EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the 2012 Annual General Meeting to be held at 10 am (AEDT) on 28[th] November 2012 at Whittens Lawyers and Consultants, Level 5, 137-139 Bathurst Street, Sydney NSW 2000.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Director’s Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report.

In accordance with the amendments to the Corporations Act, the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Financial Report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments may result in reducing the Company’s printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Financial Report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company Annual Financial Report on its website at http://www.pldcorporation.com.au .

No resolution is required for this item, but Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask questions and to make comments on the management and performance of the Company.

RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to present to its Shareholders the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report.

The vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website at http://www.pldcorporation.com.au.

However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2012 AGM, and then again at the 2013 AGM, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the 2013 AGM to approve the calling of an extraordinary general meeting ( spill resolution ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting ( spill meeting ) within 90 days of the 2013 AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2013 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if desired) need to stand for re-election at the spill meeting.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to KMPs (including Directors) and sets out remuneration details, service agreements and the details of any share-based compensation.

Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. In particular, the Directors and other Restricted Voters must not vote on this Resolution and must not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote, or the proxy is given to the Chair and you mark the box on, and submit, the Proxy Form, authorising the Chair to exercise the proxy even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP and that in doing so you will be taken to have directed him to vote in accordance with his stated intention to vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Shareholders are urged to read carefully the Proxy Form and to provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF MR. MATTHEW GAUCI AS A DIRECTOR

The Company’s Constitution provides that any Director appointed during the year either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to existing Directors, holds office until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

Mr Gauci was appointed as a Director of the Company on 26 September 2012 pursuant to rule 13.4 of the Company's constitution to fill a casual vacancy. Pursuant to rule 13.4 of the Company's constitution, Mr Gauci will hold office until the next general meeting of the Company, at which time he may be re-elected.

Background details for Mr Matthew Gauci are set out below:

Mr. Gauci has 15+ years experience in the mining industry and has successfully financed and managed private and public mining exploration companies in Australia, Africa and South America. Mr Gauci has managed the exploration, development and feasibility of a number of mining exploration projects in commodities such as gold, uranium, coal, iron ore and industrial minerals. He has also consulted to companies operating in the technology and life sciences industries. Mr Gauci is a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD). Mr Gauci has a BSc. and an MBA from the University of Western Australia.

The Directors, (other than Mr Gauci) recommend that shareholders vote for Resolution 2.

RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR, MR JONATHAN PAGER

The Constitution requires that if the Company has three or more Directors, one third (or the number nearest one-third) of those Directors must retire at each annual general meeting, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Company currently has 3 Directors and accordingly one Director must retire.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for reelection. Mr Jonathan Pager retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Mr Pager has over 18 years’ of experience as a management consultant across a wide range of industries in Australia and overseas and is currently Managing Director of Pager Partners Business Consultants and Pager Partners Corporate Advisory. He has a Masters of Economics and qualified as a chartered accountant with Deloitte where he commenced his

7

career. Jonathan has recapitalised several ASX listed companies. He is currently a director of FRR Corporation Limited and Prospect Resources Limited. He was previously a director of both TPL Corporation Limited and Modun Resources Limited.

The Directors (excluding Mr Pager) recommend that shareholders vote for Resolution 3.

RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MR. MATTHEW GAUCI

4.1 General

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 30,000,000 Options to Mr. Matthew Gauci. It is proposed to issue Mr Gauci options over ordinary shares of the Company as follows:

Number of Options Exercise Price Expiry Date
10,000,000 $0.02 31/12/15
10,000,000 $0.04 31/12/15
10,000,000 $0.06 31/12/15

The expiry date of the options is valid whilst Mr Gauci remains employed by the Company. If the Company or Mr Gauci terminates Mr Gauci’s employment, these options must be exercised within 3 months of the date of termination or they automatically lapse.

Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of Options is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11. The effect of passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the options to Mr Gauci during a one month period following the meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may, in its discretion, allow pursuant to a waiver of Listing Rule 10.13.3), without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Technical information required by the ASX Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.11requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purposes of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11:

  • The maximum number of options to be issued is 30,000,000 options.

  • The Company will issue and allot the options no later than one month after the date of the AGM (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow).

  • Each option will be granted for nil cash consideration and if exercised the funds raised will be used for working capital

  • The options will be granted to Matthew Gauci (or his nominee).

  • Each option entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) ordinary fully paid share in the Company. 10,000,000 options have an exercise price of $0.02 and have an expiry date of 31/12/15. 10,000,000 options have an exercise price of $0.04 and have an expiry date of 31/12/15. 10,000,000 options have an exercise price of $0.06 and have an expiry date of 31/12/15.

8

  • No funds will be raised by the grant of the options as they are being granted for nil cash consideration.

  • In the event of any reconstruction (including a subdivision, consolidation or other reconstruction of ordinary shares of PLD into any greater or lesser number) of the issued capital of PLD before the exercise of the Options, the entitlement of an Option Holder to shares on the exercise of any Option is reconstructed in the same proportion and manner as the issued ordinary share capital of PLD is reconstructed (subject to the same provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements which apply to the reconstruction of the ordinary share capital in question) and in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

  • The option holder cannot participate in new issues until the options have been exercised.

  • A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

In addition to the above, the Options to be issued pursuant to this resolution will be unlisted, transferrable and identical (other than for the strike price) to the 60,000,000 options already on issue in the Company.

Other than the information above and otherwise in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Company believes that there is no other information that would be reasonably required by shareholders to pass Resolution 4.

RESOLUTION 5 – LISTING RULE 7.1A APPROVAL

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A certain companies may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the additional capacity to issue equity securities (shares and or options) which do not exceed 10% of the existing ordinary share capital without further shareholder approval.

Approval under this Resolution 5 is sought for the Company to issue ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.

If Resolution 5 is approved the Company may make an issue of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A at any time (either on a single date or progressively) up until the earlier of:

  • the date which is 12 months after the date of the 2012 Annual General Meeting; or

  • the date on which shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.

Accordingly, the approval given if this Resolution is passed will cease to be valid on the earlier of 28 November 2013 or the date on which holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.

At the date of this Memorandum, the Company is an ‘eligible entity’, and therefore able to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, as it is not included in the S&P/ASX300 and has a market capitalisation less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million). If at the time of the Annual General Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.

The maximum number of ordinary shares which may be issued in the capital of the Company under the approval sought by this Resolution will be determined in accordance with the following formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2:

9

(A x D) – E

where:

  • A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (iii) 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 ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval);

  • (iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

  • 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.

The ability of the Company to make an issue under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

As at the date of this Memorandum, the Company has on issue 314,297,641 ordinary shares and therefore has capacity to issue:

  • 47,144,646 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • subject to shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3, 31,429,764 ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The issue price of the ordinary shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A will be determined at the time of issue. The minimum price at which the ordinary shares the subject of this Resolution will be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average market (closing) price (“ VWAP ”) of the Company’s ordinary shares over the 15 days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either:

  • the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • if the securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date referred to above, the date on which the securities are issued.

If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted. There is a risk that:

  • the market price for the Company’s ordinary shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval of this Resolution; and

10

  • the ordinary shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to market price for the Company’s ordinary shares on the issue date;

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue.

The table set out below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of:

  • The current market price of the Company’s ordinary shares and the current number of ordinary securities as at the date of this Memorandum.

  • Two examples where the number of ordinary shares on issue (“A”) has increased, by 50% and 100%. The number of ordinary shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary shares that do not require shareholder approval (for example, prorata entitlements issues) or as a result of future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved by shareholders.

  • Two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

Notes:

  • (i) The table assumes that the Company issues the maximum number of ordinary shares available under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (ii) The table assumes that no options are exercised in ordinary shares before the date of the issue of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (iii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of issues of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of this Memorandum.

  • (iv) The table shows the effect of an issue of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

11

  • Any issue of ordinary shares is required to be made in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. Any issue made other than under the Company’s 15% capacity (Listing Rule 7.1) or the Company’s additional 10% capacity (Listing Rule 7.1A) and not otherwise made under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (for example, a pro-rata rights issue) would require shareholder approval.

  • ** Based on closing price of the Company’s shares on ASX on 10 October 2012.

If this Resolution is approved the Company will have the ability to issue up to 10% of its issued capital without further shareholder approval and therefore allow it to take advantage of opportunities to obtain further funds if required and available in the future.

As at the date of this Memorandum, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A to any particular person or at any particular time. The total amount that may be raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on the issue price of the ordinary shares which will be determined at the time of issue. In some circumstances the Company may issue ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A for non-cash consideration (for example, in lieu of cash payments to consultants, suppliers or vendors). While the Company has not formed an intention to offer any ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, some of the purposes for which the Company may issue ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A include (but are not limited to):

  • Raising funds to further develop the Company’s business;

  • Raising funds to be applied to the Company’s working capital requirements;

  • Acquiring assets. In these circumstances the issue of the ordinary shares may be made in substitution for the Company making a cash payment for the assets. If the Company elects to issue the ordinary shares for the purpose of acquiring assets then the Company will release to the market a valuation of the assets prior to issuing the shares.

  • Paying suppliers or consultants of the Company.

Details regarding the purposes for which any particular issue under Listing Rule 7.1A is made will be more fully detailed in an announcement to the ASX made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A4 and Listing Rule 3.10.5A at the time the issue is made. The identity of the allottees of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A will be determined at the time the Company decides to make an issue having regard to a number of factors including:

  • the capital raising and acquisition opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds or acquiring assets that are available to the Company;

  • the potential effect on the control of the Company;

  • the Company’s financial situation and the likely future capital requirements; and

  • advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.

Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties including professional and sophisticated investors, existing shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of ordinary shares.

12

The allocation policy the Company may adopt for a particular issue of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A and the terms on which those ordinary shares may be offered will depend upon the circumstances existing at the time of the proposed capital raising under Listing Rule 7.1A. Subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Directors reserve the right to determine at the time of any issue of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy the Company will adopt for that issue.

The Company has not previously obtained the approval of ordinary shareholders for the issue of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.

This Resolution is a special resolution. For a special resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes validly cast on the resolution by shareholders (by number of shares) must be in favour of the resolution.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 5 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

ENQUIRIES

Shareholders are asked to contact Mr Andrew Whitten, Company Secretary, on (+61 2) 8072 1400 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in these documents.

How to complete this Proxy Form

For your proxy vote to be effective, your completed Proxy Form must be received by 10am (AEDT) on Monday 26[th] November 2012

Step 1: Appointing a proxy

If you are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting, you may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting and vote on your behalf. A proxy can be an individual or a body corporate and need not be a securityholder. You may select the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy.

Appointing a second proxy: You can appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you must specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise. If no percentage is specified, each proxy may exercise half of your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. A separate Proxy Form must be used for each proxy.

Default to the Chairman of the meeting : Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the meeting will automatically default to the Chairman of the meeting, who is required to vote those proxies as directed.

Proxy voting by key management personnel: The key management personnel of PLD Corporation Limited (which includes each of the Directors) and any other persons who are key management personnel of the Company at the date of the meeting) and their closely related parties will not be able to vote as your proxy on Resolution 1 unless you direct them how to vote. If you intend:

  • (a) to appoint a member of the key management personnel or one of their closely related parties as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on Resolution 1; or

  • (b) to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by either marking the boxes for Resolution 1 (for example if you wish to vote against or abstain from voting) or by marking the Chairman’s box on the proxy form (in which case the Chairman of the meeting will vote in favour of Resolution 1).

Additional Proxy Forms: You can obtain additional Proxy Forms by telephoning the Company or you may copy this Form. Please lodge both Proxy Forms together.

Step 2: Voting directions

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark () in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions. If you mark the “Abstain” box for an item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that item. If you mark more than one box for an item, your vote on that item will be invalid.

Voting a portion of your holding: You may indicate that only a portion of your voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting a percentage or the number of securities you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. The total of votes cast, or the percentage for or against, an item must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

No directions: If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses.

Step 3: Signing instructions

Individual: The Proxy Form must be signed by the securityholder personally or by Power of Attorney (see below).

Joint holding: The Proxy Form must be signed by each of the joint securityholders personally or by Power of Attorney (see below).

Power of Attorney: To sign under Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged the Power of Attorney with the Company. If you have not previously lodged that document, please attach a certified copy of the Power of Attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

Companies: For a corporate securityholder, if the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign this Proxy Form. If the company does not have a company secretary (under section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001 (“ Act ”)), its sole director must sign this Proxy Form. Otherwise, a director must sign jointly with either another director or a company secretary in accordance with section 127 of Act. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

Corporate representative: If a representative of a corporate securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting, the appropriate Certificate of appointment of Corporate Representative must be produced before the meeting. A form of the certificate may be obtained by telephoning the Company .
