FYI RESOURCES LIMITED ACN 061 289 218

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in this Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

The Company does not provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s Annual Report is available on the Company’s website www.fyiresources.com.au .

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

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, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the Directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The Chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 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 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 re-election 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.

2.3 Previous voting results

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%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

The Directors (apart from Mr Babington) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Babington.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PLACEMENT OF SHARES

4.1 Background

On 10 June 2016, the Company announced that it had agreed to issue 7,142,857 Shares at 4.2 cents each to raise $300,000 (before costs) ( Placement ). The funds were raised to advance the Company’s Laos potash strategy including additional drilling on the Sino-Lao project and to further the due diligence review of the project. The Placement was made to sophisticated investors under the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 ASX Listing Rules

Resolution 3 seeks the ratification of the issue of 7,142,857 Shares at a price of 4.2 cents per Share to raise $300,000 issued within the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).

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.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 (and provided that the

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

10

previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.5 provides that for Shareholders to approve an issue subsequently, the notice of meeting must include particular information. This information is as follows:

  • (a) the number of securities issued and allotted was 7,142,857 Shares;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at a price of 4.2 cents per Share;

  • (c) the Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company's current issued Shares;

  • (d) the Shares were allotted to clients of Peloton Capital and to other sophisticated investors under Section 708 of the Corporations Act. The allottees are not related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) the funds raised from the issue will be used to fund the Company’s Laos potash strategy including additional drilling on the Sino-Lao project and to further the due diligence review of the project.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES

5.1 General

The Company has been working since November 2014 to review and secure a suitable potash project in Laos in line with its Southeast Asian potash strategy. During that time representatives of the Central Potash Cooperation Company ( CPCC ) in Laos have provided valuable assistance to the Company by: identifying suitable projects; introducing the Company to key industry and government officials; and providing management and administrative services, support and facilities in Laos. CPCC has incurred considerable management time as well as cash disbursements of approximately $120,000 in doing so. The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue 2,000,000 Shares to CPCC (or its nominees) in consideration for the work undertaken by CPCC for the Company. The Shares if issued, are to be subject to voluntary escrow for 12 months from the date of issue. The Company is also discussing with CPCC, long term incentives based on the Company achieving defined milestones in its Laos potash strategy. These incentives, when agreed, will be subject to shareholder approval.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 2,000,000 Shares to CPCC (or their nominees).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares during the period of 3 months after this Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity or additional 10% annual placement capacity.

5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (i) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 2,000,000;

  • (ii) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue will occur on the same date;

  • (iii) the Shares will be issued to CPCC (or their nominees). CPCC are not related parties of the Company;

  • (iv) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (v) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares as the Shares will be issued consideration for assistance provided to the Company and costs incurred by CPCC in providing that assistance.

6. RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 8 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE DIRECTOR INCENTIVE OPTIONS

6.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to a total of 2,250,000 Options ( Director Incentive Options ) to Messrs Roland Hill, Edmund Babington, David Sargeant and Adrian Jessup (or their respective nominees) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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 grant of the Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Hill, Babington, Sargeant and Jessup are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options to the Related Parties.

6.3 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act –Related Party Transactions)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Options:

(a) The related parties to whom the proposed Resolutions would permit the financial benefit to be given

The related parties are Roland Hill (Resolution 5), Edmund Babington (Resolution 6), David Sargeant (Resolution 7) and Adrian Jessup (Resolution 8) or their nominees and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors.

  • (b) The nature of the financial benefit

  • The maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:

  • (i) 750,000 Director Incentive Options to Roland Hill (or his nominee);

  • (ii) 500,000 Director Incentive Options to Edmund Babington (or his nominee);

  • (iii) 500,000 Director Incentive Options to David Sargeant (or his nominee); and

  • (iv) 500,000 Director Incentive Options to Adrian Jessup (or his nominee).

The terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 1.

  • (c) Directors Recommendation and Basis of Financial Benefit

The Board currently consists of Roland Hill, Edmund Babington, David Sargeant and Adrian Jessup.

By Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8 the Company is proposing to grant Director Incentive Options to each of the Directors. In each case, the number of Director Incentive Options to be granted and the terms of the Director Incentive Options was negotiated by the Directors independent of the particular Related Party to be granted the Director Incentive Options.

The purpose of the grant of the Director Incentive Options to the Related Parties is to provide each Director with added incentive to achieve the goals set by the Board to add Shareholder value. The Director Incentive Options are issued as part of each Director's remuneration package.

The independent Directors in each case consider that the quantity of Director Incentive Options together with the terms of the Director Incentive Options in each case constitute an appropriate number to adequately incentivise the Directors in light of that Director's skill and experience and their current remuneration as detailed below.

The Board acknowledges that the grant of the Director Incentive Options to Edmund Babington, David Sargeant and Adrian Jessup as non-executive Directors is contrary to guidelines for non-

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

12

executive remuneration in Recommendation 8.3 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments (2nd Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of the Director Incentive Options to be reasonable in the circumstances given the Company's size and stage of development and the importance of maintaining the Company's cash reserves.

Roland Hill declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Related Director Incentive Options in the Company should Resolution 5 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 Mr Hill recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of Director Incentive Options to the Related Parties will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Director Incentive Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Director Incentive Options upon the terms proposed.

Edmund Babington declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Director Incentive Options in the Company should Resolution 6 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 5, 7 and 8 Mr Babington recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraphs (i) to (iii) above.

David Sargeant declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Director Incentive Options in the Company should Resolution 7 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 5, 6 and 8 Mr Sargeant recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraphs (i) to (iii) above.

Adrian Jessup declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Director Incentive Options in the Company should Resolution 8 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 Mr Jessup recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraphs (i) to (iii) above.

In forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Related Party, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Director Incentive Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Director Incentive Options.

(d)

Dilution

The passing of Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8 will have the effect of granting up to 2,250,000 Director Incentive Options.

If any of the Director Incentive Options are exercised into Shares, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders. If all the Director Incentive Options are exercised, a total of 2,250,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 88,610,643 to 90,860,643 (assuming that no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of the existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 2.48%, comprising 0.83% by Roland Hill, 0.55% by Edmund Babington, 0.55% by David Sargeant and 0.55% by Adrian Jessup.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Incentive Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Incentive Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Incentive Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Incentive Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

The actual dilution will depend on the extent of further equity raised by the Company and whether any of the Director Incentive Options are exercised.

(h) Valuation of Director Options

The Director Options will not be quoted on ASX.

The Company has valued the Director Incentive Options to be granted to the Related Partied or their nominees using the Black & Scholes option model.

The following assumptions have been made regarding the inputs required for the option pricing module:

Input Note
Number of options to related parties: 2,250,000
Underlying security spot price: 4.7 cents 1
Exercise price: 7.1 cents 2
Dividend rate: Nil 3

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

14

Input Note
Volatility rate: 115.7% 4
Risk free interest rate: 1.66% 5
Expiry Date: 20 October 2018 6

Note 1 The underlying security spot price used for the purposes of this valuation is based on the closing price of Shares on the valuation date of 21 October 2016 which was 4.7 cents. Note 2 The exercise price is 150% of the volume weighted average closing price for the 5 days traded prior to the date of the Meeting. This example uses 7.1 cents. Note 3 As at the date of the valuation, the Company had not forecast any future dividend payments. For the purposes of the valuation it is therefore assumed that the Company's share price is "ex-dividend", If dividend payments were forecast, the value of the Director Options would be reduced. Note 4 A volatility rate of 115.7% has been adopted. This rate has been calculated by reference to the closing price volatility for the Shares of the Company for the previous 12 months. Note 5 The risk free rate is 1.66% based on the current Reserve Bank Treasury Bond rates. Note 6 The Expiry Date is two years from the date of grant. This example uses the date of this Notice as the grant date.

As the Director Incentive Options are not listed, a 20% marketability discount has been applied to the values.

Based on the above assumptions the Options proposed to be issued to Directors have been valued as follows:

Number and Value of Director Incentive Options Number and Value of Director Incentive Options
Director Incentive Options
Roland Hill 750,000 Director Incentive Options – 1.9 cents per Director Option
(total value - $14,278)
Edmund Babington 500,000 Director Incentive Options – 1.9 cents per Director Option
(total value - $9,519)
David Sargeant 500,000 Director Incentive Options – 1.9 cents per Director Option
(total value - $9,519)
Adrian Jessup 500,000 Director Incentive Options – 1.9 cents per Director Option
(total value - $9,519)

(i) Other Information

The Directors are not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision as to whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8.

6.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

Roland Hill, Edmund Babington, David Sargeant and Adrian Jessup are Directors and as such are related parties of the Company.

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

15

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Incentive Options to the Related Parties.

If approval to grant the Director Incentive Options to the Related Partied is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the issue of the Incentive Director Options to the Related Partied will not be included in the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity calculation.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 provides that the notice of meeting to approve the issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 must include certain information.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8:

  • The Director Incentive Options will be granted to Roland Hill (Resolution 5), Edmund Babington (Resolution 6), David Sargeant (Resolution 7) and Adrian Jessup (Resolution 8) or their nominees;

  • The maximum number of securities the Company will grant is:

  • 750,000 Director Incentive Options to Roland Hill (or his nominees);

  • 500,000 Director Incentive Options to Edmund Babington (or his nominees);

  • 500,000 Director Incentive Options to David Sargeant (or his nominees); and

  • 500,000 Director Incentive Options to Adrian Jessup (or his nominees);

  • The Director Incentive Options will be granted no later than 1 month after the date of this Meeting (or a later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;

  • Roland Hill, Edmund Babington, David Sargeant and Adrian Jessup as Directors are related parties;

  • The Director Incentive Options are granted for nil consideration;

  • The exercise price of the Director Incentive Options is 150% of the 5 traded day volume weighted average closing price of Shares prior to the date of the Meeting. The final exercise price will be determined and disclosed to the market prior to the Meeting. The Director Incentive Options expire on 29 November 2018 and have no vesting criteria. The full terms of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 1; and

  • No funds will be raised from the grant of the Director Options.

7. RESOLUTION 9 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO CAPSTONE CAPITAL PTY LTD, AN ASSOCIATE OF DIRECTOR, ROLAND HILL

7.1 Background

The Company entered into an agreement with Capstone Capital Pty Ltd ( Capstone ) in February 2011, for the provision of the services by Roland Hill as CEO of the Company. Under the terms of that agreement Capstone was to be paid a fee of $15,000 per month. With the agreement of Mr Hill and Capstone, the Company has been accruing fees for the services of Mr Hill in order to preserve the Company’s cash. Capstone has agreed not to request the payment of the outstanding fees of $297,000 accrued to 30 June 2016 until such time as the Company’s cash reserves are considered sufficient. The Company has reached an agreement with Capstone that:

  • subject to Shareholder approval, the Company will issue up to 1,800,000 Shares at 5 cents each in lieu of fees of $90,000; and

  • the balance will continue to be accrued to be paid in cash.

By issuing Shares in lieu of paying cash, the Company is able to preserve its cash reserves. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Shares upon the terms proposed. The independent Directors resolved to issue the Shares at a deemed issue price of 5 cents each which was a premium to the Company’s Share market price of 4.7 cents at the time the resolution was made. The independent Directors (Messrs Sargeant, Jessup and Babington) support Resolution 9.

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

7.2 ASX Listing Rule10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in the opinion of ASX, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As an entity associated with Director Roland Hill, Capstone is a related party of the Company. Accordingly, approval is sought pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 from Shareholders for the issue of the Shares to Capstone.

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that for Shareholders to approve an issue to a related party, the notice of meeting must include particular information set out in Listing Rule 10.13. This information is as follows:

  • (a) the Shares are to be issued are proposed to be issued to Capstone or its nominee;

  • (b) the maximum number of securities to be issued is 1,800,000 Shares;

  • (c) the Company proposes to issue the Shares to Capstone no later than 1 month after the date of this Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (d) Capstone is an associate of Director Roland Hill;

  • (e) the Shares were issued at a deemed price of 5 cents per Share;

  • (f) the Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company's current issued Shares; and

  • (g) no funds will be raised the issue of these Shares as they are being issued in part consideration for fees accrued and owing by the Company to Capstone.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Shares to Capstone as approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Shares to Capstone will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

8. INFORMATION RELATING TO RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL FOR ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY

8.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 permits entities to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period, subject to a number of exceptions.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities, which have obtained shareholder approval by special resolution, to issue Equity Securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ("Additional Placement Capacity").

The Company seeks Shareholder approval under Resolution 10 to be able to issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued is not fixed and will be determined in accordance the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (set out below).

8.2 Requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

  • (a) Eligible entities

An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $4.1 million based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice and the closing price of Shares ($0.047) on the ASX on 21 October 2016.

  • (b) Shareholder approval

Shareholders must approve the Additional Placement Capacity by special resolution at the annual general meeting. A resolution under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A cannot be put at any other shareholder meeting.

(c) Equity Securities

Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has only one class of Equity Securities quoted on ASX being fully paid ordinary Shares. The Company also has unquoted options on issue.

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

17

(d) Formula for calculating number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) - E

A The number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an
exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with the approval
of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
D 10%
E The number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule
7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not
issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

(e) Interaction between ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The Additional Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company has 88,610,643 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be permitted to issue (as at the date of this Notice):

  • 13,291,596 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 8,861,064 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will be permitted to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue or agreement to issue the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out above).

The effect of Resolution 10 will be to allow the Company to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without using the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

8.3 Information for Shareholders as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

  • (a) Minimum price

The issue price of the new Equity Securities will be no lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for securities in the relevant quoted class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price of the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 10 is passed and the Company issues securities under the Additional Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is the risk that:

  • the market price for the Company's existing Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue of the new Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

18

  • the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price of the Company's existing Equity Securities on the issue date or the new Equity Securities may be issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the new Equity Securities.

The table below 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • 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 may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example a pro rata entitlement issue) or future placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved by Shareholders in the future;

  • two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

This table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional Placement Capacity.

  • No options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  • 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%.

  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • The issue price is 4.7 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 21 October 2016.

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

19

The Company's ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to its ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

(c) Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the Additional Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from 28 November 2016 (the date of this Meeting) and expires on the earlier of:

  • 28 November 2017, which is 12 months after this Meeting; or

  • the date that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking, (the " Placement Period ").

The Company will only issue and allot new securities during the Placement Period. The approval will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.

(d) Purposes for which the new Equity Securities may be issued

The Company may seek to issue new Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • cash consideration to raise funds for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including the expenses associated such acquisition), continued expenditure on the Company's then current exploration assets and for general working capital; or

  • non-cash consideration for acquisition of new mineral exploration and/or mining assets and investments or for the payment of goods or services provided to the Company. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

(e) Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of new Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity will depend on the market conditions existing at the time of the proposed issue. The recipients will be determined at the relevant time having regard to factors such as:

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of new securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (as relevant).

As at the date of this Notice the recipients are not known but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders. No recipient under the Additional Placement Capacity will be a related party or associate of a related party. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for any Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.

If the Additional Placement Capacity is used to acquire new assets or investments then it is likely that the recipients will be the vendors of the new assets.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A on the issue of any new securities.

  • (f) Details of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of Meeting

On 27 November 2015, the Company received Shareholder approval for the Additional Placement Capacity at its 2015 annual general meeting. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3A.6 the following information is provided to Shareholders:

Instructions for Completing Appointment of Proxy Form

  1. In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, a shareholder of the Company who is entitled to attend and cast two or more votes at a general meeting of shareholders is entitled to appoint two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

  2. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

  3. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  4. 2 directors of the company;

  5. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  6. for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in sections 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with sections 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of sections 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  2. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.

  3. In accordance with section 250BA of the Corporations Act the Company specifies the following for the purposes of receipt of proxy appointments:

Registered Office: 53 Canning Highway, Victoria Park, Western Australia, 6100 Fax Number: +61 (8) 9361 3154 Email Address: [email protected] Postal Address: 53 Canning Highway, Victoria Park, Western Australia, 6100

by no later than 48 hours prior to the time of commencement of the Meeting.
