FACTOR | TARGET MARKET |
Investment Objective | The Company expects that an investment in New Options will be suitable to investors who wish to gain exposure to equities in a small-cap mining company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). |
Investment Timeframe | The target market of investors will take a short to medium term outlook on their investment. Investors with a short-term outlook for their investment will benefit from an anticipated listing of the New Options on ASX, as well as an ability to exercise New Options and trade the underlying Shares issued on exercise should the exercise price of the New Options be lower than the trading price of Shares. Investors with a medium-term outlook will benefit from an ability to exercise the New Options within the 3 year term of the New Options and increase their shareholding and exposure to the potential upside in the Company’s Shares into the future.

An exercise price is required to be paid to acquire shares on exercise of New Options. As such, the capacity to realise the underlying value of the New Options would require that they be exercised on or before the expiry date. Investors in the target market will need to be in a financial position to have sufficient available funds so as to facilitate an exercise of the New Options prior to the expiry date. Prior to the expiry date, investors’ ability to liquidate the New Options may be limited by a lack of liquidity in the trading of New Options and Shares and the price of the Shares. The New Options offer no guaranteed income or capital protection. |
Risk | The Company considers that an investment in the New Options is highly speculative, such that an investment in the Company |
