The issue of any Listed Options under the Listed Options Offer is subject to Shareholder approval at a general meeting.

Actions required of Eligible Shareholders

  • You may take up all or some of your rights to subscribe for New Shares pursuant to the Prospectus ( Entitlements ). To take up all or some of your Entitlements you will need to ensure your application money for the Entitlements you wish to take up is received by Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited ( Share Registry ) by no later than 5:00pm (WST) on 30 August 2012, by either completing and returning your Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with your application money or making a payment by BPAY in accordance with the instructions on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

  • You may seek to sell all or some of your Entitlements on ASX. You can seek to sell your Entitlements on ASX from 7 August 2012 until the close of market on 23 August 2012. To sell any of your Entitlements you need to contact your broker as soon as possible.

  • You may transfer all or some of your Entitlements to another person other than on ASX. To transfer all or some of your Entitlements you will either need to contact your CHESS Controlling Participant (usually your broker) and follow their instructions or complete a renunciation and transfer form (which can be obtained from Share Registry) and return it, together with the purchaser’s cheque for the Entitlements they wish to take up so that it is received by the Share Registry by no later than 5:00pm (WST) on 30 August 2012.

  • You may do nothing. If you choose to do nothing with your Entitlements, while you will continue to hold the same number of Shares, your interest in the Company will be diluted and you will receive no value for your Entitlement.

The Directors of Mining Group recommend that if you are in doubt as to the value of the Entitlement Offer then you should contact your financial adviser.

If you have any queries in relation to the Entitlement Offer, please do not hesitate to contact Shannon Coates, the Company Secretary on (08) 9322 6424.
