CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING 2018/7

EXEMPTIONS FROM CERTAIN TSX REQUIREMENTS

The Company has applied for and received a waiver (the "Waiver") from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX") from the requirements of sections 461.1, 461.2, 461.3 and 461.4 of the TSX Company Manual (the "Manual"), which relate, respectively, to annual election of Directors, voting on each individual Director, a majority voting policy and the issuance of a news release disclosing detailed voting results for the election of each Director.

In 2016 and 2017, the Company was an "Eligible International Interlisted Issuer" (as defined in the Manual) and accordingly qualified for, and relied on, an exemption from these requirements. As a result of what the Company regards as anomalous trading in Canada in September through November of 2017, Chalice did not qualify as an Eligible International Interlisted Issuer with respect to the 2018 AGM. In light of the Company's past qualification as an Eligible International Interlisted Issuer, the anomalous trading in Canada in September through November of 2017 and the Company's compliance with the requirements of the Corporations Act and the standards of the ASX with respect to Director elections, the TSX has granted the Company the Waiver with respect to the 2018 AGM.

DESIGNATED FOREIGN ISSUER STATUS

Chalice is a “designated foreign issuer”, as such term is defined in National Instrument 71-102 – Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions Relating to Foreign Issuers (“ NI 71-102 ”). As such, the Company is exempt from certain reporting requirements imposed on reporting issuers in Canada. Chalice is subject to the foreign regulatory requirements of the ASX, which is a “foreign regulatory authority” (as defined in NI 71-102). Generally, Chalice will comply with Canadian ongoing reporting requirements if it complies with the regulatory requirements of ASX and files any documents required to be filed with or furnished to ASX on SEDAR.

RESOLUTION 1 – REMUNERATION REPORT

A resolution for adoption of the Remuneration Report is required to be considered and voted on in accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act. The Remuneration Report details the Company’s policy on the remuneration of the Company's Key Management Personnel, being its Non-executive Directors, Executive Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and senior executives and is set out in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report. In accordance with section 250R(3), the vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

Part 2G.2, Division 9 of the Corporations Act provides Shareholders with the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the Managing Director (if the Company then has a Managing Director) if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( “Strike” ) at two consecutive annual general meetings.

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director, if there is then one in place) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2017 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2019 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and to make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

  • (a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chairman) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy:

You must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

8 / CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING 2018

  • (b) If you appoint the Chairman 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. If you do not direct the Chairman how to vote, you will be taken to expressly authorise the Chairman 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.

  • (c) If you appoint any other person as your proxy:

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF MR TIM GOYDER AS A DIRECTOR

Mr Tim Goyder held the position of Managing Director until 23 March 2018, when he transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman. Under clause 17.7(c) of the Company’s Constitution, if the Managing Director ceases to be the Managing Director he immediately ceases to be a Director. Clause 14.3(a) of the Company’s Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional Director, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution. Accordingly, with effect from 23 March 2018, Mr Goyder was appointed as a Director under clause 14.3(a) of the Company’s Constitution.

Under ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 14.3(b) of the Company’s Constitution, any Director so appointed must stand for election at the next following general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders.

Mr Goyder was appointed Executive Chairman on 23 March 2018, and previously held the role as Managing Director. Accordingly, Mr Goyder resigns as a Director at this Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, seeks approval to be elected as a Director.

Mr Goyder has acknowledged to the Company that he has sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director.

Mr Goyder has considerable experience in the resource industry as an Executive and investor. He has been involved in the formation and management of a number of publicly-listed and private companies and is currently Chairman of DevEx Resources Limited (since 2002) and Liontown Resources Limited (since 2006) and a Director of Strike Energy Limited (since 2017), all listed on the ASX.

Mr Goyder has been a Director since 2005 (13 years) and was appointed Executive Chairman on 23 March 2018. Mr Goyder previously held the position of Managing Director. Mr Goyder currently holds 17.25% of the Company, and as Mr Goyder takes an active role in the management of the Company, the Board is of the view that Mr Goyder is not an Independent Director in accordance with Box 2.3 of the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 3[rd] Edition. The Board however believe that Mr Goyder is the most appropriate person for the position of Executive Chairman because of his seniority and expertise.

Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Goyder) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO MR TIM GOYDER

Background

Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of up to but not exceeding 871,751 Performance Rights to Mr Tim Goyder, the Executive Chairman of the Company, or his nominee, under the terms of the Company’s Employee Long Term Incentive Plan ( “Plan” ).

CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING 2018/9

Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of Performance Rights to Mr Goyder under the Plan is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 because Mr Goyder is a Director.

Mr Goyder commenced as Executive Chairman on 23 March 2018, and prior to this appointment, Mr Goyder was the Managing Director of the Company. Further information on Mr Goyder appears at the end of this section of the Explanatory Statement.

Remuneration arrangements

As previously announced, Mr Goyder’s employment contract specifies the following remuneration arrangements:

  • (a) an annual fixed salary of $273,750 per annum inclusive of superannuation; and

  • (b) by way of incentive arrangements, Mr Goyder may participate in incentive plans that may be in place from time to time subject to the Board’s discretion and any Shareholder approvals required.

Summary

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders, the Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Goyder will be calculated and treated as follows:

  • (a) on or about 28 November 2018, Mr Goyder will be issued 871,751 Performance Rights;

  • (b) the number of Performance Rights to be issued was calculated by reference to 50% of Mr Goyder’s annual fixed salary and the Company’s 30 day VWAP at 20 June 2018;

  • (c) on 30 June 2021, being the Measurement Date as defined below, the Remuneration Committee will evaluate the performance of the Company against the criteria set out in the table below to determine the percentage of Performance Rights that will vest, if any; and

  • (d) Mr Goyder is entitled to an annual issue of Performance Rights on or around 1 July each year, subject to future Shareholder approval.

Plan

The Company last established the Plan to provide its executives (including executives and Directors) with long term incentives designed to create a link between the delivery of value to Shareholders, financial performance and the rewarding and retaining of executives. Under the Plan, which was approved by Shareholders on 28 November 2017, the Board has discretion to grant Performance Rights to any person it determines eligible upon the terms of the Plan. Any issue to Directors would additionally require a separate Shareholder approval under the ASX Listing Rules.

A Performance Right is, in effect, a contractual right to be issued a Share on the satisfaction of certain conditions. It follows, therefore, that if these conditions are not satisfied, the Shares would not be issued. Also, the number of Shares ultimately to be issued may not equate to the number of Performance Rights as the issue of those Shares is subject to performance hurdles/conditions to be met.

Proposed number of Performance Rights to be issued

Approval is being sought for the 2018/2019 annual grant of 871,751 Performance Rights to Mr Goyder (or his nominee). Any future annual issues of Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Goyder will require separate Shareholder approval.

Following the issue of the Performance Rights, there is a test or measuring date (which in this case is 30 June 2021) ( “Measurement Date” ). At that date the Board will assess the extent to which the performance conditions or hurdles are met and the extent to which the Performance Rights vest.

If Resolution 3 is approved, Mr Goyder will be invited to apply for, and if application is made, will be issued 871,751 Performance Rights.

10 / CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING 2018

Performance conditions and vesting period

The Performance Rights will not vest (and the underlying Shares will not be issued) unless the performance conditions set by the Board have been satisfied. For the 2018/2019 annual grant of Performance Rights, the Remuneration Committee recommended that up to 25% of the Performance Rights vest on achievement of absolute Total Shareholder Return ( “TSR” ) objectives, 25% on the achievement of relative TSR objectives and up to 50% vest based on achieving key business objectives.

The following table outlines key business objectives and weightings of the performance conditions:

Overall
Performance

Specific Performance Conditions Percentage of granted
Performance Rights that will

Strategic objectives Undertake a significant acquisition or corporate transaction:acquire one or more
assets or undertake a corporate transaction with potential to generate an IRR of at
least 20% using consensus commodity prices and board approved cost assumptions.
AND/OR
Value generation through:

Making a significant new discovery which shows the potential to be economic
based on consensus commodity prices and board approved cost assumptions;
or

substantially increasing the Company’s resource base; or

conducting economic/feasibility studies which show the potential to generate
an IRR of at least 20% using consensus commodity prices and board approved
cost assumptions; or

the sale of an asset(s) at a significant profit.
NB: The determination as to whether the above objectives have been met will be
done by the Board of the Company in a timely manner, acting reasonably and in
good faith.

If the 30 day VWAP as at 30 June 2020 is:

Below $0.21 per Share

Between $0.21 per Share and $0.24 per Share

At or above $0.24 per Share
By way of example, if the 30 Day VWAP as at 30 June 2020 is $0.22 per Share, 13.83%
of the Performance Rights would vest, calculated as follows:
8.25% + (($0.22 - $0.21)/($0.24-$0.21)*(25%-8.25%)= 13.83%
In the event of a corporate action including a demerger, special dividend or
reorganisation of capital (including a consolidation, sub-division, return of capital, or
reduction of capital), the above thresholds are to be amended to account for that
corporate action, provided that such amendment must not provide the Performance
Rights holder with a benefit that holders of Shares do not receive.

Overall
Performance
Condition
Specific Performance Conditions Percentage of granted
Performance Rights that will
vest if performance conditions
are met
Relative TSR
objectives
The performance conditions for Performance Rights issued will be measured by
comparing the Company’s TSR with that of an appropriate comparator group of
companies as determined by the Remuneration Committee over the period from the
grant of the Performance Rights, to the end of the financial year that is 3 years after
that date (vesting date). The Performance Rights will vest depending on the
Company’s percentile ranking within the comparator group on the relevant vesting
date as follows:

Below 50th Percentile

Between 50th and 75th percentile

At or above 75th percentile

0%

Pro rata between 8.25%
and 25%

25%
The comparator group has been determined by the Remuneration Committee to be
comprised of 17 separate entitites within the following parameters:

>A$10M cash and cash equivalents

<A$50M enterprise value

Based in Australia or Canada

Minerals exploration projects only (no development or operating assets)

Comparable explorers proximal to the Company’s existing exploration
projects.

The Measurement Date for the Performance Rights is 30 June 2021, being approximately 3 years from the date of grant.

For the 2018/2019 grant of Performance Rights, relative TSR performance will be assessed against an appropriate group of ASX and TSX listed companies as determined by the Remuneration Committee.

In the event that Mr Goyder ceases his engagement with the Company, any unvested Performance Rights will be dealt with in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In summary, the Plan provides as follows:

  • Termination for cause or other than disability, redundancy or death: Performance Rights are subject to lapsing if the Plan participant’s employment is terminated for cause or in circumstances other than as described below.

  • Disability, redundancy or death: Upon the total and permanent disability, redundancy or death of the Plan participant, the Board will assess the performance of the Plan participant and determine, in light of their performance and the conditions of the Performance Rights, the number of Shares in respect of any unvested Performance Rights which the Plan participant is entitled to receive within:

  • 6 months from the date of the occurrence of the disability, redundancy or death; or

  • such longer period as the Board may determine, not being longer than the original expiry time of the Performance Rights.

Generally in these circumstances, Performance Rights which have not vested within the 6 months or such longer period determined by the Board following the total and permanent disability, redundancy or death of a participant, will automatically lapse. However, the Board will also have the discretion in these circumstances to pay the participant the market value of the Shares in lieu of granting the Performance Rights. The Board may also, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, decide that the calculation of the number of Shares should not be reduced on a pro-rata basis because the participant's employment was reduced as a result of the total and permanent disability, redundancy or death, or bring forward the date on which the Shares will vest in the participant.

12 / CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING 2018

  • Forfeiture : If a Plan participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly, is in breach of his or her obligations to the Company or ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason other than disability, redundancy or death, the Board will have the discretion to deem any Performance Rights to have lapsed.

Please refer to the Company’s notice of annual general meeting announced on 13 October 2017 for a detailed summary of the terms and conditions of the Plan.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a Director of the entity, an associate of the Director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, Director or associate of the Director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Goyder as he is a Director and therefore a related party of the Company. The Board has considered the application of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and has resolved that the reasonable remuneration exception provided by section 211 of the Corporations Act is relevant in the circumstances and accordingly, the Company will not seek approval for the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Goyder pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act in addition to the approval now being sought under the ASX Listing Rules.

As Shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

Listing Rule 10.15 requires the following information to be provided in relation to the Performance Rights which may be issued to Mr Goyder pursuant to the Plan:

  • (a) the Performance Rights will be issued under the Plan to Mr Goyder, who is a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Performance Rights (and hence the maximum number of Shares on vesting of the Performance Rights) which may be issued to Mr Goyder for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019 is 871,751;

  • (c) the price payable on the issue or grant of each Performance Right is nil;

  • (d) since the Plan was last re-approved by Shareholders at the Company's 2017 annual general meeting:

  • (i) Mr Goyder (or his nominee) is the only person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who has received securities under the Plan;

  • (ii) Mr Goyder (or his nominee) received 1,217,989 Performance Rights; and

  • (iii) the acquisition price for each Performance Right was nil;

  • (e) Executive Directors, executives and employees of the Company are entitled to participate in the Plan. Mr Goyder is the only person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who is currently entitled to participate in the Plan;

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice;

  • (g) no loans will be made by the Company in connection with the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Goyder; and

  • (h) the Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Goyder as soon as practicable following the date of the Meeting and in any event no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules).

Except as stated above, all other terms and conditions of Mr Goyder’s Performance Rights are described in the Plan.

CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING 2018/13

Recommendation

The Non-executive Directors are of the view that the remuneration for Mr Goyder, including the grant of Performance Rights is reasonable having regard to the circumstances of the Company, the duties and responsibilities of Mr Goyder as Executive Chairman and market levels of remuneration for directors of similar companies.

The Directors (excluding Mr Goyder) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Earlier History of Mr Goyder

Mr Goyder has considerable experience in the resource industry as an Executive and investor. He has been involved in the formation and management of a number of publicly-listed and private companies and is currently Chairman of DevEx Resources Limited and Liontown Resources Limited and is a Director of Strike Energy Limited, all listed on the ASX.

RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF SHARE ISSUE

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing equity securities (which includes ordinary Shares and Options) representing more than 15% of its share capital in any 12 month period without Shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions). ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows a company to seek subsequent approval for the issue if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such ratification is that the issue is then deemed to have been one to which Shareholder approval has been obtained thus not counting towards the 15% referred to in this paragraph.

Resolution 4 seeks ratification of the share issue (the “Issue”) of 3,000,000 Shares issued to Monarques Gold Corporation on 10 September 2018 in consideration for the acquisition of the 30% interest in the joint venture property within the East Cadillac Gold Project, Quebec.

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5 the following additional information is advised in relation to the Issue:

  • 3,000,000 Shares were issued;

  • the Shares were issued on 10 September 2018;

  • the Shares were issued for a nil issue price;

  • the Shares ranked equally from the date of issue with all existing Shares in the Company;

  • the Shares were issued to Monarques Gold Corporation which is not a related party of the Company; and

  • the Shares were issued as consideration for the remaining 30% interest in the Company’s joint venture property within the East Cadillac Gold Project, Quebec and therefore no funds were raised from the issue.

Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

RESOLUTION 5 - EQUAL CAPITAL REDUCTION

Background

On 1 October 2018, the Company announced that it had determined an updated business strategy focusing on high-impact exploration opportunities in Australia and Canada. As a result, the Board has undertaken a review of its capital needs and determined that its current cash reserves of ~$34 million exceed its immediate and medium term capital requirements to execute this strategy, providing the justification to return excess capital to Shareholders. The proposed capital reduction and return will be approximately $10,662,725, or 4 cents per Share.

Over the past years, a significant number of opportunities worldwide have been thoroughly reviewed on technical and commercial grounds, with the limited pool of quality opportunities and high degree of competition for those projects making the task challenging. The combination of a lack of quality opportunities appropriate for the Company’s financial capability and the Company’s current exploration portfolio, has prompted a shift in focus towards priority exploration stage projects. The proposal to return a substantial amount of capital to Shareholders is a decision that has not been taken lightly.

14 / CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING 2018

After realising more than $100 million in net proceeds from asset sales over the last decade, Chalice had been focused on acquiring an advanced mineral asset with the potential for significant growth and near-term cash flow. However, after careful consideration, the Board believes that continued investment in the Company’s current exploration portfolio provides a compelling opportunity for Shareholders and, in light of this strategic shift, the acquisition of an advanced resource project is no longer the major focus for the Company.

The proposed capital return marks a significant turning point for Chalice. While the decision to return surplus capital to Shareholders is an acknowledgement of the difficulty in finding suitable quality assets in a highly competitive market place, it also highlights the significant exploration opportunities the Company has within it’s current portfolio. The Company’s track record of exploration success is proof that it can deliver returns to Shareholders by pursuing this approach.

Following completion of the capital reduction and return (if approved by Shareholders), it is estimated that the Company would have net cash reserves of approximately $24 million and approximately 267 million Shares on issue. These funds are intended to be used to continue exploration activities in both Canada and at the Company’s Pyramid Hill Project, Victoria and on future investments or exploration project acquisitions. The preceding sentence is a statement of current intentions at the date of this Notice. Intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

Additional information for Shareholders

(a) Entitlement to participate

All Shareholders who are registered on the Company's share register as at the Record Date of 4.00pm (WST) on 30 November 2018 will participate in the capital return.

(b) Amount of entitlement

Each Shareholder who participates in the capital return will receive 4 cents cash for each Share held as at the Record Date.

(c) Indicative timetable

The Company has lodged with ASIC a copy of this Notice of Meeting and the Explanatory Statement in accordance with section 256C(5) of the Corporations Act.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the capital return will take effect in accordance with the timetable as follows:

Event Date
Meeting held and results announced to ASX 27 November 2018
Trading in Shares on an “ex return of capital” basis
starts
29 November 2018
Record Date 30 November 2018
Entitlement paid to Shareholders 17 December 2018

Note: This timetable is indicative only and subject to change.

Shareholder approval and regulatory requirements

(a) Regulatory requirements

The capital reduction is an "equal capital reduction" in accordance with section 256B (2) of the Corporations Act as:

  • (i) it relates only to ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company;

CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING 2018/15

  • (ii) it applies to each holder of ordinary shares in the same proportion to the number of ordinary shares they hold in the Company; and

  • (iii) the terms of the reduction are the same for each holder of ordinary shares in the Company.

Under section 256C of the Corporations Act the capital reduction must be approved by an ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company. Resolution 5 seeks this approval from Shareholders. An ordinary resolution requires a simple majority of votes cast by Shareholders present (in person, by proxy or representative) and entitled to vote on the resolution.

Under section 256B of the Corporations Act, the Company must not effect a reduction of capital unless it:

  • (i) is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders as a whole;

  • (ii) does not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors; and

  • (iii) is approved by Shareholders.

(b) Directors' opinion

The Directors believe that:

  • (i) The capital return is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders as a whole as the terms of the capital return are the same for each Shareholder and the capital return is on a pro-rata basis.

  • (ii) The capital return does not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors as the Company will have sufficient cash reserves to pay its creditors after the capital return.

  • (iii) The Company will remain solvent following the capital reduction.

The Directors have considered the advantages and disadvantages of the capital return, as follows.

Advantages

The primary advantage in approving the capital return is that it will enable the Company to repatriate capital to its Shareholders, which is in excess of its current requirements.

Disadvantages

A disadvantage of the proposed capital return is that following its implementation the Company will have a reduced capital base from which to operate. However, the Directors are of the opinion that the current capital base is in excess of the Company’s current requirements. Also, as set out above, the post capital return net cash reserves of approximately $24 million is expected to be sufficient to pursue exploration activities in the foreseeable future. Further funds can be raised by share issues/placements and, depending upon any project acquired, debt financing or quasi debt financing are further options.

Effect of the proposed capital return

(a) Effect on the Company

The capital return will be paid entirely from the Company's existing cash reserves. The effect of the capital return is that the Company's cash resources will be reduced by the amount of capital (cash) returned (paid) to Shareholders (approximately $10.6 million), while at the same time the paid up capital will decrease by the corresponding amount.

To illustrate the effect of the Return of Capital on the Company's financial position, the unaudited pro-forma balance sheet of the Company (on a post-Return of Capital basis) is set out in Appendix 1.

16 / CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING 2018

(b) Effect on Shareholders

The effect of the capital return is that Shareholders will receive 4 cents for each fully paid ordinary share held on the Record Date. The capital return will have no effect on the number of shares held by Shareholders, the paid or unpaid amount in relation to shares held by Shareholders or on their proportionate interests in the share capital of the Company.

(c) Effect on creditors

The Company will have sufficient cash reserves to pay its creditors after the capital return (see the Directors' opinion above).

(d) Effect on Options

The Company currently has on issue 5,500,000 unlisted Options to acquire Shares in the Company with varying exercise prices and exercise dates.

In accordance with the rules of the Company's Employee Share Option Plan and the ASX Listing Rules, the number of Options on issue will remain the same following the capital return. However, the exercise price of each option will be reduced by the same amount paid in respect of each share under the capital reduction – meaning that the exercise price for each Option on issue will be reduced by 4 cents. The Company will separately advise optionholders of this fact.

(e) Effect on Performance Rights

The Company currently has on issue 13,453,138 Performance Rights that when vested will entitle the holder to acquire shares in the Company. The Performance Rights are subject to varying vesting conditions.

In accordance with the rules of the Company's Employee Long Term Incentive Plan (under which the Performance Rights are issued) and the ASX Listing Rules, the number of shares to which the Performance Rights relates will be adjusted to take into account the effect of the capital return. This will ensure that the holders of Performance Rights will not be disadvantaged as a result of the capital return (but will not receive a benefit that Shareholders do not receive).

The Board has proposed that the Shares to be issued upon conversion of Performance Rights will be adjusted on the following basis:

Adjusted number of Shares upon conversion of Performance Rights after the Capital Reduction = (C x A)/(A-B)

  • A = the 5 day Volume Weighted Average Share Price of the Company prior to the Record Date for the Capital Reduction

  • B = the amount of the Capital Reduction in cents per share (being 4 cents)

  • C = the number of Performance Rights held on the Record Date of the Capital Reduction

(f) Effect on capital structure

The capital return will have no effect on the total number of Shares on issue. Following the capital return the Company will continue to have an issued share capital of 266,568,134 fully paid ordinary shares. As set out above, the number of Options will remain the same and the number of Performance Rights will be increased as outlined in 2(e) above.

Taxation Implications for Shareholders

Chalice has submitted a Class Ruling request on behalf of Shareholders to the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”), to confirm the tax treatment of the proposed return of capital. Details of the tax treatment of the distribution will be released to Shareholders once the Class Ruling has been issued by the ATO.

CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING 2018/17

This section is general in nature and, particular taxation implications will depend on the circumstances of each Shareholder. Accordingly, Shareholders are encouraged to seek their own professional advice in relation to their tax position. Neither Chalice nor any of its officers, employees or advisers assumes any liability or responsibility for advising Shareholders about the tax consequences for them from the proposed capital return.

Directors’ interests and recommendations

All of the Directors of the Company hold Shares and accordingly they will be taking part in the capital return. No Director will receive any payment or benefit of any kind as a consequence of the capital reduction, other than as a Shareholder.

The table below sets out the interests of the Directors (held directly or indirectly) in the Company as at the date of this Notice of Meeting:

Director Number of ordinary

Each of the Directors intends to vote in favour of Resolution 5.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
