IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING PROXY VOTES ON RESOLUTION 1
The Corporations Act places certain restrictions on the ability of Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties to vote on the advisory resolution to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report. At this year’s Annual General Meeting, these laws will only impact Resolution 1.
If the Chairman is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as your proxy, you can direct the Chairman to vote ‘for’ or ‘against’, or ‘abstain’ from voting on, Resolution 1 on the proxy form.
If the Chairman is your proxy or is appointed as your proxy by default, the Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as your proxy and you do not direct the Chairman how to vote on Resolution 1, the proxy form provides that you acknowledge you are expressly authorising the Chairman to vote in favour of Resolution 1 even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.
If you appoint a member of Key Management Personnel of the Company (other than the Chairman) or their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, you must direct them how to vote on Resolution 1. If you do not do so, you risk your vote not being cast.
For these reasons, Shareholders are encouraged to closely review the instructions on the proxy form and are encouraged to direct their proxy as to how to vote on all Resolutions.
VOTING ENTITLEMENTS
For the purposes of section 1074E(2) of the Corporations Act and regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Company has determined that the shareholding of each person for the purposes of determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Company’s register as at 10.00 am WST on Tuesday, 22 November 2016. Accordingly, transactions registered after this time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of Annual General Meeting in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. Capitalised terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum will, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meaning given to them in the glossary contained in this Explanatory Memorandum.
1. CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS
Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Directors of the Company to lay before the Meeting the financial statements, Directors’ Report (including the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor’s Report for the last financial year that ended before the AGM.
In accordance with section 250S of the Corporations Act , Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make statements in relation to those reports but no formal resolution to adopt the reports will be put to Shareholders at the AGM (save for Resolution 1 for the adoption of the Remuneration Report).
Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask the Company’s auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report. In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company’s auditor about the finances of the Company, may be submitted no later than five business days before the Meeting to the registered office of the Company.
A copy of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report is available on the ASX website or at http://www.energiaminerals.com within the ASX Announcements located in the Investor Centre section of the website.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
Section 298 of the Corporations Act requires that the Directors’ Report contain a Remuneration Report prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act .
By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:
-
(a) discusses the Company’s policy and the process for determining the remuneration of its Directors, including the Managing Director and employees;
-
(b) addresses the relationship between the remuneration of the Company’s executive officers and the performance of the Company; and
-
(c) sets out remuneration details for each Director and each of the Key Management Personnel of the Company named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2016.
Page 6
Shareholders are entitled to vote on the question as to whether the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2016 is to be adopted. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires companies to put a resolution to their members that the Remuneration Report be adopted.
Pursuant to section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act , Shareholders should note that Resolution 1 is of an advisory nature only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
In accordance with section 250SA of the Corporations Act , Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
The Corporations Act provides that if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of the approval of the applicable Directors’ report must stand for re-election.
At the Company’s 2015 annual general meeting, less than 25% of votes cast on the adoption of the remuneration report voted against its adoption. As such, regardless of the outcome on Resolution 1, a spill resolution will not be required to be considered at the AGM.
If you intend to appoint a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel (including any Director or the Chairman) or their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, please refer to the important information contained in the Notice of Meeting under the heading “Important information concerning proxy votes on Resolution 1”.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR MARCELLO CARDACI AS A DIRECTOR
Article 78 of the Company’s constitution provides that a Director (other than the Managing Director) may not hold office for a continuous period in excess of three years or past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting for re-election. If no Director is required to submit for re-election, the Director or Directors to retire at the annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their election (other than the Managing Director, Mr Kim Robinson, who is not required to stand for re-election).
Mr Alexander Burns and Mr Marcello Cardaci have both been in office for the same period of time. In accordance with the Company’s constitution, these Directors have agreed that Mr Cardaci will retire from office, and being eligible, offer himself for re-election as a Director of the Company. Mr Cardaci currently holds the position of non-executive Director.
A brief profile of Mr Cardaci is set out below.
Mr Marcello D Cardaci BJuris, LLB, B.Com
Mr Cardaci is a partner of Gilbert & Tobin’s Corporate Advisory Group. Mr Cardaci advises on a range of corporate and commercial matters including public and private equity fund raisings and public and private mergers, acquisitions and divestment. Mr Cardaci also regularly advises on issues relating to the Corporations Act and Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules. He has cross-border experience, having advised on numerous
Page 7

Mr Cardaci has also lectured in the securities law course conducted by the Securities Institute of Australia and is a past committee member of the State Branch of the Australian Mining and Petroleum Law Association Limited.
Mr Cardaci was appointed as a non-executive Director on 7 October 2014, with his appointment being confirmed by Shareholders on 24 November 2014. Mr Cardaci is the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee, Nomination Committee and Audit & Risk Committee.
During the past three years, Mr Cardaci has also served as a director of the following listed companies:

-
(c) Forge Group Limited (in liquidation) – appointed June 2007 and resigned October 2013; and

The Directors (with Mr Cardaci abstaining in respect of his own re-election) unanimously support the re-election of Mr Cardaci and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% SHARE ISSUE CAPACITY
4.1 Background to Resolution 3
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that without Shareholder approval, the Company must not issue or agree to issue new Equity Securities constituting more than 15% of its total issued capital within a 12 month period (excluding any issue of Equity Securities approved by Shareholders and other various exceptions which are not relevant for current purposes).
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible entities may seek shareholder approval at their annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities up to a further 10% of their issued share capital ( 10% Share Issue Capacity ) in addition to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
The 10% Share Issue Capacity must be approved by a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% or more 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) in order to be passed.
An eligible entity for the purpose 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. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity.
Any issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A:
-
(a) must be in an existing quoted class of the Company’s Equity Securities; and
-
(b) must be calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed by Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Page 8
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity. The approval of Resolution 3 will provide the Company with the flexibility to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity in addition to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval for Resolution 3:
Minimum price
The minimum price at which Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity is no less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in the same class 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; or
-
(b) if the securities are not issued within five Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the securities are issued.
Potential risk of economic and voting dilution
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and Equity Securities are issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to the ordinary security holders of the Company. There is a specific risk that:
-
(a) the market price for Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue than on the date of the AGM; and
-
(b) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders upon the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity, using different variables for the number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’ (as defined in Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is noted that the variable ‘A’ is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities. The table shows:
- (a) examples of where variable ‘A’ is at its current level, and where variable ‘A’ has increased by 50% and by 100%;
Page 9
-
(b) examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market price as at close of trade on 17 October 2016, being $0.042, (the current market price as at the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of this Notice), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and
-
(c) the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity are issued.
| Variable ‘A’ in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
Number of Shares issued and funds raised under the 10% Share Issue Capacity and dilution effect |
Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.021 Issue price at half the current market price (as at close of trade on 17 October 2016 ) |
$0.042 Issue price at current market price (as at close of trade on 17 October 2016) |
$0.084 Issue price at double the current market price (as at close of trade on 17 October 2016) |
||
| Current Variable ‘A’ 783,027,454 Shares |
Shares issued | 78,302,745 | 78,302,745 | 78,302,745 |
| Funds raised | $1,644,357 | $3,288,715 | $6,577,430 | |
| 50% increase in current Variable ‘A’ 1,174,541,181 Shares |
Shares issued | 117,454,118 | 117,454,118 | 117,454,118 |
| Funds raised | $2,466,536 | $4,933,072 | $9,866,145 | |
| 100% increase in current variable ‘A’ 1,566,054,908 Shares |
Shares issued | 156,605,490 | 156,605,490 | 156,605,490 |
| Funds raised | $3,288,715 | $6,577,430 | $13,154,861 |
The above table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The market price is $0.042 based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX on 17 October 2016.
-
The current issued share capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2).
-
The Company issues the maximum number of securities available under the 10% Share Issue Capacity.
-
No Options are exercised prior to the date of issue of any Shares under the 10% Share Issue Capacity.
-
The table shows the effect of issues of the Company’s Shares under the 10% Share Issue Capacity, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity.
Page 10
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to any particular Shareholder (taking into account that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the AGM).
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity consists only of Shares.
-
The issue price of the 10% Share Issue Capacity used in the table does not take into account discount to market price (if any).
Timing of potential issues
If Shareholder approval of Resolution 3 is obtained, Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity during the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and ending on the first to occur of the following:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting; and
-
(b) the date of Shareholder approval for any transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
-
Purpose of potential issues
Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(a) if Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, for the acquisition of new assets or other investments. If this occurs, the Company will comply with the minimum issue price limitation under Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will provide a valuation to the market of the non-cash consideration; and
-
(b) if Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, the Company intends to use funds raised to further progress its exploration projects and for working capital purposes.
The Company will comply with its disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity.
Allocation policy The Company’s allocation policy will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue under the 10% Share Issue Capacity.
The identity of allottees of Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors which may include, but are not limited to:
- (a) the methods of raising funds which are available to the Company, including the time and market exposure associated with the various methods of raising capital applicable at the time of the raising;
Page 11
-
(b) the effect of any such issue on the control of the Company;
-
(c) the financial situation of the Company; and
-
(d) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers.
As at the date of this Notice, the allottees under the 10% Share Issue Capacity have not been determined. They may, however, include substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders. They will not include related parties (or their associates) of the Company.
Previous approvals under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2013, 2014 and 2015 annual general meetings. The approval given at the 2015 annual general meeting will expire on 18 November 2016.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued the following equity securities in the 12 month period preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting, set out in Annexure A .
| Reason | Number | Equity Security |
|---|---|---|
| Issue of unlisted Options pursuant to the Plan |
12,000,000 | Options |
| Issue of fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to a 2 for 7 non-renounceable rights issue |
174,006,475 | Fully paid ordinary shares |
| Total | 186,006,475 |
All Options issued in the previous 12 months were issued for nil consideration as Incentives under the Plan.
All Shares issued in the previous 12 months were issued on the basis of 2 Shares for every 7 Shares under a nonrenounceable rights issue at an issue price of $0.035 per Share.
On 24 November 2015, the Equity Securities of the Company constituted, or were convertible into 637,520,979 Shares.
On this measure, the equity securities issued in the preceding 12 months amount to approximately 29.2% of the Equity Securities on issue at 24 November 2015.
Page 12
Voting exclusion A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At statement the date of the Notice, the Company has not determined its allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Share Issue Capacity, other than noting the persons to whom Shares will be issued will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to the factors outlined in the ‘Allocation policy’ section above. The Company has not approached, and has not yet determined to approach, any particular existing security holders to participate in an offer under the 10% Share Issue Capacity, therefore no existing security holders’ votes would be excluded under the voting exclusion statement included in this Notice.
