BUSINESS OF THE MEETING
AGENDA
1. RESOLUTION 1 – VARIATION TO TERMS OF PERFORMANCE SHARES
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass, with or without amendment, the following resolution as a special resolution :
“That, subject to and conditional upon the passing of the Essential Resolutions, for the purposes of section 246B of the Corporations Act and in accordance with the Constitution and for all other purposes, the terms of the Performance Shares be varied so that the Expiry Date be amended on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement accompanying this Notice.”
Dated: 30 August 2016
By order of the Board

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Performance Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
Resolution 1 is conditional on all Essential Resolutions being passed at the CLA Meeting. If any of the Essential Resolutions are not passed, than this Resolution 1 will be taken to have been rejected by Performance Shareholders . All Essential Resolutions must be passed for the recapitalisation proposal to proceed.
1. BACKGROUND
On 9 March 2016, the Company lodged a prospectus with ASIC for the purposes of satisfying Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, and to satisfy the ASX requirements for re-admission to the Official List following a change in nature and scale of the Company’s activities pursuant to the Company’s proposed acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Favourit.
On 14 April 2016, ASIC sent the Company an interim order under subsection 739(3) of the Corporations Act, together with a statement of concern. The statement of concern outlined ASIC’s key concerns relating to disclosures made in the prospectus, the key concern being the legality of Favourit’s current business and future strategy. The Company liaised with representatives from ASIC for a number of weeks in order to address ASIC’s concerns, and as such, a replacement prospectus was drafted and submitted to ASIC for delegate review on 3 June 2016. ASIC was not satisfied that the replacement prospectus sufficiently addressed their concerns relating to the legality of Favourit’s business, and as such the Company received an order pursuant to subsection 739(1A) of the Corporations Act on 8 June 2016, which effectively stopped the prospectus, and terminated any hopes of completing the Transaction.
As the Transaction can no longer complete, the Company is determined to continue with its business as an exploration company. The Board believes that the renewed market interest in the resources sector provides an opportunity for the Company to salvage some value for shareholders by continuing exploration activities on its Western Australian nickel assets, namely its Abenego Hill Project.
The Company’s recapitalisation proposal is set out in the CLA Notice of Meeting at section 1.2 of the explanatory statement, together with other relevant information. The Company’s recapitalisation proposal is subject to Shareholders passing all of the Essential Resolutions.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – VARIATION TO TERMS OF THE PERFORMANCE SHARES
Pursuant to the passing of each of the Essential Resolutions, and this Resolution 1 (being a special resolution), the Company will vary the terms of the existing 927,000,000 Performance Shares so that each Performance Share is cancelled upon completion of the Capital Raising. The reason for the variation is that the existing Performance Share milestones are all directly connected to what were the Company’s Kyrgyz coal licences, and as disclosed in the ASX release dated 21 April 2015, the subsidiaries which held the Company’s Kyrgyz coal licences have been put into liquidation, meaning that each Performance Share milestone is no longer capable of being met.
Clause 2.4 of the Constitution provides that the rights attaching to a class of shares may only be varied with the consent in writing of holders of three-quarters of the
4
3279-07/1551835_2
issued shares of that class or with a special resolution passed at a meeting of holders of the shares of that class. Any variation under this clause is subject to section 246B of the Corporations Act.
Section 246B of the Corporations Act provides that if a company has a constitution that sets out the procedure for varying rights attached to shares in a class, those rights may only be varied in accordance with the procedure in the constitution. Further, if a constitution does not set out the procedure for varying the rights attaching to shares in a class, the rights may only be varied by a special resolution of the company and either by special resolution of the class of members holding shares in the class or with the written consent of members with at least 75% of the votes in the class.
The variation sought to the terms of the Performance Shares is to enable the Performance Shares to expire upon the Company’s completion of the Capital Raising and being readmitted to trading on the official list of ASX. The existing terms of the Performance Shares are set out in Schedule 1. The terms of the Performance Shares after the variation (if approved) are set out in Schedule 2. The only difference is to amend the definition of “Expiry Date” in relation to the Performance Shares from:
“ that date which is five (5) years from the date of issue of the Performance Shares ”,
to
“ that date which is the earlier of five (5) years from the date of issue of the Performance Shares, or that date on which the Company completes the Capital Raising and is readmitted to trading on the official list of ASX ”.
The Performance Shares have been issued to the following parties:

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.
Note: If you wish to appoint a second proxy, you may copy this form but you must return both forms together.
VOTING ON BUSINESS OF MEETING
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 number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the 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.
