3. Resolution 1 Re-election of Director – Mr Stephen Parsons

3.1 General

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution (being a maximum of 9 as specified by clause 13.1 of the Constitution).

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

Mr Stephen Parsons was appointed as a Director on 31 March 2017 and accordingly retires and seeks re-election at this Meeting.

Information on the qualifications, skills and experience of Mr Parsons is set out below.

the subsequent takeover of the company for $100 million by a significant North American gold company in late 2016. Mr Parsons has 20 years’ experience in the mining industry with a proven track record of mineral discoveries, corporate growth, international investor relations and creating shareholder wealth.

4.2

Listing Rule 7.1

Subject to certain exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 prevents a company from issuing or agreeing to issue new securities, or other securities with rights of conversion to equity (such as an option), in any 12 month period which amount to more than 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities on issue without shareholder approval.

4.3

Listing Rule 7.1A

The Shares were issued to Mr Stephen Parsons in connection with him becoming a Director of the Company. Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 was not required for the issue of Shares to Mr Parsons, as Listing Rule 10.12 Exception 6 applied.

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

7. Resolution 6 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Director Options to Mr Stephen Parsons

7.1 General

On 31 March 2017, the Company appointed Mr Stephen Parsons to the Board of Directors and issued 30,000,000 Options to him (through his nominee) as part of his agreed remuneration package ( Director Options ), as follows:

Options exercisable at
$0.035 each on or
before 31 March 2020
Options exercisable at
$0.04 each on or before
31 March 2020
TOTAL
15,000,000 15,000,000 30,000,000

Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 was not required for the issue of the Director Options as Listing Rule 10.12 Exception 6 applied.

Shareholder approval was also not sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act (see Section 7.4 for a summary of Chapter 2E) as the Board considered that the issue

Page 14

of Director Options was reasonable remuneration which had been negotiated on arm's length terms.

Accordingly, Shareholder ratification is being sought only for the purpose of refreshing the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1, such that upon approval being obtained, the number of Equity Securities the Company will be entitled to issue under Listing Rule 7.1 will be increased by the total number of Director Options that were issued to Mr Parsons (through his nominee).

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification of the prior issue of the Director Options for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4.

7.2 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 Director Options were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.

7.3

Listing Rule 7.4

A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is provided in Section 4.4 above.

The Company confirms that the issue of the Director Options did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 6 by ratifying the issue of the Director Options will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further securities, to the extent of 30,000,000 Equity Securities, during the next 12 months. If Resolution 6 is not passed, the effect will be that the Company may lose its flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future.

7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit as Mr Stephen Parsons is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Board has considered the application of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and has resolved that the reasonable remuneration exception provided by section 211 of the Corporations Act is relevant in the circumstances and accordingly, the Company will not seek approval for the issue of the Incentive Options pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Page 15

7.5 Specific information required under Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of Director Options:

  • (b) the Director Options were issued at an issue price of nil;

7.6 Board Recommendation

Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

8. Resolution 7 – Approval of Employee Incentive Plan

8.1 General

The Company considers that it is desirable to maintain an incentive plan pursuant to which the Company can issue Equity Securities to eligible Directors, employees and consultants in order to attract, motivate and retain such persons and to provide them with an incentive to deliver growth and value to all Shareholders.

Accordingly, Resolution 7 seeks Shareholders' approval for the adoption of the employee incentive plan titled "Draig Resources Limited Employee Incentive Plan" ( Plan ) in accordance with exception 9(b) of Listing Rule 7.2.

Under the Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number and type of Equity Securities in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the Plan. A copy of the Plan is set out at Schedule 3.

Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in Section 7.2 above.

8.2

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 9(b)

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 9(b) provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 by which Equity Securities issued under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Page 16

If Resolution 7 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.

The Plan is a new employee incentive scheme and has not been previously approved by Shareholders. No Equity Securities have been issued under the current Plan since its approval by the Board. The Company notes that it previously had in place an employee incentive scheme ( Previous Scheme ). The Previous Scheme has now lapsed. The terms of the Previous Scheme were as follows:

  • Date Previous Scheme came into effect: 30 November 2011

  • Date Previous Scheme lapsed: 30 November 2014

  • Number of securities issued under Previous Scheme: 200,000 options which lapsed unexercised

Prior Shareholder approval will be required under Listing Rule 10.14 before any Director or related party of the Company can participate in the Plan.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, Shareholders must re-approve the Plan and all unissued Equity Securities issuable pursuant thereto every 3 years.

8.3

Board recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

9. Resolution 8 – Issue of Incentive Options to Mr Ray Shorrocks

9.1 General

Mr Ray Shorrocks joined the Board on 31 December 2015 and is the Company’s Chairman. Mr Shorrocks has over 20 years’ experience in corporate finance and has advised a diverse range of mining companies. Mr Shorrocks has been instrumental in managing and structuring equity capital raisings as well as having advised extensively in the area of mergers and acquisitions.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 7,500,000 Options to Mr Shorrocks (or his nominee) ( Incentive Options ).

The exercise price and expiry date of the Incentive Options are as follows:

Number of Options Exercise Price Expiry Date
7,500,000 130% of the volume
weighted average price of
Shares for the 5 Trading
Day period prior to issue
3 years after the date of
issue

Page 17

Further terms and conditions of the Incentive Options are set out in Schedule 4.

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue of Incentive Options seeks to align the efforts of Mr Shorrocks and the Company in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising by way of Options is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer such Options to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

9.2

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that an entity must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to a related party without the prior approval of Shareholders.

Mr Shorrocks is a related party of the Company by virtue of his position as a Director.

The effect of passing Resolution 8 will be to allow the Company to issue the Incentive Options to Mr Shorrocks (or his nominee) in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required.

9.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit as Mr Shorrocks is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Board has considered the application of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and has resolved that the reasonable remuneration exception provided by section 211 of the Corporations Act is relevant in the circumstances and accordingly, the Company will not seek approval for the issue of the Incentive Options pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.

9.4

Unless determined otherwise by the Board in its absolute discretion, or the relevant dealing is effected by force of law on death or legal incapacity to the Participant's legal personal representative, a Participant must not sell, assign, transfer, grant a Security Interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. The Convertible Security is forfeited immediately if the Board determines in its absolute discretion there has been a purported sale, assignment, transfer, dealing or grant of a Security Interest other than in accordance with these Rules.

5.3 Prohibition on hedging

A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

A Convertible Security will vest when a Vesting Notice in respect of that Convertible Security is given to the Participant.

6.2 Waiver of Vesting Condition

A Vesting Condition for a Convertible Security may, subject to Applicable Laws, be waived by the Board by written notice to the relevant Participant and on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board and set out in that notice.

7. Exercise of Convertible Securities

7.1 Exercise of Convertible Securities

  • (a) A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with clause 6, or such earlier date on which the Participant is entitled to exercise that Convertible Security in accordance with these Rules.

  • (b) To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must:

  • (i) deliver a signed Notice of Exercise; and

Employee Incentive Plan - Draig Resources Limited

Page 11

  • (ii) subject to clause 7.2, pay the Exercise Price (if any) to or as directed by the Company,

at any time prior to the earlier of:

  • (iii) any date specified in the Vesting Notice; and

  • (iv) the Expiry Date.

For the avoidance of doubt and subject to clause 7.2, the total Exercise Price payable by the Participant on exercise of their Convertible Securities is the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Convertible Securities being exercised by that Participant, rounded up to the nearest cent.

  • (c) If the Participant does not deliver a signed Notice of Exercise and (subject to clause 7.2) pay the Exercise Price to or as directed by the Company in relation to a Convertible Security by the requisite date, that Convertible Security will automatically be forfeited.

  • (d) Where a Convertible Security is granted under the Plan that is not able to be traded on an eligible financial market, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with paragraph 18A of ASIC Class Order 14/1000, the Exercise Price must be for no more than nominal monetary consideration.

7.2 Cashless exercise of Convertible Securities

An Invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities subject of the Invitation, 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 allot to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the then Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the Exercise Price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities (with the number of Shares rounded down to the nearest whole Share).

As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant in accordance with clause 7, the Company will:

  • (a) issue, allocate or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under these Rules;

  • (b) issue a substitute Certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant; and

  • (c) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors. If a notice under clause 8(c) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer of sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days

Employee Incentive Plan - Draig Resources Limited

Page 12

after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors

9. Forfeiture of Convertible Securities

These examples are not exhaustive.]

Where the Board determines that a Participant has:

9.3

Failure to satisfy Vesting Conditions

9.4

Insolvency

Unless otherwise stated in the Invitation or determined by the Board, a Convertible Security held by a Participant in accordance with these Rules will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Participant becomes Insolvent.

Other forfeiture events

9.6 Discretion to determine that the Convertible Securities are not forfeited

Notwithstanding clauses 9.1 to 9.5 (inclusive), the Board may decide (on any conditions which it thinks fit) that some or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will not be forfeited at that time, but will be forfeited at the time and subject to the conditions it may specify by written notice to the Participant.

Employee Incentive Plan - Draig Resources Limited

  • (d) Where clause 9.8(b) applies, the Company may seek or not seek shareholder approval in its discretion.

Employee Incentive Plan - Draig Resources Limited

Page 14

12. Rights attaching to Plan Shares

12.1 Plan Shares to rank equally

All Plan Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class for the time being on issue except for any rights attaching to the Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of the allotment or transfer of the Plan Shares.

12.2 Listing

If Plan Shares are in the same class as Shares which are listed on the ASX, the Company will apply for quotation of the Plan Shares issued (or any unquoted Plan Shares transferred) within the time required by the Listing Rules after the date of allotment.

12.3 Dividends

A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares which, at the closing date for determining entitlement to such dividends, are standing to the account of the Participant (or a Trustee for and on behalf of the Participant).

12.4 Dividend reinvestment plan

A Participant may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares held by the Participant (or a Trustee for and on behalf of the Participant). Shares issued under any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Plan Shares held by the Participant (or a Trustee for and on behalf of the Participant) unless the Board determines otherwise.

12.5 Voting rights

A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares held by the Participant (or a Trustee for and on behalf of the Participant).

13. Disposal Restrictions on Plan Shares

13.1 Disposal restriction

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, including but not limited to imposing an ASX Holding Lock (where applicable) on the Plan Shares or using an employee share trust to hold the Plan Shares during the relevant restriction period, and the Participant agrees to any such restrictions implemented under this clause 13.1.

13.2 Participant's undertaking

For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under this Plan, the Participant will not:

(a) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a Security Interest granted over that Plan Share; or

Employee Incentive Plan - Draig Resources Limited

Page 15

  • (b) 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.

13.3 Expiry of restriction

Subject at all times to the Share Trading Policy, upon the expiry of any disposal restrictions over a Plan Share, the Company will take all action necessary to ensure that the Participant can deal with that Plan Share.

13.4 Share entitlements

For the avoidance of doubt, the imposition of a disposal restriction on a Plan Share held by a Participant will not affect the Participant's entitlement to receive a notice of, or to vote or attend at, a meeting of the members of the Company, and to receive any dividends declared by the Company during the relevant disposal restriction period on that Plan Share. If an employee share trust arrangement is implemented in respect of this Plan, the Board may implement such procedures it deems appropriate to give effect to the intent of this clause 13.4.

14. Irrevocable Power of Attorney

In order to ensure compliance with these Rules, each Participant must grant an irrevocable power of attorney (in the form set out in the Invitation or such other form determined by the Board) to any person nominated from time to time by the Board.

15. Adjustment of Convertible Securities

15.1 Reorganisation

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.

15.2 Bonus Issue

  • (a) If Shares are issued by the Company pro rata to shareholders generally 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, in addition to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised and without the payment of any further consideration, an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to a shareholder who, on the date for determining entitlements under the bonus issue, held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

  • (b) Additional Shares to which the holder of Convertible Securities becomes so entitled will, as from the time Shares are issued pursuant to the bonus issue and until those additional Shares are allotted, be regarded as Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised for the purposes of subsequent applications of clause 15.2(a), and any adjustments which,

Employee Incentive Plan - Draig Resources Limited

Page 16

after the time just mentioned, are made under clause 15.1 to the number of Shares will also be made to the additional Shares.

15.3 Rights Issue

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.

15.4

No other participation

Subject to clauses 15.1 to 15.3 (inclusive), during the currency of any Convertible Securities and prior to their exercise, the holders of Convertible Securities are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company as a result of their holding of Convertible Securities.

15.5

Rounding

Until a Convertible Security is exercised, all calculations adjusting the number of Shares must be carried out to include all fractions, but when a Convertible Security is exercised and is settled in Shares the number of Shares to be issued or transferred to the Participant is rounded down to the next lowest whole number.

15.6

Application of adjustment

  • (a) In the application of this clause 15, the Board may (as far as possible) make whatever adjustments it deems necessary or desirable to ensure that the consequences of that application are fair as between the Participants and the holders of other securities in the Company, subject to the Listing Rules and other Applicable Laws.

  • (b) Unless otherwise provided in these Rules, a Participant has no right to:

  • (i) change the Exercise Price; or

  • (ii) change the number of Shares over which the Convertible Security can be exercised.

16. Administration of the Plan

16.1 Board administration

The Plan will be administered by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board may make further provisions for the operation of the Plan which are consistent with these Rules.

Page 17

16.3 Delegation of Board powers and discretions

Documents

16.5 Decisions final

Every exercise of a discretion by the Board (or its delegates) and any decision by the Board (or its delegates) regarding the interpretation, effect or application of these Rules and all calculations and determination made by the Board under these Rules are final, conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

17. Trust

  • (a) The Board may, in its discretion, use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Shares and Plan Shares before or after the exercise of a Convertible Security or delivering any Plan Shares arising from exercise of a Convertible Security under these Rules on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board.

  • (b) Without limiting clause 18.1(a), the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an Invitation, that the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered, under an Invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made in reliance on ASIC Class Order 14/1000 or similar ASIC relief at any time during the previous 3 year period under:

  • (i) an employee incentive scheme covered by ASIC Class Oder 14/1000; or

  • (ii) an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme,

but disregarding any offer made or securities issued in the capital of the Company by way of or as a result of:

  • (iii) an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia;

  • (iv) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act (exempts the requirement for a disclosure document for the issue of securities in certain circumstances to investors who are deemed to have sufficient investment knowledge to make informed decisions, including professional investors, sophisticated investors and senior managers of the Company); or

  • (v) an offer made under a disclosure document,

would not exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any Applicable Law) of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the Invitation.

18.2 Amendment of Plan

  • (a) Subject to clause 18.2(b) and the Listing Rules (including any waiver granted under such Listing Rules), the Board may:

  • (ii) determine that any amendments to these Rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
