EcoGraf Limited: Lodgement of Innogy Limited IPO Prospectus

15.03.2023  |  DGAP
Diversified battery anode materials company EcoGraf Ltd. (EcoGraf or the Company) (ASX: EGR; FSE:FMK; OTCQX: ECGFF) is pleased to advise that its battery cathode minerals subsidiary, Innogy Limited (Innogy), has lodged a prospectus for an initial public offering (IPO).

Highlights

  • Prospectus lodged for an initial public offer to raise a minimum of $5 million and a maximum of $8 million, including a Priority Offer to Eligible EcoGraf Shareholders
  • Innogy is the largest nickel exploration tenement holder in Tanzania, encompassing underexplored provinces prospective for sulphide nickel along with cobalt and lithium
  • EcoGraf to retain cornerstone Innogy shareholding
  • Innogy to benefit from EcoGraf's extensive Tanzanian operating experience and established relationships with electric vehicle and lithium-ion battery manufacturers
  • Canaccord Genuity appointed as Lead Manager to the Offer

EcoGraf plans to unlock shareholder value through the demerger, initial public offering and ASX listing of its wholly owned battery cathode minerals subsidiary, Innogy (proposed ASX code: IOG) (Innogy). Innogy's strategy is to explore for key battery cathode minerals, with a focus on nickel.

Utilising EcoGraf's extensive historical data base and experience and knowledge of Tanzania, Innogy has established itself as the largest nickel exploration tenement holder in the country with an exploration package of over 5,300 km2 of ground (comprising 2,300 km2 of granted tenure and 3,000 km2 of pending tenure) prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation, along with lithium, cobalt and gold.

Tanzania is highly prospective for nickel mineralisation, along with lithium and cobalt, and at the same time is significantly underexplored relative to other nickel and lithium provinces around the world. This coincides with a very strong demand and price outlook for nickel along with lithium as a critical battery mineral for the rapidly expanding Electric Vehicle Industry.

This demerger and IPO will provide the means not available in EcoGraf to unlock the potential value of this nickel exploration package, whilst providing Eligible EcoGraf Shareholders with the opportunity to participate directly through the Priority Offer.

Under the IPO, Innogy is undertaking an offer of 25,000,000 fully paid ordinary (FPO) shares in the capital of Innogy (Innogy Shares) to raise a minimum of $5 million and up to 40,000,000 FPO shares to raise a maximum of $8 million at an offer price of $0.20 per Innogy Share (Offer). Innogy lodged a prospectus for the Offer with ASIC on 15 March 2023 (Prospectus).

The Offer comprises of a priority offer to Eligible EcoGraf Shareholders (Priority Offer) and a general offer, under which Innogy Shares not allocated to Eligible EcoGraf Shareholders under the Priority Offer can be allocated to any other applicant (General Offer).

EcoGraf Managing Director, Andrew Spinks said, "The Priority Offer is a great opportunity for existing EcoGraf shareholders to capitalise on our nickel, lithium and gold exploration assets. We believe a new ASX listed company provides the best structure to fund and to maximise the value of these mineral assets along with an experienced management team fully focussed on cathode battery minerals. EcoGraf will remain a major shareholder in Innogy and shareholders in both companies will enjoy the benefits of these assets. New subscribers to the Offer will be getting exposure to our very exciting nickel assets in Tanzania, which are also prospective for lithium, cobalt and gold, as we aim to capitalise on what is a very strong nickel market outlook."

An electronic copy of the Innogy IPO Prospectus can be accessed from www.innogylimited.com.au.

The Priority Offer is being made to all eligible shareholders of EcoGraf who hold shares on the record date, Wednesday, 22 March 2023 (Record Date), whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand or such other jurisdiction as the Innogy Directors consider reasonable to make the Priority Offer and issue Innogy Shares (Eligible EcoGraf Shareholders). The Offer is not underwritten.
