2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF CDIS - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 General
On 16 August 2023 , the Company issued 10,687,500 CDIs under the Placement at an issue price of $0.10 per CDI, comprising:
-
(a) 8,380,015 CDIs which were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1); and
-
(b) 2,307,485 CDIs which were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate (being, the subject of Resolution 2), which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022.
The issue of the Placement CDIs did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement CDIs.
2.2
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
ARCADIA MINERALS LIMITED | NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
| P a g e 5
==> picture [78 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022.
The issue of the Placement CDIs does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement CDIs.
2.3
Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement CDIs.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Placement CDIs will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement CDIs.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Placement CDIs will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement CDIs.
2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:
-
(a) the Placement CDIs were issued to professional, sophisticated and other exempt investors who are clients of the Lead Manager. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:
-
(i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

3. RESOLUTION 3 –RAUBEX GROUP LIMITED PARTICIPATION IN PLACEMENT
3.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, Raubex wishes to participate in the Placement, and subscribe for 4,312,500 CDIs to maintain its relevant interest in 28.75% of the Company, on the same terms as other participants in the Placement ( Raubex Participation ).

-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

ARCADIA MINERALS LIMITED | NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
| P a g e 7
==> picture [78 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Prior to the issue of the Placement CDIs, through its subsidiaries, Raubex Pty Ltd (ACN 623 396 403) and SPH Kundalila (Pty) Ltd (an entity incorporated in South Africa), Raubex had a relevant interest in 28.75% of the CDIs in the Company, which interest has reduced to 25.82% as a result of the issue of the Placement CDIs. Raubex is currently represented on the Board by a Director, Johan Le Roux. Johan has been the Business Development Manager of SPH Kundalila, a wholly owned subsidiary of Raubex, for the past 14 years.
Although the Company considers that Raubex does not strictly fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.3 (as the Johan Le Roux position as a director and representative of Raubex is not governed by the terms of any relevant agreement), in the interest of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 in respect of the Raubex Participation.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the CDIs under the Raubex Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.1 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the CDIs in respect of the Raubex Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the CDIs will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the CDIs under the Raubex Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.
3.4 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) the CDIs will be issued to Raubex (or its nominee). Although the Company considers that Raubex does not strictly fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.3 (as the representation of Johan Le Roux as a director is not governed by the terms of any relevant agreement), the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 in the interest of transparency and best practice corporate governance;
-
(b) the maximum number of CDIs to be issued to Raubex (or its nominee) is 4,312,500;
-
(c) the CDIs issued will be on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing CDIs. A summary of the terms and conditions of the Company’s existing CDIs is set out in section 11.4 of the Company’s entitlement issue prospectus announced on 15 April 2021 (which is available on the Company’s ASX announcements platform (ASX:AM7);
-

-
(f) the purpose and intended use of funds of the Placement is set out in Section 1.1;

-
(g) Raubex is not a Director but is an associate of, or a person connected with, Johan Le Roux, a Director, under Listing Rules 10.11.4 or 10.11.5, however the issue of the CDIs to Raubex is not intended to remunerate or incentivise Johan Le Roux;
-
(h) the CDIs are not being issued under an agreement; and
-
(i) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 3 of the Notice.
4. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF LEAD MANAGER OPTIONS

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022.
The issue of the Lead Manager Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Lead Manager Options.
4.2
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Lead Manager Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Lead Manager Options will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options.
