Admiralty Resources NL 2021 AGM

RESOLUTION 2: ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO RE-ELECT BIN LI AS A DIRECTOR

Resolution 2 deals with the re-election as a director of Mr Bin Li.

Under Listing Rule 14.4, a director of the Company must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting of the Company following the director’s appointment or for a period greater than 3 years (whichever is the longer).

Under clause 5.3(c)(i) of the Company’s Constitution one third, or the number nearest to one third if not divisible by three, of the current directors must retire by rotation at each annual general meeting. Under clause 5.3(c)(ii) of the Company’s Constitution, the directors to retire at any annual general meeting must be those who have been longest in office since their last election, but as between directors who were appointed on the same day, those to retire will, unless they agree otherwise, be determined by drawing lots.

Accordingly, Mr Bin Li will retire at this Annual General Meeting of the Company and, being eligible and having consented to act, presents himself for re-election.

Mr Bin Li is a senior mining engineer with over 25 years’ experience in metallurgy and a graduate of mining and metallurgy from the Jiang Xi Metallurgy University and has brought this relevant technical experience with him to the Board.

Mr Bin Li’s appointments include Vice-Director of the Yang Shan iron mine and Mine Director at Shuang Qi Hill where he was in charge of the establishment of the metallurgical plant and gold mine in the Fu Jian Province. Other current appointments include his Chairmanship of Wan Qi Technology Limited and Xia Men Si Mai Da Investment Limited.

Directors Recommendation

The directors (excluding Mr Bin Li) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Bin Li as a director of the Company.

RESOLUTION 3 & 4: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR SHARE ISSUES

Resolutions 3 and 4 seek to ratify prior issues of securities by the Company where the securities were issued without shareholder approval under the Company’s capacity to issue securities which amount to no more than 15% of the Company’s issued capital in any 12-month period per ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of the ratifications proposed by Resolutions 3 and 4 is to provide subsequent approval for those issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 which ‘refreshes’ the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

The Company seeks this approval to allow the Company to have the flexibility to issue further securities in the Company should the need arise such as for the Company to undertake an acquisition using it securities as consideration, to conduct a capital raising, or for other purposes.

The Company provides the following information with respect to each of Resolutions 3 and 4 pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

RESOLUTION 5: SPECIAL RESOLUTION TO APPROVE ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

Resolution 5 is a special resolution for the approval of an additional 10% placement capacity for the Company to issue securities without shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. This provides the Company with a higher level of flexibility to undertake capital raisings, to complete acquisitions, or other corporate actions involving the issue of equity securities by the Company.

(a) Regulatory Framework

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, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A allows a company to seek shareholder approval at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue an additional 10% of its equity securities in the same class as an existing quoted class of securities. If approved, the issuance capacity is available for twelve-months following the annual general meeting at which the approval was obtained. 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.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to utilise both the 10% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in addition to the standard 15% capacity available to all entities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will only be able to use the 15% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is passed then the Company, within 12 months after shareholder approval, may issue up to an additional 1-% of the Company’s issued capital as fully paid ordinary shares calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which is as follows:

(A x D) – E

A = the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or date of agreement to issue:

(i) plus the number fully paid ordinary securities issued in the last 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

Page 8 of 10

Admiralty Resources NL 2021 AGM

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid within the last 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4 (this does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the equity’s 15% capacity without shareholder approval);

  • (iv) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities 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 holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(b) Compliance Information

In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the Company provides the following information with respect to Resolution 5:

  • (i) The minimum price at which equity securities may be issued under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A capacity will be calculated in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 which requires that the issue price be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the same class as the security being issued, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • a. the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or If the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph a, the date on which the securities are issued.

  • (ii) If Resolution 5 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, existing shareholders economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted as show in the table below. There is a risk that:

  • a. the market price for the Company’s equity securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue of the equity securities than on the date of this approval under rule 7.1A; and

  • b. 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;

  • which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

  • (iii) If Resolution 5 is approved by shareholders, the approval to issue securities under this capacity per ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will cease upon the earlier of:

  • a. The date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is gained, being 28 January 2023; or

  • b. The date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2. or 11.2, being a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities, or the disposal of a main undertaking.

  • (iv) The Company may seek to issue securities under this capacity for cash consideration only. As the Company continues to pursue growth opportunities and expand its global footprint, the Company may seek to raise capital using this additional capacity. Funds raised may be applied towards working capital, for funding acquisitions or investments, or other opportunities identified by the Directors. The Company will ensure it remains compliant with its disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon the issue of any securities under this capacity.

  • (v) The allocation policy of the Company will be dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue of securities under this capacity. The identity of any allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to various factors including without limitation:

  • a. the alternate 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;

  • b. the effect of the issue of the securities on the control of the Company;

  • c. the financial situation of the Company; and

  • d. advice from corporate, financial and broker advisers (as may be applicable from time to time).

  • (vi) As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not identified any allottees proposed to be offered securities under this placement capacity but may include new or existing investors who are not Related Parties or Associates of Related Parties of the Company. In the event that the 10% capacity is utilised for the purpose of conducting an acquisition, the allottees will be the vendors (or their nominees) of the acquisition target. At present, no such acquisition target has been definitively identified by the Company.

  • (vii) In the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue any equity securities under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2.

The following table sets out the possible dilution of existing shareholders of the Company on the basis of the market price of the Company’s securities of $0.014 on 12 December 2021 and on the issued capital of the Company at 12 December 2021 as variable “A” per Listing Rule 7.1A.

The above table makes the following assumptions:

  • (i) All securities have been issued under the 10% capacity and the Company has issued the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% capacity.

  • (ii) The dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.

  • (iii) The table only shows the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and does not consider the 15% capacity the Company has under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 nor the Company’s ability to issue securities without shareholder approval under the exceptions in the ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

Directors Recommendation on Resolutions 3 to 5

The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 to 5 and the Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of these Resolutions.

Resolutions 3 and 4 are seeking the ratification of the issue of the securities which has already been completed, and accordingly the passing of these resolutions benefits the Company by ‘refreshing’ its capacity to issue further securities without shareholder approval. The Directors may use this capacity from time to time to conduct acquisitions, raise capital, or for other purposes which build shareholder value.

Resolution 5 seeks approval for an additional 10% placement capacity which can be used for issuing quoted securities for cash consideration and provides further flexibility to the Company should an opportunity arise requiring the issue of new quoted securities.

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM

STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.

If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM

The form must be signed as follows: Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.

Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

STEP 4 LODGEMENT

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 2:00 pm (Sydney Time) on Wednesday, 26 January 2022. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
