Key Investment Highlights and Risks
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Key Points
-
Strategic focus on important commodities of Tin and Tungsten.
-
Focus on the redevelopment of the old Cleveland Tin mine commencing with tailing retreatment and transitioning to underground mining.
-
Proposed short lead time to production for the tailings treatment.
-
Environmental permitting process is well progressed.
-
Engineering and Mining studies are well progressed.
Elementos is focused on the development of the Cleveland Project in Tasmania and associated exploration assets that contain JORC resources of Tin, Copper and Tungsten.
Elementos is now entitled to 100% of the Exploration License covering the Cleveland Project.
The old Cleveland Tin mine includes an existing mine decline which will allow access to ore bodies after dewatering the mine. No exploration drilling has occurred in over 35 years. The Cleveland Project incorporates a tin and copper tailings resource that the Company considers provides a potential low cost development opportunity for reprocessing these tailings.
The Company is in the final stages of submitting a Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan (DPEMP) for the tailings reprocessing and dewatering of the mine having submitted a Notice of Intent in 2011. The environmental permitting process is being accessed under the bilateral agreement (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) between the Commonwealth and the State of Tasmania relating to environmental assessment and approvals.
Commodity Information
Tin
Tin supply has become increasingly constrained in recent years, keeping prices historically high. There is no equivalent substitute metal for the use of Tin for solder in electronics.
Tungsten
China is the world’s largest consumer of tungsten and is also by far the world’s largest supplier, accounting for 85% of production in 2013, according to US Geological Survey estimates. China restricts the export of tungsten concentrates, preferring to ship finished tungsten products, and is stockpiling reserves.
Tungsten demand has been forecast to grow through to 2018 at an average of 4.5% per annum.

Negotiations are on-going.
Former Projects
Manantiales, Argentina
The Company elected not to continue making payments under its option-to-purchase agreement and therefore no longer has any rights to this project.
Tamaya, Chile
The Company was unable to meet a 2,500 metre drilling commitment as part of an earn-in joint venture (50% interest in the project by spending US$7m over 3 years). The Company no longer has any rights to this project.
RISKS
The Company is an exploration company with no producing assets and limited means to raise funds. An investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative and subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to:
-
an ongoing need to access capital to fund exploration and development;
-
possible future underground production from the Cleveland project being dependent on the exploration defining further economic ore bodies;
-
possible future production from the Cleveland Project generally being dependent on successful outcomes of engineering, mining and mineral processing and positive studies as to the economic viability of the Cleveland projects; and
-
unfavorable commodity prices which will adversely affect project ecomomics.

6 RISK FACTORS
An investment in the New Shares the subject of this Prospectus is highly speculative as the Company is a resource exploration company. Please consider the risks described below and the information contained in other sections of this Prospectus. You should also consider consulting with your professional advisers before deciding whether or not to apply for the New Shares.
The following is a list of the material risks that may affect the financial position of the Company, the value of an investment in the Company, as well as the Company’s operations.
6.1 Risks specific to the Offer
(a) Dilution, liquidity and control
Upon completion of the Offer, assuming no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date and the Offer is fully subscribed for, the number of Shares the Company will have on issue will increase from 633,310,868 to 759,973,042. Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer will be diluted. Examples of dilution are set out in section 5.6.
Assuming only the $760,000 is raised, Mr. Greig’s voting power in the Company may increase up to a maximum of 23.55%. There is a risk that this may result in reduced liquidity for the Company’s Shares and Mr. Greig exerting increased control over the Company and its affairs.
(b) Sufficiency of funds and requirement for further capital
The Subscription for the Offer is $1.52million, of which $500,000 is underwritten.
There is a risk that any funds raised less than the full Subscription may not be sufficient to complete the proposed exploration and development, and that further funding will be required.
The Company’s ability to raise further capital (equity or debt) within an acceptable time, of a sufficient amount and on terms acceptable to the Company will vary according to a number of factors, including prospectivity of projects (existing and future), the results of exploration, subsequent feasibility studies, development and mining, stock market and industry conditions and the price of relevant commodities and exchange rates.
No assurance can be given that future funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms (or at all). If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms the Company may not be able to further develop its projects and it may impact on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
(c) Share price
It is not possible to predict the value of the Company or its Shares following the Offer, and the Directors do not make any representations to such matters. The last sale price of the Company’s Shares is 1.4 cents per Share, and there a risk that the New Shares may not trade for this price.
Page 16
Prospectus – Elementos Limited
6.2 Company and industry risks
The risks outlined below are specific to the Company’s operations and to the resource exploration industry in which the Company operates.
(a) Exploration risks
Whilst exploration by the Company and others justifies further exploration, the Company’s tenements carry exploration risk.
Exploration is a high risk undertaking. The Company does not give any assurance that exploration of its current projects or any future projects will result in the delineation or discovery of a significant mineral resource. Even if a significant mineral resource is identified, there can be no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
(b) Development risks
Funds raised will be used to undertake studies to determine the feasibility of developing the Cleveland Project and ultimately entering into production. If the results of the necessary technical studies are not favourable and indicate that production may not be economic there is a risk that the proposed development of the Cleveland Project will not proceed.
(c) Joint venture
The Company is currently, and may in the future become a party to joint venture agreements governing the exploration and development of its projects. There is a risk that one of the Company’s joint venture partners may default in their joint venture obligations or not act in the best interests of the joint venture. This may have an adverse effect on the interests and prospects of the Company.
(d) Title risk
Mining tenements are governed by the respective State legislation and each tenement is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments as well as other conditions requiring compliance. There is a risk that the Company could lose title to one or more of its tenements if tenement conditions or annual expenditure commitments are not met.
(e) Commodity prices
Commodities prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include worldwide and regional supply and demand for commodities, general world economic conditions and the outlook for interest rates, inflation and other economic factors on both a regional and global basis. These factors may have a positive or negative effect on the Company's exploration, project development and production plans and activities, together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.
(f) Environmental
The Company's projects are subject to rules and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mineral projects, the Company’s projects are expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. Development of any of the
Page 17
Prospectus – Elementos Limited
Company's projects will be dependent on the Company satisfying environmental guidelines and, where required, being approved by government authorities.
The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, but may still be subject to accidents or other unforeseen events which may compromise its environmental performance and which may have adverse financial implications.
- (g) Key personnel
The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives depends on the retention of key external contractors who constitute its technical panel and provide technical expertise. If the Company cannot secure external technical expertise (for example to carry out drilling) or if the services of the present technical panel cease to become available to the Company, this may affect the Company's ability to achieve its objectives either fully or within the timeframes and the budget the Company has decided upon.
Whilst the ability of the Company to achieve its objectives may be affected by the matters mentioned above, the Directors believe that appropriately skilled and experienced professionals would be available to provide services to the Company at market levels of remuneration in the event key external contractors cease to be available.
6.3 General investment risks
The risks outlined below are some of the general risks that may affect an investment in the Company.
(a) Securities investments and share market conditions
There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the securities trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors.
Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for exploration and mining companies may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the securities of the Company regardless of the Company's operational performance. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company, or any return of an investment in the Company.
(b) Liquidity risk
The market for the Company’s Shares may be illiquid. As a consequence investors may be unable to readily exit or realize their investment.
(c) Economic risk
Changes in both Australia and world economic conditions may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, industrial disruption and economic growth may impact on future operations and earnings.

Forward the form to your stockbroker together with your cheque for the total amount payable in respect of the New Shares accepted. Your stockbroker will need to ensure that the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form reaches the Share Registry, by 5.00pm AEST on 18 July 2014.

7.8 Payment methods
Cheque, bank draft or money order
The completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form must be accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to ‘Elementos Limited – Share Subscription Account’ and crossed ‘Not Negotiable’ for the appropriate application money in Australian dollars calculated at $0.012 per New Share accepted. Your cheque, bank draft or money order must be paid in Australian currency and be drawn on an Australian branch of an Australian financial institution. The Company will present the cheque or bank draft on or around the day of receipt of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You must ensure that your cheque
Page 20
Prospectus – Elementos Limited
account has sufficient funds to cover your payment, as your cheque will be presented for payment on receipt. If your bank dishonours your cheque your application will be rejected. Dishonoured cheques will not be represented.
If the amount of your cheque(s), bank draft(s) or money order(s) for application money (or the amount for which those cheque(s) or bank draft(s) clear in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you may be taken to have applied for such lower number of New Shares as your cleared application money will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form) or your Application may be rejected.
The Entitlement and Acceptance Form must be received by the Company at the following address by no later than 5.00 pm (EST) on the Closing Date:
| By Hand To: | By Post To: |
|---|---|
| Elementos Limited | Elementos Limited |
| C/- Boardroom Pty Ltd | C/- Boardroom Pty Ltd |
| Level 7, 207 Kent Street | GPO Box 3993 |
| Sydney, NSW | Sydney, NSW, 2001 |
BPAY
Alternatively, if you are paying by BPAY, refer to your personalised instructions on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Shareholders who wish to pay by BPAY must ensure that payment is received by no later than 5pm AEST on the Closing Date.
You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY are received by 5pm AEST on the Closing Date.
If you have more than one shareholding and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those shareholdings only use the Customer Reference Number specific to that shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same Customer Reference Number for more than one of your shareholdings. This can result in your application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining shareholdings will not be recognised as valid).
The Company shall not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays or delay in the receipt of the BPAY payment.
7.9 Entitlement and Acceptance Form is binding
A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with a cheque, bank draft or money order for the application moneys, or by making a payment in respect of an Application by BPay, constitutes a binding application to acquire New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Prospectus and, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn.
By completing and returning your Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite application monies, or by making a payment in respect of an Application by BPay, you will be deemed to have represented that you are an Eligible Shareholder. In addition, you will
Page 21
Prospectus – Elementos Limited
also be deemed to have represented and warranted on behalf of yourself or each person on whose account you are acting that the law in your place of residence and/or where you have been given the Prospectus, does not prohibit you from being given the Prospectus and that you:
-
(a) agree to be bound by the terms of the Offer;
-
(b) declare that all details and statements in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form are complete and accurate;
-
(c) declare that you are over 18 years of age and have full legal capacity and power to perform all your rights and obligations under the Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
-
(d) authorize the Company and its respective officers or agents, to do anything on your behalf necessary for the New Shares to be issued to you, including to act on instructions of the Company’s share registry upon using the contact details set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
-
(e) declare that you are the current registered holder of Shares and are an Australian or New Zealand resident, and you are not in the United States or a US Person, or acting for the account or benefit of a US Person;
-
(f) acknowledge that the information contained in, or accompanying, the Prospectus is not investment or financial product advice or a recommendation that New Shares are suitable for you given your investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs; and
-
(g) acknowledge that the New Shares have not, and will not be, registered under the securities laws in any other jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand and accordingly, the New Shares may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except in accordance with an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of applicable securities laws in particular the US Securities Act.
The Entitlement and Acceptance Form does not need to be signed to be a valid application. An Application will be deemed to have been accepted by the Company upon issuing the New Shares.
If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly or if the accompanying payment of the application moneys is for the wrong amount, it may still be treated as a valid application for New Shares. The Directors’ decision whether to treat an acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final. However, an Applicant will not be treated as having applied for more Shares than is indicated by the amount of the cheque for the application moneys.

(a) are the registered holder of Shares as at 7pm (AEST) on the Record Date; and
-
(b) have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.
8.7 Rights trading

Entitlements not taken up will become available as Shortfall Shares. The Directors reserve the right, to the extent New Shares are not subscribed for by the Underwriter or his nominees, to issue any Shortfall Shares at their discretion within 3 months after the Closing Date ( Shortfall Offer ).
Page 24
Prospectus – Elementos Limited
The Shortfall Offer is, to the extent it is made in Australia, made under this Prospectus. To the extent the Shortfall Offer is made outside Australia, the Shortfall Offer is made without disclosure, a prospectus, lodgement, filing or registration, or other requirements of any applicable securities law, and only in circumstances where it is lawful to do so (such as to institutional or sophisticated investors).
Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for Shortfall Shares by completing the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form. Other investors who are not Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Shares using the Shortfall Application Form attached to this Prospectus. Persons outside Australia doing so represent to the Company that they can apply for Shortfall Shares in circumstances which do not require the offer of Shortfall Shares or this Prospectus to be registered.
It is possible that there may be few or no Shortfall Shares available for issue, depending on the level of take up of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders.
The Company will allocate Shortfall Shares as follows:
-
(d) firstly, to Eligible Shareholders who apply for Shortfall Shares, with any oversubscriptions to be scaled back pro rata to the number of Shortfall Shares applied for;
-
(e) at the Directors’ discretion to other investors who have applied for Shortfall Shares prior to the Closing Date.
-

Subject to the above, the Directors reserve the right at their absolute discretion to reject any application for Shortfall Shares and it is an express term of the Shortfall Offer that applicants for Shortfall Shares will be bound to accept a lesser number of Shortfall Shares allocated to them than applied for. If a lesser number is allocated, excess application money will be refunded without interest as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.
8.9 Offer outside Australia and New Zealand
Recipients may not send or otherwise distribute this Prospectus or the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to any person outside Australia and New Zealand.
8.10 Treatment of Overseas Shareholders
Given the small number of Shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand and the cost of complying with applicable regulations in those jurisdictions, the Company has decided that it would be unreasonable to extend the Offer to any Shareholder, as at the Record Date, whose registered address is not situated in those jurisdictions. The Prospectus will not be sent to those Shareholders.

Neither the Company nor Underwriter will be liable for any failure to sell the Rights or to sell the Rights at any particular price.
8.11 Beneficial holders, nominees, trustees and custodians
The foreign selling restrictions under the Offer summarized in section 8.9 of this Prospectus apply to the underlying beneficial holder. Nominees, trustees and custodians must not apply on behalf of any beneficial holder that would not itself be an Eligible Shareholder. Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are advised to seek independent advice as to how they should proceed. Shareholders who hold Shares on behalf of persons whose registered address is not in Australia or New Zealand are responsible for ensuring that applying for New Shares does not breach securities laws in the relevant overseas jurisdictions.
Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of securities.

A CHESS statement or issuer sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.
8.16 Taxation and duty implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of the Company conducting the Offer or Shareholders applying for New Shares under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of Shareholders. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders in the Offer. Shareholders should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Offer.
No brokerage or stamp duty is payable by Applicants in respect of Applications for New Shares under this Prospectus.
8.17 Privacy
The Company collects information about each Applicant provided on an Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the purposes of processing the Application and, if the Application is successful, to administer the Applicant’s security holding in the Company.
By submitting an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, each Applicant agrees that the Company may use the information provided by an Applicant on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the purposes set out in this privacy disclosure statement and may disclose it for those purposes to the Share Registry, the Company’s related body corporates, agents, contractors and third party service providers, including mailing houses and professional advisors, and to ASX and regulatory authorities.
If an Applicant becomes a Shareholder, the Corporations Act requires the Company to include information about the Shareholder (including name, address and details of the Shares held) in its public register. The information contained in the Company’s public register must remain there even if that person ceases to be a Shareholder. Information contained in the Company’s register is also used to facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications (including the Company’s financial results, annual reports and other information that the Company may wish to communicate to its security holders) and compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements.
If you do not provide the information required on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, the Company may not be able to accept or process your Application. An Applicant has the right to gain access to the information that the Company holds about that person subject to certain exceptions under law. A fee may be charged for access. Such requests must be made in writing to the Company’s registered office.

9 RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SHARES
9.1 Rights attaching to New Shares
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are:
-
detailed in the Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected, free of charge, at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours; and
-
regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the general law.
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares. 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.
(a) Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any class of shares, at a general meeting of members every member has one vote on a show of hands and one vote per Share on a poll. Voting may be in person or by proxy, attorney or representative.
(b) Dividends
Subject to the rights of holders of shares issued with any special rights (at present there are none), the profits of the Company which the Board may from time to time determine to distribute by way of dividend are divisible to each share of a class on which the Board resolves to pay a dividend in proportion to the amount for the time being paid on a share bears to the total issue price of the share. All Shares currently on issue and the New Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are fully paid.
(c) Future issues of securities
Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors may issue, grant options over, or otherwise dispose of unissued shares in the Company at the times and on the terms that the Directors think proper and a share may be issued with preferential or special rights.
(d) Transfer of Shares
A shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerized or electronic system established or recognized by ASX for the purpose of facilitating transfers in Shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or the Board.
(e) Meetings and notices
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, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules. Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act.
(f) Liquidation rights
Page 30
Prospectus – Elementos Limited
The Company has one class of shares on issue, ordinary shares, which rank equally in liquidation.
(g) Variation of rights
Subject to the Listing Rules, the rights attached to the Shares may be varied with the consent in writing of shareholders holding three-quarters of the Shares or by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares in accordance with the Corporations Act
(h) Election of Directors
There must be a minimum of 3 but not more than 10 Directors. At every annual general meeting one third of the Directors (rounded to the nearest whole number) must retire from office. Any Director who would have held office for more than 3 years if that Director remains in office until the next general meeting must retire. These retirement rules do not apply to certain appointments including the managing Director.
(i) Indemnities
To the extent permitted by law the Company must indemnify each past and present Director and secretary against any liability incurred by that person as an officer of the Company and any legal costs incurred in defending an action in respect of such liability.
(j) Winding up
Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and any rights or restrictions attached to a class of shares, on a winding up of the Company any surplus must be divided among the shareholders of the Company.
(k) Shareholder liability
The New Shares are fully paid ordinary shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(l) 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.
(m) Listing Rules
If the Company is admitted to trading on the Official List, then despite anything in the Constitution, 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 and it does not contain such a provision, the Constitution is deemed to contain that provision. If the Listing Rules require the Constitution not to contain a provision and it contains such a provision, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision. If a provision of the Constitution is inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the
Page 31
Prospectus – Elementos Limited
Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
10.1 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. The New Shares which will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are in the same class of Shares that have been quoted on the official list of the ASX during the 12 months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.
This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus" to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms "transaction specific prospectuses" are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Shares on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Shares. 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 period from lodgment of the Company’s annual financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 to 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 ASIC; and
-
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
Page 33
Prospectus – Elementos Limited
-
(i) the annual financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 being the last financial statements for a financial year, of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus;
-
(ii) any half-year financial report lodged with ASIC by the Company after the lodgement of that annual report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus; and
-
(iii) any continuous disclosure notices given by the Company after the lodgment of the financial statements referred to in paragraph (i) and before the lodgment of this Prospectus with ASIC.
-
Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be obtained free of charge from the Company’s registered office during normal office hours.
