Dear Shareholder

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) has recently released the ASIC Corporations (Extension of Time to Hold AGM) Instrument 2021/770 ( Instrument ) which extends the time for certain public companies to hold their annual general meetings ( AGMs ) to allow companies to plan and prepare for holding their AGMs in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on gathering and movement. The Instrument complements the modifications to the Corporations Act 2001 made by Parliament in Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No. 1) Act 2021 . These amendments came into effect on 14 August 2021 and allow meetings to be convened electronically and held using virtual meeting technology, and for notices of meeting to be sent to recipients by means of an electronic communication or access the document electronically.
Accordingly, the Company is not sending hard copies of the Meeting materials to shareholders. Instead, a copy of the Notice is available on the Company’s website at www.redmountainmining.com.au/. If you have elected to receive notices by email, you will be notified by email. If you have not elected to receive notices by email, a copy of your proxy form will be posted to you, together with this Letter.

The situation regarding COVID-19 is evolving rapidly and the Company is following the guidance of the Australian Government. Shareholders are encouraged to monitor the Company’s ASX announcements for any further updates in relation to the Meeting.
The Meeting materials are important and should be read in their entirety. If you are in doubt as to the course of action you should follow, you should consult your financial adviser, lawyer, accountant or other professional adviser.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at https://www.redmountainmining.com.au/ .
1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
1.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
1.2 Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

3113-10/2773703_12
1.3 Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – JEREMY KING
2.1 General
Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 7.3 of the Constitution provide that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without reelection) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled to be exempt from this rotation requirement.
Jeremy King, who has served as a Director since 1 December 2016 and was last re-elected on 6 November 2018, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
2.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Jeremy King is a corporate advisor with over 15 years’ experience in domestic and international legal, financial and corporate matters. He spent several years in London where he worked with Allen & Overy LLP and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP and has extensive corporate experience, particularly in relation to cross-border private equity, leveraged buy-out acquisitions and acting for banks, financial institutions and corporate issuers in respect of various debt and equity capital raisings.
Mr King regularly advises ASX listed companies on a range of corporate matters and currently serves as non-executive director of Burgundy Diamond Mines Limited (ASX: BDM), Smart Parking Limited (ASX: SPZ) and Transcendence Technologies Limited (ASX: TTL)
2.3 Independence
If re-elected the Board considers Jeremy King will be an independent Director.
2.4 Board recommendation
The Board has reviewed Jeremy King’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Jeremy King’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Jeremy King and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
3.1 General
As announced on 20 January 2021, the Company received firm commitments for a placement of 40,000,000 shares at a price of A$0.01 per share to professional and sophisticated investors to raise $400,000 (before costs)( January Placement ).
It is noted that the January Placement was in addition to the $360,000 raised by the Company (refer announcement dated 28 October 2020) following the
6
3113-10/2773703_12
Company seeking and receiving shareholder approval at its 2020 annual general meeting.
Following receipt of firm commitments for the January Placement, on 28 January 2021, the Company issued 40,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.010 per Share to raise $400,000 ( January Placement Shares ).
The Company engaged the services of Xcel Capital (ACN 617 047 319) ( Xcel ), (AFSL No. 51738), to manage the issue of the January Placement Shares. The Company has paid Xcel a fee of 6% of the amount raised under the issue of the January Placement Shares.
3.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period. Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2020.
The issue of the January Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the January Placement Shares.
3.3
Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the January Placement Shares.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the January Placement Shares.
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the January Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the January Placement Shares.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the January Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A,
7
3113-10/2773703_12
decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the January Placement Shares.
3.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) the January Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Xcel. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Xcel seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from nonrelated parties of the Company.

(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

The issue of the S3 Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12month period following the date of issue of the S3 Shares.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is set out at Section 3.3 above. Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the S3 Shares.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the S3 Shares will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1, decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the S3 Shares.

5. RESOLUTION 5 AND 6 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS – JEREMY KING AND LINCOLN HO
5.1 Background
As initially announced on 8 June 2021, the Company’s previously issued “RMXOI” class of quoted options expired on 14 July 2021. To incentivise holders of these options, the Company offered each holder of an RMXOI option the chance to receive one (1) new bonus option exercisable at $0.011 on or before 2 October 2022 ( Bonus Options ), for every three (3) RMXOI options that the holders elected to exercise and convert into Shares prior to their expiry ( Bonus Option Offer ).
The Bonus Option Offer was made to all holders of RMXOI options.
On 19 July 2021, the Company announced that it has received exercise notices and received funds on the exercise of 98,989,196 RMXOI options, and accordingly the Bonus Option Offer would consist of the issue of 32,996,399 new Bonus Options.
On 2 September 2021, the Company lodged with ASIC and the ASX a prospectus with respect to the Bonus Option Offer. This prospectus contained two (2) separate offers, as follows:
- (a) up to 30,826,733 Bonus Options to unrelated parties to the Company; and (b) a conditional offer of 2,166,666 Bonus Options to Messrs Lincoln Ho and Jeremy King, who are both Directors ( Director Offer ).
The Director Offer is subject to and conditional upon the receipt of approval of Shareholders at the Meeting. The Director Offer will be conducted on the same terms and conditions as the Bonus Options to be issued to unrelated parties in the Bonus Option Offer.
It is noted that a term of the Bonus Option Offer (and therefore of the Director Offer) is that the Company will apply for quotation on ASX of the entire class of these Bonus Options.
The issue of Bonus Options to unrelated parties does not require Shareholder Approval, however the Listing Rules require that Shareholder Approval is received before any issue of equity securities to a related party of the Company.
Accordingly, Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of an aggregate 2,166,666 Bonus Options to Mr King and Mr Ho (or their nominees), as a result of these gentlemen participating in the Bonus Option Offer.
10
3113-10/2773703_12
5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The Director Offer will result in the issue of Bonus Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr King and Mr Ho are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors (other than Mr Ho who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Mr Ho’s participation in the Director Offer because the Bonus Options to be issued to Mr Ho (or his nominee) are to be issued to Mr Ho on the same terms and conditions as all other Bonus Options issued to non-related party participants in the Bonus Option Offer and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Mr King who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Mr King’s participation in the Director Offer because the Bonus Options to be issued to Mr King (or his nominee) are to be issued to Mr King on the same terms and conditions as all other Bonus Options issued to non-related party participants in the Bonus Option Offer and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
5.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
11
3113-10/2773703_12
The issue of Bonus Options under the Director Offer falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the Director Offer under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 5 and 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Bonus Options under the Director Offer within one (1) month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Bonus Options in respect of the Director Offer (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Bonus Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to the Directors under the Director Offer.
5.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 and 6:
-
(a) these Bonus Options will be issued to Mr Jeremy King and Mr Lincoln Ho (or their nominees), who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Messrs King and Ho are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;
-
(b) the maximum number of Bonus Options to be issued to Mr King and Mr Ho (or their nominees) is 2,166,666, as follows:
-

-
(ii) Mr Lincoln Ho: 333,333;
-
(c) the Bonus Options issued will be unlisted Options exercisable at $0.011 on or before 2 October 2022, however it is intended that the Company will apply for quotation on ASX of the entire class of these Options following their issue;

-
(g) the purpose of the issue of Bonus Options under the Bonus Option Offer (and therefore the Director Offer) was to reward all eligible parties for their continued support of the Company and to provide the Company with a potential source of additional capital if the Bonus Options are exercised

3113-10/2773703_12
in the future. No funds will be raised directly under the Bonus Option Offer as the Bonus Options are being issued for nil consideration;

6. RESOLUTION 7 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS
6.1 Background
As announced on 9 August 2021, the Company raised $500,000 through the issue of 65,789,474 Shares at an issue price of $0.0076 per Share together with one (1) free attaching listed Option for every three (3) Shares issued to noteholders on the conversion of Convertible Notes ( Convertible Note Scheme ).
On 9 August 2021, the Company issued the Shares and Options the subject of the Convertible Note Scheme ( Conversion Securities ) to professional and sophisticated investors who participated in the Convertible Note Scheme.
The Company engaged the services of Xcel Capital (ACN 617 047 319) ( Xcel ), (AFSL No. 51738), to manage the issue of the Convertible Note Scheme. The Company has paid Xcel a management fee of $10,000 and 6% of the amount raised under the Convertible Note Scheme.
The key terms and conditions of the Convertible Note Scheme, as announced by the Company on 3 June 2021, are as follows:
-
(a) Interest Rate: 12% per annum. Payable quarterly in cash or shares at the Company’s election.
-
(b) Conversion: Each Convertible Note is convertible into fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at a 20% discount to the 5 day VWAP. The Noteholders may elect to convert their notes at any time. Should the Company not have placement capacity at the time of conversion, it undertakes to call a shareholder meeting to approve the conversion.
-
(c) Security: The Convertible Notes are unsecured.
-
(d) Maturity Date: 24 months from date of issue – any noted unconverted at the Maturity Date shall automatically convert to shares.
-
(e) Attaching Options : 1 attaching option issued for every 3 Convertible Notes converted to shares.
6.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
As summarised in Section 3.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue
13
3113-10/2773703_12
at the start of that 12-month period. Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2020.
The issue of the Conversion Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Capital Raising Securities.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is set out at Section 3.3 above. The Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Conversion Securities.
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Conversion Securities.
6.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Conversion Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Conversion Securities.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Conversion Securities will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Conversion Securities.
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:
-
(a) the Conversion Securities were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Xcel. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Xcel seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms there were three (3) recipients of Conversion Securities who were:
-

(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company, as follows:

-

The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Conversion Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);
-
(h) the purpose of the issue of the Conversion Securities was to raise $500,000, which will be applied towards progressing the Company’s exploration activities across its project in Western Australia and NSW and for a top up of its general working capital; and
-

7. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
7.1 General
As set out in Section 3.2 above, subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
15
3113-10/2773703_12
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
7.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 8:
(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 7.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the following purposes:
- (i) acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition);
16
3113-10/2773703_12
-
(ii) continued exploration and expenditure on the Company’s current assets;
-
(iii) the development of the Company’s current business; and
-
(iv) general working capital.
-
(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as of 28 September 2021.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.
| Dilution | Dilution | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 1,256,822,489 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 28 September 2021 being $0.0095.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
17
3113-10/2773703_12
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
18
3113-10/2773703_12
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2020 ( Previous Approval ).
During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 4 November 2020, the Company issued 42,857,143 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval ( Previous Issue ), which represent approximately 3.79% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 4 November 2020, which was 1,131,322,489.
Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.2 during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out below.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
