-
a) it is cast by a person as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the resolution, or by a person who is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on and the appointment expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel; and

Explanatory Memorandum
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice of Meeting and 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 10.30am on Friday, 30 November 2018 at Level 11, 60 Margaret Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000.
This Explanatory Memorandum is a brief explanation of Resolutions 1 to 3 in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and why the Company is seeking Shareholder approval. It should be read in full and in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORT
As required by Section 317 of the Corporations Act, the Financial Report and the reports of the Directors and the Auditor for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 will be laid before the Meeting.
During this item of business, Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the reports and the business and management of the Company.
There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve these reports. However, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask a representative of the Company’s Auditor, Grant Thornton, questions in relation to the conduct of the audit (including the independence of the Auditor), and the accounting policies adopted by the Company.
RESOLUTION 1 - REMUNERATION REPORT
Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report contained in the Directors’ Report set out in the 2018 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website at www.archerx.com.au.
The Remuneration Report provides information on the following issues:
-
the policies adopted by the Board for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors, the company secretary and senior managers;
-
the relationship between the remuneration policies and the Company’s performance;
-
the performance conditions that apply to the different components of the remuneration structure, why those performance conditions were chosen and how performance is measured against them; and
-
remuneration details for Directors and senior executives.
The Board believes the Company’s remuneration policies and structures as outlined in the Remuneration Report are appropriate relative to the size of the Company, its business and strategic objective and current and emerging market practices.
A reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report will be provided at the Meeting.
The Shareholder vote on the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company, in accordance with Section 250R of the Corporations Act. If more than 25% of the votes cast on a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report for two consecutive annual general meetings, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution that another meeting be held within 90 days, at which all of the Company’s Directors must stand for re-election. At the 2017 AGM, the Company’s remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2017 did not receive a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more.
Board Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of adopting the Remuneration Report.
A voting exclusion statement for this Resolution 1 is set out in the Notice.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolution 1.

Explanatory Memorandum
RESOLUTION 2 - RE-ELECTION OF PAUL RIX AS A DIRECTOR
Clause 2.5 of the Company’s Constitution requires that at every Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must retire from office and are eligible for re-election. Also, under ASX Listing Rule 14.4 no Director may hold office without re-election beyond the third Annual General Meeting following the meeting at which the director was last elected or re-elected.
Accordingly, Mr Paul Rix will retire by rotation and seek re-election. The qualifications and experience of Paul Rix are set out below.
Paul Rix has been a Non-Executive Director of the Company since February 2016 and is a member of the Company’s Audit & Risk Management Committee.
Paul Rix is an experienced mining professional with more than 30 years’ experience in the marketing of industrial minerals and products. From 2003 – 2013, Paul 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.
The Board considers Paul to be an independent director.
Board Recommendation
The Directors (with Paul Rix abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 2 for the re-election of Paul Rix as a Director.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolution 2.
RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL OF 10% ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY
This Resolution 3 is a Special Resolution.
Background to Resolution 3
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 at which approval of the issue is obtained ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and allows the Company to issue up to 25% of its issued capital in total.
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 at the date of this Notice and must remain compliant with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.1A at the date of the Meeting to be able to utilise the additional capacity to issue Equity Securities under that Listing Rule.
The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution which 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) to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Number of Shares
The formula for calculating the maximum amount of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity is calculated as follows:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue:
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
Page 4
Explanatory Memorandum
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 (excluding an issue of shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval);
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under this Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue and that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
The ability 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 188,302,114 Shares and therefore has capacity to issue:
-
1) 28,245,317 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and
-
2) 18,830,211 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A (subject to approval of this Resolution 3).
-
A number of scenarios showing potential issues under Listing Rule 7.1A are detailed in the table below.
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 Capacity as follows:
1) Minimum issue price
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.A.3, the issue price of Equity Securities under this 10% Placement Capacity will be no less than 75% of the VWAP for securities in that 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 securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
ii) if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph i), the date on which the securities are issued.
2) Risk of economic and voting dilution
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below (in the case of unlisted options, only if the unlisted 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 approval under rule 7.1A; 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 table below describes the potential dilution of existing ordinary security holders on the basis of at least three different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2, and also shows:
-
i) at least one example that assumes variable “A” is double the number of ordinary securities on issue at the time of the approval under rule 7.1A. Variable “A” is the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result 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 meeting of Shareholders; and
-
ii) at least one example where the issue price of ordinary securities has fallen by at least 50%.

| Funds raised | $1,412,265 | $2,824,531 | $5,649,063 |
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
ii) No unlisted options (including any unlisted options issued under the 10% Placement Capacity) 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 as 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 issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or as a result of any issues of Equity Securities pursuant to any other approval under Chapter 7 of the Listing Rules.
-
vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes 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 $0.075, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 15 October 2018.
3) Timing
The date by which the Equity Securities may be issued is the earlier of:
-
i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting; and
-
ii) the date of 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 (change involving main undertaking).
The approval will cease to be valid in the event that holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (change involving main undertaking).
4) Purposes for which Equity Securities may be issued
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
1) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new resources, 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
-
2) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new resources, 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.
Page 6
Explanatory Memorandum
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.
5) Allocation Policy
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a caseby-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
1) 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;
-
2) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
3) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
4) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity 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.
6) Previously obtained approval under rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2017 AGM on 3 November 2017. As such, for the purposes of rule 7.3A.6:
- a) the total number of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting is 19,089,125 (being 18,639,125 unlisted options and 450,000 Performance Rights) and the percentage they represent of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period is 9.3%.
Note: To avoid double-counting, this % calculation does not include the Shares issued during the 12 month period preceding the date of the meeting that relate to the exercise of 10,357,432 unlisted SPP Options and 750,000 Performance Rights. The table below at b), however, does disclose details of all Equity Securities issued within that 12-month period, including those Shares issued from exercise of unlisted SPP Options and Performance Rights;
- b) details of all issues of Equity Securities issued by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting, including for each such issue the required information under Listing Rule 7.3A.6(b) is set out in the table below:
| Issue date, number and class of Equity Securities and summary of key terms |
Names of persons who received securities or basis on which those persons were determined |
Issue Price of Equity Securities and discount to market price1 on the trading day prior to issue |
If issued for cash – the total consideration, the amount of cash that has been spent, what it was spent on and the intended use of the remaining funds. If issued for non-cash – a description of the consideration and the current value of the consideration. |

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.
