UPDATE ON PROPOSED GRANT OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS AND NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RIGHTS

Australian resource and mineral processing technology company TNG Limited (ASX: TNG) ("TNG" or the “Company”) advises that its Board of Directors has resolved to revise the structure of the previously-announced proposed grant of Performance Rights and Non-Executive Directors Rights (together, “ Rights ”).

As announced on 21 May 2020, the Company proposes to make offers of up to 36.5 million Rights to Directors and eligible executives, employees and consultants under the TNG Limited Performance Rights Plan and the recentlyestablished TNG Limited NED Rights Plan (together, the “ Rights Plans ”).

The Board of Directors has subsequently resolved to revise the structure of the proposed offers of Rights, with a greater focus on the delivery of major project milestones related to the delivery of TNG’s flagship Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project in the Northern Territory.

The changes to the structure of the proposed Rights are summarised as follow:

  • Former Class A, which related to the execution of off-take agreements for all products to be produced at Mount Peake, has been removed as a class given the targeted completion of these outstanding agreements during the next quarter.

  • The weightings of all classes have been revised with a greater allocation to the revised Classes C to F, which relate to the major project milestones (ie, ground breaking activities, and equity and debt financing) and the TNG market capitalisation milestone. The weighting towards revised Classes C to F has increased from 50% to 80% of the total number of proposed Rights to be granted for eligible executives, employees and consultants, and from 60% to 90% for Non-Executive Directors.

  • Class F (formerly Class G) has been amended, with the TNG target market capitalisation increasing from A$300 million to A$500 million, and any new shares issued after the grant of the Rights now excluded from the market capitalisation calculation.

Please refer to Annexure A for further details on the revised structure of the proposed grant of Rights.

The Board believes that the revised structure adequately focuses on the achievement of the key project development milestones, while still delivering on the objectives of the Rights offers of attracting, retaining and incentivising the key personnel required for the successful delivery of Mount Peake and driving company performance for the benefit of all shareholders. All other areas of the proposal remain the same.

The proposed grant of Rights to Directors is subject to shareholder approval, which is intended to be sought at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting later this year. The grant of Rights to eligible executives, employees and consultants will be made subject to the approval by shareholders of the proposed grants of Rights to Directors.

The TNG Limited Performance Rights Plan was approved by shareholders at TNG’s 2018 Annual General Meeting (see Notice of Annual General Meeting released to ASX on 16 October 2018 for further details). The key terms of the TNG Limited NED Rights Plan are the same as the key terms of the Performance Rights Plan, except that NED Rights may only be issued to non-executive Directors. To date, the Company has not issued any Rights under the Rights Plans.

Rights will vest only upon satisfaction of certain key performance/vesting conditions as set by the Board of Directors and will entitle the holder to one fully-paid TNG ordinary share for each vested right.

Each Right will, upon vesting and exercise, result in the issue of one ordinary share in the Company. No issue price or exercise price is payable for the Rights. The Board will determine (in its sole discretion) the extent to which the relevant vesting conditions have been satisfied. Rights may vest (and be exercised into shares) progressively as vesting conditions are satisfied.
