Before applying for Shares, potential investors should carefully read the Prospectus so they can make an informed assessment of:

  • the assets and liabilities of the Company; and

  • the Company's financial position and performance and prospects.

It is important that you read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary. The Shares the subject of the Offers should be considered speculative.

Change in Nature and Scale of Activities and Re-Compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules

The Company has entered into the Acquisition Agreements pursuant to which it has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval and the satisfaction of certain other conditions, to acquire all of the issued shares in the capital of MCS and Intiga. Refer to Section 2 for information on MCS and Intiga, and Section 6.1 for further details of the terms and conditions on which the Acquisitions are to be completed.

The Acquisitions and the Public Offer will involve a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company's activities, which requires approval of Shareholders under Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules. At the General Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and approve, among other things, the Acquisitions, the issue of Shares pursuant to the Offers and the change in nature and scale of the Company's activities.

The Company must also comply with ASX requirements for re-quotation of the Shares on the Official List, which includes re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

Trading in Shares will be suspended on the morning of the day of the General Meeting. If Shareholders pass all Acquisition Resolutions, trading in Shares on ASX will be suspended until the Company satisfies the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of ASX for re-quotation of the Shares on the Official List. In the event the conditions to the Offers are not satisfied or the Company does not receive conditional approval for re-quotation of the Shares on the Official List, then the Company will not proceed with the Public Offer or the Acquisitions and will repay all Application Monies (without interest) in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside of Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus outside of Australia should seek advice on, and observe, any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Shares in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would be unlawful to issue this Prospectus.

The Shares are 'quoted securities' as defined in the Corporations Act. This is a prospectus for an offer of 'quoted securities' of the Company. Accordingly, no exposure period applies to this Prospectus.

Speculative Investment

The Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. There is no guarantee that the Shares offered under this Prospectus will make a return on the capital invested, that dividends will be paid on the Shares or that there will be an increase in the value of the Shares in the future.

Prospective investors should carefully consider whether the Shares offered under this Prospectus are an appropriate investment for them in light of their personal circumstances, including their financial and taxation position. Refer to Section 7 for details of the key risks applicable to an investment in the Company.

Privacy Statement

To apply for Shares you will be required to provide certain personal information to the Company and the Share Registry. The Company and the Share Registry will collect, hold and use your personal information in order to assess your Application, service your needs as an investor, provide facilities and services that you request and carry out appropriate administration. The Corporations Act and taxation law require some of this personal information to be collected. If you do not provide the information requested, your Application may not be able to be processed efficiently, or at all.

By submitting an Application Form, each Applicant agrees that the Company may use the information provided by an Applicant on the Application Form for the purposes detailed in this Privacy Statement and may disclose it for those purposes to the Share Registry, the Company's related bodies corporate, agents, contractors and third party service providers, including mailing houses and professional advisers, and to ASX and other 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 public 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 Shareholders) and compliance by the Company with its legal and regulatory requirements.

Forward-looking Statements

This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as "believes", "estimates", "expects', "intends", "may", "will", "would", "could", or "should" and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.

Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and management of the Company. Key risk factors associated with an investment in the Company are detailed in Section 7. These and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law.

The Company cannot and does not give assurances that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

No Forecast Financial Information

Given that the Company will only complete the Acquisitions shortly before re-quotation of the Shares on the Official List and there will be an integration period following that, there are significant uncertainties associated with forecasting future revenues and expenses of the Company. On this basis, and after considering ASIC Regulatory Guide 170, the Directors believe that reliable financial forecasts for the Company cannot be prepared, and accordingly, financial forecasts have not been included in this Prospectus.

Diagrams

Diagrams used in this Prospectus are illustrative only and may not be drawn to scale. Unless otherwise stated, all data contained in charts, graphs and tables is based on information available at the date of this Prospectus.

Currency

All financial amounts contained in this Prospectus are expressed as Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Time

All references to time in this Prospectus are references to WST, unless otherwise stated.

G. Key Risks
What are the key
risks of investing in
the Company?
Some of the key risks of investing in the Company are
detailed below. The list of risks is not exhaustive and
further details of these risks and other risks associated
with an investment in the Company are detailed in
Section 7.
In undertaking its business activities, the Company will be
exposed to risks, which include, but are not limited to:
re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing
Rules: there is a risk that the Company will not be
able to satisfy one or more of the requirements under
the Listing Rules and that its Shares will remain
suspended from quotation;
failure to renew existing contracts or win new
contracts: failure to renew existing contracts or to win
new contracts could negatively impact the Company's
financial performance;
failure
to
properly
understand
customer
requirements and customer demand: this can occur
for a variety of reasons, including a failure to
understand the scope and requirements of a contract,
a failure to assess accurately the costs of delivering
the contracted services, a failure to model the drivers
of customer demand or a failure to adhere to the
business' internal risk assessment and contracting
process guidelines. If the Company enters into low
margin contracts, the Company's revenue and
profitability could be adversely impacted;
insurance risks: the Company risks being adversely
affected by not carrying sufficient insurance or not
being able to obtain insurance on suitable items;
risk of termination or re-negotiation during the
contract term: If contract re-negotiation results in
parties entering into new contracts on terms less
favourable for the Company, or if the customer
terminates an existing contract, the Company's
revenue and profitability could be adversely impacted.
Some customers have the right to terminate contracts
at their election by the giving of 30 days' notice;
customers
may
choose
to
change
from
outsourcing to in-sourcing of services: a decline in
outsourcing of security services by customers, or an
increase in customers taking security services back in
house may adversely affect the Company's future
revenue and profitability and its prospects for growth;
reliance on key personnel: the New Businesses
currently employ a number of key personnel, in
particular, the proposed CEO and the proposed COO.
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able
to attract and retain suitably qualified personnel, and a
failure to do so could materially affect the Company's
business;

increase the cost of compliance, adversely impact the

to additional expenses or liabilities where, for example,
changes to the regulatory framework result in higher or
more onerous regulatory standards; and
contractual
risks:
the
Company's
financial
performance will depend upon performance by
counterparties to each of the agreements, of their
respective obligations in those agreements. If any
counterparty defaults, it may be necessary for the

The Company will be suspended from trading from the time of the General Meeting and will not be reinstated until the Company has satisfied the Conditions of the Offers, including re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements for requotation on the ASX.

Neither ASX nor ASIC take responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus is not taken in any way as an indication by ASX as to the merits of the Company or the Shares.

Red Gum Resources Limited PROSPECTUS 25

Subject to the conditions to the Offers being satisfied (refer to Sections 1.7 and 6.1), Shares issued pursuant to the Offers will be issued as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

Pending the issue of the Shares or refund of Application Monies pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application Monies shall be held by the Company on trust (refer to Section 1.17).

1.18 CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System ( CHESS ). ASX Settlement Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.

Electronic sub-registers means that the Company will not issue certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with holding statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The holding statements will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number (if the holder is broker sponsored) or Security Holder Reference Number (if the holder is issuer sponsored) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship. Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of Shares or Options can be transferred without having to rely on paper documentation.

Further, monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month. Security holders may request a holding statement at any other time. However, there may be a charge for such additional statements.

1.19

ASX Waivers

Listing Rule 2.1 Condition 2 provides that the issue price or sale price of all securities for which an entity seeks quotation (except options) must be at least $0.20. ASX has granted the Company a waiver from Listing Rule 2.1 Condition 2 to the extent necessary not to require the issue price of the Shares the subject of the Public Offer to be at least $0.20, on the condition that the issue price is not less than $0.05 each and Shareholders approve the issue price. Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares, the subject of the Public Offer, will be sought at the General Meeting.

The Company will therefore not be required to consolidate its capital in order to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

26

ASX has also granted the Company a waiver from Listing Rule 7.3.2 to the extent necessary to permit the Deferred Consideration Shares to be issued on a date more than 3 months after the date of the General Meeting.

2.2 Proposed Future Direction

The Directors have been mindful of the state of the Australian share market and the financing difficulties in the global junior resources sector. It has become evident that current market conditions make it difficult to raise funds to continue to explore the La Negra Project. The Board has assessed a number of opportunities to enhance Shareholder value. One of these opportunities led to the announcement of the Acquisitions on 3 August 2015. Refer to Section 6.1 for further details regarding the Acquisition Agreements.

Following Completion, the Company will assess its options regarding the La Negra Project, including divestment.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreements, the Company has called the General Meeting to seek Shareholder approval of, among other things, the Acquisition Resolutions.

2.7 Growth Initiatives of the New Businesses

Following Completion, the Company intends to focus on the following opportunities:

  • (b) offer additional complementary services such as maintenance and cleaning to its existing clients, which may occur through the future acquisition of an existing business;

  • (c) expand interstate through the identification and acquisition of suitable targets; and

  • (d) expand into regional Western Australia through opportunities in towns such as, Broome, Onslow, Port Hedland, which present higher margin contracts than those in the Perth metropolitan area.

2.8 Key Drivers of the New Businesses

The key drivers for the New Business include:

  • (a) the level of criminal activity: increased crime rates, both real and perceived, increase the demand for security services;

  • (b) demand from general insurance: demand for security services may be driven by insurance provider requirements. This demand sees increases to both residential and commercial security services where policy holders may be required to maintain a certain a level of security services under their insurance policy; and

  • (c) economic activity: the increase in economic activity drives the construction of commercial and residential properties and centres. Similarly, as disposable income increases, so does the patronage of hospitality venues and sporting events by the general population.

2.9 Key Strengths and Advantages of the New Businesses

Advantages of the New Businesses include:

  • (a) exposure to the future potential cash flows of established and profitable businesses;

  • (b) in the current market environment there is a greater likelihood of restoring Shareholder value by changing the nature of the Company's business to focus on the security industry rather than remaining a junior mineral explorer;

  • (c) the potential increase in market capitalization of the Company, following Completion, may lead to increased coverage from investment analysts, access to improved equity capital market opportunities and increased liquidity; and

Red Gum Resources Limited PROSPECTUS 33

  • (d) reduced foreign exchange exposure by divesting foreign projects in favour of local businesses that deal in Australian dollars.

3. Industry Overview

3.1

Market Overview

The Company defines the security personnel industry as all guards, patrol services and crowd control services not provided by governmental departments such as police and fire departments.

The industry has relatively low barriers to entry given the low degree of skill or formal qualifications required by guards. These low barriers to entry have likely contributed to a lack of concentration in the industry where only three suppliers of security personnel services are estimated to have achieved more than 5% of market share – together accounting for less than 20% of market share. SIS Australia Holdings Pty Ltd (operating as MSS Security) holds approximately 6.7% of the market, followed by Linfox Properties Limited with 6.5% and Wilson Parking Australia 1992 Pty Ltd with 5.4%. This sees 81% of the market held by companies with less than 5% market share (IBISWorld Industry Report 07712, "Investigation and Security Services in Australia", May 2015).

3.2 Regulatory Environment

The security industry is a highly regulated industry. In order for the Company to operate as a security company, it requires, as a minimum, a commercial agent's licence. MCS and Intiga hold commercial agent's licences and have been granted, and maintain, a number of additional licences which enable them to provide the following:

  • (a) security officers;

  • (b) security bodyguards;

  • (c) security consultants;

  • (d) security installers; or

  • (e) security crowd controllers.

Security companies in Western Australia are required to comply with the following legislation:

  • (a) Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996; and

  • (b) Security and Related Activities (Control) Regulations 1997.

As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

Red Gum Resources Limited PROSPECTUS 37

The Company's main corporate governance policies and practices as at the date of this Prospectus are outlined below. All of the Company's corporate governance policies, together with a copy of the Constitution, are available on the Company's website www.redgumresources.com.au.

  • (ii) the principal criterion for the appointment of new director is their ability to add value to the Company and its business.

The policy generally provides that the written acknowledgement of the Chairman (or the Board in the case of the Chairman) must be obtained prior to trading.

Shareholders in general meetings are responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board, from time to time, will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.

  • (d) From Completion, the Company will be responsible for the entitlements of the employees of MCS and Intiga accruing from Completion, and indemnifies and holds MCS and Intiga harmless from all claims in respect of the employees from Completion. The Company will be responsible for acquiring the entitlements of guards of MCS at Completion ( Guards' Entitlements ), up to a maximum of $200,000 ( Guards' Entitlement Threshold ).

  • (i) the income;

  • (ii) the profits; and

  • (iii) the liabilities of,

each of MCS and Intiga as at Completion and to ensure that, as at Completion, neither MCS nor Intiga had any amounts owing to third parties ( Reconciliation Accounts ).

The Company is then required to agree the Reconciliation Accounts with the MCS Shareholders in respect of MCS ( MCS Reconciliation Accounts ) and with Mr John Boardman in respect of Intiga ( Intiga Reconciliation Accounts ).

To the extent that the MCS Reconciliation Accounts indicate that there is a surplus of MCS Retained Cash (as a result of the MCS Retained Cash exceeding the liabilities or other amounts owing by MCS to third parties as at Completion), the Company shall pay the surplus amount to the MCS Shareholders in equal proportions to the nominated bank accounts of the MCS Shareholders. To the extent that the MCS Reconciliation Accounts indicate that there is insufficient MCS Retained Cash (as a result of the MCS Retained Cash being insufficient to satisfy the amount of liabilities or other amounts owing by MCS to third parties as at Completion), the MCS Shareholders are jointly and severally liable to pay the amount of the shortfall to the nominated bank account of the Company.

To the extent that the Intiga Reconciliation Accounts indicate that there is a surplus of Intiga Retained Cash (as a result of the Intiga Retained Cash exceeding the liabilities or other amounts owing by Intiga to third parties as at Completion), the Company shall pay the surplus amount to the nominated bank account of Mr John Boardman. To the extent that the Intiga Reconciliation Accounts indicate that there is insufficient Intiga Retained Cash (as a result of the Intiga Retained Cash being insufficient to satisfy the amount of liabilities or other amounts owing by Intiga to third parties as at Completion), Mr John Boardman is liable to pay the amount of the shortfall to the nominated bank account of the Company.

In addition to Mr Boardman's obligation to indemnify the Company in respect of any insufficiency of Retained Cash, Mr Boardman has provided an indemnity in favour of the Company and Intiga in respect of certain contingent liabilities (whether insured or uninsured) which the Company presently estimates to be approximately $150,000. Should the Company's estimate of the value of these contingent liabilities change, it will update the market.

(i) The MCS Shareholders and Mr John Boardman have provided customary warranties in relation to MCS and Intiga, respectively.

  • (i) by agreement in writing; or

  • (ii) where the Conditions have not been satisfied (or waived) by the End Date.

Either the MCS Shareholders or the Company ( Non-Defaulting Party ) may terminate the MCS Acquisition Agreement if:

  • (i) the other party ( Defaulting Party ) fails to perform and comply, in all material respects, with its obligations under the MCS Acquisition Agreement; or

  • (ii) the Defaulting Party fails to deliver all documents and instruments required to be delivered at Completion or fails to perform all of its obligations at Completion,

The Intiga Acquisition Agreement may be terminated by Mr John Boardman and the Company:

  • (i) by agreement in writing; or

  • (ii) the Defaulting Party fails to deliver all documents and instruments required to be delivered at Completion or fails to perform all of its obligations at Completion,

but only where the Defaulting Party does not remedy any such failure within 10 business days of the Non-Defaulting Party giving the Defaulting Party written notice setting out details of the specific failure to perform, comply or deliver.

  • (k) The MCS Shareholders and Mr John Boardman have provided certain indemnities in favour of the Company in respect of certain tax liabilities, losses arising from breach of warranty, losses relating to litigation in respect of an event occurring prior to completion and losses resulting from the material amendment, or termination, of client contracts prior to Completion.

  • (l) The Company is obliged to reimburse MCS and Intiga for the costs of their respective audits in respect of the financial years ended 30 June 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

officer of the Company. The Company will also be required to maintain insurance policies for the benefit of the Directors, as well as existing Directors and must also allow the Proposed Directors to inspect Board papers in certain circumstances.

76

7. Risk Factors

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend that potential investors consult their professional advisers and consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

The below list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by Shareholders. The proposed future activities of the Company are subject to a number of risks and other factors which may impact its future performance. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate controls. However, many of the risks are outside the control of the Company or the Directors and cannot be mitigated.

7.1

Specific Risks.

(a) Conditional Acquisitions and Re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules

As part of the Company's change in nature and scale of activities, ASX will require the Company to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. A Prospectus will be issued to assist the Company to re-comply with these requirements. The Shares will be suspended from the date of the Meeting. It is anticipated that the Shares will remain suspended until Completion, recompliance by the Company with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and compliance with any further conditions ASX imposes on such reinstatement. There is a risk that the Company will not be able to satisfy one or more of those requirements and that its Shares will consequently remain suspended from quotation.

Further, if any of the Conditions are not satisfied (or waived), the Acquisitions will not proceed.

(b) Failure to renew existing contracts or win new contracts

The Company's and the New Businesses' ability to renew contracts with existing customers and win new contracts with existing and new customers is fundamental to the Company's business, growth and profitability. The Company will face competition in the security industry following Completion. New contracts, including contracts entered into with an existing customer where a previous contract has expired, are usually subject to a competitive process. There is a risk that the Company and the New Businesses may not win these contracts for any of a number of reasons. These include, for example:

  • (i) lower pricing from competitors;

  • (ii) increased competition;

  • (iii) the Company's inability to differentiate its services and to market them effectively;

  • (iv) the Company's failure to maintain the quality or efficiency of its service offerings or to anticipate, identify or react to changes in customer preferences or requirements;

Red Gum Resources Limited PROSPECTUS 77

  • (v) the Company's failure to react to new developments in service delivery technology; and

  • (vi) negative perceptions adversely affecting the Company's brand and reputation as a result of the eventuation of some of the other risk factors listed in this Section 7.

Failure to successfully renew existing contracts or to win new contracts could negatively impact the Company's financial performance, including, in the case of a failure to retain an existing customer of the New Businesses, by leaving the Company with excess capacity or redundancy costs, and adversely impact its ability to grow its operations.

(c) Failure to properly understand customer requirements and customer demand

A large number of the New Businesses' material contracts are long term contracts, and many are not able to be terminated by the New Businesses unless the customer is in breach. The Company and New Businesses may from time to time enter into contracts where the agreed revenue is insufficient to cover the costs of delivering the security services or to provide adequate profit margins. This can occur for a number of reasons, including a failure to properly understand the scope and requirements of a contract, a failure to assess accurately the costs of delivering the contracted services, a failure to properly model the drivers of customer demand or a failure to adhere to the business' internal risk assessment and contracting process guidelines. The risk of such failures occurring may increase as the Company seeks to expand its services into new markets. If the Company enters into low margin contracts, the Company's revenue and profitability could be adversely impacted.

(d) Risks associated with increased staff numbers

An increase in the number of New Businesses' contracts may result in an increase in the number of contracted and employed staff of the Company. This greater number of staff could result in a greater risk of worker's compensation claims made against the Company. The increased risk of these claims may also result in a disproportionate increase in the Company’s insurance premiums. Accordingly, the increased costs associated with a greater number of worker's compensation claims and heightened insurance premiums may result in a decrease in the Company’s profitability.

(e) Failure to comply with regulations including workplace health and safety obligations

The New Businesses operate in Australia and are subject to Australian laws and regulations, including with respect to health and safety. Additional or amended laws and regulations may increase the cost of compliance, adversely impact the Company's ability to comply, or expose the Company to additional expenses or liabilities where, for example, changes to the regulatory framework result in higher or more onerous regulatory standards.

(f) Failure to manage working capital may negatively impact the Company

At any point in time, the Company will hold a significant level of trade receivables, and will therefore be exposed to the risk that it may not be able to collect the full

78

value of its trade receivables if the creditworthiness of its individual customers were to deteriorate. While the concentration of the New Businesses' credit risk is limited as a result of the diversity of its customer base, an economic downturn could affect the solvency of customers, which in turn could adversely affect the Company's revenue and profitability and result in losses.

Similarly, the Company must ensure that trade payables are maintained at appropriate levels over time and that its key suppliers are paid within reasonable periods. Any misalignment between the movement in receivables and payables could significantly impact the Company’s cash position.

(g)

Public liability exposure

An increase in the number of the New Businesses' customers or contracts may result in an increase in the number of locations where the Company operates and the number of members of the general public that are likely to interact with the Company and its staff. This increases the potential for public liability claims made against the Company and may result in a disproportionate increase in the Company’s insurance premiums. The increased costs associated with a greater number of public liability claims and heightened insurance premiums may result in a decrease in the Company’s profitability.

(h)

Deregulation of Industry

Governmental changes in policy may occur whereby the industry becomes deregulated and the licences that the New Businesses maintain are no longer required. This may result in a significant decline in the barriers to entry of the industry and may result in increased competition and a reduction in margins, which may lead to a reduction in the Company's profitability.

(i)

Insurance risks

Whilst the Company will endeavour to maintain appropriate insurances for the New Businesses, there is no guarantee that such insurances will be available to the Company at economically viable premiums (or potentially at all). Further, in the event of claim, there can be no guarantee that the level of insurance held by the Company will be sufficient. As a result, the Company risks being adversely affected by not carrying sufficient insurance or not being able to obtain insurance on suitable terms.

(j) Risk of termination or renegotiation during the contract term

Some customers have a right to terminate contracts on 30 days' notice at the clients election. Other contracts may be terminated where a party acquires control of MCS or Intiga (as the case may be), or where MCS or Intiga (as the case may be) is in material breach of the contract. In addition, contracts with government entities customarily contain a right for the customer to terminate for convenience. Termination of the New Businesses' services by a customer before the end of a contract's term will reduce the Company's future revenue and, in some situations, may leave the Company with excess capacity or excess labour or redundancy costs. Upon termination, the Company may not receive adequate compensation, or any compensation, for such losses and costs.

From time to time, customers may seek to renegotiate existing contracts for various reasons during the term of the contract. To the extent such customers

Red Gum Resources Limited PROSPECTUS 79

have a right to terminate a contract (for convenience or otherwise), they may seek to use this right as leverage in the renegotiation process. Although the frequency of contract renegotiations has historically been low, the frequency of contract renegotiations may increase in the future. If contract renegotiations lead to the parties entering into new contracts on terms less favourable to the Company, or if the parties fail to reach an agreement and the customer terminates the existing contract, the Company's revenue and profitability could be adversely impacted. The Company may have potential liabilities for redundancies and other liabilities as a consequence of any contracts that are renegotiated or terminated before they would otherwise expire.

(k) Customers may choose to change from outsourcing to in-sourcing of services

The Company's and the New Businesses' financial performance depends on customers continuing to outsource security services. The Company's anticipated future growth depends in part on security services being outsourced in the future. A reduction in outsourcing may result from a variety of factors, including changing economic conditions or industry trends, changes in the specific strategies of customers or poor performance by outsourced service providers. A decline in outsourcing of security services by customers, or an increase in customers taking security services back in-house ("in-sourcing") may adversely affect the Company's future revenue and profitability and its prospects for growth.

(l) Reliance on key personnel

The Company and New Businesses currently employ a number of key management and personnel, and the Company's future depends on retaining and attracting suitably qualified personnel.

In particular, Mr Paul Simmons and Mr John Boardman will be crucial to the Company in their respective roles as CEO and COO, and, as the founders of the New Businesses, they have valuable relationships with customers.

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to attract and retain suitably qualified personnel, and a failure to do so could materially adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and financial prospects.

(m) Licence risk

The New Businesses rely on the grant and maintenance of a Commercial Agent’s Licence, Crowd Control Licence, Investigator's Licence, Inquiry Agent's Licence, Security Consultant's Licence and a Security Agent's Licence (together the Licences ). The Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996 (WA) provides that these Licences can only be issued to a natural person. While a natural person may hold the Licences on behalf of a body corporate if they are an officer of the body, the Licences terminate automatically (and are non-transferable) if the person ceases to be an officer of the body corporate. The Licences are currently held by Paul Simmons in relation to MCS and Gary Hodgson in relation to Intiga.

If Mr Paul Simmons or Mr Gary Hodgson cease to be involved with MCS or Intiga (as the case may be), a new officer approved to hold the relevant Licences will be required in order to operate the relevant business. If a new Licence holder is required, there is a risk that delays could occur in the approval of a new Licence holder which, if protracted, could result in the New Businesses experiencing

80

business interruption until such time as appropriate Licences are granted to a new holder.

(n) Competition

The New Businesses operate in markets with established competitors and no assurance can be given that the actions of existing or future competitors will not have a material adverse effect on the businesses operations or financial condition. The market for security services is highly competitive and the New Businesses' ability to compete will in part depend on its ability to provide quality services.

(o) Contractual risk

The New Businesses have a significant dependence on counterparties and their ability to meet their contractual obligations pursuant to the agreements and arrangements entered into with the New Businesses.

The Company's financial performance will depend upon the performance of counterparties, to each of the agreements to provide security services, of their respective obligations in those agreements. If any counterparty defaults, it may be necessary for the Company to seek legal remedy in court. Legal action can be costly and there is no guarantee that a legal remedy will be granted on appropriate terms or at all.

7.2 General Risks

(a) Securities investments

There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the Shares trade on the Official List may fluctuate in response to a number of factors including:

  • (i) the recruitment or departure of key personnel;

  • (ii) actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts;

  • (iii) variations in the Company’s financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to the Company including changes caused by changes in financial accounting standards or practices or taxation rules or practices;

  • (iv) announcements regarding litigation or other proceedings that involve the Company;

  • (v) war or acts of terrorism or catastrophic disasters that disrupt world trade or adversely affect confidence in financial markets;

  • (vi) other general economic, industry and market conditions; and

  • (vii) other factors described in this Section 7.

Red Gum Resources Limited PROSPECTUS 81

(b) Share market conditions

The market price of the Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(c)

Liquidity risk

There is no guarantee that there will be an ongoing liquid market for the Shares. Accordingly, there is a risk that, should the market for the Shares become illiquid, Shareholders will be unable to realise their investment in the Company.

(d)

Economic risk

Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates and supply and demand of capital have an impact on business costs and stock market prices. The Company’s operating costs, possible future revenues and future profitability can be affected by these factors which are beyond the control of the Company.

(e) Insurance

The Company will, where possible and economically practicable, endeavour to mitigate some business risks by procuring relevant insurance coverage. However, such insurance coverage may not always be available or economically justifiable and the policy provisions and exclusions may render a particular claim by the Company outside the scope of the insurance coverage.

(f)

Taxation

There is the potential for changes to tax laws and changes in the way tax laws are interpreted. Any change to the current rates of taxes imposed on the Company is likely to affect returns to Shareholders.

The Company obtains external expert advice on the application of the tax laws to its operations. An interpretation of taxation laws by a revenue authority that is contrary to the Company's interpretation of those laws may increase the amount of tax to be paid.

In addition, an investment in the Shares involves tax considerations which may differ for each Shareholder. Each prospective Shareholder is encouraged to seek professional tax advice in connection with any investment in the Company.

(g)

Policies and legislation

The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments, and the decisions of courts and tribunals, can impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of the Company.

Any adverse developments in political and regulatory conditions could materially affect the Company’s prospects. Political changes, such as changes in both monetary and fiscal policies, expropriation, methods and rates of taxation and currency exchange controls may impact the performance of the Company as a whole.

82

7.3 Investment Speculation

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as an exhaustive list 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 offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

8. Rights Attaching to Securities and Summaries of the Executive Share Plan and Employee Option Plan

8.1 Rights attaching to Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus. 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.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy or attorney to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of shareholders:

  • (i) each shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy or attorney;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a shareholder or a representative of a shareholder has one vote in respect of each share carrying the right to vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a shareholder shall, in respect of each share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price for the share.

(c) Dividend rights

The Directors alone may declare a dividend to be paid to shareholders. The dividend is payable at a time determined in the directors' discretion. No dividend may be declared or paid except as allowed by the Corporations Act. No interest is payable in respect of unpaid dividends. The Directors may set aside the Company's profit any amount that they consider appropriate. This amount may be used in any way that profits can be used, and can be invested or used in the Company's business in the interim.

84

(d) Winding-up

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 the purpose set such value as he considers fair 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.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is liability.

(e) Shareholder liability

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

(f)

Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

(g) Variation of rights

Pursuant to Section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(h)

Alteration of 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. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

Red Gum Resources Limited PROSPECTUS 85

8.2 Summary of the Executive Share Plan

Information about the Executive Share Plan is set out below.

(a) Participation

Carefully designed, performance linked, equity plans are widely considered to be effective in providing long term incentives to executives. They are also used to attract and retain the executives by providing them with the opportunity to participate in the creation of a valuable personal asset – a financial stake in the Company.

As part of the Company's strategy, the Board wishes to be in a position to grant Shares under the Executive Share Plan to the Executives to achieve the objectives outlined above.

(b) Overview of the Executive Share Plan and terms and conditions

The Board is aware of general Shareholder concern that long-term equity based rewards for Executives should be linked to achievements by the Company. Accordingly, the Shares under the Executive Share Plan will only be issued upon the satisfaction of certain performance conditions.

The main features of the Executive Share Plan are summarised as follows:

  • (i) Eligible Executive: The Company may from time to time make an invitation to an Executive of the Company.

  • (ii) Invitation: Each invitation to an eligible Executive must be in writing and must specify the number of Shares being offered, the subscription price (if any), the manner in which the subscription price is to be paid, and the date by which the invitation must be accepted, the performance conditions, and other matters required under the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or any regulatory instrument issued by ASIC.

  • (iii) Excluded Information : If the Shares under the Executive Share Plan are not issued in reliance of an applicable ASIC class order, the issue of the Shares must be postponed until such time as any excluded information in respect of the Company (as defined in section 708A(7) of the Corporations Act) ceases to be excluded information and the Company shall upon the issue of the Shares give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)can of the Corporations Act or lodge a prospectus with ASIC that qualifies the Shares for resale under section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.

8.3 Summary of the Employee Option Plan

Information about the Employee Option Plan is set out below.

(a) Participation

Carefully designed, performance linked, equity plans are widely considered to be effective in providing long term incentives to staff. They are also used to attract and retain staff by providing them with the opportunity to participate in the creation of a valuable personal asset – a financial stake in the Company.

As part of the Company's strategy, the Board wishes to be in a position to grant Employee Options under the Employee Option Plan to employees (excluding Directors) to achieve the objectives outlined above. An Employee Option is a right to subscribe for a Share during the exercise period, subject to the satisfaction of any additional Exercise Conditions that are attached to the Employee Option, as determined by the Board.

(b) Overview of the Employee Option Plan and terms and conditions

The Board is aware of general Shareholder concern that long-term equity based rewards for staff should be linked to achievements by the Company. Employee Options granted under the Employee Option Plan to eligible participants may be subject to Exercise Conditions as determined by the Board from time to time. The Exercise Conditions must be satisfied in order for the Employee Options to be exercisable. Upon Employee Options being duly exercised, Shares are issued or transferred to the participant in accordance with the Employee Option Plan.

Red Gum Resources Limited PROSPECTUS 87

The Board considers the Employee Option Plan a crucial mechanism to encourage and retain high level executive and employee performance. The Board intends to implement the Employee Option Plan, and set the Exercise Conditions, in a manner designed to incentivise and reward high level executive and employee performance.

The main features of the Employee Option Plan are summarised as follows:

  • (i) Eligible Participants: The eligible participants under the Employee Option Plan are the employees and the contractors of the Company ( Eligible Employees ).

  • (ii) Limits on Entitlement: An offer of Employee Options may only be made under the Employee Option Plan if the number of Shares that may be acquired on exercise of those Employee Options, when aggregated with:

  • (A) the number of Shares which would be issued if each outstanding offer, right or option to acquire unissued Shares, being an offer made or right or option acquired pursuant to the Employee Option Plan or any other incentive scheme, was to be accepted or exercised (as the case may be); or

  • (B) the number of Shares issued during the previous 3 years pursuant to the Employee Option Plan or any other incentive scheme,

but disregarding an offer made or Employee Option acquired or Share issued by way of or as a result of:

  • (A) an offer to a person situated at the time or receipt of the offer outside of Australia;

  • (B) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act; or

  • (C) an offer made under a disclosure document,

must not exceed 10% (or such other maximum number permitted under any ASIC class order providing relief from the disclosure regime of the Corporations Act) of the total number of issued Shares as at the time of the offer. For the avoidance of doubt, where an Employee Option lapses without being exercised, the Shares concerned shall be excluded from the calculation.

  • (iii) Consideration Payable: Employee Options will be issued for no consideration but may have an Exercise Price payable by the Eligible Employee at the time of exercise.

  • (iv) Offer and Exercise Conditions: The Employee Options issued under the Employee Option Plan to Eligible Employees may be subject to Exercise Conditions, determined by the Board from time to time and expressed in a written offer letter made by the Company to the Eligible Employee which is subject to acceptance by the Eligible Employee

88

within a specified period. The Board in its absolute discretion determines whether Exercise Conditions have been met.

  • (v) Expiry Date & Lapse: Employee Options will have such expiry date, being the last exercise date, as the Board may determine in its absolute discretion and specify in the offer letter. Irrespective of whether an Exercise Condition of an Employee Option has been achieved, any Employee Options which have not been exercised by the expiry date will lapse.

  • (vi) Retirement, Disability, Redundancy, Death or Removal as a Director: Under the Employee Option Plan, upon total and permanent disability, redundancy, death of a participant, or any other circumstances as the Board may determine, then in respect of those Employee Options which have not lapsed, the Board may at its discretion bring forward the first exercise date and waive or vary any Exercise Conditions in regard to the Employee Option.

  • (vii) Assignment: The offer letter is personal to the Eligible Employee and the Eligible Employee may not in whole or in part assign, transfer or in any other manner, deal with the offer letter.

  • (viii) Takeover Bid or Change of Control: All Employee Options automatically vest if:

  • (A) a takeover bid (as defined in the Corporations Act) for the Company’s issued Shares is made and the bidder obtains voting power (as defined in the Corporations Act) in the Company of 50% or more and the takeover offers are made or declared unconditional (which includes where the takeover offers are unconditional other than for the happening of the events or circumstances set out in section 652C(1) and (2) of the Corporations Act or the condition set out in section 625(3) of the Corporations Act);

  • (B) the Company announces that Shareholders have at a Court convened meeting of Shareholders voted in favour, by the necessary majority, of a proposed scheme of arrangement (excluding a merger by way of scheme of arrangement for the purposes of a corporate restructure (including change of domicile, consolidation, sub division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company) and the Court, by order, approves the scheme of arrangement under section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act; or

  • (C) an event or transaction by which an entity obtains or is to obtain voting power (as defined in the Corporations Act) in the Company of 50% or more is approved or accepted by a majority of members of the Company.

  • (ix) New Issues: Eligible Employees are not entitled to participate in any new issue to existing holders of Shares, unless they have become entitled to exercised their Employee Options and they do so before the record date for the determination of entitlements to the new issue of Shares and participate as a result of being Shareholders.

Red Gum Resources Limited PROSPECTUS 89

  • (x)

  • Pro Rata Issue of Shares: If, during the term of any Employee Options, the Company makes a pro rata issue of Shares to the Shareholder, and no Share has been issued in respect of an Employee Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, the Exercise Price of the Employee Option may be reduced by the Board.

  • (xi) Bonus Issue: If, during the term of any Employee Options, the Company completes a bonus issue, the number of Shares each Employee Options holder is then entitled, shall be increased by that number of securities which the holder would have been issued if the Employee Options then held by the holder were exercised immediately prior to the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (xii) No Conferred Rights: The Employee Option Plan:

  • (A) does not confer on an employee of the Company the right to receive an offer letter;

  • (B) does not confer on an employee of the Company the right to continue as an employee;

  • (C) do not affect the rights which the Company or any of its subsidiaries may have to terminate the Eligible Employee's employment;

  • (D) may not be used to increase damages in an action brought against the Company or any of its subsidiaries in respect of that termination; and

  • (E) does not confer any voting rights to an Eligible Employee, rights to dividends or any other form of benefit prior to the Employee Options being exercised.

  • (xiii) Amendment: The Board may amend the Employee Option Plan at any time, subject to consent requirements and the Listing Rules to the extent any such amendment would adversely affect the rights of holders of existing Employee Options.
