The Directors recommend that shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

1. Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act 2001 requires the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report for the past financial year to be tabled before the Annual General Meeting, and the Company’s Constitution provides for such reports to be received and considered at that meeting. Neither the Corporations Act 2001 nor the Company’s Constitution requires a vote of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on such Reports. The Annual General Meeting provides a forum for shareholders to ask questions and make comments on the Company’s reports and accounts and on the business and operations of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012.
In addition, shareholders may, at the meeting, ask questions of the auditor in relation to the following matters:

the conduct of the audit;
-
the content of the auditor’s report;
-
the accounting policies adopted by the Company for the preparation of the financial statements; and
-
the auditor’s independence in relation to the above items.
Shareholders may view the Company’s Annual Financial Report on the Company’s website www.australianbauxite.com.au
2. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Directors’ Remuneration Report
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to a vote at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s year 2012 Annual Report and is also available from the Company’s website www.australianbauxite.com.au.
The Remuneration Report:
-
describes the policies behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the link between the remuneration of executives and the Company’s performance;
-
sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for each director and for certain members of the senior management team; and
-
explains the difference between the bases for remunerating non-executive directors and senior executives, including the Chief Executive Officer.
If the Company’s Remuneration Report resolution receives ‘NO’ votes of 25% or more of the votes cast at the meeting, the Company’s subsequent remuneration report will include a report on actions taken by the Board in the Company’s next annual report.
The Board will take the outcome of the vote, even if it received a less than 25% ‘NO’ vote into consideration when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policy. A ‘NO’ vote of 25% or more was not received at the Company’s 2012 Annual General Meeting.
3. Election of Directors
-
a) Resolution 2 – Election of Mr Ken Boundy as a Director

Article 49.1.1 of the Company’s Constitution states that the Directors may at any time appoint a person to be a Director and Directors so appointed hold their office until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company whereby they are eligible for election.

Being eligible, Mr. Wei Huang offers himself for re-election.
4. Ratification of Previous Share Issue
Resolution 4: approve the issue of 6.5 million shares February 2013
Resolution 4 seeks shareholder ratification of the issue of 6,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.25 per share pursuant to a private placement to sophisticated and professional investors made on 21 February 2013.
The purpose of the private placement was to raise funds primarily to accelerate its drilling and development programs and to provide additional working capital.
Subject to certain exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities in any 12 months period which amount to more than 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that period without shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If subsequent approval to the private placement is provided by shareholders, it will “refresh” the Company’s ability to issue shares up to the 15% limit without the need for shareholder approval.
The Company seeks shareholder ratification of the issue of shares under the private placement so that the Company will have flexibility to issue further securities should the need or opportunity arise.
In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to shareholders to allow them to assess Resolution 4:
-
a) a total number of 6,500,000 shares were allotted and issued.
-
b) the shares were issued at an issue price of $0.25 per share.
-
c) the private placement was an “excluded offer” to sophisticated investors determined in accordance with Section 708 of the Corporation Act . The shares were placed with clients of State One Stockbroking Limited as lead manager with Calibre Investments, licensed securities dealers.
-
d) none of the allottees are related parties of the Company.
-
e) the shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.
-
f) funds raised by the issue of shares pursuant to the private placement have been and will be primarily used to accelerate its drilling and development programs and to provide additional working capital.
-
g) a Voting Exclusion Statement has been included for the purpose of Resolution 4.
5. Resolution 5 –Special Resolution to Approve an Additional 10% Placement Facility
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing equity securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any twelve month period without obtaining shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions).
However, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, a company can seek shareholder approval to allow up to an additional 10% capacity to issue the same class as existing quoted class of securities over a twelve month period after an annual general meeting.
An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The Company has not previously sought approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
If Resolution 5 is approved as a special resolution then the Company, within 12 months after shareholder approval, may issue an additional 10% equity securities calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which is as follows:
Australian Bauxite Limited Annual General Meeting 27 May 2013
( A x D ) – E where
-
A = the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:
-
a) plus the number fully paid ordinary shares issued in the last 12 months under an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
b) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid within the last 12 months;
-
c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 (this does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the equity’s 15% capacity without shareholder approval);
-
d) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
D = 10%
- E = the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
The following information is provided to shareholders for the purposes of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.3A:
-
a) the minimum price at which equity securities can be issued will be calculated in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 which states the issue price of each equity security must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for equity securities in that class calculated over the 15 days trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the equity securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.
-
b) if Resolution 5 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, existing shareholders voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below under point c). There is a risk that:
-
the market price for the Company’s equity securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the equity securities than on the date of this approval under rule 7.1A; and
-
the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date or the equity securities are issued as part of the acquisition of a new asset;
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.
-
c) As at the date of this Notice, the Company would have capacity to issue:
-
17,056,674 ordinary shares on the basis that Resolution 4 is approved pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1; or
- 9,581,674 ordinary shares, if Resolution 4 is not approved pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
11,371,116 shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A on the basis that Resolution 4 is approved.
-
10,721,116 shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, if resolution 4 is not approved.
-
d) the below table shows examples of possible dilution of existing shareholders, on the basis of the market price of $0.25 per share on 28 February 2013 and the number of fully-paid ordinary shares on issue of 107,211,160 pursuant to the definition of variable “A” under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;

This table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
the table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
e) shareholder approval of the additional 10% as per ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained. This approval will cease on the earlier to occur of:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is gained; or
-
the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2(disposal of main undertaking).
-
-
f) the Company may seek to issue the equity securities for the following purposes:
-
non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
cash consideration. As disclosed in recent ASX announcements and reports, the company is actively pursuing further growth opportunities in Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania. Any funds raised using this additional 10% capacity may be used to grow the business and / or additional working capital to fund these growth opportunities and more specifically funding the exploration and development of those projects not funded pursuant to the funding arrangements entered into with Xinfa as advised to the market on 4 April 2013. The Company continues to explore in areas not included in these Xinfa arrangements and funds raised through this facility will be directed in these areas in New South Wales and Queensland.
-
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A (4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities.
Australian Bauxite Limited Annual General Meeting 27 May 2013
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility.
The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including, but not limited to, the following:
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broker advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under this facility have not been determined as at the date of this notice but may include new or existing shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.
-
g) the Company has not previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for the purpose of Resolution 5.
Voting Information:
Voting Entitlement at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001.
For the purpose of determining a person's entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting, a person will be recognised as a member of the Company and the holder of shares if that person is registered as a holder of those shares at 3.00pm Sydney time on 25 May 2013, being the second day prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting.
Votes of Members
On a show of hands, each member present in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a body corporate, by a representative) at the Annual General Meeting shall have one vote.
On a poll, every member present in person or by attorney or by proxy (or, in the case of a body corporate, by a representative) shall have one vote for each share held provided that all shares are fully paid.
Voting
Please note that for a resolution to be passed, except where otherwise indicated, a simple majority of votes from shareholders attending in person or voting by proxy is required.
Amendments to proxy voting
Shareholders are advised that the Federal government has introduced the Corporations Amendment (improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Cth) (the CA Act ), which came into effect on 1 July 2011. The CA Act introduced new prohibitions on Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties from voting their shares (or voting undirected proxies) on, amongst other things, remuneration matters.
However, the chair of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (ie. a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted), provided the shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given informed consent, in the form of an express voting direction to the chair to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel ( Informed Consent ).
In light of these legislative requirements, the Company recommends that shareholders consider the following options to ensure the validity of their votes:
-
a) that shareholders direct proxies on a remuneration related resolution instead of leaving them undirected; or
-
b) that shareholders nominate a proxy who is not a member of Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties to vote on a remuneration related resolution; or
-
c) that shareholders who wish to vest their undirected proxies in the chair on a remuneration related resolution ensure that they follow instructions provided on the proxy form in order to provide Informed Consent.
