General Meeting – Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at:

Date: Friday 05 August 2016 Time: 10.00 am (Adelaide time) Venue: Level 1, 67 Greenhill Road, Wayville South Australia 5034

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in full and in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of General Meeting before making any decision in relation to the resolutions, and is a brief explanation of Resolutions 1 and 2 in the Notice of General Meeting and why the Company is seeking Shareholder approval.

Ordinary Business

RESOLUTION 1 - Approval to issue SPP Options

Background to Resolution 1

On 18 May 2016, the Company offered Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Company’s Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) to purchase a maximum of $15,000 of shares at the discounted price of $0.08 per share. On 14 June 2016, the Company issued 25,429,453 new shares under the SPP. The SPP offer was made in accordance with ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425].

Shareholders who were allotted shares under the SPP will also be entitled to apply for one free attaching unlisted option for every share allotted to them under the SPP. The free attaching options have an exercise price of $0.12 and an expiry date of 30 June 2017 ( SPP Options ). Given that ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] does not provide relief for an offer of options, on 27 June 2016, the Company sent a prospectus for the offer of the SPP Options to shareholders who were issued shares under the SPP.

The Company does not have sufficient capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue 25,429,453 SPP Options, therefore is seeking shareholder approval at this meeting to issue up to 25,429,453 SPP Options.

ASX Listing Rules Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires the Company to obtain shareholder approval if it issues, or agrees to issue, securities in the capital of the Company in any 12 month period that aggregate more than 15% in number of the existing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 applies.

For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of a convertible security is treated as an issue of the capital of the company on a fully converted basis.

If Resolution 1 is approved, the SPP Options issued, may be treated by the Company as having been made with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company will therefore be able to issue additional equity securities without the SPP Options, the Subject of Resolution 1 (and any Shares issued upon the exercise of such SPP Options) counting toward the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information to be provided to Shareholders when seeking an approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1:

  • a) The maximum number of securities to be issued is 25,429,453 SPP Options.

  • b) If shareholder approval is obtained, the issue of SPP Options will occur no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

  • c) SPP Options will be issued for nil consideration.

  • d) Up to 25,429,453 SPP Options will be issued to shareholders who were allotted Shares under the Company’s SPP offer dated 18 May 2016, who subsequently apply for their entitlement to one free attaching SPP Option for every share purchased under the SPP.

  • e) See Annexure A for the Terms of the SPP Options. The Terms of the SPP Options were also detailed in the Prospectus for the offer of SPP Options, which was sent to Shareholders who were issued shares under the SPP, on 14 June 2016.

  • f) No funds will be raised from the issue of SPP Options. It is anticipated that any funds raised from the exercise of SPP Options (if this occurs) will be used for working capital. There is no guarantee that the SPP Options will be exercised at all.

  • g) If shareholder approval is obtained, the SPP Options will be allotted on several dates during the 3 month period specified in paragraph (b) above

General Meeting – Explanatory Memorandum

ASX waivers

ASX Listing Rule 7.3.8

ASX Listing Rules 7.3.8 and 14.11 provide that the notice of meeting must include a statement to the effect that any person who participated in the SPP must not vote on Resolution 1. As the Company is making offers under the Prospectus for SPP Options to all Shareholders who participated in the SPP, then no person who participated in the SPP would be able to vote on Resolution 1 to approve the issue of SPP Options. In these circumstances, ASX has granted the Company a waiver from ASX Listing Rule 7.3.8 so that any person who participated in the SPP may vote on Resolution 1.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a Company must not issue or agree to issue securities to a related party, including a Director, without first obtaining shareholder approval. As directors were entitled to participate in the SPP, the company sought, and has been granted, a waiver to permit directors and their associates to participate in the SPP on the same terms as other shareholders without requiring shareholder approval under ASX Listing 10.11. Accordingly, separate approval is not required here under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of SPP Options to directors who participated in the SPP.

Board Recommendation

The Board Recommends that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 1.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolution 1.

RESOLUTION 2 - Approval to issue Options to Director Paul Rix

Background to Resolution 2

Paul Rix is an experienced mining professional with more than 30 years’ experience in the marketing of industrial minerals and products. From 2003 – 2013, Mr Rix worked for Queensland Magnesia Pty Ltd (QMAG) as General Manager Marketing where he was responsible for the development and implementation of QMAG's long-term marketing strategy, focusing on diversification of magnesia products and markets whilst maintaining high plant utilisation. His magnesia marketing responsibilities stretched across six continents and more than 30 countries.

On 14 August 2015 Archer entered into a Services Agreement ( Services Agreement ) with RixMin International Pty Ltd ( RixMin ) which is a company controlled by Paul Rix. Below is a summary of the key terms of the Services Agreement:

  • The Agreement had a term starting on 14 August 2015 and ending 16 August 2016.

  • RixMin is to introduce Archer to purchasers of magnesite and magnesia products as well as potential investors in the Leigh Creek Magnesite Project ( Customers ).

  • RixMin was to prepare and submit to Archer a magnesite marketing report. The report was submitted by RixMin and Archer paid to RixMin the amount of $5,000 for this report.

  • Archer must pay to RixMin a 1.5% commission on sales of magnesite and magnesia products to Customers and any investment made by a Customer in the Leigh Creek Magnesite Project ( Commission ).

  • Either party could terminate the Services Agreement for convenience, upon the giving of at least 6 months prior written notice. If Archer terminated the Agreement for convenience, and not because of a default by RixMin, then the Commission would be payable if Archer entered into an agreement with a Customer within 12 months after the date of termination of the Services Agreement.

Paul Rix became a Director on 8 February 2016 and the Board formed the view that Paul’s goals would be better aligned to those of Shareholders if the Services Agreement was terminated and replaced by the issue of the Rix Options to Mr Rix. The Company and Rixmin have agreed to terminate the Services Agreement in return for the issue of 5,000,000 Rix Options to Mr Rix or his nominee. Mr Rix’s magnesia industry contacts are vital to the success of the Leigh Creek Magnesite Project. Therefore, if this Resolution 2 is not approved and the 5,000,000 Rix Options are not issued to Paul Rix or his nominee, then Archer intends to reinstate the Services Agreement and to extend the term of the Services Agreement to 31 December 2017.

Resolution 2 is seeking shareholder approval to issue 5,000,000 Rix Options to Paul Rix, a Director, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

Key terms of Rix Options

There is no issue price and consequently there are no funds raised upon issue of the Rix Options as they are issued for nil consideration. Each Rix Option issued to Mr Rix will lapse on 31 January 2019, have an exercise price of $0.15 per Share (being a premium of 100% above the Archer Share price at the date of this Notice) and will vest upon meeting the Performance Hurdles.

4

==> picture [596 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

General Meeting – Explanatory Memorandum

The Rix Options vest and become exercisable only if both of the following the Performance Hurdles are satisfied:

  • Archer receives its first payment for magnesia product delivered by Archer to a customer under a legally binding magnesia product offtake sales agreement ( First Sales ); and

  • At the time of the First Sales or at any time 12 months prior to the date of the First Sales, Mr Rix is or was a director or employee of Archer or of any Archer related body corporate (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act).

Paul Rix interests and remuneration

Paul Rix joined the Board on 8 February 2016 and receives a fixed fee of $50,000 per annum (inclusive of superannuation) for his services as Director. If Shareholders do not approve the issue of the Rix Options, then the Services Agreement will be reinstated and Mr Rix will be entitled to receive the remuneration under the Services Agreement described above in addition to his annual Director fee of $50,000.

Mr Rix does not have a relevant interest in any Shares, Options or Archer securities.

If the Rix Options granted to Paul Rix vest and are exercised, a total of 5,000,000 new Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 110,194,306 to 115,194,306 (assuming that no other options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 4.5%.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Rix Options would normally determine whether or not the Rix Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Rix Options vest and are subsequently exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Rix Options, then there may be a perceived cost to Archer.

The trading history of Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice are:

Price Date
Highest $0.11 19 May 2016
Lowest $0.07 11 March 2016
Last $0.075 24 June 2016

Section 208 of the Corporations Act

Mr Rix is a Director so is a related party of Archer. In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Rix Options, pursuant to Resolution 2, as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. The Rix Options which are proposed to be issued are being issued in lieu of fees payable to Mr Rix under the Services Agreement and are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

ASX Listing Rules Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a Company must not issue or agree to issue securities to a related party, including a Director, without first obtaining shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information to be provided to Shareholders when seeking an approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11:

  • a) The Rix Options will be issued to Paul Rix or his nominee(s).

  • b) The number of Rix Options to be issued is 5,000,000.

  • c) The issue of Rix Options subject of Resolution 2 will occur no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) but will vest upon meeting the Performance Hurdles.

  • d) The Rix Options will be issued for nil consideration.

  • e) See Annexure B for the terms of the Rix Options subject of Resolution 2.

  • f) No funds will be raised from the issue of the Rix Options subject of Resolution 2. It is anticipated that any funds raised from the exercise of the Rix Options (if this occurs) will be used for working capital. There is no guarantee that the Rix Options will be exercised at all.

  • g) A voting Exclusion statement is included in this Notice

General Meeting – Explanatory Memorandum

Board Recommendation

Mr Rix declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be issued 5,000,000 Rix Options should Resolution 2 be passed.

With the exception of Mr Rix, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 2. The Directors (other than Mr Rix) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 for the following reasons:

  • the issue of Rix Options to Mr Rix will better align the interests of Mr Rix with those of Shareholders;

  • the issue of the Rix Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow Archer to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if cash payments were given to Mr Rix under the Services Agreement; and

  • it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to Archer or benefits foregone by Archer in issuing the Rix Options on the terms proposed.

In forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of Mr Rix, the skills Mr Rix brings to Archer and the current market price of Shares when determining the number of Rix Options to be issued.

The Board (apart from Mr Rix, who makes no recommendation) recommends that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 2.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolution 2.
