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 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.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, 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 previous 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.

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.

2.3 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.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member).

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel .

6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

GENERAL

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Facility ).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 6.1 below). The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Facility during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement Facility granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.

  • 6.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $26,727,717 based on the amount of Shares on issue and expected capital raising price of shares to be issued 2 October 2017.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: CLA).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

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

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

  • (D) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

  • D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX 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 holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

7

  • 6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 5:

  • (a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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; or (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 6.2(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

( 10% Placement Facility Period ).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

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 5 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.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

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 with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 504,296,544 Shares on issue;

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 2 October 2017.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

  4. 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.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  6. 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.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  8. 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%.

  9. 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 Facility , based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

8

(ii) 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.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Facility

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current cobalt and nickel assets, general working capital; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments including previously announced acquisitions, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (e)

Allocation under the 10% Placement Facility

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed placement(s).

The recipients of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of existing Shareholders or new investors (or both) none of whom are related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of issue under the 10% Placement Facility, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods of 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;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company; and

  • (v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

  • (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 2016 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has issued 8,840,863 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.01 per share, 14,734,772 Options with an exercise price of $0.01 and 38,334,889 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.037 pursuant to the Previous Approval.

During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2016, the Company otherwise issued a total of 502,682,510 Shares which represents approximately 31,144% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 30 November 2016, which was 1,614,034.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule A.

(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility, it will give to ASX: (i) a list of the allottees of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

6.3 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 5.
