EARLY WARNING REPORT FILED PURSUANT TO NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 62-103 Name and address of the offeror: Cliffs Greene B.V. 2624 ES Delft Martinus Nijhofflaan 2 Netherlands 2. Designation and number or principal amount of securities and the offeror’s securityholding percentage in the class of securities of which the offeror acquired ownership or control in the transaction or occurrence giving rise to the obligation to file the news release, and whether it was ownership or control that was acquired in those circumstances:
On March 16, 2009, Cliffs Greene B.V. ("Cliffs Greene") acquired, by way of private placement (the "Private Placement"), the following securities issued from treasury by KWG Resources Inc. ("KWG"): (i) 50,448,987 units of KWG (each, a "Unit"), each Unit comprising one common share of KWG (each a "Common Share") and approximately 0.44 of a Common Share purchase warrant of KWG (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), such that on an aggregate basis Cliffs Greene acquired 50,448,987 Common Shares of KWG, and 22,224,784 Warrants of KWG and (ii) a non-interest bearing convertible debenture of KWG in the principal amount of US$1,033,398 maturing on April 16, 2009 (the "Debenture") (the securities referred to in (i) and (ii) collectively, the "Purchased Securities"). One Warrant becomes exercisable for every five Common Shares issued pursuant to outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase Common Shares (the "Outstanding Warrants") as at January 20, 2009, and entitles Cliffs Greene to acquire one Common Share at a price of US$0.05, such price to remain in effect until March 16, 2010 and thereafter at a price of US$0.10 (subject to the undertaking of KWG to reduce such price to US$0.05 upon regulatory approval), with all Warrants expiring by March 16, 2014 at the latest. Subject to obtaining approval of the shareholders of KWG, the Debenture will automatically convert into Units resulting in a further issuance to Cliffs Greene of 21,135,069 Common Shares and 9,310,839 Warrants, and in the event that such conditions have not been met before April 16, 2009, the Debenture is required to be repaid.
The 50,448,987 Common Shares acquired by Cliffs Greene represent 14.9% of the total outstanding KWG Common Shares. Upon the conversion of the Debenture, the additional 21,135,069 Common Shares into which the Debenture is convertible, together with the 50,448,987 Common Shares already held, will increase Cliffs Greene’s aggregate percentage holding of Common Shares to 19.9% for a total of 71,584,056 Common Shares. The acquisition of Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants (whether the Warrants comprised in the Units or the Warrants underlying the Debenture) will not increase Cliffs Greene’s percentage holding of Common Shares in KWG beyond 19.9%, such Warrants having been issued for anti-dilutive purposes.
