Successful Implementation of Scheme of Arrangement

MOD Resources Ltd (ASX/LSE:MOD) (the Company or MOD) is pleased to advise that the Scheme of Arrangement pursuant to which Sandfire Resources NL (Sandfire) will acquire all of the issued shares of the Company (the Scheme) has been implemented.

All MOD shares have been transferred to Sandfire. The Scheme consideration, comprising cash and/or Sandfire shares, as detailed in the Scheme Booklet, has been paid or issued (as applicable) to MOD shareholders, other than ineligible foreign shareholders and shareholders who hold an unmarketable parcel who did not make an election to receive Sandfire shares (Unmarketable Parcel Shareholders).

Ineligible foreign shareholders and Unmarketable Parcel Shareholders will have the Scheme consideration that they would have otherwise been entitled to receive issued to a sale agent who will then sell those Sandfire shares and remit the proceeds (if any) to those shareholders.

Update on Cash Elections

The Company advises that a total of 153 shareholders, holding a total of 126,609,122 fully paid ordinary shares in MOD (MOD Shares) as at 5:00pm (WST) on 16 October 2019 (Record Date), made a valid election to receive cash consideration under the Scheme (Cash Election). The total consideration payable for these shares is approximately $56.9 million which exceeds the cash consideration cap of $41.6 million (Maximum Cash Consideration).

Accordingly, shareholders who made a Cash Election have had their cash consideration scaled back on a pro-rata basis so that the total amount of cash consideration payable equals the Maximum Cash Consideration. The remainder of the consideration has been paid to those shareholders in Sandfire shares.

Shareholders who made a Cash Election received:

- A$0.3285703 per MOD Share (Section A of the scale back formula, outlined in section 5.3 of the Scheme Booklet); and

- 0.0179176 Sandfire shares for every MOD Share held (Section B of the scale back formula, outlined in section 5.3 of the Scheme Booklet).

Removal from Official List

An application has been made to remove MOD from the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange as at close of trade on 29 October 2019.

Subject to the confirmation of the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange, admission of MOD's ordinary shares to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market is expected to be cancelled with effect from market opening in London on 29 October 2019.
