EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of Classic Minerals Limited to be held at the Ibis Perth, Sugar Room, 334 Murray Street at 11.00am WST on Friday, 31 March 2023.

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).

1. Resolutions 1 to 25 - Ratification of Prior Issues of Securities

1.1 Background

From 25 January 2023, the Company issued 214,704,807 Securities without disclosure to investors and/or creditors under the exceptions provided in section 708 of the Corporations Act. The investors and/or creditors were not related parties of the Company. The Company had sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 for all the issues of Securities.

1.2 Corporations Act

None of the allottees the subject of Resolutions 1 to 25 in conjunction with any of their associates, hold, either before, during, or after any of the issues the subject of Resolutions 1 to 25, more than 20% of the issued capital of the Company.

1.3 Listing Rule 7.4

Resolutions 1 to 25 seek Shareholder ratification of issues of Securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The issues of Shares to investors and creditors referred to above do not fit within any of these exceptions and, as those issues have not yet been approved by shareholders, they effectively use up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the dates of the issues of Shares.

Listing rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolutions 1 to 25 seek Shareholder approval for the issues of Equity Securities to investors and creditors under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If each of Resolutions 1 to 25 is passed, the issues of Securities to investors and creditors will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issues of Securities to investors and creditors.

If any of Resolutions 1 to 25 is not passed, the Securities issued in respect of that Resolution will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of that issue of Securities.

Relevant information for the purposes of the Listing Rules is provided at section 1.4 below.

2. Resolution 26 – Approval to issue Shares to LDA Capital

2.1 Background

On 15 December 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with LDA Capital, pursuant to which the Company secured the right to require LDA Capital to subscribe for up $15 million in new Shares by way of the Company exercising put options ( Put Option Agreement ). A summary of the material terms of the Put Option Agreement were included in the announcement.

The Put Option Agreement will provide the Company with the flexibility to issue Shares to LDA Capital over the next three years at the Company’s discretion and to receive funds for the issue of those Shares.

Resolution 26 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 500 million Shares to LDA Capital ( LDA Shares ) to provide funding for development of the Company’s Kat Gap gold project.

2.2 Requirement for shareholder approval

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary Securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The issue of the LDA Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions.

Whilst some of the LDA Shares could be issued using the Company’s 15% capacity, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of all the LDA Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 26 is passed, the issue of the LDA Shares can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in listing rule 7.1.

If Resolution 26 is not passed, the Company will not issue the LDA Shares and will explore alternative sources of funding.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 26.

2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3 for the approval of issue of LDA Shares

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 26:

  • (a) the LDA Shares will be issued to LDA Capital (or its nominee);

  • (b) the maximum number of LDA Shares to be issued is 500,000,000; and

  • (c) LDA Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the LDA Shares will be issued on a date which will be not more than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (e) the amount of funds that will be received on issue of the LDA Shares will be dependent on the issue price, being 90% of the 30-day VWAP of shares as at the date immediately prior to the Company issuing the LDA Shares ( Issue Price ). As examples:

Issue Price Amount raised
$0.0030 $1,500,000
$0.0025 $1,250,000
$0.0020 $1,000,000

and

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

2. Exercise price

Each Option shall entitle the holder to acquire one Share upon payment of:

  • (a) the sum of $0.45 per Option in respect of the CLZOA Options; and

to the Company ( Exercise Price ).

  • (b) 5.00pm WST on 1 June 2025 in respect of the CLZAR Options; and

( Expiry Date ).

The Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Expiry Date, by completing and delivering a duly completed form of notice of exercise to the registered office of the Company together with the payment of the Exercise Price in immediately available funds for the number of Shares in respect of which the Options are exercised. An Option not exercised on or before the Expiry Date will lapse. Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options will be issued, and a holding statement or share certificate provided to the holders of Options in respect of those Shares, on the above terms and conditions not more than 15 business days after the receipt of a duly completed form of notice of exercise and the Exercise Price.

Provided the Company is listed on ASX at the time, application will be made for quotation of Shares issued on exercise of Options not later than 15 business days after the date of issue. If required, the Company will give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if such a notice delivered is for any reason not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 business days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

7. Participation and entitlements

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of securities offered to shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company must give notice to the holders of Options of any new issue before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue in accordance with the Listing Rules so as to give holders the opportunity to exercise their Options before the date for determining entitlements to participate in any issue.

8. Reorganisation of share capital

In the event of a reorganisation (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, all rights of holders of Options shall be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

9. Bonus issue

if, from time to time, before the expiry of the Options the Company makes a pro-rata issue of Shares to shareholders for no consideration, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Options had been exercised before the date for calculating entitlements to the pro-rata issue.
