A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
Voting consequences
Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company (Spill Resolution) at the second annual general meeting.
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general 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 financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) 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 re-election at the Spill Meeting.

[Amend and delete as appropriate depending on the results of the previous AGM.]At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%.

Jaguar Minerals Ltd >Annual General Meeting 2012
Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

3.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
3.3.1 Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
3.3.1.1 the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
3.3.1.2 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.
-
3.3.2 If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Listed Options, only if the Listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:
-
3.3.2.1 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
-
3.3.2.2 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 are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
3.3.3 The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(ii) No Listed Options (including any Listed Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;
-
(iii) 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%.
-
(iv) 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 Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(vii) The issue price is $0.017, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 27 September, 2012.
-
3.3.4 The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
3.3.5 The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
3.3.5.1 non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new resources assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
12
Jaguar Minerals Ltd >Annual General Meeting 2012
- 3.3.5.2 cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital. The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
3.3.5.3 the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
3.3.5.4 the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
3.3.5.5 the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
3.3.5.6 advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.
-
3.3.6 The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
3.3.7 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.

ANNEXURE A.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE DIRECTOR OPTIONS
A summary of the proposed terms and conditions of the Options is as follows:
-
Each Director Option entitles the holder to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in the Company.
-
Each Option shall be issued for no consideration.
-
The Director Options may be exercised at any time until 30 November 2015. Each Director Option may be exercised by forwarding to the Company at its principal office the exercise notice, duly completed together with payment of the sum of the greater of three and a half cents (3.5c) or 140% of 5 day VWAP as at the date the issue of the options are approved by shareholders per Director Option exercised. The Director Options will lapse at 5pm WDST on 31 December 2015.
-
The Director Options may be transferred by an instrument (duly stamped where necessary) in the form commonly used for transfer of Director Options at any time until 30 November 2015. This right is subject to any restrictions on the transfer of an Director Option that may be imposed by ASX in circumstances where the Company is listed on ASX.
-
There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Director Options and Option holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Director Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 10 Business Days after the issue is announced. This will give Option holders the opportunity to exercise their Director Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
-
In the event that a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) is made to the holders of the underlying securities in the Company, the exercise price of the Director Options may be reduced in accordance with Listing Rule 6.22.2
-
In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, all rights of the Option holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to the reconstruction of capital at the time of the reconstruction.
-
If there is a bonus issue to shareholders, the number of shares over which the Director Option is exercisable may be increased by the number of shares which the holder of the Director Option would have received if the Director Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
-
Shares issued on the exercise of Director Options will be issued not more than fourteen (14) days after receipt of a properly executed exercise notice and application monies. The Notice and cheque must be received by the Company during the Exercise Period. Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of a Director Option will rank equally with the then issued ordinary shares of the Company in all respects. The Company will not apply for quotation of the Director Options on ASX, however, it will, pursuant to the exercise of a Director Option, apply to ASX for quotation of the Shares issued as a result of the exercise, in accordance with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. An exercise of only some Options shall not affect the rights of the Option holder to the balance of the Options held by it.
