ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

PURPOSE OF INFORMATION

This Explanatory Memorandum (" this Memorandum ") accompanies and forms part of the Company’s Notice of Annual General Meeting to be held at Level 1, 14 Outram Street, West Perth, Western Australia, 6005 on 23 November 2017 at 2.00pm (WST). The Notice of Annual General Meeting incorporates, and should be read together with, this Memorandum.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

2017 Annual Financial Statements

The 2017 Annual Financial Statements, comprising the Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditor's Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 will be laid before the meeting. Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the 2017 Annual Financial Statements and the management of the Company. A representative of the auditor will be invited to attend to answer questions about the audit of the Company’s 2017 Annual Financial Statements.

The Company’s 2017 Annual Financial Statements are set out in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report which can be obtained from the Company’s website, www.challengerenergy.com.au or upon request to the Secretary at the registered office of the Company at Level 17, 500 Collins Street, Melbourne Vic 3000 (telephone (03) 9614 0600).

There is no requirement for these reports to be formally approved by shareholders. No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

Resolution 1 Non-binding Resolution - Remuneration Report

The Company is required, pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“ the Corporations Act ”), to propose a non-binding resolution regarding the 2017 Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Director’s Report in the 2017 Annual Financial Statements. The vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Shareholders attending the 2017 Annual General Meeting of the Company will have the opportunity to discuss and put questions in respect of the Remuneration Report.

The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its Directors. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies. Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings (“ AGM ”) (treating this AGM as the first such meeting), shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGM's on a resolution (a " spill resolution ") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director and CEO) must be put up for re-election. The vote on the Remuneration Report contained in the Company's 2016 Annual Financial Statements was passed with the support of more than 75% of votes thus a spill resolution will not be required in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2017 Remuneration Report. However, in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2017 Remuneration Report, shareholders should be aware that if there is a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at the same resolution at the 2018 AGM the consequences are that it may result in the re-election of the Board.

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting. In particular, Directors and key management personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, or closely related parties of key management personnel must not vote on Resolution 1 and must not cast a vote as proxy, unless the proxy appointment gives a direction on how to vote or unless the proxy is the chair of the meeting and the authorisation express authorises the chair to vote undirected proxies on Resolution 1.

Resolution 2 Re-election of Mr William Fredrick Bloking as a Director

Resolution 2 is a resolution for the re-election of Mr William Fredrick Bloking as a Director of the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution of the Company (“ Constitution ”) provides that:

  • (a) at the Company’s first AGM after incorporation, all Directors shall retire from office;

  • (b) at the Company’s AGM in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election;

  • (c) the Directors to retire at an AGM 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 amongst themselves) be determined by drawing lots;

  • (d) a Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election; and

  • (e) in determining the number of Directors to retire, no account is to be taken of a Director who only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to clause 13.4 of the Constitution.

The Company currently has 3 Directors and accordingly 1 must retire.

Mr Bloking retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution and the Listing Rules and, being eligible, offers himself for reelection.

The Board, with Mr Bloking abstaining from making a recommendation, recommends shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3 Approval of Share Placement Facility (Special Resolution)

1. General

The ASX has introduced fund raising rules to provide more flexibility for smaller companies to raise additional capital in an easier and potentially less costly manner. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after an Annual General Meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is, as at the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting, an eligible entity.

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. The exact number of equity securities (if any) to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 2(c) below). The Company may use funds raised from any 10% Placement Facility for funding of existing projects or new projects and/or general working capital. It may also use the 10% Placement Facility for non-cash consideration purposes such as in connection with joint venture agreements or arrangements, as payments to consultants or contractors or in connection with the acquisition of new projects (although the Company presently has no proposal to do so).

The Company obtained shareholder approval to make issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2016 AGM and seeks to refresh this shareholder approval so as to continue to be able to make issues under the 10% Placement Facility after the 2017 AGM in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company did not issue any shares during the year under the capacity available to it under Listing Rule 7.1A pursuant to approval obtained at its 2016 AGM.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

2. Description of ASX 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 AGM.

  • (b) Equity securities

CHALLENGER ENERGY LIMITED | ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2017

Page | 6

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 one class of quoted equity securities, being ordinary shares (CEL).

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an AGM may, during the 10% Placement Period (defined in section 2(f) below), issue a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

where:

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

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX 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 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;

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

Note: “A” is has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity. 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 the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

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

As at the date of this Memorandum, the Company has on issue 389,466,818 ordinary shares and therefore would have the capacity to issue:

  • (i) 58,420,022 ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1 (15% capacity); and

  • (ii) subject to shareholders approving this Resolution 3, 38,946,681 ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A (10% capacity).

The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 2(c) above).

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of equity securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be no less than 75% of the VWAP of equity securities in the same class calculated over the 15 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 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained and expires (and ceases to be valid) on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) ( 10% Placement Period ).

(g) ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors of the Company to issue the equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period separate to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

CHALLENGER ENERGY LIMITED | ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2017

Page | 7

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative).

3. Specific Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

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

  • (a) Any equity securities issued will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s equity securities over the 15 trading days 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 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 3 is approved by the shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing shareholders’ voting power in the Company would be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of options, only if the options are exercised). There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s equity securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the equity securities than on the date of the 2017 Annual General Meeting; and

  • (ii) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of the Company’s ordinary shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of the Notice. The table also shows:

  • Two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary shares the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require shareholder approval (for example, a pro-rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders’ meeting.

  • Two examples of where the price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price (being $0.022 the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares at close of trading on 18 October 2017).

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

(i) The Company issues the maximum securities available under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A being 10% of the Company’s shares on issue at the date of the Meeting.

CHALLENGER ENERGY LIMITED | ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2017

Page | 8

  • (ii) No options are exercised into fully paid ordinary securities before the date of the issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (iii) The table does not demonstrate an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (iv) The table only demonstrates the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. It does not consider placements made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the “15% rule”.

  • (v) The price of ordinary securities is deemed for the purposes of the table above to be $0.022 cents, being the closing price of the Company’s listed securities on ASX on 18 Octoberr 2017 ( Deemed Price ). The Deemed Price is indicative only and does not consider the 25% discount to market that the securities may be placed at.

  • (vi) The table does not demonstrate the effect of listed options being issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, it only considers the issue of the fully paid ordinary securities.

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the equity securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the equity securities will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the equity securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) Non-cash consideration including in connection with joint venture arrangements or agreements, payment of contractors or consultants, or in connection with the acquisition of new projects (although the Company has no present proposal to do so). In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

  • (ii) Cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards advancing the Company’s current projects, acquiring new projects or as working capital.

    • The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities.
  • (e) 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 caseby-case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

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

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company were to pursue an acquisition and were it to be successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.

  • (f) The Company has previously obtained shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2016 AGM. During the 12 month period preceding the proposed date of the 2017 AGM, being on and from 23 November 2016, the Company did not issue any securities, therefore there was no change in the total number of equity securities on issue in the Company as at 23 October 2017.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting to which this Memorandum relates. At the date of that Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the equity securities. No existing shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Note: unless otherwise specified, all monetary amounts are in Australian dollars.
