(MENAFN- ProactiveInvestors)

BrazIron Limited (ASX:BZL) will look to invest in a Chinese silicon metal producer in a reverse takeover that would deliver 55% ownership of BrazIron to the Chinese owners.

BrazIron will issue shares equating to 55% of the enlarged Group in exchange for 20% of Global’s silicon business and associated assets within China.

BrazIron shareholders could gain dividends from the Global company if performance milestones relate to significant dividend distributions being paid to BrazIron of at least $8 million and possibly in excess of $42 million in total are made.

After all conditions are met Global would hold 75% of the BrazIron’s shares.

Global employs over 700 people and sells silicon products to customers such as Dow Corning Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. and Wacker Chemie AG as well as supplying domestic Chinese markets.

Global is a 100% privately owned company that owns and operates two silica smelting complexes in China through its subsidiary companies located in Hubei and Gansu Provinces.

Completion of the transaction and agreement is subject to various conditions precedent including that shareholders of BrazIron approving the deal.
