Notice of Meeting for Approval of the Proposed Transaction with BBIG 30 January 2020 ASX ANNOUNCEMENT Notice of Meeting for approval of the Proposed Transaction with BBIG Flinders Mines Limited (ASX:FMS) (Flinders) is pleased to announce the release of the attached notice of meeting, including an explanatory memorandum and independent expert's report (Notice of Meeting) in respect of an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to consider the proposed transaction with BBI Group Pty Ltd (BBIG) to form an incorporated joint venture for the development of Flinders' Pilbara Iron Ore Project (PIOP), as announced on 28 November 2019 (Proposed Transaction). The Proposed Transaction represents the outcome of extensive commercial negotiations conducted by the Company’s independent PIOP Infrastructure Committee with BBIG to provide an infrastructure solution, facilitate the development of the PIOP and provide a pathway to market. Vote in favour of the Proposed Transaction The Independent Flinders Directors (Neil Warburton, The Hon. Cheryl Edwardes AM and James Gurry) unanimously recommend that Flinders shareholders vote in favour of the Proposed Transaction in the absence of a superior proposal. The Independent Flinders Directors appointed Grant Samuel as independent expert to consider and provide an opinion on the Proposed Transaction. The independent expert has concluded that the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to non-associated Flinders shareholders, i.e. those shareholders other than TIO (NZ) Pty Ltd (TIO), Flinders’ largest shareholder and also a shareholder of BBIG. TIO will also be excluded from voting in favour of the Proposed Transaction. Ms Edwardes, Deputy Chair and Chair of Flinders’ PIOP Infrastructure Committee, said: “I am very pleased with the outcome of the negotiations with BBIG. I genuinely believe this is a very attractive deal for all shareholders. This puts us in a position where we can go mining and share in the potential upside of a major mining development.” Mr Gurry said: “I have scrutinised this deal with a firm eye on what is in the best interests of the minority shareholders. I believe this is a very good outcome for minorities, delivering the only feasible and realistic opportunity to go mining within an industry standard JV structure for introducing a larger well capitalised partner. The series of governance protocols in place to protect Flinders and its minority shareholders also provides reassurance. I think the transaction is fair based on the monetary value of what BBIG needs to contribute on our behalf and the fact Flinders shareholders can see this developed without having to provide their own project funding, barring limited circumstances.” Extraordinary General Meeting The EGM to consider the Proposed Transaction will be held at 10:00am WST on Tuesday, 3 March 2020 at the Theatrette Room, Level 2, QV1 Building, 250 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000. All eligible Flinders shareholders are encouraged to vote by completing and lodging the proxy form that accompanies the Notice of Meeting or alternatively by attending and voting at the EGM in person. The proxy form will be included in the Notice of Meeting despatched to shareholders via their nominated communication means. For shareholders wishing to complete a proxy form online through InvestorVote, this site will be live from 2.00pm WST today, 30 January 2020.
