NOT AN OFFER
This announcement is for information purposes only and is not a prospectus,
product disclosure statement or any other offering document under Australian
law or the law of any other jurisdiction (and will not be lodged with the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission ("ASIC") or any foreign
regulator). The information does not and will not constitute or form part of
an offer, invitation, solicitation or recommendation in relation to the
subscription, purchase or sale of securities in any jurisdiction and neither
this announcement nor anything in it shall form any part of any contract for
the acquisition of Future Metals' securities. The distribution of this
announcement in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and
you should observe any such restrictions.
The total consideration under the Entitlement Offer shall be less than, and
therefore cannot exceed, €8 million (or an equivalent pounds sterling
amount) in aggregate and so, in accordance with Section 85 and Schedule 11A of
the United Kingdom's Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended
(FSMA), the Entitlement Offer does not require the issue of a prospectus in
the United Kingdom for the purposes of the United Kingdom's Prospectus
Regulation Rules (PRR). The Entitlement Offer does not constitute an offer to
the public requiring an approved prospectus under section 85 of FSMA and
accordingly, neither this announcement, nor the Offer Booklet, shall
constitute a prospectus for the purposes of the PRR. This announcement and the
Entitlement Offer booklet have not been, and neither will be, reviewed or
approved by the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority pursuant to
sections 85 of FSMA, the London Stock Exchange or any other authority or
regulatory body in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, neither this announcement
nor the Entitlement Offer booklet contain the extent of the information and
disclosures that would typically be included in a UK prospectus.
