EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of 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, 15 March 2024.

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. Resolution 1 - Consolidation

1.1 Background

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the consolidation of the Company’s Securities on issue on a 1:50 basis ( Consolidation ). The basis for the Consolidation is to ensure a more appropriate capital structure for the Company going forward and a resultant trading price of the Company’s shares that is suitable for a wider range of investors.

The Directors intend to implement the Consolidation immediately after the Meeting, such that all Securities to be issued in accordance with Resolution 2 will be issued on a “post-Consolidation” basis.

1.2 Corporations Act – requirement for shareholder approval

Section 254H(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a Company may, by resolution passed at a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.

The Listing Rules require that where a Consolidation occurs in respect of ordinary share capital, the number of options in respect of any of those Shares be consolidated in the same ratio and the exercise price be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

1.3 Fractional entitlements

Not all Shareholders will hold a number of Shares that can be evenly divided by 50. Any fractional entitlements of Shareholders as a consequence of the Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

1.4 Capital structure and taxation implications

The effect on the capital structure of the Company of the Consolidation is shown in the table below. Subject to rounding, Shareholders’ proportional holding of Shares will not be affected by the Consolidation.

Securities Pre-Consolidation Post-Consolidation*
Shares on issue 12,357,085,003 247,141,700
Options on issue 2,067,648,309 41,352,966
Performance Rights on issue 1,804,953,333 36,099,067

(*subject to rounding and fractional entitlements)

It is not considered that the Consolidation should have any taxation consequences for Shareholders. However, Shareholders are encouraged to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation. Neither the Company nor the Directors accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation or other Resolutions the subject of this Notice.

1.5 Holding statements and certificates

From the date of the Consolidation, all existing holding statements in respect of Shares, Options and Performance Rights will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Shares, Options and Performance Rights on a pre-Consolidation basis. New holding statements will be despatched to holders not more than 8 business days after the Effective Date (see indicative timetable below).

1.6 Indicative timetable

Subject to Shareholder approval of the Consolidation, the proposed timetable for the Consolidation is set out below. The dates are indicative only and are subject to possible change.

2. Resolution 2 – 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 ).[ 1] A summary of the material terms of the Put Option Agreement were included in the announcement.

The Put Option Agreement provides 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.

On 25 January 2023, Shareholders approved the issue of up 300,000,000 Shares to LDA Capital. On 31 March 2023, Shareholders approved the issue of 500,000,000 Shares to LDA Capital. On 26 May 2023, Shareholders approved the issue of up 1,500,000,000 Shares to LDA Capital.

On 3 February 2023, the Company announced that it had issued a “call notice” to LDA Capital targeting an equity drawdown of 212,003,617 Shares under the Put Option Agreement. The Company subsequently issued 142,000,000 Shares to LDA Capital in accordance with the terms of the Put Option Agreement (see ASX announcement dated 21 March 2023) and the Shareholder approval obtained on 25 January 2023. On 18 March 2023, LDA Capital advised Classic that they would, as permitted under the Put Option Agreement, only purchase 142,000,000 shares at a purchase price per call share (90% x 30 trading day average VWAP) of $ 0.00319. This resulted in LDA Capital holding, on account, 70,003,617 shares. These unpaid-for shares were included into the Call Notice.

On 31 March 2023, the Company announced that it had issued a “call notice” to LDA Capital for the subscription for 587,996,383 Shares which, in addition to 70,003,617 Shares (being the unsubscribed Shares from the 3 February call) totalled 658,000,000 Shares. On 18 May 2023, LDA Capital advised Classic that they would, as permitted under the Put Option Agreement, only purchase 554,588,344 shares at an issue price per call share of $ 0.00089. This resulted in LDA Capital holding, on account, 103,411,656 shares.

On 6 July 2023, the Company announced that it had issued a “call notice” to LDA Capital for the subscription for 446,588,344 Shares which, in addition to 103,411,656 Shares (being the unsubscribed Shares from the 31 March call) totalled 550,000,000 Shares. On 31 August 2023, LDA Capital advised Classic that they would, as permitted under the Put Option Agreement, only purchase 500,000,000 shares at an issue price per call share of $ 0.00080. This resulted in LDA Capital holding, on account, 50,000,000 shares.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 50,000,000 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) to LDA Capital ( LDA Shares ) to provide funding for development of the Company’s Kat Gap gold project. The LDA Shares to be approved are for further Shares to be issued to LDA Capital under future anticipated call notices.

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 2 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 2 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 2.

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 25:

  • (a) The LDA Shares will be issued to LDA Capital (or its nominee).

  • (b) The maximum number of LDA Shares to be issued is 50,000,000 (on a post-Consolidation basis).

  • (c) The 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
$0.055 $2,750,000
$0.05 $2,500,000
$0.0045 $2,250,000
  • (f) The purpose of the issue is to raise working capital for the Company’s Kat Gap gold project.

  • (g) The securities are being issued under the LDA Capital transaction, the material terms of which are set out in Schedule 3.

  • (h) LDA Capital currently holds 1,000,000 shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) representing 0.40% of the Company’s issued capital.

  • (i) Dilutive effect – if:

  • (i) all Shares the subject of Resolution 2 are issued; and

  • (ii) no other Shares are issued to 3[rd] parties; and

  • (iii) LDA Capital does not sell any Shares,

the effect on the Company’s capital structure will be as follows:
