PART I

INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

 

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Registration Statement on Form F-10 filed on January 14, 2013 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) by Alamos Gold Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia (“Alamos”).

The Registration Statement relates to the offer to purchase (the “Offer”) by Alamos for all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the “Common Shares”) of Aurizon Mines Ltd. (assuming full conversion of all outstanding convertible and exercisable securities for Common Shares), other than any Common Shares owned directly or indirectly by Alamos and its affiliates. The Offer is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Alamos’ Offer and Circular dated January 14, 2013 (the “Offer and Circular”), a copy of which was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(i) to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on January 14, 2013 by Alamos.

The information set forth in the Offer and Circular, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, including all schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in response to all items of information required to be included in, or covered by, the Registration Statement, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided herein.

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Registration Statement.

The section entitled “4. Conditions of the Offer” in the Offer and Circular is hereby amended to include the following paragraph after the first paragraph on page 12 of the Offer and Circular:

“On January 23, 2012, Aurizon issued a directors’ circular (the “Directors’ Circular”) in response to the Offer which recommended that Shareholders reject the Offer and not tender their Common Shares to the Offer. In response to the Offer, the Aurizon Board also adopted a shareholder rights plan (the “Shareholder Rights Plan”). Alamos does not deem condition (b) above to have been triggered by Aurizon’s rejection of the Offer pursuant to the Director’s Circular or by Aurizon’s adoption of the Shareholder Rights Plan.”

 

I-1


PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO

OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS OR OFFICERS.

Alamos Gold Inc. is subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Act”).

Under Section 160 of the Act, an individual who:

 

   

is or was a director or officer of the Registrant,

 

   

is or was a director or officer of another corporation (i) at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Registrant, or (ii) at the request of the Registrant, or

 

   

at the request of the Registrant, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity,

and includes, the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of that individual (collectively, an “eligible party”), may be indemnified by the Registrant against a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, a proceeding (an “eligible penalty”) in which, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the Registrant or an associated corporation, (a) the eligible party is or may be joined as a party, or (b) the eligible party is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding (“eligible proceeding”) to which the eligible party is or may be liable. Section 160 of the Act also permits the Registrant to pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party after the final disposition of the eligible proceeding.

Under Section 161 of the Act, the Registrant must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the eligible party in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party (a) has not been reimbursed for those expenses, and (b) is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of the proceeding or is substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of the proceeding.

Under Section 162 of the Act, the Registrant may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding; provided the Registrant must not make such payments unless it first receives from the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited by Section 163 of the Act, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.

Under Section 163 of the Act, the Registrant must not indemnify an eligible party against eligible penalties to which the eligible party is or may be liable or pay the expenses of an eligible party in respect of that proceeding under Sections 160, 161 or 162 of the Act, as the case may be, if any of the following circumstances apply:

 

   

if the indemnity or payment is made under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the agreement to indemnify or pay expenses was made, the Registrant was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;

 

   

if the indemnity or payment is made otherwise than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the Registrant is prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;

 

   

if, in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or the associated corporation, as the case may be; or

 

   

in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible party’s conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful.

If an eligible proceeding is brought against an eligible party by or on behalf of the Registrant or by or on behalf of an associated corporation, the Registrant must not either indemnify the eligible party against eligible penalties to which the eligible party is or may be liable in respect of the proceeding, or, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses of the eligible party under Sections 160, 161 or 162 of the Act in respect of the proceeding.

 

II-1


Under Section 164 of the Act, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may, on application of the Registrant or an eligible party, order the Registrant to indemnify the eligible party or to pay the eligible party’s expenses, despite Sections 160 to 163 of the Act.

The articles of a company may affect its power or obligation to give an indemnity or pay expenses. As indicated above, this is subject to the overriding power of the Supreme Court of British Columbia under Section 164 of the Act.

Under the articles of Alamos Gold Inc., subject to the provisions of the Act, the Registrant must indemnify a director, former director or alternate director of the Registrant and the heirs and legal personal representatives of all such persons against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Registrant must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Each director and alternate director is deemed to have contracted with the Registrant on the terms of the indemnity contained in the Registrant’s articles. The failure of a director, alternate director or officer of the Registrant to comply with the Act or the articles of the Registrant does not invalidate any indemnity to which such person is entitled under the Registrant’s articles.

Under the articles of Alamos Gold Inc., the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any eligible party against any liability incurred by such party as a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held an equivalent position.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the United States Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
