EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
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 Friday 28 November 2018.
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 2018 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.
1. 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 re-appointment (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 John Hugh Lester
Mr Lester 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 Lester are set out in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report. The Directors, other than John Hugh Lester recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 2.
Page | 8
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
3. Ordinary Resolution 3 – Re-election of Fredrick Salkanovic
Mr Fredrick Salkanovic retires as a director and being eligible offers himself for Re-election.
Mr Salkanovic has a history of mining in Western Australia and throughout Australia for the past 45 years. ; and the Directors, other than Mr. Salkanovic recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 3.
4. Ordinary Resolutions 4 – 10 Ratification of Prior Issues of Shares
4.1 Background
During the last 12 months, the Company issued 747,504,653 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 - 10 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 10 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 10 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 10. 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 10 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.

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE MEETING, PLEASE BRING THIS FORM WITH YOU. THIS WILL ASSIST IN REGISTERING YOUR ATTENDANCE.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
This form shows your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM
Individual:
Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.
Joint Holding:
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid.
PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chair) or other member of the Company’s key management personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Item 1, by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Item 1.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on an item (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that item), the Chair may vote as they see fit on that item.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.
Power of Attorney:
If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies:
Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
