2. RESOLUTIONS 1 & 2 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 SHARES & TRANCHE 1 OPTIONS
2.1 General
On 9 March 2017, the Company issued to Hawkes Point Holdings I Limited 54,852,304 Shares ( Tranche 1 Shares ) at an issue price of $0.117 per Share and 18,284,101 Attaching Options ( Tranche 1 Options ) to raise $6,417,720 before costs of the issue. The Tranche 1 allotments were made without Shareholder approval, with 48,921,392 Tranche 1 Shares & 18,284,101 Tranche 1 Options being issued under Listing Rule 7.1, which allows up to 15% of eligible capital to be issued without shareholder approval, and with 5,930,912 Tranche 1 Shares being issued under Listing Rule 7.1A, which allows up to 10% of eligible capital to be issued under prior approval gained at the preceding annual general meeting.
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.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, an entity which is eligible and obtains approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may, during the period for which the approval is valid, issue a number of securities which represents up to 10% of the number of ordinary fully paid securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period, as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the issue which is the subject of Resolution 2, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
The issue of securities made relying on ASX Listing Rule 7.1A can, after they have been made, be ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4
By ratifying the issue which is the subject of Resolution 1, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 10% placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. It would also have the effect of increasing the base figure upon which the Company’s 15% placement capacity is calculated earlier than would otherwise be the case.

Instructions for completing Proxy Form
-
( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
-
( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3. ( Signing instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
-
( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
-
( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
-
( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
-
( Attending the Meeting ): 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.
-
( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
-
(a) post to Capricorn Metals Ltd, 15 Lovegrove Close, Mount Claremont WA 6010; or
