CHATHAM PROVIDES FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE SHARE

PURCHASE PLAN OFFER TO EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS



WELLINGTON New Zealand – Chatham Rock Phosphate Limited (TSXV: “NZP”, NZX: 3GRE

Frankfurt Bourse “CRP” or the “Company”) advised on June 28, 2024 that the submission window for

subscriptions in its non-brokered share private placement had closed that day.


On the same day the Company announced that a Share Purchase Plan offer would be made to all our

shareholders in the jurisdictions where such an offering is lawfully permitted. This is primarily in New

Zealand.


It is intended that the form of the offer in New Zealand be a share purchase plan whereby eligible

shareholders, regardless of the size of their existing shareholding, are offered the opportunity to apply

for a minimum of 5,000 Shares and up to 100,000 Shares. The offer price per Share is CA$0.08

(NZ$0.10).


Record Date and Timetable for New Zealand Investors


New Zealand resident shareholders who hold shares of the Company as at 5pm on July 5, 2024 (the

“Record Date”) are eligible to participate in the share purchase plan offer. This differs from the

previously announced record date of 27 June, which is the record date applicable to existing Canadian

shareholders because the offer is being made to them pursuant to different exemptions from the

prospectus requirements under Canadian securities regulations.


The timetable for the share purchase plan is as follows:


Event Date (NZ)

Record Date (5pm) Friday 5 July, 2024

The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised in the offering as follows:


• Continuing the fast tracking the development of the Korella North mine, the latter presently

anticipated to be in production in Q4, 2024

• Completion of the permitting process for the Avenir Makatea onshore phosphate project in

French Polynesia with expected operating cash flows in 2027



• General working capital


It is anticipated that operating cash flows from the Korella North mine will, during 2024 and 2025,

provide working capital while also financing the development of our Korella South mine and the

reapplication for a Marine Consent (environmental permit) for our Chatham Rise project.


Completion of the offering is subject to receipt of the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All

securities issued pursuant to the offering in Canada will be subject to a four month and one day hold

period from the date of issuance of the Shares in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
