5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES – TRANCHE 3 FOR THE PURCHASE OF KOKARDINE KAOLIN PTY LTD
5.1 General
On 8 May 2017, the Company announced that it had entered a share purchase agreement ( Agreement ) to purchase Kokardine Kaolin Pty Ltd which owns the Cadoux kaolin project (E70/4673) in Western Australia. Kaolin from the Cadoux project is proposed to be used as feedstock in the production of high purity alumina. The Agreement was subject to due diligence in respect to the size and quality of the kaolin deposit and the tenement being in good standing. Under the Agreement, the consideration for the purchase of Kokardine Kaolin Pty Ltd is the issue of three tranches of Shares:
-
(a) tranche 1 is the issue of 21,428,571 Shares;
-
(b) tranche 2 is the issue of 12,500,000 Shares; and
-
(c) tranche 3 is the issue of 10,000,000 Shares.
The tranche 2 and 3 issues were contingent on project and Share price milestones being:
-
(a) tranche 2 was contingent upon:
-
(i) the Company establishing a JORC total Mineral Resource of 12.0Mt inclusive of at least 2.5Mt in the Indicated Resource category of kaolin with an average aluminium grade in excess of 11% and cut-off industry standard specifications for kaolinite of maximum values of 0.7% Fe2O3, 0.5% TiO2 and 2% K2O impurities by September 2017; and
-
(ii) the Company Share price achieving 6 cents for a period of 30 consecutive days.
-
(b) tranche 3 is contingent upon:
-
(i) a positive prefeasibility study ( PFS ) for the Project being completed by 30 June 2018 (extended from 31 March 2018); and
-
(ii) the Company Share price achieving 10 cents for a period of 30 consecutive days.
The issue of all consideration Shares is subject to Shareholder approval. On 26 September 2017, the Company announced that, following a positive due diligence review, it was proceeding with the purchase of Kokardine Kaolin Pty Ltd. At the annual general meeting of the Company held 29 November 2017, Shareholders approved the issue of the 21,428,571 tranche 1 Shares. These Shares were issued on 7 December 2017.
The Company announced on 26 July 2017 that it had upgraded the mineral resource at the Cadoux project with this upgrade meeting the tranche 2 project milestone. From 1 December 2017 to the date of the meeting to approve the issue of the tranche 2 Shares (held 19 February 2018), the Company’s Share price remained above 6 cents, meeting the tranche 2 price milestone. With the approval of Shareholders in the meeting held 19 February 2018 the 12,500,000 tranche 2 Shares were issued on 20 February 2018.
On 25 September 2018, the Company announced the results of a positive PFS and the decision to proceed to a bankable feasibility study. The completion of the PFS was outside of the first tranche 3 milestone. However, the due to the delay in the completion being outside of the control of the vendors of Kokardine Kaolin Pty Ltd, the Directors agreed to waive this milestone condition and issue the tranche 3 Shares subject to the approval of Shareholders. The second tranche 3 milestone has been met with the Company’s share price remaining at or above 10 cents from 8 March to 1 May 2018 as well as from 18 May to 22 June 2018.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 10,000,000 Shares to the vendors of Kokardine Kaolin Pty Ltd.

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.

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

-
(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.

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 Directors consider that:
-
(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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
(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 186,479,454 to 188,729,454 (assuming that no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of the existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 1.19%, comprising

12
0.41% by Roland Hill, 0.26% by Edmund Babington, 0.26% by David Sargeant and 0.26% 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.

The Company has valued the Director Incentive Options to be granted to the Related Partied or their nominees using the Black & Scholes option model.
FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
13
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: | 9.3 cents | 1 |
| Exercise price: | 13.95 cents | 2 |
| Dividend rate: | Nil | 3 |
| Volatility rate: | 121% | 4 |
| Risk free interest rate: | 2.01% | 5 |
| Expiry Date: | 9 October 2020 | 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 9 October 2018 which was 9.3 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 13.95 cents which is 150% of the closing price on the valuation date of 9 October 2018. 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 121% has been adopted. This rate has been calculated by reference to the closing price volatility for the Shares of the Company for the previous 24 months. Note 5 The risk free rate is 2.01% 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.
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 – 4.97 cents per Director Option (total value - $37,275) |
| Edmund Babington | 500,000 Director Incentive Options – 4.97 cents per Director Option (total value - $24,850) |
| David Sargeant | 500,000 Director Incentive Options – 4.97 cents per Director Option (total value - $24,850) |
| Adrian Jessup | 500,000 Director Incentive Options – 4.97 cents per Director Option (total value - $24,850) |
(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.
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:
-
(a) 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;
-
(b) 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);
-
(c) 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;
-
(d) Roland Hill, Edmund Babington, David Sargeant and Adrian Jessup as Directors are related parties;
-
(e) The Director Incentive Options are granted for nil consideration;
-
(f) 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 Director Incentive Options expire on 26 November 2020 and have no vesting criteria. The full terms of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 2; and
-
(g) No funds will be raised from the grant of the Director Options.
7. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY
7.1 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 9 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).
7.2 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
FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
15
Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $18.5 million based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice and the closing price of Shares ($0.093) on the ASX on 9 October 2018.
(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.
(d) Formula for calculating number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity
If Resolution 9 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 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 9 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.
7.3 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.
FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
16
(b) Risk of economic and voting dilution
If Resolution 9 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
-
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.
FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
17
-
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 9.3 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 9 October 2018.
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 27 November 2018 (the date of this Meeting) and expires on the earlier of:
-
27 November 2019, 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)

Instructions for Completing Appointment of Proxy Form
-
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.
-
A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
-
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:
-
2 directors of the company;
-
a director and a company secretary of the company; or
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
