Aruma Resources Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

ARUMA RESOURCES LIMITED ACN 141 335 364

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in this Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF NOVEMBER 2019 PLACEMENT OF SHARES UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1A

1.1 General

On 25 October 2019, the Company announced to ASX a placement of 52,000,000 Shares at a price of 0.5 cents per Share to sophisticated investor clients of Rawson Lewis to raise $260,000 ( Placement ) to be used for ongoing exploration of Aruma’s existing gold projects including costs associated with an RC drilling program of high priority targets identified from an airborne electromagnetic survey, costs of the issue and general working capital.

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 period.

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%.

An " eligible entity " means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes and obtained approval at its 2018 annual general meeting to the additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company is therefore able to issue equity securities up to a combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval within the limits provided.

The Placement was completed on 4 November 2019 using the additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A and without the need for Shareholder approval.

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 or Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be) and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under the relevant rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to utilise its additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Placement will be included in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A.

1.2 I nformation required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Shares were issued to sophisticated investor clients of Rawson Lewis exempt from or outside the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. None of the subscribers is a related party of the Company;

Aruma Resources Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

  • (b) the number of securities issued was 52,000,00 Shares;

  • (c) the Shares were fully paid ordinary shares issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Shares were issued on 4 November 2019;

  • (e) the Shares were issued at a price of 0.5 cents per Share;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue was to raise funds from the Placement which are to be used as set out in Section 1.1 above;

  • (g) the Shares were not issued under a relevant agreement; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

2. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – RATIFICATION OF JUNE 2020 PLACEMENT OF SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A – FIRST TRANCHE

2.1 General

As announced on 5 June 2020, the Company is undertaking a capital raising of up to $800,000 through the issue of up to 200 million Shares at a price of 0.4 cents per Share ( June 2020 Placement ) to fund ongoing exploration of Aruma's existing Western Australian gold projects including the newly secured Pilbara tenements; evaluation of the Capital Gold Project located in NSW (subject to completion of the acquisition); costs of the raising; and general working capital. One free attaching unlisted option will be issued for every three Shares issued in the June Placement (Attaching Option).

The June 2020 Placement is being undertaken in two tranches. The first tranche comprised of the issue of 112,000,000 Shares at the issue price of 0.4 cents per Share to raise $448,000 (First Tranche). The Company undertook the First Tranche by relying on its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. Resolutions 2 and 3 seek Shareholder approval to ratify the issue under the First Tranche.

98,600,000 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 2) and 13,400,000 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A capacity (being the subject of Resolution 3) which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held 15 November 2019.

The second tranche comprises the remaining 88,000,000 Shares to be issued under the June 2020 Placement as well as the Attaching Options (Second Tranche). The issue of the Second Tranche is subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 4.

As summarised in Section 1.1 above, Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A limit the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without shareholder approval.

Resolutions 2 and 3 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares the subject of the First Tranche.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the 98,600,000 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the 98,600,000 Shares will be included in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the 13,400,000 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A until 14 November 2020.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the 13,400,000 Shares will be included in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A until 14 November 2020.

2.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 2 and 3:

  • (f) the purpose of the issue was to raise funds to be used as set out in Section 2.1 above;

  • (g) the Shares were not issued under a relevant agreement; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

3. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES AND OPTIONS FOR THE SECOND TRANCHE OF JUNE 2020 PLACEMENT

3.1 General

The Company is proposing to issue up to 88,000,000 Shares at an issue price of 0.4 cents per Share and 66,666,667 free Attaching Options to raise up to $352,000, as the Second Tranche of the June 2020 Placement. The issue of these securities is subject to Shareholder approval.

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the securities the subject of this Resolution does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the 88,000,000 Shares and 66,666,667 Attaching Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue.

3.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) the Second Tranche Shares and Attaching Options will be issued to sophisticated investors exempt from or outside the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. None of the subscribers will be a related party of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Second Tranche Shares is 88,000,000. The Second Tranche Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares on issue;

  • (c) the maximum number of Second Tranche Attaching Options is 66,666,667. The Attaching Options have an exercise price of 1 cent and an expiry date of 31 July 2022. The full terms of the Attaching Options are set out in Schedule 1 to the Notice;

  • (d) the Second Tranche Shares and Attaching Options will be issued 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);

Aruma Resources Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

9

  • (e) the issue price of the Second Tranche Shares will be 0.4 cents per Share;

  • (f) the Attaching Options will be issued for no cash consideration;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Second Tranche Shares was to raise funds to be used as set out in Section 2.1 above. No funds will be raised from the issue of the Attaching Options;

  • (h) the securities are not being issued under a relevant agreement; and

  • (i) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES FOR THE ACQUISITION OF AUGUSTUS MINING PTY LTD

4.1 General

On 5 June 2020 the Company announced it had entered into a share purchase agreement (Agreement) to purchase Augustus Mining Pty Ltd which owns the Capital Gold Project (ELA 5955 and ELA 5956) in Goulburn region of NSW. The Agreement is subject to 21 days due diligence, provides for warranties from all parties consistent with a transaction of this nature and any other regulatory approvals required. Under the Agreement, the consideration for the purchase of the Augustus Mining Pty Ltd is the issue of 5,000,000 Shares. The issue of the consideration Shares is subject to Shareholder approval.

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Shares the subject of this Resolution does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue and complete the contractual commitment. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company intends to comply with its contractual commitment to issue the Shares the subject of this Resolution when it has placement capacity to do so. The use of such placement capacity will decrease the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue.

4.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to the shareholders of Augustus Mining Pty Ltd or their nominees. None of the parties will be a related party of the Company;

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of Shares as the Shares are being issued for the purpose of consideration for the purchase of Augustus Mining Pty Ltd;

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE MEETING, PLEASE BRING THIS FORM WITH YOU. THIS WILL ASSIST IN REGISTERING YOUR ATTENDANCE.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS

This form shows your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.

APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY

If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES

If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.

SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM

Individual:

Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.

Joint Holding:

DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING

If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting.

VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.

PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if he is appointed by default) but do not direct him how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as he sees fit on that resolution.

APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy, you must:

  • (a) On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and

  • (b) Return both forms together.

COMPLIANCE WITH LISTING RULE 14.11

In accordance to Listing Rule 14.11, if you hold shares on behalf of another person(s) or entity/entities or you are a trustee, nominee, custodian or other fiduciary holder of the shares, you are required to ensure that the person(s) or entity/entities for which you hold the shares are not excluded from voting on resolutions where there is a voting exclusion. Listing Rule 14.11 requires you to receive written confirmation from the person or entity providing the voting instruction to you and you must vote in accordance with the instruction provided.

Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.

Power of Attorney:

If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies:

Where the company has a Sole Director, who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
