Placement
The Directors of Flinders Mines Limited (ASX:FMS)
are pleased to announce a capital raising of up to
$6.7 million comprising:
• A placement ("Placement") of approximately
313.3 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.015 per share to raise approximately A$4.7 million; and
• A share purchase plan ("SPP") at $0.015 per
share to raise up to $2.0 million via the issue of up to approximately 133.3 million fully paid ordinary shares
The Placement is being made to sophisticated and professional investors under the Company's existing
15% placement capacity so shareholder approval for the proposed issue will not be required nor sought. The issue will not be to a class of security holders.
Settlement of the Placement is expected to occur on or around Tuesday, 25 November, 2014. New shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing shares in Flinders.
In particular, Flinders would like to thank Tio (NZ) Limited ("Todd"), a subsidiary of New Zealand based Todd Corporation Limited, for their continued support of the Pilbara Iron Ore Project via their firm placement commitment of approximately $4.5m in what is a difficult market for junior developers.
Flinders has agreed that Todd Corporation, whilst they maintain a shareholding of at least 19%, shall have
the right, subject to consultation, to nominate and have appointed a person to the Board of Directors of Flinders. Appointment of such person shall be subject to the requirements of the Company's constitution and the Corporations Act.
Share Purchase Plan
The Company is pleased to offer its eligible shareholders the opportunity to each acquire up to a maximum of $15,000 worth of new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.015 per share, free of all brokerage and commissions.
The right to participate in the SPP is available to shareholders who were registered as holders of Flinders shares at 6:30PM Adelaide time on Tuesday,
18 November, 2014 and who have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand ("Eligible Shareholders").
The complete terms and conditions of the SPP will be mailed to all Eligible Shareholders on or about Tuesday, 25 November, 2014. Shareholders are urged to read the SPP terms and conditions in their entirety before deciding whether to participate in the SPP
and, if in doubt, to seek advice from their professional
advisor.
