This Amendment No. 3 (Amendment No. 3) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) by the Reporting Persons identified herein on January 13, 2016 (as amended and restated on March 9, 2016 and March 28, 2016, respectively) with respect to the common shares (Common Shares), of Taseko Mines Ltd. (the Issuer). On February 26, 2016, the Issuer filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia (the Complaint) alleging that the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 13, 2016 did not contain all required information. A copy of the Complaint was filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Schedule by the amendment on March 9, 2016. The Reporting Persons dispute that the January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D did not contain all required information. Any supplemental information provided in response to the Issuers Complaint is provided solely to moot the Issuers claims at the outset and the provision of such information does not constitute an admission or acknowledgement that such information was required to be included in the January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D, which the Reporting Persons expressly deny.

 

On March 21, 2016 the Issuer filed an Amended Complaint in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia (the Amended Complaint) alleging that the amended and restated Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 9, 2016 did not contain all required information. A copy of the Amended Complaint was filed as Exhibit 99.10 to the March 28, 2016 amended and supplemented 13D/A. The Reporting Persons dispute that the January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D, the March 9, 2016 amended and restated Schedule 13D/A or the March 28, 2016 amended and supplemented Schedule 13D/A did not contain all required information.

 

On April 11, 2016, the Issuer filed a Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Opposition to Defendants Motion to Dismiss (the Response Brief) in the Federal District Court.  In the Response Brief, the Issuer abandoned several of its previous claims, but continued to assert that the Reporting Persons have not disclosed all required information.

 

Any supplemental information provided in response to the Issuers Complaint or Amended Complaint is provided solely to moot the Issuers claims at the outset and the provision of such information does not constitute an admission or acknowledgement that such information was required to be included in the January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D, the March 9, 2016 amended and restated Schedule 13D/A or the March 28, 2016 amended and supplemented Schedule 13D/A, which the Reporting Persons expressly deny.

 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 3 amends Items 3 and 7 as set forth below.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the March 28, 2016 amended and restated Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following after the last paragraph:

 

On April 11, 2016 the Issuer filed a Response Brief in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia. The Response Brief alleges that the disclosure provided in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D was not sufficient and submits that the Reporting Persons must disclose the specific amounts obtained from each limited partner in Raging River Capital LP towards the purchase of Taseko common shares. Without conceding that any such disclosure is required, the following limited partners contributed the following amounts to Raging River Capital LP for the purposes of purchasing the Common Shares and the Notes: (i) System Harbour Limited ($5,000,000); (ii) Nathan Milikowsky ($2,000,000); (iii) Daniel Milikowsky ($1,000,000); (iv) Daniel Milikowsky Family Holdings, LLC ($1,000,000); (v) Carroll Avenue Partners LLC ($1,000,000); (vi) Barry Holdings LLC ($650,000); (vii) Lee Partners ($50,000); (viii) Blythe Mining ($750,000); (ix) RL Davenport Resources, Inc. ($250,000); (x) Foundation Capital Management, LLC ($1,000,000); (xi) RC LLC ($12,700); (xii) Westood (with an initial investment as a founding limited partner of $1.00); and (xiii) Granite (with an initial investment as a founding limited partner of $1.00). A chart listing the capital contributions of each the limited partners to Raging River has been filed herewith as Exhibit 99.11 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Response Brief also asserts that the disclosure provided in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D was not sufficient and submits that the Reporting Persons must disclose who or what entity contributed towards the purchase of the Taseko Notes and the specific amounts obtained by Raging River Capital LP for the purchase of the Taseko Notes. Without conceding that any such disclosure is required, reference is made to the members/interest holders and their capital contributions listed on page 26 of Exhibit 99.7 of the Schedule 13D for all amounts contributed to RRC 2 LLC for the purposes of purchasing the Additional Notes.

 

The Response Brief also asserts that the Reporting Persons have not sufficiently disclosed the purpose of their investment in the Notes.  Without conceding that any additional disclosure is required, the Reporting Persons state that they acquired the Notes for investment purposes because they believed the Notes represented an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons also intend to pursue a concerned shareholder campaign in respect of the Issuer. The details and objectives of this campaign were previously disclosed in the January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D, the March 9, 2016 amended and restated Schedule 13D/A, and the March 28, 2016 amended and supplemented 13D/A.
