New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

if proxy holders vote, they must cast all ‘directed’ proxies as directed; and
-
any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.
Further details on these changes are set out below.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote
Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :
-
the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
-
if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).
Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:
-
an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the company's members; and
-
the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
-
at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and
-
either of the following applies:
-
the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;
-
the proxy does not vote on the resolution,
the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of Classic Minerals Limited to be held at the Hyatt Regency Perth, Mosman Bay Room, 99 Adelaide Terrace at 11.00am WST on Wednesday 29 November 2017.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting (of which this Explanatory Statement forms a part).
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.
- Ordinary Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report (non-binding resolution)
In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put a resolution to Shareholders that the remuneration report be adopted at the Annual General Meeting. The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Pursuant to section 250R of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to a vote of Shareholders. The Annual Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors, the Managing Director and other Key Management Personnel.
The Annual Report is available on the Company's website at www.classicminerals.com.au The Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 need only be an advisory vote of Shareholders. However, in addition, the Corporations Act now provides that if the Company’s remuneration report resolution receives a “no” vote of 25% or more of votes cast at the Meeting, the Company’s subsequent remuneration report must explain the Board’s proposed action in response or, if the Board does not propose any action, the Board’s reasons for not making any changes. The Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the remuneration policy, even if it receives less than a 25% “no” vote.
In addition, the Corporations Act now sets out a ‘two strikes’ re-election process. Under the ‘two strikes’ re-election process, if the Company’s remuneration report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more of all votes cast at two consecutive annual general meetings (that is, ‘two strikes’), a resolution (the ‘spill resolution’) must be put to the second annual general meeting, requiring Shareholders to vote on whether the Company must hold another general meeting (known as the ‘spill meeting’) to consider the appointment of all of the Directors who stand for reappointment (other than the Managing Director). If the spill resolution is approved by a simple majority of 50% or more of the eligible votes cast, the ‘spill meeting’ must be held within 90 days of that second annual general meeting (unless none of the Directors, other than the Managing Director, stand for re-appointment).
Further information will be provided on the ‘spill resolution’ and ‘spill meeting’ for any annual general meeting at which the Company may face a ‘second strike’.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

2. Ordinary Resolution 2 – Election of Mr Frederick Salkanovic
Mr Salkanovic was appointed by the directors to fill a casual vacancy and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4. Details regarding Mr Salkanovic are set out in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report. The Directors, other than Frederick Salkanovic recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 2.
3. Ordinary Resolution 3 – Re-Election of Mr Lu Ning Yi
Mr Lu Ning Yi retires as a director and being eligible offers himself for Re-election.
Mr Lu Ning Yi has extensive business relationships in the greater China region; and the Directors, other than Mr. Yi recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 3.
- Ordinary Resolutions 4 – 14 Ratification of Prior Issues of Shares
4.1 Background
During the last 12 months, the Company issued 89,611,839 Shares without disclosure to investors under the exceptions provided in section 708 of the Corporations Act. The corporate and professional advisors were not related parties of the Company.
4.2 Corporations Act
None of the allottees the subject of Resolutions 4 - 14 in conjunction with any of their associates, hold, either before, during, or after any of the issues the subject of Resolutions 4 -14 more than 19.9% of the issued capital of the Company.
4.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Resolutions 4 to 14 seeks Shareholder ratification of these issues of Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolutions 4 to 14 the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future of up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Unless otherwise stated, none of the Directors have a material personal interest in the subject matter of Resolutions 4 to 14. The Board believes that the ratification of the issues of the Shares is beneficial for the Company. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 to 14 as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue, subject to the limits under the ASX Listing Rules, further securities during the next 12 months without Shareholder approval.
