Alabama receives takeover offer from U.S. microcap firm

Mr. Donald Baxter reports

ALABAMA GRAPHITE RECEIVES UNSOLICITED INDICATIVE PROPOSAL FOR ACQUISITION; BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPOINTS SPECIAL COMMITTEE

Alabama Graphite Corp. has appointed a special, independent committee, led by and comprising Dr. Gareth P. Hatch, CEng, FIMMM, FIET -- an independent director of the company -- to carefully review and consider an unsolicited, non-binding proposal that was received from a United States-based, arm's-length, public, microcap, prerevenue, junior mining development company relating to a potential offer for all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the company. Pursuant to the terms of a confidentiality agreement and the interested party's separate request, the company is withholding the name of the interested party. According to publicly available records, the interested party has less than $7-million (U.S.) in unrestricted cash and a market capitalization of approximately $35-million (U.S.).

The interested party's indicative offer was conditional and non-binding. Pursuant to this offer, it was proposed that the shareholders of Alabama Graphite would receive no cash and would receive, in exchange for each common share of the company, one-tenth (0.10) of one common share of the interested party. In other words, under the terms of the proposal, 10 Alabama Graphite shares would be exchanged for one common share of the interested party. If implemented, the shareholders of Alabama Graphite would become minority shareholders of the interested party.

The special committee, with the assistance of advisers, and the full co-operation and support of the company's staff, including the rest of the board of directors, will carefully review and consider the proposal by the interested party. While being respectful and prudent in regard to the company's financial resources, the special committee will, among other things: investigate the merit of the proposal; determine whether the offer fairly values the company on an en bloc basis; investigate whether the all-stock consideration being offered is speculative in nature; consider whether it is reasonable to expect that the offer could be materially improved through negotiation; determine whether the company is instead ready for an auction process or whether the company's present circumstances and timing would only result in an opportunistic, strong-armed and/or coercive offer as compared with what could reasonably be expected to be achieved once some additional progress and milestones are accomplished. In doing so, the special committee and the board of directors are determined to make decisions and take actions that are in the best interests of the company taking into account the interests of the company's security holders and other significant stakeholders.

Alabama Graphite did not initiate, nor has it encouraged, any change of control conversations with the interested party. In addition, to the company's knowledge, no shareholder of the company has agreed to a lock-up or support agreement with the interested party. There is no assurance that the interested party will actually proceed with making a formal offer and there is no assurance at this time that the special committee and/or the board of directors would support any such offer. There is also no assurance that the special committee will recommend that an auction process be commenced and it is quite possible that the board of directors will eventually determine that it is in the best interests of the company at this time to continue to pursue its goals and business plans with no concurrent supplementary search for a change of control transaction in the near term.
