UPDATE ON ACQUISITION OF EMMERSON RESOURCES AND AUSTRALIAN STOCK EXCHANGE (ASX) LISTING

 

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised words and terms contained in this announcement shall bear the same meanings ascribed thereto in the announcement published by Pan African on 9   March 2026.

 

Pan African is pleased to provide shareholders with an update regarding the acquisition of Emmerson Resources Limited (Emmerson) (via its wholly owned subsidiary Tennant Consolidated Mining Group Pty Ltd), and the ASX listing. This follows the announcements published by the Group on 9 March 2026, 8 May 2026 and 11 June 2026 relating to the proposed acquisition of 100% of the issued shares in Emmerson by way of an Australian Court approved scheme of arrangement (Scheme) in accordance with Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act).

 

The Scheme Resolution, as required in accordance with the Corporations Act to approve the Scheme, was passed by the requisite majorities of Emmerson shareholders on 15 June 2026. Subsequent to the Emmerson shareholders approving the Scheme Resolution, the Supreme Court of Western Australia (Court) made orders approving the Scheme at the second court hearing held on 19 June 2026. A copy of the Court's orders has been lodged by Emmerson with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission earlier today, with the Scheme now being wholly unconditional and legally effective.

 

Furthermore, Pan African has been admitted to the official list of the ASX as a foreign exempt listing today and granted official quotation for the PAR CDIs under the ASX code "PAF", with quotation of the PAR CDIs to commence on 23 June 2026 (on a deferred settlement basis), with normal settlement trading commencing from 2 July 2026, following the issue of the PAR CDIs as settlement of the Scheme Consideration. As part of the ASX listing process, a pre-quotation statement and related documents including a copy of the Scheme Booklet, will be released on the ASX platform today and can be accessed under Pan African's profile using the "PAF" share code through the following link https://www.asx.com.au/markets/trade-our-cash-market/historical-announcements.

 

The Scheme which is now legally effective will be implemented in accordance with the following indicative timetable:

 

 

Pan African's shares will continue to trade, as a dual primary issuer, on the London Stock Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange following the ASX listing.
