6. Chairman’s letter
Dear Shareholder,
This Loyalty Options Prospectus has been prepared by Godolphin Resources Limited (Godolphin or the Company) for the purpose of a Bonus Issue of Loyalty Options to all Eligible Shareholders and Eligible Option Holders holding Shares and Options on the Record Date.
The Company’s Prospectus dated 29 October 2019 ( IPO Prospectus ) included an indicative offer of 1 free Loyalty Option for every 3 Shares / Options held on the Record Date for an exercise price of the higher of $0.25 or 25% premium to the 5-day VWAP prior to the Loyalty Option Prospectus, and an expiry date 12 months after the date of issue.
Following recent declines in equity markets caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s directors decided to issue the Loyalty Options on more favourable terms than offered in the IPO Prospectus.
All Godolphin Shareholders and Eligible Option Holders holding Shares or Options on the Record Date of 5 June 2020 will still receive 1 free Loyalty Option for every 3 Shares and Options held.
Each Loyalty Option will be exercisable at any time on or before 24 months from the Issue Date, with an exercise price of $0.20.
The Loyalty Options will not be transferrable nor will they be listed on ASX. Shares issued upon exercise of the Loyalty Options will rank equally with all Shares on issue.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of the Company to date. We have been fortunate to have a dedicated team of professionals, and an excellent portfolio of 100% controlled exploration projects in the Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) of NSW., a leading Australian province for gold-base metal mines..
As described in the Company’s IPO Prospectus, the Company’s exploration strategy is to explore and develop its large contiguous tenement holding within the LFB.
With the encouraging results announced to date on these projects, we feel that the funds received from any future option exercise over the next 24 months will be most useful for accelerating the development programs.
In line with results to date, the team is being expanded and will continue to work hard to ensure that the pace of development of Godolphin’s assets is continued and we look forward to your continued support.
Yours faithfully,

8. Purpose and Effect of the Bonus Issue
8.1. Introduction
As disclosed in the October 2019 prospectus issued to list on ASX, Godolphin announced its intention to undertake a Bonus Issue of Loyalty Options at no cost to all Godolphin Shareholders on the register approximately three months from listing.
By this Loyalty Options Prospectus, the Company is making a pro-rata Bonus Issue on the basis of one Loyalty Option (rounded up to the nearest whole number) for every three Shares or Options held by Eligible Shareholders and Eligible Option Holders on the Record Date.
Each Loyalty Option will be issued for no consideration and entitle the holder to be issued one Share exercisable at any time on or before 24 months from the issue date, with an exercise price of $0.20.
The Bonus Issue is non-renounceable, meaning Shareholders may not transfer their Entitlement.
The primary purpose of the Bonus Issue is to reward Eligible Shareholders and Eligible Option Holders for their loyalty to and support of the Company. If the Bonus Options are exercised, this will provide the Company with a potential source of additional capital.
The terms of the Loyalty Option and underlying Shares are set out in Section 11.
8.2. Use of funds of the Bonus Issue
As the Loyalty Options are being issued for no consideration, no funds will be raised as a result of the Bonus Issue.
The Company will receive $0.20 for each Loyalty Option exercised. There is no certainty that any Loyalty Options would be exercised, and the number exercised will depend on the Share price relative to the exercise price during the exercise period.
It is currently intended that any funds raised by the exercise of the Loyalty Options will be used for accelerating exploration and development on the Company’s projects and for working capital.
The application of funds will depend on when Loyalty Options are exercised and the status of the Company’s projects and requirements at the relevant time.
8.3. Statement of financial position
Set out in Section 15 is the un-audited Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Company as at 31 March 2020 and prepared on the basis of the following assumptions:
-
(a) the Bonus Issue was effective on 31 March 2020;
-
(b) no funds would be received from the Bonus Issue;
-
(c) no further Shares are issued (including by way of exercise of Options) other than all Loyalty Options issued under this Loyalty Options Prospectus;
-
(d) costs of the Bonus Issue are approximately $40,367.
13 | P a g e
8.4. Effect of the Bonus Issue on the Company’s Equity Securities
Assuming that no further Shares are issued (including by way of exercise of Options) prior to the Record Date, at the close of the Bonus Issue, the capital structure of the Company will be:

| 87,957,151 | 117,276,201 | 116,609,534 |
The actual number of Loyalty Options to be issued will be determined by the number of Advisor Options that are exercised between the date of the Loyalty Options Prospectus and the Record Date.
If no Advisor Options, are exercised prior to the Record Date, the number of Loyalty Options to be issued at completion of the Loyalty Issue is approximately 28,652,383. If all Advisor Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the maximum number of Loyalty Options to

7 Assumes there is no issue of new Shares, and Existing Options on issue prior to the Record Date are not exercised.

be issued at completion of the Loyalty Issue is approximately 29,319,050.
Under the terms of the Consideration Options held by Ardea, Ardea is entitled to be issued one additional Loyalty Option for every three Consideration Options Ardea holds on the Record Date ( Ardea Options ).
Under the terms of the Employee Options, each employee holding an Employee Option, including the CEO, is entitled to be issued one additional Loyalty Option for every three Employee Options the employee holds on the Record Date.
Under the terms of Incentive Scheme, each Director is entitled to be issued one additional Loyalty Option for every three Incentive Options the Director holds on the Record Date.
8.5. Potential effect on control
Based on the publicly available information as at 1 June 2020, the relevant interests and voting power of the substantial shareholders (based on undiluted and diluted) of the Company are as follows:
| Shareholder Shares Options |
% voting % voting |
|---|---|
| power power |
|
| (based on an (based on a |

| Ian Buchhorn and associates 6,699,849 250,000 9.86% 7.90% B O’Shannassy and associates 4,920,506 Nil 7.24% 5.59% Ardea 554,651 15,000,000 0.82% 17.68% |
On an undiluted basis, the Bonus Issue will have no effect on the quantity of Shares held by these substantial shareholders (and their associates) as only Options are being issued.
The exercise of the Loyalty Options will not have a material effect on the control of the Company as:
-
(a) The issue based on Existing Shares is pro rata to Eligible Shareholders;
-
(b) Neither substantial holder holds Consideration Options or Employee Options;
-
(c) Ian Buchhorn holds 250,000 Incentive Options, if he exercised all his Incentive Options he would hold 10.19% in the capital of the Company (on an undiluted basis); and
-
(d) No person acquiring Loyalty Options may exercise their Options if that person or someone else’s voting power in the Company increases:
-
(i) from 20% or below to more than 20%; or
-
(ii) from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.
8.6. Prohibition on exceeding 20% voting power
You must have regard to and comply with the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act (that is, the 20% voting power threshold), when exercising Loyalty Options granted pursuant to this Loyalty Options Prospectus.
The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility for ensuring that you do not breach section 606 as a result of the exercise of the Loyalty Options.
15 | P a g e
If you may be at risk of breaching section 606 as a result of the exercise of Loyalty Options, you have the following choices available to you:
-
(a) Sell some or all of your Shares prior to exercising any Loyalty Options held by you; or
-
(b) Rely on an exemption from the takeover prohibition in section 611 (such as the 3% creep exemption).
If you may be at risk of exceeding the 20% voting power threshold in section 606 or increasing your voting power from a position above 20% as a result of the acquisition of Shares following exercise of Loyalty Options, you should seek professional advice before exercising Loyalty Options.
16 | P a g e
9. Risk Factors

An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors consider the risk factors described below and together with information contained elsewhere in this Loyalty Options Prospectus and to consult with their professional advisers before deciding whether to sell or exercise any Loyalty Options issued to them pursuant to this Loyalty Options Prospectus.
There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business and circumstances. In addition, there are general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
9.1. Risks specific to the Bonus Issue
- (a) Dilution
If Shareholders do not exercise their Loyalty Options, because they allow those Loyalty Options to expire without being exercised, and other Shareholders exercise their Loyalty Options, their shareholding will be diluted as a result.
- (b) Exercise Price
There can be no guarantee that the Share price will be greater than the exercise price of the Loyalty Options during the period up to the expiry of the Loyalty Options. Accordingly, there is a risk that the Loyalty Options will be out of the money during the exercise period, which would affect the value of the Loyalty Options.
9.2. Specific Risks
Godolphin’s exploration projects represent the main business activity and focus of Godolphin. Risks specific to these projects and Godolphin’s circumstances include the following:
- (a) Non - grant or non - renewal of title
Godolphin’s tenements are subject to application or renewal.
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to perform minimum exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements.

All the Group’s licences are in good standing at the date of this report. Tenement renewal applications have been submitted for Calarie, Calarie Lachlan Mine, Copper Hill East, and Wisemans Creek..
There is a risk that Godolphin may not retain title to these tenements.
Under New South Wales law, exploration tenements are valid for set periods of time and renewal is subject to the approval of the NSW State Minister. There is no guarantee that Godolphin will in future be successful in the renewal of exploration tenements as they reach their expiry date, though statutory mechanisms exist to extend title.
If in future tenements are not extended, Godolphin may suffer damage through loss of
8 Renewal applications have been submitted for these tenements.
18 | P a g e
the opportunity to discover and/or develop any mineral resources on these tenements.
(b) Land-Owner and Access Risk
The Company will be required to negotiate access agreements and pay compensation to the land owners, local authorities, traditional land users and others who may have an interest in the area covered by a mining tenement. The Company’s ability to resolve access and compensation issues will have an impact on the future success and financial performance of the Company’s operations. If the Company is unable to resolve such compensation claims on economic terms, this could have material adverse effect on the business, results or operations and financial condition of the Company. Access to land for exploration purposes can be affected by land ownership, nature reserves and national parks, government regulation and environmental restrictions. Access is critical for exploration and development to succeed and the ability to be able to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with landowners, farmers and occupiers is often essential.
(c) Management
The loss of one or more Directors or senior executives may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel are important to the Company's success. The number of persons skilled in the exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons is strong. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more key employees leave the Company.
(d) Limited exploration
Other than Mount Aubrey, Lewis Ponds, Yeoval, Calarie and Gundagai, the Company’s projects have been subjected to only limited historical drilling. Whilst gold and/or base metal mineralisation, as the case may be, has been located in multiple previous drill intersections, there is a risk that the mineralisation in adjacent drill holes is not continuous between drill holes. There is also a risk that the previously completed drill holes may not be representative of the overall mineralisation present. Further drill tests are required to determine if the mineralisation extends further beyond the geometry as defined in current drill patterns. To the extent that further exploration extends the Company's current resource estimates, there is no guarantee that the Company will be capable of sustaining commercial development.
(e) Resource estimates
There is a degree of uncertainty to the estimation of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves and corresponding grades being mined or dedicated to future production. Until Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves are actually mined and processed, the quantity of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves must be considered as estimates only. In addition, the grade of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves may vary depending on, among other things, metal prices. Any material change in quantity and grades of Mineral Resources, Ore Reserves, or stripping ratio may affect the economic viability of the properties. In addition, there can be no assurance that metal recoveries in small-scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production.
19 | P a g e
-
(f) Fluctuation in the prices of relevant commodities, results of drilling, metallurgical testing and the evaluation of mine plans subsequent to the date of any estimate may require revision of such estimate. Any material reductions in estimates of Mineral Resources and / or Ore Reserves, could have a material adverse effect on Company's financial condition.
-
(g) Exploration and Operating Risks
The business of mineral exploration, project development and mining by its nature contains elements of significant risk. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:
-
(i) geological conditions;
-
(ii) limitations on activities due to seasonal or adverse weather patterns;
-
(iii) alterations to program and budgets;
-
(iv) unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in geophysical surveys, drilling, metallurgical laboratory work and production activities;
-
(v) mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, industrial and environmental accidents, acts of terrorism or political or civil unrest and other force majeure events;
-
(vi) industrial action, disputation or disruptions;
-
(vii) unavailability of transport or drilling equipment to allow access and geological and geophysical investigations;
-
(viii) unavailability of suitable laboratory facilities to complete metallurgical test-work investigations;
-
(ix) failure of metallurgical testing to determine a commercially viable product;
-
(x) shortages or unavailability of manpower or appropriately skilled manpower;
-
(xi) unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment; and
-
(xii) prevention or restriction of access by reason of inability to obtain consents or approvals.
(h) Commodity Prices
The Company's ability to proceed with the development of its mineral projects and benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control. It is anticipated that any revenues derived from mining will primarily be derived from the sale of precious and base metals. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of these commodities and the terms of any off-take agreements that the Company enters into.
Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include worldwide and regional supply and demand for the specific commodity, prevailing commodity trading terms, general world economic
20 | P a g e
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. Furthermore, some products are not traded upon terminal, liquid, commodity exchanges. There is a risk therefore that the Company may not be able to secure an attractive price for its commodity products. Environment
As a condition of the Tenements, Godolphin will be required to rehabilitate, level, regrass, reforest or contour land that has been damaged or adversely affected by exploration activities, failure to do so may render the Tenements liable to cancellation. Godolphin is also required to lodge rehabilitation security by way of cash deposit. As with all mining projects, the projects would be expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. There is a risk that owners’ rights and environmental requirements may restrict or prevent Godolphin from carrying out its exploration activities.
Godolphin intends to and has conducted its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws and industry standards. Areas disturbed by Godolphin’s activities have been and are rehabilitated as required by applicable laws.
(i) Mining Tax and Royalties
There is a risk that the Commonwealth or New South Wales Governments may seek to introduce further, or increase existing, taxes and royalties.
(j) Encumbrances on Title
Godolphin may at a future date be required to encumber part or all of its tenure to expedite future commercial transactions.
(k) Funding
At the date of this Loyalty Options Prospectus, Godolphin has no income-producing assets and will generate losses for the foreseeable future. Until it is able to develop a project and generate appropriate cashflow, Godolphin is dependent upon being able to obtain future equity or debt funding to support long term exploration, after the expenditure of the net proceeds raised under the 16 December 2019 ASX listing of Godolphin. Neither Godolphin nor any of the Directors nor any other party can provide any guarantee or assurance that if further funding is required, such funding can be raised on terms acceptable to Godolphin.
Any additional equity funding will dilute existing Shareholders. Also, no guarantee or assurance can be given as to when a project can be developed to the stage where it will generate positive cashflow. As such, a project would be dependent on many factors, for example exploration success, subsequent mine development, commissioning and operational performance.
Should it choose in future to enter joint ventures, Godolphin may not be able to earn or maintain proposed equity interests in its tenements if it fails to meet the ongoing expenditure commitments. Accordingly, Godolphin may potentially lose entitlement or rights to interests in tenements and projects where ongoing expenditure commitments are not met.
21 | P a g e
(l) Unforeseen Risks
There may be other risks which the Directors are unaware of at the time of issuing this Loyalty Options Prospectus which may impact on Godolphin and its operations, and on the valuation and performance of Godolphin’s Shares.
- (m) Contract Risk
The Company has contractual rights with third parties. The Directors are unable to predict the risk of:
-
(i) financial failure or default of a party to a contract to which the Company is a related party;
-
(ii) insolvency or managerial failure of a party to a contract to which the Company is a party;
-
(iii) activities, operations or lack thereof that jeopardise the good standing or underlying tenure to which the contract rights of the Company relate;
-
(iv) mechanical, commercial or operating failures of a party to a contract to which the Company is a party which lead to a reduction in value of the Company’s rights.
-
(n) The occurrence of such an event may result in litigation, loss or variation of the contractual rights or alterations to the plans of the Company, which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.
9.3. General Economic Risks and Business Climate Risks
Share market conditions may affect the listed securities regardless of operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(a) general economic outlook;
-
(b) movements in or outlook on interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(c) currency fluctuations;
-
(d) commodity prices;
-
(e) changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors; and
-
(f) the demand and supply for capital.
Commodity prices are influenced by physical and investment demand for those commodities. Fluctuations in commodity prices may influence individual projects in which Godolphin may have an interest.
9.4. Exploration, Development, Mining and Processing Risks
The business of mineral exploration, project development and mining by its nature contains elements of significant risk. Ultimate and continuing success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:
-
(a) the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable ore reserves;
-
(b) successful conclusions to feasibility studies;
22 | P a g e
-
(c) access to adequate capital for project development;
-
(d) design and construction of efficient mining and processing facilities within capital expenditure budgets;
-
(e) securing and maintaining title to tenements and compliance with the terms of those tenements;
-
(f) obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of exploration and mining; and
-
(g) access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.
Adverse weather conditions over a prolonged period can adversely affect exploration and mining operations and the timing of revenues.
Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, integrity of mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development and mining operations.
Mining is an industry which has become subject to increasing legislative regulation including but not limited to environmental responsibility and liability. The potential for unforeseen liability is an ever-present risk. The use and disposal of chemicals in the mining industry is under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. The introduction of new laws and regulations or changes to underlying policy may adversely impact on the operations of Godolphin.
9.5. Native Title Risks
The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognises and protects the rights and interests in Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in land and waters, according to their traditional laws and customs. There is significant uncertainty associated with Native Title in Australia and this may impact on Godolphin’s operations and future.
Native Title can be extinguished by valid grants of land or waters to people other than the Native Title holders or by valid use of land or waters. It can also be extinguished if the indigenous group has lost their connection with the relevant land or waters.
Native Title is not extinguished by the grant of mining leases, as they are not considered to be grants of exclusive possession. A valid mining lease prevails over Native Title to the extent of any inconsistency for the duration of the title.
Tenements EL 8323 “Ophir” and EL 8538 “Yeoval” overlap with a registered native title claim. The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act. This engagement could cause delays to the Company’s plans and/or the Company may incur higher than anticipated costs.
For tenements to be validly granted (or renewed) after 23 December 1996 the special ‘right to negotiate’ regime established by the Native Title Act must be followed.
It is important to note that the existence of a Native Title claim is not an indication that Native Title in fact exists to the land covered by the claim, as this is a matter ultimately determined
23 | P a g e
by the Federal Court.
A number of the Tenements contain known aboriginal heritage sites. The Company must also comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements which require heritage survey work to be undertaken ahead of the commencement of exploration and mining operations and may require heritage agreements to be entered into prior to work being undertaken. There is a risk that the negotiation of these agreements could cause delay to the Company’s plans.
There are currently no aboriginal heritage agreements or arrangements in place affecting the Tenements, though future negotiations are expected in the course of general exploration. There remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements. The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements.
9.6. COVID-19 Risks
You will have all seen the dramatic global response to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fall in commodity prices and global share markets. These events are serious, almost unprecedented, matters and naturally your Directors and management have taken steps to mitigate their impact on the business.
In terms of COVID-19, management are closely monitoring the threat in NSW. We are adopting a “best practice” approach from a health and safety and business continuity perspective and taking the necessary precautions to look after the wellbeing of our people and those we interact with. This includes strictly following all Federal and NSW Government directives and suggestions.
We are taking a proactive and staged approach to working from home. We are already fully prepared to have all our team working from home, with IT systems, hardware and processes all geared to providing remote working flexibility.
Notwithstanding the actions taken by your Directors and management, there remains uncertainty and risk about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Godolphin’s operations and future.
9.7. 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 securities 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
There can be no guarantee that there will be an active market for Shares or that the price
24 | P a g e
of Shares will increase. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of Shares on ASX at any given time. This may affect the volatility of the market price of Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less or more than the price paid under the IPO Prospectus offer.
(c)
Economic conditions
General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, 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. If activities cannot be funded, there is a risk that the tenements comprising the NSW assets may have to be surrendered or not renewed. General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company's Shares and its valuation regardless of its actual performance.

10.12. CHESS
The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System ( CHESS ). CHESS is operated by ASX Settlement Pty Ltd ( ASPL ), a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX.
Under CHESS, the Company does not issue certificates to investors. Instead, security holders will receive a statement of their holdings in the Company, including Loyalty Options issued under this Loyalty Options Prospectus. If an investor is broker sponsored, ASPL will send a CHESS statement.
The CHESS statement will set out the number of Loyalty Options issued under this Loyalty Options Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number and give the participation identification number of the sponsor.
If you are registered on the issuer sponsored sub register, your statement will be dispatched by the Company’s share registrar and will contain the number of Loyalty Options issued to you under this Loyalty Options Prospectus and your security holder reference number.
A CHESS statement or issuer sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders and Option holders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding or option holding changes. Shareholders or Option holders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.
10.13. Taxation and duty implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Shareholders or Option holders advice regarding the taxation consequences of the Company conducting the Bonus Issue under this Loyalty Options Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of Shareholders and Option holders. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders and Option holders in the Bonus Issue. Shareholders and Option holders should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Bonus Issue.
No brokerage or stamp duty is payable on the issue of the Loyalty Options under this Loyalty Options Prospectus.
10.14. Privacy
The Company collects personal information about each Shareholder and Option holder to administer their security holding in the Company.

11. Rights and Liabilities attaching to securities
11.1. Rights and liabilities attaching to Loyalty Options
The Loyalty Options are issued on the following terms and conditions:
-
(a) Each Loyalty Option entitles the holder to be issued one Share when exercised.
-
(b) The Loyalty Options are exercisable at any time on or before 24 months from issue.
-
(c) The exercise price of each Loyalty Option is $0.20 each.
-
(d) The Loyalty Options will not be quoted, so are not transferrable on ASX.
The Company will provide to each Loyalty Option holder a notice that is to be completed when exercising the Loyalty Options ( Notice of Exercise ). Loyalty Options may be exercised by the Loyalty Option holder in whole or in part by completing the Notice of Exercise and forwarding to the Company Secretary to be received prior to the expiry date. The Notice of Exercise must state the number of Loyalty Options exercised, the consequent number of Shares to be allotted and the identity of the proposed allottee. The Notice of Exercise by a Loyalty Option holder must be accompanied by payment in full for the relevant number of Shares being subscribed, being an amount of the exercise price per Share.
All Shares issued upon the exercise of the Loyalty Options will rank equally in all respects with the Company's then issued Shares. The Company will apply to the ASX for quotation of all Shares issued upon exercise of Loyalty Options.
There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Loyalty Options and the holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues or pro-rata issues of capital to Shareholders during the term of the Loyalty Options. Thereby, the Loyalty Option holder has no rights to a change in the exercise price of the Loyalty Option or a change to the number of underlying securities over which the Loyalty Option can be exercised except in the event of a bonus issue. The Company will ensure, for the purposes of determining entitlements to any issue, that Loyalty Option holders will be notified of a proposed issue after the issue is announced.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares issued upon exercise of Loyalty Options are:

The liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees on such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no member is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
- (f)
Godolphin Shareholder liability
Godolphin Shares are fully paid shares and are not subject to any calls for money by the Godolphin Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

12. Additional Information
12.1. 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 Shares underlying the Loyalty Options to be issued under this Loyalty Options Prospectus are in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus.
This Loyalty Options 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 Loyalty Options on the Company and the rights attaching to the Loyalty Options. 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 Loyalty Options 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 lodgement of the Company’s IPO Prospectus to the issue of this Loyalty Options 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 Loyalty Options Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Loyalty Options Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
-
(c) it will provide a copy of any of the following documents, free of charge, to any
35 | P a g e
person on request between the date of issue of this Loyalty Options Prospectus and the Closing Date:
-
(i) Quarterly activities and cash flow reports lodged with the ASX by the Company after the lodgement of IPO Prospectus and before the lodgement of this Loyalty Options Prospectus;
-
(ii) the half-year financial report lodged with ASIC by the Company after the lodgement of IPO Prospectus and before the lodgement of this Loyalty Options Prospectus;
-
(iii) any continuous disclosure notices given by the Company after the lodgement of the financial report referred to in paragraph (i) and before the lodgement of this Loyalty Options 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.
