Proposed Options Entitlement Offer

Highlights

§  Proposed Entitlement Offer of one (1) new 3-year option exercisable at 6
cents ("New Option"), at an issue price of 0.025 cents each, for each existing
10 cents ASX listed option (ASX:FMEO) held at the record date

§  Allows eligible FMEO option holders to continue to participate in the
ongoing development of the Company

Future Metals NL ("Future Metals" or the "Company", ASX | AIM: FME), is
pleased to announce that it intends to offer eligible holders of existing FMEO
ASX listed options ("FMEO") a non-renounceable Entitlement Offer to subscribe
for 1 New Option for every 1 FMEO Option held at an issue price of 0.025 cents
per New Option, raising a nominal A$40,000 (before costs) ("Entitlement
Offer").

The existing Listed Options have an exercise price of A$0.10 each and are
scheduled to expire on 11 June 2024. Each New Option will be exercisable at a
price of A$0.06 per share and expire 3 years from their date of issue. The
Company intends to seek shareholder approval at its upcoming general meeting
to be held in June 2024, formal notice of which will be sent in due course
("General Meeting").

The Company intends to apply for the quotation solely on the ASX of the New
Options to be issued under the Entitlement Offer. The New Options will
therefore not be admitted to trading on AIM.

The Company will issue a prospectus ("Prospectus") in relation to the issue of
the New Options before shareholder approval is sought at the upcoming General
Meeting.

Eligible option holders should consider the Prospectus in deciding whether or
not to acquire securities under the Entitlement Offer and will need to
complete their personalised entitlement and acceptance form that will
accompany the Prospectus.

The Company advises that, subject to shareholder approval, the eligible
Directors intend to take up any entitlements available to them under the
Entitlement Offer.

Planned Underwriting

The Company has engaged CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd ("CPS") to act as
underwriter for the full Entitlement Offer ("Underwritten Amount"), being 100%
of the funds to be raised under the Entitlement Offer based on the number of
FMEO Options on issue at the date of the Prospectus.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement with CPS, the Company has agreed to pay
CPS a 6% fee on the gross proceeds raised under the Entitlement Offer.

 

*All amounts are in Australian currency unless otherwise indicated.
