1.2 Short Form Prospectus

This Prospectus is a short form prospectus issued in accordance with Section 712 of the Corporations Act.

1.3 Exposure Period

The Corporations Act prohibits the Company from distributing and transferring the TIPL Shares to the Shareholders during the Exposure Period. The purpose of the Exposure Period is to enable this Prospectus to be examined by market participants prior to the distribution and transfer of TIPL Shares. As the General Meeting will be held on 9 October 2017, the Exposure Period will have ended by the time the In-specie Distribution occurs, assuming Shareholders approve the Capital Reduction Resolution.

This Prospectus (including the Notice of Meeting) will be made generally available during the Exposure Period by being posted on AR1's website www.arrowheadresources.com.au. A paper copy will be made available to Australian residents on request to AR1 during the Exposure Period.

1.4 Forwarding-looking statements

This Prospectus may contain forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.

Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the AR1 Directors and management. The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law. These forward looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements.

2. THE OFFER

2.1 Terms and Conditions of the Offer

The terms and conditions of the Offer are set out in the Notice of Meeting accompanying this Prospectus.

In broad terms, the Notice of Meeting includes the Capital Reduction Resolution pursuant to which AR1 proposes an equal reduction of capital (of an amount assessed by AR1 Directors) to be satisfied by the distribution and transfer of 136,593,414 TIPL Shares to be held by AR1 to Shareholders registered as such on the Record Date in proportion to their respective holdings of Shares as at that date.

The In-specie Distribution will only proceed if the following conditions are met:

  • (a) AR1 obtains Shareholder approval for the In-specie Distribution pursuant to the Capital Reduction Resolution (Resolution 16); and

  • (b) the Acquisition Agreement becoming unconditional,

(together, the Transaction Conditions )

Under ASIC Regulatory Guide 188, the issue of the Notice of Meeting with the Capital Reduction Resolution constitutes an offer by AR1 of the transfer of the TIPL Shares to be distributed and transferred to eligible Shareholders pursuant to Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act and accordingly AR1 has prepared this Prospectus to accompany the Notice of Meeting.

Shareholders should note that the In-specie Distribution of the TIPL Shares to overseas Shareholders under the Capital Reduction will be subject to legal and regulatory requirements in their relevant overseas jurisdictions. If the requirements of any jurisdiction where a Shareholder is resident are held to restrict or prohibit the distribution of securities as proposed or would impose on AR1 an obligation to prepare a prospectus or other similar disclosure document or otherwise impose on AR1 an undue burden, the TIPL Shares to which the relevant Shareholder is entitled will not in fact be issued to such Shareholders and instead will be sold by AR1 on their behalf, in order that AR1 will pay the relevant Shareholder a cash equivalent amount, or otherwise AR1 will seek to make alternative arrangements with respect to the relevant Shareholder which are reasonable in all the circumstances.

If AR1 elects to sell the TIPL Shares on a relevant Shareholder's behalf, AR1 will then account to those Shareholders for the net proceeds of sale after deducting the costs and expenses of the sale. 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 Shareholder to comply with the laws to which they are subject in the jurisdictions in which they are resident.

2.2 Effect of the Offer on the Company

The principal effects of the Offer will be that the Company ceases to hold the 136,593,414 TIPL Shares to be distributed and transferred to the Shareholders and that the share capital of the Company will be reduced by the amount to be assessed by the AR1 Directors as the market value of such TIPL Shares.

The purpose of the Offer is set out in section 2.1 of this Prospectus.

3

3477-13/1765171_1

2.3 Action Required by Shareholders

No action is required to be taken by Shareholders under this Prospectus. Should Shareholder approval be obtained for the Capital Reduction Resolution, the Transaction Conditions are satisfied and the Capital Reduction proceeds to be implemented, then the TIPL Shares will be distributed and transferred to eligible Shareholders in accordance with the terms of the Capital Reduction Resolution and AR1's constitution, whether you voted for or against the Capital Reduction Resolution or did not vote at all (or did not attend the Meeting).

In accordance with ASIC Instrument 2017/242, no application form is required to be completed or returned to participate in the proposed distribution and transfer of TIPL Shares under the Capital Reduction and no application form is included in or accompanies this Prospectus.

If you have any queries regarding this Prospectus, please contact the Company Secretary on +61 8 9246 4483.
