N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D
Information about proxy voting
Please read the following information carefully if you intend to appoint a proxy to attend the Meeting and vote on your behalf.
Appointment of proxies
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting may appoint one or, if the Shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the Meeting, two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company and can be either an individual or a body corporate.
Voting by proxies
The appointment of a proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where two proxies are appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (ie. each proxy may exercise half the votes). If a proxy is not directed how to vote on a resolution, the proxy may vote or abstain from voting on that resolution as they see fit.
Non-attendance by nominated proxy
If a proxy form is returned and no person or body corporate is named as the proxy or the nominated proxy does not attend the meeting, or does not vote on the resolution, the chair of the Meeting will act as proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions.
How the chair of the meeting will vote undirected proxies
The chair of the Meeting will vote undirected proxies in favour of each Resolution on which the chair is entitled to vote as proxy. Proxy appointments in favour of any other Director or the Company Secretary that do not contain a direction on how to vote will be used where possible to support the resolutions proposed in the Notice.
Important information concerning proxy votes for Resolution 3
The Corporations Act places certain restrictions on the ability of Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties to vote on resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Company’s Key Management Personnel.
For these reasons, Shareholders who intend to vote by proxy should carefully consider the identity of their proxy and are encouraged to direct their proxy as to how to vote on all Resolutions. If you do not do so, you risk your vote not being cast.
If you appoint the chair of the Meeting as your proxy but do not direct the chair how to vote in respect of Resolution 3, you are providing express authorisation for the chair of the Meeting to vote your proxy in relation to Resolution 3, notwithstanding that it is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, which includes the Chairman .
As noted above, the chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3. Accordingly, if you appoint the chair of the Meeting as your proxy (including an appointment by default) and you wish to vote differently to how the chair of the Meeting intends to vote on Resolution 3, you must mark ‘against’ or ‘abstain’ on the proxy form for the relevant Resolution.

N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D
Voting Exclusions and Prohibitions
Resolution 1 – In accordance with Listing Rule 14.11.1, the Company is required to disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by a person or an associate of a person who participated in the placement described in the Explanatory Statement. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
-
it is cast by the chair of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
Resolution 2 – In accordance with Listing Rule 14.11.1, the Company is required to disregard any votes cast on Resolution 2 by a person or an associate of a person who participated in the placement described in the Explanatory Statement. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
-
it is cast by the chair of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
Resolution 3 – The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 3 (in any capacity) by or on behalf of any Director (including Mr Geoff McDermott, Mr Kevin Wilson, Mr Colin Naylor and Mr John Dorward) and any of their associates. However, the Company need not disregard a vote on Resolution 3 if it is cast by:
-
a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
-
the chair of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
In accordance with the Corporations Act, a person appointed as a proxy must not vote, on the basis of that appointment, on Resolution 3 if the proxy is either:
-
a member of Key Management Personnel; or
-
a Closely Related Party of such a member,
and the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on that particular resolution.
However, this prohibition does not apply if the proxy is the chair of the Meeting and the appointment expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

Explanatory Statement
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to explain the resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company that is material to a decision on how to vote on those resolutions.
The Directors recommend Shareholders read the Notice and this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the glossary at the end of this document.
Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Securities under Listing Rule 7.1
Background
In November / December 2016, the Company raised $747,000 (before transaction costs) from a placement to qualified professional and sophisticated investors (the Placement ) of 19,676,430 Shares ( Placement Shares ) and 9,838,215 free attaching unlisted Options ( Placement Options ).
The Placement Shares were issued under the ASX Listing Rules as follows:
-
5,907,858 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 and are the subject of Resolution 1; and
-
13,768,572 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A and are the subject of Resolution 2.
All of the Placement Options were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 and are the subject of Resolution 1.
Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1, known as the ‘15% rule’, provides that, subject to certain exceptions, prior approval of shareholders is required for the issue of equity securities if the equity securities will, when aggregated with the equity securities issued by a company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of equity securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, provided the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such ratification is to restore a company’s maximum discretionary power to issue further securities up to the limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1. The Company confirms that the issue of the Placement Shares and Placement Options that are the subject of Resolution 1 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
Purpose of Resolution 1
Shareholder approval of Resolution 1 will replenish the Company’s placement capacity under the 15% rule and maximise the Company’s flexibility to make further placements to investors without prior Shareholder approval if the Board considers that it is in the Company’s interests to do so.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placement Shares and the Placement Options that are the subject of Resolution 1 will be counted towards the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.

Background
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 13,768,572 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A as outlined under the heading ‘Background’ in relation to Resolution 1.
Listing Rule 7.1A
Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities that have obtained shareholder approval by special resolution at the Company’s Annual General Meeting to issue equity securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capacity by placements over a 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
Approval for the 10% Placement Capacity may only be obtained at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. The Placement Shares that are the subject of Resolution 2 were issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for the 10% Placement Capacity that was given at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 13 November 2015.
Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, provided the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A. The effect of such ratification is to restore a company’s maximum discretionary power to issue further securities up to the limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company confirms the issue of the Placement Shares that are the subject of Resolution 2 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A.

Directors’ Recommendation
If Resolution 2 is passed, the 10% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1A will be renewed to the extent of the ratification. The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolution 3 – Approval of issue of Options to Mr Geoff McDermott
Listing Rule 10.14 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a director of the company under an employee incentive scheme, such as the Company’s Option Plan. In accordance with Listing Rule 10.14, Shareholder approval is sought for the proposed grant of up to 3,000,000 Options to the Company’s Managing Director, Mr Geoff McDermott, under the Option Plan on the terms set out below.
The following table summarises the proposed Option grant to Mr McDermott:
| Tranche | Number of Options | Test for grant | Exercise price | Expiry date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1,000,000 | VWAP over the Trading Days during the calendar month of December 2017 is 7.2 cents or higher |
7.2 cents | 31/12/2021 |
| 2 | 2,000,000 | VWAP over the Trading Days during the calendar month of December 2017 is 9.0 cents or higher |
9.0 cents | 31/12/2021 |
If Shareholder approval is obtained, it is intended the Options will be issued in January 2018, but in any event no later than 12 months after the Meeting or any adjournment of that Meeting. The Options will only be issued if the Board (excluding Mr McDermott) determines that the applicable tests for grant of those Options have been satisfied. This will be considered by the Board (excluding Mr McDermott) in January 2018, based on a recommendation from the Remuneration & Nomination Committee (excluding Mr McDermott).
Details of the specific terms applicable to the proposed Option grant to Mr McDermott are set out below.
7
N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D
Test for grant
The Options are divided into two tranches. The first tranche comprises 1,000,000 Options and the second tranche comprises the remaining 2,000,000 Options. The test for the grant of the Options is the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of Shares over the Trading Days during the calendar month of December 2017 ( December 2017 VWAP ), as follows:
-
tranche 1: 1,000,000 Options will be granted if the December 2017 VWAP is 7.2 cents or higher (representing a 33% premium to the closing price of Shares on 22 February 2017 (5.4 cents) when the terms of the proposed Option grant were approved by the Board of Navarre); and
-
tranche 2: 2,000,000 Options will be granted if the December 2017 VWAP is 9.0 cents or higher (representing a 66% premium to the closing price of Shares on 22 February 2017).
Exercise price
The exercise price for tranche 1 will be 7.2 cents, and the exercise price for tranche 2 will be 9.0 cents. In the view of the Board (excluding Mr McDermott), these prices provide an appropriate hurdle to the exercise of the proposed Options.
Vesting
Each tranche of Options will vest in thirds, subject to the following vesting conditions, which must be satisfied or waived by the Company:
-
one-third will vest when the Company’s closing Share price exceeds the exercise price of the Options for ten consecutive Trading Days after the date of grant of the Options (at the first meeting of the Navarre Board in 2018);
-
one-third will vest when the Company’s closing Share price exceeds the exercise price of the Options for ten consecutive Trading Days after 1 January 2019; and
-
one-third will vest when the Company’s closing Share price exceeds the exercise price of the Options for ten consecutive Trading Days after 1 January 2020.
Mr McDermott must also be employed as Managing Director of the Company at the time when the relevant vesting condition is satisfied or waived.
Upon vesting, the Options are exercisable at any time prior to the expiry date. However, if Mr McDermott ceases employment as Managing Director of the Company, any vested Options held by him may be exercised within a period of 90 days following the cessation of employment, and in any event no later than their expiry date, after which time they will lapse.
Expiry date
The expiry date of the Options will be 31 December 2021.
Additional information required by Listing Rule 10.15
-
The maximum number of Options that may be issued to Mr McDermott if Resolution 3 is passed by Shareholders is 3,000,000.
-
Mr McDermott is a Director.
-
Each Option will be granted for nil consideration.
-
No Options have been issued to Directors or other related parties under the Option Plan since the last approval under the Listing Rules was obtained at the Company’s 2015 Annual General Meeting.
-
All Directors are entitled to participate in the Option Plan.
8
N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D
-
Voting exclusion statements apply to Resolution 3 as set out in the Notice.
-
Mr McDermott will not receive a loan in relation to the exercise of the Options.
-
If Shareholders do not approve the proposed grant of Options to Mr McDermott, the Company will need to consider other means of providing a long term incentive for the Managing Director, including providing a benefit to him in the form of cash.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board (other than Mr McDermott) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. Mr McDermott makes no recommendation.

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities 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. (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.
STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY
To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
Proxy which is a Body Corporate
Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.
Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 11:00am AEST on Wednesday 5 April 2017. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
