SPECIAL BUSINESS

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF FACILITY OPTIONS

On 29 September 2010, the Company announced it had entered into a Bridging Facility (“Facility”) with a range of institutions, sophisticated investors, professional investors and Related Parties to provide a loan amount of a minimum of A$2 million and maximum of A$4 million. The Facilities have been arranged as a short-term finance for the purpose of allowing for:

  • completion of the Parker Range Bankable Feasibility Study;

  • Parker Range environmental, mining and other permitting activities; and

  • general working capital requirements.

In accordance with the terms of the Facility, the Company issued at no cost, 100,000 Facility Options for every $100,000 drawn down. The Company has drawn down A$2,400,000 million to date and has issued 1,600,000 Facility Options. The remaining 800,000 Facility Options to be issued are subject to Shareholder approval and are the subject of Resolution 4 and Resolution 5 to this Notice of Meeting. The terms of the Facility Options are outlined in Annexure A to this Notice of Meeting.

Under Resolution 3, the Company seeks from Shareholders ratification of the issue of the equity securities being the 1,600,000 Facility Options issued under the Facility. This is so as to limit the restrictive effect of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on any further issues of equity securities in the next 12 months, and restore the Company's ability to issue equity securities within that 15% annual limit, to the extent of the 1,600,000 equity securities.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing, or agreeing to issue, equity securities (which include shares) that exceed 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue in any 12 month period, unless approval is obtained from the holders of the company’s ordinary securities.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that the approval of holders of the company’s ordinary shares may be obtained after the issue of equity securities. The effect of such ratification is to restore the company’s discretionary power to issue further Shares up to 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the beginning of the relevant 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval.

The approval of Resolutions 3 will enable the Company at any time during the next 12 months to issue equity securities up to the 15% threshold set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the Facility Options described below the subject of Resolution 3 counting towards that 15% threshold.

The outcome of Resolution 3 will have no effect on the issue of the Facility Options under the Facility as they have already been issued. However, if Resolution 3 is not approved by Shareholders, it will restrict the ability of the Company to issue securities without Shareholder approval until the Company's 15% capacity is replenished, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1.

Cazaly Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting ABN 23 101 049 334

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

7. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN

At the General Meeting held on 18 June 2010, members approved the issue of Options (“Plan Options”) under the Cazaly Resources Limited Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”). The Company now proposes to adopt a new Employee Incentive Plan (“EIP”) to replace the previously approved ESOP. The Board believes that the future success of the Company will depend in large on the skills and motivation of the people employed in the business and the ownership of shares in the Company by its employees.

The reason for the adoption of the proposed EIP is that taxation legislation changes made in Australia in mid-2009 have resulted in the taxation of options at values in excess of the intrinsic value, or the amount that an employee could realise by exercising the option and divesting the underlying Share. This new taxation treatment has therefore significantly reduced the effectiveness of options as an incentive for employees. Accordingly, the new EIP is structured so that the Board may award Performance Rights which ultimately can vest into Shares, as well as Options (together “Incentives”) should circumstances permit. In contrast to an Option, a Performance Right does not have an exercise price and therefore allows an employee to benefit by exercising their Performance Rights upon satisfaction of their vesting conditions without needing to provide any cash consideration.

The EIP is substantially in the same form as the ESOP and is aimed specifically at driving long term performance for Shareholders, a culture of employee share ownership in the business and retention of executives and employees. Accordingly, the EIP will form an important part of a comprehensive remuneration strategy for the Company’s employees, aligning their interest with those of Shareholders by linking their rewards to the long term success of the Company and its financial performance. Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the EIP.

Requirement for Shareholder approval

The Board is seeking Shareholder approval for the EIP in accordance with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Best Practice Recommendations. In addition approval is also sought under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) which will exempt the issue of Incentives under the EIP from the 15% annual limit on the issue of new securities without prior Shareholder approval (under ASX Listing Rule 7.1) for a period of three years from the date of the passing of Resolution 8. In the absence of such approval, the issue can still occur but is counted as part of the 15% annual limit which would otherwise apply during a 12 month period.

Key Features of the Proposed Employee Incentive Plan (EIP)

The EIP is targeted at Cazaly’s employees including Executive Directors (as determine by the Board from time to time). There are currently approximately 12 employees who will participate in the EIP and this number is expected to grow if the Company’s primary asset, the Parker Range Iron Ore Project, is developed.

The EIP allows the Board to grant Incentives to eligible participants. The vesting terms for Incentives to be offered under the EIP will be decided by the Board from time to time. Where appropriate, and where employees (i.e. senior management) can exercise significant influence over the business, the Board will establish policies on vesting of Incentives using performance hurdles linked over the long term to encourage employees to focus on performance over the long term.

The number of Incentives to be issued under the EIP will be decided by the Board from time to time. However the applicable ASIC Class Order limits the maximum number of securities which may be issued to employees under incentive plans in a 5 year period to 5% of the issued share capital of the Company (calculated at the date of the offer under the EIP), subject to a range of exclusions, including securities issued under a disclosure document, to certain senior executives or issues of securities outside of Australia.

Performance Rights issued under the EIP will not require the employee to pay any amount to the Company upon vesting. However, the Board may grant Options under the EIP. If it chooses to do so, the Board has discretion to determine the exercise price, the expiry date and vesting conditions of the Options.

Incentives automatically vest in the event that a takeover bid is made for Cazaly, or where there is a change in control of more than 50% of Cazaly. The Incentives carry no dividend or voting rights.

Cazaly Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting ABN 23 101 049 334

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing, or agreeing to issue, equity securities (which include shares) that exceed 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue in any 12 month period, unless approval is obtained from the holders of the company’s ordinary securities. However certain issues are exempt from the restrictions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and will not be counted as reducing the number of equity securities which the company can issue without shareholder approval under the limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Exempt issues include an issue of securities to persons participating in an employee incentive plan where shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the plan as an exemption from ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholder approval must be given in a general meeting held not more than 3 years before the date of the issue of such securities. In order to take advantage of the exemption from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and allow the Company flexibility to issue securities, Shareholders are requested to approve the issue of Incentives as an exemption from ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This approval will be effective for a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting.

As at the date of the Meeting, no Incentives will have been issued under the proposed EIP.

If Resolution 6 is passed the Company will cease to issue Options under the existing ESOP. The total number of Options issued under the existing ESOP since it was approved was Nil.

A summary of the terms of the proposed EIP are set out in Annexure B to this Notice of Meeting. A copy of the full terms of the EIP can be obtained by either contacting the Company Secretary on +6189322 6283 or by email [email protected].

Directors' Recommendation

The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

8. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF POTENTIAL TERMINATION BENEFITS UNDER THE PROPOSED EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN

The Corporations Act restricts the benefits which can be given to certain persons (those who hold a managerial or executive office, as defined in the Corporations Act) on leaving their employment with the Company or a related body corporate (“the Group ). Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the company or its related bodies corporate if it is approved by shareholders or an exemption applies. The provisions of the Corporations Act relating to termination benefits were amended in 2009 to significantly reduce the maximum termination benefits that can be given without prior shareholder approval and to expand the scope of the provisions. The new, lower termination benefits cap applies to all Directors (including executive Directors) and, since November 2009, to all key management personnel of the Group (that is, to all persons whose remuneration is required to be disclosed in the Company’s Remuneration Report), including those who are not Directors. Additionally, persons subject to the restrictions remain subject to them for at least three years after they cease to be managerial or executive officer.

Resolution 6 to this Notice of Meeting seeks Shareholder approval for the implementation of a new Cazaly Employee Incentive Plan (“EIP”). Under the newly proposed EIP (the subject of Resolution 6), circumstances in which the early vesting of Options or Performance Rights are permitted, include termination of the employee’s employment or office with the Company due to redundancy or in other circumstances where the Board exercises its discretion to do so as well as change of control events. The term “benefit” under section 200B of the Corporations Act has a wide operation and relevantly includes, in the context of Resolution 8, the early vesting of Incentives granted under the EIP.

Resolution 7, therefore seeks approval to any “termination benefit” that may be provided to an employee under the proposed EIP,the subject of Resolution 6 (subject to any restrictions imposed by ASX Listing Rules), who from, time to time, holds a managerial or executive office (as defined in the Corporations Act) in the Group.

Cazaly Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting ABN 23 101 049 334

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Specifically, Shareholder approval is being sought to give the Board (or the Boards’ delegate) the capacity to exercise certain discretions under the EIP, including the discretion to determine to vest some or all of the unvested Incentives or Options (as relevant) of any relevant participant who is affected by the new termination benefits laws when they leave employment with the Group. Approval is being sought in respect of any current or future participant who holds:

  • a) a managerial or executive office in the Group at the time of their leaving or at any time in the three years prior to their leaving; and

  • b) Incentives granted under the proposed EIP at the time of their leaving

Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to participate in the EIP and so the approval will not apply to them. The Company is seeking approval to assist the Group to meet its existing obligations to executive Directors and employees of the group, and to provide the Group with the flexibility to continue to remunerate employees fairly and responsibly.

If all relevant Shareholder approval is obtained under Resolution 6 and this Resolution 7, and the Board exercises its discretion to vest some or all of an affected participant’s unvested Options (or to provide that the participant’s Incentives do not lapse but will continue and be vested in the ordinary course), the value of the benefit will be disregarded when calculating the relevant participants cap for the purposes of subsection 200F(2)(b) or subsection 200G(1)(c) of the Corporation s Act.

Section 200E of the Corporations Act

Section 200E requires certain information to be provided to shareholders in approving a termination benefit. Whilst the value of the proposed termination benefits cannot current be ascertained, the manner in which the value of the proposed termination benefits is calculated, and the matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to, affect the calculation of the value are as follows:

a) Details of the termination benefits

The proposed EIP, if approved by Shareholders under Resolution 6, contains provisions setting out the treatment of unvested Incentives in situations such as where an employee leaves the Company (in certain circumstances) or where there is a change in control of the Company. For example, under the rules of the EIP, where a participant resigns from his or her employment with the Company before his or her Incentives have vested, the Board may exercise its discretion to determine that some or all of the Incentives will vest, and the basis on which vesting may occur (which may include, without limitation, timing and conditions). Similarly, if a “change of control” occurs, the Board may determine that some or all of a participant’s unvested Incentives will vest, and the basis on which vesting may occur (which may include, without limitation, timing and conditions).

The exercise of these discretions will constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of the Corporations Act’s termination benefits provisions.

b) Value of the termination benefits

The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the proposed EIP cannot be determined in advance. This is because the proposed EIP is subject to approval under Resolution 6 and if approved by Shareholders, various matters will, or are likely to affect that value. Specifically, if the EIP is approved by Shareholders under Resolution 6, the value of a particular benefit will depend on the Company’s share price at the time of vesting and the number of Incentives or Options (as relevant) that the Board decided to vest. Some of the factors that may affect the value of the termination benefits are as follows:

  • the participant’s length of service and the proportion of any relevant performance periods that have expired at the time they leave employment;

  • the participant’s total fixed remuneration at the time grants are made under the relevant Employee Incentive Scheme and at the time they leave employment; and

  • the number of unvested Incentives or Options that the participant holds at the time they leave employment.

Directors Recommendations

The Board, other than Mr McMahon and Mr Jones, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7. As possible recipients of termination benefits under the proposed EIS, it is not appropriate for Mr McMahon and Mr Jones to make a recommendation.

9. RESOLUTION 8 – PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION

Shareholder approval is sought for the amendment of the Constitution. If the special resolution seeking this approval is passed, the amendments will be effective immediately following the Annual General Meeting.

New laws in respect of dividends

In June 2010, the Corporations Act 2001 was amended to allow companies to pay dividends out of capital and assets, as well as out of profits. Prior to the amendment a company could only pay dividends out of profits. The “profits test” for dividends has been replaced by a new three-tiered “net assets test” which provides that a company must not pay a dividend unless:

  • a) the company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend;

  • b) it is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole; and

  • c) it does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors (for example, if the company would become insolvent as a result of paying the dividend).

The new laws are said to enhance flexibility by allowing a company to pay dividends to shareholders out of its capital as opposed to only its profits.

Amendment to Constitution

As the Constitution currently only allows dividends to be paid out of profits, the Boards proposes that the following amendments be made to the Constitution to provide future flexibility to the Board to pay dividends in the circumstances permitted by law.

  • a) replacing clause 17.1 with the following:

“17.1 Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled of shares with special rights to dividend, the Directors may declare a final dividend out of the funds available for distribution under the Corporations Act and may authorize the payment or crediting by the Company to members of such a dividend.”

  • b) replacing clause 17.2 with the following:

“17.2 The Directors may authorize the payment or crediting by the Company to the Members of such interim dividends as appear to the Directors to be justified by the funds of the Company available for distribution under the Corporations Act.”

  • c) replacing clause 17.4 with the following:

“17.4 The Directors may, before declaring any dividend, set aside out of the funds of the Company available for distribution under the Corporations Act, such sums as they think proper as reserves to be applied, at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the funds of the Company may be properly applied”.

  • d) replacing clause 17.6 with the following:

“17.6 The Directors may carry forward so much of the funds of the Company available for distribution under the Corporations Act remaining as they consider ought not to be distributed as dividends without transferring those funds to a reserve.”

Requirement for Shareholder approval

Under section 136 of the Corporations Act, a Company must have member approval by a special resolution to modify or repeal its constitution. Accordingly, Resolution 9 seeks member approval to adopt the proposed amendments to the Constitution.

Directors' Recommendation

The Directors recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

Enquiries - All enquiries in relation to the contents of the Notice of Meeting or Explanatory Memorandum should be directed to the Company’s Joint Managing Directors, Mr Clive Jones and Mr Nathan McMahon or Company Secretary, Ms Lisa Wynne (telephone: +61 8 9322 6283).

ANNEXURE B

Terms and Conditions of the Cazaly Employee Incentive Plan (“EIP”)

As an incentive to employees of Cazaly, the Company has adopted a plan called the Cazaly Employee Incentive Plan ("EIP").

The purpose of the EIP is to give employees, executive directors, executive officers and consultants of the Company an opportunity, in the form of Incentives, to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company. The Directors consider the EIP will enable the Company to retain and attract skilled and experienced employees, board members and executive officers and provide them with the motivation to make the Company more successful.

The key features of the Cazaly EIP are set out below.

Eligible persons

Full and part time employees (and their Associates) of any Cazaly group company (wherever they reside) will be eligible to be issued Incentives. However, there may be some further regulatory requirements for executive directors or employees residing outside Australia.

Upon receipt of such an Offer, the Eligible Person may nominate an associate acceptable to the Board to be issued with the Incentives.

Terms of Incentives

There is no consideration payable upon grant or exercise of a Performance Right.

There is no issue price for Options and the exercise price of Options will be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion.

Shares issued on exercise of Incentives will rank equally with other ordinary shares of the Company.

Incentives may not be transferred without the approval of the Board. Quotation of Incentives on the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) will not be sought. However, in the event that the Company is listed on ASX, it will apply to ASX for official quotation of Shares issued on the exercise of Incentives.

Restrictions on Issues

The number of Incentives granted under the EIP will be decided by the Board from time to time. However, the applicable ASIC Class Order sets out that the Board may not offer Incentives under the Scheme if the total number of shares which would be issued were each Incentive accepted, together with the number of shares in the same class or Incentives to acquire such shares issued pursuant to all employee or executive share schemes during the previous five years, exceeds 5% of the total number of issued shares in that class as at the date of the offer.

Incentives may only be issued or exercised within the limitations imposed by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

The Directors will not be able to participate in the EIP without Shareholder approval being first obtained in a general meeting of Shareholders.

Vesting

The Board has the discretion at the time of the grant of an Incentive under the EIP to determine what (if any) vesting conditions need to be satisfied before the Incentives become capable of exercise.

Vesting on change of control

Incentives that remain subject to a vesting condition immediately vest and may be exercised by the Participant in the event that a takeover bid is made for the Company, or another corporate transaction is pursued (such as a scheme of arrangement , selective capital return etc) which results in the bidder acquiring voting power of more than 50% of the Company.

Cazaly Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting ABN 23 101 049 334

The Board also has a general discretion to allow Incentives to immediately vest if the then Board determines, acting in good faith and consistent with its fiduciary duties, that a person has obtained voting power which is sufficient to control the composition of the Board.

Qualifying Incentives will lapse on their expiry date.

Vesting in other circumstances

The Board may permit a participant to exercise or transfer of Incentives in other limited situations, such as where a resolution is passed approving the disposal of Cazaly's main undertaking or on a winding up of Cazaly.

Expiry Date

The Board may set out in an invitation to participate in the EIP the date and times when any Incentives lapse. The expiry date will be no later than 7 years after the date of grant.

Cessation of Employment

Participation in Future Issues

The holders of Incentives will only participate in new issues, including bonus issues, if they have exercised the Incentives at that time and provided such exercise is permitted by the terms of the Incentives.

If there is a bonus issue to shareholders, the number of shares over which the Incentives is exercisable may be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the Incentives would have received if the Incentive had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

In the event that a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) is made to the holders of the underlying securities in the Company, the exercise price of Options may be reduced in accordance with Listing Rule 6.22.

Capital Reconstruction

In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, all rights of the Incentive holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to the reconstruction of capital, at the time of the reconstruction.

Board Discretion

Under the terms of the EIP, the Board has absolute discretion to determine the exercise price, the expiry date and vesting conditions of any grants made under the EIP, without the requirement for further Shareholder approval.

Instructions for Completing "Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the shareholder’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. Where more than one proxy is to be appointed or voting intentions cannot be adequately expressed using this form an additional form of proxy is available from the Company or you may copy this form.

  2. A duly appointed proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

  3. 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:

  4. Directors of the company;

  5. a Director and a company secretary of the company; or

  6. 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 Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 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 Section 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form enclosed and either:

  4. (a) send the proxy form by post to Cazaly Resources Ltd, Level 2, 38 Richardson Street, West Perth, Western Australia 6005; or

  5. (b) send the proxy form by facsimile to the Company on facsimile number (08) 9322 6398,

so that it is received not later than 11.00 am WST on 27 November 2010.

Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
