Takeover bid by Ramelius Resources Limited for Apollo Consolidated Limited – Compulsory acquisition

As you may be aware, on 18 October 2021 Ramelius Resources Limited (ACN 001 717 540) ( Ramelius ), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Ramelius Kalgoorlie Pty Ltd (ACN 654 590 039) announced its recommended offmarket takeover offer for all of the ordinary shares in Apollo Consolidated Limited (ACN 102 084 917) ( Apollo ). Following the announcement of a competing offer, Ramelius increased its offer consideration with the lodgement of its Bidder’s Statement on 1 November 2021 ( Offer ). On 2 December 2021, Ramelius extended the offer to 17 December 2021. On 6 December 2021, Ramelius announced that it would be moving to compulsory acquisition and that the Offer will not be further extended.

The Offer closes at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 17 December 2021 and will not be further extended. Ramelius has received acceptances totalling 96.70% of Apollo and now intends to exercise its right to compulsorily acquire the remaining Apollo shares in which Ramelius does not have a relevant interest under the compulsory acquisition provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ).

The compulsory acquisition will be on the same terms as the Offer (i.e. $0.34 cash and 0.1778 Ramelius shares for each of your Apollo shares).

Apollo shareholders who have not accepted the Offer may still do so before 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 17 December 2021.

Apollo shareholders who accept the Offer by this date will receive the consideration for their Apollo shares earlier, instead of having to wait for their Apollo shares to be compulsorily acquired under the compulsory acquisition process.

If you do not accept the Offer before the scheduled closing time for the Offer, on completion of the compulsory acquisition procedure, Ramelius will pay to Apollo the consideration for your Apollo shares. You will then be entitled to claim the consideration from Apollo.

Apollo will give notice to its shareholders once it has received the consideration and advise as to how you may claim the consideration. Subject to the Corporations Act, this is expected to occur around 5 to 6 weeks after the date of this letter.

Enclosed is a compulsory acquisition notice in relation to your Apollo shares which sets out the compulsory acquisition process and your rights ( Notice ). Please note that if you cease to hold your Apollo shares (because you have sold your Apollo shares) the Notice will have no further application to you and, in particular, you will no longer be entitled to undertake the actions under section 661D or 661E of the Corporations Act referred to in the Notice.

Under ASX Listing Rule 17.4, ASX will suspend quotation of Apollo shares 5 business days after the date of the Notice (being approximately Monday, 13 December 2021). Once suspended, ASX will remove Apollo from the official list at the close of trading on a date to be determined.

If you have any questions or need a new acceptance form, please call the Offer Information Line on 1300 396 032 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4100 (from outside of Australia). Yours faithfully,
