Lachlan Star raises A$15.09 million via placement of special warrants

Dundee Securities, Salman were the agents; greenshoe fully exercised

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 29 - Lachlan Star Ltd. said it settled a A$15.09 million private placement of special warrants. The deal, which was announced Aug. 3, priced for A$13.12 million with a A$1.97 million greenshoe on Aug. 8.

The company sold 18.4 million special warrants at A$0.82 each, which is a 1.21% discount to the Aug. 5 closing share price of A$0.83. Of the warrants, 2.4 million were part of the fully exercised greenshoe.

Once the escrow release conditions are met, the special warrants will be exercisable at no cost into units of one ordinary share and one half-share warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable at A$1.20 for two years. The strike price reflects a 44.58% premium to the Aug. 5 closing share price.

The deal was conducted by a syndicate of agents that includes Dundee Securities Ltd. and Salman Partners Inc.

Proceeds will be used for development and exploration of the company's CMD Gold Mine in Chile and for general working capital purposes.

Lachlan Star is a gold and copper mining company based in Perth, Australia.
