MANAGING DIRECTOR’S LETTER

10 October 2014

Dear Shareholder

The King Solomon Mines Limited Board of Directors is pleased to offer all its eligible Shareholders the opportunity to participate in a three-for-two renounceable Rights Issue of 459,594,209 New Shares at an issue price of A$0.002 (NZ$0.0022) per Share.

The issue is fully underwritten by Taylor Collison Limited. Two of the Company’s Directors, Simon O’Loughlin and Simon Taylor, will act as a sub-underwriter for up to 15 million New Shares each. They will not receive a sub-underwriting fee. Details of underwriting fees are set out in Section 1.3 and 8 of this Offer Document.

The issue price per Share in New Zealand dollars has been set at NZ$0.0022 per Share based on an exchange rate fixed by King Solomon Mines of NZ$1.00 equals $0.896 Australian dollars. New Zealand resident Shareholders may alternatively pay A$0.002 per New Share by subscribing in Australian dollars.

.

All Eligible Shareholders registered at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 24 October 2014 will be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue.

The Closing Date for acceptance of the Rights Issue is 5:00pm (Sydney time) on 12 November 2014.

Approximately 232,778,844 of the New Shares are being offered to New Zealand resident Shareholders, and this Investment Statement and Prospectus is required under New Zealand securities laws in order to make the Offer to New Zealand resident Shareholders. The exact number of New Shares being offered to New Zealand resident Shareholders will be determined on the Record Date. King Solomon Mines is taking advantage of exemptions under Australian securities laws, which means that a prospectus or disclosure document is not required in Australia for the purpose of making the Offer to Australian resident Shareholders. However the terms of the Offer are the same for all Shareholders in Australia and New Zealand.

Your Entitlement to New Shares is set out in the enclosed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and instructions on how to apply for your Entitlement are set out in Section 3 and in the Investment Statement on pages 23 to 27.

Background

Over the past year the Company has sought buyers for its principal project Sonid North in Inner Mongolia, China. A sale has yet to be concluded.

The Company has also reviewed a number of potential new projects for acquisition. The Company is continuing with this approach.

Funding

The three-for-two renounceable fully underwritten Rights Issue at A$0.002 per share will raise A$919,188 before costs. The funds will be used to provide capital for the Company to undertake exploration work on its projects in Inner Mongolia, China and on other projects it may acquire, and to search for new business opportunities in the resource project area.

7

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

The Board has decided that the best way to fund the working capital needs of the Company is via a combination of a private placement and a Rights Issue. The private placement was announced on 25 September 2014 at a price of A$0.003 per Share with a total raised of A$68,335. This Rights Issue is the next funding step.

The Board thanks all Shareholders for their continuing interest and ongoing support.

Yours sincerely

1. MAIN TERMS OF THE OFFER

1.1 The Offer

Under this Offer Document, the Company is offering, by way of a pro-rata, renounceable Rights Issue, 459,594,209 New Shares (subject to the rounding up of Entitlements) in the Company to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of three New Shares for every two existing Shares held on the Record Date at an issue price of A$0.002 per New Share, to raise A$919,188 before costs. New Zealand resident Shareholders may alternatively pay in New Zealand dollars at a price of NZ$0.0022 per New Share (based on an exchange rate fixed by King Solomon Mines of NZ$1.00 equals $0.896 Australian dollars).

The Company currently has 1,600,000 Options on issue each with an exercise price of A$0.12. Each Option entitles the holder, upon payment of the applicable exercise price, to subscribe for one Share. Only if the Options have been exercised and the Shares have been issued before the Record Date will these Shares participate in the Rights Issue. The number of New Shares issued may, therefore, increase if some or all of these Options are exercised prior to the Record Date. If all of the Options that can be exercised are exercised, the number of Shares on issue prior to the New Shares being issued will increase by 1,600,000.

The Offer is made on a renounceable basis. This means that your Entitlement under this Offer Document is transferable and you may renounce (sell) any Entitlement that you do not wish to accept. Any portion of your Entitlement that you decide not to accept by the Closing Date will lapse and the New Shares the subject of that Entitlement will form part of the Shortfall and will be available to the Underwriter, as detailed in Section 1.3.

No Overseas Offers

This Investment Statement and Prospectus has been prepared in compliance with New Zealand securities laws for the purpose of making the Offer to New Zealand resident Shareholders only, and does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would be unlawful to make such an offer. Where this Investment Statement and Prospectus has been despatched to investors domiciled outside New Zealand and where that country’s securities code and legislation requires registration, this Investment Statement and Prospectus is provided for information purposes only. Nonresident investors should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required or whether formalities need to be observed to enable them to participate in the Shortfall.

Stock Exchange Listing

Application will be made to ASX for permission to list the Rights and the New Shares. However, ASX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this Investment Statement and Prospectus. If the ASX does not grant permission for quotation of the Rights or the New Shares offered pursuant to this Investment Statement and Prospectus within three months after the date of this Investment Statement and Prospectus, or such longer period as is permitted, none of the New Shares offered by this Investment Statement and Prospectus will be allotted or issued. In these circumstances, the Company will repay all Application Monies, without interest.

ASX is not defined as a “registered exchange” under New Zealand securities laws, and accordingly, for the purposes of New Zealand securities laws, the Rights and the New Shares have not been approved for trading on a “registered exchange”. The Company will not seek listing of the Rights or the New Shares on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.

9

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

1.2 Closing Date

The Closing Date for the Rights Issue is 5:00pm (Sydney time) on 12 November 2014. No Applications for New Shares pursuant to the Rights Issue received after this time will be accepted. The Directors reserve the right to extend the Closing Date where permitted by the ASX Listing Rules.

1.3 Underwriting and Shortfall

The Offer is underwritten by Taylor Collison Limited. Details of the Underwriting Agreement are set out in Section 8. The price of shares issued to the Underwriter will not be less than A$0.002.

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 2), any allocation of the Shortfall to the Underwriter or any sub-underwriter (if appointed) in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will not count towards the Company’s 15% threshold under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, provided the Underwriter receives the New Shares within 15 business days after the close of the Offer.

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 3), any allocation of the Shortfall to persons other than the Underwriter or any sub-underwriter (if appointed) in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will not count towards the Company’s 15% threshold under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, provided that the Company makes the issue within three months after the close of the Offer and the issue price is not less than the price at which the Shares were offered under the Offer. The Directors in conjunction with the Underwriter reserve the right to issue the Shortfall at their discretion.

Underwriting of Shortfall, Sub-underwriting by Messrs O’Loughlin and Taylor

Messrs O’Loughlin and Taylor, Directors of King Solomon Mines, have agreed to act as subunderwriters to the issue. They have advised the Company that they have agreed to act as a sub-underwriter for any Shortfall to the issue up to a maximum of 15,000,000 shares each (A$30,000 each). Neither are current shareholders. If they receive no shares as subunderwriter their holding will remain at 0% and if they receive the maximum 15,000,000 of the Shortfall shares as sub-underwriter their holding will increase to 1.96% each. They will not receive a sub-underwriting fee.

1.5 Price

The New Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Issue will be issued at a price of A$0.002 per New Share.

1.6 Eligibility and Entitlement

All registered King Solomon Mines Shareholders as at the Record Date whose registered addresses are within Australia or New Zealand will be eligible to participate in the Rights Issue ( Eligible Shareholders ).

The Company has decided that the Rights Issue will not be extended to shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia or New Zealand as the Company has formed the view that it would be unreasonable to extend the Offer in such a way having regard to:

  • (a) the number of shareholders in each place outside Australia and New Zealand, both specifically and as a proportion of the total issued Shares of the Company;

  • (b) the number and value of New Shares to be offered to shareholders outside Australia and New Zealand; and

  • (c) the costs of complying with the laws and legal requirements, and requirements of regulatory authorities, in overseas jurisdictions.

The number of New Shares to which an Eligible Shareholder is entitled under the Offer is shown on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying each hard copy of this Offer Document sent to Eligible Shareholders.

A summary of the actions required by Eligible Shareholders under the Rights Issue is set out in Section 3 of this Offer Document and a detailed explanation is set out at pages 23 - 27.

1.7 Ineligible Shareholders

No Offer will be made to Shareholders with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand (Ineligible Shareholders).

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7, the Company has appointed Taylor Collison Limited (AFSL 247083) (Nominee) to arrange for the sale of the Entitlements that would have been given to Ineligible Shareholders and to account to them for the net proceeds of the sale (if any)..

The Nominee will direct the proceeds of sale (if any) to the Company or other party upon its instruction to facilitate pro-rata payments to Ineligible Shareholders. The Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Entitlements may be sold, and the manner in which any sale is made.

11

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements, will firstly be applied against the expenses of such sale, including brokerage, and any balance will accrue to the relevant Ineligible Shareholder as described below.

The net proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements (if any) will then be forwarded by the Company as soon as practicable to the Ineligible Shareholders, in proportion to their share of such Entitlements (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses). If any such net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by the Company for distributing those proceeds, the proceeds may be retained by the Company.

Notwithstanding that the Nominee must sell the Entitlements, Ineligible Shareholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds.

Shareholders resident in Australia or New Zealand holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up an Entitlement under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no beach of those regulations.

1.8 Record Date

The Record Date to participate in the Rights Issue is 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 24 October 2014.

1.9 Ranking

New Shares issued pursuant to the Rights Issue will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary Shares on issue.

1.10 Minimum Subscription

There is no minimum subscription under the Offer.

1.11 Allotment of New Shares

New Shares issued pursuant to duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms will be allotted no later than five Business Days after the Closing Date. However, no New Shares will be issued until the proceeds of the Rights Issue have been received and permission has been granted by ASX for quotation of the New Shares on ASX.

Application Monies will be held in trust for the Applicants until allotment of the New Shares. Any interest earned on the Application Monies will be for the benefit of King Solomon Mines and will be retained by King Solomon Mines whether or not allotment takes place.

A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form (together with a cheque or evidence of payment for the Application Monies by electronic means to King Solomon Mines’ satisfaction) constitutes a binding and irrevocable Application for the number of New Shares specified in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form does not need to be signed to be a binding Application.

1.12 Rounding

In determining Entitlements to New Shares pursuant to the Rights Issue, fractional Entitlements will be rounded up.

1.13 Taxation Implications

Shareholders should be aware that there may be taxation implications in relation to Entitlements under the Rights Issue. These taxation implications will vary between different Shareholders. Shareholders should seek, and rely on, their own taxation advice regarding an investment in the Company. Neither the Company, nor any of its officers, employees,

12

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

agents or advisers, accept any liability or responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences connected with the Rights Issue.

1.14 CHESS

The Company participates in the security transfer system known as CHESS. CHESS is operated by ASTC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASX, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the ASTC Settlement Rules.

Under CHESS, Eligible Shareholders will not receive a share certificate but will receive a statement of holding of New Shares. If you are broker-sponsored, and you take up all or part of your Entitlement, ASTC will send you a CHESS statement. The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Shares issued to you under this Offer Document, and provide details of your holder identification number and the participant identification number of the sponsor. If you are registered on the issuer-sponsored sub-register, and you take up all or part of your Entitlement, your statement will be despatched by the Share Registry, and will contain the number of New Shares issued to you under this Offer Document and a security holder reference number. A CHESS statement or issuer-sponsored statement will routinely be sent to holders of Shares at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their holding of Shares changes. Holders of Shares may request a statement at any other time. However, a charge may be made for additional statements.

1.15 Privacy Act

As a Shareholder, the Company and the Share Registry have already collected certain personal information from you. If you apply for New Shares, the Company and the Share Registry may update that personal information or collect additional personal information. The Company and the Share Registry will collect, hold and use such information to assess your Application, service your needs as an investor, provide facilities and services that you request, and carry out appropriate administration. Tax and company law requires some of the information to be collected in connection with your Application. If you do not provide the information requested, your Application may not be able to be processed efficiently or at all. The Company and the Share Registry may disclose your personal information for purposes related to your investment to their agents and service providers.

ACTIVITY BUDGETED AMOUNT
Exploration on the Company’s current projects and on any new
projects acquired
$419,000
New project investigation activities $60,000
Issue costs including underwriting fees $86,000
Corporate costs $149,000

2.2 Effect of Rights Issue on the Company

The principal effect of the Rights Issue will be to:

  • (b) provide the Company with additional capital for the purposes referred to in Section 2.1 of this Offer Document; and

  • (c) increase the number of Shares on issue from 306,396,139 Shares as at the date of this Offer Document to 765,990,348 Shares (see Section 2.3 of this Offer Document),

assuming none of the Options currently on issue are exercised prior to the Record Date.

Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlement will not have their holdings diluted by the Rights Issue.

Any New Shares that are not taken up as part of the Offer will be available to be part of a placement of the Shortfall. The holding of any Shareholder who does not exercise all of their rights under the Entitlement will be diluted.

2.3 Capital Structure

As the Rights Issue will be fully subscribed, the effect of the Rights Issue on the capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

Shares currently on issue 306,396,139
Number of Shares to be issued under this Offer Document (subject to
rounding)
459,594,209
Total Shares on issue after the completion of the Rights Issue 765,990,348

The above assumes no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date.

Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Entitlements will not have their shareholdings diluted as a result of the Rights Issue. Eligible Shareholders who do not participate in full or at all will have their holdings diluted and the holdings of Excluded Shareholders will be diluted.

14

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Any New Shares that are not taken up by an Eligible Shareholder will be available to be part of a placement of the Shortfall by the Underwriter.

2.4 Options on Issue

There are currently 1,600,000 Options on issue. Each Option entitles the holder, upon payment of the applicable exercise price, to subscribe for one Share. Details of these Options are:

Exercise Price Expiry Date of Options Number of Options as at
10 October 2014
A$0.12 29 July 2016 1,600,000

Only if the Options have been exercised and the Shares issued before the Record Date will these Shares participate in the Rights Issue. The number of New Shares issued may, therefore, increase if some or all of these Options are exercised prior to the Record Date. If all of the Options that can be exercised are exercised, the number of Shares on issue prior to the New Shares being issued will increase by 1,600,000.

3. ACTION REQUIRED BY SHAREHOLDERS

  • sell all or a proportion of their Entitlement other than on ASX ; or

  • not take up their Entitlement.

Please see the instructions and payment information under “How Much Do I Pay ?” on pages 23 to 27 of this Offer Document and follow the steps set out there for the action you wish to take.

3.2 Entitlement not taken up

Shareholders should be aware that their Entitlement may have value. Entitlements are renounceable, which enables Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to take up part or all of their Entitlement to seek to sell or trade all or some of their Entitlement on ASX. If you do not wish to accept any of your Entitlement under the Offer, you are not obliged to do anything. You will receive no benefit or New Shares and your Entitlement under the Offer will become Shortfall Shares.

The number of Shares you hold and the rights attached to those Shares will not be affected should you choose not to accept any of your Entitlement.

15

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

If you do nothing, you will not get any New Shares. The Directors recommend that you accept all or part of your Entitlement. However, if you wish to sell any of your Rights, you must do so before Rights trading ceases on 5 November 2014.

Please note that if you do not accept all or part of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above, any Entitlement not accepted will form part of the Shortfall. Please also note that post-dated cheques will not be accepted. If the full amount of the Application Monies is not paid upon application or a cheque does not clear, your application may be rejected or any allocation of New Shares made to you may be cancelled. An application will constitute an irrevocable offer by you to acquire the number of New Shares specified, on the terms and conditions set out in this Investment Statement and Prospectus and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. By submitting an application you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions and the Constitution. Applications cannot be revoked or withdrawn and Application Monies will not, therefore, be refunded. You should note that the Board reserves the right to extend the Offer and that such extension may result in the dates referred to in the table on page 10 of this Offer Document being altered. Any such changes will be advised through the ASX companies’ announcements platform.

3.3 Enquiries concerning your Entitlement

If you have any questions relating to your Entitlement under the Offer, please contact the Company, at 1800 061 569 (within Australia) or +64 6 364 8462 (for overseas callers).

3.4 Declarations and certifications

You must make your application for New Shares in accordance with this Offer Document and the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. King Solomon Mines reserves the right to reject applications not made in this way.

King Solomon Mines also reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or if they or their nominees fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

Submitting an Application constitutes a binding offer to acquire New Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Offer Document and Entitlement and Acceptance Form and, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn.

You do not need to sign the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for it to be considered binding.

An Application may still be treated as a valid Application for New Shares even if it is not completed or submitted correctly. The Company’s decision whether to treat an Application as valid and how to construe, amend, complete or submit the Application is final.

By completing and returning your Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite Application Monies or making a payment by BPAY®, you will be deemed to have acknowledged, represented and warranted:

4. PROSPECTS, INCLUDING RISKS

King Solomon Mines is engaged in exploring for gold and copper in Inner Mongolia, China.

King Solomon Mines owns a 100% interest in two exploration licences, which contain its two exploration projects in Inner Mongolia, China. The Company has explored these projects over the past few years and concluded that they do not have the potential for discovery of a minerals resource of sufficient size to justify further work by King Solomon Mines. The Company has sought buyers for its principal project Sonid North in Inner Mongolia, China over the past year. A sale has yet to be concluded.

During the year, the Company sold two of its projects. The Company has also reviewed a number of potential new projects for acquisition and has concluded that having a reasonable level of cash would assist this process. The funds raised through this Rights Issue should place the Company in a strong position in its negotiations to acquire a new project(s).

There are certain special trade factors and risks that could materially affect the prospects of the Company. These risks are set out under the heading “What are my risks?” on pages 28 to 35.

7. INVESTMENT STATEMENT INFORMATION – ANSWERS TO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

This Investment Statement set out on page 3, and 20 to 37 of this Offer Document is dated 10 October 2014 and is an Investment Statement for the purposes of the Securities Act 1978 and the Securities Regulations 2009. The Prospectus to which this Investment Statement relates forms part of this Offer Document.

What sort of investment is this?

Offer

This is pro-rata, renounceable Rights Issue by King Solomon Mines Limited of 459,594,209 New Shares (subject to the rounding up of Entitlements) in the Company to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of three New Shares for every two existing Shares held on the Record Date, at a price of NZ$0.0022 per New Share to New Zealand resident Shareholders (based on an exchange rate fixed by King Solomon Mines of NZ$1.00 equals $0.896 Australian dollars) and A$0.002 per New Share to Australian resident Shareholders, payable on application. New Zealand resident Shareholders may alternatively pay A$0.002 per New Share by subscribing in Australian dollars. Assuming this Offer is fully subscribed, the New Shares will represent 60.0% of King Solomon Mines’ issued ordinary shares after allotment of the New Shares.

Your Entitlement to be issued New Shares under this Offer (the Right) is Renounceable, meaning that you may accept your Rights either in full or in part but that any Rights you choose not to accept may be sold and some benefit may be received in respect of those Rights. However, the ability to trade Rights will be dependent on there being a demand from prospective purchasers of the Rights. Eligible Shareholders may not apply for New Shares in excess of the Entitlement. Application Monies for New Shares in excess of Entitlements by $1 or more will be refunded without interest. Refunds will be posted within seven calendar days of allotment of the New Shares following the close of the Offer. Due to the administrative cost of making refunds, Application Monies in excess of Entitlements by less than $1 will not be refunded.

New Shares

Each New Share issued will be a fully paid ordinary share and shall rank equally in all respects with the Existing Shares in the Company at the time of issue and will provide you with the right to:

  • an equal share with other ordinary shares in the Company in dividends, if any, authorised by the Board;

  • attend and vote at meetings of the Company, including the right to cast one vote on a poll held at such meetings;

  • receive certain Company information;

  • an equal share with other ordinary shares in the Company in the distribution of any surplus assets on liquidation of the Company; and

  • other rights conferred on shareholders by the Constitution and the Companies Act.

The above is a summary of some of the principal rights of Shareholders pursuant to the Constitution. It does not purport to constitute an exhaustive or definitive statement of the

20

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

rights and liabilities of the Shareholders. Investors are accordingly encouraged to inspect the Constitution. The Constitution may be viewed during normal business hours at the Registered Office of the Company (the address of which is set out on page 5 of this Offer Document) or online at the website of the Company (www.kingsolomonmines.com), the Registrar of Financial Service Providers (www.business.govt.nz/fsp), or the ASX (www.asx.com.au ).

The rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are also regulated by the New Zealand Companies Act, the general law and the Listing Rules of the ASX.

Application will be made to ASX for permission to list the Rights and the New Shares. However, ASX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this Investment Statement and Prospectus. If the ASX does not grant permission for quotation of the Rights or the New Shares offered pursuant to this Investment Statement and Prospectus within three months after the date of this Investment Statement and Prospectus, or such longer period as is permitted, none of the New Shares offered by this Investment Statement and Prospectus will be allotted or issued. In these circumstances, the Company will repay all Application Monies, without interest.

ASX is not defined as a “registered exchange” under New Zealand securities laws, and accordingly, for the purposes of New Zealand securities laws, the Rights and the New Shares have not been approved for trading on a “registered exchange”. The Company will not seek listing of the Rights or the New Shares on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.

Underwriting

The Offer is underwritten by Taylor Collison Limited and there is no minimum subscription. The Underwriter will receive a management fee of 1% of all monies raised and an underwriting fee of 5% of the amount raised by the issue. Details of the underwriting agreement are set out in Section 8. The price of shares issued through the Underwriter will not be less than A$0.002.

Other terms

All other terms of this Offer and the New Shares are contained in this Investment Statement and Prospectus, with the exception of those rights and obligations implied by law or set out in the Company’s Constitution.

Activities

King Solomon Mines, which was incorporated on 28 January 2003, is a mining company which is exploring for gold and copper in Inner Mongolia, China.

King Solomon Mines owns a 100% interest in two exploration licences, which contain its two exploration projects in Inner Mongolia, China. The Company has explored these projects

22

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

over the past few years and concluded that they do not have the potential for discovery of a minerals resource of sufficient size to justify further work by King Solomon Mines. The Company holds the rights to these exploration projects through a 90% equity interest in Inner Mongolia Plate Mining Limited (Plate), a Sino-foreign incorporated joint venture, which holds the two exploration licences referred to above. The remaining 10% interest in Plate is held by Inner Mongolia Ao Meng Xin Economic and Trade Co., Ltd (AMX), which is jointly owned by Fu La, who is a past Director of the Company, and his wife Na Dong. The rights of the Company and AMX, as shareholders of Plate, are governed by an equity joint venture contract. AMX holds its 10% interest in Plate on trust for the Company.

The Company has sought buyers for its principal project Sonid North in Inner Mongolia, China over the past year. A sale has yet to be concluded. The Company has reviewed a number of potential new projects for acquisition and has concluded that having a reasonable level of cash would assist this process. The funds raised through this Rights Issue should place the Company in a strong position in its negotiations to acquire a new project(s). The Company is continuing with this approach. The additions of Simon O’Loughlin and Simon Taylor to the Board will also assist this process through the skills and experience they bring to the Company.

King Solomon Mines has operations in New Zealand (Otaki based head office) and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: KSO).

Selling all or a proportion of your Entitlement other than on ASX

You may elect to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX. If the purchaser of your Entitlement is an Ineligible Shareholder or a person that would be an Ineligible Shareholder were they a registered holder of Shares, that purchaser will not be able to take up the Entitlement they have purchased.

If you are a Shareholder on the issuer-sponsored sub-register and you wish to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person, other than on ASX, forward a completed standard renunciation and transfer form (obtainable from the Share Registry) accompanied by the applicable transferee's cheque for the New Shares they wish to subscribe for in in Australian or New Zealand currency, crossed "Not Negotiable" and made payable to "King Solomon Mines Limited" and lodged at any time after the Opening Date and no later than 5:00pm (Sydney Time) on 12 November 2014 with the Company (by post) at the address listed on page 24.

If the transferee wants to exercise some or all of the Entitlement, you should follow your stockbroker's instructions as to the most appropriate way to take up the Entitlement on their behalf.

If the Share Registry receives both a completed renunciation form and a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form in respect of the same Entitlement, the renunciation will be given effect in priority to the acceptance.

Payment by cheque

The Application Monies for New Shares the transferee of the Entitlement wants to acquire must be received by the Share Registry by a cheque in Australian or New Zealand currency, crossed "Not Negotiable" and made payable to "King Solomon Mines Limited" and lodged at any time after the issue of the Opening Date and no later than 5:00pm (Sydney Time) on 12 November 2014 with the Company (by post) at the address listed on page 24.

Entitlement not taken up

Shareholders should be aware that their Entitlement may have value. Entitlements are renounceable, which enables Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to take up part or all of their Entitlement to seek to sell or trade all or some of their Entitlement on ASX. If you do not wish to accept any of your Entitlement under the Offer, you are not obliged to do anything. You will receive no benefit or New Shares and your Entitlement under the Offer will become Shortfall Shares.

The number of Shares you hold and the rights attached to those Shares will not be affected should you choose not to accept any of your Entitlement.

26

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

If you do nothing, you will not get any New Shares. The Directors recommend that you accept all or part of your Entitlement. However, if you wish to sell any of your Rights, you must do so before Rights trading ceases on 5 November 2014.

Please note that if you do not accept all or part of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above, any Entitlement not accepted will form part of the Shortfall. Please also note that post-dated cheques will not be accepted. If the full amount of the Application Monies is not paid upon application or a cheque does not clear, your application may be rejected or any allocation of New Shares made to you may be cancelled. An application will constitute an irrevocable offer by you to acquire the number of New Shares specified, on the terms and conditions set out in this Investment Statement and Prospectus and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. By submitting an application you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions and the Constitution. Applications cannot be revoked or withdrawn and Application Monies will not, therefore, be refunded. You should note that the Board reserves the right to extend the Offer and that such extension may result in the dates referred to in the table on page 10 of this Investment Statement and Prospectus being altered. Any such changes will be advised through the ASX companies’ announcements platform.

What are the charges?

There are no charges payable to the Company by subscribers for the New Shares other than the subscription price per New Share. The sale or purchase of the Rights and/or Shares on ASX is likely to attract brokerage fees and charges.

All expenses in respect of this Offer are being met by the Company. The Company estimates that its costs (including underwriting) in respect of the Offer will be A$86,000 plus GST.

What returns will I get?

Sale of Rights

The return (if any) from selling Rights will depend on the price for which they are sold (if they are sold), which will depend on the price of the Rights as quoted on the ASX when they are sold, and there being demand from prospective purchasers of the Rights. There is no guarantee that the Rights will have any value or that they will be able to be sold. The person legally liable to pay the returns (if any) on the sale of Rights will be the person who purchases the Rights.

Dividends

New Shares issued as a result of this Offer will rank equally in all respects, including as to dividends and voting entitlements, with the Existing Shares on issue at the time of allotment. Shareholders will be entitled to receive or benefit from any dividends paid by the Company in respect of New Shares and any other returns attaching to the New Shares. However, the Company is not intending to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, given that it is intended that the Company will use all available funds to increase the Company's cash reserves, initially by A$919,188 (before deducting the costs of the Rights Issue) immediately after completion of the Rights Issue and to provide the Company with additional capital. Subject to the usual legal relationships as between brokers and clients, the Company is the person legally liable to pay any dividends declared by the Directors.

27

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Sale of New Shares

Shareholders may benefit from any increase in the market price of their New Shares if they sell them. However the market price of the New Shares may also decline. Factors which may have an influence on the share price of King Solomon Mines ordinary shares and, consequently, on returns from the sale of New Shares include:

  • prevailing share market conditions;

  • general economic conditions;

  • interest rate rises or reductions;

  • significant changes in the operations or results of King Solomon Mines;

  • a sale of a significant parcel of King Solomon Mines ordinary shares;

  • a take-over offer by a third party; and

  • the risks described in this Investment Statement under the heading “What are my risks?” below.

The person legally liable to pay the returns (if any) on the sale of New Shares will be the person who purchases the New Shares.

Taxation

Your return from the Rights or New Shares may be affected by taxes or changes to taxation laws. In certain circumstances, gains on the sale of Rights or New Shares may be taxable. Generally, where shares are acquired as an investment, New Zealand resident shareholders will not be taxed on gains from a subsequent sale of shares unless the sale is part of a share investment business, the shareholder is in the business of dealing in such investments or acquired the shares with the purpose (or dominant purpose if there is more than one purpose) of sale, or where the sale is part of a profit making undertaking or scheme. These comments, and the descriptions referred to, are of a general nature. They do not constitute legal or financial advice. You should contact your own financial or legal adviser to seek advice concerning the tax consequences of owning or selling Rights or New Shares in view of your own particular circumstances.

No guarantee or promise

Neither King Solomon Mines, its Directors, nor any person associated with this Offer, guarantees the New Shares or that a dividend will be paid on the New Shares or that the issue price of NZ$0.0022 (or A$0.002) per New Share will be recouped. No amount of returns on the Rights or on the New Shares (whether by way of dividend or return on sale or otherwise) is promised or guaranteed by any person. Accordingly, the dates on which, or the frequency with which, returns (if any) on the Rights or the New Shares will be due and paid are unknown.

What are my risks?

General risk factors

In accepting their Entitlements under the Rights Issue, Shareholders will be subscribing for New Shares in the Company. There are risks involved in making this investment. Shareholders should refer to announcements made by King Solomon Mines to ASX to ensure they understand the operations of the Company and appreciate the risks involved

28

with investing in the Company. Investors in the Company will also be subject to normal risks relating to the general levels of economic activity and macro-economic factors beyond the control of the Company, including share market conditions that may affect the share market and share prices generally. General risk factors that may have an influence on the share price are described above under the heading “What returns will I get?” and the occurrence of such events, or the specific risk factors detailed below, could result in investors in the Company being unable to recover, or receive any returns on their investment.

Specific risks

There are a number of specific risks that may affect King Solomon Mines’ operating performance and, consequently, the value of its Shares and returns on the New Shares. Key risks that may affect the value of the New Shares and returns on the New Shares are as follows:

(a) Value of Assets in Inner Mongolia, China

The Directors have reviewed the carrying value of the tenements based on the Directors’ best estimate of the likely sales price of each tenement. There is no active market in China for these tenements. As a result of assessments, the Directors have reduced the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets to A$391,000.

The Company’s subsidiary, Plate, may not be successful in selling any of the exploration licences or may sell these assets at below the best estimate of likely sales price. Plate sold its office in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia in December 2013. It has received progress payments from the purchaser. These payments have been applied to the satisfaction of outstanding amounts owed to trade creditors. The purchaser of the office building may not make the final payment due under the sale agreement by the due date in June 2015. In this case, Plate would seek to sell the office to another party to recoup what is owed. It may not be successful in doing this as the property market in Hohhot is currently weak and a sale may not be possible.

(b) Ongoing Funding

As a result of the Rights Issue, the Company expects to raise approximately A$919,188 before costs. As noted, these funds shall be deployed for general working capital purposes, mainly in connection with exploration work on the Company’s Inner Mongolia, China tenements, its new project assessment and initial work on assets acquired, detailed due diligence work on potential project acquisitions and for working capital to fund its corporate costs.

In addition to these funds, the Company may need to raise debt and / or equity from time-to-time in relation to the funding of its business activities. The availability of such capital is influenced by a number of factors including, but not limited to, economic, legal and political conditions, and investors’ and financiers’ investment and credit policies. The inability of the Company to raise capital on favourable terms, or not at all, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s tenements and business. No assurance can be given that future funding will be made available on acceptable terms (if at all).

There are also a number of other specific risks associated with King Solomon Mines, which may adversely affect the Company’s financial position, prospects and price of its listed securities.

29

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

(c) Country Risk

One of the purposes of this issue is to fund exploration in Inner Mongolia, China. Actions by foreign Governments and authorities are outside the control of the Company, and the rights to remedies that may be available in Australia are not necessarily available in China.

The projects in China are subject to a number of risks associated with operating in that country with its different political and legal system.

There is always a risk that the current, or a future, government may adopt substantially different policies or legislation that adversely affect mining and exploration activities. This may impact upon the Company’s ability to obtain or maintain the necessary permits, authorisations or agreements to implement the projects under conditions or within time frames that make such plans and operations economic, and as a result, the Company’s results of operations and its financial condition may be adversely affected.

The Company’s operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign currency remittance, income taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and safety issues.

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the operations or profitability of the Company.

(d) Exchange Rate and Metal Price Risks

The value of the Company’s projects in Inner Mongolia will be primarily dependent on the price of gold and other metals, which are volatile and may fluctuate as a result of numerous factors that are beyond the control of the Company. Also, because the Company is operating using a range of currencies (A$, NZ$, US$ and Yuan), the variability in these currencies as between themselves and as between other currencies may have an adverse impact on the Company’s profitability, and hence the share price.

(e) Environmental Risk

The Company is committed to making as little an impact on the natural environment as possible. However, mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with the pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products. Laws and regulations relating to the protection and remediation of the environment are generally becoming more restrictive, such that the cost of environmental mitigation may outweigh the benefit of continued activity. Further risk aspects of the Company’s projects may include its compliance obligations as a result of changes in laws and regulations, assumptions that the Company makes to estimate liabilities, or if unanticipated conditions arise at its operations. If these occur, expenses and provisions may increase that could adversely affect the Company’s results and financial condition.

30

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

(f) Potential Acquisitions

  • As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in companies, products, technologies or resource projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products, technologies or resource projects.

General Risks

(a) Investment Risk

  • The New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Rights Issue should be considered speculative. They carry no guarantee as to payment of dividends, return of capital or market value. The prices at which the New Shares trade on ASX may be above or below the issue price paid for the New Shares. While the Directors commend the Rights Issue, Shareholders must make their own assessment of the likely risks and determine whether accepting their Entitlement is appropriate to their own circumstances.

(b) Share Market Risk

The Company has applied to ASX for quotation of the New Shares. Share market conditions may affect the listed securities regardless of the operating performance of the Company. Many factors will affect the market price of the securities including local and international stock markets, movements in interest rates, commodity prices and currency fluctuations, general economic outlook and investor sentimentality generally. The market price of the New Shares may fall as well as rise.

(c) Availability of Capital Risk

The ability of the Company to access debt and/or raise equity as, when and if required will be influenced by many factors and capital may not be available on commercially acceptable terms or may not be available at all.

(d) Economic Factors and Government Risk

The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of factors affecting performance of all industries, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • general economic conditions in Australia, New Zealand and China, and its major trading partners;

  • changes in government policies, taxation and other laws;

  • the strength of the equity markets in Australia and New Zealand, and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards the commodities (resources) sector;

  • movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates;

  • currency exchange rate fluctuations;

  • changes in demand for, and sales pricing over, the short, medium and long terms for commodities proposed to be produced and sold by the Company (particularly gold and copper); and

  • natural disasters, social upheaval or war in Australia, New Zealand, China or other countries.

31

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

(e) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Risks

  • Exploration, mine project development and mining inherently contain elements of significant risk. The future success of the Company, like all exploration and mining companies, will be heavily dependent upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Such risk factors include:

  • maintenance of tenure, access to the Company’s tenements, and the granting of any mining tenements and approvals required for the conduct of mining activities;

  • reliance on key personnel, including the Directors, and ongoing access to competent management and technical personnel;

  • the discovery, confirmation and exploitation of economically-recoverable ore reserves on the Company’s tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, which cannot be assured. Exploration on the Company’s existing tenements may be unsuccessful, resulting in a reduction of the value of those tenements, diminution in the cash reserves of the Company, and possible relinquishment of the exploration and mining tenements;

  • the calculation and interpretation of resource estimates, which are by their nature expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates, which were valid when originally calculated, may alter significantly through additional fieldwork or when new information or techniques become available. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans, which may in turn adversely affect the Company’s operations;

  • financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture or other contractual relationship to which the Company is, or may become, a party;

  • mechanical failure, or breakdown of mining or drilling plant and equipment or mine structure resulting in significant delays;

  • adverse weather conditions, accidents or industrial disputes over a prolonged period adversely affecting mining activities and the earning of revenues;

  • industrial disputation in Australia, New Zealand, China and other countries; and

  • adverse changes in government policies or legislation affecting mining and exploration activities.

There is no assurance that exploration of the mineral interests currently held by the Company, or in any other exploration interest the Company may subsequently acquire, will result in the discovery of an economically viable resource.

Even if a mineral resource is identified, exploitation of the resource may be hampered by various factors, including the unpredictable nature of mineral deposits, inappropriate drilling techniques, incorrect grade estimates, location and access restrictions, adverse ground conditions or poor equipment availability. Any of these factors may result in the exploration programme being drastically downgraded, preventing the Company from achieving its intended rate of production of metal.

(f) Title Risks, Landowner Title and Sovereignty Risks

  • Interests in tenements are governed by the respective state and national 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 requirements, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to, or its interest in, the tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments as and when they arise.

32

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

In Inner Mongolia, China, or other locations where the Company may operate, certain rights are vested with the local landowners. There is always risk that the Company and the landowners cannot agree, and progress is hindered or even curtailed as a result. Should this occur, the Company's ability to conduct exploration and/or mining activities may be affected, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial performance.

Further, exploration tenements do not confer authority to develop the project. In order for the Company to undertake development and production, it will need to obtain mining tenements under the relevant mining legislation. There is no guarantee that mining tenements or any approvals required for mining activities will be granted and, even if granted, they may be subject to any terms and conditions that the regulator considers appropriate. There is a further risk that tenements or leases will not be granted in a timely manner or that they will be granted with unexpected adverse conditions that will affect the profitability of the project.

(g) Calculation of Estimates

The calculation and interpretation of resource estimates are by their nature expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates of the size and grade of an ore body depend on extrapolating a limited amount of geographical data. Estimates that were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly through additional fieldwork or when new information or techniques become available. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans, which may in turn adversely affect the Company’s operations.

(h) Personnel

The Company’s success depends on the continued services of its key personnel. Due to the key role they have taken in developing King Solomon Mines’ exploration, business and financial plans, the Company could be adversely affected if any of them ceased to actively participate in the management of King Solomon Mines. If existing key personnel leave the Company, there may be a limited number of persons with the requisite skills and experience to serve in King Solomon Mines’ senior management positions, which may hinder the Company’s ability to successfully manage its growth plans.

(i) Production / Capital Costs

Fluctuations in exploration, production and capital costs may impact upon the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. These costs may vary as a result of unforeseen events beyond the control of the Company, including international and local economic and political events.

(j) Equipment and Labour

Increases in worldwide and regional mining activities may increase costs or otherwise limit the Company’s ability to purchase or hire equipment, supplies and services, and to recruit skilled personnel. There are additional risks of mechanical failure or breakdown of mining or drilling equipment resulting in significant delays. These factors may delay King Solomon Mines’ planned exploration, development and production activities, which may adversely affect the Company’s business, result of operations and financial condition.

33

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

(k) Local Community Relations

The Company’s ability to advance its tenements in Inner Mongolia, China or in other jurisdictions will depend in significant part on its ability to maintain good relations with the local communities of these areas. A tenement holder is liable to compensate landowners for its entry onto and occupation of the land, and for loss and damage caused by exploration, mining or related activities. There is always the risk that negotiation with local communities regarding the benefits they will derive from the projects, compensation, royalties, employment and local business may not be successful, which may lead to progress with the projects being disrupted or curtailed as a result. Should this occur, King Solomon Mines’ ability to conduct exploration and / or mining activities may be affected, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance.

(l) Insurance Risks

The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.

(m) Competition Risk

The industry in which the Company is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. 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 activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.

(n) Investments may not be wholly owned

Resource investments (minerals and oil and gas) are often structured through joint ventures. There is a risk that development/production activity could be disrupted in situations where there is a disagreement on development/production programs or other issues between the Company and the other parties in such joint ventures. Should such disagreements occur, this may have a deleterious impact on the Company’s operations and performance generally.

Speculative Nature of Investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares offered under this Rights Issue. Therefore, the New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Rights Issue carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those New Shares. Potential investors should consider that investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for New Shares in the Company. Shareholders should consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other financial adviser if they are in any doubt as to the value of the Rights Issue and in particular in relation to taxation implications.

34

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Your liability and consequences of insolvency

The New Shares allotted under this Offer will be issued fully paid and you will have no liability to King Solomon Mines for any further payment in respect of the New Shares. If the Company becomes insolvent, you would have no obligation to pay any more money to the Company or any other person. Claims on assets of the Company, in the event of the Company being put into liquidation or wound up, that rank ahead of the claims of shareholders in the Company are:

  • all creditors of the Company, both secured and unsecured; and

  • those claims given priority by legislation such as claims for liquidation costs, employees’ wages and taxes.

After all such claims have been made and paid, any remaining assets will be available for distribution to the Company’s Shareholders who will rank equally among themselves. It is reasonably foreseeable that, on termination of your Shares as a consequence of the Company being put into liquidation, you will have received, in total, less than the amount you have paid for the Shares.

Can the investment be altered?

The full terms of this Offer are set out in this Investment Statement and Prospectus. Those terms may be altered by the Company by an amendment to this Investment Statement and Prospectus, details of which must be filed with the Registrar of Financial Service Providers. However, those terms cannot be altered without your consent once your application for New Shares has been accepted. The rights attaching to the New Shares are set out under the heading “What sort of investment is this?” above and in the section headed “Description of Shares” of this Investment Statement and Prospectus. The rights conferred on the Company’s Shareholders are set out in the Companies Act and the Constitution, and also the applicable Listing Rules of the ASX. Shareholders’ rights may be negated, altered or added to by an amendment of the Constitution, which may be made by a special resolution of Shareholders. A special resolution requires the approval of 75% of the votes cast of shareholders affected by the relevant matter, to be valid. King Solomon Mines may not take any action which would affect the rights of Shareholders without approval by special resolution of those Shareholders whose rights would be affected by the action in question. Certain major transactions and those that would change the nature of the Company’s business also require the approval of a special resolution.

How do I cash in my investment?

Except as otherwise prescribed by law, you have no right to receive back from the Company the amount subscribed for the New Shares offered under this Investment Statement and Prospectus, except where the Company seeks to buy back its own Shares or where the Company is being wound up (in which case any assets remaining after satisfaction of creditors’ claims will be distributed to shareholders on a pro rata basis, and there is no guarantee that you will recover any or all of the amount subscribed for the New Shares)..

The Rights are Renounceable and it is intended that the Rights will be quoted on the ASX on 22 October 2014. Accordingly, you may seek to sell your Rights through ASX. It is not certain however that you will be able to sell your Rights. This will depend on the volume of Rights offered for sale and purchase and the price at which you are seeking to sell your Rights. If you wish to sell some or all of your Rights, you should contact your broker to sell

35

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

the number of Rights you wish to renounce. Sales of Rights through a broker will attract brokerage at the rates charged by that broker. A shareholder of New Shares is entitled to sell or transfer their shares to another person by private agreement or on the ASX, subject to compliance with the Constitution and any applicable laws. In the opinion of the Company there is an established market for King Solomon Mines’ ordinary shares on the ASX. Following acceptance for quotation by ASX Limited, the New Shares, like the Existing Shares, may be sold or transferred by the holder at any time on the ASX. Sales of Shares through a broker will attract brokerage at the rates charged by that broker. The Company does not charge fees for registering on-market share transfers.

The Underwriting Agreement also contains a number of indemnities, representations and warranties from the Company to the Underwriter that are considered standard for an agreement of that type.

Sub-Underwriting Agreements

The Underwriter has executed sub-underwriting agreements with the Company’s Directors Messrs O’Loughlin and Taylor whereby they commit to sub-underwrite an amount of up to A$30,000 (15,000,000 shares) each. The number of shares allocated to the subunderwriters will depend on the Shortfall arising, if any, after shareholder entitlement applications are allotted.

Effect of the Offer on control of the Company

The potential effect the Offer will have on the control of the Company is as follows:

  • (a) if all Shareholders are Eligible Shareholders and take up their Entitlements under the Offer then the Entitlement Offer will have no effect on the control of the Company;

  • (b) if not all Shareholders are Eligible Shareholders or do not take up their full Entitlements, the Shortfall will be allocated by the Underwriter in consultation with the Company, to the Underwriter or any sub-underwriter (if appointed) to the Offer (in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 2)) or any other parties selected by them. The effect the placement of the Shortfall may have on control will depend entirely on the allocations made by the Underwriter or any sub-underwriter (if appointed);

  • (c) if some Shareholders do not take up their Entitlements (whether because they are Ineligible Shareholders or otherwise), their equity in the Company will be diluted. The equity of Shareholders who only take up part of their Entitlement will also be diluted, but to a lesser extent;

  • (d) the Options the Company currently has on issue are not expected to be exercised prior to the Record Date as the exercise price for these Options exceeds the issue price and the share price on 9 October 2014, of A$0.005 per Share at close of trade, therefore the Options are expected to have no effect on the Offer or the control of the Company;

42

==> picture [65 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

  • (e) given the Offer is fully underwritten and that the Underwriter will enter into subunderwriting arrangements with various parties, based on the structure of the Offer and the current level of holdings of substantial shareholders, the Offer is not expected to have a material effect or consequence on the control of the Company.

Other terms

All terms of the New Shares being offered are set out in this Investment Statement and Prospectus, except for those implied by law or set out in a document that:

  • (a) has been registered with a public official;

  • (b) is available for public inspection; and
