Base Resources Limited - Implementation of Scheme

AIM and Media Release 

2 October 2024

Implementation of Scheme

Base Resources Limited (ASX & AIM: BSE) (Base Resources) is pleased to advise that the scheme of arrangement under which EFR Australia Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Fuels Inc. (Energy Fuels)) acquired all of the issued shares in Base Resources has today been implemented.

Special Dividend

The Special Dividend of AUD 6.5 cents for each Base Resources share was paid yesterday (1 October 2024).

Scheme Consideration

Base Resources shareholders and Base Resources DI Holders (who are not Ineligible Foreign Shareholders or Electing Small Shareholders) have today received the Scheme Consideration of 0.0260 Energy Fuels shares for each Base Resources share held on the Scheme Record Date (being 6.00pm (London time) on Friday, 20 September 2024 for Base Resources DI Holders).

As soon as reasonably practicable, Energy Fuels will cause a DRS Advice to be sent to each Base Resources shareholder and Base Resources DI Holder (who is not an Ineligible Foreign Shareholder or an Electing Small Shareholder) in respect of the Energy Fuels shares representing their Scheme Consideration, which will be sent to their registered address as shown in the Base Resources Share Register or Base Resources DI Register (as applicable) as at the Scheme Record Date. Energy Fuels expects it will take between 11-20 Business Days for the DRS Advices to be received by post.

Ineligible Foreign Shareholders or Electing Small Shareholders will not receive Energy Fuels shares.  Instead, those holders will receive their pro-rata proportion of the net cash proceeds of the sale of the applicable Energy Fuels shares by the sale agent.  Further details are set out in Section 10.6 of the Scheme Booklet.
