Closure of Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer and Notification of Shortfall

West Perth WA (FSCwire) - IMX Resources Limited (ASX: IXR) (‘IMX’ or the ‘Company’) advises that the Company’s 1 for 3 non-renounceable entitlement offer (the ‘Entitlement Offer’) made pursuant to the Offer Document dated 7 January 2016, closed at 5:00pm on 18 January 2016.

The Company received acceptances for a total of 90,648,950 shares raising $362,596. These shares are expected to be issued on 22 January 2016, with trading to commence on 25 January 2016. The number of shares offered under the Entitlement Offer was 386,395,872 shares resulting in a shortfall of 295,746,922 shares (the ‘Shortfall Shares’).

Funds raised from the Entitlement Offer will be used to support completion of the recently announced proposed restructure transaction (see ASX announcement 21 December 2015).


Placement of Shortfall Shares

The Directors of the Company reserve the right to place the balance of the Shortfall Shares at their discretion. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 3), any Shortfall Shares will be issued within 3 months from the date the Entitlement Offer closed. The Directors may decide at their discretion to close the shortfall offer at any time.

IMX Managing Director Mr Phil Hoskins said the Company had received expressions of interest from a number of brokers in participating in the shortfall offer, giving it confidence in its ability to place the Shortfall Shares.

“The purpose of this Entitlement Offer was to give existing shareholders the opportunity to participate in the future direction of IMX, in particular the proposed restructure of the Company’s assets that is expected to provide an opportunity to better realise the significant value in the Company’s Chilalo Graphite Project and its base and precious metals assets. The take-up from existing shareholders is not unexpected in this market, at this time of year and during the Company’s current transitional phase, however I am confident that there is sufficient demand from brokers to place the Shortfall Shares and expect this to occur within the next two weeks,” he said.
