Dear Shareholder
Today KGL Resources Limited ACN 082 658 080 (KGL or Company) announced a two for nine pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to raise approximately
$3 million (Entitlement Offer).
The Entitlement Offer will be fully underwritten by Denis Leslie Wood (Underwriter), the Chairman of KGL.
The proceeds of the Entitlement Offer will be applied principally to working capital, and in particular to the further development of KGL's current projects and operations. Further details about the use of funds raised by the Entitlement Offer are included in the investor presentation lodged with ASX on
29 December 2015.
The offer price for the Entitlement Offer will be $0.095 per share (Offer Price).
Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders will be able to subscribe for two new ordinary shares in the Company for every nine existing shares (New Shares) held at 7.00pm (Brisbane time) on
5 January 2016 (Record Date) at the Offer Price (Entitlements). The information booklet and notice given in accordance with section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act 2001(Cth) (Corporations Act) have been lodged with ASX and are available to view on the ASX website (www.asx.com.au).
Fractional Entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
KGL will offer the New Shares for issue without disclosure to investors under section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act as notionally modified by ASIC Class Order 08/35.
Eligible shareholders may also apply for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement at the same price as under the Entitlement Offer (Top-Up Facility). Additional New Shares will only be available under the Top-Up Facility where there is a shortfall between applications for New Shares received from eligible shareholders and the number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer. There is no guarantee that applicants under this top up facility will receive all or any of the shares that they apply for under the top up facility.
Except in relation to the reimbursement of certain reasonable expenses, the Underwriter is not entitled to be paid any amount in connection with the underwriting agreement.
