Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES

1.1 General

The Company has entered into employment contracts with Mr Peter Thompson and Mr Peter Langworthy as Executive Directors of the Company. Subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, the Company has agreed to issue a total of 10,800,000 Options ( Options ) to Mr Peter Thompson and Mr Peter Langworthy ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

The number of ESOP Options to be issued to the Executive Directors for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in their respective roles is set out below:


is set out below:
Related Party Role Options
Mr Peter Thompson ManagingDirector 6,000,000
Mr Peter Langworthy Technical Director 4,800,000

The Options to be issued will have an exercise price of $0.10 and an expiry date of 5:00 pm (AWST) on 31 May 2020. The Options will vest in three tranches:

  • a) one third of the Options will vest one year after the date of issue;

  • b) one third of the Options will vest two years after the date of issue; and

  • c) one third of the Options will vest three years after the date of issue.

2.1 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

  • a) 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 Options to the Related Party constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Peter Thompson and Mr Peter Langworthy are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Peter Thompson and Mr Peter Langworthy who each have a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that the issue of the Options to Mr Peter Thompson and Mr Peter Langworthy falls within the exception in Section 211 of the Corporations Act, and accordingly, Shareholder approval is not required for the purpose of Section 208 of the Corporations Act.

6

3.1 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.

As the issue of Shares contemplated by Resolutions 1 and 2 involves the issue of securities to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

4.1 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Options:

  • a) the related parties are Mr Peter Thompson and Mr Peter Langworthy and each is a related party by virtue of being Director;

  • b) the maximum number of Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is 10,800,000 Options, of which 6,000,000 Options will be granted to Mr Peter Thompson if Resolution 1 is passed and 4,800,000 Options will be granted to Mr Peter Langworthy if Resolution 2 is passed;

  • c) the Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than one month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Options will be issued on one date;

  • d) the Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • e) the Options to be issued to the Related Party will have an exercise price of $0.10 and an expiry date of 5:00 pm (AWST) on 31 May 2020, and will vest in three tranches:

  • (i) 3,600,000 of the Options will vest one year after the date of issue;

  • (ii) 3,600,000 of the Options will vest two years after the date of issue; and

  • (iii) 3,600,000 of the Options will vest two years after the date of issue; and

  • f) the terms and conditions of the Options are outlined in Schedule 1;

  • g) the value of the Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 2;

7

h) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company is set out below:

is set out below:
Related Party Shares Options
Mr Peter Thompson 6,279,974 -
Mr Peter Langworthy 5,104,903 300,0001

1 Options exercisable at $0.50 each on or before 31 March 2016.

i) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties for both the current financial year and previous financial year are set out below:

are set out below:
Related Party Current
Financial Year
Previous
Financial Year
Mr Peter Thompson $108,045 -

(1) Payments to Mr Langworthy, include payments made on and arm’s length basis to OMNI GeoX Pty Ltd for time spent on managing and executing the Group’s exploration programme.

j) if the Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 10,800,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This would increase the number of Shares on issue from 388,727,498 to 399,527,498 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:

follows:
Related Party Issued Shares
as at the
date of this
Notice of
Meeting
Options
to be
issued
Issued Shares
upon
exercise of
all Options
Dilutionary
Effect upon
exercise of
Options
Mr Peter Thompson 388,727,448 6,000,000 394,727,448 1.52%
Mr Peter Langworthy 388,727,448 4,800,000 393,527,448 1.22 %

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

l) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:

Price (cents) Date
Highest $0.105 22 February 2016
1, 2 and 4 March 2016
Lowest $0.010 12, 13 and 14 October 2015
Last $0.095 15 March 2016

m) the primary purpose of the grant of the Options to the Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the

8

remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as Executive Directors;

  • n) Mr Peter Thompson declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Options in the Company should Resolution 1 be passed.

  • o) Mr Peter Langworthy declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Options in the Company should Resolution 2 be passed.

  • p) with the exception of Mr Peter Thompson (Resolution 1) and Mr Peter Langworthy (Resolution 2), no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 1 and 2;

  • q) the Directors (other than Mr Peter Thompson in relation to Resolution 1 and Mr Peter Langworthy in relation to Resolution 2) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2 for the following reasons:

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

  • (ii) the grant of the 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 Options upon the terms proposed;

  • r) 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 Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Options; and

  • s) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 1 and 2.

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

Instructions for completing Proxy Form

  1. ( 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.

  2. ( 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
