Bhushan this morning agreed to take a placement of 1.75 million shares at 32c per share to raise $560,000. The placement brings Bhushan’s holding in Bowen to 19.91%.
In addition, the two companies have entered into a subscription agreement for shares totalling $32 million.
Once approved by shareholders, 50 million shares at 32c and 12.5 million options at 20c over five years will be issued to raise $16 million.
The same deal for the remaining $16 million will apply but issued upon request in $4 million tranches.
