RIGHTS ISSUE CLOSURE AND SHORTFALL NOTIFICATION
Australian strategic metals company TNG Limited (ASX: TNG) (“TNG” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that its fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue (“Rights Issue”) announced on 11 June 2019 closed on 24 July 2019.
The Company received applications under the Rights Issue for a total of 24,010,897 new shares for a total of $2,233,013 (at $0.093 per share), including applications for additional new shares exceeding entitlements. This represents a take-up rate of approximately 45%, a pleasing result for the Company.
The Rights Issue was fully underwritten by Deutsche Balaton Aktiengesellschaft. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, Deutsche Balaton has applied for and will be issued the balance of 29,539,900 shortfall shares at an issue price of $0.093 per share for an amount totalling $2,747,210.
A total of 53,550,797 new shares will be issued under the Rights Issue, raising a total of $4,980,224. Following completion of the Rights Issue, Deutsche Balaton and its associates will hold voting power in the Company of 12.3%.
The new shares under the Rights Issue are intended to be issued on 31 July 2019.
The Company had a cash position of $20.1 million at 30 June 2019, prior to the completion of the Rights Issue.
Management Comment
Commenting on the outcome of the Rights Issue, TNG’s Managing Director and CEO, Mr Paul Burton, said:
“This is an excellent result which reflects the strong and continued support of our loyal shareholder base for the Company’s funding and development strategy for the world-class Mount Peake Vanadium-TitaniumIron Project. On behalf of the Board of Directors of TNG, I would like to thank all shareholders who participated in the Rights Issue for their support. I would also like to thank Deutsche Balaton for their commitment to TNG in underwriting the Right Issue.
“The proceeds of the Rights Issue will further strengthen the Company’s balance sheet following the recent institutional placement to German-based institutions DELPHI Unternehmensberatung AG and Sparta AG, respectively the parent company and a subsidiary of Deutsche Balaton. This puts us in a very strong position as we progress pre-development activities for Mount Peake, including front-end engineering and design, and final permitting, ahead of a potential Final Investment Decision for the project.”
