BASE RESOURCES LIMITED
Notice of change of Significant Shareholder

Base Resources Limited (ASX & AIM: BSE) (Base Resources) advises that it has today received notification from UBS Group AG that, on 6 February 2020, it and its related bodies corporate (UBS) reduced their voting power in Base Resources by 17,393,401 ordinary shares. 

Accordingly, Base Resources understands that, as at 6 February 2020, UBS had a relevant interest in 48,002,818 ordinary shares, representing 4.10% of the total Base Resources ordinary shares on issue and constituting a significant shareholding for the purposes of the AIM Rules for Companies on that date.

The decrease in UBS’s relevant interest was the net result of the acquisition and disposal of ordinary shares, and the result of the return of ordinary shares pursuant to a prime brokerage agreement, in each case, since 11 October 2019.

UBS disposed of 13,946,084 shares for an average price of A$0.249 per share between 21 October 2019 and 6 February 2020 (excluding any securities returned pursuant to a prime brokerage agreement).  It also acquired 10,494,199 shares for an average price of A$0.221 per share between 11 October 2019 and 5 February 2020.
