EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of Cobre Limited to be held on Tuesday 22[nd] November 2022 at the offices of Baker McKenzie, Tower One - International Towers Sydney, Level 46, 100 Barangaroo Avenue, Sydney at 11.30 am (AEDT).

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in determining how they wish to vote on the Resolutions. Specifically, the Explanatory Memorandum contains information to help Shareholders understand the background to, and the legal and other implications of, the Notice and the reasons for the Resolutions. The Notice and Explanatory Memorandum should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.

All Resolutions except Resolution 4, which is a special resolution, are ordinary resolutions.

ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS

Resolution 1:

Remuneration Report

“That the Shareholders adopt the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2022.”

Background

The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 18 to 24 of the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022, which was lodged with ASX on 29 September 2022. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration policy and reports on the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors and key executives of the Company.

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act stipulates that the Company must propose a resolution to the Shareholders that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The outcome of the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting at which the Directors review the Company’s remuneration policies.

At the Meeting, the Chairman must allow a reasonable opportunity for the Shareholders at the Meeting, as a whole, to ask questions about or make comments on the management of the Company or the Remuneration Report.

Under the Corporations Act:

  • the Company is required to disregard any votes cast on this Resolution by any member of the “Key Management Personnel” ( KMP ) of the Company named in the Remuneration Report and their closely related parties, except as directed by any proxies; and

  • a ‘two-strike’ process in relation to the advisory and non-binding vote on the remuneration report has been introduced. Under the two-strike process if, at two consecutive AGMs, at least 25% of votes cast on a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted are against the adoption of the report, at the second of these AGMs, there must be put to the vote a resolution that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all Directors (except the Managing Director) who were Directors when the second 25% ‘no’ vote was passed must stand for re-election.

KMP are people having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, and include Directors. “Closely related parties” include certain family members and dependents of KMP and companies they control.

8

The Company has not yet received a first strike in relation to its Remuneration Report with over 88.2% of votes being cast on the poll either in favour of the Remuneration Report resolution or open proxies which were cast in favour of the resolution by the Chairman at the Company’s 2020 AGM.

Chairman as proxy

It is very important that the Shareholders appointing the Chairman as their proxy clearly indicate on the attached proxy form the way the Chairman must vote their proxy on Resolution 1. Otherwise, if the Chairman is appointed as a proxy for a person who is permitted to vote on Resolution 1 and the Shareholder does not indicate on their proxy form the way the Chairman must vote, the Chairman will vote that proxy in favour of Resolution 1. Please see the proxy form attached to the Notice for further information.

Recommendation

Noting that each Director of the Company has a personal interest in their own remuneration the subject of this Resolution, the Board does not consider it appropriate to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to voting on this Resolution.

Resolution 2:

Re-election of Mr Michael McNeilly as a Director

“That, for the purposes of Listing Rule 14.5, clause 41 of the Company’s Constitution and for all other purposes, Mr Michael McNeilly retires as a Director of the Company by rotation and, being eligible, is re-elected as a Director of the Company.”

Information about Mr Michael McNeilly

Mr McNeilly was originally appointed as a Director on 6 November 2019 and was last re-elected by Shareholders at the Company’s 2020 AGM. In order to comply with clause 41.3 of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.5, the Board has determined that Mr McNeilly should retire this year and stand for reelection at this AGM.

Michael is the Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger plc (AIM:MTR) and a nominee Director of the Company appointed by Metal Tiger. As a nominee non-executive director of MOD Resources Limited (previously ASX:MOD), he was actively involved in the Sandfire Resources NL (ASX:SFR) recommended scheme offer for MOD Resources which saw Metal Tiger receive circa 6.3 million shares in SFR. Mr McNeilly resigned from the Board of MOD as part of the scheme of arrangement. Mr McNeilly has formerly been a non-executive director of Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP) and a non-executive director at Arkle Resources plc (AIM:ARK). Mr McNeilly serves as a director on numerous of MTR’s investment and subsidiary entities. Mr McNeilly previously worked as a corporate financier with both Allenby Capital and Arden Partners Limited (AIM:ARDN) as well as a corporate executive at Coinsilium (NEX:COIN) where he worked with early stage blockchain focussed start-ups.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board, with the exception of Mr Michael McNeilly, unanimously recommends that the Shareholders approve Resolution 2 as each Director allowed to vote intends to do with regard to their own shareholdings in the Company.

Resolution 3:

“That, for the purposes of Listing Rule 14.5, clause 40.1 of the Company’s Constitution and for all other purposes, Dr Ross McGowan, being a Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy, retires as a Director of the Company and, being eligible, is elected as a Director of the Company.”

Information about Dr Ross McGowan

Dr McGowan was appointed by the Board as a Director on 22 June 2022. In order to comply with clause 40.1 of the Constitution, as Dr McGowan was appointed by the Board since the last election of directors, he is required to stand for election at this AGM.

Dr Ross McGowan is the Managing Director & CEO of ASX-listed Armada Metals Limited (ASX: AMM) and founded the Resource Exploration & Development Group, which was responsible for generating the Kitlanya East and West prospect areas held by Kalahari Metals Limited, as well as having over 20 years of academic, technical and corporate experience in mining exploration in Africa. Ross was a corecipient of the 2015 PDAC Thayer Lindsley Award for an international Mineral Discovery for Kamoa. Ross holds an MGeol, PhD and is a fellow of the Geological Society of London and a Fellow of the Society of Economic Geologists.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board, with the exception of Dr McGowan, unanimously recommends that the Shareholders approve Resolution 3 as each Director allowed to vote intends to do with regard to their own shareholdings in the Company.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION

Resolution 4:

Approval for Additional Placement Capacity

“That, pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing 7.1A, and for all other purposes, the Shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities equating to up to 10% of the issued ordinary capital of the Company (at the time of issue) calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and on the terms and conditions in the Explanatory Memorandum.”

Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to subparagraph (c) below).

The Company may use the 10% Placement Facility to acquire new projects, assets or investments or for feasibility, financing, equity, construction and/or development work on its current or future projects and/or for working capital.

Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

10

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company and will be issued for cash consideration only. The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has only one class of quoted Equity Securities, Ordinary Shares.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of fully paid Ordinary Securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid Ordinary Securities issued in the 12 month period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exceptions 9, 16 or 17);

  • (B) plus the number of fully paid Ordinary Securities issued in the 12 month period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period or the issue of, or agreement to issue the convertible securities was approved or taken to have been approved under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid Ordinary Securities issued in the 12 month period under an agreement to issue the Ordinary Securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period or the agreement or issue was approved or taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (D) plus the number of any other fully paid Ordinary Securities issued in the 12 month period with approval under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (E) plus the number of partly paid Ordinary Securities that became fully paid in the 12 month period;

  • (D) less the number of fully paid Ordinary Securities cancelled in the 12 month period.

[Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.]

  • D

  • is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue (or since the date of quotation if less than 12 months) where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

As at the date of the AGM, the Company has 203,709,435 Shares on issue, and assuming Resolutions 3 and 5 as passed at the EGM, the Company will have 213,684,178 Shares on issue. The table below illustrates the calculation of "A" as referred to in the formula above,

11

assuming Resolutions 3, 5 and 6 are approved at the EGM. The calculations below do not include any Shares that will be issued pursuant to Resolutions 1, 2 and 4, assuming those resolutions are passed at the EGM, as it is not currently anticipated that any Shares will be issued pursuant to those resolutions immediately after the AGM.

Assuming Resolution 6 is passed at the EGM, the number of Equity Securities that has not been approved by shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or subsequently under Listing Rule 7.4 is nil.

Therefore, the Company will have the capacity to issue:

  • (i) 32,052,626 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (on the assumption Resolutions 3, 5 and 6 are passed at the EGM and the shares issued thereunder); and

  • (ii) subject to the passing of Resolutions 3, 5 and 6 at the EGM and the issuing of the shares thereunder, a further 21,368,417 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section subparagraph (c) above).

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

12

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

(g) Announcement

When the Company issues any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the Company must:

  • (i) state in its announcement of the proposed issue under Listing Rule 3.10.3 or in its application for quotation of the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 2.7 that the Equity Securities are being issued under rule 7.1A; and

  • (ii) give to ASX immediately after the issue a list of names of the persons to whom the Company issued the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each. This list is not for release to the market.

Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of this Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid on the earlier of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking)).

13

  • (b) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) fund exploration expenditure;

  • (ii) acquire or otherwise invest into new projects or assets;

  • (iii) due diligence;

  • (iv) fund feasibility studies for existing or new projects; and/or

  • (v) working capital.

  • (d) If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval. If the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are exercised). There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares of $0.17 and the current number of Ordinary Securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A (2) as at 11 October, 2022.

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue as at the date of the Notice. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting or already approved by shareholders; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (ii) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. (vii) The issue price is $0.17, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 11 October 2022; and

  • (viii) Resolutions 3, 5, and 6 are passed at the EGM (refer to the table at paragraph (d) under "Description of Listing Rule 7.1A").

  • (e) Allocation policy

  • (i) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including, but not limited to the following:

    • a. While the Company has no present intention to raise funds under the mandate or to approach any party or parties directly to participate in any such issue, this may change depending on the success of the Company’s drilling programs and a broad range of other opportunities that may arise;

    • b. the number of issues the Company may make during the 12 month mandated period and the time frame over which they will be made, which will depend on the factors in (a) above;

    • c. the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

    • d. the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

    • e. the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

15

  - f. advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
  • (ii) The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not Related Parties or associates of a Related Party of the Company.
