US$3.1 million Subscription
Asiamet Resources Limited ("Asiamet" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has raised a total of approximately US$3.1 million (approximately £2.3 million), via a direct subscription by the Company's majority shareholder PT Buma International Tbk. ("BUMA"), certain members of the Board and Management team and several other investors (together, the "Subscription"). Pursuant to the Subscription, a total of 149,387,512 new common shares of US$0.01 each ("Common Shares") will be issued at a price of 1.55 pence (approximately US$0.02) per share (the "Issue Price").
Highlights of the Subscription:
· Strategic shareholder BUMA, subscribing for approximately US$1.37 million, maintaining its equity interest of 44.15% in the Company
· Certain Asiamet Directors and Management subscribing for approximately US$0.24 million; and
· Other investors subscribing for approximately US$1.49 million.
Net proceeds of the Subscription will be utilised for general working capital purposes, including to:
· Maintain the Company's projects in good standing with all Government of Indonesia regulatory requirements;
· Progress the satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent under the proposed sale of our interest in the KSK project via the sale of Indokal Limited; and
· Continue the evaluation of the most value-accretive path forward for the Beutong Project.
Darryn McClelland, Chief Executive Officer of Asiamet, commented:
"The Company remains focused on concluding the proposed sale of Indokal Limited in the short order and delivering a return of substantially all the funds from the sale to shareholders as previously outlined. The funding announced today enables the Company to maintain its projects in good standing, an important requirement under the Indokal Sale Purchase Agreement, and to advance activities towards completion of the transaction, which remains on track for completion within the previously communicated timeframe. I look forward to updating our stakeholders as we progress towards completion."

As such, and in compliance with the AIM Rules for Companies, the directors of Asiamet who are independent for the purposes of the Subscription (being Eva Armila and Bruce Sheng), having consulted with Strand Hanson, in its capacity as the Company's nominated adviser, consider that the terms of the related parties' participation in the Subscription are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
