MEDIA RELEASE 11 August 1999
AdultShop.com Announces…
Change in Name and Status:
Effective 6 August 1999, the Company’s name of Western Minerals NL has changed to AdultShop.com Limited. Also effective from that date is the change in status from a no liability company to a limited liability company. The new Australian Stock Exchange company code is ASC. The name change was approved by shareholders on 18 June 1999. The new name is a readily recognisable symbol of the Company’s business activity of the sale of adult products on the Internet, as well as the planned acquisition of the Barbarellas retail chain of adult shops and the adult telephone services business.
Proposed Capital Raising:
The Company proposes to issue options to shareholders on an entitlement basis of four options for every five shares held. The options will be issued at a price of five cents each. Each option will entitle the holder to subscribe for one ordinary share at a price of seventy cents each on or before 31 December 2001 and at a price of eighty cents each between 1 January 2002 and 31 January 2003.
The proposed issue will be non-renounceable and is subject to shareholder approval of the Barbarellas acquisition. Based on the current issued capital of 189,143,156 shares and the proposed issue of 15,000,000 shares for the Barbarellas acquisition, approximately 163,314,525 options will be issued to raise approximately $8,165,726. This calculation ignores the effect of the exercise, if any, of the existing 20 million June 2004 options.
If the June 2004 options are exercised before the book’s closing date, an additional $800,000 will be raised from the issue of an additional sixteen million new options under the entitlement issue but also $4,000,000 will be raised from the actual exercise of the June 2004 options. In that case, the overall effect of the entitlement issue of options may result in a maximum of $12,965,726 being raised.
It is anticipated that a prospectus for the issue of these options will be prepared and despatched to shareholders in October 1999. Although no underwriting arrangements have been entered into at this stage, the Company proposes to have the issue underwritten in full. A timetable for the option issue will be prepared and issued in due course.
The funds raised from the issue of the options will be used partially as consideration for the Barbarellas acquisition. The balance of the funds will be used for expansion and working capital purposes for the retail chain and the phone services business and also to fund other future business acquisitions. The Company is currently considering a number of new business opportunities and has commenced preliminary negotiations. Further details will be announced when binding arrangements are concluded.
