Jupiter Mines - ASX Listing Oversubscribed
17 April 18
Red Rock Resources Plc, the natural resource development company
with interests in gold and steel feed materials, announces further
to the release of 19 March 18 that Jupiter Mines Limited
("Jupiter"), an Australian public company, has announced the full
allocation of its A$240m Initial Public Offering ("IPO"),
comprising a A$225m institutional allocation and an A$15m
allocation in the general public offer. The IPO was significantly
oversubscribed.
At A$240m, the Jupiter IPO, will be one of the largest Initial
Public Offerings in the Metals and Mining industry over the last
decade. Jupiter is currently expected to begin trading on the ASX
at 1100 hrs AEST on 18 April 2018.
As part of the listing process, the Company, along with several
other large institutional shareholders in Jupiter agreed to sell
part of their holdings to ensure an adequate free float
post-listing. Red Rock has now sold 4,700,000 shares, constituting
20.2% of its holding in Jupiter, and has agreed to retain the
balance of its 18,524,914 shares in escrow for a period after
listing. In consideration for this sale the Company has received
AUD1,842,400 after expenses.
Red Rock retains a 0.95% stake in the post IPO share capital of
Jupiter, which at the IPO price will be worth AUD 7,409,966.
Andrew Bell, Chairman of Red Rock comments: "The
oversubscription of the Jupiter IPO this week completes the
multi-year journey undertaken by Jupiter when it originally
delisted in 2014 following concerns that its transition from
exploration to production had not been adequately reflected in its
share price.
Now with several years of increasing manganese production behind
it at Tshipi in South Africa, and buoyed by strong manganese prices
and an extended track record of dividend payments, we perceive our
residual stake in Jupiter to be a key component of our cash
generative growth strategy in 2018 and beyond."
