For immediate release

 

3 July 2017

 

NYOTA MINERALS LIMITED

RESULTS OF GENERAL MEETING AND COMPANY UPDATE

 

Meeting results

 

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.13.2, the following resolutions were voted on by show of hands or poll, as indicated below, by shareholders at the General Meeting of Nyota Minerals Limited (Nyota or Company) held at 10:30am (Sydney time) on Monday 3 July 2017 (Meeting). Resolution 1 (Appointment of Mr James Patrick Normand as a Director) and Resolution 6 (Authority to issue Shares) were ultimately withdrawn from consideration at the Meeting.

 

Capitalised terms not defined in this announcement have the meaning ascribed to those terms in the notice of general meeting and accompanying explanatory memorandum dated 30 May 2017 (Notice).

 

The dominant purpose of the Meeting was to approve the restructure of the Company's balance sheet and provide for shareholder approval to enter into a long-term brokerage and adviser relationship with Peterhouse Corporate Finance Limited (Peterhouse).

 

A substantial amount of time and costs have been expended in working through the complex issues that were the subject of the Meeting and it was disappointing that the number of shareholders voting was not as high as expected.

 

The consensus of the Meeting was largely to reject the Company's capital raising plans and the issue of shares and warrants to Peterhouse and its clients as indicated below.

Note 1: While Resolution 4 was carried on a poll, it failed as it was dependent on the passing of Resolution 3 which was not carried. See below for more information.

 

In accordance with section 251AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the total number of valid proxy votes received in respect of each resolution that was put to the meeting is set out in the attached report.

 

Company update and ASX de-listing

 

The uncertainty caused by the vote at the Meeting and the lack of support for the board's activities has resulted in a situation where the board acknowledges that a strategic renewal is required.

 

Resolution 1 relating to the re-election of Mr Normand was withdrawn. Under the Australian Corporations Act, the Company is required to have at least 3 directors. Given this requirement and the fact that Mr Normand is entitled under the Company's constitution to remain in office, Mr Normand will remain on the board until another director is appointed by the board.

 

While Resolution 2 was not passed, it is the intention of the board to engage with shareholders and provide more information on the value to them and to the Company in proceeding with a consolidation of shares at a later date, subject to obtaining shareholder approval at that time.

 

The passing of Resolution 4, prima facie provides for the conversion of the £200,000 loan from Bigdish Ventures Limited to shares in the Company at a price of £0.0002. However as detailed in the Notice this Resolution 4 was dependent on the passing of Resolution 3. The board will seek legal advice on this and also liaise with Mr Aidan Bishop, Chairman of Bigdish Ventures Limited, on the loan conversion. Mr Bishop has indicated that he will continue to work with Nyota to ensure that the Company continues its work-out in a measured and orderly manner.

 

The effect of Resolutions 3 and 4 not passing means that the Company's ability to raise further capital has been curtailed in the short term. Nonetheless the Company will continue to investigate opportunities to add value to long-suffering shareholders.

 

It is noted that Resolution 10 to delist from ASX was passed and therefore the Company intends to proceed with the removal of the Company from the official list of ASX and the associated sale of small unmarketable holdings (UMPs). Shareholders will receive further information on these processes in accordance with the following indicative timetable. The date for de-listing is still to be agreed with ASX, but will be no earlier than 3 August 2017.
