Troy Resources Ltd.: Institutional Acceptance Facility and First Supplementary Bidder's Statement
The Facility allows the Eligible Azimuth Shareholders to indicate their intention to accept the Offer, thereby increasing the prospect of Troy obtaining a relevant interest in at least 90% of the Azimuth shares on issue by the closing date of the Offer, which will assist Troy in proceeding to compulsory acquisition. Eligible Azimuth Shareholders who wish to participate in the Facility should contact Computershare Clearing Pty Ltd on +61 3 9415 5587.
Azimuth shareholders who are not Eligible Azimuth Shareholders (and are therefore not able to participate in the Facility) can still accept the Offer by following the instructions in the Bidder's Statement which has been mailed to Azimuth shareholders.
The Azimuth board of directors and CEO continue to unanimously recommend that Azimuth shareholders ACCEPT THE OFFER, in the absence of a superior proposal.
In addition to their recommendation, Azimuth's board of directors have now accepted the Offer in respect of all Azimuth shares that they hold or control.
Should you intend to accept the Offer, the Azimuth board of directors and CEO encourage you to do so without delay.
The closing date of the Offer is 7:00pm (Sydney time) / 5.00am (Toronto time) on 14 June 2013, unless extended or withdrawn.
The attached document is Troy's first supplementary bidder's statement dated 24 May 2013 (Supplementary Bidder's Statement: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/TRYBID0524.pdf) prepared in accordance with section 643 of the Corporations Act.
