DIRECTOR'S LETTER
Dear Red River Shareholder
Offer for your Red River Shares
On behalf of Iron Mountain Mining, I am pleased to offer you an opportunity to take part in the takeover of Red River by Iron Mountain Mining which will result in the creation of a mining company with an interest in a diverse range of mineral exploration projects.
$\overline{\mathbf{z}}$
Iron Mountain Mining is an ASX listed resource exploration company with a market capitalisation of approximately \$2.9 million. Iron Mountain Mining is a company dedicated to investment in growth projects in the minerals sector in Australia. Following the takeover, the Directors of Iron Mountain Mining believe that there is potential for re-rating of the Combined Entity as a result of increased size and liquidity.
Iron Mountain Mining's Offer of 1.5 cents for every 1 of your Red River ordinary shares plus 1 Iron Mountain Mining Shares for every 6 Red River ordinary Shares provides an opportunity to Red River shareholders to acquire tradeable shares in Iron Mountain Mining and retain through Iron Mountain Mining an interest in the exploration projects of Red River.
By accepting the Offer, you will retain exposure to Red River's current interest in its iron ore (magnetite) and gold projects in Western Australia and its royalty and milestone payments interest in the Blythe iron ore (magnetite) project in Tasmania.
As a shareholder of Iron Mountain, you will also gain exposure to Iron Mountain's other projects and royalty interests, including the Golden Camel gold JORC resource in Victoria, Iron Mountain's heavy mineral sands project in Victoria the Mt Richardson iron ore project and the Wandoo bauxite project.
Iron Mountain Mining will continue to target opportunities for capital growth through the acquisition of high quality, value assets with low costs or high margins and potential for long life.
The management of the combined Iron Mountain Mining and Red River will continue under the stewardship of the Iron Mountain Mining management.
The merged group is likely to have improved access to funding required to continue exploration.
To accept this Offer please follow the instructions set out in the Bidder's Statement and on the front of the Acceptance Form.

PART B-PROFILE OF THE COMBINED ENTITY
OVERVIEW OF THE COMBINED ENTITY $31$
RATIONALE FOR THE OFFER $3.1$
ś
Iron Mountain's rationale for the acquisition of Red River is to combine the ownership of Red River and Iron Mountain's interests in the Miaree iron ore (magnetite) project and entitlements to any royalties from the Blythe iron ore (magnetite) project as well as to achieve economies of scale by combining the exploration activities of both companies.
Iron Mountain is of the view that the superior cash resources of Iron Mountain will enable the various projects of Red River to be explored and evaluated in a more timely and detailed manner taking into account the current working capital restraints of Red River.
FORECASTS FOR THE COMBINED ENTITY $3.2$
Iron Mountain is an exploration company that does not currently generate a revenue stream.
Accordingly, any forecasts for the Combined Entity would be speculative and subject to significant business and technical uncertainties and contingencies which are beyond the control of Iron Mountain. In these circumstances, the Iron Mountain Directors do not believe that providing forecasts of potential future revenue and expenditure is material to the decision of shareholders of Red River in making a decision whether to accept the Iron Mountain Offer.
As far as Iron Mountain is aware, the directors of Red River have not published any forecasts which could be incorporated into the profile of the Combined Entity.
EFFECT OF ACQUISITION ON IRON MOUNTAIN 3.3
General effect of acquisition $(a)$
The general effect of the acquisition on Iron Mountain will be to extend Iron Mountain's exploration strategy, by increasing its interest in the Miaree Project and Blythe Iron Ore Project in Tasmania. Both of these projects are currently held by existing joint ventures between Iron Mountain and Red River. Iron Mountain will also Manjimup exposure Red River's Mingural, Burchett, and $\mathbf{to}$ gain Tambellup/Gnowangerup Projects.
Effect of acquisition on Iron Mountain's capital structure $(b)$
The consideration for the acquisition of the Red River Shares to which the Offer relates will be satisfied by the issue of cash and Iron Mountain Shares.
The capital structure of Iron Mountain assuming Iron Mountain acquires 100 % (assuming the 90% compulsory acquisition threshold is achieved) of Red River or 50 1% will be as follows.
| Capital structure | Acquisition of $100\%$ of Red River |
Acquisition of 50.1 $%$ of Red River |

PROFILE OF THE COMBINED ENTITY $3.4$
Management $(a)$
The Combined Entity will benefit from the skills and experience of the Iron Mountain Board.
Impact on the financial position of Iron Mountain $(b)$
If Iron Mountain is successful in acquiring 100% of Red River, the Combined Entity would have:
- cash assets, as at 31 December 2012, of approximately. \$5.93 million and no $(i)$ debt (based on the pro forma balance sheet and the assumptions detailed in section 4.1); and
- a diverse portfolio of exploration properties which is likely to be attractive to $(ii)$ investors, and lead to increased profile and liquidity for Iron Mountain Shares.
PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION $\ddot{4}$ .
COMBINED ENTITY PRO-FORMAS $4.1$
Basis of preparation $(a)$
The pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared by consolidating Iron Mountain's reviewed balance sheet for the six months to 31 December 2012 and Red River's reviewed balance sheet for the six months ended 31 December 2012. A number of consolidation adjustments have been made to reflect the acquisition as set out in the notes below.
$12$
This section 4.1 should be read in conjunction with the underlying financial information from which it is derived, the risk factors set out in Part F, the accounting policies of Iron Mountain (as set out in its annual report for the year ended 30 June 2012) and other information contained in the Bidder's Statement.
The financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared on an abbreviated basis. It does not contain all the disclosures usually provided in an annual report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.
A pro-forma adjustment has been made, at column 2 of the pro forma consolidated balance sheet to reflect the sale of Iron Mountain's controlling interest in United Orogen Limited (ACN 115 593 005) which occurred on 18 February 2013. This adjustment is not affected by the outcome of the proposed acquisition of Red River.
The Combined Entity pro-forma balance sheet as at 31 December 2012 assumes that the acquisition of Red River by Iron Mountain had been completed at that date. Accordingly, changes in the fair value since the balance sheet dates of the companies have not been recognised. The actual date of acquisition will be at a later date. In accordance with the requirements of Australian Accounting Standard AASB 3 "Business Combinations", the identifiable net assets of an entity must be measured at their fair value as at the date of acquisition of that entity. Accordingly, Iron Mountain will assess the fair value of identifiable net assets of Red River on completion of the acquisition and having regard to the fair value of the Iron Mountain shares being issued to the shareholders of Red River.
Consolidated Entity Pro-formas $(b)$
The following table sets out the pro-forma consolidated balance sheet of the consolidated post-completion Combined Entity. It is based on the assumption that Iron Mountain acquires 100% of Red River. In addition, the table sets out the consolidated balance sheet of the post completion Combined Entity based on Iron Mountain acquiring 50.1 % of Red River. The pro-forma balance sheet has been prepared as at 31 December 2012 on the basis that there have been no significant changes, except for the sale of Iron Mountain's controlling interest in United Orogen Limited referred to in 4.1(a) above, in the nature or scale of operating activities from 1 January 2013 to date.
For the purpose of the Consolidated Entity Pro-forma, Iron Mountain is considered to be both the accounting and legal acquirer under AASB 3 "Business Combinations'.

Increase in shareholder equity $\left( c \right)$
Shareholders' equity will increase through the issue of Iron Mountain Shares for Red River Shares. Based on the share capital of Red River of 69,330,005 shares (excluding Red River Options) and Iron Mountain currently holding 1,800,000 Red River shares, Iron Mountain will issue 11,255,001 new Iron Mountain shares. Based on the Iron Mountain closing share price of \$0.023 as at 18 June 2013 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this Bidder's Statement to enable printing of this Bidder's Statement to occur), the shareholders' equity will increase by \$258,865.
The shareholder equity impact is summarised as follows:
| . . | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Security | Red River | Iron Mountain | Value of Iron Mountain |
| $\%$ | Securities Sold | Shares Issued | Shares Issued |
| Red River Shares | 67,530,005 | 11,255,001 | \$258,865 |
100% Scenario (excluding all unexercised Red River Options)
NOTE: Based on the closing share price of \$ 0.023 as at 18 June 2013 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this Bidder's Statement to enable printing of this Bidder's Statement to occur) and assuming Iron Mountain acquires Red River Shares to achieve 100% relevant interest in Red River.
50.1% Scenario (excluding all unexercised Red River Options)
| Security | Red River | Iron Mountain | Value of Iron Mountain |
|---|---|---|---|
| % | Securities Sold | Shares Issued | Shares Issued |
| Red River Shares | 32.934.333 | 5.489.056 | \$126,248 |
NOTE: Based on the Iron Mountain closing share price of \$0.023 as at 18 June 2013 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this Bidder's Statement to enable printing of this Bidder's Statement to occur) and assuming Iron Mountain acquires Red River Shares to achieve 50.1% relevant interest in Rea River.
$(d)$ Fair value of the acquisition consideration
The fair value of the acquisition consideration has been based on the assumption that all Red River Shareholders will accept the Offer and that none of the Red River options currently on issue will be exercised. At the acquisition date, Red River options are considered "out-of-the-money". The actual acquisition consideration will be based on the market value of Iron Mountain Shares, at the date of acquisition, in accordance with the requirements of AASB 3 "Business Combinations".
The value of shares issued by Iron Mountain in exchange for Red River Shares will be recorded in Iron Mountain's separate financial statements as an investment in Red River. On consolidation, this amount is considered to represent capitalised exploration expenditure and is therefore reported as such.
Reduction in cash $(e)$
Pro-forma adjustments have been made to reflect the estimated transaction costs related to business combination. A preliminary estimate of \$100,000 has been made to cover such costs in the event that Iron Mountain achieves less than 90 % acceptances.
As required under AASB 3 Business Combinations acquisition related costs (such as advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional consultant costs) have been expensed in the period. Foreign shareholders who are not entitled to shares will be paid cash based on Iron Mountain's share price at acquisition date adjusted for relevant costs. In preparing the pro-forma balance sheet we have made the assumption that no such shareholders exist, however if such payments to Red River shareholders are required they will be made from Iron Mountain's existing cash resources.
$(1)$ Funding
$\mathbf{r}$
$(i)$ The maximum amount of cash Iron Mountain would be required to pay under the Offer if acceptances are received in respect of all of Red River's Shares on issue (other than those Red River Shares in which Iron Mountain already has a relevant interest as at the date of this Bidder's Statement) would be approximately \$1,012,950.
In addition, if holders of all Red River Options on issue at the date of this Bidder's Statement exercise those options and accept the Offer, then the additional consideration payable in respect of the Red River Shares resulting from such exercise would be approximately \$30,000.
Iron Mountain would be required to pay \$494,015 under the Offer if acceptances are received in respect of 50.1% of all Red River Shares on issue (other than those Red River Shares in which Red River already has a relevant interest in) as at the date of this Bidder's Statement.
The necessary funds to pay the cash consideration for the acquisition of the $(ii)$ Red River Shares pursuant to the Offer together with the acquisition of the Red River Options will be met through Iron Mountain's cash reserves.
As at 9 June 2103 Iron Mountain had cash reserves of approximately \$6 million. The funds available from Iron Mountain's existing case reserves are more than sufficient to fund the maximum consideration payable pursuant to the Offer and all associated transaction costs.
Iron Mountain is of the opinion that it has a reasonable basis for forming the view, and it holds the view, that it will be able to pay the consideration required for the acquisition of Red River shares pursuant to the Offer to satisfy its obligations under the Offer. The Offer is not subject to any conditions relating to financing.
Adjustment relating to the fair value of Red River's assets and liabilities acquired $\left( \mathbf{p} \right)$
The pro forma consolidated balance sheet is based on the assumption that the fair value of the mining tenements is zero and the goodwill arising on the acquisition is capitalised as exploration and evaluation expenditure.
$(h)$ Tax
The pro-forma consolidated balance sheet does not include any adjustment to reflect the tax effect of tax losses or other temporary differences that may give rise to deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities as a result of the business combination.
The extent of any carry forward losses available to the Combined Entity will depend on the Combined Entity being able to satisfy tax loss recoupment provisions of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 and the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. Accordingly, Iron Mountain will assess the extent tax losses that can be utilised subsequent to the acquisition and management control.
The pro-forma consolidated balance sheet does not include any adjustments that may arise if the Combined Entity is eligible for and elects to enter tax consolidation. As noted in section 5, should Iron Mountain obtain 100% of the Red River's securities, Iron Mountain intends to review the relevant legislation to determine eligibility and to
weigh up the benefits and costs associated with making an election to form a consolidated tax group.
$(i)$ Impact of AIFRS
ند.
من
Both companies have prepared their balance sheets based on Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS).
$(i)$ Consistency of Accounting Policies
Based on the Red River information which is publicly available, it appears that the accounting policies of Red River are broadly consistent with those of Iron Mountain.
However, as noted in section 5, Iron Mountain intends to review Red River's accounting policies upon the assumption of management control. To the extent that Red River does not have equivalent operating resource company policies it is expected that this review will result in Red River adopting Iron Mountain's policies prospectively, that is, from the date of acquisition.
Accounting Treatment in the event of lack of control $(K)$
The Offer includes a 50.1% minimum acceptance condition (see section 10.1). While Iron Mountain has no present intention to waive that condition, it reserves its right to declare the Offer free of that condition (or any other Defeating Condition of the Offer). In the event Iron Mountain does not obtain "control" of Red River as a result of the Bid, but Iron Mountain does obtain "significant influence", Iron Mountain will account for its investment in Red River using the equity method as shown in the pro-forma balance sheet above. The carrying amount of Iron Mountain's investment in Red River would be initially measured at cost, determined based on the fair value of Iron Mountain shares issued as consideration. For reporting periods after acquisition, the carrying amount of Red River will be increased or decreased for Iron Mountain's share of post-acquisition profits and losses, which will be recognised in Iron Mountain's Income Statement. In addition, Iron Mountain's share of movements in equity, such as reserves, and distributions from Red River would also impact the carrying value of its investment in Red River.
Elimination of Inter Company Transactions $\bigoplus$
In accordance with the requirements of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, an intercompany balance of \$29,058 has been adjusted for in the pro-forma consolidated balance sheet.
PART C - INTENTIONS
IRON MOUNTAIN'S INTENTIONS $\mathbf{S}$ .
INTRODUCTION $5.1$
This section 5 sets out Iron Mountain's intentions in relation to:
- the continuation of the business of Red River; $(a)$
- any major changes to the business of Red River and any redeployment of the fixed $(b)$ assets of Red River; and
- the future of the Red River Board. $(c)$
These intentions are based on the information concerning Red River, its business and the general business environment which is known to Iron Mountain at the time of preparation of this Bidder's Statement, which is limited to publicly available information.
Final decisions regarding these matters will only be made by Iron Mountain in light of material information and circumstances at the relevant time. Accordingly, the statements set out in this section 5 are statements of current intention only, which may change as new information becomes available to Iron Mountain or as circumstances change.
INTENTIONS UPON ACOUISITION OF 90% OR MORE OF THE RED RIVER $5.2$ SHARES
This section 5.2 sets out Iron Mountain's current intentions if Iron Mountain acquires relevant interests in 90% or more of the Red River Shares and it is entitled to proceed to compulsory acquisition of the remaining Red River Shares under the Corporations Act.
Corporate matters $(a)$
$\bar{\rm{z}}$
It is intended that Iron Mountain would:
- proceed with compulsory acquisition of the outstanding Red River Shares $(i)$ (including any Red River Shares issued as a result of the exercise of Red River Options after the end of the Offer Period and in the six weeks after Iron Mountain gives the compulsory acquisition notices) in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 6A of the Corporations Act;
- not retain the members of the Red River Board; and $(ii)$
- if it becomes entitled to do so under the Corporations Act, seek to $(iii)$ compulsorily acquire the Red River Options which have not been exercised and that have not lapsed, and where other negotiated arrangements have not been agreed in relation to those Red River Options.
Exploration $(b)$
Iron Mountain intends to continue exploring and evaluating Red River's tenements.
$(c)$ Executives and employees
Iron Mountain will make decisions regarding any senior management positions and other employees following a review of Red River's operations on both a strategic and financial level.
Tax Consolidation $(d)$
Iron Mountain does not have any specific intentions in relation to the formation of a tax consolidated group incorporating Iron Mountain and Red River. Iron Mountain intends to conduct a detailed review of the relevant legislation to determine eligibility and to weigh up the potential benefits and disadvantages associated with making an election to form a consolidated tax group. Potential factors to be considered in this review include the availability of tax losses for the tax consolidated group, the ability to reset tax costs of Red River' fixed assets and administration consequences.
The ability of Iron Mountain to capture any benefits and quantify costs will depend on amongst other things the detailed information to be provided by Red River and discussions with Red River management. Any attempt to quantify these benefits and costs at this time would be speculative.
INTENTIONS UPON ACQUISITION OF MORE THAN 50% OF THE RED RIVER $5.3$ SHARES, BUT LESS THAN 90%
This section 5.3 sets out Iron Mountain's current intentions if Iron Mountain acquires relevant interests in greater than 50% but less than 90% of the Red River Shares. The implementation of any steps referred to in this section 5.3 would only be undertaken where those steps are in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements, the Listing Rules, and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of Red River. In particular, the Red River directors may only implement any such steps if they consider the steps to be in the best interests of Red River Shareholders as a whole.
Corporate matters $(a)$
. je
It is intended that Iron Mountain would request the appointment of nominees of Iron Mountain to the board such that the Iron Mountain nominees comprised a majority of the board.
Other matters $(b)$
If Iron Mountain acquires relevant interests in greater than 50% but less than 90% of the Red River Shares, Iron Mountain's intentions in relation to:
- $(i)$ the exploration activities of Red River; and
- $(ii)$ the executives and employees of Red River,
are the same as those set out in paragraphs $(b)$ and $(c)$ of section 5.2.
5.4 INTENTIONS UPON ACQUISITION OF LESS THAN 50% OF THE RED RIVER SHARES
The Offer includes a 50.1% minimum acceptance condition (see section 10.1). While Iron Mountain has no present intention to waive that condition, it reserves its right to declare the Offer free of that condition (or any other Defeating Condition of the Offer).
In those circumstances, Iron Mountain's actions will be dependent on the percentage of Red River Shares acquired under the Offers. Iron Mountain has therefore not formed a view on its intentions upon acquisition of less than 50% of Red River Shares. However, Iron Mountain may seek to implement the intentions set out in this section 5 to the extent that it is lawfully able to do so.
OTHER INTENTIONS 5.5
Subject to the above, including the outcome of the review of Red River operations to be undertaken by Iron Mountain, it is the present intention of Iron Mountain, on the basis of the information concerning Red River which is known to it at the date of this Bidder's Statement and the existing circumstances affecting the business of Red River, that:
- the business of Red River will otherwise be continued in substantially the same manner $(a)$ as it is presently being conducted;
- $(b)$ no other major changes will be made to the business of Red River;
- there will not be any other redeployment of the fixed assets of Red River. $(c)$
5.6 UNCERTAIN BENEFITS TO IRON MOUNTAIN
Some of the intentions noted in this section 5 may provide benefits to Iron Mountain that are not currently available to Red River Shareholders. The exact extent and timing of those benefits are currently uncertain, and the ability of Iron Mountain to capture any benefits will depend on, amongst other things, detailed review and exploration and evaluation of Red River's tenements.
Any attempt to quantify these benefits at this time would be speculative.

PART F - RISK FACTORS
15. RISK FACTORS
$15.1$ OVERVIEW
Red River shareholders who accept the Offer will become shareholders in Iron Mountain. The financial performance and operations of Iron Mountain's businesses, the price of Iron Mountain Shares and therefore the returns received by Iron Mountain shareholders will be influenced by a range of factors. Some of these factors can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate commercial action. However, many of these factors are beyond the control of Iron Mountain and the Iron Mountain board.
This section describes certain risk factors associated with an investment in Iron Mountain. Red River shareholders should consider carefully these risk factors and the other information contained in this Bidder's Statement.
$15.2$ INVESTMENT RISK
Red River shareholders should be aware that there are risks associated with an investment in shares quoted on a stock exchange. Share price movements could affect the value of the consideration paid under the Offer and the value of any investment in Iron Mountain. The value of Iron Mountain Shares can be expected to fluctuate depending on various factors including general worldwide economic conditions, changes in government policies, investor perceptions, and movements in interest rates and stock markets, as well as the performance of Iron Mountain, including exploration results. There is no guarantee of profitability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which the Iron Mountain Shares will trade on ASX after completion of the Offer. The past performance of Iron Mountain is not necessarily an indication as to future performance as the trading price of shares can go up or down.
GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS 15.3
Factors, such as, but not limited to the following, could impact on Iron Mountain's revenues, operating costs, profit margins and share price:
- movements in the Australian dollar and world commodity prices, $\triangleright$
- economic conditions in Australia and overseas, and $\mathcal{I}$
- movements in domestic and international interest rates and share markets. $\checkmark$
Whilst Iron Mountain will attempt to mitigate these factors by implementing appropriate safeguards and commercial actions, these factors are largely beyond the control of Iron Mountain.
15.4 MARKET CONDITIONS
$\mathbf{A}$
The profitability of Iron Mountain will depend, in part, on market factors. World market prices for metals and minerals are subject to many variables and may fluctuate significantly.
15.5 OPERATING RISKS
Iron Mountain's future operating performance, financial position and profitability will be subject to the types of risks inherent to direct investment in mining and exploration activities, including:
- $\triangleright$ metallurgical issues that may affect mineral recoveries and plant performance;
- $\blacktriangleright$ unexpected adverse geological or geotechnical issues which can cause stoppages or affect the ability to meet contractual commitments for delivery of products;
- $\blacktriangleright$ exploration results;
- increases in the cost of supplies, raw materials and capital and operating equipment can $\blacktriangleright$ adversely impact operating and capital costs; and
- $\blacktriangleright$ environmental and safety issues.
15.6 GROWTH
Iron Mountain will continue to seek to grow both organically and through new investment opportunities.
15.7 LEGISLATION
Changes to legislation or government policy in Australia or overseas could be detrimental to participants or investors in the resources industry and may have a negative impact on Iron Mountain.
15.8 INTEGRATION RISK
Possible synergies and efficiencies are described in section 5 of this Bidder's Statement. Iron Mountain expects that value can be added for shareholders of the merged entity by the efficient and timely integration of the businesses. If Iron Mountain is unable to acquire 90% of Red River's Shares, or to acquire a controlling shareholding in Red River, under the Offer and elects to waive the minimum acceptance condition, it may not achieve all the benefits described in section 5 of this Bidder's Statement.
Conduct and timing of the integration will depend on the results of the review of Red River referred to in section 5 of this Bidder's Statement. However, the risk exists that any integration may take longer than expected or that any efficiencies may be less than estimated.

$(c)$ Change in control
The Offer is subject to there being no existing agreements or arrangements under which other parties have rights to terminate or vary a Material Agreement or arrangement with Red River, or acquire a material asset of Red River, as a result of Iron Mountain's acquisition of Red River Shares, except where a waiver of those rights has been obtained (see section 10.1(d)).
The Offer is also subject to disclosure to the ASX by Red River of details of any rights referred to above (see section $10.1(e)$ ).
Red River is best placed to advise its shareholders whether or not such agreements or arrangements exist and, if such agreements or arrangements do exist, whether the other parties to such agreements or arrangements are likely to waive or vary their rights.
$(d)$ No material adverse change, material transactions or other changes, or prescribed occurrences
The Offer is subject to there being no material acquisitions, disposals, commitments or certain other changes in the conduct of Red River's business and affairs (see sections $10.1(e)$ and $10.1(i)$ ).
The Offer is subject to nothing occurring, or becoming public, which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Red River and its subsidiaries taken as a whole during the Condition Period (see section $10.1(f)$ ).
The Offer is also subject to there being no "prescribed occurrences" during the Condition Period (see section $10.1(g)$ and $10.1(h)$ ).
Any such acquisitions, disposals, commitments or changes by Red River or any of its subsidiaries would potentially frustrate the Offer and deny Red River Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the benefits accruing to them under the Offer.
Red River is in the best position to advise its shareholders whether or not each of these conditions will be satisfied.
No dividends or distributions $(e)$
This Offer is subject to Red River or any subsidiary not declaring, distributing or resolving to pay or provide any dividend, bonus or other share of its profits or assets (see section $10.1(i)$ ).
Iron Mountain expects, given Red River's current dividend policy, that this condition will be satisfied. However, Red River is in the best position to advise its shareholders whether or not this condition will be satisfied.
$(f)$ S&P/ASX 200 Index
The Offer is subject to the S&P/ASX not falling below 4300 on any trading day during the Condition Period (see section $10.1(k)$ ).
No material failing in filings $(g)$
The Offer is subject to Iron Mountain not becoming aware that a document filed by Red River with ASX or ASIC contains a materially incorrect or misleading statement or has a material omission (see section 10.1(I)).
Red River is best placed to advise its shareholders whether or not such a document exists.
19.2 APPROVALS FOR PAYMENT OF CONSIDERATION
Iron Mountain is not aware of any Red River Shareholder who requires any approval referred to in section 11.8 in order to be entitled to receive any consideration under the Offer.
19.3 NO OTHER MATERIAL INFORMATION
Except as set out in this Bidder's Statement, there is no information material to the making of a decision by an offeree whether or not to accept the Offer, being information that is known to Iron Mountain and has not previously been disclosed to the holders of Red River Shares.
20. OTHER MATTERS
$\frac{2}{3}$
20.1 IRON MOUNTAIN IS A DISCLOSING ENTITY

APPENDIX 3
RIGHTS ATTACHING TO IRON MOUNTAIN SHARES
$\mathbf{1}$ RANKING OF IRON MOUNTAIN SHARES
$\frac{1}{\alpha}$ $\frac{1}{\alpha}$ $\frac{1}{\alpha}$
The Iron Mountain Shares to be issued under the Offers will be issued fully paid and will rank equally for dividends and other rights with existing Iron Mountain Shares.
$2.$ THE CONSTITUTION OF IRON MOUNTAIN
Under section 140(1) of the Corporations Act, the constitution of Iron Mountain has effect as a contract between Iron Mountain and each member and between a member of Iron Mountain and each other member. Accordingly, if you accept Iron Mountain as consideration you will, as a result, become liable to comply with the constitution of Iron Mountain. However, since the Iron Mountain Shares issued as consideration under the Offers will be issued credited as fully paid, no monetary liability attaches to them.
The constitution of Iron Mountain also sets out the principal rights attaching to Iron Mountain Shares. This Appendix provides a summary of these rights and the liabilities attaching to Iron Mountain Shares. It does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of shareholders of Iron Mountain. Such rights and liabilities involve complex questions of law arising from the interaction of the constitution and statutory and common law requirements. Shareholders should seek their own advice when trying to establish their rights and liabilities in specific circumstances.
$3.$ RIGHTS ATTACHING TO IRON MOUNTAIN SHARES
$(a)$ General meeting and notices
Each member is entitled to receive a notice of, and to attend and vote at, a general meeting of Iron Mountain and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to members under Iron Mountain's constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.
$(b)$ 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 Iron Mountain every holder of fully paid ordinary shares present in person or by an attorney, representative or proxy has one vote on a show of hands (unless a member has appointed two proxies or has appointed a proxy who is also a member, in which case the proxy or proxies has or have no vote on a show of hands) and one vote per share on a poll.
A person who holds a share which is not fully paid is entitled, on a poll, to a fraction of a vote equal to the proportion which the amount paid bears to the total issue price of the share.
Where there are two or more joint holders of a share and more than one of them is present at a general meeting, in person or by proxy, attorney or representative, and tender a vote in respect of the share, Iron Mountain will count only the vote cast by, or on behalf of, the member whose name appears first in Iron Mountain's register of members.
$(c)$ Offers of further shares
The Board may, on behalf of Iron Mountain, offer, grant options over or otherwise dispose of unissued shares to any person on the terms, with the rights, and at the time that the Board decides. However, the Board must act in accordance with the restrictions imposed by Iron Mountain's constitution, the ASX Listing Rules, the Corporations Act and any rights for the time being attached to the shares in any special class of those shares.
$(d)$ Transfer of shares
Subject to Iron Mountain's constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, ordinary shares are freely transferable.
The Shares may be transferred by any computerised or electronic system of transferring or dealing with shares established or recognised by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or the Operating Rules and as otherwise permitted by the Corporations Act or by a document, the usual form of which is permitted by law.
The Board may refuse to register a transfer of shares only if that refusal would not contravene the ASX Listing Rules or the Operating Rules. If the Board refuses to register a transfer, Iron Mountain must give the lodging party written notice of the refusal and the reasons for it within 5 business days after the transfer is delivered to Iron Mountain. The Board must not register a transfer of shares if the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or the Operating Rules forbid registration.
Partly paid Shares $(e)$
The Board may, subject to compliance with Iron Mountain's constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, issue partly paid shares upon which there are outstanding amounts payable. See paragraph (b) above for voting rights for partly paid shares and paragraph (f) below for dividend rights.
$(f)$ Dividends
Subject to Iron Mountain's constitution and the Corporations Act, the Board may resolve to pay any dividend it thinks appropriate and fix the time for payment. Subject to the terms of issue of shares, Iron Mountain may pay a dividend on one class of shares to the exclusion of another class.
Each share of a class on which the Board resolves to pay a dividend carries the right to participate in the dividend in the same proportion that the amount for the time being paid on the share (excluding any amount paid in advance of calls) bears to the total issue price of the share.
$(g)$ Winding up
Subject to the terms of issue of shares, if Iron Mountain is wound up, members will be entitled to participate in any surplus assets of Iron Mountain in proportion to the percentage of the capital paid up on their shares.
$(h)$ Dividend reinvestment and share plans
The Board may adopt and implement dividend reinvestment plans (under which any member may elect that dividends payable by Iron Mountain be reinvested by way of subscription for fully paid shares in Iron Mountain) and any other share plans (under which any member may elect to forego any dividends that may be payable on all or some of the shares held by that member and to receive instead some other entitlement, including the issue of full paid shares).
