
  • Regis will partner with a world class joint venture partner in AngloGold, a proven gold miner with a successful track record of developing and operating Tropicana and other underground assets
  • The Acquisition has the potential to deliver a well-established, long-life asset to the Regis portfolio
    • Expected mine life of 10+ years
    • Attributable Reserves of 0.8Moz and Resources of 2.3Moz6
    • Multiple near mine growth opportunities with attractive regional targets for longer term upside.

Tropicana overview

Tropicana is a top 5 producing Australian open-pit and underground gold mine located in the Albany-Fraser Orogeny, approximately 330km north-east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. It is one of the largest, lowest cost gold mines in Australia.

The Acquisition represents an attractive opportunity for Regis given Tropicana's gold production of 463koz in FY20 and guidance of 380koz – 430koz in FY21E (100% basis), and Tropicana's significant mineral endowment with 49Mt at 1.71g/t for 2.69Moz of Reserves and 145.1Mt at 1.64g/t for 7.64Moz of Mineral Resources (100%) as at 31 December 2020.7

All of Tropicana's deposits are open at depth, providing a clear pathway to extend mine life, plus other local satellite opportunities have been identified. Multiple known life extension opportunities with mineralisation have been defined beneath the Tropicana and Havana open pits along with further extensions to the Boston Shaker underground.

Tropicana is operated by AngloGold, an experienced mining operator with a dedicated, on-the-ground Australian team with a track record of delivery at Tropicana.

ACQUISITION FUNDING

The A$903 million cash consideration payable for the Acquisition will be funded through a combination of:

6 IGO's Tropicana Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates for 31 December 2020. See IGO's ASX release dated 17 March 2021. This guidance has not been prepared by Regis and after completion of the Transaction, Regis will include its own Tropicana guidance in due course. See footnote 3 above.

EQUITY RAISING9

The fully underwritten10 A$650 million Offer comprises the following:

  • An institutional placement of ~74 million new fully paid ordinary shares in Regis (New Shares) to raise ~A$ 200 million (Placement); and

Furthermore, it is intended that eligible institutional shareholders that bid for up to their pro rata allocation of New Shares under the Placement will be allotted their full bid, on a best endeavours basis.

Eligible institutional shareholders will be invited to participate in the accelerated institutional component of the Entitlement Offer (Institutional Entitlement Offer), which is being conducted today, Tuesday, 13 April 2021, along with the Placement.

8 See footnote 4 above.

9 See footnote 5 above.

10 See footnote 4 above. 11 The theoretical ex-rights price is the theoretical price at which Regis shares should trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer. The TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Regis' shares trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer will depend on many factors and may not equal the TERP. TERP is calculated by reference to Regis' closing price of A$3.17 on Monday, 12 April 2021. The TERP also includes New Shares to be issued under the Placement. 12 New Shares issued under the Placement will not have a right to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
