For personal use only ASX Announcement 30 October 2014 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Paul Murphy (Non-Executive Chairman) Bryan Dixon (Managing Director) Alan Thom (Executive Director) Greg Miles (Non-Executive Director) ASX CODE BLK CORPORATE INFORMATION 118.9M Ordinary Shares 14.1M Unlisted Options ABN: 18 119 887 606 PRINCIPAL AND REGISTERED OFFICE Blackham Resources Ltd L2, 38 Richardson Street West Perth WA 6005 $3.8m Funding Package Blackham Resources Limited (“Blackham” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received equity commitments for $3.15 million at 11.5 cents per fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company (“Share”). The Company has subscriptions for $450,000 through a placement of 3.91 million shares at 11.5 cents per Shares (“Placement Shares”) to sophisticated and professional investors (“Placement”). Blackham also wishes to advise that it has strengthened its relationship with Lanstead Capital L.P. ("Lanstead"), a UK based institutional investor, by signing a subscription agreement under which Lanstead will be providing funding of $2,200,000 before expenses by way of a subscription for 19,130,455 Shares ("Subscription Shares") at a price of $0.115 per share ("Subscription"). Further details of the Subscription are set out below. Both the Placement Shares and the Subscription Shares will be issued under the Company’s existing capacity pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules, as approved by shareholders at the Company’s general meeting on 2 September 2014. www.blackhamresources.com.au In addition, the Company intends to offer its existing shareholders the chance to top up their shareholdings by subscribing for shares pursuant to a proposed offer of up to 10,000,000 Shares pursuant to a prospectus to raise up to $1,150,000 before costs (“Offer”). BBY Limited has committed to partially underwrite the Offer to the amount of $500,000. E: [email protected] Use of Proceeds P: +61 8 93226418 F: +61 8 93226398 The net proceeds raised from the Placement, the Subscription and Offer will be used to fund exploration and development studies for the Company’s Matilda Gold Project and for general working capital. POSTAL ADDRESS PO Box 1412 West Perth WA 6872 Subscription Lanstead, a substantial shareholder in the Company, has subscribed for a further 19,130,455 Ordinary Shares (the "Subscription Shares"), for an aggregate consideration of $2,200,000. In addition, the Company has entered into Equity Swap Agreements with Lanstead which allow the Company to retain much of the economic interest in the Lanstead Subscription Shares. The Equity Swap Agreements enable the Company to secure much of the potential upside arising from anticipated near term news flow. 1 For personal use only The Equity Swap Agreements provide that the Company's economic interest will be determined and payable in 18 monthly settlement tranches as measured against a benchmark price of $0.153333 per Share (the "Benchmark Price"). If the measured Share price exceeds the Benchmark Price, for that month, the Company will receive more than 100per cent of the monthly settlement due on a pro rata basis. There is no upper limit placed on the additional proceeds receivable by the Company as part of the monthly settlements. Should the measured Share price be below the Benchmark Price, the Company will receive less than 100 per cent of the expected monthly settlement on a pro rata basis. Of the aggregate proceeds of $2,200,000 from the issue of the Subscription Shares, the Company will use $330,000 (15 per cent) for working capital and $1,870,000 (85 per cent) for investment in the Equity Swap Agreements as described above. In no event would a decline in the Share price result in any increase in the number of shares received by Lanstead or any other advantage accruing to Lanstead. The Company has agreed to make a value payment to Lanstead of 956,522 Ordinary Shares in consideration for the Equity Swap Agreements. Following completion of the Subscription and the Placement (but excluding any shares issued under the Offer) Lanstead will have an interest in 28,322,251 Shares representing approximately 19.6% of Blackham's enlarged issued Share capital. Shareholder Offer The Company proposes to raise $1,150,000 by way of the Offer, with priority being given to existing shareholders. The Offer price equates to approximately a: • • • 12% discount to the last price ($0.13/share); 12% discount to 10 day VWAP ($0.13/share); and 26% discount to 30 day VWAP ($0.154/share) of Shares sold on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) during the period ending 15 October 2014. The Offer will provide shareholders with the opportunity to apply for Shares at 11.5 cents per Share. The Offer opens on 30 October 2014 and will close on or before 26 November 2014. Full details of the Offer will be contained in the prospectus and accompanying application forms, which will be sent to all shareholders in the coming days. BBY Limited has committed to partially underwrite the Offer to the amount of $500,000.
