CORPORATE
On 24 October 2016, the Company announced the appointment of Mr John Borshoff as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director and the establishment of a strategic relationship with an affiliate of the Sprott Group ("Sprott"). Concurrently, an affiliate of Sprott will be making an initial A$1.42M investment to recapitalise DYL and support the Company's future growth strategy, anchored by its flagship Namibian assets. A strategic review of the uranium sector will be undertaken to evaluate growth opportunities in addition to determining the priority focus for the Company's current projects.
The Board expressed its gratitude to the outgoing Managing Director, Mr Greg Cochran, for his efforts over the past 5 years.
Exploration Capital Partners 2014 Limited Partnership ("ECP"), an affiliate of Sprott, has agreed to subscribe to a private placement of 15% of the issued capital of DYL for gross proceeds of A$1,415,253.85. ECP will be issued 321,648,376 fully paid ordinary shares ("Shares") at A$0.0044 per Share, which price was calculated by reference to a discount to the volume weighted average share price ("Placement"). In being issued the Shares, Sprott will become the Company's largest shareholder and will have the right to nominate a Non-executive Director to the board so long as its ownership remains above 10% and a second Non-executive Director should its shareholding exceed 25%.
The Placement is expected to settle on or about 28 October 2016.
It is the intention of the Company and Sprott to develop a strategic relationship and, subject to ASX granting a waiver to Listing Rule 6.18, the Company will also grant Sprott a top up right to allow Sprott to maintain its equity position in DYL. The top up right will cease if Sprott's holding in DYL falls below 10%.
Should Sprott's shareholding exceed 25%, it may request the Company to seek a listing on the TSX-Venture Exchange.
