PRAIRIE MINING LTD. (11/2017) Placing to UK Based Institutional Investors to Raise £3.2 Million for the Further Development of Prairie's Polish Coal Projects

Podstawa prawna: Prairie Mining Limited ("Prairie" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has placed 11,500,000 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 28 pence per share (the "Placing Price"), to raise approximately £3.2 million before expenses (the "Placing").

Commenting on the Placing, Prairie Mining Chief Executive Officer, Ben Stoikovich said: "We are delighted to welcome a number of high quality new UK based institutional investors onto the Company's shareholder register as both projects move into a new chapter of their development. Strong support from these institutional investors further validates Prairie's vision to become Europe's next strategic coking coal supplier through the advancement of our two Tier 1 coking coal projects in Poland."

The net proceeds from the Placing, which is in response to demand for the Company's shares from UK based institutional investors, will be used for the further development of the Company's Polish coal development projects. In particular, the Placing will enable Prairie to accelerate the development of its Debiensko Hard Coking Coal project for which the results of a positive scoping study were recently announced, including additional drilling in support of Feasibility Study work. In parallel, Prairie is also on track to complete a Bankable Feasibility Study in the second half of 2017 for its Jan Karski Mine, for which the proceeds of the Placing will be partly applied to advance pre-construction engineering works such as the provision of high voltage power supply to the mine site area, and the permitting processes.

Together with the Company's existing cash resources (A$13.1 million as at 31 December 2016), the proceeds of the Placing will help ensure that Prairie retains a strong balance sheet position as it approaches a construction decision for Jan Karski and rapidly advances Debiensko.

The Placing Shares represent the maximum permitted share issuance without triggering the requirement to produce a prospectus in the United Kingdom when taken with relevant share issues in the previous 12 months. The Placing Price represents a 12.5% discount to the last closing price of the Company's ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") of 32 pence.

Tamesis Partners LLP ("Tamesis") is acting as lead-manager in connection with the Placing together with Mirabaud Securities LLP ("Mirabaud") as co-manager (together the "Managers").

Details of the Placing

The Company has today entered into a placing agreement (the "Placing Agreement") with the Managers. Under the terms of the Placing Agreement, the Managers have conditionally placed 11,500,000 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at a price of 28 pence per share, raising gross proceeds of approximately £3.2 million before expenses.

An application has been made for admission of the Placing Shares to the standard listing segment of the Official List of the FCA ("Official List") and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange for listed securities (together, "LSE Admission"). LSE Admission is expected to take place at 8.00am on 3 April 2017 and dealings in the Placing Shares on the London Stock Exchange will commence at that time. The Placing is conditional on LSE Admission.

Following the issue of the Placing Shares, application will be made for the Placing Shares to be quoted on the ASX ("ASX Quotation") and such quotation is expected to occur on or around 6 April 2017, subject to ASX approval.

An application will also be made for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange ("WSE Admission"). WSE Admission is expected to take place within approximately two to three weeks from the date of LSE Admission.

The Placing is not conditional upon WSE Admission or ASX Quotation.

The Placing Shares, when fully paid up, will be issued on the same terms as the existing ordinary shares in the capital of Prairie and will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the existing ordinary shares, including rights to receive dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the ordinary shares after their issue.

The Company's total issued share capital following LSE Admission will consist of 163,478,969 ordinary shares with one voting right per share. The above figure of 163,478,969 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company following LSE Admission.

Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service.

The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from Mirabaud money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by Mirabaud in the course of its business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of Mirabaud;

45. the Managers and their Affiliates, acting as investors for their own accounts, may subscribe for and/or purchase Placing Shares and, in that capacity, may retain, purchase, offer to sell or otherwise deal for their own account in the Placing Shares, any other securities of the Company or other related investments in connection with the Placing or otherwise. Accordingly, references in this Announcement to the Placing Shares being offered, subscribed, acquired or otherwise dealt with should be read as including any offer to, or subscription, acquisition or dealing by, Managers and/or any of its respective Affiliates acting as an investor for its or their own account. None of the Managers or the Company intend to disclose the extent of any such investment or transaction otherwise than in accordance with any legal or regulatory obligation to do so;

46. it is aware of the obligations regarding insider dealing in the UK Criminal Justice Act 1993, the European Market Abuse Regulation (596/2014) and the UK Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and confirms that it has and will continue to comply with those obligations;

47. in order to ensure compliance with the UK Money Laundering Regulations 2007, Mirabaud (as agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars may, in its absolute discretion, require verification of its identity. Pending the provision to Mirabaud, or the Company's registrars, as applicable, of evidence of identity, definitive certificates in respect of the Placing Shares may be retained at Mirabaud's absolute discretion or, where appropriate, delivery of the Placing Shares to it in uncertificated form may be delayed at the Managers' or the Company's registrars', as the case may be, absolute discretion. If within a reasonable time after a request for verification of identity Mirabaud (for itself and as agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars have not received evidence satisfactory to them, Mirabaud and/or the Company may, at its absolute discretion, terminate its commitment in respect of the Placing, in which event the monies payable on acceptance of allotment will, if already paid, be returned without interest to the account of the drawee's bank from which they were originally debited;

48. the allocation, allotment, issue and delivery to it, or the person specified by it for registration as a holder of Placing Shares, will not give rise to a stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax liability under (or at a rate determined under) any of sections 67, 70, 93 or 96 of the UK Finance Act 1986 (depositary receipts and clearance services) and that no instrument under which it subscribes for Placing Shares (whether as principal, agent or nominee) would be subject to stamp duty or the increased rates referred to in those sections and that it, or the person specified by it for registration as a holder of Placing Shares, is not participating in the Placing as nominee or agent for any person or persons to whom the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares would give rise to such a liability;

49. where it is acquiring Placing Shares for one or more managed accounts, it is authorised in writing by each managed account: (a) to acquire the Placing Shares for each managed account; (b) to make on its behalf the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, undertakings and agreements in this Appendix and the Announcement of which it forms part; and (c) to receive on its behalf any investment letter relating to the Placing in the form provided to it by the relevant Manager;

50. the Company's ordinary shares are quoted on the ASX, admitted to the Official List and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange for listed securities and admitted to trading on the WSE, and the Company is therefore required to publish certain business and financial information in accordance with the rules and practices of these exchanges and the Placee is able to obtain or access such information or comparable information concerning any other publicly traded company without undue difficulty;

51. that its commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms set out in this announcement will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms of the Placing and that Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's conduct of the Placing; and

The acknowledgements, agreements, undertakings, representations and warranties referred to above are given to each of the Company and the Managers (for their own benefit and, where relevant, the benefit of their respective Affiliates) and any person acting on their behalf and are irrevocable.

No claim shall be made against the Company, or the Managers or their respective Affiliates or any other person acting on behalf of any of such persons by a Placee to recover any damage, cost, charge or expense which it may suffer or incur by reason of or arising from the carrying out by it of the work to be done by it pursuant to this announcement or the performance of its obligations pursuant to this announcement or otherwise in connection with the Placing.

No UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax should be payable to the extent that the Placing Shares in the form of Depository Interests are transferred into CREST to, or to the nominee of, a Placee who holds those shares beneficially (and not as agent or nominee for any other person) within the CREST system and registered in the name of such Placee or such Placee's nominee.

Any arrangements to issue or transfer the Placing Shares into a depositary receipts system or a clearance service or to hold the Placing Shares as agent or nominee of a person to whom a depositary receipt may be issued or who will hold the Placing Shares in a clearance service, or any arrangements subsequently to transfer the Placing Shares, may give rise to stamp duty and/or stamp duty reserve tax, for which neither the Company nor the Managers will be responsible and the Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax undertakes to pay such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and the Managers in the event that any of the Company and/or the Managers has incurred any such liability to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the UK by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment, except for the longstop date of 30 April 2017. The Managers shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any such changes.

This Announcement has been issued by the Company and is the sole responsibility of the Company.

Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of the Placee, acknowledges that the Managers do not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities in the Placing Agreement. Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that the Managers or any of their respective Affiliates may, at its absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares.

The rights and remedies of the Managers and the Company under these terms and conditions are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.

Each Placee may be asked to disclose in writing or orally to any of the Managers:

(a) if he is an individual, his nationality; or

(b) if he is a discretionary fund manager, the jurisdiction in which the funds are managed or owned.
