NOTES
Definitions
Terms which are used in this Notice and which are defined in Section 5 of the Explanatory Memorandum have the meanings ascribed to them therein.
Note
If you have recently changed your address or if there is any error in the name and address used for this notice please notify the Company Secretary. In the case of a corporation, notification is to be signed by a director or company secretary.
Proxies
A Shareholder who is entitled to vote at this Meeting has a right to appoint a proxy and should use the proxy form enclosed with this notice. The proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company and can be an individual or a body corporate.
A body corporate appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy may appoint a representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise as a proxy at the Meeting. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of this appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.
A Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, section 249X of the Corporations Act will take effect so that each proxy may exercise half of the votes (ignoring fractions).
A proxy’s authority to speak and vote for a Shareholder at the meeting is suspended if the Shareholder is present at the meeting.
The proxy form must be signed and dated by the Shareholder or the Shareholder’s attorney. Joint Shareholders must each sign.
Pursuant to regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations, the Board has determined that the shareholding of each Shareholder for the purposes of ascertaining the voting entitlements for the Meeting will be as it appears in the share register at 4.00pm (WST) on 28 November 2017.
Bodies Corporate
A body corporate may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise at meetings of a company’s shareholders. The appointment may be a standing one.
Unless the appointment states otherwise, the representative may exercise all of the powers that the appointing body could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a resolution.
The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.
Voting by proxy
Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act took effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:
-
if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and
-
any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the chairman of the meeting, who must vote the proxies as directed.
If the proxy has two or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on a resolution, the proxy must not vote on that resolution on a show of hands.
To be valid, your proxy form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be received at an address given below by 10.00am (WST) on 28 November 2017. Any proxy form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of a Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Bryah Resources Limited to be held at 85 Havelock Street, West Perth, WA, 6005 at 10.00am (WST) on Thursday, 30 November 2017. This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice and the reasons for the Resolutions proposed. Certain terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Section 5.
1. FINANCIAL AND OTHER REPORTS
As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act, the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2017 and the accompanying Directors’ Report, Directors’ Declaration and Auditor’s Report will be laid before the Meeting.
Neither the Corporations Act nor the Company’s Constitution requires a vote on the reports. However, Shareholders will have an opportunity to ask questions about the report at the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions about the auditor’s report and audit conduct. Written questions may be submitted 5 business days prior to the Meeting addressed to the Chairman and sent to the Company’s registered office, about the management of the Company, or addressed to the Company’s auditor and sent to the Company’s registered office about audit conduct, accounting policies used by the Company and auditor independence. General questions about the management of the Company will also be taken.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
As required by the Corporations Act, the Board is presenting the Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by a non-binding vote. The Remuneration Report contains:
-
information about Board Policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of the Company’s Directors and senior executives;
-
a description of the relationship between remuneration policy and the Company’s performance;
-
a summary of performance conditions, including a summary of why they were chosen and how performance is measured against them; and
-
remuneration details for each executive and non-executive Director, and Key Management Personnel.
The Remuneration Report, which is part of the 2017 Annual Report, has been sent to Shareholders (except those who have made an election not to receive the Annual Report). Copies of the 2017 Annual Report are available by contacting the Company’s Share Registry or visiting the Company’s web site.
The Meeting presents an opportunity to discuss the Remuneration Report for Shareholders who are interested in doing so. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Shareholders are informed that under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of the vote on this Resolution are against adopting the Remuneration Report, the Company will be required to consider and report to Shareholders in the next Remuneration Report on what action is proposed to be (if any) or has been taken in response to Shareholder concerns, and if no action is proposed to be taken, the Board’s reasons for this.
Shareholders also need to be aware that as a result of the legislation which became effective on 1 July 2011 a “two strikes” process will apply to the results of voting in relation to Resolution 1. This means that if the resolution proposing adoption of the Remuneration Report receives a “no” vote of over 25% of votes cast by those attending in person or by proxy and permitted to vote, at two successive annual general meetings, then the Company’s next annual general meeting must contain an extra resolution (“ Spill Resolution ”) proposing that another general meeting (“ Spill Meeting ”) should be held within 90 days of that annual general meeting. A simple majority of over 50% of the votes cast at that next annual general meeting is required to pass the Spill Resolution. If the Spill Resolution is passed, within 90 days the Spill Meeting must be held at which all the Directors, except the Managing Director and any new Directors appointed since the annual general meeting of the second strike, will be required to resign and offer themselves for re-election.
If at the Spill Meeting, the resolutions are all passed against re-electing the relevant Directors, the legislation includes a mechanism to ensure the Board continues with the statutory required minimum of 3 Directors. After the Managing Director, the remaining two positions will be filled by the Directors whose re-election resolutions at the Spill Meeting received the highest percentage of votes in favour of re-election. If the number of votes is the same for two Directors, the Managing Director and any other Director whose re-election has been confirmed at this Spill Meeting, can choose who is to become the third Director, with such appointment to be confirmed by shareholders at the next annual general meeting. The ramifications of this mechanism being invoked include that the Company would not be in compliance with its corporate governance policies as a result of not having three independent directors on the Company’s audit committee or any other committees requiring independent directors.
Furthermore, depending on the outcome of voting at the subsequent annual general meeting, Shareholders may be obliged to consider a resolution to requiring the full Board (excluding the Managing Director) to seek re-election.
The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the proxy form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intentions.
The Directors make no recommendation on Resolution 1.
3. RESOLUTIONS 2 & 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Resolution 2 deals with the re-election of Mr Geoffrey Crow who retires by rotation as required by the Company’s Constitution and the Listing Rules and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election.
Mr Crow has more than 30 years’ experience in all aspects of financial services, corporate finance, stockbroking and investor relations in Australia and international markets and has owned and operated his own businesses in these areas for the last sixteen years.
Mr Crow is currently Chairman of ASX-listed Lake Resources N.L. and a non-executive director of ASX-listed companies TNG Limited and Todd River Resources Limited and AIM-listed company Iron Ridge Resources Limited.
The Directors, except for Mr Crow, recommend the re-election of Mr Crow as a Director.
Resolution 3 deals with the re-election of Mr Stuart Hall who retires by rotation as required by the Company’s Constitution and the Listing Rules and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election.
Mr Hall is a qualified geologist with over 40 years’ experience in exploration and mining projects located in Australia and Africa. He has extensive experience in the areas of exploration strategy, mine geology, open pit and underground mining operations, resource/reserve estimations, reconciliation, feasibility, mine project development and mine management. Mr Hall has been involved in the feasibility, construction, commissioning and management of several open pit and underground mining operations.
The Directors, except for Mr Hall, recommend the re-election of Mr Hall as a Director.
4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% CAPACITY
4.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of 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 exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 4.2(c) below).
The primary purpose for the 10% Placement Facility is to pursue possible future investment opportunities that may arise.
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
4.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
4.2(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
4.2(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two classes of quoted Equity Securities, being Shares and Options (having the ASX codes BYH and BYHO respectively).
4.2(c)
Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
(D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
4.2(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 56,000,000 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 8,400,000 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 4, 5,600,000 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 4.2(c) above).
4.2(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
4.2(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( 10% Placement Period ).
4.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
4.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Listed Options, only if the Listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:
-
(i) 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 the Meeting; and
-
(ii) 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 consideration for the acquisition of a new asset;
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 100% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(ii) No Options (including any Listed Options under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example at 10%.
-
(iv) 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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(v) The table shows only the effect of the issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes the issue of Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(vii) The Issue Price is $0.23, being the closing price on 17 October 2017.
-
(viii) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or without approval under Listing Rule 7.1, and the total number of Shares on issue and approved or deemed approved at the date hereof for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 is 56,000,000.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the 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
-
(ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
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:
-
(i) 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;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new 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.
-
(e) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
The Board believes that the 10% Placement Facility is beneficial for the Company as it will give the Company the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 10% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders approve Resolution 4.
The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

How to Vote on Items of Business
All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.
Appointment of Proxy
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
Signing Instructions for Postal Forms
Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.
Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.
Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
Attending the Meeting
Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or online at www.investorcentre.com under the help tab, "Printable Forms".
Comments & Questions: If you have any comments or questions for the company, please write them on a separate sheet of paper and return with this form.
