COMPLAINT
Plaintiff Taseko Mines Limited (“Taseko” or the “Company”), by its undersigned counsel, upon personal knowledge with respect to itself and its actions and otherwise on information and belief, alleges as follows:
I. Nature of the Action
1. This action seeks to remedy a false and misleading SEC filing submitted by hedge fund and other investors who have formed a group to mount a proxy contest against and gain control of Taseko’s current Board of Directors (“Board”).
2. Taseko is a Canadian-based mining company whose shares are traded on both the NYSE MKT and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
3. Defendants Raging River Capital LP, Raging River Capital GP LLC, Granite Creek Partners, LLC, Westwood Capital LLC, Paul M. Blythe Mining Associates Inc., Paul Blythe (“Blythe”), Nathan Milikowsky (“Milikowsky”), Mark Radzik (“Radzik”), Henry Park (“Park”) and Randy Davenport (“Davenport”) are collectively referred to herein as the “Raging River Defendants.” Together, the Raging River Defendants beneficially own approximately 5.14% of the Company’s common shares and certain of the Company’s 7.75% senior notes due 2019 (the “Notes”).
4. Because Taseko’s common shares are traded on the NYSE MKT, Taseko and its shareholders are subject to disclosure requirements under U.S. securities laws, including
requirements to file disclosure reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
5. In January 2016, the Raging River Defendants acquired more than 5% of Taseko’s common shares. Shortly after acquiring their shares, the Raging River Defendants exercised their rights under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”) to demand that Taseko convene a shareholder meeting to consider removing three current Taseko directors and adding four new directors nominated by the Raging River Defendants.
6. The disclosures that the Raging River Defendants have filed with the SEC as part of their activist campaign contained false and misleading statements, in violation of U.S. securities laws.
7. For example, the Raging River Defendants falsely represented in their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D1 that there were no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with any person with respect to the Company’s securities. However, the fact that Raging River Capital LP was formed as a special purpose vehicle in December 2015 to acquire Taseko common shares and commence an activist campaign against Taseko’s Board suggests otherwise. The various Raging River Defendants clearly have undisclosed contracts, arrangements, understandings and/or relationships concerning their campaign against Taseko’s Board, including, but not limited to, (i) Raging River Capital LP’s partnership agreements, (ii) agreements related to their acquisitions of Taseko common shares and (iii) arrangements with their nominees to Taseko’s Board.
8. The Raging River Defendants also failed to disclose that they beneficially own approximately $16 million aggregate principal amount of Taseko’s Notes, which were
1 A true and correct copy of the Raging River Defendants’ January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
acquired at a significant discount to their face value. As a beneficial owner of Taseko’s Notes, the interests of the Raging River Defendants are very different from those of Taseko’s shareholders.
9. Furthermore, the Raging River Defendants falsely reported that their acquisitions of more than 11.4 million Taseko common shares on January 5, 2016 were open market transactions, whereas they were privately-negotiated transactions at an off-market price, representing almost 30 times the average daily trading volume of Taseko shares on the NYSE MKT.
10. The securities laws are designed to ensure shareholders and the investing public have accurate information when they invest and when they vote their shares. The Raging River Defendants’ false and misleading disclosures are contrary to this public policy. Instead, they provide false and misleading information to Taseko’s shareholders in an unfair attempt to influence the upcoming shareholder vote on May 10, 2016.
11. Taseko, its shareholders and investors are entitled under the SEC’s rules to know (i) what contracts, arrangements, understandings and/or relationships exist with respect to Taseko’s common shares, (ii) that the Raging River Defendants beneficially own Taseko’s Notes, (iii) the Raging River Defendants’ intentions with respect to such Notes and (iv) the terms of the Raging River Defendants’ transactions involving Taseko’s common shares so that they may make informed investment and voting decisions.
12. Taseko brings this action for declaratory and injunctive relief requiring the Raging River Defendants to remedy their securities law violations and to correct their SEC filing so that other Taseko shareholders and the market generally will have accurate information in advance of the upcoming shareholder vote on May 10, 2016.
II. Jurisdiction and Venue
13. This action arises under § 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), 15 U.S.C. § 78m(d), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC.
14. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and § 27 of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78aa, as this action involves a federal question.
15. The Court has personal jurisdiction over the Raging River Defendants under the District of Columbia Long-Arm Statute, D.C. Code § 13-423(a)(1), because they transacted business in the District of Columbia by filing disclosures with the SEC and Taseko’s claims for relief arise from the Raging River Defendants’ filing.
16. Venue properly lies in this Court pursuant to § 27 of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78aa, and 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b), because the actions giving rise to this action—the Raging River Defendants’ false and misleading SEC filing—took place in this District.
III. The Parties
17. Taseko, which is a publicly traded Canadian corporation headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, is a mining company focused on acquiring, developing and operating large tonnage mineral deposits in North America. Taseko’s principal business activity is operating the Gibraltar copper and molybdenum mine in Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE MKT and the Toronto Stock Exchange, and the Company and its major shareholders are subject to SEC reporting requirements.
18. Defendant Raging River Capital LP, a Delaware limited partnership, was formed in December 2015 to acquire Taseko common shares and commence an activist campaign against Taseko’s Board.
19. Defendant Raging River Capital GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation, is the General Partner for Raging River Capital LP.
20. Defendant Granite Creek Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation, is a Managing Member of Raging River Capital GP LLC.
21. Defendant Westwood Capital LLC, a Connecticut limited liability corporation, is a Managing Member of Raging River Capital GP LLC.
22. Defendant Paul M. Blythe Mining Associates Inc., an Ontario corporation, is a Managing Member of Raging River Capital GP LLC.
23. Defendant Paul Blythe, a resident of Ontario, Canada, is the President of Paul M. Blythe Mining Associates Inc. and has been nominated by the other Raging River Defendants for a seat on Taseko’s Board.
24. Defendant Nathan Milikowsky, a resident of the state of Massachusetts, is a Managing Member of Raging River Capital GP LLC.
25. Defendant Mark Radzik, a resident of the state of Indiana, is the Managing Partner of Granite Creek Partners, LLC, Secretary of Raging River Capital LP and has been nominated by the other Raging River Defendants for a seat on Taseko’s Board.
26. Defendant Henry Park, a resident of the state of Connecticut, is the Chief Investment Officer and Principal of Westwood Capital LLC, and has been nominated by the other Raging River Defendants for a seat on Taseko’s Board.
27. Defendant Randy Davenport, a resident of the state of Arizona, has been nominated by the other Raging River Defendants for a seat on Taseko’s Board.
IV. Background
A. The Regulatory Scheme
28. Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act mandates that “any person” who becomes “directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of more than 5 per centum” of a class of securities of an issuing corporation must file a statement setting forth certain information with the SEC and send the statement to the issuer within 10 days after such acquisition. Among the information that must be provided is:
(E) information as to any contracts, arrangements, or understandings with any person with respect to any securities of the issuer, including but not limited to transfer of any of the securities, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guaranties of loans, guaranties against loss or guaranties of profits, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies, naming the persons with whom such contracts, arrangements, or understandings have been entered into, and giving the details thereof.
15 U.S.C. § 78m(d).
29. In addition, § 13(d)(2) of the Exchange Act states that “[i]f any material change occurs in the facts set forth in the statement filed with the Commission, an amendment shall be filed with the Commission, in accordance with such rules and regulations as the Commission may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors.” 15 U.S.C. § 78m(d)(2). 17 C.F.R. § 240.13d-2 requires an amendment to be filed promptly with the SEC disclosing any material change in a filed Schedule 13D.
30. Moreover, § 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act states that “when two or more persons act as a . . . group for the purpose of acquiring, holding, or disposing of securities of an issuer, such syndicate or group shall be deemed a ‘person’ for the purposes of this subsection.” 15 U.S.C. § 78m(d)(3). 17 C.F.R. § 240.13d-5(b)(1) further provides:
When two or more persons agree to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of an issuer, the group formed thereby shall be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership, for the purposes of sections 13(d) and (g) of the [Exchange] Act, as of the date of such agreement, of all equity securities of that issuer beneficially owned by any such persons.
31. The SEC has prescribed Schedule 13D as the official form for compliance with § 13(d) of the Exchange Act, which specifically requires, among other things, that the filer “[d]escribe any transactions in the class of securities reported on that were effected during the past sixty days or since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D (§ 240.13d-101), whichever is less.” 17 C.F.R. § 240.13d-101. “The description of a transaction . . . shall include, but not necessarily be limited . . . to where and how the transaction was effected.” Id.
32. Schedule 13D also requires that the filer “[d]escribe any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the [reporting persons] and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.” 17 C.F.R. § 240.13d-101. Reporting person, as that term is used in Schedule 13D, refers to the person for whom the Schedule 13D is filed, i.e., “each person required to sign the schedule itself.” Id.
B. The Raging River Defendants’ False and Misleading Statements
33. By filing a Schedule 13D on January 13, 2016, the Raging River Defendants became reporting persons as that term is used in Schedule 13D.
34. The Raging River Defendants failed to disclose the contracts, arrangements, understandings and/or relationships among them as it relates to Taseko’s securities, including its common shares, falsely disclosed that their purchases of Taseko common
shares were effected in the open market, failed to disclose that they have formed a group with at least one other Taseko shareholder and failed to disclose the contracts, arrangements, understandings and/or relationships with Davenport as a reporting person.
35. The Raging River Defendants also failed to disclose that they beneficially own approximately $16 million aggregate principal amount of Taseko’s Notes, which were acquired at a significant discount to their face value. As a beneficial owner of Taseko’s Notes, the interests of the Raging River Defendants are very different from those of Taseko’s shareholders. Under SEC rules, Taseko, its shareholders and investors are entitled to know that the Raging River Defendants beneficially own such securities and to know the Raging River Defendants’ intentions with respect to such securities so that they may make informed investment and voting decisions.
Misleading Disclosure Regarding Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings and/or Relationships among the Raging River Defendants
36. In their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D, the Raging River Defendants state: “The Reporting Persons do not have any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any person with respect to the securities of the Issuer.” This statement is false and misleading.
37. Schedule 13D imposes a dual-disclosure requirement. Not only must the reporting persons disclose whether there are contracts, arrangements, understandings and/or relationships between the reporting persons and any other person, they must disclose any contracts, arrangements, understandings and/or relationships among them with respect to the securities of the issuer. 17 C.F.R. § 240.13d-101.
38. The Raging River Defendants failed to disclose any contracts, arrangements, understandings and/or relationships among themselves, which undoubtedly exist
in light of (1) the fact that Raging River Capital LP was specifically formed by the other Raging River Defendants as a vehicle to acquire Taseko shares, and (2) their joint efforts to replace Taseko’s directors with their own nominees.
False Disclosure Regarding Purchase of Taseko Common Shares
39. In their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D, the Raging River Defendants reported that their purchase of Taseko common shares on January 5, 2016 was “effected in the open market.” This statement is false and misleading.
40. Schedule 13D requires the filer to “[d]escribe any transactions in the class of securities reported on that were effected during the past sixty days or since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D . . . and how the transaction was effected.” 17 C.F.R. § 240.13d-101 (emphasis added).
41. In or about November 2015, Radzik and Park, who were acting on behalf of the Raging River Defendants, began negotiations with certain Taseko shareholders about purchasing all or part of said shareholders’ Taseko common shares. By December 2015, Radzik, Park and Davenport had agreements with certain Taseko shareholders to purchase large blocks of the Company’s common shares and engaged Cowen & Company to execute the transactions. These privately-negotiated transactions were completed on January 5, 2016 at an off-market price.
42. Contrary to what the Raging River Defendants stated in their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D, their acquisitions of Taseko common shares were not effected in open market transactions.
Undisclosed Group with Other Taseko Shareholders
43. Subsequent to the filing of their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D, the Raging River Defendants advised research analysts that they have the support of shareholders
holding 25% of Taseko common shares to oust three incumbent Taseko directors and to elect Blythe, Davenport, Park and Radzik to Taseko’s Board.
44. Under 17 C.F.R. 240.13d-5(b)(1), when two or more persons agree to act as a group for the purpose of voting the securities of an issuer, such group is deemed a person under § 13(d) and subject to the disclosure requirements set forth in § 13(d)(1), including the requirement to disclose any contracts, arrangements or understandings.
45. The Raging River Defendants failed to disclose that they have formed a group with certain other Taseko shareholders, as required by §§ 13(d)(1)(E) and 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. They failed to disclose the group in order to circumvent the Securities Act (British Columbia), other Canadian provincial securities acts and the rules promulgated thereunder, which establish an early warning system to provide the market with immediate notice when a person or company acquires ownership of 10% or more of the voting securities of an issuer.
46. The Company, Taseko shareholders and the market are entitled to know that the Raging River Defendants have formed a group with other Taseko shareholders. Their failure to disclose this information shows that either their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D was false or misleading when filed or they have improperly failed to update that Schedule 13D to disclose the formation of this group. 15 U.S.C. § 78m(d)(2); 17 C.F.R. § 240.13d-2.
Misleading Disclosure Regarding Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings and/or Relationships between the Raging River Defendants and Randy Davenport
47. The Raging River Defendants’ Schedule 13D is also false and misleading because they failed to describe their arrangements with Davenport, which relate to Davenport’s role in acquiring Taseko common shares and Davenport serving as one of the Raging River Defendants’ nominees to Taseko’s Board.
48. As discussed above, in their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D, the Raging River Defendants state: “The Reporting Persons do not have any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any person with respect to the securities of the Issuer.” This statement is false and misleading as it fails to disclose the arrangement between Davenport and the other Raging River Defendants.
49. Davenport’s agreement to serve as one of the Raging River Defendants’ nominees to Taseko’s Board and his role in acquiring Taseko common shares are evidence of arrangements between Davenport and the other Raging River Defendants.
50. In violation of § 13(d)(1)(E) of the Exchange Act, the Raging River Defendants failed to disclose their arrangements with Davenport. As a result, their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D is false and misleading.
C. Failure of Davenport to File a Schedule 13D or Join the Raging River Defendants’ Schedule 13D as a Reporting Person
51. Section 13(d)(1) of the Exchange Act requires any person acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 5% of an equity security registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file a Schedule 13D as a reporting person. 17 C.F.R. § 240.13d-5(b)(1) further states that when two or more persons agree to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of such a security, the group formed thereby shall be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of all such securities beneficially owned by such persons.
52. In December 2015, Davenport acted with Park and Radzik (who, together with Blythe, have all been nominated by the Raging River Defendants for seats on Taseko’s Board) to acquire Taseko common shares from certain other shareholders. Specifically, Davenport was involved in negotiating the key terms of the transactions with said other
shareholders, including, but not limited to, the price per share and the number of shares to be acquired.
53. Given Davenport’s role in acquiring Taseko common shares, under § 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, Davenport is a beneficial owner of the 11.4 million Taseko common shares held by the Raging River Defendants. As such, he was required to file a Schedule 13D or join the Raging River Defendants’ January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D as a reporting person.
54. Davenport failed to file a Schedule 13D or join the Raging River Defendants’ January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D as a reporting person, and his failure to do so violates §13(d) of the Exchange Act. Davenport should be required to join the Raging River Defendants’ Schedule 13D so that Taseko, its shareholders and the market are provided with accurate and complete information in advance of the May 10, 2016 shareholder meeting.
COUNT I
(Violation of § 13(d) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rules promulgated thereunder based on Schedule 13D against the Raging River Defendants)
55. Taseko repeats and realleges, as if fully set forth herein, the allegations of Paragraphs 1 through 54 above.
56. The Raging River Defendants’ January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D is materially false and misleading in that they misstate and/or omit material information that must be disclosed.
57. By reason of the foregoing, the Raging River Defendants violated § 13(d) of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78m(d), and the rules promulgated thereunder.
58. The Raging River Defendants are obligated to correct the foregoing material misstatements and omissions of material facts so that Taseko shareholders have the complete and accurate information to which they are entitled under § 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
59. Taseko and its shareholders will be irreparably harmed absent such a correction and appropriate equitable relief: (a) requiring the Raging River Defendants to file an amended Schedule 13D correcting the misstatements and omissions in their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D; and (b) barring the Raging River Defendants from voting or directing the vote of Taseko common shares or acquiring additional beneficial ownership of Taseko common shares until 10 days after they have filed an amended Schedule 13D correcting the misstatements and omissions in their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D.
60. Taseko has no adequate remedy at law.
61. This claim is brought within the applicable statute of limitations.
COUNT II
(Violation of § 13(d) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rules promulgated thereunder based on Schedule 13D against Davenport)
62. Taseko repeats and realleges, as if fully set forth herein, the allegations of Paragraphs 1 through 54 above.
63. Davenport is a beneficial owner of the Taseko common shares held by the Raging River Defendants and as such, is required to file a Schedule 13D or join the Raging River Defendants’ January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D as a reporting person. Davenport has failed to do either.
64. By reason of the foregoing, Davenport violated § 13(d) of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78m(d), and the rules promulgated thereunder.
65. Davenport is obligated to file a Schedule 13D or join the Raging River Defendants’ amended Schedule 13D as a reporting person so that Taseko shareholders have the complete and accurate information to which they are entitled under § 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
66. Taseko and its shareholders will be irreparably harmed absent such appropriate equitable relief requiring Davenport to file a Schedule 13D or join the Raging River Defendants’ amended Schedule 13D as a reporting person.
67. Taseko has no adequate remedy at law.
68. This claim is brought within the applicable statute of limitations.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Taseko demands judgment against the Raging River Defendants, including declaratory and injunctive relief, as follows:
1. Declaring that the Raging River Defendants’ January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D violates § 13(d) of the Exchange Act;
2. Requiring the Raging River Defendants to file an amended Schedule 13D correcting the misstatements and omissions in their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D;
3. Barring the Raging River Defendants from voting or directing the vote of Taseko common shares or acquiring additional beneficial ownership of Taseko common shares until 10 days after they have filed an amended Schedule 13D correcting the misstatements and omissions in their January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D;
4. Declaring that Davenport’s failure to file a Schedule 13D or to join as a reporting person in the Raging River Defendants’ January 13, 2016 Schedule 13D violates § 13(d) of the Exchange Act;
5. Requiring Davenport to file a Schedule 13D or join the Raging River Defendants’ amended Schedule 13D as a reporting person; and
6. Granting Taseko such further relief as the Court deems just and proper.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The information set forth or incorporated in Items 3 and 6 hereof are incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons initially acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Shares of the Issuer reported herein for investment purposes because it believed the Common Shares represented an attractive investment opportunity.

If elected, the Concerned Shareholder Nominees will (i) align the board of directors of the Issuer’s (the “Board”) interest with those of the Issuers shareholders, including performing a strategic review, assessing management compensation and evaluating the relationship between Taseko and Hunter Dickinson going forward; (ii) increase shareholder value by working together with the Issuer’s stakeholders to evaluate opportunities to reduce liabilities, divest non-core assets and move projects forward; and (iii) focus on managing the Issuer’s balance sheet debt and position the Issuer to take advantage of the rebound in copper prices.
The Reporting Persons intend to discuss such matters identified above not only with Management and the Board, but also with other shareholders of the Issuer and third parties and may take other steps to bring about changes to increase shareholder value, including but not limited to changes involving Board composition, as well as pursue other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis.
