Voting in person

To vote in person, attend the Meeting on the date and at the place specified in the Notice. Shareholders are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting so that the Company may check their shareholdings against the Company’s share register and note attendances.

Voting by proxy

To vote by proxy, the attached proxy form and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed must be provided to the Company’s share registry, Boardroom Pty Limited, in the enclosed Reply Paid envelope, or in any of the following ways:

  • Online at https://www.votingonline.com.au/navarreegm2019

4819-8979-4193, v. 1

N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D

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 (i.e. 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 Resolutions 3 to 6 and 8 to 11

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 Resolutions 3 to 6 (inclusive), you are providing express authorisation for the chair of the Meeting to vote your proxy in relation to Resolutions 3 to 6 (inclusive), notwithstanding that they are 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 Resolutions 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11. 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 any of Resolutions 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 or 11, you must mark ‘against’ or ‘abstain’ on the proxy form for the relevant Resolution.

Voting Exclusions and Prohibitions

Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1

Background

In March 2019, the Company raised $5.94 million (before transaction costs) from a placement to qualified professional and sophisticated investors ( Placement ) of 79,200,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ). The Placement Shares were issued under the Listing Rules as follows:

  • 43,698,975 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 and are the subject of Resolution 1; and

  • 35,501,025 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A and are the subject of Resolution 2.

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 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 that are the subject of Resolution 1 will be counted towards the 15% limit under 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 35,501,025 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A as outlined under the heading ‘Background’ in relation to Resolution 1.

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 23 November 2018.

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.

Purpose of Resolution 2

Shareholder approval of Resolution 2 will replenish the Company’s additional 10% Placement Capacity 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.

Other information

A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 4 as set out in the Notice.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Naylor) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. Mr Naylor makes no recommendation.

Resolutions 5 and 6 – Approval of issue of Options to the Non-Executive Directors

Background

As noted above, 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 Option Plan. In accordance with Listing Rule 10.14, Shareholder approval is sought for the proposed grant of Options to each of the Non-Executive Directors under the Option Plan on the terms of the Option Plan and the additional terms set out below. The proposed grant of options to the Non-Executive Directors was announced to ASX on 28 February 2019.

If Shareholder approval is obtained, it is intended the Options will be issued shortly after the Meeting, but in any event no later than 12 months after the Meeting or any adjournment of that Meeting.

After considering the current structure of Non-Executive Director remuneration, the Company’s Remuneration & Nomination Committee concluded that the proposed issue of Options to the NonExecutive Directors is appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances, given the Company’s size and stage of development. For a small company with no cash generating assets, the grant of options is a useful tool to retain high-quality non-executive directors and to ensure that the remuneration paid to directors is competitive, without diminishing the Company’s cash reserves. Non-Executive Directors’ fees have not increased since the Company listed in 2011.

The following table summarises the proposed Option grants to the Non-Executive Directors:

Director Number of Options Exercise price Expiry date
Mr J Dorward
(Non-Executive Director)
650,000 12 cents Fifth anniversary of the date of issue of the
Options
Mr K Wilson
(Non-Executive Chairman)
800,000 12 cents Fifth anniversary of the date of issue of the
Options
Total 1,450,000

Details of the specific terms applicable to the proposed Option grants to the Non-Executive Directors are set out below.

Exercise price

The exercise price for the Options is 12 cents. This exercise price is aligned with the exercise price applicable to the Options that are proposed to be issued to the Managing Director, subject to Shareholders passing Resolution 3.

12

4819-8979-4193, v. 1

N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D

Vesting

The Options will vest in three tranches subject to the following vesting conditions, which must be satisfied or waived by the Company:

  • The first tranche of 483,334 Options (consisting of 216,667 Options to Mr Dorward and 266,667 to Mr Wilson) for each Non-Executive Director 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 issue of the Options;

  • The second tranche of 483,334 Options (consisting of 216,667 Options to Mr Dorward and 266,667 to Mr Wilson) for each Non-Executive Director will vest when the Company’s closing Share price exceeds the exercise price of the Options for ten consecutive Trading Days after the first anniversary of the date of issue of the Options; and

  • The third tranche of 483,332 Options (consisting of 216,666 Options to Mr Dorward and 266,666 to Mr Wilson) for each Non-Executive Director will vest when the Company’s closing Share price exceeds the exercise price of the Options for ten consecutive Trading Days after the second anniversary of the date of issue of the Options.

The Options will only vest if a Non-Executive Director is a Director at the time when each relevant vesting condition is satisfied or waived. If a Non-Executive Director ceases to hold office as a Director prior to a vesting date, that Non-Executive Director’s Options will lapse.

Upon vesting, each Non-Executive Director’s Options will be exercisable at any time prior to their expiry date. However, if a Non-Executive Director ceases to hold office as a Director, any vested Options held by the Non-Executive Director may be exercised within a period of 90 days following the cessation of office, and in any event no later than their expiry date, after which time they will lapse.

Expiry date

The expiry date of the Options to be granted to the Non-Executive Directors will be the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Options are issued to the Non-Executive Directors. As noted above, it is intended that the Options will be issued as soon as possible after the Meeting.

Additional information required by Listing Rule 10.15

  • The maximum number of Options that may be issued to the Non-Executive Directors if Resolution 5 and Resolution 6 are all passed by Shareholders is 1,450,000 in total, comprising:

  • 650,000 to Mr Dorward; and

  • 800,000 to Mr Wilson.

  • Each of Mr Dorward and Mr Wilson are Directors.

  • 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 Extraordinary General Meeting held on 10 April 2018.

  • All Directors are entitled to participate in the Option Plan.

  • None of the Non-Executive Directors will receive a loan in relation to the exercise of the Options.

  • If Shareholder approval is obtained, it is intended that the relevant Options will be issued to the Non-Executive Directors shortly after the Meeting, but in any event no later than 12 months after the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting.

Resolution 7 – Issue of Options to the Hartleys’ subsidiary Zenix Nominees Pty Ltd

Background

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and all other purposes, to issue 4,000,000 Fee Options to Zenix Nominees Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Hartleys, as part consideration for Hartleys role as manager for the recently completed Placement. The issue of Fee Options is in accordance with the terms of the engagement with Hartleys. The exercise price for the Fee Options is $0.1313 which is a 175% premium to the 7.5 cent per Share price at which the Placement was undertaken.

Listing Rule 7.1

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.

The effect of Resolution 7 will be to allow the Company to issue the Fee Options pursuant to the engagement with Hartleys, which form part of the fees payable in respect of its participation in the recently completed Placement, without diminishing the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity. The effect of the issue of the Fee Options on the capital structure of the Company can be summarised by noting that, unless the Fee Options are exercised, there will be no changes to the Shares on issue as a result of the issue of Fee Options.

Additional information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Fee Options:

Date of issue 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) and it is intended
that issue of the Options will occur on the same date
Securities issued 4,000,000 Fee Options

Intended use of funds from
the issue of the Fee
Options (after payment of
issue costs and expenses)

issued for nil cash consideration. If all Fee Options are exercised, the Company will
receive a total of $525,200, which will be used for working capital purposes

Resolution 11 – Approval of Navarre Minerals Limited Option Plan

Background

Resolution 11 seeks shareholder approval of the Option Plan.

16

4819-8979-4193, v. 1

N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing equity securities which in aggregate exceed 15% of its fully paid ordinary share capital in any twelve month period, unless an exception applies. Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9, provides that this rule does not apply to the issue of securities by the company under an employee incentive scheme if, in the case of a scheme established before the company was listed, a summary of terms of the scheme were set out in the prospectus, product disclosure statement or information memorandum, or in any other case, the scheme has been approved by shareholders within three years before the date of issue of the relevant securities.

In the Company’s case, the Option Plan was last approved by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting on 13 November 2015 which approval lapsed on 13 November 2018. As announced by the Company on 28 February 2019, the Board has agreed to issue, but has not issued:

  • 3,000,000 Options to Mr G McDermott, which are the subject of Resolution 4;

  • 1,650,000 Options to Mr C Naylor, which are the subject of Resolution 5;

  • 650,000 Options to Mr J Dorward, which are the subject of Resolution 6; and

  • 800,000 Options to Mr K Wilson, which are the subject of Resolution 7.

As also announced on 28 February 2019, the Board has approved the issue of 2,100,000 Options to employees of the Company. Though issued after the lapse of the previous approval, the 2,100,000 Options were included within the 15% Placement Capacity.

The Board believes that it is valuable to maintain maximum flexibility in relation to future capital raisings (for example, if the Board determines that it would be in the best interests of the Company to issue equity to Directors or management in lieu of fees or salary). Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval of the Option Plan, including the issue of securities under the Option Plan, for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9, and for all purposes of the Listing Rules and for all other purposes.

Overview of the Option Plan

Eligibility and grant of Options

The Company may offer Options to any eligible person, including employees of the Company (whether full-time or part-time) and Directors, at such times and on such terms as the Board considers appropriate. The number of Options that may be issued under the Option Plan, when aggregated with the number of Options that have been issued in the previous five years under the Option Plan, must not exceed 5% of the Shares on issue at the time of the grant of the Options.

Consideration

Options issued under the Option Plan are granted for no consideration.

Exercise price and vesting date

The exercise price and vesting date for Options granted under the Option Plan will be fixed by the Board before the grant is made. The minimum exercise price will not be less than any minimum price specified in the Listing Rules.

Restrictions and duration of Options

Unless a date is determined by the Board in its absolute discretion, each Option granted under the Option Plan expires on the earliest of termination of employment or directorship, or six years after the date of issue.

17

4819-8979-4193, v. 1

N A V A R R E M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D

Exercise restrictions

The Options granted under the Option Plan may be subject to such other restrictions on exercise as may be fixed by the Board prior to grant. Any restrictions so imposed by the Board must be set out on the employee option certificate.

Options granted under the Option Plan may only be exercised by Directors and employees during the exercise period in the period permitted by the Company’s securities trading policy.

Exercise of Options

Options granted under the Option Plan must be exercised before they expire, otherwise they lapse. Subject to the satisfaction of any exercise conditions, an Option may be exercised by an Option holder at the following times and in the following circumstances:

  • during the exercise period;

  • within 90 days of the retirement of the eligible person;

  • within 120 days of the death or total and permanent disablement of the eligible person (as determined by the Board in its absolute discretion); and

  • where a change in control occurs, at any time within 10 Business Days of the change of control occurring. A change of control means the occurrence of an event or circumstance where a person who is not presently able to do any of the following things becomes able to do one of the following things (whether directly or indirectly or though one or more intervening persons, companies or trusts):

  • control the composition of more than one half of the Board;

  • be in a position to cast, or control the casting of more than half of the maximum number of votes that might be cast a general meeting of Shareholders; or

  • hold or have a beneficial interest in more than one half of the issued share capital of the Company.

Participation in dividends, rights issues, bonus issues and pro rata issues

Options granted under the Option Plan do not give any right to participate in dividends or rights issues until Shares are allotted pursuant to the exercise of the relevant Option. The number of Shares issued on the exercise of Options granted under the Option Plan will be adjusted for bonus issues made prior to the exercise of those Options.

If the Company makes a pro rata issue of Shares, the exercise price of each Option granted under the Option Plan will be reduced in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 6.22 or its successor.

Subdivision or consolidation

If the Company, after having granted any Options under the Option Plan, reduces its issued Share capital or subdivides or consolidates its Shares, the number of the Shares issued to the Option holder on exercise of an Option granted under the Option Plan will be reduced, subdivided or consolidated, as the case may be, in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Non-exclusivity

The Option Plan will not preclude the authorisation of other forms of incentive compensation for employees of the Company.

Other information

A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 11 as set out in the Notice.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.

Resolution 12 – Ratification of issue of Options to employees of the Company

Background

Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of 2,100,000 Options that were issued to employees of the Company under the Option Plan on or about 21 February 2019.

The Options are exercisable in three tranches based on the Company’s share price as set out below:

Tranche Number of
Options
Vesting criteria
1 700,000 Price of Shares exceeds 12 cents for ten consecutive Trading Days after 21
February 2019
2 700,000 Price of Shares exceeds 12 cents for ten consecutive Trading Days after 21
February 2020
3 700,000 Price of Shares exceeds 12 cents for ten consecutive Trading Days after 21
February 2021

Listing Rule 7.4

As discussed above in relation to Resolution 1, Listing Rule 7.1 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 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 Options to the employees that are the subject of Resolution 12 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.5

By ratifying the issue of the Options, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to its total placement capacity without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to obtaining approval of Resolution 12 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4:

Number of securities issued 2,100,000 Options
Price at which securities were
issued
$nil per Option
Exercise price $0.12 per Option
Terms of the Employee
Options
The grant date of the Options was 21 February 2019.
The expiry date of the Options is 12 February 2024
