(a)        On page 41of the Original Bidder's Statement, in Section 13.1 'Offer', delete subparagraph (i) and replace with the following:

 

(i)         If you require additional assistance and you are a Shareholder on the MCM United Kingdom Register (as you hold your MCM Shares in CREST), please call the Goldway UK Offer Information Line on +44 (0) 370 707 4040. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls from outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate.

 

(b)        On page 46 of the Original Bidder's Statement, in Section 13.3 'How to accept this Offer', delete subparagraph (i) and replace with the following:

(i)          MCM Shares held in uncertificated form (i.e. in CREST)

(i)       If your MCM Shares are in uncertificated form, you should take (or procure to be taken) the action set out below to transfer the MCM Shares in respect of which you wish to accept the Offer to an escrow balance (that is, issue a "TTE Instruction"), specifying 3RA26 as the Escrow Agent, as soon as possible and in any event so that the transfer to escrow settles no later than 1.00 pm on the date prior to the Closing Date. Note that settlement cannot take place on weekends or public holidays (or other times at which the CREST system is non-operational) - you should therefore ensure you time the input of any TTE Instruction(s) accordingly.

(ii)      If you hold MCM Shares in uncertificated form, but under different member account IDs you should complete a separate TTE Instruction in respect of each member account ID.

(iii)     The input and settlement of a TTE Instruction in accordance with this section will constitute an acceptance of the Offer in respect of the number of MCM Shares so transferred to escrow.

(iv)     If you are a CREST Sponsored Member, you should refer to your CREST Sponsor before taking any action. Your CREST Sponsor will be able to confirm details of your participant ID and the member account ID under which your MCM Shares are held. In addition, only your CREST Sponsor will be able to send the TTE Instruction to Euroclear in relation to your MCM Shares.

(v)      After settlement of the TTE Instruction, you will not be able to access the MCM Shares concerned in CREST for any transaction or charging purposes. If the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional, the Escrow Agent will withdraw the MCM Shares which will be transferred to Goldway.

(vi)     You are recommended to refer to the CREST Manual published by Euroclear for further information on the CREST procedures outlined above.

(vii)    You should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular corporate action. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in connection with a TTE instruction and its settlement. You should therefore ensure that all necessary action is taken by you (or by your CREST sponsor) to enable a TTE instruction relating to your MCM Shares to settle prior to 1.00pm on the date prior to the Closing Date. In this regard, you are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

(viii)    Goldway will make an appropriate announcement if any of the details contained in this section alter for any reason that is material to MCM Shareholders.

(j)      To accept the Offer

(i)         To accept the Offer in its basic form in respect of MCM Shares held in uncertificated form, you should send (or, if you are a CREST Sponsored Member, procure that your CREST Sponsor sends) a TTE Instruction to Euroclear in relation to such shares. A TTE Instruction must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and must contain, in addition to the other information that is required for a TTE Instruction to settle in CREST, the following details:

(A)        the number of MCM Shares to be transferred to an escrow balance;

(B)        your member account ID;

(C)        your participant ID;

(D)       the participant ID of the Receiving Agent. This is 3RA26;

(E)        the member account ID of the Escrow Agent. This is MCMGOL01;

(F)        the intended settlement date. This should be as soon as possible and in any event not later than 1.00 pm on the date prior to the Closing Date;

(G)       the Corporate Action ISIN. This is MCMGOL01;

(H)        the Corporate Action Number for the Offer is allocated by Euroclear and can be found by reviewing the relevant corporate action details in CREST;

(I)         input with standard TTE Instruction of 80; and

(J)        your name and contact telephone number in the shared note field.

(k)      Deposit of MCM Shares into, and withdrawals of MCM Shares from, CREST

(i)         Normal CREST procedures (including timings) apply in relation to any MCM Shares that are, or are to be, converted from uncertificated to certificated form, or from certificated to uncertificated form, during the course of the Offer (whether any such conversion arises as a result of a transfer of MCM Shares or otherwise). MCM Shareholders who are proposing to convert any such shares are recommended to ensure that the conversion procedures are implemented in sufficient time to enable the person holding or acquiring the MCM Shares as a result of the conversion to take all necessary steps in connection with an acceptance of the Offer (in particular, as regards delivery of share certificate(s) and/or other document(s) of title or transfers to an escrow balance as described above) prior to 1.00pm on the date prior to the Closing Date.

(l)      Validity of acceptances

(i)         Holders of MCM Shares in uncertificated form who wish to accept the Offer should note that a TTE Instruction will only be valid acceptance of that Offer as at the relevant closing date if it has settled on or before 1.00pm on the date prior to the Closing Date. An Acceptance Form which is received in respect of MCM Shares held in uncertificated form will not constitute a valid acceptance and will be disregarded.

(m)      Withdrawal of acceptances

(i)         In the case of MCM Shares held in uncertificated form, an accepting MCM Shareholder may, if permitted in accordance with Section 13.5(a) withdraw their acceptance through CREST by sending (or, if a CREST Sponsored Member, procuring that their CREST Sponsor sends) an ESA Instruction to settle in CREST in relation to each Electronic Acceptance to be withdrawn. Each ESA Instruction must, in order for it to be valid and settle, include the following details:

(A)        the number of MCM Shares to be withdrawn, together with their ISIN number (this is AU000000MCM9);

(B)        the member account ID of the accepting MCM Shareholder, together with their participant ID;

(C)        the Escrow Agent's participant ID (this is 3RA26) and the member account ID of the Escrow Agent included in the relevant Electronic Acceptance (this is MCMGOL01);

(D)       the CREST transaction ID of the Electronic Acceptance to be withdrawn;

(E)        the intended settlement date for the withdrawal;

(F)        the corporate action number for the Offer allocated by Euroclear which can be found by viewing the relevant corporate action details in CREST; and

(G)       input with a standard delivery instruction priority of 80.

(ii)        Any such withdrawal will be conditional upon the Escrow Agent verifying that the withdrawal request is validly made. Accordingly, the Escrow Agent will on behalf of Goldway either reject the withdrawal by transmitting in CREST a receiving agent reject (AEAD) message or accept the withdrawal by transmitting in CREST a receiving agent accept (AEAN) message.

(iii)          MCM Shares in respect of which acceptances have been validly withdrawn may subsequently be re-assented to the Offer following one of the procedures described in of this Bidder's Statement at any time while the Offer remains open for acceptance.

(iv)          Any question as to the validity (including time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal will be determined by Goldway whose determination will be final and binding. None of Goldway, MCM, the Receiving Agent or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or will incur any liability for failure to do so.

(n)      General

(i)            For the purposes of this Bidder's Statement, the time of receipt of a TTE Instruction, an ESA Instruction or an Electronic Acceptance shall be the time at which the relevant instruction settles in CREST.

(ii)           Neither Goldway nor any person acting on behalf of Goldway, shall have any liability to any person for any loss or alleged loss arising from any decision as to the treatment of acceptances of the Offer or otherwise in connection therewith.

(iii)          If you are in any doubt as to the procedures for acceptance, please contact the UK Receiving Agent, Computershare Investor Services PLC by post at The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS13 8AE, United Kingdom or by telephone on +44 (0) 370 707 4040.
