Merger Update – Scheme Booklet registered with ASIC
Tawana Resources NL (ASX:TAW) (Tawana) is pleased to announce that the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission has today registered the Scheme Booklet in relation to the proposed merger between
Tawana and Alliance Mineral Assets Limited (AMAL) (Merger). The Merger is to be effected by way of a
members scheme of arrangement whereby Tawana Shareholders will receive 1.1 new Alliance Shares for every
1 Tawana Share held (Scheme).
On Friday 17 August 2018, the Federal Court of Australia approved the convening of a meeting of Tawana
shareholders to consider and vote on the Scheme and approve the dispatch of the Scheme Booklet to Tawana
Shareholders.
Implementation of the Scheme will consolidate 100% ownership of the Bald Hill Mine, and elevate the status
of the merged group as a pure-play ASX and SGX Catalist listed lithium company ideally positioned to become
a sizeable producer of high demand lithium concentrate. Furthermore, the Merger will simplify the ownership
structure and operational management of the Bald Hill Project and enhance the financial capacity of the
merged group to fund future growth and exploration initiatives.
The Independent Expert, BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd, has concluded that the Scheme is fair and
reasonable and therefore is in the best interests of Tawana Shareholders, in the absence of a superior
proposal.
The full report of the Independent Expert (including a technical specialist report prepared by SRK Consulting)
is set out in Annexure A of the Scheme Booklet. The AMAL Board has, in accordance with its regulatory
requirements, separately commissioned a valuation report for the Bald Hill Mine - refer to Section 10.7 of the
Scheme Booklet for more information.
The Board of Tawana unanimously recommends that all Tawana shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme,
and each Tawana Director intends to vote the Tawana Shares that they own or control at the time of the
Scheme Meeting (if any), and will direct any Tawana proxies placed at their discretion, in favour of the
Scheme in the absence of a superior proposal.
