Supplementary Bidder’s Statement for the Offer by Mercantile OFM Pty Ltd (ACN 120 221 623) (Mercantile OFM) to acquire all the ordinary shares in MHM Metals Limited (ACN 124 212 175) (MHM)
Introduction
This document is a Supplementary Bidder’s Statement given pursuant to Division 4 of Part 6.5 of the Corporations Act 2001 in compliance with the requirements of Section 645 of the Corporations Act ( Supplementary Bidder’s Statement ).
It is the first Supplementary Bidder’s Statement prepared by Mercantile OFM in relation to the Offer from Mercantile OFM to acquire all the issued shares in MHM to be undertaken under Mercantile OFM’s Bidder’s Statement dated 10 January 2017 ( Original Bidder’s Statement ).
This Supplementary Bidder’s Statement supplements, and should be read together with, the Original Bidder’s Statement.
Defined Terms
Defined terms used in this Supplementary Bidder’s Statement are capitalised and have the meaning given to them in Section 10 of the Original Bidder’s Statement.
Incorrect details in relation to MHM Securities and Consideration under the Offer
At paragraphs 5.1, 8.1 and 10 of the Original Bidders Statement, Mercantile OFM inadvertently understated the total amount of MHM Shares on issue and the total amount of consideration that Mercantile OFM would be required to pay under the Offer.
The correct total amount of MHM Shares on issue is 136,228,616.
Accordingly, paragraph 5.1 of the Original Bidder’s Statement is amended to read:
“5.1 Consideration under the Offer
The total amount that Mercantile OFM would be required to pay for MHM Shares if Mercantile OFM acquires all of the MHM Shares on issue on the date of this Bidder's Statement in which it does not have a Relevant Interest is $5,444,345.”
Accordingly, paragraph 8.1 of the Original Bidder’s Statement is amended to read:
“8.1 MHM capital structure
As at the date of this Bidder's Statement, there are 136,228,616 MHM Shares on issue.
As at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, there are 750,000 MHM Options over unissued MHM shares on issue, with exercise prices between $0.45 and $1.35 per share and maturities between 14 February 2017 and 13 November 2017.”
Accordingly, paragraph 10 of the Original Bidder’s Statement is amended to read:
“10 Mercantile OFM’s Relevant Interests
At the date of this Offer, there are 136,228,616 MHM Shares on issue. Immediately before this Offer was sent, Mercantile OFM had a Relevant Interest in 120,000 MHM Shares. This constitutes 0.1% of all of the MHM Shares on issue.”
Omission of a Major MHM Shareholder
At paragraph 3.5 of the Original Bidders Statement, a major MHM shareholder was inadvertently omitted and it is amended to read:
“3.5 Major MHM Shareholders

Incorrect details of MHM’s historical financial performance
At paragraph 3.5 of the Original Bidders Statement, some details were inadvertently misstated in the overview of MHM’s historical financial performance and it is amended to read:
