4. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear fellow shareholder,
As announced on 14 September 2012, the Company is undertaking a nonrenounceable, fully underwritten entitlement issue to raise up to approximately $1,724,729 (before costs) ( Offer ). The Offer is being made in conjunction with a 2 tranche placement, such that the total amount raised will be approximately $3.025 million. The Offer allows you the right to subscribe for 1 Share for every 2 you hold as at 5.00pm (WST) on 4 October 2012, at an issue price of $0.04 per Share, together with 1 free attaching option for every 2 Shares issued, exercisable at $0.08 per New Option, on or before 31 December 2014.
The Company was admitted to the ASX on 19 April 2011 as a company, focussed on the acquisition of exploration assets with large scale exploration and development potential, to provide maximum leverage for investors. This was reflected in the acquisition of the Company’s Citadel Project and its subsequent exploration activities to date.
Successful completion of the capital raising is essential to the Company’s ability to continue with further drilling and exploration efforts on the Company’s 100% owned Citadel Project, including Phase 2 of its 2012 Exploration Programme.
Phase 2 of the Company’s 2012 Exploration Programme has two main objectives, the first being to undertake follow-up exploration at its Corker prospect, where further geophysical surveys and drilling will be designed to test for thicker massive sulphides, with one to several metres potentially being economic due to the high dollar value of the Corker poly-metallic mineralisation. The second objective of the Phase 2 programme is to strive to achieve additional greenfields discoveries via drill testing of several previously undrilled high quality targets within 2 km of the Company’s Magnum and Corker prospects. The main components planned for the Phase 2 Exploration Programme are approximately 3,500 metres of diamond drilling and several ground geophysical surveys.
I trust that this letter provides you with some further background and context to the rationale for this capital raising and its terms. I can assure you that your Board has and will continue to make decisions in the relevant circumstances that we believe to be in the best interests of our stakeholders.
The Offer closes at 5.00pm (WST) on 22 October 2012. For information on completing your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, please refer to Section 5.4 of this Prospectus and the instructions sections on the form.
You are also offered the opportunity to apply for any Shortfall Shares (in addition to your Entitlement) in the event the Offer is not fully subscribed, although it is in the discretion of the Underwriters as to whether the Shortfall Shares are issued. Details of how to participate in the Shortfall Offer are set out in Section 5.9 below.
You should carefully read this Prospectus in its entirety. If you have any doubts or questions, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other independent professional advisor to evaluate whether or not to participate.
Yours sincerely

7. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES
7.1 Rights and Liabilities attaching to Shares
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy or attorney to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.
(b) Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have a fraction of a vote for each partly paid Share. The fraction must be equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c)
Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as
19
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.
(d)
Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, then on a distribution of assets to Shareholders, Shares classified by ASX as restricted securities at the time of the commencement of the winding up shall rank in priority after all other Shares.
Subject to the rights of Shareholders (if any) entitled to Shares with special rights in a winding up, all monies and property that are to be distributed among Shareholders on a winding up, shall be distributed in proportion to the Shares held by them respectively, irrespective of the amount paid-up or credited as paid up on the Shares.
(e)
Shareholder liability
As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) Transfer of Shares
Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Future increase in capital
The allotment and issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of Securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.
(h) Variation of rights
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of
20
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. Any variation shall be subject to Sections 246B to 246E of the Corporations Act.
(i) Alteration of constitution
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
7.2 Rights and Liabilities attaching to New Options
The New Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus entitle the holder to subscribe for Shares on the following terms and conditions:
-
(a) The New Options are exercisable at a price of 8 cents ($0.08) each at any time from the date of grant up to 31st December 2014. Each New Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share.
-
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), if:
-
(i) a takeover bid within the meaning of the Corporations Act is made for the Shares in the Company and the bidder becomes entitled to compulsorily acquire all of the Shares, any New Options not exercised by the end of the bid period shall lapse; or
-
(ii) a court orders a meeting to be held in relation to a proposed scheme of arrangement in relation to the Company the effect of which may be that a person will have a relevant interest in at least 90% of the Company’s Shares, any New Options not exercised during the period which is 7 days of the court order shall lapse.
-
(c) The holder may exercise any part of the New Options without prejudice to the holder’s ability to subsequently exercise any remaining New Options.
-
(d) All Shares issued upon exercise of the New Options will rank equally in all respects with the then issued Shares, and the Company will, within 7 days, apply for official quotation by the ASX of all Shares issued upon the exercise of the New Options.
-
(e) There are no participating rights or entitlements conferred on the New Options and the holder will not be entitled to participate with respect to the New Options in new issues offered to shareholders of the Company during their currency without exercising the New Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the relevant record date will be at least seven Business Days after the relevant issue is announced and the holder is notified at that time. This will give the holder the opportunity to exercise the New Options prior to the date for determining entitlements and to participate in any such issue as a shareholder.
(f) In the event of any reorganisation of capital of the Company prior to
21
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
the expiry date for exercise of the New Options, the number of New Options to which the holder is entitled or the exercise price of the New Options or both shall be changed to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of reorganisation.
(g) The number of New Options held will appear on an option holder statement which will be accompanied by a Notice of Exercise of New Options that is to be completed when exercising New Options as follows:
Notice of Exercise of Options
To the Directors of Antipa Minerals Limited (the Company ),
I, ……………………………………………………………………………………...
of …………………………………………………………………………………… being the registered holder of options in the capital of the Company hereby exercise …………………… such options to subscribe for ordinary shares and enclose application monies payable of 8 cents per option exercised.
I authorise you to register me as the holder of the shares to be allotted to me and agree to accept such shares subject to the constitution of the Company.
Dated the day of 20__
Signed by the holder of the Options ……………………………………….
-
(h) The New Options are exercised by completing the Notice of Exercise of New Options form (substantially similar to the one above) and forwarding it to the Company with the exercise monies payable to the Company. The Company shall within seven days after the receipt of such Notice, issue Shares in respect of the New Options exercised and dispatch a shareholder statement to the holder.
-
(i) The Company will advise holders at least 20 Business Days before the impending expiry of their New Options and will advise the due date for payment, the amount of money payable on exercise, the consequences of non-payment and such other details as the Listing Rules then prescribe, so as to enable holders to determine whether or not to exercise their New Options.
-
(j) Application will be made by the Company for the listing of the New Options. The New Options are freely transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.
-
(k) The New Options do not confer the right to a change in exercise price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the New Option can be exercised.
22
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
8. RISK FACTORS
8.1 Introduction
-
(a) The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
-
(b) There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this Section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Securities.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
8.2 Company specific
(a) Future Funding
There is likely to be a requirement in the future for the Company to raise additional funding. The Company’s ability to raise capital or other funding is not able to be forecast at this time. If the Company is unable to raise the required funds in the future it may not be able to continue to carry on its business and you may lose your investment.
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the capital raising.
Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be.
(b) Key People
The responsibility of overseeing the Company’s operations and strategic management depends substantially on its Directors and key personnel. There can be no assurance that there will not be a detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these persons ceases their employment or involvement with the Company.
(c) Dilution
At the conclusion of the Offer (assuming that Tranche 2 of the Placement has been completed), there will be up to an additional 43,809,116 Options on issue pursuant to the grant of Options under the Placement and Offer and the 6,000,000 Options to be issued to the Underwriters, which, if exercised, will be converted into fully paid
23
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
ordinary Shares thereby causing the shareholdings of Shareholders to be diluted by up to 22.1%. Additionally, future equity offerings by the Company may dilute the percentage ownership of the Company by existing Shareholders. In certain circumstances, securities issued by the Company in the future may have rights, preferences or privileges attached to them that are senior to or otherwise adversely affect those attached to the Shares.
(d)
Resource Estimates
Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.
(e) Title
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that the current or future tenements will be approved or maintained. Renewal of the term of a granted tenement is at the discretion of the relevant government authority. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure or work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of the areas comprising the Company’s projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.
(f)
Native Title and Access Risk
Exploration and mining activities can be affected by land claim compensation considerations. The Company is subject to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). It is possible that aboriginal sacred sites found within Tenements held by the Company may preclude exploration and mining activities and the Company may also experience delays with respect to obtaining permission from the traditional owners to explore and extract resources. The Company must also comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements and access agreements which require heritage survey work to be undertaken ahead of the commencement of exploration and mining activities.
(g) Exploration Risks
No assurance can be given that exploration will be successful or that a commercial mining operation will eventuate.
The ultimate success and financial viability of the Company depends on the discovery and delineation of economically recoverable ore reserves, design and construction of efficient mining and processing facilities, and competent operational and managerial performance.
There is no assurance that exploration and development of the mineral interests held by the Company (which are all at an exploration stage),
24
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
or any other projects that may be acquired by the Company in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be profitably exploited.
Development of a commercial mining operation is also dependent on the Company's ability to obtain necessary titles and governmental and other regulatory approvals.
(h) Exploration Costs
The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.
8.3 Mining Industry specific
(a) Metal Market Conditions
The Company's ability to benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control. The world market for minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly.
(b) Environmental Risks
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations.
25
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Company’s operations more expensive.
Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to anticipated exploration programmes or mining activities.
(c) Failure to satisfy Expenditure Commitments
Interests in tenements in Western Australia are governed by the Mining acts and regulations that are current in Western Australia and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in the Tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.
8.4 General risks
(a) Economic
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
(b) Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
-
(iii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vi) terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(c) Additional requirements for capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to
26
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.
8.5 Speculative investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus
Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
27
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
9.1 Litigation
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.
9.2
Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.
This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
-

9.4 Underwriting Agreements

(a) Veritas Securities Limited (ACN 117 124 535), a licensed securities dealer (AFSL 297043);
(b) Triple C Consulting Pty Ltd (ACN 141 412 106), a licensed securities dealer (AFSL 346282); and

- (c) Taylor Collison Limited (ACN 008 172 450), a licensed securities dealer (AFSL 247083).
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements, the Underwriters have agreed to each underwrite one third of the Offer, such that the Offer will be fully underwritten. None of the Underwriters are associates of any other Underwriter. The Underwriters also agreed to manage and co-ordinate the Placement and the Offer on a joint, exclusive basis with each other Underwriter.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements, the Company has agreed to pay the Underwriters (following completion of the Placement and Offer) each:
-
(a) an underwriting fee of one third of 5% (excluding GST) of the value of the Offer, being $28,745.49 per Underwriter; and
-
(b) a management fee of one third of 1% (excluding GST) of the capital raised under the Placement and under the Offer,
and to reimburse the Underwriters for expenses for the Placement and Offer.
The Company will also issue to each of the Underwriters and/or their nominees (following completion of the Placement and Offer) 2,000,000 listed Options with an exercise price of 8 cents each and an expiry date of 31 December 2014 (being a total of 6,000,000 Options).
If the Shortfall is less than the full amount under the Offer, the Shortfall will be allocated to each Underwriter on a pro rata basis in equal shares.
The obligations of the Underwriters to underwrite the Offer and act as lead managers to the Placement and Offer are subject to certain events of termination. These events of termination are considered standard for agreements of this nature. The Underwriters may terminate their obligations under the Underwriting Agreements on the occurrence of specified events, identical to each Underwriting Agreement, including if:
-
(a) ( lodgement and giving of Offer Document ) the Company does not proceed with the Offer, or fails to lodge this Prospectus with ASIC and give this Prospectus to ASX on or before 1 October 2012 (except where the sole reason for the failure is the wrongful act or omission of the Underwriter);
-
(b) ( delay ) an event specified in the Timetable is delayed (without the approval of the Underwriter) for more than five Business Days otherwise than as the direct result of actions taken by the Underwriter (unless those actions were requested by the Company) or the actions of the Company (where those actions were taken with the prior consent of the Underwriter);
-
(c) ( misleading statement in Prospectus ) a statement contained in the Prospectus is materially misleading or deceptive, or there is a material omission from either such document;
-
(d) ( unauthorised alterations ) the Company or a Group company issues shares or reduces, buys back, consolidates or otherwise alters its share capital or its constitution in any respect without the prior written consent of the Underwriter;
30
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
-
(e) ( material adverse change ) there is a material adverse change in assets, liabilities, financial position or performance, profits, losses or prospects of the Company and the Group (insofar as the position in relation to an entity in the Group affects the overall position of the Company), from those respectively disclosed in the Prospectus or to ASX, or a change in the nature of the business of the Group from that disclosed in the Prospectus or to ASX;
-
(f) ( adverse publicity ) any adverse or negative publicity or findings of any kind against either the Company or any of its directors or officers which, in the Underwriter’s reasonable opinion, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company, its reputation or its assets or liabilities, financial position or performance, profits or losses, or prospects;
-
(g) ( judgment and execution ) a judgment for more than $100,000 is obtained against the Company or any Group company, or any process, such as distress, attachment or execution, for an amount over $100,000 is issued against, levied or enforced upon any assets of the Company or any Group company and is not paid, set aside or satisfied within 10 Business Days;
-
(h) ( suspension of trading ) there is a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities on ASX for more than three days on which that exchange is open for trading; and
-
(i) ( Placement not approved or fully subscribed ) before the Shortfall Application Date, the second tranche of the Placement is not approved by Shareholders at general meeting and/or is not fully subscribed.
9.5 Mandate
Prior to entering into the Underwriting Agreements, the Underwriters and the Company entered into a mandate to set out the role that the Underwriters would have in the Placement and Offer, which is identical for each Underwriter. The rights and obligations of each party are standard to an agreement of this type and include the obligation of the Company to offer the Underwriters a right of first refusal to act as lead managers to any capital raising in the 12 months following completion of the Placement and Offer.
In addition to the fees payable to the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreements, the Company agreed under this mandate, to pay the Underwriters (following completion of the Placement and Offer) each a placement fee of one third of 5% (excluding GST) of the capital raised under the Placement.
9.6 Current and Potential Voting Power of the Underwriters
-
(a) Veritas and its associates do not currently have a relevant interest in any Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement between the Company and Veritas, Veritas has agreed to underwrite up to a third of the Offer, being up to 14,372,744 Shares and 7,186,372 New Options, raising up to $574,910 under the Offer.
-
(b) Triple C and its associates do not currently have a relevant interest in any Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement between the Company and Triple C, Triple C has agreed to underwrite up to a third of the Offer, being up to 14,372,744 Shares and 7,186,372 New Options, raising up to $574,910 under the Offer.
31
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
-
(c) Taylor Collison and its associates currently have a relevant interest in 75,000 Shares, representing 0.09% of the voting power of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement between the Company and Taylor Collison, Taylor Collison has agreed to underwrite up to a third of the Offer, being up to 14,372,744 Shares and 7,186,372 New Options, raising up to $574,910 under the Offer.
-
(d) The potential effect that the issue of Shares under the Offer will have on the control of the Company is as follows:
-
(i) if all Shareholders take up all of the Entitlement under the Offer, the percentage interest in the Shares of the Company held by the Underwriters (and any other major Shareholders) would not change and there would not be any effect on the control of the Company; and
-
(ii) if some or all of the Shareholders do not take up their Entitlement under the Offer, and there is a Shortfall, then the issue may have an effect on the control of the Company as detailed below.
-
(e) In order to fully disclose the Underwriters’ potential voting power in the Company on completion of the Offer, the table below sets out various scenarios to indicate the effect on the Company’s shareholding depending on the Shortfall (if any). Investors should note that the Underwriters’ potential voting power will also be reduced to the extent that any Shortfall is applied for, and allocated, to the other Shareholders of the Company.
-
(f) In the table below, it is assumed that the Underwriters and their associates will take up their full Entitlements as Shareholders under the Offer, each Underwriter will take up their respective maximum Shortfall, no Options are exercised and that the Placement is completed prior to the completion of the Offer.
| Event/Date | Number of Shares held by each Underwriter and its associates |
Voting Power of each Underwriter |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Veritas and Triple C | |||
| Date of Prospectus | 0 | 0% | |
| After issue of Shares assuming 100% shortfall |
14,372,744 | 9.33% | |
| After issue of Shares assuming 75% shortfall |
10,779,558 | 7.00% | |
| After issue of Shares assuming 50% shortfall |
7,186,372 | 4.67% | |
| After issue of Shares assuming 25% shortfall |
3,593,186 | 2.33% | |
| Taylor | |||
| Date of Prospectus | 75,000 | 0.09% | |
| After issue of Shares assuming 100% shortfall |
14,447,744 | 9.38% |

3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
| After issue of Shares assuming 75% shortfall |
10,854,558 | 7.05% |
|---|---|---|
| After issue of Shares assuming 50% shortfall |
7,261,372 | 4.71% |
| After issue of Shares assuming 25% shortfall |
3,668,186 | 2.38% |
- (g) The number of Shares held by the Underwriters and their voting power in the table above show the potential effect of the partial underwriting of the Offer. However, it is unlikely that no Shareholders, other than the Underwriters, will take up Entitlements under the Offer. The underwriting obligations, and therefore voting power of the Underwriters will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of Entitlements under the Offer taken up by the other Shareholders.
Examples of how the dilution may affect Shareholders following the Offer (assuming that no Options or New Options are exercised and that the securities have been issued under Tranche 2 and Tranche 2 was fully subscribed) are set out in the table below:
| Holder | Holding as at Record date |
% at Record Date1 |
Entitlements under the Offer |
Holdings if Offer not taken Up |
% post Offer2, 3 |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 |
10,000,000 | 11.60% | 5,000,000 | 10,000,000 | 6.49% | |
| Shareholder 2 |
5,000,000 | 5.80% | 2,500,000 | 5,000,000 | 3.25% | |
| Shareholder 3 |
1,500,000 | 1.74% | 750,000 | 1,500,000 | 0.97% | |
| Shareholder 4 |
400,000 | 0.46% | 200,000 | 400,000 | 0.26% | |
| Shareholder 5 |
50,000 | 0.06% | 25,000 | 50,000 | 0.03% |
Notes:
-
This is based on a share capital of 86,236,463, being those Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus.
-
This is based on a share capital of 154,015,017, being those Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus, plus those Shares issued under the Offer and under Tranche 2.
-
The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage dilution on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted by Eligible Shareholders are placed under the Shortfall Offer, that Shareholders 1 – 5 do not take up any of their Entitlement, no New Options or other Options are exercised and that the Shares under Tranche 2 have been issued and Tranche 2 was fully subscribed. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall is not subsequently placed, the dilution
33
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.
9.7 Intentions of the Underwriters

Remuneration
The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process.
The structure of non-executive and executive Director remuneration is separate and distinct.
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to Shareholders. The Constitution specifies that the aggregate remuneration of non executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by Shareholders and the manner in which
36
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external shareholders as well as the fees paid to non executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Company.
The following table shows the total remuneration paid and to be paid per financial year to the Directors (inclusive of superannuation and the value of any securities based payments).
| Director | 2010/2011 $ |
2011/2012 $ |
2012/20131 $ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stephen Power | 25,625 | 260,325 | 163,500 |
| Roger Mason | 85,979 | 297,500 | 297,500 |
| Mark Rodda | 24,489 | 59,950 | 59,950 |
| Peter Buck | 24,489 | 59,950 | 59,950 |
| Garry Johnson | 24,489 | 59,950 | 59,950 |
Notes:
- As the Company’s circumstances change, the amount of remuneration payable to the Directors in the 2012/2013 may change to reflect any additional commitment from the Directors.

38
3258-02/990CRN0676_AZY_PROSPECTUS.DOCX
9.12 Electronic prospectus
Pursuant to Class Order 00/44, the ASIC has exempted compliance with certain provisions of the Corporations Act to allow distribution of an electronic prospectus and electronic application form on the basis of a paper prospectus lodged with the ASIC, and the publication of notices referring to an electronic prospectus or electronic application form, subject to compliance with certain conditions.
If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Forms. If you have not, please phone the Company on +61 8 9481 1103 and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this Prospectus from the Company’s website at www.antipaminerals.com.au.
The Company reserves the right not to accept an Entitlement and Acceptance Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Entitlement and Acceptance Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.
9.13
Financial forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
9.14 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.
Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Shares allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.
9.15 Privacy Act
If you complete an application for Shares, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a holder of equity securities in the Company, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.
