3 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of Radar Iron Ltd, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the fully underwritten 1 for 1 non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer at an issue price of $0.035 per New Share to raise approximately $4.6 million (before costs).
Upon completion of the Offer, I believe that Radar will be in a position to benefit by building on the efforts of recent years. Radar acquired two new iron ore projects in 2014, the Yerecoin Project near Perth and the Uruara project in Brazil. Both projects have the potential for production in the near term for a low capital cost. Radar’s strategic objective has been to develop or acquire projects that enable early production of high quality, higher margin DSO ores and magnetite concentrates for the steel industry.
The Yerecoin project is the key focus for Radar at present. With the significant current JORC resource, excellent metallurgical properties and access to infrastructure, Radar is confident that a viable operation can be established in the medium term.
The fund raising proposed in the rights issue detailed in this document will enable the Company to progress the technical studies necessary to achieve an early development decision at Yerecoin and to undertake an initial drilling programme at the Uruara project. Radar is now in the process of transitioning from an explorer to a miner.
Radar welcomed Victory Mining (a Sydney-based private investment company) as its largest shareholder in October and its continuing support through the underwriting of the rights issue will provide the support for the Company to achieve its development goals.
This Prospectus and personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form should be read carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether to participate in this Offer. In particular Eligible Shareholders should consider the key risk factors outlined in section 6 of this Prospectus.
On behalf of your Board, I invite you to consider this investment opportunity and thank you for your ongoing support for the Company.
Yours faithfully,
Alan Tough
Chairman

5.6 Effect on control
- (a) Underwriter
Victory Mining is a Sydney-based private investment company, with a focus on mineral investments in Australia and abroad. The proposed investment in the Company is Victory Mining’s first investment in Australia.
The Underwriter currently has a relevant interest in 26,100,000 Shares being 19.74% of the Company’s Shares.
As detailed in the section 8.4 of this Prospectus, the Underwriter has agreed to fully underwrite the Offer. Shareholders approved the Underwriter acquiring a relevant interest in the Company as a result of the underwriting at the Annual General Meeting held on 19 November 2014.
The Underwriter’s relevant interests in the Company following the Offer will depend upon the number of New Shares taken up and the number of New Shares subscribed for under the Shortfall Offer in excess of their Entitlement.
Assuming no further Shares are issued prior to the Record Date, the maximum number of Shares the Underwriter will have a relevant interest in and its voting power will be as follows:
Page 9

|---|---|---|

- 1 This includes any Shortfall Shares issued to Eligible Shareholders or others. Eligible Shareholders can apply for Shortfall Shares in excess of their Entitlement under the Shortfall Offer. As set out in section 8.7, any Shortfall Shares will be issued to Eligible Shareholders with Unmarketable Parcels first and then at the Directors’ discretion with consultation with the Underwriter.
(b) Others
As the Offer is non-renounceable, the Company has not appointed a nominee for the purposes of section 615 of the Corporations Act and Shareholders may not rely upon item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act to have a voting power of 20% or more.
Other than disclosed in this Prospectus, no person’s voting power in the Company may increase to 20% or more as a result of the issue of the New Shares.
(c) Dilution
As the Offer is fully underwritten, Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer will have their holdings diluted by 50% following the Offer.

Prospectus – Radar Iron Limited
6 RISK FACTORS
The New Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult with your professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.
There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the New Shares.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
6.1 Risk specific to the Offer
(a) Dilution
Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlement will have their holding in the Company diluted by 50% as the Offer is fully underwritten.
(b) Control
The maximum voting power that the Underwriter may have following the Offer is 59.87%. The Underwriter has advised the Company that it currently has no intention to change the Company’s current or future business operations. However, there is a risk that circumstances may change in the future and the Underwriter’s interests may not align with other Shareholders’ interests.
6.2 Company and industry risks
The risks outlined below are specific to the Company’s operations and to the resource exploration industry in which the Company operates.
- (a) Exploration
The Company is an exploration company and is focused on finding and developing iron ore deposits. The Company currently has three projects, being the Yerecoin Project (acquired in April 2014), the Central Yilgarn Project in Western Australia, and the Uruara Project in Brazil.
The tenements and projects held by the Company are early stage with limited exploration and investors should understand that mineral exploration is a high risk activity. The Company does not provide any assurances that its exploration activities will guarantee the discovery and/or economic exploitation of a significant mineral resource
The renewal of tenements upon expiry of their current term and granting of applications for mining tenements are subject to Ministerial (or other government authority) discretion. Non-approval or a delay in the approval process could have a negative impact on exploration conducted by the Company as well as its Share price.
Page 11
Prospectus – Radar Iron Limited
The exploration and operating costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to exploration methods and the timing of exploration activities undertaken. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainties and as such, actual costs may materially differ from the estimates and assumptions. No assurances can be provided that cost estimates and their underlying assumptions will be realised in practice which could adversely affect the Company.
(b) Future capital needs and additional funding
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company had approximately $700,000 cash on hand.
The funds raised from the Offer will primarily be used to meet the remaining payments for the acquisition of the Yerecoin Project ($2,880,000) and then advance technical studies on the Yerecoin Project that are necessary for a decision to mine, and commence drilling on the Uruara Project in Brazil. There is a risk that the Company’s funds will not be sufficient for this and that further funding will be required.
If one of the Company’s projects proceeds to the development phase, the Company will require further funding within the next 15 months. The Company is yet to determine the quantum of funding for production, however it may be significant. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient funds, the development of the project may have to be deferred.
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, subsequent 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.
(c) Iron ore prices
As an explorer for iron ore and potentially other minerals, any earnings of the Company are expected to be closely related to the price of iron ore.
Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include worldwide and regional supply and demand for commodities, general world economic conditions and the outlook for interest rates, inflation and other economic factors on both a regional and global basis. These factors may have a positive or negative effect on the Company's exploration, project development and production plans and activities, together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.
(d) Currency risk
Page 12
Prospectus – Radar Iron Limited
Currency fluctuations will affect the cash flow that the Company may realise from, or expend on, exploration and mining operations. International prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company will be taken into account in Australian dollars. This exposes the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets. Fluctuations in exchange rates to which the Company are exposed will cause fluctuations in the potential income of the Company.
(e) Title and application risk
The Company’s mining tenements are governed by mining legislation of the relevant country or state. Each tenement is for a specific term and in Western Australia each tenement carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments as well as other conditions requiring compliance. In Brazil, there are no such formal requirements, but the company must prepare a report to the Government at the end of each three year term of the tenement so that the Government may determine if a further three year term is justified. There is a risk that the Company could lose title to one or more of its tenements if tenement conditions (including annual expenditure commitments in Western Australia) are not met.
(f) Operating risks
The Company’s operations may be affected by various factors including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits; failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining; operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining; the existence or absence of appropriate infrastructure, difficulties in operating plant and equipment; mechanical failures or breakdowns; shipping and port access constraints, unanticipated metallurgical 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.
No assurances can be provided that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to extract value from its projects, the Company is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
(g) Resource estimates
The Company has previously announced resource estimates. Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice (refer to the JORC Code for further information on resource estimation). Estimates that were valid when originally made may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available.
In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate, and whilst the Company will employ industry-standard techniques including compliance with the JORC Code to reduce the resource estimation risk, there is no assurance that this approach will alter the risk. As further information becomes available through additional
Page 13
Prospectus – Radar Iron Limited
fieldwork and analysis, resource estimates may change. This may result in alterations to mining and development plans which may in turn adversely affect the Company.
(h) Environmental
The exploration and operational activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws concerning the environment.
The majority of the Company’s activities involve low level disturbance associated with exploration drilling programs. Approvals, licences and hearings and other regulatory requirements are performed as required by the management of the Company for each permit or lease in which the Company has an interest in.
The Directors believe that the Company has, in all material respects, complied with all particular and significant environmental regulations relevant to its operations.
(i)
Joint Venture for the Uruara Project
The Company is currently a party to a farmin agreement for the Uruara Project in Brazil.
As disclosed in the Company’s annual report (refer to ASX announcement on 30 September 2014), the exploration commitment under the farmin agreement is approximately $1,448,120 to earn 50% of the project. Radar plans to spend approximately $150,000 in coming months on the initial drill testing of identified prospects. If exploration results do not meet the Company’s hurdles, the Company is not committed to spend the full sum and can withdraw without further obligation.
(j) Legal risk
The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments, developments in existing common law, or the respective interpretation of the legal requirements in any of the legal jurisdictions which govern the Company’s operations or contractual obligations could impact adversely on the assets, operations and financial performance of the Company and its securities. In addition, there is a commercial risk that legal action may be taken against the Company in relation to commercial matters.
(k)
Access risk and native title
The Company’s tenement interests are governed by Federal and State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments. The Company could lose title to its interests in its tenements if expenditure and reporting commitments are not met when they arise.
The Company’s tenements are on a combination of freehold land, pastoral leases and crown land reserves of various categories also exist in some tenements. There may be areas over which legitimate Native Title rights exist. If Native Title rights do exist the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner or Native Title claimant), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operation may be adversely affected.
Page 14
Prospectus – Radar Iron Limited
Owners of private land in Western Australia have a right to veto access to the land by an explorer. The Company has reached agreement with some, but not all private landowners and may, if agreement with the remaining landowners cannot be reached, be restricted from accessing certain areas.
Access to freehold land may be subject to agreements reached with any relevant landowner regarding restrictions of access whilst land is subject to cropping or animal husbandry practices. Adverse weather conditions may also restrict access to land for the purpose of carrying out activities such as drilling.
(l) Uninsured loss and liability
Exploration for and development of minerals involves hazards and risks that could result in the Company incurring losses and liabilities to third parties. There is a risk that the Company may not be insured against all potential losses or liabilities that could arise from its activities. If the Company incurs losses or liabilities that are not covered by its insurance policies, the funds available for exploration with be reduced and could create risk for the value of the Company’s assets.
(m) Country risk
The Company is currently farming into the Uruara Project in Brazil. The Company’s operations will be affected by the political, economic, legal and social factors in Brazil.
6.3 General investment risks
The risks outlined below are some of the general risks that may affect an investment in the Company.
(a) Securities investments and share market conditions
There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the securities 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.
(b) Liquidity risk
The market for the Company’s Shares may be illiquid. As a consequence investors may be unable to readily exit or realise their investment.
(c) Economic risk
Changes in both Australia and world economic conditions may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, industrial disruption and economic growth may impact on future operations and earnings. The Company’s possible revenues and price of its securities can be affected by these factors which are beyond the control of the Company and its Directors.

Page 16
Prospectus – Radar Iron Limited
The completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form must be accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to ‘ Radar Iron Limited ’ and crossed ‘Not Negotiable’ for the appropriate application money in Australian dollars calculated at $0.035 per New Share accepted. Your cheque, bank draft or money order must be paid in Australian currency and be drawn on an Australian branch of an Australian financial institution. The Company will present the cheque or bank draft on the day of receipt of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You must ensure that your cheque account has sufficient funds to cover your payment, as your cheque will be presented for payment on receipt. If your bank dishonours your cheque your application will be rejected. Dishonoured cheques will not be represented.
If the amount of your cheque(s), bank draft(s) or money order(s) for application money (or the amount for which those cheque(s) or bank draft(s) clear in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you may be taken to have applied for such lower number of New Shares as your cleared application money will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form) or your Application may be rejected.
The Entitlement and Acceptance Form must be received by the Company at either of the following addresses by no later than 5.00 pm (WST) on the Closing Date:

|---|---|
| Security Transfer Registrars Pty. Limited | Security Transfer Registrars Pty. Limited |
| PO Box 535 | 770 Canning Highway |

BPAY
Alternatively, if you are paying by BPAY, refer to your personalised instructions on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Shareholders who wish to pay by BPAY must ensure that payment is received by no later than 5pm AEDT (2pm WST) on the Closing Date.

If you have more than one shareholding and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those shareholdings only use the Customer Reference Number specific to that shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same Customer Reference Number for more than one of your shareholdings. This can result in your application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining shareholdings will not be recognised as valid).
The Company will not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays or delay in the receipt of the BPAY payment.

By completing and returning your Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite application monies, or by making a payment in respect of an Application by BPAY, you will be deemed to have represented that you are an Eligible Shareholder. In addition, you will also be deemed to have represented and warranted on behalf of yourself or each person on whose account you are acting that the law in your place of residence and/or where you have been given the Prospectus, does not prohibit you from being given the Prospectus and that you:
-
(a) agree to be bound by the terms of the Offer;
-
(b) declare that all details and statements in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form are complete and accurate;
-
(c) declare that you are over 18 years of age and have full legal capacity and power to perform all your rights and obligations under the Entitlement and Acceptance Form;

The Entitlement and Acceptance Form does not need to be signed to be a valid application. An Application will be deemed to have been accepted by the Company upon allotment of the New Shares.
If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly or if the accompanying payment of the application monies is for the wrong amount, it may still be treated as a valid application for New Shares. The Directors’ decision whether to treat an acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final. However, an Applicant will not be treated as having applied for more Shares than is indicated by the amount of the application monies received.

The Offer is made to Eligible Shareholders, who are those Shareholders that:
-
(a) are the registered holder of Shares as at 5pm (WST) on the Record Date; and
-
(b) have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.
8.6 No Rights trading
The Offer is non-renounceable. This means that the rights of Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for New Shares under this Prospectus are not transferable and there will be no trading of rights on ASX. Eligible Shareholders who choose not to take up their rights will receive no benefit and their shareholding in the Company will be diluted as a result.
8.7 Shortfall
Any New Shares not applied for under the Offer will become Shortfall Shares. The Directors, in consultation with the Underwriter, reserve the right to issue any Shortfall Shares at their discretion within 3 months after the Closing Date ( Shortfall Offer ).
The Shortfall Offer is, to the extent it is made in Australia, made under this Prospectus. To the extent the Shortfall Offer is made outside Australia, the Shortfall Offer is made without disclosure, a prospectus, lodgement, filing or registration, or other requirements of any applicable securities law, and only in circumstances where it is lawful to do so (such as to institutional or sophisticated investors).
Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Shares by completing the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form. Other investors who are not Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Shares using the Shortfall Application Form attached to this Prospectus. Persons outside Australia doing so represent to the Company that they can apply for Shortfall Shares in circumstances which do not require the offer for Shortfall Shares or this Prospectus to be registered.
It is possible that there may be no Shortfall Shares available for issue. The Company will allocate Shortfall Shares:

Page 20
Prospectus – Radar Iron Limited
- (b) then, at the Directors’ discretion in consultation with the Underwriter.
Subject to the above, the Directors reserve the right at their absolute discretion to reject any application for Shortfall Shares or to issue a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than that applied for, and it is an express term of the Shortfall Offer that applicants for Shortfall Shares will be bound to accept a lesser number of Shortfall Shares allocated to them than applied for. If a lesser number is allocated, excess application money will be refunded without interest as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.
8.8 Offer outside Australia and New Zealand
Recipients may not send or otherwise distribute this Prospectus or the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to any person outside Australia or New Zealand.
8.9 Treatment of Overseas Shareholders

(b) Elsewhere
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to issue the Prospectus or make the Offer. No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Shares or the Offer or otherwise to permit an offering of the New Shares in any jurisdiction other than as set out in this section.

Prospectus – Radar Iron Limited
8.10 Beneficial holders, nominees, trustees and custodians
The foreign selling restrictions under the Offer summarised in section 8.9 of this Prospectus apply to the underlying beneficial holder. Nominees, trustees and custodians must not apply on behalf of any beneficial holder that would not itself be an Eligible Shareholder. Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are advised to seek independent advice as to how they should proceed. Shareholders who hold Shares on behalf of persons whose registered address is not in Australia or New Zealand are responsible for ensuring that applying for New Shares does not breach securities laws in the relevant overseas jurisdictions.
Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of securities. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.
8.11 Issue of New Shares and application money
New Shares will be issued only after all application money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the New Shares to be quoted. It is expected that New Shares will be issued on 17 December 2014 and normal trading of the New Shares on ASX is expected to commence on 18 December 2014.
All application monies will be deposited into a separate bank account of the Company and held in trust for Applicants until the Shares are issued or application monies returned. Any interest that accrues will be retained by the Company and will not be paid to Applicants.
8.12 Quotation
The Company has applied to ASX for quotation of the New Shares offered by this Prospectus on 22 September 2014. If ASX does not grant permission for the quotation of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, or such longer period as modified by ASIC, none of the New Shares offered by this Prospectus will be allotted or issued. In these circumstances, all Applications will be dealt with in accordance with the Corporations Act including the return of all application monies without interest.
A decision by ASX to grant official quotation of the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of ASX's view as to the merits of the Company or of the New Shares.
Quotation, if granted, of the New Shares offered by this Prospectus will commence as soon as practicable after statements of holdings of the New Shares are dispatched.
8.13 Market prices of Existing Shares on ASX
The highest and lowest market sale price of the Existing Shares, which are on the same terms and conditions as the New Shares being offered under this Prospectus, during the 3 months immediately preceding the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC, and the last market sale price on the date before the lodgement date of this Prospectus, are set out below.

8.14 CHESS
The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System ( CHESS ). CHESS is operated by ASX Settlement Pty Ltd ( ASPL ), a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX.
Under CHESS, the Company does not issue certificates to investors. Instead, security holders will receive a statement of their holdings in the Company, including New Shares issued under this Prospectus. If an investor is broker sponsored, ASPL will send a CHESS statement.
The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Shares issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number and give the participation identification number of the sponsor.
If you are registered on the issuer sponsored sub register, your statement will be dispatched by the Company’s share registrar and will contain the number of New Shares issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.
A CHESS statement or issuer sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.
8.15 Taxation and duty implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of the Company conducting the Offer or Shareholders applying for New Shares under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of Shareholders. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders in the Offer. Shareholders should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Offer.
No brokerage or stamp duty is payable by Applicants in respect of Applications for New Shares under this Prospectus.

9 RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SHARES
9.1 Rights and liability attaching to Shares
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are • detailed in the Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected, free of charge, at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours; and in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the general law.
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
(a) 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. Voting may be in person or by proxy, attorney or representative.
(b) Dividends
Subject to the rights of holders of shares issued with any special rights (at present there are none), the Board may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the shareholders entitled to the dividend. All Shares currently on issue and the shares to be issued under this Prospectus are fully paid Shares.
(c) 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.
(d) 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.
(e) 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 shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act.
(f) Liquidation rights
The Company has one class of shares on issue, ordinary shares. Each ordinary Share ranks equally in the event of liquidation.
- (g) Variation of rights
Page 25
Prospectus – Radar Iron Limited
Subject to the Listing Rules, the rights attached to the Shares may be varied with the consent in writing of shareholders holding three-quarters of the Shares or by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares in accordance with the Corporations Act.
(h) Election of directors
There must be a minimum of 3 but not more than 9 Directors. At every annual general meeting one third of the Directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) must retire from office. Any Director who would have held office for more than 3 years if that Director remains in office until the next general meeting must retire. These retirement rules do not apply to certain appointments including the managing director.
(i) Indemnities
To the extent permitted by law the Company must indemnify each past and present Director and secretary against any liability incurred by that person as an officer of the Company and any legal costs incurred in defending an action in respect of such liability.
(j) Winding up
Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and any rights or restrictions attached to a class of shares, on a winding up of the Company any surplus must be divided among the shareholders of the Company.
(k) Shareholder liability
As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid Shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(l) Alteration to the Constitution
The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. At least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
(m) Listing Rules
As 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 or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
10.1 Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a ‘disclosing entity’ (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's securities. The New Shares which will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are in the same class of Shares that have been quoted on the official list of the ASX during the 12 months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.
This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus" to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms "transaction specific prospectuses" are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Shares on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Shares. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the period from lodgement of the Company’s annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 to the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
-
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
Page 27
Prospectus – Radar Iron Limited
-
(i) the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 being the last financial report for a financial year, of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus;
-
(ii) any half-year financial report lodged with ASIC by the Company after the lodgement of that annual report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus; and
-
(iii) any continuous disclosure notices given by the Company after the lodgement of the financial report referred to in paragraph (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC.
Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be obtained free of charge from the Company’s registered office during normal office hours.
