$3.8m Funding Package
Blackham Resources Limited (“Blackham” or “the Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has received equity commitments for
$3.15 million at 11.5 cents per fully paid ordinary share in the capital
of the Company (“Share”).
The Company has subscriptions for $450,000 through a placement
of 3.91 million shares at 11.5 cents per Shares (“Placement
Shares”) to sophisticated and professional investors (“Placement”).
Blackham also wishes to advise that it has strengthened its
relationship with Lanstead Capital L.P. ("Lanstead"), a UK based
institutional investor, by signing a subscription agreement under
which Lanstead will be providing funding of $2,200,000 before
expenses by way of a subscription for 19,130,455 Shares
("Subscription Shares") at a price of $0.115 per share
("Subscription"). Further details of the Subscription are set out
below.
Both the Placement Shares and the Subscription Shares will be
issued under the Company’s existing capacity pursuant to the ASX
Listing Rules, as approved by shareholders at the Company’s
general meeting on 2 September 2014.

In addition, the Company intends to offer its existing shareholders
the chance to top up their shareholdings by subscribing for shares
pursuant to a proposed offer of up to 10,000,000 Shares pursuant
to a prospectus to raise up to $1,150,000 before costs (“Offer”).
BBY Limited has committed to partially underwrite the Offer to the
amount of $500,000.

Subscription
Lanstead, a substantial shareholder in the Company, has subscribed
for a further 19,130,455 Ordinary Shares (the "Subscription Shares"),
for an aggregate consideration of $2,200,000. In addition, the
Company has entered into Equity Swap Agreements with Lanstead
which allow the Company to retain much of the economic interest in
the Lanstead Subscription Shares. The Equity Swap Agreements
enable the Company to secure much of the potential upside arising
from anticipated near term news flow.

For personal use only
The Equity Swap Agreements provide that the Company's economic interest will be determined
and payable in 18 monthly settlement tranches as measured against a benchmark price of
$0.153333 per Share (the "Benchmark Price"). If the measured Share price exceeds the
Benchmark Price, for that month, the Company will receive more than 100per cent of the
monthly settlement due on a pro rata basis. There is no upper limit placed on the additional
proceeds receivable by the Company as part of the monthly settlements. Should the measured
Share price be below the Benchmark Price, the Company will receive less than 100 per cent of
the expected monthly settlement on a pro rata basis. Of the aggregate proceeds of $2,200,000
from the issue of the Subscription Shares, the Company will use $330,000 (15 per cent) for
working capital and $1,870,000 (85 per cent) for investment in the Equity Swap Agreements as
described above. In no event would a decline in the Share price result in any increase in the
number of shares received by Lanstead or any other advantage accruing to Lanstead. The
Company has agreed to make a value payment to Lanstead of 956,522 Ordinary Shares in
consideration for the Equity Swap Agreements.
Following completion of the Subscription and the Placement (but excluding any shares issued
under the Offer) Lanstead will have an interest in 28,322,251 Shares representing
approximately 19.6% of Blackham's enlarged issued Share capital.
Shareholder Offer
The Company proposes to raise $1,150,000 by way of the Offer, with priority being given to
existing shareholders. The Offer price equates to approximately a:
•
•
•
12% discount to the last price ($0.13/share);
12% discount to 10 day VWAP ($0.13/share); and
26% discount to 30 day VWAP ($0.154/share)
of Shares sold on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) during the period ending 15 October
2014.
The Offer will provide shareholders with the opportunity to apply for Shares at 11.5 cents per
Share. The Offer opens on 30 October 2014 and will close on or before 26 November 2014. Full
details of the Offer will be contained in the prospectus and accompanying application forms, which
will be sent to all shareholders in the coming days. BBY Limited has committed to partially
underwrite the Offer to the amount of $500,000.
