Update on the sale of the Botswana operations
Firestone Diamonds plc, the AIM-quoted diamond development
company, announces that, at the request of Tango Mining Limited
("Tango Mining"), it has agreed to extend the date by when all
conditions for the disposal of the Company's Botswana operations to
Tango (the "Disposal") must be satisfied. This extension is to
enable Tango Mining to finalise its funding.
As announced on 9 July 2015, the Company entered into a
conditional sale agreement ("CSA") with Tango Mining for the
Disposal, for a total consideration of US$8.0 million and, as
announced on 13 October 2015 and 6 April 2016, certain terms of the
CSA were amended by the amendment letters. Pursuant to a further
amendment of the CSA, all conditions of the CSA must now be
satisfied by no later than 9 September 2016 (the "Revised Drop Dead
Date").
All other material terms of the amended CSA remain the same and
accordingly, if the conditions of the CSA are not satisfied or
waived by the Revised Drop Dead Date, the Disposal will not
complete.
