As a result of the new Consolidation ratio, this figure is hereby amended to “35%”.
Resolutions 1 and 4 in the original Notice of Meeting are amended by deleting the existing Resolutions 1 and 4 and replacing those Resolutions with the following:
1. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL FOR THE ACQUISITION OF HOLIDAY PLANET PTY LTD
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass, with or without amendment, the following resolution as an ordinary resolution :
“That, subject to and conditional upon the passing of Resolutions 4, 5, and 11, for the purposes of:
-
(a) ASX Listing Rule 11.1 and for all other purposes, Shareholders approve the acquisition by the Company (or its nominee) of all the issued capital in Holiday Planet Pty Ltd in accordance with the HP Acquisition Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the HP Acquisition Agreement; and
-
(b) Section 611 (Item 7) of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes, Shareholders approve the issue of 18,750,000 Shares and 250,000 Convertible Notes (on a post-Consolidation basis) to the HP Shareholders, which may result in the HP Shareholders’ combined voting power in the Company increasing up to 35.4% (based on the proposed issue of Shares) and increasing up to 36.9% (based on conversion of their Convertible Notes);
-
and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement.”
Expert’s Report : Shareholders should carefully consider the report prepared by the Independent Expert for the purposes of the Shareholder approval required under Section 611 Item 7 of the Corporations Act. The Independent Expert’s Report comments on the fairness and reasonableness of the transactions the subject of this Resolution to the nonassociated Shareholders in the Company.
Voting Exclusion: The Company will disregard any votes cast on this Resolution by any person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity as a holder of ordinary securities, if the Resolution is passed and any associates of those persons. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form, or, it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides. As Resolutions 1, 4, 5 and 11 are interconditional, a person whose votes are disregarded on Resolutions 4, 5 and 11 will have their votes on Resolution 1 disregarded.
2. RESOLUTION 4 – CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass, with or without amendment, the following resolution as an ordinary resolution :
"That, subject to and conditional upon the passing of Resolutions 1, 5 and 11, pursuant to section 254H of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes, the issued capital of the Company be consolidated on the basis that:
-
(a) every 44 (forty four) Shares be consolidated into 1 (one) Share; and
-
(b) all Options on issue be adjusted in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.22.1,
and, where this Consolidation results in a fraction of either a Share or an Option being held, the Company be authorised to round that fraction up to the nearest whole Share or Option (as the case may be)."
Voting Exclusion: As Resolutions 1, 4, 5 and 11 are interconditional, a person whose votes are disregarded on Resolutions 1, 5 and 11 will have their votes on Resolution 4 disregarded.

ANNEXURE 2 – ADDENDUM TO THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT’S REPORT
2 December 2014
The Directors Red Gum Resources Limited Suite 9, Lester Court 759 Angas Street ADELAIDE SA 5000
Dear Sirs,
We refer to our Independent Expert’s Report (‘IER”) dated 10 October 2014 which accompanied the notice of meeting issued by Red Gum Resources Limited (“Red Gum”) on 20 October 2014 (“Notice of Meeting”) and opined on the fairness and reasonableness of the proposal for Red Gum to issue 18,750,000 fully paid ordinary shares at a deemed issue price of $0.20 each to Holiday Plant shareholders together with 250,000 convertible notes with a denominate face value of $1 per note and the payment of $750,000 in cash.
On 27 November 2014 General Meeting was held to consider those various motions. Shareholders resolved to adjourn the meeting in order for certain resolutions contained in the original Notice of General Meeting dated 17 October 2014, to be amended and to give shareholders a reasonable opportunity to consider these changes at the adjourned meeting .
Addendum to the Independent Expert’s Report
This document is an addendum to the original Independent Expert’s Report (“Original Report”) as a result of the proposed amendments to the change in the Consolidation ratio of the Company’s issue capital, which was originally a ratio of 25:1, and is now proposed to be amended to 44:1 (“Addendum”). As a result, Resolutions 1 and 4, and certain sections of the Independent Expert’s Report have been updated to reflect this change.
A Summary of the changes to the original report are set out below:
-
2.3.1 Fairness,
-
3.1 Purpose
-
9.1 Net Tangible Assets,
-
9.2 Valuation Conclusion
-
10.1 Net Tangible Assets
-
11.1 Minority Interest Value
-
12 Is the issue of shares, convertible notes and cash consideration fair; and
-
14 Conclusion
The purpose of the original report is prepared pursuant to Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act 2001 (“the Act”) and is to be included in the Notice of Meeting for Red Gum in order to assist the Shareholders in their decision as to whether or not to approve the transaction to comply with the takeover prohibition section 606 of the Corporations Act (‘Corporations Act”) which expressly prohibits the acquisition of shares by a party if that acquisition will result in that person (or someone else) holding an interest in excess of 20% or more of the issued shares of a public company, unless a formal takeover offer is made to all shareholders.
1
As at the date of our Original Report, and as at the date of this addendum, Holiday Planet does not hold any shares in Red Gum. Assuming no other shares are issued by Red Gum prior to settlement under the terms of the share sale agreement, the issue of the New Shares and Convertible Notes could increase Holiday Planet’s holding to between a maximum of 35.4% to 36.9% on the basis that there was a conversion of all Convertible Notes to shares by Holiday Planet assuming that the Company raises the minimum $3 million with no over subscription (up to a further $2 million). The following amendments are made to the original report and for convenience refer to the original report.
2.3.1 Fairness
In Section 9 we determined that the value of a Red Gum share prior to the issue of the New Shares compared to the consideration of both shares and convertible notes offered to Holiday Planet as set out below:
| Ref | Minimum **Subscription ** |
Maximum **Subscription ** |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Value of aRed Gumshare prior to Issue of the New Shares on a post consolidated basis 9.1 $0.137 $0.137 Implied value of aRed Gumshare post issue of Shares and Convertible Notes & payment of cash 10.1 $0.098 $0.112 |
The value of a Red Gum share prior to the issue of the New Shares, Convertible Notes and payment of cash is equal to or more than the value of a share after the acquisition of Holiday Planet and the subsequent capital raising. Therefore, we consider that the issue of the New Shares, Convertible Notes and payment of cash is not fair to existing shareholders

9. Valuation of Red Gum before the Proposed Transaction
9.1 Net Tangible Assets
To determine the fair market value of Red Gum before the Proposed Transaction, we have considered the NAV of Red Gum as at 30 June 2014, as set out below:
| $ | $ |
|---|---|
| NAV 2,603,451 Equity of Red Gum (control) 2,603,451 Number of ordinary shares on issue 832,000,000 Value pre consolidation $0.003 Number of shares post 44 to 1 consolidation 18,909,090 Equity value of Red Gumpershare ($) $0.137 |
In relation to the NAV of Red Gum before the Proposed Transaction we note the following:
-
We have assumed Red Gum will operate as a going concern for purposes of our assessment.
-
We have assumed that no material contingent liabilities exist as at the time of preparing this Report.
9.2 Valuation Conclusion
Based on the book value of Red Gum’s tangible assets as at 30 June 2014, Red Gum’s NAV per share pre consolidation is $0.003 cents and post consolidation is approximately 0.14 cents per share on a controlling interest basis, before the Proposed Transaction.
3
As noted previously, Red Gum’s auditor has raised concerns regarding Red Gum’s ability to operate as a going concern, and the value of assets is likely to decrease in the context of liquidation. Accordingly, adopting the book value of tangible assets is likely to be conservative for purposes of assessing the fairness of the Proposed Transaction.
10. Valuation of Red Gum after the Proposed Transaction
10.1 Net Tangible Assets
To determine the fair market value of Red Gum after the Proposed Transaction, we have considered the pro-forma NAV of Red Gum which includes the tangible assets of Holiday Planet and the cash raised as part of the transaction as at 30 June 2014, as set out below:
| Minimum **Subscription ** |
Maximum **Subscription ** |
|
|---|---|---|
| NAV Equity raised pursuant to Resolution 6 – Share Placement Equity of Red Gum (control) Equity of Holiday Planet Cash raised Total Minority interest discount Equity value of Red Gum (Minority) Less Cash Potential number of ordinary shares on issue after the Proposed Transaction Equityvalue of Red Gumper share(Minority) ($) |
2,603,451 2,603,451 1,172,858 1,172,858 3,000,000 5,000,000 |
|

||
| 54,209,091 64,209,091 0.098 0.1125 |
The potential number of shares on issue after the Proposed Transaction assumes that:
-
Resolutions 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are all approved
-
The minimum and maximum number of shares are issued at $0.20 pursuant to the share placement under resolution 6
11. Valuation of Red Gum prior to the issue of the shares, convertible notes and cash consideration.
11.1 Minority Interest Value
Red Gum’s Quoted Market Price results in the following valuation range:
| Low ($) | Midpoint ($) | High ($) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quoted Market Price Value $0.004 $0.0065 $0.009 Market Price reflecting ConsolidationofCapital $0.176 $0.286 $0.396 |
Our assessment is that a range of values for a Red Gum share based on market pricing is between $0.004 and $0.009 with a midpoint value of $0.0065, and when adjusted to reflect the consolidation, it is between $0.176 and $0.396 with a midpoint of $0.286.

12. Is the issue of shares, convertible notes and cash consideration fair?
The value of a Red Gum share prior to the issue of the Shares compared to the value per share after the acquisition:
| Ref | Minimum **Subscription ** |
Maximum **Subscription ** |
|---|---|---|
| Value ofRed GumShare after the proposed transaction $0.098 $0.112 Implied value ofRed Gumshare post issue of shares and convertiblenotes and payment ofcash $0.137 $0.137 |
We note from the table above that the value of a Red Gum share prior to the issue of the Cash Component, Shares and Convertible Notes is equal to or more than the value of shares.
14. Conclusion
We have considered the terms of the transaction including the issue of the Shares, Convertible Notes and Cash Consideration as outlined in the body of our Report and have concluded that the issue of the Shares, Convertible Notes and Cash Consideration to acquire Holiday Planet is not fair to the Shareholders of Red Gum.
For reasons set out in our original report, including section 2.3.2, section 13.4 and section 13.5 in our opinion, the change in the Consolidation ration as proposed does not affect the conclusion reached in our original report that the issue of shares, Convertible Notes and cash consideration to acquire Holiday Planet is reasonable to the Shareholders of Red Gum.
