資本投資公司。六、

紐約-2024年6月18日-撒哈拉以南地區黃金開採業的老牌金礦公司納米布礦業(“納米布”或“公司”)與納斯達克上市的特殊目的收購公司軒尼詩資本投資公司VI(納斯達克股票代碼：HCVI)(“納斯達克”)訂立了最終的業務合併協議(“業務合併協議”)。建議的業務合併(“建議的業務合併”)預計於2024年第四季度完成(“結束”)，取決於常規的結束條件，包括監管機構和股東的批准。合併後的上市公司(“PUBCO”) 預計將命名為“Nanb Minerals”，其普通股和認股權證將分別在納斯達克上市，新的股票代碼為“NAMM”和“NAMMW”，有待其上市申請的批准。

擬議的業務合併 對價約5,000萬股pubco普通股對納米布的估值為5億美元，另外還有多達3,000萬股pubco普通股與完成運營里程碑有關，包括Mazowe和Redwing礦的商業生產 。假設HCVI的公眾股東沒有進一步贖回，擬議的業務合併預計將為納米布帶來約9,100萬美元的淨收益，以及預計在交易完成前與投資者簽署的一項或多項融資協議帶來的約6,000萬美元的額外資金。作為擬議的業務合併的結果，納米布預計將受益於持續的運營效率和現金流產生 其生產HOW礦山和擴大納米布的多資產增長路徑。擬議的業務合併也代表着 迄今為止非洲最大的DeSPAC。納米布現有的管理團隊由首席執行官易卜拉希馬·塔爾領導，將在關閉後繼續領導業務。

納米布目前的生產資產How 礦是位於津巴布韋布拉瓦約附近的一座成熟的高品位地下金礦。How礦目前產生現金流 ，同時擁有強勁的生產歷史，是同業中報告的生產成本最低的企業之一。How 礦山一直在預算範圍內運營，並保持着額外的已確定地下資源，這可能有助於延長其礦山壽命。

納米布也有一條明確的途徑在非洲作為一家多資產生產商運營，目前正在制定增長計劃，以重啟該公司以前生產的Mazowe和Redwing金礦，以及在剛果民主共和國(DRC)的開發潛力，以解鎖該地區的電池金屬。截至 日期，剛果民主共和國已批准的13個勘探許可證的工作已經開始，並已鑽出六個初步鑽孔，以識別銅和鈷的潛力。

納米布首席執行官易卜拉希馬·塔爾評論説： 今天對納米布來説是一個重要的日子，也是一個令人興奮的里程碑。與HCVI的這一業務組合將使我們能夠 繼續發展我們的業務，同時幫助我們實現我們礦業資產組合的全部潛力。納米布致力於創造一個安全、可持續和有利可圖的採礦作業環境，以支持我們服務的當地社區。這筆交易為我們在HCVI提供了一個合作伙伴，與我們一樣關注可持續增長，也分享了我們作為非洲多資產生產商重返非洲的目標。我們相信，我們現有的管理團隊能夠為我們的股東釋放巨大的價值，我們期待着與HCVI 團隊密切合作，將這些願望變為現實。“

卡地亞礦業集團董事長兼首席執行官Daniel·軒尼詩補充説：“我們非常高興地宣佈我們與納米布金礦公司的業務合併，納米布金礦公司是撒哈拉以南採礦業的老牌金礦公司。成立HCVI的目的是與一家在工業或能源過渡部門經營的老牌和有競爭力的公司合併。納米布作為一個引人注目的合作伙伴脱穎而出，因為它有貴金屬地下采礦的歷史， 未來擴張的機會，以及在其服務的社區創建安全、可持續和有利可圖的業務的使命。 我們期待着與易卜拉希馬和他的採礦業資深團隊合作，因為納米布繼續增長並創造 股東價值。“
