26 August 2014
SHARE PURCHASE PLAN (SPP)
Sprintex Limited (“Company” and ASX code: “SIX”) is pleased to announce it has secured commitments under its proposed SPP, for up to $600,000
On 13 August 2014, Sprintex Limited (“ Company” and ASX code: “ SIX” ) announced its intention to provide eligible shareholders with the opportunity to participate in a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) as part of an overall capital raising exercise.
The Company is now pleased to announce that it has secured commitments for $600,000, if the proposed SPP does not raise a minimum of $777,000.
Commitment
China Automotive Holdings Limited (CAHL) a company associated with Mr Rick Siemens, the non-executive Chairman of the Company, has agreed to subscribe for up to $600,000 of Shares in the Company at $0.003 per Share conditional upon the participation of other Shareholders in the SPP.
Under the terms of this arrangement, in the event that the SPP raises less than $777,000 in aggregate, then CAHL (or its nominee) has agreed to subscribe for up to a maximum of $600,000 of Shares on the same terms of other Shareholders under the SPP.
As a consequence, the Company will raise a minimum of $600,000 under the SPP depending on the take-up of other Shareholders under the SPP. The obligation on CAHL to subscribe for these additional Shares will reduce to the extent that Shareholders subscribe for between $177,000 and $777,000 Shares under the SPP.
The commitment of CAHL is subject to shareholder approval to be obtained at the upcoming meeting of shareholders to approve the capitalisation of amounts owed by the Company to CAHL and to approve other transactions involving the Company, further details of which are set out below.
SPP Offer Documents
The SPP Offer Document containing the Chairman’s letter and the Terms and Conditions of the SPP are in the process of being finalised and will be sent to eligible shareholders shortly. Eligible shareholders will also be able to download a personalised Application Form through the Company’s Share Registry website at www.advancedshare.com.au Eligible shareholders will be required to log in with their HIN or SRN.
The Share Purchase Plan ( “SPP” ) has been designed to ensure all eligible shareholders will have an opportunity to participate in the capital raising exercise at the same issue price as the Placement ($0.003) .
Funds raised under the previously announced Placement and this SPP will be used for budgeted capital expenditure and working capital purposes and to launch and promote the Company’s core products in the North American market.
