This Explanatory Statement is provided to Shareholders of Kopore Metals Limited ( Kopore or the Company ) to explain the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 10am (WST) on 19 November 2018 at the offices of Discovery Capital Partners, Level 1, 50 Ord Street, West Perth, WA 6005 (Meeting) .
The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
Certain terms and abbreviations used in this Explanatory Statement have defined meanings which are explained in the Glossary appearing at the end of this Explanatory Statement.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
The first item of the Notice deals with the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 together with the Directors’ declaration, the Directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report. Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered. The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The reports are available on the Company’s website at www.koporemetals.com .
No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the accounts and on the business, operations and management of the Company.
The Chair will also provide Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions relevant to:
-
the conduct of the audit;
-
the preparation and content of the independent audit report;
-
the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of accounts; and
-
the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
Resolution 1: Non-Binding Resolution to adopt Remuneration Report
The Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2018 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the policy for the remuneration of the Directors and key executives of the Company. The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any share based compensation. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for a financial year.
The Chair must allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
10
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a Resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report Resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report ( Strike ) and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a Shareholder Meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for reelection at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2017 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2019 Annual General Meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

Resolution 4: Ratification of issue of 1,625,000 Shares to Virgo
On 12 June 2018, the Company issued 1,625,000 Shares to Virgo Business Solutions at a deemed issue price of $0.04 per Share, utilising the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, as part consideration for the Company’s acquisition of certain prospecting licences in Botswana, as announced on 12 June 2018.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides that a company may issue Equity Securities up to 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval. Prior shareholder approval is required if the issue or agreement to issue (when aggregated with other issues of equity securities made in the previous 12 months without shareholder approval) exceed the 15% limit.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of securities issued without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The purpose of such ratification is to restore the company’s power to issue further securities without shareholder approval within the 15% limit.
Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of the Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to provide flexibility for the Company to issue equity securities in the future under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Technical 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 the issue of the Shares the subject of this Resolution:
-
(a) 1,625,000 Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.04 per Share;

(b) the Shares issued are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(c) the Shares were issued to Virgo Business Solutions as part consideration for the Company’s acquisition of 100% of certain prospecting licences. Virgo Business Solutions is not a related party of the Company;
-
(d) no funds were raised by the issue of Shares; and (e) a voting exclusion statement has been included for the purposes of Resolution 4.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 9: Adoption of Employee Securities Incentive Plan

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the 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 no Equity Securities have previously been issued under this Plan.
The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key directors, employees and consultants and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Equity Securities under the Plan will provide selected participants with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
Any future issues of Equity Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relation with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained, will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 3. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary by e-mail to [email protected]. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.
Resolutions 10, 11 and 12: Approval to Issue Director Options
16
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, the Company intends to issue a total of 14,000,000 unlisted Options ( Director Options ) to Messrs Ferguson, Meagher and Ms Coates (or their respective nominee/s) as follows:
-
(a) 8,000,000 Director Options to Mr Ferguson (or his nominee) (pursuant to Resolution 10);
-
(b) 4,000,000 Director Options to Mr Meagher (or his nominee) (pursuant to Resolution 11); and
-
(c) 2,000,000 Director Options to Ms Coates (or her nominee) (pursuant to Resolution 12).
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS GENERALLY
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Messrs Ferguson and Meagher and Ms Coates are considered to be related parties of the Company as they are Directors. Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 provide for the grant of Director Options to Messrs Ferguson and Meagher and Ms Coates respectively, which is a financial benefit which requires Shareholder approval.
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS – CHAPTER 2E OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act the following information is provided.
The related parties to whom the proposed resolutions would permit the financial benefit to be given and the nature of the financial benefit
Subject to Shareholder approval, 8,000,000 Director Options will be granted to Mr Ferguson, 4,000,000 Director Options will be granted to Mr Meagher and 2,000,000 Director Options will be granted to Ms Coates, or their nominees.
The proposed financial benefit to be given is the grant of Director Options for no cash consideration to Messrs Ferguson and Meagher and Ms Coates as noted above.
The details of the financial benefit including reasons for giving the type and quantity of the benefit
The terms and conditions of the Director Options proposed to be granted are set out in Schedule 4 to this Explanatory Statement.
The Director Options are proposed to be issued under the Employee Securities Incentive Plan (“ Plan ”) and will be subject to the Plan rules. If, however, there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Director Options as set out in Schedule 4 and the Plan, the terms as set out in Schedule 4 prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
In the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider that the grant of these Director Options are a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to remunerate Directors, as opposed to cash remuneration.
Shareholders should note that for the reasons outlined above, it is proposed to grant Director Options to Mr Meagher and Ms Coates notwithstanding the guidelines contained in Box 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations which states that non-
17
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
executive Directors should not receive options or normally participate in schemes designed for the remuneration of executives. However, the Board considers the grant of Director Options to Mr Meagher and Ms Coates reasonable in the circumstances for the following reasons:
-
(a) to provide the Company the ability to structure fees in a cost-effective way; while being able to attract and retain the highest calibre of Directors to the Company; and
-
(b) maintaining cash reserves is important as the Company is not yet generating revenue.
In addition, it is not the Company’s intention to grant options to non-executive Directors on a recurring basis (i.e. annually) as the grant reflects the needs of the Company at this point in time.
Current Holdings
Set out below are details of each of Director’s relevant interest in Shares as at the date of this Notice:
| Director | Number of Shares | Number of Options |
|---|---|---|
| Grant Ferguson | 19,467,7171 | 10,000,0002 |
| Peter Meagher | 1,000,0003 | Nil |
| Shannon Coates | 1,001,6964 | 1,500,0005 |

16,179,302 Shares are held indirectly by Fehu Capital Pty Ltd (of which Mr Ferguson’s spouse is a director) as trustee for the Fehu Capital Trust (of which Mr Ferguson is a beneficiary) and 3,288,415 Shares are held indirectly by The Steele Group Pty Ltd (of which Mr Ferguson is a director) as trustee for the Fergus Trust (of which Mr Ferguson is a beneficiary).
-
The Options are exercisable at $0.06 each on or before 8 November 2020, and are held indirectly by Fehu Capital Pty Ltd (of which Mr Ferguson’s spouse is a director) as trustee for the Fehu Capital Trust (of which Mr Ferguson is a beneficiary).
-
Shares are held by Perpetual Trustees on behalf of the Peter Meagher Superfund.

-
The Options are exercisable at $0.06 each on or before 8 November 2020, and are held indirectly by Mr Simon Kimberley Coates (Ms Coates’ spouse) as trustee for The Kooyong Trust (of which Ms Coates is a beneficiary).
Dilution effect of grant of Director Options on existing members’ interests
The proposed Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 would have the effect of giving power to the Directors to grant a total of 14,000,000 Director Options on the terms and conditions as set out in Schedule 4 to this Explanatory Statement and as otherwise mentioned above.
As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has 542,576,400 Shares on issue and 55,007,500 outstanding unlisted Options.
If all of the Director Options are issued and exercised, and no other Shares are issued, existing Shareholders will be diluted by 2.52%.
If the 8,000,000 Director Options to be issued under Resolution 10 are exercised, Mr Ferguson's percentage holding in Shares would be 4.99% (assuming no existing Options are exercised on the basis that they are “out of the money” as at the date of this Notice, and that no other Shares are issued).
If the 4,000,000 Director Options to be issued under Resolution 11 are exercised, Mr Meagher's percentage holding in Shares would be 0.91% (assuming no existing Options are exercised on the basis that they are “out of the money” as at the date of this Notice, and that no other Shares are issued).
18
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
If the 2,000,000 Director Options to be issued under Resolution 12 are exercised, Ms Coates’ percentage holding in Shares would be 0.55% (assuming no existing Options are exercised on the basis that they are “out of the money” as at the date of this Notice, and that no other Shares are issued).
The market price of the Shares during the period of the Director Options will normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. At the time any Director Options are exercised and Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of the Director Options, the Shares may be trading at a price which is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options.
Director total remuneration packages
Messrs Ferguson and Meagher and Ms Coates’ fees per annum (including superannuation) and the total financial benefit to be received by them as a result of the grant of the Director Options the subject of Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 is as follows:
Resolutions 10, 11 |
and 12 is as follows: |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Director | Annual Fees (including superannuation) |
Short Term Incentive | Value of Director **Options1 ** |
| Mr Ferguson | $225,000 | Up to a maximum of 100% of annual base salary over a two year period at Board discretion and based on performance milestones. |
$43.923 |
| Mr Meagher | $60,000 | N/A | $34,790 |
| Ms Coates | $30,000 | N/A | $17,395 |
- Based on the indicative option valuation of $0.009 for Director Options with no vesting conditions, $0.007 for Director Options with a 12 month vesting condition, $0.006 for Director Options with a 24 month vesting condition and $0.004 for Director Options with a 36 month vesting condition, which is a theoretical valuation of each Director Option using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model ( Black Scholes Model ) (see below).
Valuation of Director Options
The Company has valued the Director Options to be granted to Messrs Ferguson and Meagher and Ms Coates using the Black Scholes Model. The value of an option calculated by the Black Scholes Model is a function of a number of variables. The valuation of the Director Options has been prepared using the following assumptions:
following assumptions: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | Issue Date | 12 month vesting |
24 month vesting |
36 month vesting |
| Share price | $0.25 | $0.025 | $0.025 | $0.025 |
| Exercise price | $0.045 | $0.045 | $0.045 | $0.045 |
| Expected life | 5 years | 5 years | 5 years | 5 years |
| Risk free interest rate | 2.73% | 2.73% | 2.73% | 2.73% |
| Volatility | 56% | 56% | 56% | 56% |
| Time (years to expiry) | 60 months | 48 months | 36 months | 24 months |
| Dividend Yield | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% |
The Company has calculated the value of each option based on the following assumptions:
-
(a) They have based the underlying value of each Share on the ASX's closing price of $0.025 (2.5 cents) on 27 September 2018;
-
(b) Risk free rate of return – 2.73% derived from the implied zero coupon yield from Australian government bonds as at 27 September 2018;
19
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
-
(c) Volatility of the share price of 56%, as determined from the historic volatility of the market price of the Company’s shares and the mean reversion tendency of volatilities;
-
(d) No adjustment has been made to the fair value of the Director Options for potential dilution; and
-
(e) The “Expected life” and “Risk free interest rate” reflect that the Director Options are not subject to an Employee Loan Scheme that permits the Company to grant financial assistance to employees (including salaried Directors) (or their permitted nominees) by way of a loan to enable them to exercise Options and acquire Shares.
Based on the assumptions, it is considered that the estimated average value of the Director Options is $0.009 for Director Options with no vesting conditions, $0.007 for Director Options with a 12 month vesting condition, $0.006 for Director Options with a 24 month vesting condition and $0.004 for Director Options with a 36 month condition.
Any change in the variables applied in the Black Scholes calculation between the date of the valuation and the date the Director Options are issued would have an impact on their value.
Company’s historical Share price
The following table gives details of the highest, lowest and latest price of the Shares trading on ASX over the past 12 months ending on 27 September 2018:
| Highest Price (cents) / Date | Lowest Price (cents) / Date | Latest Price / Date |
|---|---|---|
| $0.045 on 15 January 2018 | $0.02 on 18 September 2018 | $0.025 on 27 September 2017 |
Other Information
Under the Australian Equivalent of IFRS, the Company is required to expense the value of the Director Options in its statement of financial performance for the current financial year. Other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Statement, the Directors do not consider that from an economic and commercial point of view, there are any costs or detriments including opportunity costs or taxation consequences for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Director Options pursuant to Resolutions 10, 11 and 12.
Neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by the proposed Resolutions.
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS – LISTING RULES 10.14 and 10.15
Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

-
(h) voting exclusion statements have been included for the purposes of Resolutions 10, 11 and 12.
If approval is given for the grant of the Director Options under Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
Directors’ recommendation
All the Directors were available to make a recommendation. For the reasons noted above Messrs Ferguson and Meagher and Ms Coates decline to make a recommendation about Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 as they have a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions as they relate to the proposed grant of Director Options or, in line with ASIC Regulatory Guide 76: Related Party Transactions.
Resolution 13: Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity
As noted above, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. A summary of the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out above.
An entity will be eligible to seek approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A if: (a) the entity has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and (b) the entity is not included in the S&PASX 300 Index. The Company is an Eligible Entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $14M, as at 27 September 2018.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 13, the number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).
The Company is putting Resolution 13 to Shareholders to seek approval to issue additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. It is anticipated that funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be applied as set out in this Resolution below.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
21
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
The effect of Resolution 13 will be to permit the Company to issue the Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below), without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice the Company has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: KMT).
Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. The table below demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and

-

Resolution 13 is a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.
Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
The following information in relation to this Resolution 13 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A:
22
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
-
(a) Minimum Price: The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities in that class over the 15 Trading Days on which shares in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
If the Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, then, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market that demonstrates that the issue price of the securities complies with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
-
(b) Risk of economic and voting dilution: If Resolution 13 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is also a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
The table shows:
-
(i) examples of where Variable A is at its current level and where Variable A has increased by 50% and by 100%;
-
(ii) examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market price as at close of trade on 27 September 2018, being $0.025, (current market price), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and
-
(iii) the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are issued.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
(i) There are currently 542,576,400 Shares on issue.
-
(ii) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 27 September 2018.
-
(iii) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(iv) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval or ratification under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(v) No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, for the purposes of the above table, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised.
24
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
-
(vii) 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%.
-
(viii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be valid from the date of the Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting; and
-
(b) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), ( Additional Placement Period ) after which date, an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid.
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(a) cash consideration. If Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, the Company intends to use the funds for development of its existing assets, to acquire new assets or investments and/or general working capital purposes; or
-
(b) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets in, or complementary to, the resources sector. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will comply with the minimum issue price limitation under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will release the valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(a) the prevailing market conditions at the time of the issue;
-
(b) the purpose of the issue;
-
(c) the ability of the Company to raise funds at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and whether the raising of any funds under such placement could be carried out by alternative means such as an entitlements offer, a placement and another offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(d) the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of the proposed issued of Equity Securities;
-
(e) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(f) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(g) advice from its professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
25
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
-
The Company notes that:
-
(a) the Board has formed no specific intentions to offer any placement to any existing Shareholders, class of Shareholders or any new investors;
-
(b) the Board will always consider, prior to making any placement whether the raising of funds could be achieved by means of an entitlements issue to existing Shareholders; and
-
(c) if any issue is announced, the Company would disclose its reasons for undertaking that particular issue rather than an entitlements issue to existing shareholders, should that occur.
The recipients under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice. They may, however, include current Shareholders, substantial Shareholders and/or new investors none of whom will be related parties (or their associates) of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new assets or investments.
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:
-
(a) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
(b) the information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

" Market Price" means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.
-
In respect of quoted Equity Securities the "Current Value" is based on the closing price of the Shares ($0.025) on ASX on 27 September 2018. The value of unquoted Options is measured using the Black & Scholes pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the security, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the security. No account is taken of any performance conditions included in the terms of the security other than market based performance conditions (i.e. conditions linked to the price of Shares).
-
Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (ASX Code: KMT). Rights and liabilities are set out in the Constitution.
-
Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.06 each on or before 8 November 2020.

-
(ii) An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the "Market Value" of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities. "Market Value" means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 Trading Days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

(j) Forfeiture of Convertible Securities
Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:
36
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

-
(ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
(k) Change of control
If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
(l) Rights attaching to Plan Shares
All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, (Plan Shares) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
(m) Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares
If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:
-
(i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
-
(ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.
(n) Adjustment of Convertible Securities
If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
(o) Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
(p) Amendment of Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted
37
==> picture [120 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective, immediate or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
(q) Plan duration
The Plan continues until the Board decides to end it. The Board may suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
