A copy of the announcement regarding the financing for the KOTH project and the Investor Presentation, and other announcements released to ASX should be read by shareholders, and are available on www.asx.com.au.
1.9 Risk factors
Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in the Company is subject to investment and other known and unknown risks, including possible loss of income and the principal invested. Investors should carefully read the section on risk factors outlined in section 4. An investment of this kind involves a number of risks, a number of which are specific to the Company and the industry in which it operates.
However, these risks should not be taken to be exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or its shareholders. Those risk factors referred to section 4, and others not specifically referred to in section 4, may materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of its Shares in the future.
The Company has implemented strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks. However, some risks are beyond its control. Consequently, the prevailing price or value of New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer may be more or less than the Issue Price.
The New Shares offered under this Retail Entitlement Offer carry no guarantee of profitability, dividends, return of capital or the price at which they may trade on ASX. The past performance of the Company should not necessarily be considered a guide to their future performance.
1.10 New Share terms
Each New Share will rank equally with all existing Shares then on issue. Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are set out in the Company’s Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
1.11 Holding Statements
Holding statements are expected to be despatched to Retail Shareholders on 16 April 2021. It is the responsibility of each applicant to confirm their holding before trading in New Shares. Any applicant who sells New Shares before receiving confirmation of their holding in the form of their holding statement will do so at their own risk. The Company, the Joint Lead Managers and their respective affiliates and related bodies corporate, disclaim all liability whether in negligence or otherwise (and to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before receiving their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the issue provided by Company, the Share Registry or the Joint Lead Managers.
1.12 No rights trading
Entitlements to New Shares pursuant to the Entitlement Offer are non-renounceable and accordingly will not be traded on the ASX.
1.13 Acceptance of Retail Entitlement to New Shares
The number of New Shares to which each Eligible Retail Shareholder is entitled is calculated as at the Record Date and is shown on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form

The allocation will occur in a manner which will ensure that no Shareholder or other investor will as a consequence of taking up their Entitlement and being issued any Shortfall hold a relevant interest of more than 19.99% of all of the Shares in the Company after this Entitlement Offer.
Any Shortfall will be issued within three months after the Closing Date at an Issue Price being not less than the Offer Price. As the Entitlement Offer is underwritten it is expected that all New Shares, including any Shortfall, will be issued contemporaneously on 15 April 2021.
1.16
Underwriting
The Shortfall under the Retail Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited and Petra Capital Pty Ltd (the Joint Lead Managers ).
The Underwriting Agreement contains standard commercial terms and conditions for a firm underwriting agreement for a capital raising of this size and type. It also contains customary covenants, indemnities and representations and warranties by the Company and terminating events which if they occur, will relieve the Joint Lead Managers of their underwriting obligations. The termination events are outlined in further detail in Section 5.1.
Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company will pay in aggregate, the Joint Lead Managers a fee of 2.4% of the Institutional Entitlement Offer proceeds, and a management fee of 0.6% in relation to the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer, and 2.4% of the Retail Entitlement Offer proceeds, and a management fee of 0.6% in relation to the retail
Retail Entitlement Offer Document Pursuant to s708AA(2) Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)

component of the Entitlement Offer. Further, the Joint Lead Managers are able to receive an incentive fee of 0.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offer, payable to the Joint Lead Managers at the sole discretion of the Company having regard to the overall deal execution performance of the Joint Lead Managers.
The Company has agreed to reimburse the Joint Lead Managers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Entitlement Offer, including executive time on an hourly basis ( Expenses ). If at any stage the Company terminates the agreement (unless due to default of the Joint Lead Managers) or withdraws the Entitlement Offer, the Company will be liable to reimburse the Joint Lead Managers in full for the Expenses which have accrued up until a termination or withdrawal.
Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Joint Lead Managers are responsible for paying any commission and other fees, where applicable, to any appointed sub-underwriters.
1.17
Potential effects of Underwriting on Control
The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by the Joint Lead Managers pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. The Joint Lead Managers do not currently hold any Shares or have any Relevant Interest in the Company. If the Joint Lead Managers are required to subscribe for the entire Underwritten Amount, this would amount to approximately 16% of the voting power of the Company, and it is not possible that the Joint Lead Managers could breach the takeover threshold of 20%.
The effects on control are expected to be minimal. For further information regarding underwriting, sub-underwriting and potential effects on control, refer to Sections 3 and 5.2.
1.18 ASX listing
Subject to approval being granted, quotation of the New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer is expected to commence on 15 April 2021. If granted, quotation of the New Shares will commence as soon as practicable after allotment of the New Shares to Applicants. It is the responsibility of the Applicants to determine their allocation of New Shares prior to trading.
Should the New Shares not be granted official quotation on the ASX within three months after the date of this Retail Entitlement Offer Document, none of the New Shares offered under this Retail Entitlement Offer Document will be issued and all acceptance money will be refunded without interest to Applicants within the time prescribed by the Corporations Act .
1.19 CHESS
The Company will apply for the New Shares to participate in CHESS, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
The Company will not issue certificates to Shareholders with respect to the New Shares. After allotment of the New Shares, Shareholders who are issuer sponsored will be provided with an issuer sponsored statement and those who are CHESS Holders will receive an allotment advice.
The CHESS statements, which are similar in style to bank account statements, will set out the number of New Shares allotted to each successful applicant pursuant to this Retail Entitlement Offer Document. The statement will also advise holders of their holder identification number. Further statements will be provided to holders which reflect any changes in their holding in the Company during a particular month.

3.3 Potential effect of the Offer
The Entitlement Offer is a pro-rata offer so that if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the voting power of all Eligible Shareholders will remain the same. In that event, there will be no actual or potential effect or consequences arising from the Entitlement Offer on the control of the Company.
However, Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up all of their Entitlements will have their interest in the Company diluted. In addition, the proportional shareholdings of Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders may be diluted as those Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
While the final percentage interests held by Shareholders of the Company is entirely dependent on the extent to which they are Eligible Shareholders and to the extent to which the other Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the Company expects that the potential effect of the issue of Shares under the Entitlement Offer on the control of the Company will be minimal.
In the event of a Shortfall, the Directors reserve the right to place the Shortfall at their sole discretion subject to the provisions of the Mandate Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
3.4 Underwriting and potential effects on control
The Joint Lead Managers currently do not have a Relevant Interest in the Company’s Shares. If at completion of the Entitlement Offer, the Joint Lead Managers were required to subscribe for the entire Underwritten Amount it is possible that the Joint Lead Managers may be issued with up to a maximum of 375,411,115 New Shares (subject to rounding), which would represent approximately 16% of the voting power in the Company.
The underwriting is however expected to have a minimal effect on any potential control effect of the Offer, on the basis of the following:
-
(a) the results of the Institutional Entitlement Offer were announced (on 19 March 2021) and settlement is scheduled for 24 March 2021 with allotment scheduled to be completed on 25 March 2021; and
-
(b) the Joint Lead Managers have obtained sub-underwriting commitments for the amount to be raised under the Retail Entitlement Offer, on usual commercial terms from various parties.
-
3.5

4. Risk factors
4.1 Introduction
The activities of the Company, as in any business, are subject to risks which may impact on its future performance. The Company has appropriate actions, systems and safeguards for known risks; however, some are outside its control.
Prior to making any decision to accept the Retail Entitlement Offer, Eligible Retail Shareholders should carefully consider the risk factors which the Company has previously disclosed (many of which are listed below), as well as those risks of which the Eligible Retail Shareholder is aware, or should be aware of through their own knowledge and enquiries.
Some of the risks may be mitigated by the Company using safeguards and appropriate systems and taking certain actions. However, as noted above and previously, some of the risks are outside the control of the Company and are not capable of mitigation. There are also general risks associated with any investment in shares.
The risks listed below (and previously disclosed by the Company) should not be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company. Factors other than those listed may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares. Eligible Retail Shareholders should read this Retail Entitlement Offer Document in its entirety and consult their stockbroker, accountant or other professional advisor without delay before deciding whether to accept the Retail Entitlement Offer.
4.2 General risks
The New Shares that are to be issued pursuant to the Retail Entitlement Offer are speculative because of the nature of the business of the Company, being the exploration and production of commodities. The value of shares can go up as well as down and a dividend may or may not be paid in the future, depending on the Company’s operating successes. As the holding of the Company’s securities can involve certain risks, Eligible Shareholders in doubt as to the course they should follow should consult their stockbroker, accountant or other professional advisor without delay.
A summary of the major general risks are described below:
Nature of investment
Any potential investor should be aware that subscribing for New Shares involves risks. The New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Retail Entitlement Offer carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return on capital or the market value of those New Shares. An Applicant may not be able to recoup their initial investment. More specifically, the risks are that:
Retail Entitlement Offer Document Pursuant to s708AA(2) Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
Page 19 of 37
-
(a) the price at which the Applicant is able to sell the New Shares is less than the price paid due to changes in market circumstances;
-
(b) the Applicant is unable to sell the New Shares; and
-
(c) the Company is placed in receivership or liquidation making it reasonably foreseeable that Shareholders could receive none, or only some, of their initial investment.
Stock market
The New Shares may trade on the ASX at higher or lower prices than the Issue Price during or following the Entitlement Offer. Investors who decide to sell their New Shares may not receive the entire amount of their original investment.
The Shares are currently listed on the ASX. However, there can be no guarantee that there is or will be an active market in the Shares or that the price of the New Shares will increase.
The price at which the New Shares trade on the ASX may be affected by the financial performance of the Company and by external factors over which the Directors and the Company have no control. These factors include movements on international share markets, commodity prices, local interest rates and exchange rates, domestic and international economic conditions, government taxation, market supply and demand and other legal, regulatory or policy changes.
Economic factors
The operating and financial performance of the Company is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions including the levels of consumer confidence and spending, business confidence and investment, employment, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, access to debt and capital markets, fiscal policy, monetary policy and regulatory policies. A prolonged deterioration in any number of the above factors may have a material adverse impact on the Company's business and financial performance.
Management actions
The Directors will, to the best of their knowledge, experience and ability (in conjunction with management) endeavour to anticipate, identify and manage the risks inherent in the activities of the Company, but without assuming any personal liability for same, with the aim of eliminating, avoiding and mitigating the impact of risks on the performance of the Company and its securities.
The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon its key management personnel, as well as other management personnel and employees, skilled operators and tradespeople. The loss of the services of such personnel could have a material adverse effect upon the Company. To address this risk the Company has secured a number of key personnel by service and consultancy contracts.
Contractors
The Company is dependent on contractors and supplier to supply vital services to its operations. The Company is therefore exposed to the possibility of adverse developments in the business environments of its contractors and suppliers. Any disruption to services or supply may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company.
Unforeseen expenses
While the Company is not aware of any expenses that may need to be incurred that have not been taken into account, if such expenses were subsequently incurred, the expenditure proposals of the Company may be adversely affected.
Additional capital requirements
The Company's ability to effectively implement its business strategy over time is dependant in part on its ability to utilise available funding, and potentially to raise additional funds. There can be no assurance that any such equity or debt 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 take advantage of opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures. In the event the Company fails to obtain sufficient financing when required, the Company may be forced to delay or eliminate its potential future development activities, sell existing assets or reduce its operations.

Regulatory risk, Government policy
Changes in relevant policy, taxation, interest rates, other legal, legislative and administrative regimes and Government policies in Australia, may have an adverse effect on the assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and the market price of its securities. The activities of the Company will be subject to various federal, state and local laws governing prospecting, development, production, environmental remediation of mining activities, taxes, labour standards and occupational health and safety, climate change and other matters.
Health and Safety Risk
As with any mining project, there are health and safety risks associated with the Company’s operations in Australia. The Company manages these risks, through the application of structured health and safety management systems. As the operator of plant and equipment, the Company has specific legislative obligations to ensure that its personnel and contractors operate in a safe working environment.
Insurance Risk
The Company maintains insurance within ranges of coverage the Company believes to be consistent with industry practice and having regard to the nature of activities being conducted. No assurance, however, can be given that the Company will be able to continue to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates or that any coverage it arranges will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.
Competition Risk
The Company is one of a large number of producing mining companies that operates in the precious metals industry in Australia. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with other precious metals producing companies in the search for reserves and resources of precious metals.
4.3
Risks specific to an investment in the Company
In addition to the general risks noted in section 4.2, Eligible Retail Shareholders should be aware of risks specific to an investment in the Company, which may include, but are not limited to the following:
Underwriting Risk
The obligation of the Joint Lead Managers to fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer is subject to certain events of termination, being occurrence of the termination events set out in Section 5.1.
Financial close of Debt Facility
The Company has executed the commitment letters for the debt financing on the terms of which are summarised in the announcement to ASX dated 17 March 2021 and referred to in Section 5.3. Although there remains a risk that the execution of finance documents, financial close and drawdown may not occur, given the terms the subject of the commitment letter of offer have credit approval and the extensive due diligence process by the Syndicate Banks, and the Syndicate Banks’ technical expert, the directors are confident the Company will be able to satisfy each condition and that the project finance facilities will be documented and financial close will be achieved during June Quarter 2021.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant market uncertainty in global equity, currency, finance, trade and commodity markets. The effects of this pandemic are far-reaching and uncertain outcomes may impact the timing and viability of further investment in the Company and the Company’s operations generally. Global financial markets have been severely impacted by this pandemic and such impacts may affect the ability of the Company to raise equity and debt.
To date, COVID-19 has not had any material impact on the Company’s operations, however, any infections at the Company’s headquarters or to any of the Company’s personnel could result
Retail Entitlement Offer Document Pursuant to s708AA(2) Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
Page 21 of 37
in operations being suspended or otherwise disrupted for an unknown period of time which may have an adverse impact and adverse implications on future cash flows, profitability and financial condition.
The general level of economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may also adversely impact the company’s operations, financial position and prospects.
The Company has developed and implemented a Management Response Plan focused on ensuring the health and safety of its people and limited the risk of its operations, and will continue to review this response based on the latest guidance from health professionals and the government as the situation develops.
Commodity price fluctuations
The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale of gold. Consequently, the Company’s potential future earnings, profitability and growth are likely to be closely related to the demand for and price of gold. Gold is a traded commodity in Australia and its long-term price may rise or fall. Additionally, the Company’s prospects and perceived value will be influenced from time to time by the prevailing short-term prices of the commodities targeted in its exploration and production programs.
Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for commodities, forward selling by producers and the level of production costs in major commodity-producing regions. Moreover, commodity prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, commodities.
These factors may cause volatility which in turn, may affect the Company’s ability to finance its future exploration and/or bring the Company’s product to market.
The Company may enter into hedging arrangements from time to time to partially protect against changes in the gold price. As noted in Section 5.3 the Company has a mandatory hedging commitment in connection with the Debt Facility, which is linked to the gold price. Although there remains a risk that gold price fluctuation may adversely impact on the price at which this hedging is secured, the directors are confident the Company will be able to secure the mandatory hedging within the estimated guidance (refer Section 5.3(e)).
Contractual arrangements
The Company is a party to a number of material contracts and may be advanced in the finalisation of other contracts. Failure by any other party to a contract with the Company to comply with their obligations could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Additionally, the failure by the Company to finalise and execute contracts presently under negotiation or to finalise conditions arising under existing conditional material contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Project delay
To the extent that operational, construction and development activities are delayed for any of the production or development projects in which the Company is the operator or is to be granted management rights, this may affect the total development costs and the timing and level of proceeds derived from the operation which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Construction and Commissioning Risk
The construction of KOTH, by its nature, contains elements of risk with no guarantee of success. There is an inherent risk that KOTH construction and development may not stay on schedule, or that construction costs may exceed the budget, or that significant problems in commissioning or metallurgical processes of the plant and/or site may arise.
Sovereign and associated risks associated with operating in the Philippines
Red 5’s Siana project and Mapawa project are located in the Philippines and Red 5 is therefore subject to the risks associated with holding assets in that country, including various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. The Siana project suspended operations in April 2017 pending an improvement in operating conditions in the Philippines. Terrorist attacks against mining companies have occurred in the Philippines and on the island of Mindanao,
Retail Entitlement Offer Document Pursuant to s708AA(2) Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
Page 22 of 37
where the Company’s projects are located. There is no guarantee that there will not be any terrorist activities against the Company in the future. The Company maintains good relations with the local community and a large proportion of the workforce is sourced from the neighbouring villages, which assists in reducing the risk of any terrorist activities. Furthermore, Red 5’s Philippine projects are governed by Philippine legislation. Changes in legislative and administrative regimes, taxation laws, interest rates, and other legal and government policies in the Philippines may have an adverse effect on the projects, and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Company’s shares. These costs and associated uncertainties may be enhanced in the event the Siana project resumes operations. Further, as noted in the Company’s Investor Presentation on 17 March 2021, the Company is assessing options for these assets, including the potential sale of the Siana and Mapawa project.
Environmental risks
The operations and activities of the Company are subject to State and Commonwealth laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. Such impacts can give rise to substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage, control and losses. Further, where there are environmental rehabilitation conditions attaching to the mining tenements of the Company, failure to meet such conditions could lead to forfeiture of these tenements.
Tenure and native title risks
Interests in exploration and mining tenements in Australia are governed by State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of leases or licences. Each lease or licence is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting conditions as well as other conditions requiring compliance. These conditions include the requirement, for exploration licences, for reduction in the area held under licence from time to time unless it is considered that special circumstances apply. Consequently the Company could lose title to, or its interest in, its tenements if licence conditions are not met or if expenditure commitments are not met.
It is possible that, in relation to tenements in which the Company has an interest or may acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to obtain the consent of any relevant land owner, or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of the operation, may be adversely affected.
It is possible that there will exist on the Company’s mining tenements, areas containing sacred sites or sites of significance to Aboriginal people subject to the provisions of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA), or areas subject to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) in Australia. As a result land within the tenements may be subject to exploration, mining or other restrictions as a result of claims of Aboriginal heritage sites or native title.
Exploration and development
Mineral exploration and development are high risk and involve significant risks. The Company’s performance depends on the successful exploration and/or acquisition of resources or reserves and commercial production therefrom.
There can be no assurance that any exploration or development activity in regard to the Company’s properties, or any properties that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery or exploitation of an economic resource.
Mineral exploration, development and mining/extraction may be hampered by circumstances beyond the control of the Company.
Exploration risks
Exploration is a high-risk activity that requires large amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time. The Company’s exploration activities will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration of minerals, including climatic conditions, hazards of operating vehicles and plant, risks associated with operating in remote areas and other similar considerations. Conclusions drawn during exploration and development are subject to the uncertainties associated with all sampling techniques and to the risk of incorrect interpretation of geological, geochemical, geophysical, drilling and other data.

Resource and Reserve Estimates
Resource and reserve estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates, which were valid when originally calculated, may alter when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates may change. Accordingly, the actual resources may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions and no assurances can be given that the resource estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised. This could result in alterations to development and mining/extraction plans, which may, in turn, affect the Company’s operations and ultimately the Company’s financial performance and value.
Production and cost estimates and forecasts
The Company undertakes its business planning using a range of estimates and forecasts using information available to it at that point in time. These plans include estimates of future production and of the cash costs and capital costs of that production. The ability of the Company to achieve production targets, or meet operating or capital expenditure budgets or estimates cannot be assured. Actual costs of production may be impacted by factors such as variations in ore grade, mine operating conditions, including geotechnical conditions, metallurgical recoveries, labour costs and availability, as well as accidents, poor performance and general economic factors. A failure to realise estimated forecasts and plans could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial and operating performance.
Operational and technical risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades and/or resources in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining and extraction, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical or recovery problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
Exchange rate fluctuations
International prices of most commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company, whilst operating on Australian projects, will be in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar, subject to any currency hedging that might be undertaken.
General economic conditions
Economic conditions, both domestic and global, may affect the performance of Company. Factors such as fluctuations in currencies, commodity prices, inflation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption may have an impact on operating costs and share market prices. The Company’s future possible revenues and share price can be affected by these factors, all of which are beyond the control of the Company.
Equity market conditions
Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of mining and exploration companies, including the Company, can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. The market price of securities may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general.
General factors that may affect the market price of securities include economic conditions in both Australia and internationally, investor sentiment, local and international share market conditions, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation, variations in commodity prices, the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation (including any changes adopted to address climate change issues), changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia, and changes in exchange rates.

Page 24 of 37
Other
Other risk factors include those normally found in conducting business, including litigation resulting from the breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) or any other cause, strikes, lockouts, loss of service of key management or operational personnel, weather and climate, non-insurable risks, delay in resumption of activities after reinstatement following the occurrence of an insurable risk and other matters that may interfere with the business or trade of the Company.
Shareholders should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares.

5.2 Sub-underwriting Agreements
The Joint Lead Managers have entered into various sub-underwriting agreements in relation to the Underwritten Amount.

5.3 Debt Facility for KOTH Project
The Company has received and executed a committed letter of offer from BNP Paribas, Australia branch, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Sydney Branch and Macquarie Bank Limited (together the Syndicate Banks ) for project financing facilities for the development of KOTH. Settlement of the Institutional Entitlement Offer component will satisfy a requirement of the project financing facilities for the Company to raise not less than A$33 million in equity. The Company and the Syndicate Banks are now working towards satisfying conditions precedent for financial close. Those conditions precedent include execution of finance documents, satisfaction of typical conditions precedent outlined in the agreed term sheet and completion of due diligence satisfactory to the Syndicate Banks. Although there remains a risk that the execution of finance documents, financial close and drawdown may not occur, given the terms the subject of the commitment letter of offer have credit approval and the extensive due diligence process by the Syndicate Banks, and the Syndicate Banks’ technical expert, the directors are confident the Company will be able to satisfy each condition and that the project

6. Additional information
6.1 Section 708AA Corporations Act
The Company is a disclosing entity and therefore subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act . Under those obligations, the Company is obliged to comply with all applicable continuous disclosure and reporting requirements in the Listing Rules.
This Retail Entitlement Offer is being undertaken pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act . This section enables disclosing entities to undertake a rights issue in relation to securities in a class of securities which has been quoted by ASX at all times during the 12 months before the date of the Retail Entitlement Offer. Apart from formal matters a notice under section 708AA(2)(f) need only:
-
(a) contain information that is excluded information as at the date of the Retail Entitlement Offer Document pursuant to section 708AA(8) and (9); and
-
(b) state:
-
(1) the potential effect the issue of the New Shares will have on the control of the Company; and
-
(2) the consequences of that effect.
A notice under section 708AA(2)(f) was lodged with the ASX on 17 March 2021.
In addition, as a result of ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84, section 708AA(12) requires that if, after the notice required under section 708AA(2)(f) ( Cleansing Notice ) has been lodged and before the New Shares are issued ( Relevant Period ) the Company becomes aware of:
-
(a) any information that would be Excluded Information for the purpose of the Cleansing Notice; or
-
(b) a material change to the potential effect the issue of the relevant securities will have on the control of the Company or the consequences of that effect,

Page 30 of 37
( Additional Information ), the Company must disclose that Additional Information to the ASX as soon as practicable and before the end of the Relevant Period.
Accordingly, the Company will disclose by announcement to the ASX any Additional Information that it becomes aware of during the Relevant Period.
6.2
Ineligible Shareholders
All Shareholders who do not satisfy the criteria to be an Eligible Retail Shareholder or an Eligible Institutional Shareholder, are Ineligible Shareholders. Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer, unless the Company otherwise determines. The restrictions upon eligibility to participate in the Entitlement Offer arise because the Company has determined, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3)(a) of the Corporations Act, that it would be unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders. This decision has been made after taking into account the relatively small number and value of New Shares to which those Shareholders would otherwise be entitled and the potential costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions in which the Ineligible Shareholders are located in relation to the Entitlement Offer. The Company, in its absolute discretion, may extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to any Shareholder if it is satisfied that the Retail Entitlement Offer may be made to the Shareholder in compliance with all applicable laws. The Company, in its absolute discretion, reserves the right to determine whether a Shareholder is an Ineligible Retail Shareholder. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all liability in respect of such determination. The price at which the Ineligible Entitlements will be sold is the Issue Price. Accordingly, Ineligible Shareholders will not receive any value as a result of the issue of any of those New Shares they would have been entitled to subscribe for had they been eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
6.3 Rights and liabilities attaching to New Shares
The New Shares will have from issue the same rights attaching to all existing Shares on issue. The rights attaching to ownership of the New Shares are set out in the Company’s Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the registered office of the Company during business hours.
This Retail Entitlement Offer Document does not contain a summary of the principal rights and liabilities of holders of the New Shares.
6.4
Expenses of the Offer
All expenses connected with the Entitlement Offer are being borne by the Company. Total expenses of the Entitlement Offer are estimated to be in the order of approximately $2.3 million.
