Etango Heap Leach Demonstration Plant
Proposed Etango Dynamic Heap Leach Approach
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 9am (AWST), Tuesday, 30 June 2015 Level 2, 1 Altona Street, West Perth, Western Australia
Bannerman Resources Limited NOTICE OF MEETING
The Extraordinary General Meeting of Bannerman Resources Limited ( Bannerman or the Company ) will be held at Level 2, 1 Altona Street, West Perth, Western Australia at 9am (AWST) , Tuesday, 30 June 2015.
29 May 2015
Dear Shareholder
On 25 March 2015 Bannerman announced the completion and the official opening of the Heap Leach Demonstration Plant at the Etango Project in Namibia. This significant milestone and the timing of first test results in the June 2015 quarter coincide with the resurgence in the nuclear renaissance as is evidenced by the growing reactor development programs in the two most populous nations, China and India.
On 5 March 2015, the Company announced that it had initiated a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) to provide eligible Shareholders with the opportunity to subscribe for new Shares to raise maximum gross proceeds of up to A$2 million. The funds raised will be used to conduct the heap leach demonstration program and for general working capital purposes.
The SPP closed on 14 April 2015, raising A$407,500. As foreshadowed by the Company, following the close of the SPP, the Company sought to place the shortfall under the SPP with interested investors.
The Company was successful in securing placement commitments for the entire shortfall under the SPP as follows:
-
A$860,000 from existing Shareholder, Resource Capital Fund VI L.P. ( RCF VI );
-
A$250,000 from existing shareholder City Natural Resources High Yield Trust PLC ( CNR ); and
-
A$482,500 in aggregate from the Directors (also shareholders): Mr Len Jubber (A$400,000), Mr David Tucker (A$20,000) and myself (A$62,500).
The Board wishes to thank those participating shareholders for their ongoing endorsement of Bannerman’s strategy to further enhance the Etango Project’s early mover advantage.
Importantly, it is a sign of strong confidence in Bannerman that the Company has attracted the continuing support of our two major shareholders, and in particular that Len Jubber, our Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, is investing $400,000 of his own money.
The participation of the Directors in the shortfall placement is subject to obtaining Shareholder approval. Accordingly, Items 1, 2 and 3 of this EGM will ask Shareholders to approve the proposed issue.
Also, in order to retain the flexibility of the Company to raise further capital by issuing equity securities without the delays involved with seeking prior Shareholder approval, the Company is asking Shareholders to ratify the prior issue of Shares to RCF VI and CNR pursuant to Item 4.
On behalf of the Directors of Bannerman Resources Limited, please find enclosed the following documents which relate to the Extraordinary General Meeting ( EGM ) of the Company:
- Notice of Meeting for the EGM, including the Explanatory Notes; and
I encourage you to carefully read the attached Notice of Meeting and either attend the EGM in person or lodge your vote using the enclosed Proxy Form.
If you have any questions, please contact the Company Secretary of Bannerman, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
The Board (other than Mr Jubber, Mr Tucker and myself, who are unable to make a recommendation) unanimously recommends Shareholders to vote in favour of Items 1 to 3.
The Board (other than Mr Burvill, whose employer Resource Capital Funds Management Pty Ltd, is a related party of RCF VI, and who is unable to make a recommendation) unanimously recommends Shareholders to vote in favour of Item 4.
In the face of growing demand for uranium and with the strong support of existing shareholders Bannerman continues to advance the Etango Project, which remains one of the very few globally significant uranium projects that can realistically be brought into production in the medium term.
Yours sincerely

Bannerman Resources Limited EXPLANATORY NOTES
ITEMS 1 TO 3 – PARTICIPATION OF DIRECTORS IN SPP SHORTFALL PLACEMENTS
Background
On 14 April 2015, the Company’s A$2 million Share Purchase Plan (as announced on 5 March 2015) ( SPP ) closed, raising A$407,500. As foreshadowed, the Company subsequently sought to place the shortfall under the SPP ( SPP Shortfall ) with interested investors.
The Company, in addition to placing A$1.11 million with two existing institutional Shareholders, reached agreement to place A$482,500 of the SPP Shortfall to Ronnie Beevor, Len Jubber and David Tucker ( Relevant Directors ), subject to obtaining all necessary Shareholder approvals.
Each of these placees are Directors (with Len Jubber also being the Chief Executive Officer) of the Company.
Purpose of approval
Listing Rule 10.11 requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval to issue, or agree to issue, securities to a ‘related party’ (which includes a Director) unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply to the proposed issue of Shares to the Relevant Directors.
Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval under Items 1, 2 and 3, respectively, for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, to issue:
-
1,201,923 Shares to Mr Ronnie Beevor (or his nominee);
-
7,692,307 Shares to Mr Len Jubber (or his nominee); and
-
384,615 Shares to Mr David Tucker (or his nominee),
(together the Director Shortfall Shares ).
Key terms of the Shares
Subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, each of the Director Shortfall Shares will be issued on the same terms, as set out below:
Issue date As soon as practicable and in any event within one month of the Meeting.
Issue price of A$0.052 each Share
Terms of
The shares are to be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with all other ordinary shares on issue.
securities
Use of funds The funds raised from the issue are intended to be used to operate the Etango Heap Leach Demonstration Plant and for general working capital purposes
Amount paid for the Director Shortfall Shares
Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained, the Director Shortfall Shares are to be issued to each of the Relevant Directors for the following consideration.
| Number of Shares |
Amount per Share |
Total Amount |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Ronnie Beevor Len Jubber |
1,201,923 7,692,307 |
A$0.052 A$0.052 |
A$62,500 A$400,000 |
| David Tucker Total |
384,615 9,278,845 |
A$0.052 A$0.052 |
A$20,000 A$482,500 |
Listing Rule 7.1
If Shareholder approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 (as is being sought under Items 1 to 3), additional approval will not be required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in order to issue the Director Shortfall Shares. Accordingly, the issue of Director Shortfall Shares will not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity.
What if Shareholders do not approve the issue?
If Shareholders do not approve the issue of Director Shortfall Shares to any of the Relevant Directors, the Board may consider whether it should place any of the additional SPP Shortfall to alternative placees.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires shareholder approval where a public company seeks to give a “financial benefit” to a “related party” (unless an exception applies).
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, each of Mr Ronnie Beevor, Mr Len Jubber and Mr David Tucker are considered to be related parties of the Company and the
placement of the Director Shortfall Shares may constitute a financial benefit.
An exception to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E applies where the financial benefit would be reasonable in the circumstances if the company and the Relevant Directors were dealing at arm’s length.
The Board (other than Mr Beevor, Mr Jubber and Mr Tucker), considers that the issue of the Director Shortfall Shares satisfies this exception and constitutes arm’s length terms.
In reaching this conclusion, the Board has had regard to a variety of factors including that the Director Shortfall Shares were placed on the same key terms as those offered under the SPP, the RCF Placement and CNR Placement.
Voting exclusion statements
In accordance with ASX Listing Rules the Company will disregard any votes cast on:
-
Item 1 by or on behalf of (including by proxy) Mr Beevor and any of his associates;
-
Item 2 by or on behalf of (including by proxy) Mr Jubber and any of his associates; and
-
Item 3 by or on behalf of (including by proxy) Mr Tucker and any of his associates.
However, in respect of each of Items 1 to 3, the Company need not disregard a vote if the vote is cast as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote:
-
in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
-
by the Chair of the meeting in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
Board Recommendation – Items 1 to 3
The Board (other than Mr Beevor, Mr Jubber and Mr Tucker, who are unable to make a recommendation) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Items 1 to 3.
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Items 1 to 3.

Bannerman Resources Limited EXPLANATORY NOTES
ITEM 4 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES
Background
The Company agreed to place to:
-
Resource Capital Fund VI L.P. ( RCF VI ) A$860,000 of the SPP Shortfall; and
-
City Natural Resources High Yield Trust PLC ( CNR ) A$250,000 of the SPP Shortfall,
at the same price as eligible shareholders who subscribed for Shares under the SPP (being $0.052).
On 23 April 2015, the Company issued 16,538,461 Shares to RCF VI ( RCF Placement ). On 13 May 2015, the Company issued 4,807,692 Shares to CNR ( CNR Placement ).
Both the RCF Placement and CNR Placement were within the Company’s annual capacity to issue equity securities equivalent to 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities, under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 15% Capacity ).
Purpose of approval
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company must not issue more than the 15% Capacity within a 12 month period unless a specified exception applies or the issue is made with prior Shareholder approval.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue made by the Company (without Shareholder approval) to be treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, provided that:
-
it is subsequently ratified by Shareholders at a general meeting; and
-
the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time it was made.
Approval of Item 4 will provide the Company with greater available capacity to raise further capital by issuing equity securities, without the delays involved with seeking prior Shareholder approval.
The Board will only undertake further issues of equity securities if they consider it is in the best interests of the Company to do so.
Prior approval for RCF Entities
On 19 June 2014, Shareholders approved, amongst other things, for RCF IV, RCF VI and RCF Management ( RCF Entities ) to increase their collective voting power in the Company to a maximum of 43.0% by conversion of the
relevant convertible notes, the related Share issues and exercise of options held by RCF Management ( 2014 Approval ).
The 2014 Approval was given on the basis that if the RCF Entities’ circumstances change and the RCF Entities’ voting power increases as a result of an acquisition of Shares other than as contemplated under the 2014 Approval, this would not affect the maximum percentage that the RCF Entities were entitled to increase their voting power to.
It is intended that the relevant RCF Entities will still be permitted to be issued additional Shares as contemplated by the 2014 Approval, provided that their voting power remains at or below 43.0%.
Key terms of the Shares
Each of the Shares issued under the RCF Placement and the CNR Placement will be issued on the same terms and for the same purposes, as set out below:
Terms of The shares were issued on the same securities terms and conditions as the Company’s existing ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with all other ordinary shares on issue
Issue price of A$0.052 each Share
Use of funds The funds raised from the issue are intended to be used to operate the Etango Heap Leach Demonstration Plant and for general working capital purposes
Details of the placements
Further details of the RCF Placement and CNR Placement are summarised below:
| RCF Placement | CNR Placement | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of securities |
16,538,461 | 4,807,692 |
| Date of issue | 23 April 2015 | 13 May 2015 |
| Allottee | RCF VI | CNR |
Voting exclusion statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 4 by RCF VI, CNR and any of their associates.
However, in respect of Item 4, the Company need not disregard a vote if the vote is cast as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote:
-
in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
-
the Chairman of the meeting in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
Board Recommendation – Item 4
The Board (other than Mr Burvill, whose employer Resource Capital Funds Management Pty Ltd, is a related party of RCF VI, and who is unable to make a recommendation) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the ratification of the RCF Placement and the CNR Placement.
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Item 4.
