1.2 Short Form Prospectus
This Prospectus is a short form prospectus issued in accordance with section 712 of the Corporations Act. This means this Prospectus alone does not contain all the information that is generally required to satisfy the disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act.

In referring to the Notice of Meeting, Rox:
-

1.3 Exposure Period
The Corporations Act prohibits Rox from transferring the Cannon Shares in the seven day period after the date of lodgement of this Prospectus. This period may be extended by ASIC by up to a further seven days. This period is an exposure period to enable this Prospectus to be examined by market participants prior to the transfer of the Cannon Shares. Given the General Meeting will be held on 28 June 2021 and the In-specie Distribution will occur some time after that date, the exposure period will have expired by the time the In-specie Distribution occurs.

This Prospectus may contain forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘should’, ‘will’, ‘expect’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believes’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘scheduled’ or ‘continue’ or other similar words. Such statements and information are subject to risks and uncertainties and a number of assumptions, which may cause the actual results or events to differ materially from the expectations described in the forward looking statements or information.
Whilst Rox considers the expectations reflected in any forward looking statements or information in this Prospectus are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct. The risk factors outlined in Schedule 5 of the Notice of Meeting, as well as other matters not yet known to Rox or not currently considered material to Cannon, may cause actual events to be materially different from those expressed, implied or projected in any forward looking statements or information. Any forward looking statement or information contained in this Prospectus is qualified by this cautionary statement.
2 The Offer
2.1 Terms and Conditions of the Offer
The terms and conditions of the Offer are detailed in the Notice of Meeting accompanying this Prospectus. The Capital Reduction Resolution of the Notice of Meeting is as follows:
“That, subject to the passing of Resolution 5, the following equal reduction of the capital of Rox is approved for the purposes of Section 256B and 256C of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes, on the date set on or after the date this Resolution is passed by the Directors to determine the entitlements of Shareholders to participate in the reduction of capital ( In-specie Record Date ):
-
(a) the capital of Rox be reduced, without cancelling any Shares, by an amount equal to the market value of approximately 36,450,000 Cannon Shares less a Demerger Dividend (if any) with effect as at 5.00pm (AWST) on the In-specie Record Date; and
-
(b) the reduction and Demerger Dividend (if any) be satisfied by Rox distributing and transferring approximately 36,450,000 Cannon Shares to the Shareholders of Rox registered on the In-specie Record Date on a pro rata basis, to be effected in accordance with the Constitution, the Listing Rules and as otherwise determined by the Directors, with the consequence that each Eligible Rox Shareholder on the In-specie
Short Form Prospectus - Rox Resources Limited Page 2
Record Date shall be deemed to have consented to becoming a Cannon Shareholder and being bound by the Cannon Constitution,
on the terms and conditions given in the Explanatory Memorandum accompanying this Notice.”
Pursuant to the Capital Reduction Resolution, Rox is inviting Rox Shareholders to vote on an equal reduction of capital by way of an In-specie Distribution of Cannon Shares to Eligible Rox Shareholders on a pro rata basis. This represents:
-
(a) 1 Cannon Share for approximately every 64 Rox Shares on a pre-Consolidation basis; or
-
(b) 1 Cannon Share for approximately every 4 Rox Shares on a post-Consolidation basis,
held by Eligible Rox Shareholders on the In-specie Record Date (rounded down to the nearest whole Cannon Share).
The Demerger will only proceed if the following conditions are met (together, the Demerger Conditions ):
-
(a) ( Transfer of Tenements ) Rox obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals for the transfer of 100% legal and beneficial interest of the Tenements to Cannon;
-
(a) ( Split commodity agreement ) Rox and Cannon entering into a split commodity agreement for Rox to retain gold rights and Cannon to retain rights to all other minerals in respect of E53/1218;
-
(b) ( Rox approvals ) Rox obtaining all necessary shareholder approvals required by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and its Constitution to give effect to the Capital Reduction and In-specie Distribution;
-
(c) ( Capital Raising ) Cannon raising $6,000,000 under the Priority Offer pursuant to the Cannon Prospectus;
-
(d) ( Cannon approvals ) Cannon receiving a letter from ASX confirming that ASX will admit Cannon to the Official List of ASX, subject to the satisfaction of terms and conditions acceptable to Cannon; and
-
(e) ( No regulatory intervention ) no regulatory intervention occurring that would otherwise prevent the Demerger from proceeding.
There is no guarantee that the Rox will proceed with the In-specie Distribution or that the Priority Offer will be successful and result in a listing on ASX.
Based on ASIC Regulatory Guide 188, the invitation to vote on the Capital Reduction Resolution of the Notice of Meeting constitutes an offer to transfer the Cannon Shares for the purposes of section 707(3) of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Rox has prepared this Prospectus.
Ineligible Rox Shareholders will have their pro rata entitlement of Cannon Shares sold by the Nominees and the net proceeds paid to the Ineligible Rox Shareholders, with the timing of the sale to coincide with Cannon successfully completing the Priority Offer, being admitted to ASX and a market for Cannon Shares being established on ASX.
The Joint Lead Managers will act on a best efforts only basis to sell the Ineligible Rox Shareholders’ Cannon Shares, and will not be liable to the Ineligible Rox Shareholders for any loss suffered as a result.
As the return of capital is being represented and satisfied by the In-specie Distribution and security prices may vary from time to time (assuming a liquid market is available), the net proceeds of sale to such Shareholders may be more or less than the notional dollar value of the reduction of capital. It will be the responsibility of each Rox Shareholder to comply with the laws to which they are subject to in the jurisdictions in which they are resident.
Short Form Prospectus - Rox Resources Limited Page 3
The release, publication or distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions other than Australia may be restricted by law or regulation in such other jurisdictions, and persons outside of Australia who come into possession of the Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable laws or regulations.
The Prospectus has been prepared in accordance with Australian law and is subject to Australian disclosure requirements. The information contained in the Prospectus may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if the Prospectus had been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of a jurisdiction outside of Australia.
2.2 Effect of the Offer on Rox
The effect of the Offer on Rox will be:
-
(a) Rox ceasing to own approximately 36,450,000 Cannon Shares (being the 45,000,000 Cannon Shares to be issued to it under the Demerger Agreement, less the approximately 8,550,000 Cannon Shares to be retained by Rox);
-
(b) Rox's share capital will be reduced by the amount to be assessed by the Rox Directors as the market value of approximately 36,450,000 Cannon Shares less a Demerger Dividend (if any); and
-
(c) Eligible Rox Shareholders that are registered on the In-specie Record Date will receive:
-
(i) one Cannon Share for approximately every 64 Rox Shares held on a preConsolidation basis; or
-
(ii) one Cannon Share for approximately every 4 Rox Shares held on a postConsolidation basis.
2.3 Effect of the Offer on Cannon
The effect of the Offer on Cannon will be that the 45,000,000 Cannon Shares to held by Rox post-completion of the Demerger Agreement will no longer be held by a sole shareholder and instead approximately 36,450,000 Cannon Shares will be transferred to Eligible Rox Shareholders that are registered on the In-specie Record Date or the Nominees (with approximately 8,550,000 Cannon Shares to be retained by Rox).
2.4 Action required by Rox Shareholders
