Excerpt Markscreener...Sydney, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Tamboran Resources Limited (ASX:TBN) (OTCMKTS:TBNNY) has received binding commitments for a non-underwritten placement to new and existing shareholders to raise up to ~$53.2 million (before costs) at $0.18 per share. The price represents a 12.2 per cent discount to the closing price on Thursday, 22 June 2023 and 13.0 per cent discount to the 10-day VWAP for the period ending 22 June 2023.
In conjunction with the placement, Helmerich & Payne (NYSE:HP) and Tamboran have signed a binding Heads of Agreement (HOA) for a Convertible Note (CN) of ~US$9 million (~$13.2 million), which is subject to shareholder approval. The CN has a 5-year term and 5.5% interest rate (paidin-kind), with a conversion floor of $0.21 per share and ceiling of $0.30 per share.
The Company intends to launch a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) allowing existing shareholders to participate on the same terms as the placement at $0.18 per share of up ~$5 million.
The funds from the Placement, CN and SPP (together, the Capital Raise) will support Tamboran's Beetaloo Basin drilling activity, fully satisfy the farm-in commitments associated with the Origin transaction in 2022 (securing a 38.75% interest in EPs 76, 98 and 117) and allow Tamboran to book initial 2C gas resources over the Shenandoah South area.
The placement was supported by a ~$14.7 million investment from Tamboran's largest shareholder, Mr Bryan Sheffield (Sheffield).
At the completion of the Capital Raise, Tamboran will be fully funded to undertake clean-up activities at the Amungee 2H (A2H) well and drill the Shenandoah South 1H (SS1H) and Amungee 3H (A3H) wells in EP 117 and 98, respectively.
