Capital Raising

A-Cap Resources Limited announced that the Company’s board of directors has resolved to raise $5.8 million by way of:

  •  a placement to raise $1.32 million from institutional investors based in the United Kingdom; and
  •  a subsequent non-renounceable, entitlement offer to shareholders of approximately 81,824,282 new shares on the basis of one (1) new share in the Company for every 3.5 shares held, at an issue price of 5.5 cents per share to raise approximately $4.5 million, which will be fully underwritten;

Proceeds from the Capital Raising will be used to enable the company to complete further feasibility work necessary
for a mining licence application in the first half of next year at the Company’s Letlhakane Uranium Project in
Botswana. The funds received from the placement will enable critical path drilling, process design and environmental
work to commence immediately. Funds will also be used to advance the Company’s coal projects following positive
reports received from independent consultants on the development potential of these assets.

Placement

The Placement will comprise an issue of up to 24,000,000 shares at an issue price of 5.5 cents each. The Placement will be made to professional and sophisticated investors, pursuant to section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Act) and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 of the ASX Listing Rules.

The Placement will be conducted by Arlington Group Asset Management Limited for a commission fee of 4% (Placement Commission Fee) of the total amount to be raised pursuant to the Placement. Arlington is an entity which is associated with Richard Lockwood, a director of the Company.

Having conducted investigations with respect to the market standard terms for placements which are equivalent to the Placement, the Company is satisfied that the Placement Commission Fee represents a fee which is at least arm’s length terms. Accordingly, the Company is satisfied that the Placement fits within the arm’s length exemption in section 210 of the Act.

The Rights Issue will raise approximately $4.5 million. Eligible shareholders will be entitled to subscribe for one (1) New Share for every 3.5 existing shares held at Monday 28 April 2014, the Record Date, at the Issue Price.
