ASX Limited Electronic lodgement Subscription Agreements deposit update

Xstate Resources Limited provides the following update in relation to the deposit to be received for the subscription of $25 million of shares in the company by overseas investors, as advised to the market on 28 December 2016.

A deposit of 5% of the amount to be raised, being A$1,250,000, was to be paid by the subscribers.

Xstate is in possession of a copy of a signed overseas transfer form signed by Maybank for the transfer of A$1,250,000 to Xstate's Australian bank account.

Xstate's corporate advisors to this transaction, Sanston Securities, have advised that the completed offshore funds transfer form must be approved by the Indonesian Government, as with all large overseas transfers.

The Board have been advised this is normal practice, however it is not possible to confirm when such approval will be granted for the transfer.

The investors and Sanston Securities are attempting to expedite this process.

At this stage Xstate has no reason to believe the deposit will not be received, and will advise the market once it is received.
