Since the 4 April 2022 announcement, the Company has been working with the vendor of Mount Margaret, Glencore Plc, legal counsel and advisors on the preparation of the documentation required to complete the acquisition and preparing for the capital raising required as a part of the transaction.
During this period, the Company has appointed Jett Capital Advisors LLC (Jett Capital) and Petra Capital Pty Ltd (Petra Capital) in addition to the previously announced participation of Euroz Hartleys. Jett Capital and Petra Capital will act as Joint Lead Managers to the Company’s $50 million capital raising (Public Offer). Euroz Hartleys will remain involved in the Public Offer in the role of Co-Manager to the Public Offer. The Company is pleased to have the support of this team of advisors to assist us in closing the transaction.
As disclosed in the Notice of Meeting (NOM) released on 27 May 2022, the estimated timing to close the transaction has been extended, with a current estimate being completion of all requirements and re-quotation of the Company’s shares on the ASX of 15 July 2022. The Company notes that this timeline is an estimate only and is subject to variation based on a range of factors, many of which the Company is not able to directly control. It is the Company’s intention to close the transaction as soon as it can.
The Company has been receiving some queries from shareholders regarding the timing of the transaction and also on certain aspects of the transaction. It is unfortunately not possible to address each shareholders queries directly via phone or email, and therefore we have planned an interview with Matthew O’Kane, Managing Director of Comet, to summarise the transaction highlights, explain the plans for the future post completion of the transaction, and to also respond to some of the common queries the Company has been receiving. The Company invites shareholders to send questions they would like Mr O’Kane to address in this interview to comet@cometres.com.au.
For a current summary of the expected timeline of milestones to the completion of the transaction, please refer to the indicative timetable below, which was also published in the NOM released on 27 May 2022 (refer to section 1.10 on page 31). The Company encourages shareholders to read the NOM fully as it also contains significant information of the transaction that will assist shareholders with voting on the resolutions the subject of the NOM. Further information will be available in the prospectus once that is published.
