Part A: Letter to Shareholders
20 October 2015
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf the Board of Directors I warmly invite you to attend Red Gum’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on Thursday, 26 November 2015.
Shareholders will be aware that there is a general meeting scheduled for 28 October 2015 for the purpose of considering several resolutions (including a change of name) pursuant to the proposed change of business for the Company from resources based to security businesses (“Transaction”). In addition, by the time you receive this AGM Notice of Meeting, the Company will have issued a recompliance prospectus for the purposes of satisfying Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and to satisfy ASX’s requirements for re-quotation of the Shares on the Official List, following a change to the nature and scale of the Company’s activities, plus a fund raising.
It is expected that, subject to approval of the required resolutions at the general meeting on 28 October 2015, and a satisfactory fund raising pursuant to the re-compliance prospectus, completion of the Transaction will have been achieved prior to the date of this AGM, and the name of the Company will have been changed to MCS Services Limited. The resolutions to be considered at the general meeting and the change of name will not have any impact on the business of this AGM as none of the AGM resolutions are related to the change of business.
Yours faithfully

Resolution 1 - Adoption of the Remuneration Report - as an ordinary resolution
The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2015 contains a Remuneration Report (commencing at page 8 of the Annual Report) which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and Executives.
The Corporations Act (under section 250R(2)) requires the agenda for the Annual General Meeting to include a resolution for the adoption of the Remuneration Report. The vote on the resolution is advisory only and is not binding on the Directors or the Company. However, under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.
The Remuneration Report:
-
(a) describes the policy behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the link between the remuneration of employees and the Company’s performance;
-
(b) sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for each Director and for certain members of the senior management team; and
-
(c) explains the differences between the basis for remunerating Non-Executive Directors and executives of the Company.
A reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report will be provided at the meeting.
The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend to all Members that they vote in favour of this Resolution.
Red Gum Resources Pty Ltd ACN 119 641 986
Resolution 2 - Election of Mr Josh R Puckridge as a Director of the Company - as an ordinary resolution

Mr Josh R Puckridge was appointed as a Director on 27 May 2015, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director of the Company. Details of his qualifications and experience are set out below.
The Chairman of the Meeting will be casting undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. All Directors of the Company will be voting in favour of this Resolution and unanimously recommend that all Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
