EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.resourcestar.com.au.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2
Voting consequences
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
6
2271-01/1212635_1
2.3 Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
2.4
Proxy voting restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
| Proxy | Directed | Undirected |
|---|---|---|
| Key Management Personnel1 | Voted | Not voted3 |
| Chair2 | Voted | Voted at discretion of Proxy4 |
| Other | Voted | Voted at discretion of Proxy |
Notes:
-
Refers to Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member.
-
Refers to the Chair (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report), or a Closely Related Party of such a member).
-
Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
-
The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR MR ANDREW BELL
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 year, whichever is the longer.
Clause 13.2 of the Constitution provides that:
-
(a) at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election;
-
(b) the Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots; and
-
(c) a Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.
The Company currently has four (4) Directors and accordingly one (1) must retire.
Mr Bell, being the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
7
2271-01/1212635_1
The Directors, other than Mr Bell, support the re-election of Mr Bell and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES
4.1 General
On 16 September 2014 the Company obtained Shareholder approval to issue 113,000,000 Shares at 0.4 cents each to raise $452,000 as part of a placement ( Placement ).
On 4 September 2014, after the notice of meeting seeking approval for the Placement was posted, but before the meeting was held, the Company decided to undertake part of the Placement using its placement capacity and issued 35,000,000 Shares at 0.4 cents per Share to raise $140,000 ( First Tranche ).
As a result of this change, the Company is now seeking Shareholder approval under Resolution 3 to ratify the issue of the First Tranche of Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 ( Ratification ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities 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 a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (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 purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the issue of the First Tranche Shares, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:
-
(a) 35,000,000 Shares were issued;
-
(b) the issue price was $0.004 per Share;
-
(c) the Shares issued were all 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 Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and
-
(e) the funds raised from this issue were used to provide a funds for short term working capital purposes.
8
2271-01/1212635_1
5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS
5.1 General
The Company completed the Placement on 27 October 2014 through the issue of 78,000,000 Shares to sophisticated and professional investors. Together with the First Tranche, the Company has now issued a total of 113,000,000 Shares to investors under the Placement.
As announced on 16 September 2014, the Company has agreed, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules, to grant free attaching Options to investors who subscribe for Shares under the Placement on a 2 for 3 basis.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 75,333,333 free attaching Options to investors to the Placement ( Placement Options ).
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 4.1 of this Explanatory Statement.
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Placement Options pursuant to the Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement Options:
-
(a) the maximum number of Placement Options to be issued is 75,333,333;
-
(b) the Placement Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Placement Options will occur on the same date;
-
(c) the issue price of the Placement Options will be nil as they will be issued free attaching with the Shares issued pursuant to the Placement;
-
(d) the Placement Options will be issued to the subscribers in the Placement on the basis of two (2) Options for every three (3) Shares subscribed for and issued;
-
(e) the Placement Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1; and
-
(f) no funds will be raised from the issue as the Placement Options are being issued free attaching to the Placement Shares for nil cash consideration.
6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
6.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
The Company is an Eligible Entity.
9
2271-01/1212635_1
If Shareholders approve Resolution, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 6.2 below).
The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.
6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $2,457,178.
Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has two classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: RSL) and Options (ASX Code: RSLO).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
| (i) | plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an |
|---|---|
| exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2; | |
| (ii) | plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the |
| previous 12 months; | |
| (iii) | plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with |
| approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This | |
| does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the | |
| entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and | |
| (iv) | less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months. |
10
2271-01/1212635_1
D is 10%.
- E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded 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 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 6.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),
( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
11
2271-01/1212635_1
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable ‘A’ in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2) |

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 429,025,466 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on $0.007 on 22 October 2014.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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%.
-
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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
12
2271-01/1212635_1
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for general working capital, acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition) and continued exploration expenditure (and ongoing project administration) on the Company’s current assets; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for general working capital, acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition) and continued exploration expenditure (and ongoing project administration) on the Company’s current assets. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e)
Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
13
2271-01/1212635_1
(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Instructions for completing Proxy Form
1.
( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
2.
( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3.
( Signing instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
-
( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
-
( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
-
( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
-
( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.
-
( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
-
(a) post to Resource Star Limited, PO Box 866, Subiaco, WA 6008;
