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:
-

John Lester DIRECTOR CLASSIC MINERALS LIMITED
Page | 6
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 Ibis Hotel, Pepper Room, 334 Murray Street, Perth at 11.00am WST on Friday 08 November 2019.
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 2019 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 – Re-election of Lu Ning Yi
Mr Lu Ning Yi retires as a director and being eligible offers himself for Re-election.
Page | 7
Mr Lu Ning Yi had a long career as an experienced and respected financial journalist with China’s Jiangsu Economic newspaper. His position placed him in direct contact with many of China’s top business executives. Since coming to Australia, Mr Lu has maintained and expanded his extensive Chinese and Australian business relationships. Mr Lu is a director of Chi Masters International Pty Ltd.
All the Directors, other than Mr. Yi, recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
3. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PLAN
Background
As noted in Section 7.1, the Company wants to have the ability to offer eligible participants (being directors, employees or contractors of the Company) the opportunity to be issued Performance Rights under a new proposed performance rights plan ( Performance Rights Plan ).
The Performance Rights issued under the Performance Rights Plan will continue to be used to attract, motivate and retain eligible participants and to provide them with an incentive to deliver growth and value to all Shareholders.
Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholders' approval for the adoption of the Performance Rights Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9(b).
Under the Performance Rights Plan, the Board may offer to eligible participants the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Performance Rights in the Company as the Board may decide and, on the terms, set out in the Performance Rights Plan and the associated terms and conditions. A copy of the Performance Rights Plan can be obtained by contacting the Company.
The Board (excluding those entitled to participate in the Performance Rights Plan) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. No Performance Rights can be issued to a director or an associate of a director without shareholder approval, that is, shareholder approval in addition to the shareholder approval of the Performance Rights Plan.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
• Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.2 Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the Performance Rights Plan:
-
(a) the material terms of the Performance Rights Plan are summarised in Schedule Y;
-
(b) this is the first approval sought under Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 with respect to the Performance Rights Plan;

Performance Rights may have an expiry date as the Board may determine in its absolute discretion and specify in the Offer. The Board is not permitted to extend an expiry date without shareholder approval.

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 resolution 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 resolution 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 resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution 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 Resolution 1 & 3, by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolution 1 & 3.
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 a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as they see fit on that resolution.
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.
LODGE YOUR PROXY FORM
This Proxy Form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be received at an address given below by 11.00am (WST) on 6 November 2019, being not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting. Proxy Forms received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
