$\overline{2}$ CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
Dear Shareholder
By now you will be well aware that your Board is recommending to you for your approval the transaction that has been negotiated between the Deed Administrator of Navigator Resources Ltd (subject to a deed of company arrangement) to acquire the entire issued share capital of Navigator Mining Pty Ltd.
The proposed acquisition represents a significant opportunity for the Company to increase the scale of its activities in a difficult international financial market for resources. The simple fact is that in any other market the Company would not be in a position to even entertain such an acquisition. The synergies with the existing holdings the Company has in the district was the compelling factor to complement and set the Company on an immediate growth trajectory.
You will know that your management team is not a "steady as you go" type of team. Capital markets have been difficult and opportunities are increasing. The Board and Management are reluctant to sit on their hands and wait for the situation to change. The time to strike and add value for the future is in this exact market.
We know that these assets have had significant money spent by their predecessors to the tune of over \$20,000,000 over 7 years. The work performed by them has created an enormous advantage for the Company to leap forward and take the project into production.
The Company has engaged Independent Geological Consultants Optiro Pty Ltd to provide a current Independent Valuation of the Leonora Gold Project. Optiro's opinion of the fair market value of the mineral resources and exploration potential of the Leonora Gold Project is that it lies within the range of \$3.8 million to \$14.5 million, with a preferred value of \$8.5 million.
Based on all the information the Board has reviewed and accessed via the due diligence process we can confirm that the Leonora Gold Project is a valuable asset with an established gold inventory which we can acquire at an extremely attractive price. The Independent Valuation confirms this.
Text.
On behalf of Kin Mining N.L., I am pleased to invite you to participate in the 1 for 1 non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer at an issue price of \$0.15 per New Share to raise up to approximately \$5.8 million (before costs).
Yours faithfully
Terrence Grammer Chairman

The Company has called a general meeting of Shareholders to be held on the $4th$ of July 2014 to consider a resolution approving the Leonora Gold Project Transaction.
Upon completion of the Leonora Gold Project Transaction, the Company will undertake a review of all the mineral resources on the Leonora Gold Project with the view to commencing a feasibility study.
$4.2$ The Offer
Under this Prospectus up to 38,653,003 New Shares are being offered to Eligible Shareholders (assuming no Options are exercised) at an issue price of \$0.15 on the basis of 1 New Share for every 1 Share held. The Offer is not underwritten.

5 RISK FACTORS
An investment in the New Shares the subject of this Prospectus is highly speculative as the Company is a gold exploration company. Please consider the risks described below and the information contained in other sections of this Prospectus. You should also consider consulting with your professional advisers before deciding whether or not to apply for the New Shares.
The following is a list of the material risks that may affect the financial position of the Company, the value of an investment in the Company, as well as the Company's operations.
$5.1$ Company and Industry Risks
The risks outlined below are specific to the Company's operations and to the gold industry in which the Company operates.
Exploration $(a)$
The business of gold exploration, project development and production, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on, amongst other things:
- $(a)$ the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;
- $(b)$ access to adequate capital for project development;
- $(c)$ design and construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital expenditure budgets;
- $(d)$ securing and maintaining title to interests;
- obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of gold exploration, development $(e)$ and production; and
- $(f)$ access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.
Exploration is a high risk undertaking, The Company does not give any assurance that exploration of its existing Projects or the Leonora Gold Project will result in the delineation or discovery of a significant mineral resource. Even if a significant mineral resource is identified, there can be no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
$(b)$ Resource and Reserve Estimates
The Company has previously announced resource estimates in relation to the Leonora Gold Project prepared by Navigator Mining. Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made.
Additionally, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. If the Company encounters mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company's operations.
$(c)$ Gold and Other Commodity Prices
As an explorer for gold and potentially other minerals, any earnings of the Company are expected to be closely related to the price of gold and other commodities.
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 commodities, general world economic 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.
$(d)$ Ability to Exploit Successful Discoveries
It may not always be possible for the Company to participate in the exploitation of successful discoveries made in areas in which the Company has an interest. Such exploitation will involve the need to obtain the necessary licences or clearances from the relevant authorities, which may require conditions to be satisfied and/or the exercise of discretions by such authorities. It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied. The infrastructure requirements around a successful discovery may also impact on the exploitation of a discovery. Further, the decision to proceed to further exploitation may require the participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as the Company. As described above, such work may require the Company to meet or commit to financing obligations for which it may have not planned.
$(e)$ Future capital needs and additional funding
The funds raised by the Offer will primarily be used to fund the acquisition of the Leonora Gold Project. There is a risk that these funds will not be sufficient to provide sufficient working capital to maintain the tenements, complete the proposed exploration program and undertake feasibility studies.
The Company's ability to raise further capital (equity or debt) within an acceptable time, of a sufficient amount and on terms acceptable to the Company will vary according to a number of factors, including prospectivity of projects, the results of exploration, subsequent feasibility studies, development and mining, stock market and industry conditions and the price of relevant commodities and exchange rates.
No assurance can be given that future funding will be available to the Company on favourable terms (or at all). If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms the Company may not be able to further develop its projects and it may impact on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
$(f)$ Environmental
The Company's Projects are subject to rules and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mineral projects, the Company's Projects are expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. Development of any of the Company's Projects will be dependent on the Company satisfying environmental guidelines and, where required, being approved by government authorities.
The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, but may still be subject to accidents or other unforeseen events which may compromise its environmental performance and which may have adverse financial implications.
$5.2$ 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 stock market, and in particular the market for exploration and gold 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.
Liquidity Risk $(b)$
The market for the Company's Shares may be illiquid. As a consequence investors may be unable to readily exit or realise their investment.
$(c)$ Economic Risk
Changes in both Australia and world economic conditions may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, industrial disruption and economic growth may impact on future operations and earnings.

$6.2$ Entitlement to Offer
The Offer is made to Eligible Shareholders, who are those Shareholders that:
- $(a)$ are the registered holder of Shares as at 5pm (WST) on the Record Date;
- $(b)$ have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand;
- subject to certain limited exceptions, are not in the United States or a US Person or acting for $(c)$ the account or benefit of a US Person (to that extent); and
- $(d)$ are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under this Prospectus.
or, in the Company's absolute discretion, they are persons resident in any other country who are reasonably able to demonstrate to the Company that they are otherwise eligible to participate in the Offer relying on a relevant exemption from, or are not otherwise subject to, the lodgement, filing, registration or other requirements of any applicable securities laws in the jurisdiction in which they are resident or have a registered address.
By returning the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form along with the Application Monies. or by making a payment in respect of an Application by BPay®, you will be taken to have represented and warranted that you satisfy the criteria above to be an Eligible Shareholder. The Company reserves the right to reject any Application that it believes comes from a person who is not an Eligible Shareholder.
It is the responsibility of each Applicant to ensure compliance with the laws of any country relevant to their Application. The Company, in its absolute discretion, reserves the right to determine whether a person is an Eligible Shareholder and therefore able to participate in the Offer, or an Ineligible Shareholder and therefore unable to participate in the Offer. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all liability in respect of any determination as to whether a person is an Eligible Shareholder.
However, in limited circumstances, and in the Company's absolute discretion, the Company may elect to treat as Eligible Shareholders certain institutional or sophisticated persons who would otherwise not be Eligible Shareholders because their registered addresses are not in Australia or New Zealand.
6.3 Rights Trading
The Offer is non-renounceable. This means that the rights of Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for New Shares under this Prospectus are not transferable and there will be no trading of rights on ASX. Eligible Shareholders who choose not to take up their rights will receive no benefit and their shareholding in the Company will be diluted as a result.
6.4 Minimum subscription
The minimum subscription under the Offer is \$3,000,000. No Shares will be allotted or issued until the minimum subscription has been received. If the minimum subscription is not achieved within 4 months after the date of issue of this Prospectus, the Company will either repay the Application Monies to the Applicants or issue a supplementary prospectus or replacement prospectus and allow Applicants one month to withdraw their Application and be repaid their Application Monies.
6.5 Beneficial holder, Nominees, trustees or custodians
The foreign selling instructions under the Offer summarised in section 6.8 of this Prospectus apply to the underlying beneficial holder. Nominees, trustees and custodians must not apply on behalf of any beneficial holder that would not itself be an Eligible Shareholder. Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are advised to seek independent advice as to how they should proceed. Shareholders who hold Shares on behalf of persons whose registered address is not in Australia or New Zealand are responsible for ensuring that applying for New Shares does not breach securities laws in the relevant overseas jurisdictions.
6.6 Shortfall Offer
Any Entitlements not taken up may become available as Shortfall Shares. The offer of Shortfall Shares is a separate offer pursuant to this Prospectus. New Shares not taken up by Eligible Shareholders will form part of the Shortfall Offer. The issue price of any New Shares offered pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be \$0.15 each, which is the issue price at which the Offer has been made to Eligible Shareholders.
The Directors reserve the right at their discretion within 3 months after the Closing Date to offer Shortfall Shares as follows:
- $(a)$ to Eligible Shareholders who apply for New Shares in addition to their Entitlement; and
- $(b)$ others.
Eligible Shareholders
Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply under the Shortfall Offer, regardless of the size of their present holding.
Eligible Shareholders who wish to apply for Shortfall Shares above their Entitlement can complete the appropriate boxes on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Prospectus and return it together with a cheque for the value of those Shortfall Shares (at \$0.15 per Shortfall Share) to the Share Registry or make a BPAY® in excess of the total value of your Entitlement.
It is possible that there will be few or no Shortfall Shares available for issue, depending on the level of take up of Entitlements by Shareholders. There is also no guarantee that in the event Shortfall Shares are available for issue, they will be allocated to all or any of the Eligible Shareholders who have applied for them.
Other Investors
Other investors identified by the Company can apply for Shortfall Shares by completing the Shortfall Application Form attached to this Prospectus and returning it together with a cheque for the value of those Shortfall Shares (at \$0.15 per Shortfall Share) to the Share Registry.
Shortfall Applications
Allocation of the Shortfall Shares is at the discretion of the Board. There is no guarantee that Eligible Shareholders will receive the Shortfall Shares applied for.
Shortfall Shares will only be issued if the Offer is undersubscribed and will only be issued to the extent necessary to make up any shortfall in subscriptions. The Directors reserve the right to reject any application for Shortfall Shares or to allot a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than applied for or not proceed with the issuing of the Shortfall Shares or part thereof. If the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for in an Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form, surplus Application Monies will be refunded in full as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer. Interest will not be paid on Application Monies refunded.
The Directors reserve the right to pay a commission of up to 8% (excluding GST) of amounts subscribed to any licensed securities dealers or Australian financial services licensee in respect of any valid applications for Shortfall Shares from parties not being Eligible Shareholders. Payments will be subject to the receipt of a proper tax invoice from the licenced securities dealer or Australian financial services licencee.
The Directors reserve the right to place the Shortfall at their discretion within 3 months after the Closing Date of the Offer subject to the Listing Rules and any restrictions under any applicable law. The Company reserves the right to allot to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than the number for which the Applicant applies, or to reject an Application, or to not proceed with the Shortfall Offer or issue of any Shortfall Shares.
6.7 ASX listing
Application for Official Quotation of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made in accordance with the timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any New Shares and will repay all Application Monies for the New Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares now offered for subscription.
6.8 Allotment
New Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be allotted in accordance with the Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.
New Shares issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be allotted on a progressive basis. Where the number of New Shares issued is less than the number applied for, or where no allotment is made, surplus Application Monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.
Pending the allotment and issue of the New Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application Monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
Holding statements for New Shares issued under the Offer will be mailed in accordance with the Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus and for Shortfall Shares as soon as practicable after their issue.
6.9 Overseas shareholders
This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended, and Shares will not be issued, to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.
The Offer is being made in New Zealand pursuant to the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002.
6.10 Market Prices of Existing Shares on ASX

6.11 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.

Taxation and duty implications 6.12
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of the Company conducting the Offer or Shareholders applying for New Shares under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of Shareholders. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders in the Offer. Shareholders should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Offer.
No brokerage or duty is payable by Eligible Shareholders in respect of Applications for New Shares under this Prospectus.
6.13 Privacy
The Company collects information about each Applicant provided on an Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the purposes of processing the Application and, if the Application is successful, to administer the Applicant's security holding in the Company.

$\overline{7}$ DETAILS OF THE OFFER
$7.1$ What Eligible Shareholders may do
The number of New Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled is shown on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Eligible Shareholders may:
- take up all of their Entitlement (refer to section 7.2); $(a)$
- take up all of their Entitlement and apply for additional New Shares under the Shortfall Offer $(b)$ (refer to sections 7.2 and 6.6);
- take up a proportion of their Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse (refer to section 7.3); $(c)$
- allow all or part of their Entitlement to lapse (refer to section 7.4). $(d)$
$7.2$ Taking up all of your Entitlement
Should you wish to accept all of your Entitlement, then applications for New Shares under this Prospectus must be made on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus or by completing a BPAY® payment, in accordance with the instructions referred to on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Please read the instructions carefully.
Please complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form by filling in the details in the spaces provided and attach a cheque for the Application Monies indicated on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms must be accompanied by a cheque in Australian dollars, crossed "Not Negotiable" and made payable to "Kin Mining N.L." and lodged and received at any time after the issue of this Prospectus and on or before the Closing Date at the Company's Share Registry (by post) at:
Kin Mining N.L. C/- Advanced Share Registry Services PO Box 1156 Nedlands WA 6009
If you wish to pay via BPAY® you must follow the instructions in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Make sure that you use the specific Biller Code and unique Customer Reference Number (CRN) on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You do not need to return a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and the representations outlined below in section 7.8. If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the CRN specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings. This can result in your Application Monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).
You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by 3.00pm (WST) on the Closing Date.
The Company shall not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays or delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.
Taking up a proportion of your Entitlement and allowing the balance to lapse $7.3$
If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse, complete the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of New Shares you wish to take up and follow the steps in section 7.2. If you take no further action, the balance of your Entitlement will lapse and you will have forfeited any potential benefit to be gained from taking that part of your Entitlement.
$7.4$ Allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse
If you do not take up your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Offer to you will lapse.
$7.5$ To apply for Shortfall Shares
Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for Shortfall Shares regardless of the size of their present holding by completing the accompanying Application Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form. Refer to section 6.6 for details of the manner in which Shortfall Shares will be allocated.
A single cheque should be used for the Application Monies for your Entitlement and the number of Shortfall Shares you wish to apply for as stated on the Application Form.
Surplus Application Monies will be returned to Applicants as soon as practicable following the issue of all Shortfall Shares.
7.6 Payment by cheque/bank draft
All cheques must be drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft made payable in Australian currency to "Kin Mining N.L." and crossed "Not Negotiable".
Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and cheque must reach the Company's share registry no later than 5.00pm WST on the Closing Date (by post) at:
Kin Mining N.L. C/- Advanced Share Registry Services PO Box 1156 Nedlands WA 6009
$7.7$ Payment by BPAY®
For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
- you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made $(a)$ the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
- $(b)$ if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry
by no later than 3.00pm (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. Any Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares (only where the amount is \$1.00 or greater) will be applied toward an application for Shortfall Shares and where such Shortfall Shares are not allotted, shall be refunded. No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.
7.8 Implications of an acceptance
Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application Monies by BPAY® constitutes a binding application to acquire New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Prospectus and, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn.
By completing and returning your Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite Application Monies, or by making payment in respect of an Application by BPAY®, you will be deemed to have represented that you are an Eligible Shareholder. In addition, you will also be deemed to have represented and warranted on behalf of yourself or each person upon whose account you are acting that the law in your place of residence and/or where you have been given this Prospectus does not prohibit you from being given the Prospectus and that you:
- declare that the details and statements in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form are complete $(a)$ and accurate;

- acknowledge that the New Shares have not, and will not be, registered under the securities $(h)$ laws in any other jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand and accordingly, the New Shares may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except in accordance with an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of applicable securities laws in particular the US Securities Act.
8 RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SHARES
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are:
- detailed in the Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected, free of charge, at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours; and
- in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the general law.
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares. 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.
$(a)$ Voting Rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at a general meeting of members every member has one vote on a show of hands and one vote per Share on a poll. Voting may be in person or by proxy, attorney or representative.
$(b)$ Dividends
Subject to the rights of holders of shares issued with any special rights (at present there are none), the profits of the Company which the Board may from time to time determine to distribute by way of dividend are divisible to each share of a class on which the Board resolves to pay a dividend in proportion to the amount for the time being paid on a share bears to the total issue price of the share. All Shares currently on issue and the shares to be issued under this Prospectus are fully paid Shares.
$(c)$ Future Issues of Securities
Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors may issue, grant options over, or otherwise dispose of unissued shares in the Company at the times and on the terms that the Directors think proper and a share may be issued with preferential or special rights.
$(d)$ Transfer of Shares
A shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by ASX for the purpose of facilitating transfers in Shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or the Board.
$(e)$ Meetings and Notices
Each shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend, general meetings for the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act.
$(f)$ Election of Directors
There must be a minimum of 3 Directors. At every annual general meeting one third of the Directors (rounded to the nearest whole number) must retire from office. If the Company has less than 3 Directors, one Director must retire from office together with any Director who would have held office for more than 3 years if that Director remains in office until the next general meeting. These retirement rules do not apply to certain appointments including the managing director.
Indemnities $(g)$
To the extent permitted by law the Company must indemnify each past and present Director and secretary against any liability incurred by that person as an officer of the Company and any legal costs incurred in defending an action in respect of such liability.
$(h)$ Winding Up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the shareholders:
- divide the assets of the Company among the members in kind;
- for that purpose fix the value of assets and decide how the division is to be carried out as between the members and different class of members; and
- vest assets of the Company in trustees on any trusts for the benefit of the members as the liquidator thinks appropriate.
$(i)$ Shareholder Liability
As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid Shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
Alteration to the Constitution $(i)$
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. At least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
$(k)$ Listing Rules
If the Company is admitted to trading on the Official List, then despite anything in the Constitution, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Nothing in the Constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done. If the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be). If the Listing Rules require the Constitution to contain a provision and it does not contain such a provision, the Constitution is deemed to contain that provision. If the Listing Rules require the Constitution not to contain a provision and it contains such a provision, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision. If a provision of the Constitution is inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, states that:
- $(a)$ it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
- copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents $(b)$ referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
- it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on $(c)$ request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
- $(i)$ the annual financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, being the last financial statements for a financial year, of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus;
- the half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC for the financial year $(ii)$ ended 31 December 2013 after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) above and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and
- $(iii)$ any continuous disclosure documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgement of the financial statements referred to in paragraph (i) above until the issue of the Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.
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.
The Company has lodged the following announcements with ASX since the 30 June 2013 audited financial statements: ASX maintains files containing publicly available information for all listed companies.

Remuneration
The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of nonexecutive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors' remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director.
A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e. non-cash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.
The following table shows the total (and proposed) annual remuneration paid to both executive and non-executive directors.
| Director | 2013 | 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| Terrence Grammer | Nil | \$50,000 |
| Giuseppe Graziano | Nil | \$84,000 |
| Marvyn Fitton | Nil | \$36,000 |
| Trevor Dixon | Nil | \$156,000 |
Note:
The Chairman and non-executive Directors are entitled to annual directors' fees of \$50,000 and \$36,000 (inclusive of superannuation) respectively.
