4. Information Relating to Resolution 3 – Ratification of Placement of Shares

4.1 Background

On 10 April 2014, the Company announced that it had agreed to issue 20 million Shares at 2.8 cents each to raise $560,000 (the Placement). The funds were raised to fund targeted exploration programs on the Company’s Glandore gold project and Bulloo Downs copper project; general working capital; and costs associated with the issue. The Placement was made to sophisticated investors under the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The issue of the Shares occurred on 14 April 2014.

Of the 20,000,000 Shares issued in the Placement, 16,800,000 Shares were placed pursuant to the Company's 15% placing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 3,200,000 Shares were placed pursuant to the Company's additional 10% placing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A that was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 15 November 2013.

Resolution 3 seeks the ratification of the issue of 20,000,000 Shares issued at a price of 2.8 cents per Share to raise $560,000 issued under the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

4.2 ASX Listing Rules

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.1A further provides that a company may seek approval at its annual general meeting to issue up to a further 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period commencing on the annual general meeting date. The Company received approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 15 November 2013.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

Issues of securities made under Listing Rule 7.1A can also, after they have been made, be ratified under Listing Rule 7.4. This has the effect of refreshing the Company's ability to issue shares within the additional 10% limit, and restoring the Company's ability to make placements within that limit (if that is thought desirable) without the need for shareholder approval.

Aruma Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

9

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 or a further 10% under Listing Rule 7.1A until the Company’s next annual general meeting without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.5 provides that for Shareholders to approve an issue subsequently, the notice of meeting must include particular information. This information is as follows:

  • (a) The number of securities issued was 20,000,000 Shares. 16,800,000 Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 3,200,000 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (b) The Shares were issued at a price of 2.8 cents per Share;

  • (c) The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company's current issued Shares;

  • (d) The Shares were issued to sophisticated, professional and other investors who are exempt from the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. The allottees are not related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) The funds raised from this issue were used to fund exploration on the Company’s Glandore gold project and Bulloo Downs copper project; general working capital; and costs associated with the issue.

5. Information Relating to Resolution 4 – Ratification of Issue of Options

5.1 Background

The Company agreed to issue 2,500,000 Options to two parties that assisted in identifying and securing the Bulloo Downs copper project joint venture areas. The Options are exercisable at 5 cents and expire on 28 February 2017. The Options were issued on 8 August 2014.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Options.

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 4.2 above.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

5.2 ASX Listing Rules

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the approval under Resolution 4:

  • (a) 2,500,000 Options were issued;

  • (b) the Options were issued for nil cash consideration as they were issued in consideration for the assistance provided in identifying and securing the Bulloo Downs copper project joint venture areas;

  • (c) the Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1. Shares issued on exercise of the Options will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) 500,000 Options were issued to BM & SK Maguire and 2,000,000 Options to CL Ridley. Neither of the parties are related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) No funds were raised from this issue.

6. Resolution 5 – Approval of Employee Incentive Scheme

6.1 Background

In June 2011 the Board adopted the Aruma Resources Limited Employee and Officers Share Option Plan ( Option Plan ) to enable the Company to issue Options to eligible participants including employees and officers. The terms of the Option Plan were included in the notice of general meeting dated 25 October 2011 and approved by Shareholders in the meeting held 29 November 2011 for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) for a period of 3 years. .

The Option Plan is intended to provide an opportunity to eligible participants to participate in the Company's future growth and provide an incentive to contribute to that growth. The Option Plan is further designed to assist in retaining employees.

Aruma Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

10

A copy of the Option Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting and can be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (Phillip Macleod). In addition, a copy of the Option Plan will be made available for inspection at the Meeting. A summary of the Option Plan is set out in Schedule 2.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholders approval for the grant of Options (and any issue of Shares upon the exercise of those Options) under the Option Plan for a period of 3 years from the date of this Meeting in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)). This has the effect of extending the approval of Shareholders obtained on 29 November 2011 and which ceases on 28 November 2014.

6.2 Regulatory Requirements

Shareholder approval is not required under the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules for the establishment or operation of the Option Plan. However, Shareholder approval is being sought to allow the Company to rely on an exception to the calculation of the 15% limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on the number of securities that may be issued without shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) provides an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues of securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by shareholders are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date of shareholder approval of the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Shares under the Option Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

Shareholders should note that 400,000 Options exercisable at 9.3 cents each have previously been issued under the Option Plan. All these Options expired unexercised on 14 August 2014. Currently there are no Options on issue under the Option Plan.

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and officers and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Options under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

If an offer is made to a related party or person whose relation with the Company is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained, to participate in the Option Plan then separate Shareholder approval will need to be obtained under either ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

6.3 Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders approve the Option Plan for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) for a period of 3 years. It will allow the Company to issue securities for the benefit of participants of the Option Plan whilst preserving the Company's 15% limit of issuing securities and provide flexibility in the manner in which the Option Plan is managed.

7. Information Relating to Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 – Approval to Grant Options to Related Parties

Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 seek shareholder approval so that the Company may grant Options under the Option Plan (see Resolution 5) to each of the Directors Messrs Schwann, Boyatzis and Chong.

7.1 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act – Related Party Transactions

The proposed grant of Options to Messrs Schwann, Boyatzis and Chong as Directors in each case is a financial benefit to a related party requiring Shareholder approval under the Corporations Act in the absence of a specified exception applying.

The following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 6, 7 and 8.

(a) The Related Party to whom the Proposed Resolutions would permit the Financial Benefit to be given

The related parties are Peter Schwann (Resolution 6), Paul Boyatzis (Resolution 7) and Ki Keong Chong (Resolution 8) or their nominees.

Aruma Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

11

(b) The Nature of the Financial Benefit

The proposed financial benefit to be given is the grant of up to:

  • (i) 2,000,000 Options to Peter Schwann (or his nominee);

(ii) 1,000,000 Options to Paul Boyatzis (or his nominee); and

  • (iii) 500,000 Options to Ki Keong Chong (or his nominee).

The terms of the Options are set out in Schedule 3.

(c) Directors Recommendation and Basis of Financial Benefit

The Board currently consists of Peter Schwann, Paul Boyatzis and Ki Keong Chong.

By Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 the Company is proposing to grant Options to each of the Directors. In each case, the number of Options to be granted and the terms of the Options were negotiated by the Directors independent of the particular Director to be granted the Options.

The purpose of the Options is to provide each Director with added incentive to achieve the goals set by the Board and to add Shareholder value. The Options are issued as part of each Director's remuneration package and under the Option Plan.

The independent Directors in each case consider that the quantity of Options together with the terms of the Options in each case constitute an appropriate number to adequately incentivise the Directors in light of that Director's skill and experience and their current remuneration as detailed below.

The Company notes that the issue of the Options to Paul Boyatzis and Ki Keong Chong as non-executive Directors is not contrary to guidelines for non-executive remuneration in recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations as the Option terms do not include performance hurdles. The Board considers the grant of the Options to be reasonable in the circumstances given the Company's size and stage of development and the importance of maintaining the Company's cash reserves.

The independent Directors in each case recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions.

Mr Peter Schwann abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 6 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome as the recipient of the Options.

Mr Paul Boyatzis abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 7 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome as the recipient of the Options.

Mr Ki Keong Chong abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 8 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome as the recipient of the Options.

(d) Dilution

The passing of Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 would have the effect of granting up to 3,500,000 Options.

If any of the Options are exercised into Shares, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders. If all the 3,500,000 Options were exercised into Shares, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders by approximately 2.3% based on the total number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice being 149,304,167.

The actual dilution will depend on the extent of further equity raised by the Company and whether any Options are exercised.

(e) Total Remuneration Package of Related Parties

The remuneration received by Peter Schwann is $250,000 per annum as Managing Director and CEO and any statutory superannuation entitlement (currently 9.5% per annum).

The remuneration received by Paul Boyatzis (or his nominees) is $72,000 per annum as a Non-Executive Chairman’s fee.

The remuneration received by Ki Keong Chong is $30,000 per annum as a Director's fee.

(h) Valuation of Options

The Options will not be quoted on ASX.

The Company has valued the Options to be granted to the Directors or their nominees using the BlackScholes method.

The following assumptions have been made regarding the inputs required for the option pricing module:

Input Note
Number of options to related
parties
3,500,000
Underlying security spot price 3.5 cents 1
Exercise price 5.25 cents 2
Dividendrate Nil 3
Volatilityrate 82% 4
Risk freerate 2.86% 5
ExpiryDate 18 September 2017 6

Note 1 The underlying security spot price used for the purposes of this valuation is based on the closing price of Shares on the valuation date of 18 September 2014 which was 3.5 cents.

Note 2 The exercise price is 150% of the volume weighted average closing price for the 5 trading days prior to date of this Meeting. This example uses 150% of closing price on the valuation date.

Note 3 As at the date of the valuation, the Company had not forecast any future dividend payments. For the purposes of the valuation it is therefore assumed that the Company's share price is "ex-dividend", If dividend payments were forecast, the value of the Options would be reduced.

Aruma Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

13

Note 4 A volatility rate of 82% has been adopted. This rate has been calculated by reference to the closing price volatility for the Shares of the Company for the previous two years.

Note 5 The risk free rate is 2.86% based on the current Reserve Bank Treasury Bond rates.

Note 6 The Options expire 3 years from the date of grant being the date of this Meeting. For the purposes of this valuation an Expiry Date of 18 September 2017 has been used.

Based on the above assumptions the Options proposed to be issued to Directors have been valued as follows:

Number and Value of Options Number and Value of Options
Options
PeterSchwann 2,000,000 Options– 1.6 cents perOption(total value-$32,000)
Paul Boyatzis 1,000,000 Options– 1.6 cents perOption(total value-$16,000)
Ki Keong Chong 500,000 Options– 1.6 cents perOption(total value-$8,000)

(i) Other Information

The Directors do not consider that there are opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Options.

For accounting purposes, the Options will be recognised as an expense.

The Directors are not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision as to whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 6, 7 and 8.

7.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Peter Schwann, Paul Boyatzis and Ki Keong Chong are Directors and as such are related parties of the Company.

8. Information Relating to Resolution 9 – Approval for Additional Placement Capacity

8.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 permits entities to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period, subject to a number of exceptions.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities, which have obtained shareholder approval by special resolution, to issue Equity Securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ("Additional Placement Capacity").

The Company seeks Shareholder approval under Resolution 9 to be able to issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued is not fixed and will be determined in accordance the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (set out below).

8.2 Requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Eligible entities

An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX 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.

(b) Shareholder approval

Shareholders must approve the Additional Placement Capacity by special resolution at the annual general meeting.

  • (c) Equity Securities

Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has only one class of Equity Securities quoted on ASX being fully paid ordinary Shares. The Company also has unquoted Options on issue.

(d) Formula for calculating number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(AxD)-E

A The number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or
agreement:

plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under
an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12
months;

plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with the
approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
D 10%
E The number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to
issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing
Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

Aruma Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

15

(e) Interaction between ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The Additional Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company has 149,304,167 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be permitted to issue, a maximum of (as at the date of this Notice):

  • 22,395,625 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 14,930,416 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will be permitted to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue or agreement to issue the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out above).

The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Company to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without using the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

8.3 Information for Shareholders as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

  • (a) Minimum price

The issue price of the new Equity Securities will be no lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for securities in the relevant quoted class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price of the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 9 is passed and the Company issues securities under the Additional Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is the risk that:

  • the market price for the Company's existing Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue of the new Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price of the Company's existing Equity Securities on the issue date or the new Equity Securities may be issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

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

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • two examples where variable "A" has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example a pro rata entitlement issue) or future placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved by Shareholders in the future;

  • two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

This table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional Placement Capacity.

  • No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • 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%.

  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • The issue price is 3.5 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 18

  • September 2014.

The Company's ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to its ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (c) Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the Additional Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from 27 October 2014 (the date of this Meeting) and expires on the earlier of:

  • 26 October 2015, which is 12 months after this Meeting; or

  • the date that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking) (the " Placement Period ").

The Company will only issue and allot new securities during the Placement Period. The approval will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders' approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.

Aruma Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

17

(d) Purposes for which the new Equity Securities may be issued

The Company may seek to issue new Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • cash consideration to raise funds for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including the expenses associated with such acquisitions), continued expenditure on the Company's current assets and operations including the Glandore, Jundee South and Bulloo Downs projects and for general working capital; or

  • non-cash consideration for acquisition of new resources, assets, investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions) or for the payment of goods or services provided to the Company. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

  • (e) Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of new Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity will depend on the market conditions existing at the time of the proposed issue. The allottees will be determined at the relevant time having regard to factors such as:

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of new securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (as relevant).

As at the date of this Notice the allottees are not known but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders. No allottee under the Additional Placement Capacity will be a related party or associate of a related party. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for any Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.

If the Additional Placement Capacity is used to acquire new assets or investments then it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of the new assets.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A on the issue of any new securities.

  • (f) Details of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of Meeting

SCHEDULE 3

Terms and Conditions of Options to Related Parties (Resolutions 6 to 8)

  1. Each Option entitles the holder to one Share.

  2. The Options are exercisable at any time prior to 5.00 pm Western Standard Time on 27 October 2017 (" Expiry Date "). An Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Expiry Date.

  3. The exercise price of the Options is 150% of the 5 day volume weighted average closing price of Shares prior to the date of the Meeting.

  4. The Options will not be listed on ASX and may only be transferred with the consent of the Board of the Company.

  5. The Company will provide to each Option holder a notice that is to be completed when exercising the Options (" Notice of Exercise "). The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by completing the Notice of Exercise and delivering it together with payment to the secretary of the Company to be received any time prior to the Expiry Date (" Exercise Date ").

  6. Within 15 Business Days after the later of the following:

  7. (v) the Exercise Date; and

  8. (vi) when excluded information in respect to the Company (as defined in section 708A(7) of the Corporations Act) (if any) ceases to be excluded information,

but in any case no later than 20 Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:

  • (vii) allot and issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company; and

  • (viii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.

  • Shares issued on the exercise of the options rank equally with the then issued Shares.

  • There will be no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and the holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 7 business days after the issue is announced. This will give Optionholders the opportunity (where Options have vested, if applicable) to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  • If there is a bonus issue (" Bonus Issue ") to Shareholders, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue (" Bonus Shares "). The Bonus Shares must be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in the Bonus Issue, and upon issue will rank equally in all respects with the other Shares on issue as at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.

  • In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Expiry Date, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules.

Instructions for Completing Appointment of Proxy Form

  1. In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, a shareholder of the Company who is entitled to attend and cast two or more votes at a general meeting of shareholders is entitled to appoint two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

  2. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

  3. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  4. 2 directors of the company;

  5. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  6. for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in sections 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with sections 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of sections 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  2. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.

  3. In accordance with section 250BA of the Corporations Act the Company specifies the following for the purposes of receipt of proxy appointments:

Registered Office: Suite 33, 18 Stirling Highway Nedlands, Western Australia, 6009 Fax Number: +61 (8) 6389 0112 Email: [email protected] Postal Address: Locked Bag 2000, Nedlands, Western Australia, 6909
