Queensland Bauxite Limited: Recompliance Update
The Board has decided that the revised offer under the recompliance will be a discounted raising exclusively to shareholders of QBL, and as previously advised, the directors intend to utilise their discretion to allocate the raising to shareholders in accordance with the size of their shareholding and the length of time the shareholder has held their shares. The offer will be open to all shareholders, and the directors will try to accommodate as many shareholders as possible pro rata to their shareholding.
The Board has determined that the exclusive offer will be for a minimum raising of $2M and an oversubscription up to a maximum raising of $6M, at 3.5c per share and one attaching 18 month option at 10c exercise price for every two shares subscribed for.
The Board also wishes to advise, that the Company has come to an agreement with Medcan to extend the date for completion of the Medcan acquisition agreement to the 31st October 2018.
The Company has been informed by the ASX, that the ASX current policy for any company undergoing a recompliance, that if the price of the recompliance capital raise is amended from that which was announced in the Annexure A transformation announcement, that given the repricing there will be significant changes to the capital structure of the Company and metrics of the recompliance for which the market will not be fully informed which necessitates that the relevant Company's shares will be suspended from trading until the recompliance is complete. Due to the current market conditions, the Board has had no option but to change the raising price.
Under the timetable released to the market, we are expecting the recompliance to be completed in October.
The Directors believe that the new merged entity will be a much stronger one, and therefore this process should significantly benefit all our long term loyal shareholders.
