RNS Number : 9756M 88 Energy Limited 16 June 2025
16 June 2025
88 Energy Limited
Small Holding Share Sale Facility
88 Energy Limited (ASX: 88E) ("88 Energy" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that it has established a Small Holding Sale Facility (Facility) for
holders of "Less than Marketable Parcels" of the Company's shares.
The Company is providing the Facility to allow smaller shareholders the
opportunity to sell their shares without having to use a broker or pay
brokerage fees.
The Company values all of its shareholders; however, it incurs significant
administration costs maintaining such a large number of Less than Marketable
Parcels. By facilitating this sale, the Company hopes to significantly reduce
the administrative costs associated with maintaining a large number of very
small holdings.
The ASX Listing Rules define a Less than Marketable Parcel as those with a
market value of less than A$500. As at 5:00pm (AWST) on 13 June 2025 (Facility
Record Date), a Less than Marketable Parcel of shares is a holding comprised
of 21,739 or fewer shares, based on the Company's closing share price of
$0.023 on the Facility Record Date.
The Company has approximately 12,113 shareholders of which approximately 8,329
hold a Less than Marketable Parcel (Minority Members). These shareholders in
aggregate represent approximately 5.64% of all issued shares.
If Minority Members wish to sell their shares through this facility, they do
not have to take any action. If Minority Members do not wish to sell their
shares through this facility, they must complete and return the Notice of
Retention Form to the Company's share registry, Computershare by 5.00pm (AWST)
on 30 July 2025.
The Facility is not available to those shareholders who are residents of the
United Kingdom, and it is not available to persons who hold an interest in the
Company's shares via depositary interests in CREST.
A copy of the letter and the Notice of Retention that is currently being
prepared by the Company will be released to ASX and mailed to eligible
Minority Members by no later than 18 June 2025. If you have any queries,
please contact Computershare on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) and +613 9415
4000 (outside Australia) between the hours of 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM (AEST) Monday
to Friday.
Euroz Hartleys Limited has been appointed as broker for shares sold under the
Facility. Following the disposal of Less than Marketable Parcel shares, the
cash proceeds of each sale shall be forwarded to Minority Members whose shares
have been sold as soon as possible. The Company will pay the transaction costs
of shareholders who use the Facility to sell their shares, excluding tax
consequences from the sale which remain the shareholder's responsibility.
