About Red Mountain Mining Limited
Red Mountain Mining (ASX: RMX) is primarily a gold explorer and project acquisition company which listed on the ASX in September 2011. The Company’s strategy is to unlock the potential of ‘under-developed’ gold and polymetallic projects in the greater Asian region by introducing Australian mining methods and improving efficiencies to gain significant production and exploration upside.

Since acquisition the company has focussed on upgrading the Batangas resources through discovery of new, high grade, gold zones at Archangel, and Lobo (eg West Drift, Pica, Ulupong). The company will continue drilling with the objective of increasing the size and grade of JORC compliant Mineral Resources at Batangas then completing a scoping study to demonstrate the viability of a potential high-margin gold project development.
Other gold opportunities will be reviewed on a continuous basis.

2. REASON FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND EFFECT ON THE COMPANY
2.1 Background
We listed on ASX on 1 September 2011. The Company is a gold explorer and project acquisition company. Our primary focus is the development of the Batangas gold project in the Philippines. The Company further has certain tenement interests at the Tapian San Francisco copper-gold project in the Philippines.
We are making this Offer which consists of a pro-rata renounceable rights issue of approximately 281,358,039 New Shares to Eligible Shareholders. The Offer is made on the basis of 3 New Shares for every 2 Shares held by Eligible Shareholders on the Record Date at an issue price of 1 cent per New Share and 1 free New Short-Dated Option for every 2 New Shares subscribed for under the Prospectus and 1 free New Long-Dated Option for every 4 New Shares subscribed for under the Prospectus (" Rights Issue "). On this basis, the Rights Issue will seek to raise up to approximately $2,813,580.
The Offer is renounceable, so that Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to take up some or all of their Entitlement may be able to sell or otherwise transfer all or part of their Entitlement through the financial market operated by ASX or by way of an off-market transfer. Refer to Section 4.2 for more information.
As at the date of this Prospectus, we have 187,572,026 Shares, 44,446,558 Options and 50,000,000 performance shares on issue. The conversion terms of the performance shares are set out in Section 2.4. Option holders with an address in Australia, New Zealand or Canada may exercise their Options before the Record Date and participate in the Offer. In this event, the number of New Shares to be issued under this Prospectus and the funds raised as a result of the Rights Issue may vary.
2.2 Use of Funds
We are seeking to raise a total of up to approximately $2,813,580 from this Rights Issue. Presented below is how the Company intends to use its current funds at the date of this Prospectus and the proceeds of the Offer at each of Minimum Subscription and Full Subscription:
| Funds Available | Minimum Subscription Full Subscription |
|---|---|
| Cash on hand Funds raised under the Offer1 Total funds available |
$500,000 $500,000 $550,000 $2,813,580 |
| $1,050,000 $3,313,580 |
|
| Use of Funds | |
| Drilling high-grade gold targets at Batangas Gold Project: Lobo and Archangel prospects Undertake preliminary scoping study into gold project development at Batangas Gold Project General working capital2 |
$500,000 $1,500,000 $0 $300,000 $410,000 $1,367,580 |
Red Mountain Mining Limited Prospectus

| Estimated expenses of the Offer including Underwriting fee3 Total |
$140,000 $146,000 |
|---|---|
| $1,050,000 $3,313,580 |
-
The table assumes that none of the existing Option holders exercise their Options before the Record Date and participate in the Offer. In the event that more funds are raised than $2,813,580, we will allocate those additional funds to general working capital.
-
General working capital includes but is not limited to corporate administration and operating costs and may be applied to directors fees, ASX and share registry fees, legal, tax and audit fees, insurance and travel costs. Further, general working capital may be applied to evaluating new gold or polymetallic project opportunities that may complement the existing projects of the Company.
-
If any Shortfall Securities are placed beyond the Underwritten Amount, then a 6.5% fee on the amount of Shortfall Securities placed will be paid to the Broker. Any such fees will be paid out of general working capital.
-
In the event that moneys are received beyond Minimum Subscription, the net funds are intended to be applied firstly to drilling gold targets, then to general working capital and then to undertaking a preliminary scoping study.
-
The table is a statement of our proposed application of the funds raised as at the date of this Prospectus. The Batangas property and specifically the two mineral production sharing agreements ("MPSA") (Archangel and Lobo) will be the primary focus of the intended use of funds. The immediate objectives of the Company are to discover new epithermal gold shoots at Lobo, upgrade gold resources and complete a preliminary scoping study into a gold project development. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect our decisions and we reserve the right to vary the way the funds are applied.
2.3 Effect on shareholders’ equity and cash reserves
The principal effects of the Rights Issue on the Company will be to:
-
(a) increase the total number of Shares and Options on issue (see Section 2.4); and
-
(b) increase our cash reserves at Full Subscription by approximately $2,813,580, before taking into account the expenses of the Offer (see Section 2.5).
A pro forma statement of financial position, which that contains further information about the effect of the Rights Issue on the Company, is provided in Section 2.5.
2.4 Effect on capital structure
Assuming that no Options are exercised before the Record Date, the effect of the Offer on the Company’s issued share capital as at the date of this Prospectus will be as shown in the following table:

2.6 Potential effect on control
Mindoro Resources Limited ("Mindoro") at the date of this Prospectus has a relevant interest in 100,000,000 Shares representing voting power of 53.3%. Additionally it holds 50,000,000 Performance Shares, the conversion terms of which are set out in Section 2.4.
The effect of the Offer on the voting power of Mindoro is reliant upon take up of any Entitlement by Mindoro, the take up of Entitlement by other Shareholders and the subsequent placing of any Shortfall. Below is a table detailing various scenarios.
| Shares held by Mindoro |
Voting Power if all other Shareholders take up their Entitlement |
Voting Power if Minimum Subscription only achieved |
Voting Power if no other Shareholders take up their Entitlement |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| If Mindoro takes up no Entitlement |
100,000,000 | 31.3% | 41.2% | 41.2% (as Minimum Subscription achieved) |
| If Mindoro takes up 100% of Entitlement |
250,000,000 | 53.3% | Not relevant | 74.1% |
The Offer is 3 New Shares for every 2 Shares held by Eligible Shareholders and the maximum dilution at Full Subscription that will be experienced by any Eligible Shareholder that fails to subscribe for any Entitlement is 60% of its existing shareholding.
The Underwriter has appointed sub-underwriters to subscribe for the Shortfall up to the Underwritten Amount. No sub-underwriter by its sub-underwriting will increase its voting power in Shares to 20% or more.
By reason of the above, the effect on control of the Offer is reliant upon any take up of Entitlement by Mindoro, the take up of Entitlement by other Shareholders and the subsequent placing of any Shortfall.

3. RISK FACTORS
3.1 Introduction
An investment in the securities the subject of this Prospectus is highly speculative as the Company is a gold explorer and project acquisition company. The Company currently has an interest in projects in the Philippines with its primary focus being the continued exploration and development of the Batangas gold project.
There are a number of factors that may have a material impact on our future operating and financial performance. The key material risks are described below.
You should carefully consider the risks described below, the information contained in other sections of this Prospectus, and all other relevant material including our public announcements and reports.
The specific risks below are some of the risks specific to the Company including by reason of its involvement in the resource industry and having operations in the Philippines. The general investment risks below are some of the risks to the Company of a general economic nature.
3.2 Specific Risks
Exploration
Investors should understand that exploration and development is by its nature a high risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that the Company's exploration of its existing projects or any other exploration projects that may be acquired in the future will result in a commercially viable discovery.
Development and Mining
Possible future development of a mining operation at any of the Company's projects is dependent on, and may be affected by, a number of factors including, but not limited to, failure to acquire and/or delineate economically recoverable ore bodies, unfavourable geological conditions, failing to receive the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, unseasonal weather patterns, excessive seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, unexpected shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, risk of access to the required level of funding and contracting risks from third parties providing essential services.
In the event that the Company commences production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions and other accidents.
Red Mountain Mining Limited Prospectus
Page 12
Future Capital Needs and Additional Funding
The funds raised by the Offer will be used to carry out the Company's objectives as detailed in this Prospectus and the Company’s announcements to ASX. 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 (existing and future), the results of exploration, 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.
Sovereign and Political Risks Associated with Operating in the Philippines
The projects of the Company are located in the Philippines and the Company will be subject to the risks associated with operating in that country, including various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties.
Philippines Government Mining Policy, Executive Order 079
In January 2012 the Philippines Government issued a new mining policy termed Executive Order 079 (“EO79”). The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the EO79 have been issued. However there is a risk that further changes under the EO79 policy will involve increases to royalties and taxes that will affect the revenue derived by the Company from any future operation.
Philippine Foreign Acquisition Laws
An entity not of Philippine nationality may only acquire up to 40% of a Philippine MPSA (mineral production sharing agreement) or the holder of an MPSA directly. The restriction on foreign ownership relates to the ownership of an MPSA and its holder, the operation of an MPSA, the total physical area that may be held by a foreign held entity and the role that a foreign person may have in an entity that has more than 40% of an MPSA or MPSA holder.
The Company has considered this in structuring the holding of interests and contractual rights in the MPSAs, such that the direct holding is only 40% of the holder of the MPSAs and the remaining 60% is held as a contractual right. However, there is a risk that the current or future structure of the Company’s holdings may be subject to alteration due to changes to Philippine foreign ownership laws.
Conditions and Renewal of Licences
The permits and agreements on the projects are governed by the Philippine legislation and are evidenced by the granting of permits and agreements, extension of permits and/or extension of specific stages of the MPSA’s. Each permit, agreement or extension is for a specific term and carries with its annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance.
Red Mountain Mining Limited Prospectus
Page 13
Consents from Surface Land Holders
The Philippines Mining Act sets out the requirement for entities wishing to access mineral permits for the purpose of exploration, development and utilisation to receive the consent of the surface owners or occupants of the land in writing prior to such access and to pay them an appropriate amount of compensation.
Although seeking such consent is a common task for mining companies in the Philippines, there is no guarantee that it will be a fast or cost effective process for the Company.
Gold and Commodity Price Volatility
It is anticipated that any revenues derived from mining will be derived from the sale of gold. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of gold and the terms of any offtake agreements which it enters into.
Gold and metal prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for gold and metals, forward selling by producers and production cost levels in mineral producing regions.
Moreover, gold and metal prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, the relevant commodity as well as general global economic conditions. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Potential Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in other gold or polymetallic projects. Any such transactions would be accompanied by risks commonly encountered in making such acquisitions.
Reliance on Key Personnel
The Company's success largely depends on the core competencies of its Directors and management and their familiarisation with, and ability to operate in, the resource industry and the Company's ability to retain its key executives.
Resource Estimations
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. They are also influenced by the recoverability of the value component from the defined resource.
Additionally, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. Should the Company encounter 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.
Environmental
The Company's projects are subject to laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. 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
Red Mountain Mining Limited Prospectus
Page 14
Company's projects will be dependent on the Company satisfying environmental guidelines and, where required, being approved by government authorities.
3.3 General Investment Risks
Securities Investments and Share Market Conditions
There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the securities of the Company trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors.
Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for exploration and mining 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.
Economic Risk
Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption, the rate of growth of gross domestic product in Australia, interest rates and the rate of inflation.
Legislative
Changes in relevant taxes, legal and administration regimes, accounting practices and government policies in countries in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.

It is your responsibility to ensure that we receive your payment by the Closing Date. We do not accept any responsibility for incorrectly completed BPAY payments.
4.4
Excluded Shareholders
The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make an offer to Excluded Shareholders (a Shareholder whose registered address is not in Australia, New Zealand or Canada) having regard to the number of Excluded Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Excluded 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, New Zealand or Canada.
The Offer is being made in New Zealand pursuant to the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013. The New Securities are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand. This Prospectus has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This Prospectus is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.
Pursuant to section 615 of the Corporations Act, the Company has appointed the Broker as nominee (" Nominee ") to sell the Rights to which Excluded Shareholders are entitled. The Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Rights will be sold and the manner of any such sale. The Company will pay the Nominee a brokerage fee of 1.5% (subject to a minimum charge of $100) on the execution
Red Mountain Mining Limited Prospectus
Page 19
of the sale of any Rights. The Company has applied to the ASIC to approve the appointment of the Nominee pursuant to section 615 of the Corporations Act. However, as at the date of the Prospectus, ASIC has not approved the appointment of the Nominee.
Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Rights will firstly be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage, and any balance will accrue to the relevant Excluded Shareholders as described below.
The net proceeds of the sale of these Rights will then be forwarded by the Company as soon as practicable to the Excluded Shareholders, in proportion to their share of such Rights (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses).
Notwithstanding that the Nominee must sell Rights, Excluded Shareholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds. In this regard, the Nominee will not be required to sell Excluded Shareholders' Entitlements at a particular price.
Shareholders resident in Australia, New Zealand or Canada holding shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up an Entitlement under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.
4.5 Shortfall
Any New Shares and New Options under the Rights Issue that are not applied for will form the Shortfall Securities. The Shortfall Securities may be placed at the discretion of the Directors, in consultation with the Underwriter, within 3 months of the Closing Date.
Under this Prospectus, the Company offers to issue the Shortfall Securities to a party (which may include investors other than Eligible Shareholders) at the same price as the New Shares offered under the Rights Issue. The Offer to issue Shortfall Securities is a separate offer under the Prospectus.
Shareholders may apply for any Shortfall Securities by completing the relevant Shortfall Shares section in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and sending it to the Company's share registry (refer to Section 4.2(a) above) together with a cheque in the amount of Shortfall applied for.
Application for Shortfall with moneys does not guarantee any allotment of any Shortfall Shares. The Directors in consultation with the Underwriter may determine that an applicant for Shortfall Securities will receive a lesser number of Shortfall Securities than the number applied for or may reject an application for Shortfall Securities. All application moneys in relation to which Shortfall Securities are not allocated will be returned without interest.
The Broker is obliged to take up and subscribe for Shortfall Shares up to the Underwritten Amount.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you will not breach the takeovers provisions in the Corporations Act by applying for Shortfall Securities.

4.6 Allotment and quotation
(a) Allotment of New Shares and New Options
The New Shares and New Options issued pursuant to the Rights Issue will be allotted in accordance with the timetable set out in Section 1. We will allot the New Shares and New Options on the basis of your Rights.
Pending the allotment and issue of New Shares and New Options or payment of refunds under this Prospectus, we will hold all Application Money on trust for you in a separate bank account. We will, however, be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on any Application Money we hold.
No securities will be allotted and issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.
(b)
Quotation by ASX
We intend to apply to ASX for quotation of the New Shares and New Options within 7 days of the date of this Prospectus. If the ASX accepts our application, quotation of the New Shares and New Options will commence after the allotment of the New Shares and New Options.
If any New Shares and New Options are not granted quotation on ASX within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, or such longer period as is permitted by the Corporations Act, we will not issue those New Shares and New Options and the Application Money in respect of those New Shares and New Options will be refunded to you without interest within the time prescribed by the Corporations Act.
(c) Holding statements
We participate in the security transfer system known as CHESS. CHESS is operated by ASX Settlement Pty Ltd (ACN 008 504 532) (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX) in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. Under CHESS you will not receive a share certificate. You will receive a holding statement setting out the number of New Shares issued to you under this Prospectus. If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement will send you a CHESS statement.
4.7 Underwriting, sub-underwriting and Lead Manager arrangements
(a) The Underwriter
The Broker is appointed under the Underwriting Agreement to underwrite the Rights Issue up to the Underwritten Amount. The Broker is not a related party or a Shareholder of the Company.
In the event of a Shortfall, the Directors are not aware of any reason why the Broker would not be in a position to meet its financial obligations to subscribe for the Shortfall in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.
(b) Underwriting Agreement
The Underwriting Agreement was negotiated on an arms length basis.
Red Mountain Mining Limited Prospectus
Page 21
Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter (Broker) is obliged to subscribe for all of the Shortfall Shares within 3 business days of receiving notice from us as to the number of Shortfall Shares. The maximum number of Shortfall Securities that the Underwriter is required to subscribe for is 55,000,000 Shares and associated New Options representing the Underwritten Amount.
We are also required to reimburse the Underwriter for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
Under the Underwriting Agreement we are required to make the Offer in accordance with all relevant regulatory requirements and we have given various representations and warranties to the Underwriter, which are customary for an agreement of this nature.
A condition to the underwriting commitment is that Eligible Shareholders or other parties must subscribe for at least 28,135,803 New Shares under the Offer (being 10% of the Full Subscription). The Underwriter's obligation to subscribe for the Shortfall Securities is subject to satisfaction of this condition.
In addition to the condition referred to above, as is normal for underwriting agreements of this nature, the Underwriter has a wide discretion to terminate its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement on the occurrence of a number of events, which may occur before the issue of Shortfall Shares. The more significant termination events are a fall in indices event allowing the Underwriter to terminate its obligations if the S&P/ASX 200 Index or the S&P/ASX 300 Metals and Mining Index falls to a level that is 10% or more than the level at the close of business on the business day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the Shares of the Company finish trading for 3 trading days with a closing price that is less than this Offer price of 1 cent and where an adverse change occurs in respect of the Company or its assets which has a material adverse effect. The failure of the Underwriter to appoint sub-underwriters will not relieve the Underwriter of its obligations.
(c) Sub-Underwriting
The Underwriter has appointed sub-underwriters to subscribe for the Shortfall up to the Underwritten Amount. Each sub-underwriter will not by its sub-underwriting increase its relevant interest in Shares to 20% or more.
The related parties who have agreed to sub-underwrite are an entity controlled by Neil Warburton, a Director, for $100,000 (10,000,000 Shares), Justin Warburton, a son of Neil Warburton for $30,000 (3,000,000 Shares) and entities controlled by Keith Rowe, a Director, for $100,000 (10,000,000 Shares). The current relevant interest in Shares of Neil Warburton and Keith Rowe is set out in Section 5.6(b).
Each of these sub-underwriters has agreed to sub-underwrite on the same terms as other sub-underwriters to the Offer. The Underwriter is responsible for fees payable to sub-underwriters. The sub-underwriters will be paid a sub-underwriting fee by the Underwriter of 5% of the amount sub-underwritten and the Underwriter will nominate the sub-underwriters to receive one Underwriter Option for every 2 New Shares that is sub-underwritten. The fees the related party sub-underwriters will therefore receive are:
- Neil Warburton entity - $5,000 and, subject to Shareholder approval, 5,000,000 Underwriter Options.
Red Mountain Mining Limited Prospectus
Page 22
-
Justin Warburton - $1,500 and, subject to Shareholder approval, 1,500,000 Underwriter Options.
-
Keith Rowe entities - $5,000 and, subject to Shareholder approval, 5,000,000 Underwriter Options.
(d) Lead Manager
By the Mandate Agreement between the Company and the Broker, the Broker has agreed to lead manage the Offer by seeking to place any Shortfall Securities beyond the Underwritten Amount to investors.
(e)
Fees to Broker
The fees payable to the Broker (exclusive of GST) in relation to the rights issue are:
-
$60,000 corporate advisory fee payable upon completion of the Offer;
-
$35,750 underwriting fee (being 6.5% of the Underwritten Amount) payable upon completion of the Offer;
-
6.5% of the amount of any Shortfall Securities that are placed; and
-
27,500,000 Underwriter Options.
(f) Effect on control
The Underwriter currently has no relevant interest in Shares.
Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter is obliged to subscribe for all of the Shortfall Shares up to the Underwritten Amount (maximum of 55,000,000 Shares as at the date of this Prospectus). In the event that the Underwriter is required to subscribe for all of the Shortfall Shares up to the Underwritten Amount, the relevant interest of the Underwriter will be 22.6% at Minimum Subscription. However, the Underwriter has appointed sub-underwriters to subscribe for the Shortfall up to the Underwritten Amount. No sub-underwriter by its sub-underwriting will increase its voting power in Shares to 20% or more.
The Underwriter has informed us that on the facts and circumstances presently known to it, it is supportive of our current direction and it does not currently intend to make any major changes to our direction and objectives, and that other than as disclosed in this Prospectus:
-
does not currently intend to make any changes to our existing businesses;
-
does not currently intend to inject further capital into the Company other than in underwriting the Offer;
Red Mountain Mining Limited Prospectus
Page 23
-
does not currently intend to become involved in decisions regarding the future employment of our present employees and contemplates that they will continue in the ordinary course of business;
-
does not currently intend for any property to be transferred between the Company and it or any person associated with it;
-
does not currently intend to redeploy our fixed assets; and
-
does not currently intend to change our existing financial or dividend policies.

5. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- 5.1 Rights attaching to New Shares
The rights attaching to ownership of Shares in the Company (including the New Shares) are:
-
(a) set out in the Company’s Constitution; and
-
(b) in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the general law.
A summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares is set out below. This summary is not exhaustive nor does it constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of our Shareholders.
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. The person who holds a share which is not fully paid shall be entitled to a fraction of a vote equal to that proportion of a vote that the amount paid on the relevant share bears to the total issue price of the share excluding amounts credited or paid in advance of a call. Voting may be in person or by proxy, attorney or representative.
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 (not credited) bears to the total issue price of the share (excluding amounts credited). All Shares currently on issue and the shares to be issued under this Prospectus are fully paid Shares.
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.
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.
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
Red Mountain Mining Limited Prospectus
Page 25
shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules. Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act.
Election of Directors
There must be a minimum of three Directors. At every annual general meeting one third of the Directors (or the number nearest to one third) must retire from office together with any Director who would have held office for more than three years since that Director's election or last election. These retirement rules do not apply to certain appointments including the managing director.
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.
Amendment of Constitution
The Constitution of the Company can only be amended by a special resolution, passed by at least three quarters of the votes cast by holders of Shares entitled to vote on the resolution, at general meeting. At least 28 days’ written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
Predominance of Listing Rules
While 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.
