The New Shares will be fully underwritten by the Company’s largest shareholder, China Uranium Development Company Limited (“CUD”).

(B) the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares; and
(f) the potential effects of the Entitlement Issue on the control of the Company are set out below.
EFFECT OF ENTITLEMENT ISSUE ON CONTROL OF ENERGY METALS
The Offer is fully underwritten by CUD. The Offer is not expected to materially impact the control of the Company. The Company is already controlled by CUD, and CUD has agreed to underwrite any shortfall that arises under the Entitlement Issue. If all Shareholders subscribe for their full entitlements under the Entitlement Issue, there will be no effect on the percentage shareholdings of Shareholders, or the control of the Company. Set out below is some information of the impact that the Offer may have on the control of the Company and on the issued capital of the Company:
| Shares | Number |
|---|---|
| Shares on issue at 18 November 2013 | 153,767,762 |
| Maximum Shares offered pursuant to the Offer | 55,915,550 |
| Total Shares on issue upon completion of the Offer | 209,683,312 |
As noted elsewhere above, CUD currently has a relevant interest of 60.56% of the Company’s issued voting shares. The table below demonstrates the approximate extent of the increase in the voting power of CUD as a result of underwriting the Entitlement Issue:
| Entitlement Issue: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Event/Date | Number of Sharesheld by CUD | Voting Power ofCUD |
| Date of Offer Document | 93,122,835 | 60.56% |
| After issue of New Shares assuming CUDtakes up its full Entitlement and there isotherwise a 100% Shortfall. | 149,038,385 | 71.08% |
| After issue of New Shares assuming CUDtakes up to its full Entitlement and thereis otherwise a 75% Shortfall. | 139,390,158 | 66.48% |
| After issue of New Shares assuming CUDtakes up its full Entitlement and there isotherwise a 50% Shortfall. | 135,255,203 | 64.50% |

CUD has advised the Company that it intends to take up its full entitlement under the Offer (approximately 33,862,458 Shares). The figures depicted above demonstrate the potential effect of the underwriting by CUD. In the event that Shareholders take up their entitlements and/or subscribe for New Shares under the shortfall offer, the underwriting obligation of CUD will reduce by a corresponding amount.
The figures above do not take into account the fact that the New Shares which would otherwise have been issued to Prohibited Foreign Holders will be issued to a nominee and will therefore not form part of the shortfall. See section 1.7 below. Consequently the number of Shares held by CUD and the voting power of CUD stated in the table above will be lower than stated.
In general, CUD has advised the Company that it:
-
(a) has no intention of making any significant changes to the business of the Company;
-
(b) does not propose to change the management and operations of the Company or to make any change to the employment of any present employee of the Company;
-
(c) does not intend to redeploy any fixed assets of the Company;
-
(d) does not intend to transfer any property between the Company and CUD or any person associated with it; and
-
(e) has no current intention to change the Company’s existing policies in relation to financial matters or dividends.
CUD has advised that its intentions in relation to Energy Metals remain the same as stated above following the Offer.
Yours sincerely
