Notice of Annual General Meeting

This Explanatory Memorandum is provided to the shareholders of Cavalier Resources Limited ACN 635 842 143 ( the Company ) to explain the resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held at Level 2, 22 Mount Street, Perth WA 6000 on 24 November 2023 commencing at 11.30am AWST.
The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.
Subject to the abstentions noted below, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all Resolutions. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each resolution.
Terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Section 8.
2. 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 2023 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report, and the auditor’s report.
There is no requirement for shareholders to approve these reports. However, time will be allowed during the annual general meeting for consideration by shareholders of the financial statements and the associated directors’ and auditors’ reports.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.cavalierresources.com.au
The Company’s Annual Report is placed before the Shareholders for discussion.
No voting is required for this item.
3. Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report
3.1 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.
3.2 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.
Page 5 of 12
Notice of Annual General 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.
3.3 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.
4. Resolution 2: Re-election of Director – Mr Anthony Keers
4.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.
Clause 15.2 of the Company Constitution (which mirrors ASX Listing Rule 14.4) requires that a director shall not continue in office for a period in excess of three consecutive years or until the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting to reelection.
Mr Keers was first appointed a Director on 24 November 2021 (prior to the Company’s listing on the ASX) and was elected at the AGM held on 30 November 2022.
Mr Keers retires by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and seeks re-election.
4.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Keers was appointed a non-executive director on 24 November 2021.
Mr Keers is the co-founder and director of successful mine consulting firm Auralia Mining Consulting, and is a highly technically proficient mining engineer with over 20 years’ experience. His experience includes working as an underground engineer for Sons of Gwalia, a consultant mining engineer for AMC and LQS, and a business analyst for Gemcom.
Mr Keers has expertise in a wide range of commodity types and locations around the world, spanning all aspects of mine planning, scheduling and operations. Mr Keers has undertaken feasibility studies and reserve estimation work for both ASX and TSX listed entities.
Mr Keers holds a degree in Mining Engineering (Hons) from the University of Queensland, a Diploma in Project Management and is an AusIMM accredited Chartered Professional.
Mr Keers is considered to be an independent director.
4.3 Board recommendation
The Board supports the re-election of Mr Keers as a Director of the Company and recommends (with Mr Keers abstaining) that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
5. Resolution 3: Ratification of Prior Issue of Drilling Services Shares
5.1 Background
On 16 May 2023 the Company issued 349,866 fully paid ordinary shares to Gyro Australia Pty Ltd in partial satisfaction of the amount owed for drilling services (“ Drilling Services Shares ”). The shares have a deemed value of $0.14 per share.
5.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may, without shareholder approval, issue or agree to issue that number of Equity Securities that total up to 15% of the number of fully paid, ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the issue or agreement to issue plus the number of fully paid, ordinary securities issued by the company in that 12 month period with shareholder approval or under an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Page 6 of 12
Notice of Annual General Meeting
The issue of the Drilling Services Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and has reduced the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 12 months from the issue date of those Drilling Services Shares (being 16 May 2023).
5.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve those issues of Equity Securities that have reduced the listed company’s placement capacities under Listing Rule 7.1 (15% limit). If Shareholders approve an issue under Listing Rule 7.4, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and does not reduce the Company’s placement capacity under that rule.
To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 for the Drilling Services Shares issued under the Company’s 15% placement capacity.
5.4 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Drilling Services Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. In addition, the Drilling Services Shares will be counted in Variable A under Listing Rule 7.1, which is the base number of Shares on which the 15% and 10% placement capacities under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A are based. This will effectively increase the number of Equity Securities that can be issued without Shareholder approval under the 15% and 10% placement capacities under those rules.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Drilling Services Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 until 12 months after the issue date of those shares (being 16 May 2023) unless subsequently approved by Shareholders before that date.
5.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided:
-
(a) The Drilling Services Shares were issued to Gyro Australia Pty Ltd.
-
(b) The Company issued 349,866 fully paid ordinary shares, which rank equally with all other shares on issue.
-
(c) The Drilling Services Shares were issued on 16 May 2023.
-
(d) The Drilling Services Shares were issued as partial consideration for drilling services provided by Gyro Australia Pty Ltd. The shares have a deemed issue price of $0.14 per share.
-
(e) The purpose of the issue of the Drilling Services Shares was for part consideration payable to Gyro Australia Pty Ltd for their drilling services. There were no funds raised from this issue.
-
(f) The Drilling Services Shares were not issued under any agreement.
5.6 Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
6. Resolution 4: Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
6.1 General
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.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the 10% Placement Capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
Page 7 of 12
Notice of Annual General Meeting
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
6.2 Information on 10% Placement Capacity
(a) Quoted securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% 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 currently has one class of Equity Securities quoted on the ASX, being Ordinary Shares (ASX Code: CVR).
(b) Formula for 10% Placement Capacity
If this Resolution 4 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:
Additional Placement Capacity = (A x D) – E
-
A = the number of fully-paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period:
-
plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16, or 17;
-
plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or
- the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;
-
plus the number of partly-paid ordinary securities that became fully-paid in the Relevant Period;
-
less the number of fully-paid ordinary securities cancelled in the Relevant Period;
D = 10%; and
- E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.
6.3 Listing Rule requirements
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 4:
(a) Period for which the 10% Placement Capacity is valid
The 10% Placement Capacity will commence on the date of the Meeting at which the Shareholder approval is obtained and expire on the first to occur of the following:
Page 8 of 12
Notice of Annual General Meeting
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting (i.e. 24 November 2023), presuming Shareholder approval is obtained;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum Price at which equity securities may be issued
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of funds raised under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for:
-
(i) the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);
-
(ii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets/or projects (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration);
-
(iii) the development of the Company’s current business; and
-
(iv) general working capital.
(d)
Risk of voting dilution
If Resolution 4 is passed and the Company issues securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, then there is a risk to existing Shareholders of economic and voting dilution, including the risk that:
-
(i) the market price for Equity Securities in the same class may be significantly lower on the issue date of the new Equity Securities than on the date Shareholder approval is obtained for this Resolution; and
-
(ii) the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for Equity Securities in the same class on the issue date.
The table overleaf shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders following the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity (based on the formula set out above) using difference variables for the number of issued Ordinary Shares and the market price of Ordinary Shares.
The table overleaf is calculated using the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 6 October 2023.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

Notice of Annual General Meeting
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable ‘A’ in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2) |
Dilution | Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Funds raised | $607,343 | $1,214,687 | $1,822,030 |
*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
(i) There are 43,381,666 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice (ASX Code: CVR).
-
(ii) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 6 October 2023.
-
(iii) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(iv) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(v) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(vi) The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
(vii) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
(viii) 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%.
-
(ix) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(1) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(2) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
Page 10 of 12
Notice of Annual General Meeting
(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(1) the purpose of the issue;
-
(2) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(3) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(4) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(5) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(6) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
(f)
Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022 ( Previous Approval ).
The Company has not made any issues under Listing Rule 7.1A in the period since the previous annual general meeting.
6.4 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice of Meeting. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
