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. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES TO SERVICE PROVIDERS UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1

1.1 General

On 12 June 2020, the Company announced to ASX the issue of 8,323,335 Shares at a deemed issue price of 5 cents per Share to the Service Providers to the Company in satisfaction of fees owing totalling $416,167 for the provision of technical, product development and marketing, and investor relation services provided to the Company.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company's Shareholders, it effectively uses part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under the relevant rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

FYI Resources Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

7

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

  • 1.2 I nformation required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Shares were issued to the Service Providers to the Company identified in the table above or their nominees. None of the subscribers is a related party of the Company;

  • (b) the number of securities issued was 8,323,335 Shares;

  • (c) the Shares were fully paid ordinary shares issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Shares were issued on 15 June 2020;

  • (e) the Shares were issued for no cash consideration at a deemed issue price of 5 cents per Share in satisfaction of fees owing totalling $416,167;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue was the Shares were consideration for the satisfaction of fees owing to a number of service providers to the Company for the services summarised in the table in Section 1.1 above. No funds were raised by the issue of the Shares;

  • (g) the Shares were issued under a compromise agreement with each of the Service Providers where they agreed to be issued Shares at a deemed issue price of 5 cents per Share for accrued services. There are no other material terms; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

2. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – RATIFICATION OF AUGUST 2020 PLACEMENT OF SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A – FIRST TRANCHE

  • 2.1 General

As announced on 13 August 2020, the Company is undertaking a capital raising of up to $2.7 million through the issue of up to 45 million Shares at a price of 6 cents per Share ( August 2020 Placement ) to advance FYI’s strategy to produce high purity alumina (HPA) (i.e. 99.99% purityAl2O3) from the Company’s innovative and fully integrated HPA project in Western Australia, including additional HPA product marketing, ongoing test work and refinement of the production process, further trial production, as well as working capital and costs of the issue.

The August 2020 Placement is being undertaken in two tranches. The first tranche comprised of the issue of 21,666,666 Shares at the issue price of 6 cents per Share to raise $1,300,000 (First Tranche). The Company undertook the First Tranche by relying on its placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. Resolutions 2 and 3 seek Shareholder approval to ratify the issue under the First Tranche.

466,666 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 2) and 21,200,000 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A capacity (being the subject of Resolution 3) which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held 29 November 2019.

The second tranche comprises the remaining 23,333,334 Shares to be issued under the August 2020 Placement (Second Tranche). The issue of the Second Tranche is subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 4.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

FYI Resources Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

8

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

An " eligible entity " means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes and obtained approval at its 2019 annual general meeting to the additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company is therefore able to issue equity securities up to a combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval within the limits provided.

The Company undertook the First Tranche of the August 2020 Placement by relying on its placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A as this issue did not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be) and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under the relevant rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A. To this end, Resolutions 2 and 3 seek ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares the subject of the First Tranche.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the 466,666 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the 466,666 Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the 21,200,000 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A until 28 November 2020.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the 21,200,000 Shares will be included in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A until 28 November 2020.

2.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 2 and 3:

  • (a) the Shares were issued to sophisticated investors exempt from or outside the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. None of the subscribers is a related party of the Company;

  • (b) 21,666,666 Shares were issued, as part of the First Tranche, on the following basis:

  • (i) 466,666 Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2); and

  • (g) the Shares were issued pursuant to the engagement of Foster Stockbroking as lead manager to a placement by which it was required to use its endeavours to raise moneys for the Company from sophisticated investors; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

3. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES FOR THE SECOND TRANCHE OF AUGUST 2020 PLACEMENT

3.1 General

The Company is proposing to issue up to 23,333,334 Shares at an issue price of 6 cents per Share to raise up to $1.4 million as the Second Tranche of the August 2020 Placement. The issue of these Shares is subject of this Resolution.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the securities the subject of this Resolution does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the 23,333,334 Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company will not be able to raise the sum of $1,400,000 the subject of this Resolution.

3.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.1

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

  • (a) the Second Tranche Shares will be issued to sophisticated investors exempt from or outside the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. None of the subscribers will be a related party of the Company;

  • (b) the number of Second Tranche Shares is up to 23,333,334. The Second Tranche Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares on issue;

  • (c) the Second Tranche 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 Listing Rules);

  • (d) the issue price of the Second Tranche Shares will be 6 cents per Share;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Second Tranche Shares was to raise funds to be used as set out in Section 2.1 above;

5. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO GEM GLOBAL

5.1 General

As summarised in Section 4.1, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval so that the Company may issue the balance of the Options required to be issued under the GEM Agreement to GEM Global or its nominees. The balance of Options to be issued is 23,700,000 Options.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the securities the subject of this Resolution does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the 23,700,000 Options and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. In this circumstance, if the 23,700,000 Options are not issued within 45 days of the Meeting, under the GEM Agreement GEM Global may elect for the Company to pay it liquidated damages equal to the higher of $426,600 and a Black Scholes value of the Options.

Schedule 1 – Terms and Conditions of Options (Resolutions 5 and 6)

Entitlement

  • 1 Subject to and conditional upon any adjustment in accordance with these conditions, each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share ( Share ) upon payment of the Exercise Price.

Exercise Price

  • 2 The Exercise Price of each Option is $0.15 ( Exercise Price ).

Exercise Period

  • 3 An Option is exercisable at any time on or before 5.00pm (Brisbane time) on Friday, 5 March 2024 (the Expiry Date ). Options not exercised by the Expiry Date lapse.

Manner of exercise of Options

  • 4 Each Option may be exercised by notice in writing addressed to the Company’s registered office. The minimum number of Options that may be exercised at any one time is 350,000 or if the remaining balance of Options is less than 350,000 Options, then that remaining balance may be exercised. Payment of the Exercise Price for each Option must accompany each notice of exercise of option. All cheques must be payable to the Company and be crossed ‘not negotiable’.

Ranking of Shares

  • 5 Shares issued on the exercise of Options will rank equally with all existing shares on and from the date of issue in respect of all rights issues, bonus share issues and dividends which have a record date for determining entitlements on or after the date of issue of those shares.

Timing of issue of Shares

  • 6 After an Option is validly exercised, the Company must as soon as possible:

  • (a) issue and allot the share as soon as possible; and

  • (b) do all such acts matters and things to obtain the grant of quotation for the shares on ASX no later than 5 Business Days from the date of exercise of the Option.

Options transferrable

7 Options may be transferred in the same manner as shares and may be exercised by any other person or body corporate.

Participation in new issues

  • 8 An Option holder may participate in new issues of securities to holders of shares only if and to the extent that:

  • (a) an Option has been exercised; and

  • (b) a share has been issued in respect of the exercise before the record date for determining entitlements to the new issue.

  • 9 The Company must give notice to the Option holder of any new issue not less than 10 Business Days before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue.

Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares

  • 10 If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction, of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):

  • (a) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Option holder would have received if the Option holder had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and

  • (b) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

FYI Resources Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

14

Adjustment for rights issue

  • 11 If the Company makes an issue of shares pro rata to existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu of in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Exercise Price of an Option will be reduced according to the following formula:

New exercise price = O – E[P-(S+D)]

N + 1

  • O = the old Exercise Price of the Option.

  • E = the number of underlying shares into which one Option is exercisable.

  • P = the average market price per share (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.

  • S = the purchase price of a share under the pro rata issue.

  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue).

  • N = the number of shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new share.

Reconstructions

  • 12 If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the number of shares to which the Option holder is entitled, and/or the Exercise Price, must be reconstructed in a manner which complies with the Listing Rules (which will not result in any benefits being conferred on the Option holder which are not conferred on shareholders and subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital), but in all other respects, the terms for the exercise of an Option will remain unchanged.

Interpretation

13 These terms and conditions of issue must be interpreted in the same way as the Capital Commitment Agreement under which the Option was issued.
