Further to the Company’s previous announcement of 18 August 2021, the Board of NewPeak Metals Limited (the Company; ASX:NPM) wishes to advise that a Supplementary Prospectus for the Company’s Share Purchase Plan (SPP) has been lodged today with ASIC, with a copy attached to this announcement.

Essentially the Supplementary Prospectus deals with an extension to the Closing Date under the SPP to enable sufficient time for the Company to convene the shareholder’s meeting required to approve the allotment of the options proposed to be issued, including to eligible participants under the SPP.

As previously advised, under the SPP the Company is making an offer to those shareholders who were registered shareholders as 7:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday 11 August 2021 (the Record Date ) with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland ( Eligible Shareholders ).

Personalised offer forms for the SPP are available for Eligible Shareholders via a microsite hosted by the Registry, Link Market - Services, at: https://events.miraqle.com/npm spp

To use the microsite:

Website: NewPeak.com.au Twitter: @ASX_NPM

  • Make your payment of total Application Monies via BPAY® for the number of New Shares that you wish to apply for based on the parcel amounts listed.

Eligible Shareholders have the right to apply for up to $30,000 worth

of new shares ( New Shares ) under the SPP to raise approximately $1,000,000 (before costs). The Company currently intends to accept oversubscriptions of up to an additional $500,000 if there is sufficient demand (which would bring the total amount being raised to $1.5 million). The Company is also offering shareholders who are creditors of the Company the opportunity to convert debt under a Debt Conversion Facility.
