IMX Resources Limited: Termite Resources Update - Liquidator Agrees Standstill

West Perth WA (FSCwire) - IMX Resources Limited (ASX: IXR) (‘IMX’ or the ‘Company’) provides the following update in relation to the liquidation of Termite Resources NL (‘Termite’).

As previously announced to the ASX on 16 September 2015, IMX received a letter of demand (the ‘Letter of Demand’) from the liquidators of Termite (the ‘Liquidators’) which provided notice of a potential claim against certain directors and officers of Termite (the ‘Individual Defendants’) as well as against IMX itself (‘Claims’).

Since receiving the Letter of Demand, IMX has engaged legal counsel and corresponded with the liquidators to vigorously defend its position.

IMX now advises that it has entered into a Standstill Deed with the Liquidators, which can be summarised as follows: IMX and the Individual Defendants have requested that Termite give further consideration of whether to proceed with the Claims against IMX. Termite, at the request of IMX and the Individual Defendants, is agreeable to deferring the institution of proceedings against IMX in order to further consider the position as between IMX and Termite.

The Company maintains that the Claims made against it are more likely to fail than succeed.

IMX Managing Director Mr Phil Hoskins said the Standstill Deed was a positive step forward.

“We have always maintained that the claims against IMX were without merit and it is a positive development to have reached agreement with the Liquidator on the Standstill Deed considering previous correspondence from the Liquidator had indicated an intention to file proceedings against IMX. We will continue to do everything possible to have IMX completely removed from any claims made by the Liquidator.”
