Company following completion of the Offer.
Section 3 (Risk
factors)

Deep Yellow Limited – Entitlement Issue Prospectus

page | 5

Question Response Where to find
more
information
Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be
diluted by approximately up to 31.8% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue
as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out
in the table in section 2.4 of this Prospectus.

Additional requirements for capital.
The Company’s ongoing activities will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantee
that the funds raised through the Offer will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of
the Company’s overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to continue to use debt or equity
to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Offer, there can be no
assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other
purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional fundraising on terms acceptable to the Company
or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders and any debt financing if
available may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company’s operations and business
strategy.
The Company’s failure to raise capital, if and when needed, could delay or suspend the Company’s
business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.

Mining regulations.
Mining in Namibia is subject to regulation under the Namibian Minerals Act 1992. There are also
various regulations in place in relation to the exploration, development, production, exports, taxes,
royalties, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and rehabilitation of the
environment, mine reclamation, mine safety, toxic and radioactive substances and other matters.
The cost of compliance with such laws and regulations will ultimately increase the cost of exploring,
drilling, developing, constructing, operating and closing mines and other production facilities.
There is a risk that government approvals may not be granted, or may be significantly delayed or
may make the deposit uneconomic.
Shareholders should be aware that changes of government, new legislation and changes to existing
legislation and government policy may impact upon the approvals granted or seeking to be granted
to the Company, the Company’s profitability and the viability of the Company’s operations.
Whilst the Company intends to conduct its business in accordance with all applicable laws and
regulations, compliance and re-compliance or in order to meet changes to the legislation or
regulations can be costly and may ultimately not be viable.

Exploration and development risks.
The business of uranium exploration, project development and production, by its nature, contains
elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. The Company’s projects are still at a very
early stage and there is no guarantee of development. Ultimate and continuous success of activities
is dependent on many factors such as:

the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;

access to adequate capital for project development;

design and construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital
expenditure budgets;

securing and maintaining title to interests;

obtaining regulatory consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of oil and gas
exploration, development and production;

securing plant and equipment, particularly given equipment utilisation rates are high in the
current period of global exploration/production activity, hence competition for such equipment
may also be high; and

access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including
the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors
and consultants.
There is no assurance that any exploration on current or future interests will result in the discovery of
an economic deposit of uranium. In particular, the Company may not produce sufficient quantities or
qualities of uranium to be profitable or commercially viable and may result in a total loss of the
investments by the Company.
Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs
depends on successful exploration and establishment of production facilities.
Drilling activities carry risk and as such, activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result
of weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortages or delays in the delivery of drill rigs or other
equipment.
Industry operating risks include fire, explosions, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages or
increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment, mechanical failure or
breakdown, environmental hazards such as accidental spills or leakage of liquids, gas leaks,
ruptures, discharges of toxic gases or geological uncertainty. The occurrence of any of these risks
could result in legal proceedings against the Company and substantial losses to the Company due to
injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, natural resources or equipment, pollution
or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation, and penalties or
suspension of operations. Damage occurring to third parties as a result of such risks may give rise
to claims against the Company.
In addition, the Company will be subject to multi-jurisdictional compliance with governmental
regulations in relation to licence conditions, the environment and operational conduct.

information
These factors affect the Company’s ability to establish mining operations, continue with its projects,
earn income from its operations and will affect the Company’s share price.

Commodity price volatility and foreign exchange risk.
In the future, the Company's revenue will come from sale of product. Therefore, its earnings will be
closely related to the price and arrangements it enters into for selling of its products. Product prices
fluctuate and are affected by factors including the relationship between global supply and demand for
uranium, forward selling by producers, the cost of production and general global economic
conditions.
A decline in the market prices of uranium may also require the Company to write down its mineral
reserves and resources which would have a material and adverse effect on its earnings and
profitability. Should any significant write-down in reserves and resources be required, material write-
down of the Company’s investment in the affected mining properties and increased amortisation,
reclamation and closure expenses may be required.
The Company’s projects are predominantly focussed on uranium in Namibia.
International factors such as inflation, exchange rates, supply and demand and political and
economic events, amongst other things, impact on the price of commodities including uranium,
particularly in the current global economic market. If the price of uranium seriously declines in the
future, this will materially impact on the Company’s ability to continue with its projects and the
Company may be forced to discontinue some or all of its operations.
The Company gives no assurance that the fluctuations in the commodity prices will not affect the
timing and viability of the projects.

Government policy and sovereign risk
The Company’s operations in Namibia are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other
risks and uncertainties associated with operating in a foreign jurisdiction. These risks and
uncertainties vary from country to country and include, but are not limited to, currency exchange
rates, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions,
licenses, permits and contracts, changes in taxation policies, restrictions on foreign exchange,
changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require
the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or
purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.
Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may adversely affect the
Company’s operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government
regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export
controls, currency remittance, income taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims,
environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use, Black Economic
Empowerment and mine safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local
practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or
expropriation of entitlements.
The occurrence of these various factors adds uncertainties which cannot be accurately predicted and
could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
These risks, together with the other risk outlines in section 3 and other general risks applicable to all
investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Shares and
Options in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered speculative.
Investors should consider consulting their financial or other professional adviser before deciding
whether to apply for Shares and Options pursuant to this Prospectus.
What is the effect on
control of the
Company?
The effect on the control of the Company will depend on the take-up of Entitlements by Eligible
Shareholders.
The Company has entered into: (i) the Sprott Finders Agreements; and (ii) the CPS Placement
Agreement.
Sprott will be placing Shares and Options under the Sprott Shortfall Placement and the Sprott
Makeup Offering (if any) to third parties none of whom will be Associates of Sprott or Explo. Each of
the placees identified by Sprott will not, by its participation in the Sprott Shortfall Placement, increase
its relevant interest in Shares to 20% or more.
As at the date of this Prospectus, CPS does not have a relevant interest in any Shares. The extent
to which Shares are issued pursuant to the CPS Placement Agreement may increase the CPS’
voting power in the Company. If CPS subscribes for the maximum Remaining Shortfall ($7,500,000
worth of Shares), CPS’ voting power in the Company will increase up to 3.95%. Each the third party
placees identified by CPS will not, by its participation in the placement of the Remaining Shortfall,
increase its relevant interest in Shares to 20% or more.
By reason of the above, the Offer will not result in any party gaining control of the Company.

Chairman’s letter

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Deep Yellow Limited (“DYL” or the “Company”), I am pleased to provide Shareholders with the opportunity to participate in a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement issue to raise approximately $15,117,405 (the “Offer”). All Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 5 new Shares, at an issue price of $0.25 per Share, for every 15 Shares held on the Record Date of 11 May 2017. For every 1 new Share issued, Eligible Shareholders will receive 1 free attaching Option with an exercise price of $0.50 and expiring on 1 June 2022 (unless accelerated). A total of approximately 60,469,620 Shares and 60,469,620 Options will be issued through the Offer.

Sprott Private Wealth LP. and one of its affiliates and CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd have agreed to support the Offer by assisting the Company in placing shortfall which may arise under the Offer. Further, Exploration Capital Partners 2014 Limited Partnership (a substantial shareholder of the Company and an affiliate of Sprott Private Wealth LP and its affiliate) has committed to take up its 12.41% Entitlement.

Since the appointment of John Borshoff as CEO and Managing Director approximately six months ago, the Company has set a new direction built around a robust strategy to grow shareholder wealth. This realignment is designed to take advantage of prevailing depressed uranium market conditions and it has already delivered tangible results.

Mr Borshoff has more than 30 years of experience in the uranium industry with expertise across exploration, feasibility studies, project construction, operations, product marketing, raising capital and mergers and acquisitions. His global industry network and leadership also brings significant benefits for the Company, as demonstrated by the strengthening of our internal team and new opportunities that have been presented since his appointment.

One key pillar of our new strategy is to grow resources across DYL’s existing uranium assets in Namibia and a number of significant achievements have been made in this respect.

In late March, a landmark strategic earn-in was signed with Japan Oil, Gas and Metal National Corporation (“JOGMEC”) for the Nova Joint Venture (“Nova”). By spending A$4.5million over four years, JOGMEC can earn a 39.5% interest in Nova and DYL, which remains manager of the Joint Venture, will see its interest diluted to 39.5%. Nova is considered prospective for both alaskite-associated uranium targets (e.g. Rössing) and palaeochannel-related calcrete uranium targets (e.g. Langer Heinrich) and has only been subject to minimal testing.

At DYL’s 100% (dilutable to 95%) controlled Namibian project, a full geological review completed by the new management team identified multiple opportunities to grow the existing resource. The first stage of a 10,000 metre drill program commenced in March and DYL was excited to report that 60 of the first 72 drill holes intersected a significant new zone of calcrete associated and palaeochannel hosted uranium mineralisation, similar to the Langer Heinrich deposit located 30 kilometres to the north east. Further new targets have been identified and will be tested during the remainder of 2017.

The second pillar of the Company’s strategy is to establish a global, multi-project, geographically diverse uranium platform through the pursuit of selective, value accretive acquisitions. Consideration of opportunities by the new management team is underway and the Board believes long-term shareholder value can be created by adopting a counter-cyclical approach in the current low uranium price environment.

Proceeds raised from the offer will be used for the following:

  • further drilling and exploration activities in Namibia to build on recent positive results;

  • the continued evaluation and potential funding for strategic, value accretive acquisitions to build a global multi-project platform;

  • in support of acquisition of possible new projects (if identified);

  • general working capital; and

  • expenses associated with the Offer.

As part of the Offer, Eligible Shareholders who have subscribed for their Entitlement in full and who, following acceptance of their Entitlement, would hold less than a marketable parcel of 2,000 Shares, may also apply for Additional Shares and Options in addition to their Entitlement limited to that number of Additional Shares and Options which would result in the Shareholder holding a marketable parcel of Shares. Further details of this aspect of the Offer are contained in section 1.8.

I wish to assure you that your Company will continue its efforts to deliver to the new strategy to enhance Shareholder value through both exploration and the pursuit of value accretive acquisition opportunities. On behalf of the Board and Management team, I take this opportunity to thank each of our Shareholders and look forward to your support of the Offer. Yours sincerely

Rudolf Brunovs Non-executive Chairman

2.4 Potential dilutionary impact of Offer

Assuming no existing Performance Rights are vested prior to the Record Date, the maximum number of Shares which will be issued pursuant to the Offer is 60,469,620. This equates to approximately 31.8% of all the issued Shares in the Company following completion of the Offer.

If all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Offer, each Eligible Shareholder’s percentage interest in the total number of Shares on issue will remain the same and will not be diluted.

In addition, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately up to 31% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below.

2.5 Potential impact of Offer on control of the Company

Assuming no Performance Rights are vested prior to the Record Date, the maximum number of Shares which will be issued pursuant to the Offer is 60,469,620. This equates to approximately 31.8% of all the issued Shares in the Company following completion of the Offer.

The Company has entered into: (i) Sprott Finder Agreements in relation to the Sprott Shortfall Placement and Sprott Makeup Offering; and (ii) the CPS Placement Agreement in relation to any Remaining Shortfall.

Sprott will place Shares and Options under the Sprott Shortfall Placement, (if any) to third parties none of whom will be Associates of Sprott or Explo. Each of the placees identified by Sprott will not, by its participation in the Sprott Shortfall Placement, increase its relevant interest in Shares to 20% or more.

As at the date of this Prospectus, CPS does not have a relevant interest in any Shares. The extent to which Shares are issued pursuant to the CPS Placement Agreement may increase the CPS’ voting power in the Company. If CPS subscribes for the maximum Remaining Shortfall ($7,500,000 worth of Shares), CPS’ voting power in the Company will increase up to 3.95%. Each of the third party placees identified by CPS will not, by its participation in the placement of the Remaining Shortfall, increase its relevant interest in Shares to 20% or more.

By reason of the above, the Offer will not result in any party gaining control of the Company.

Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves many risks, which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. Intending investors should read the whole of this Prospectus in order to fully appreciate such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made to apply for Shares.

There are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There is also a range of specific risks associated with the Company's business. These risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company. The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which potential investors need to be aware of.

3.2 Risks specific to the Offer

Potential for significant dilution

Upon completion of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no existing Performance Rights are vested prior to the Record Date, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 129,577,759 to 190,047,379. This increase equates to approximately 31.8% of all the issued Shares in the Company following completion of the Offer.

This means that each Share will represent a significantly lower proportion of the ownership of the Company. It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Offer and the Directors do not make any representation to such matters.

The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the Prospectus being lodged of $0.275 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares following completion of the Offer.

Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately up to 31.8% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Please refer to section 2.4 of this Prospectus for examples of how the potential dilutionary effect of the Offer may impact Shareholders.

3.3 Risks specific to the Company

Uranium mining regulations

Namibia

Mining in Namibia is subject to regulation under the Namibian Minerals Act 1992. There are also various regulations in place in relation to the exploration, development, production, exports, taxes, royalties, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and rehabilitation of the environment, mine reclamation, mine safety, toxic and radioactive substances and other matters. The cost of compliance with such laws and regulations will ultimately increase the cost of exploring, drilling, developing, constructing, operating and closing mines and other production facilities.

There is a risk that government approvals may not be granted, or may be significantly delayed or may make the deposit uneconomic.

General

Approvals required for uranium mining are stringent and rigorous compared with other types of mining activities. Exploration approvals are required before exploration can commence and if uranium is discovered, further approvals including safeguard approvals for permits to possess nuclear material. Development of any mineral resources will be dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain environmental and legislative approvals to carry out its operations and its ability to meet any proposed conditions on these approvals. There is no guarantee that these approvals will be granted.

Whilst the Company intends to conduct its business in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, compliance and re-compliance in order to meet changes to the legislation or regulations can be costly and may ultimately not be viable.

Shareholders should be aware that changes of government, new legislation and changes to existing legislation and government policy may impact upon the approvals granted or seeking to be granted to the Company, the Company’s profitability and the viability of the Company’s operations.

Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s ongoing activities will require substantial expenditures. There can be no guarantee that the funds raised through the Offer will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company’s overall business strategy. If the Company is unable to continue to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Offer, there can be no assurances that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional fundraising on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders and any debt financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company’s operations and business strategy.

The Company’s failure to raise capital, if and when needed, could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.

Exploration and development risks

The business of uranium exploration, project development and production, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. The Company’s projects are still at a very early stage and there is no guarantee of development. Ultimate and continuous success of activities is dependent on many factors such as:

  • the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;

  • access to adequate capital for project development;

  • design and construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital expenditure budgets;

Deep Yellow Limited – Entitlement Issue Prospectus

page | 17

  • securing and maintaining title to interests;

  • obtaining regulatory consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of mineral exploration, development and production;

  • securing plant and equipment, particularly given equipment utilisation rates are high in the current period of global exploration/production activity, hence competition for such equipment may also be high; and

  • access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.

There is no assurance that any exploration on current or future interests will result in the discovery of an economic uranium deposit. In particular, the Company may not produce sufficient quantities or qualities of uranium to be profitable or commercially viable and may result in a total loss of the investments by the Company.

Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on successful exploration and establishment of production facilities.

Drilling activities carry risk and as such, activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortages or delays in the delivery of drill rigs or other equipment.

Industry operating risks include fire, explosions, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment, mechanical failure or breakdown, environmental hazards such as accidental spills or leakage of liquids, gas leaks, ruptures, discharges of toxic gases or geological uncertainty. The occurrence of any of these risks could result in legal proceedings against the Company and substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, natural resources or equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation, and penalties or suspension of operations. Damage occurring to third parties as a result of such risks may give rise to claims against the Company.

In addition, the Company will be subject to multi-jurisdictional compliance with governmental regulations in relation to licence conditions, the environment and operational conduct.

These factors affect the Company’s ability to establish mining operations, continue with its projects, earn income from its operations and will affect the Company’s share price.

Mineral resource estimates may be inaccurate

Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available.

In addition, resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Insurance coverage risk

Exploration and development operations on mineral properties involve numerous risks, including unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions, rock bursts, cave-ins, ground or slope failures, fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences, political and social instability that could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or producing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining caused by industrial accidents or labour disputes, changes in regulatory environment, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and development is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the industry on acceptable terms. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.

Commodity price risk and exchange rate risk

In the future, the Company's revenue will come from sale of product. Therefore, its earnings will be closely related to the price and arrangements it enters into for selling of its products. Product prices fluctuate and are affected by factors including the relationship between global supply and demand for uranium, forward selling by producers, the cost of production and general global economic conditions.

A decline in the market prices of uranium may also require the Company to write down its mineral reserves and resources which would have a material and adverse effect on its earnings and profitability. Should any significant write-down in reserves and resources be required, material writedown of the Company’s investment in the affected mining properties and increased amortisation, reclamation and closure expenses may be required.

The Company’s projects are predominantly focussed on uranium in Namibia.

International factors such as inflation, exchange rates, supply and demand and political and economic events, amongst other things, impact on the price of commodities including uranium, particularly in the current global economic market. If the price of uranium seriously declines in the future, this will materially impact on the Company’s ability to continue with its projects and the Company may be forced to discontinue some or all of its operations.

The Company gives no assurance that the fluctuations in the commodity prices will not affect the timing and viability of the projects.

Government policy and sovereign risk

The Company’s operations in Namibia are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in a foreign jurisdiction. These risks and uncertainties vary from country to country and include, but are not limited to, currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts, changes in taxation policies, restrictions on foreign exchange, changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may adversely affect the Company’s operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land

Deep Yellow Limited – Entitlement Issue Prospectus

page | 18

claims of local people, water use, Black Economic Empowerment and mine safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements.

The occurrence of these various factors adds uncertainties which cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

Competition from alternative energy and public perception

Nuclear energy is in direct competition with other more conventional sources of energy which include gas, coal and hydro-electricity.

Furthermore, any potential growth of the nuclear power industry (with any attendant increase in the demand for uranium) beyond its current level will depend upon continued and increased acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating electricity. The nuclear industry is currently subject to negative public opinion due to political, technological and environmental factors. This may have an adverse impact on the demand for uranium and increase the regulation of uranium mining.

One of the arguments in favour of nuclear energy is its lower emissions of carbon dioxide per unit of power generated compared to coal and gas. Alternative energy systems such as wind or solar also have very low levels of carbon emissions, if any, however to date these have not been efficient enough to be relied upon for large scale base load power. Technology changes may occur that make alternative energy systems more efficient and reliable.

Access to land

The Company will experience delays and cost overruns if it is unable to access the land required for its operations. This may be as a result of weather, environmental restraints, native title, harvesting, landholder’s activities or other factors.

The Company’s exploration activities are also dependent upon the grant, or as the case may be, the maintenance or renewal of appropriate licences, concessions, leases, permits and regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. The maintenance, renewal and granting of tenements often depends on the Company being successful in obtaining required statutory approvals. There is no assurance that the Company will be granted all the mining tenements for which it has applied or that licences, concessions, leases, permits or consents will be renewed as and when required or that new conditions will not be imposed in connection therewith. To the extent such approvals, consents or renewals are not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its exploration activities or proceeding with any future exploration or development.

Environmental regulation risk

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in Namibia.

Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for noncompliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Government approvals and permits are required in connection with the Company’s operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its mineral properties.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions (including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed) and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing the Company’s operations and activities, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in the development of new properties.

Environmental liabilities risk

The Company’s activities are subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with the potential pollution of the environment and the necessary disposal of mining waste products resulting from mineral exploration and production. Insurance against environmental risk (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to the Company (or to other companies in the minerals industry) at a reasonable price. To the extent that the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the satisfaction of any such liabilities would reduce funds otherwise available to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are constantly changing, and are generally becoming more restrictive.

Land rehabilitation requirements

Although variable, depending on location and the governing authority, land rehabilitation requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies, as well as companies with mining operations, in order to minimise long term effects of land disturbance. Rehabilitation may include requirements to control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents and to reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance land forms and vegetation. In order to carry out rehabilitation obligations imposed on the Company in connection with its mineral exploration, the Company must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent on further exploration and/or development programs.

Litigation risk

The Company is subject to litigation risks. All industries, including the minerals exploration industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company is or may become subject could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or the Company’s activities.

Unforeseen expenses

The Company may be subject to significant unforeseen expenses or actions.

Deep Yellow Limited – Entitlement Issue Prospectus

page | 19

This may include unplanned operating expenses, future legal actions or expenses in relation to future unforeseen events. The Directors expect that the Company will have adequate working capital to carry out its stated objectives however there is the risk that additional funds may be required to fund the Company’s future objectives.

Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. The loss of the services of one or more of such key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company’s ability to manage its exploration and development activities, and hence its success, will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.

Joint venture parties, contractors and agents

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of:

  • financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or may become a party;

  • insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities; or

  • insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activities.

3.4 General Risks

Economic risks

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.

Further, 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:

  • general economic outlook;

  • interest rates and inflation rates;

  • currency fluctuations;

  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • terrorism or other hostilities.

Securities price fluctuation

The market price of a publicly traded stock is affected by many variables not directly related to the success of the Company. In recent years, the securities markets have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that such fluctuations will not affect the price of the Company’s securities.

Share market risk

The market price of the Company’s Shares could fluctuate significantly. The market price of the Company’s Shares may fluctuate based on a number of factors including the Company’s operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar companies, the public’s reaction to the Company’s press releases, other public announcements and the Company’s filings with the various securities regulatory authorities, changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track the Company’s Shares or the shares of other companies in the resource sector, changes in general economic conditions, the number of the Company’s Shares publicly traded and the arrival or departure of key personnel, acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving the Company or its competitors.

In addition, the market price of the Company’s Shares are affected by many variables not directly related to the Company’s success and are therefore not within the Company’s control, including other developments that affect the market for all resource sector shares, the breadth of the public market for the Company’s Shares, and the attractiveness of alternative investments.

3.5 Speculative nature of 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 Shares and Options offered under this Prospectus.

4 Additional information

4.1 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) and is subject to the regime of continuous disclosure and periodic reporting requirements. Specifically as a listed company, the Company is subject to the Listing Rules which require continuous disclosure to the market of any information possessed by the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its Shares.

The board of Directors have adopted a policy on compliance with the Listing Rules which sets out the obligations of the Directors, officers and employees to ensure the Company satisfies the continuous disclosure obligations imposed by the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The policy provides information as to what a person should do when they become aware of information which could have a material effect on the Company’s securities and the consequences of non-compliance.

4.2 Legal framework of this Prospectus

As a "disclosing entity", the Company has issued this Prospectus in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act applicable to prospectuses for an offer of securities which are quoted enhanced disclosure ( ED ) securities and the securities are in a class of securities that were quoted ED securities at all times in the 12 months before the issue of this Prospectus.

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 enquiries as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the requirements of ASX as applicable to disclosing entities from time to time, and which require the Company to notify ASIC of information available to the stock market conducted by ASX, throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus.

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 ASX maintains files containing publicly disclosed information about all listed companies. The Company's file is available for inspection at ASX in Perth during normal working hours. In addition, copies of documents lodged by, or in relation to, the Company with ASIC may be obtained from, or inspected at, any regional office of ASIC.

4.3 Information available to Shareholders

The Company will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any investor who so requests during the application period under this Prospectus:

  • (a) the Annual Financial Report for the Company for the year ending 30 June 2016;

  • (b) the Interim Financial Report of the Company for the half-year ending 31 December 2016; and

  • (c) the following documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company during the period after lodgement of the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the period ending 30 June 2016 and before the issue of this Prospectus:

4.4 Corporate Governance

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs.

To the extent that they are applicable to the Company, the Board has adopted the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations where the Board has considered the recommendation to be an appropriate benchmark for its corporate governance practices. Where, after due consideration, the Company’s corporate governance practices depart from a recommendation, the Board has disclosed the reasons for the departure in its Corporate Governance Statement for the financial year ended 30 June 2016. This can be found in the Annual Financial Report for the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016.

A summary of the Company’s corporate governance policies and procedures is available on the Company’s website at www.deepyellow.com.au.

4.5 Rights attaching to Shares

The Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares in the Company.

Full details of the rights attaching to the Company’s Shares are set out in its Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected at the Company’s registered office.

Deep Yellow Limited – Entitlement Issue Prospectus

page | 22

(a) Voting

Every holder of Shares present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of Shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands (except if a Shareholder has appointed 2 proxies, neither of those proxies may vote), and, on a poll every holder of Shares who is present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for every Share held by him or her, and a proportionate vote for every partly paid Share, registered in such Shareholder's name on the Company's share register.

A poll may be demanded by the chairman of the meeting, by any five Shareholders entitled to vote on the particular resolution present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative, or by any one or more Shareholders who are together entitled to not less than 5% of the total voting rights of the Shares of all those Shareholders having the right to vote on the resolution.

(b) Dividends

Dividends are payable out of the Company's profits and are declared by the Directors.

(c) Transfer of Shares

A Shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in Shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the Directors.

The Directors of the Company may refuse to register any transfer of Shares, where the Company is permitted or required to do so by the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. The Company must not prevent, delay or interfere with the registration of a proper market transfer in a manner which is contrary to the provisions of any of the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

(d) Meetings and Notice

Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings for the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

(e) Liquidation Rights

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

(f) Shareholder Liability

As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(g) Alteration to the Constitution

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. At least 28 days written notice, specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

(h) Listing Rules

The Company is admitted to the Official List, and as such despite anything in the Constitution of the Company, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Nothing in the Constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done. If the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be). If the Listing Rules require the Constitution to contain a provision or not to contain a provision the Constitution is deemed to contain that provision or not to contain that provision (as the case may be). If a provision of the Constitution is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

4.6 The terms and conditions of the Options are:

  • (a) Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one ordinary share in the Company upon the payment of $0.50.

  • (b) The Options will expire on the earlier of:

  • (i) 1 June 2022; and

  • (ii) 22 ASX Business Days after the Notification Date (defined below),

( Expiry Date ).

The Company will give notice of the new Expiry Date to the Option Holders on the Notification Date, and again before the 8th last ASX Business Day before the new Expiry Date.

Notification Date means the date (being any date within 5 ASX Business Days of the Acceleration Trigger Date) on which Option holders are notified of the Acceleration Trigger Date (defined below) such notification to be released on the Exchange; and

Acceleration Trigger Date means that date, at any time after 30 days after the issue date of the Options, that the closing price of the Shares on ASX is higher than A$0.78 for any 20 consecutive ASX Business Day period, then on the 20th consecutive ASX Business Day of any such period.

  • (c) The Options are transferable.

  • (d) The Company will apply for the Options to be quoted on ASX.

  • (e) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in these Options and holders of the Options will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital that may be offered to shareholders during the currency of the Option.

Deep Yellow Limited – Entitlement Issue Prospectus

page | 23

  • (f) Option Holders have the right to exercise their Options prior to the date of determining entitlements to any capital issues to the then existing shareholders of the Company made during the currency of the Options, and will be granted a period of at least 3 business days before books closing date to exercise the Options.

  • (g) In the event of any re-organisation (including reconstruction, consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return of capital) of the issued capital of the Company, the rights of the Option Holders will be changed to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a re-organisation of capital at the time of the re-organisation, but in all other respects the terms of exercise will remain unchanged.

  • (h) The Options shall be exercisable at any time before the Expiry Date ( Exercise Period ) by the delivery to the registered office of the Company of a notice in writing ( Notice ) stating the intention of the Option Holder to exercise all or a specified number of Options held by them accompanied by an Option Certificate and a cheque made payable to the Company for the subscription monies for the Shares. The Notice and cheque must be received by the Company during the Exercise Period. An exercise of only some Options shall not affect the rights of the Option Holder to the balance of the Options held by the Option Holder.

  • (i) The Company shall allot the resultant Shares and deliver a statement of shareholdings with a holders’ identification number within 5 business days of exercise of the Options.

  • (j) The Shares allotted shall rank, from the date of allotment, equally with the existing ordinary Shares of the Company in all respects.
