Dear Shareholder
Golden Rim Resources Limited - Details of Entitlement Offer for Shareholders
As announced on 15 February 2013, the directors of Golden Rim Resources Limited (Golden Rim) have resolved to undertake a pro-rata renounceable Entitlement Offer of 1 fully paid ordinary share (New Share) for every 9
Golden Rim shares at an issue price $0.04 per New Share (Entitlement Offer).
The Entitlement Offer will raise approximately $2,272,028. The funds raised under the Entitlement Offer along with the funds raised under the placement announced on 15 February 2013 will provide the Company with the necessary funds to conduct further exploration at the Balogo and Sebba projects; complete a definitive feasibility study for the Netiana Lodes at Balogo (subject to the results of the scoping study); provide for the initial acquisition costs in respect of a 90% interest in the Korongou project and exploration at the Korongou project, including a maiden RC drilling program; and provide working capital.
The Record Date for the Entitlement Offer is 5.00pm (WST) on 5 March 2013 (Record Date).
Patersons Securities Limited is the lead manager and underwriter to the Entitlement Offer. The Company will pay Patersons Securities Limited an underwriting fee equal to 4% of the underwritten amount of $2,272,028 (being approximately $90,881) and a management fee of 1% of the total amount raised by the Entitlement Offer (being up to approximately $22,720 (plus GST)).
The Entitlement Offer is to be implemented under a prospectus dated 22 February 2013 (Prospectus). The Prospectus will be sent to eligible shareholders shortly together with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance form. The Prospectus (without your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance form) has been lodged with Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and is available on the ASX website and on Golden Rim's website at www.goldenrim.com.au.
Summary of key features of the Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement Offer is open to eligible shareholders who bought shares before 5 March 2013 and held those shares as at the Record Date with registered addresses in Australia, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates (Eligible Shareholders). All other shareholders are not eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer and will be notified by Golden Rim separately (Ineligible Shareholders). Ineligible Shareholders will not be entitled to subscribe for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer. The Company's Ineligible Shareholders are in countries outside of Australia, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates.
Under the terms of the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders will be entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 9 Golden Rim shares bought before 27 February 2013 and held at the Record Date at an issue price of A$0.04 per New Share (Entitlements). Where fractions arise in the calculation of Entitlements, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares. Eligible Shareholders may also apply for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement on the terms set out in the Prospectus.
