Background to Greatland Resources

 

Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP) is an AIM listed gold-copper mining company operating its business from Western Australia which has announced it is undertaking a corporate reorganisation which will result in it and its subsidiary undertakings (the "Group") sitting under Greatland Resources Limited, an Australian incorporated holding company. The reorganisation will be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 ("Scheme"). An effective share consolidation will occur as part of the Scheme, with Greatland Gold plc shareholders to receive one ordinary share in the capital of Greatland Resources ("Ordinary Share") for every twenty Greatland Gold plc shares held. Greatland Resources will be the entity that is proposed to be listed on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") and whose shares will also be admitted to trading on AIM.

 

Subject to certain conditions including receiving certain regulatory approvals and the Scheme being approved by the Court, Ordinary Shares are currently expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on 23 June 2025, and then quoted and begin trading on the ASX from 24 June 2025.

 

As part of the ASX listing, Greatland Resources is also conducting an offering of new Ordinary Shares to raise gross proceeds for Greatland Resources of up to AUD50m (the "Australian Primary Offer"), and up to 66,729,557 Ordinary Shares will also be offered for sale, representing half of the Ordinary Shares that Newmont NOL Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation) ("Newmont") will be issued under the Scheme (the "Australian Secondary Offer", which together with the Australian Primary Offer, the "Australian Offering"). The Australian Secondary Offer is made by Bright SaleCo Limited ("SaleCo"), a special purpose vehicle incorporated to enable the potential Secondary Offer. No general offering is being made to the public in Australia. The Australian Offering is being made to (i) institutional investors in Australia, New Zealand and certain other eligible jurisdictions; and (ii) to Australian resident retail clients of participating brokers.

 

The ASX listing is intended to:

· enhance the Company's capital markets profile as the ASX is a natural listing venue for the Company as a mining, development and exploration company with assets located in Australia;

· facilitate increased equity research and institutional ownership to support greater liquidity and interest in Ordinary Shares;

· provide access to additional deep pools of capital to support longer term growth; and

· create greater flexibility to pursue the Company's growth strategy, in particular through asset and corporate investments and transactions.

 

The RetailBook Offer

 

Greatland Resources is pleased to announce a conditional retail offer of new Ordinary Shares via RetailBook (the "RetailBook Offer"). For the avoidance of doubt, the RetailBook Offer is not part of the Australian Offering.

 

The issue price of the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the RetailBook Offer will be determined following the close of the bookbuilding process for the Australian Offering and will be priced in GBP by converting the final offer price for Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Australian Offering (which will be priced in Australian dollars) from Australian dollars to pounds sterling at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of the pricing of the Australian Offering ("Issue Price"). The market price of twenty shares in Greatland Gold plc may be less or more than the Issue Price.

 

The RetailBook Offer is conditional on the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the RetailBook Offer and the Australian Offering being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place at 8:00 a.m. (London time) on 23 June 2025. Completion of the RetailBook Offer and Australian Offering are subject to the implementation of the Scheme and ASX confirming conditional admission to the official list of the ASX (subject only to customary conditions that are acceptable to the Joint Lead Managers to the Australian Offering in accordance with their agreement with the Company). If these conditions are not satisfied, then neither the RetailBook Offer nor Australian Offering will proceed.

 

The RetailBook Offer will not be completed without the Australian Offering also being completed.

 

The Company will use the gross proceeds of the RetailBook Offer for general working capital purposes. The Company is not entitled to any of the proceeds of the Australian Secondary Offer which is a sale of Ordinary Shares by Bright SaleCo Limited.

Applications for new Ordinary Shares through participating partners can be made from tax efficient savings vehicles such as ISAs or SIPPs, as well as GIAs. Investors wishing to apply using their ISA, SIPP or GIA should contact their investment platform, retail broker or wealth manager for details of their terms and conditions, process and any relevant fees or charges.

 

The new Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with existing Ordinary Shares and the Ordinary Shares being issued pursuant to the Greatland Australian Offering, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after their date of issue.

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or legal advice.

 

It should be noted that a subscription for new Ordinary Shares and investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the new Ordinary Shares if they are in any doubt.

 

AIM is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more established companies. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser.

 

An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of your investment in the Company and any income from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as rise due to stock market and currency movements. When you sell your investment, you may get back less than the amount originally invested.

 

Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable indicator of future results.

 

This announcement should be read in its entirety. In particular, the information in the "Important Notices" section of the announcement should be read and understood.

INFORMATION TO DISTRIBUTORS

 

UK Product Governance Requirements

 

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the new Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such new Ordinary Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each defined in paragraph 3 of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the new Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the new Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the new Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the RetailBook Offer or the Australian Offering.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the new Ordinary Shares.

 

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the new Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
