PROXIES

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting has a right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and can be either an individual or a body corporate. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as a proxy that body corporate will need to ensure that it:

  • a) appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the Meeting, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and

  • b) provides the Company with satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the Meeting.

If such evidence is not received before the Meeting, then the body corporate (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as proxy.

A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two (2) or more votes may appoint two (2) proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

In order to vote on behalf of a company that is a Shareholder, a valid Power of Attorney in the name of the attendee, must be either lodged with the Company prior to the Meeting, or be presented at the Meeting before registering on the attendance register for the Meeting.

Forms to appoint proxies, and the Power of Attorney (if any) under which they are signed, must be posted or lodged at the registered office of the Company, at Level 2, 38 Richardson Street, West Perth WA 6005, or PO Box 396 West Perth WA 6872, or by facsimile to (61 8) 9322 6398, or by email to [email protected] not less than 48 hours before the time of the Meeting or resumption of an adjourned meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote.

An instrument appointing a proxy:

  • a) shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney, or if the appointor is a corporation, either under seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney;

  • b) may specify the manner in which the proxy is to vote in respect of a particular Resolution and, where an instrument of proxy so provides, the proxy is not entitled to vote on the Resolution except as specified in the instrument;

  • c) shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll;

  • d) shall be in such form as the Directors determine and which complies with section 250A of the Corporations Act; and

  • e) which appoints the Chair as proxy but does not specify the way in which the proxy is to vote on a particular Resolution will be recorded as voting in favour of the Resolutions (subject to the other provisions of these notes on proxies and any required voting exclusions including those in the Notice) as this is the Chair’s voting intention.

Corporations

A corporation may elect to appoint a representative in accordance with the Corporations Act in which case the Company will require written proof of the representative’s appointment, which must be lodged with, or presented to, the Company before the commencement of the Meeting.

Proxies given by corporate Shareholders must be executed in accordance with their constitutions, or signed by a duly authorised attorney. A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion, except where the proxy is required by law or the Constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as proxy.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

Undirected and Directed Proxies

The Company encourages all shareholders who submit proxies to direct their proxy how to vote on each resolution.

The Company will not disregard any votes cast on a resolution by a person if the person is the Chair voting an undirected proxy and their appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy.

If you intend to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by marking the boxes for each resolution (for example, if you wish to vote “for”, “against” or “abstain” from voting), or you cannot mark any of the boxes and give the Chair your express authority to vote your undirected proxy (in which case the Chair will vote in favour of all Resolutions).

5

If you intend to appoint another member of the KMP (such as one of the Directors) or one of their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on Resolution 1. If you leave your proxy form undirected on Resolution 1, the relevant KMP (other than the Chair) and their Closely Related Parties will not be able to vote your shares on those resolutions. If the Chair is your proxy and you do not direct the Chair how to vote in respect of Resolution 1 on the proxy form, you will be deemed to have directed and expressly authorised the Chair to vote your proxy in favour of Resolution 1. This express authorisation acknowledges that the Chair may vote your proxy even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP and even though the Chair may have an interest in the outcome of those resolutions and is prohibited from voting on those resolutions (other than as authorised proxy holder) because of that interest.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the meeting will automatically default to the Chair, who is required to vote proxies as directed.

If you appoint any other person as your proxy

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of Cazaly Resources Limited in connection with the business specified to be conducted in the Notice of Annual General Meeting at the annual general meeting of Shareholders to be held at Level 2, 38 Richardson Street, West Perth, Western Australia 6005 at 10.00am WST on 24 November 2017 .

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information that the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

The Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Memorandum and Proxy Form are all important documents. The Directors recommend that Shareholders read them carefully in their entirety before making a decision on how to vote at the Annual General Meeting.

A Glossary of terms frequently used in this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum can be found at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the 2017 Financial Report together with the Declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report thereon.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the 2017 Financial Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The 2017 Financial Report is available on its website at www.cazalyresources.com.au .

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 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 Board or the Company.

2.2 Voting Consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011 (known as the ‘two strikes’ rule), if at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report at the two consecutive annual general meetings, the company will be required to put to shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the company's AGM where the second consecutive strike is received. All of the directors, other than a Managing Director, who were in office when the board approved the last directors’ report and who remain in office at the time of the Spill Meeting, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for reelection at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors is approved will be the directors of the company.

The Audited Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Audited Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the 2017 Financial Report.

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, held on 24 November 2016, less than 25% of votes were cast against the remuneration report at that meeting. Accordingly the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors, at their discretion, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.

7

3. RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR TERRY GARDINER

3.1 Background

Clause 11.12 of the Constitution requires that any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board, holds office until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for election.

Mr Terry Gardiner was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director on 1 December 2016. Mr Gardiner retires by virtue of clause 11.12 of the Constitution and, being willing and eligible for election, seeks election.

The profile of Mr Terry Gardiner is set out in the 2017 Financial Report.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Terry Gardiner) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR CLIVE JONES

4.1 Background

Clause 11.3 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), then the number nearest one-third, shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of three (3) years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for reelection.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 11.3 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has three (3) Directors and accordingly one (1) must retire by rotation.

Mr Clive Jones retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution and, being willing and eligible for re-election, seeks re-election. The profile of Mr Clive Jones is set out in the 2017 Financial Report.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Clive Jones) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

5.1 Purpose of resolution

The purpose of this special resolution is to authorise the Directors to seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue a further 10% of the Company’s issued share capital under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period in addition to and without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the existing 15% annual placement capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.2 General information

Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables “eligible entities” to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting if the Equity Securities are in an existing quoted class of the Company’s securities (“ 10% Placement Facility” ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement annual capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An “eligible entity” for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

8

The Company is an eligible entity and has a current market capitalisation of $8.6 million.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting. As Resolution 4 is a special resolution 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 for it to be passed.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 4 the exact number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to 5.3 (c) below).

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon the issue of any Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

5.3 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting, which is in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has two classes of Equity Securities, namely Shares and Quoted Options.

(c) Formula for calculating Additional 10% Placement Facility

Listing rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(a x d) – e

a is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% annual placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

d is 10%

e is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 186,727,588 Shares on issue and therefore has a capacity to issue:

9

  • (i) 15% or 28,009,138 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 10% or 18,672,759 Equity Securities subject to Shareholder approval being sought under this Resolution 4 under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities, or the agreement date, in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to 5.3(c) above).

(e) Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the below information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility:

Minimum Price

The minimum price at which Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity is 75% of the VWAP of securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price of the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • if they are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility commencing on the date of the Meeting and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting; or

  • the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • the market price for the Equity Securities to be issued may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.

  • a) Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue. If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

  • b) The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice, assuming the full 10% dilution.

  • c) 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 Facility.

*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 under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue at 16 October 2017.

  • The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 16 October 2017.

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility hence the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • 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, and if necessary seek advice from their professional advisers.

  • No unlisted options of the Company are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, and not dilution under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, or Shareholder approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Facility

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • as cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use the funds raised towards continued exploration and development of the Company’s projects, the evaluation and acquisition of new opportunities and general working capital; or

  • as non-cash consideration for the exploration and development of the Company’s projects, the evaluation and acquisition of new assets and other investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

Allocation under the 10% Placement Facility

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • the purpose of the issue;

  • the alternative methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • the circumstances of the Company, including but not limited to the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

  • prevailing market conditions; and

Directors' Recommendation

The Directors consider that the approval of the issue of the 10% placement facility described above is beneficial for the Company as it provides the company with the flexibility to issue up to the maximum number of securities permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in the next 12 months (without further shareholder approval), should it be required and which will be in addition to, and without using, the company’s 15% annual placement capacity. At the date of the notice, the Company has no plans to use the 10% placement facility should it be approved. Accordingly the Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 4.

6. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – RATIFICATION OF THE ISSUE OF 14,120,000 SHARES AND 7,060,000 QUOTED OPTIONS TO SOPHISTICATED AND PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS

6.1 General

The Company completed a private placement of a total of 14,120,000 Shares and 7,060,000 Quoted Options, at an issue price of $0.05 per Share, to sophisticated and professional investors. The free attaching Quoted Options (exercisable at $0.11 on or before 21 August 2018) were issued on a 1 for 2 basis. The Shares and Quoted Options issued under the placement were issued on 15 May 2017. The ratification of the prior issue of the placement Shares and Quoted Options is sought under Resolutions 5 and 6 in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

The terms and conditions of the Quoted Options are detailed in the Cazaly prospectus lodged with ASIC on 17 August 2016.

6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing, or agreeing to issue, equity securities (which includes shares) that exceed 15% of the total number of fully paid 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 7.1A provides that certain eligible companies may seek shareholder approval at its AGM to issue up to a further 10% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the start of the 12 month period commencing on the date of the AGM ("10% share issue capacity"). The Company is an eligible company and sought and received shareholder approval to the 10% share issue capacity at its AGM on 24 November 2016. The shareholder approval is valid for 12 months from the date of the AGM (that is, until 23 November 2017).

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A will be treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of those Listing Rules if shareholders subsequently approve it and the issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking shareholder ratification for the issue of the Shares and Quoted Options in the placement, as follows:

  • 7,060,000 Quoted Options issued under the Company’s 15% share issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 14,120,000 Shares issued under the Company’s 10% share issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the issue of 7,060,000 Quoted Options issued under the placement will be excluded from the calculations of the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, the issue of 14,120,000 Shares under the placement will be excluded from the calculations of the 10% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
