EXPLAN ATORY 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 in this Notice for a General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held at BDO Perth, 38 Station Street Subiaco WA 6008 on Wednesday 12 June 2019, commencing at 10.00 am (WST).
The Chair intends to direct all undirected Proxies in favour of the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL OF SALE OF INTEREST IN EXPLORATION PERMIT 127
1.1 General
As announced on 28 March 2019, the Company has entered into an agreement ( Sale Agreement ) to dispose of its interest in Exploration Permit 127, Georgina Basin, Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia, known as the Southern Georgina Project ( EP 127 ).
Listing Rule 11.2 provides that where a company proposes to make a significant change in the nature or scale of its activities which involves the disposal of its main undertaking, it must first obtain the prior approval of its shareholders.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the potential disposal of the Company’s main undertaking, EP 127. Even if Shareholder approval is obtained, there is no certainty that EP 127 will be disposed of, as the Sale Agreement is subject to other conditions precedent.
The information required by ASX Guidance Note 12 “Significant Changes to Activities” to be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1, is contained within this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of General Meeting.
Shareholders should be aware that following the proposed disposal of the Company’s main undertaking, ASX may require the Company to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 11.1.2 and/or recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules pursuant to Listing Rule 11.1.3 with respect to any future transaction the Company may enter into.
A disposal by a listed entity of its main undertaking can also raise issues under Listing Rule 12.1 and 12.2, which oblige a listed entity to satisfy ASX on an ongoing basis that the level of its operations is sufficient, and its financial condition adequate, to warrant its continued quotation of its securities.
1.2 Background on the Tenement
EP 127 is currently wholly owned by the Company. The Company first acquired an interest in EP 127 by way of a 75% farm-in interest pursuant to an agreement of May 2009.
EP 127 has been sitting idle due to the Northern Territory Government’s Fracking Moratorium announced by the Northern Territory Government on 14 September 2016 ( Fracking Moratorium ). Upon introduction of the Fracking Moratorium, the Company obtained a 2 year suspension of expenditure in relation to EP 127.
The Northern Territory Government lifted the Fracking Moratorium on 17 April 2018. For more information regarding the Fracking Moratorium please refer to the Northern Territory Government’s websites https://hydraulicfracturing.nt.gov.au/ and https://frackinginquiry.nt.gov.au/.
5
Global Vanadium Limited – Notice of Meeting
After the lifting of the Fracking Moratorium, the Company undertook a strategic review of EP 127 in which it was concluded that EP 127 was in good standing and represents an under-explored asset with potential to add significant value to the Company.
As previously announced, the lifting of the Fracking Moratorium created significant interest in EP 127. Accordingly, the Company engaged an unrelated corporate firm, Westmarket Capital PLC, for an exclusive four (4) month period to pursue a potential joint venture or other divestment opportunity, for which the Company received an exclusivity fee of $20,000.
Subsequently, the Company was advised that the Northern Territory Government had approved the Company’s work commitments and that all maintenance and annual fees had been paid up to 31 December 2019.
Accordingly, the rationale for a disposal of EP 127 is that such disposal will:
-
(A) reduce potential care and maintenance costs associated with EP 127;
-
(B) reduce regulatory and compliance costs associated with EP 127;
-
(C) eliminate potential capital expenditure associated with EP 127;
-
(D) be of benefit to the Shareholders given that EP 127 has been idle;
-
(E) provide the Company with additional working capital; and
-
(I) is timely given the current economic and regulatory climate and that there is no certainty that EP 127 will be successful or that the Company could raise the capital required to fund the expenditure required for EP 127 to be successful.
1.3 Background of the Sale of the Tenement
On 28 March 2019 the Company entered into an agreement with Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty Ltd ( Buyer ), who is not a related party or associate of the Company, to sell 100% of the Company’s interest in EP 127 to the Buyer.
The Buyer arranged for the incorporation of Georgina Energy PLC (Company Number 11954589) ( GE PLC ), a company incorporated in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2019 with all initial shareholdings held by Westmarket Corporation Pty Ltd (for purpose of facilitating a listing of EP 127 on the London Stock Exchange ( LSE )) ( IPO ). The Sale Agreement was varied on or about 18 April 2019 so that GE PLC can:
-
(A) acquire all shares of the Buyer (become a parent company of the Buyer);
-
(B) undertake the IPO; and
-
(C) assume the Buyer’s obligations under the Sale Agreement.
1.4 Material Terms and Conditions of the Tenement Sale Agreement

1.5 Listing Rule 11.2

Global Vanadium Limited – Notice of Meeting
In accordance with Listing Rule 11.12, the Company provides full disclosure and details of the proposed disposal and the impacts of the disposal (whether approved or not approved) and seeks Shareholder approval of the disposal of the Company’s interest in EP 127.
The disposal of EP 127 requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 11.2 and may not proceed if such approval is not obtained.
1.6 Effect of Disposal of Interest in the Tenement
The pro-forma statement of the financial position of the Company showing the financial effect of the disposal of in EP 127 on the Company is annexed as Schedule 1.

(A) not impact the capital structure of the Company;
-
(B) not have a dilution effect on the Shareholders; and
-
(C) not result in any changes to the Board or Company name.
1.7 Intention following Disposal of the Interest in the Tenement
ASX has determined that EP 127 is currently the Company’s main undertaking. Accordingly, the Company has temporarily ended its negotiations with parties regarding 2 project opportunities (an African based vanadium magnetite project and a high grade vanadate project), as previously announced, given that ASX’s current determination is that the acquisition of the project opportunities would trigger full re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules in their current form. The Company is continuing to liaise with ASX as to what appropriate deal transactions can be structured moving forward.
The Company continues to review project opportunities with a view to maximise Shareholder value.
1.8 Advantages of the Disposal of the Interest in the Tenement
The Directors believe that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on Resolution 1:
-
(A) the disposal allows the Company to reduce costs (both direct Tenement costs and corporate overheads) and provides otherwise unavailable capital to enable the Company to consider alternative asset acquisitions consistent with the Company’s goals and objectives that the Directors believe will add value to Shareholders;
-
(B) the consideration from the disposal will provide capital to the Company which will be used to source new exploration opportunities including conducting due diligence and funding any re-compliance costs;
-
(C) the consideration from the disposal will provide capital to the Company which will be used to supplement activities in relation to the Company’s remaining assets and further aquisitions;
-
(D) the disposal will provide capital to the Company with no dilutionary impact on Shareholders, in a current market environment where it is difficult to secure capital; and
-
(E) the Company will receive the 5 year Royalty from Petroleum production from EP 127, and will not be required to make any capital contribution to its development.
8
Global Vanadium Limited – Notice of Meeting
1.9 Disadvantages of the Disposal of the Interest in the Tenement
The Directors believe that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on Resolution 1:
-
(A) the Company will not be able to participate in or derive any future potential benefit from the development of EP 127, other than via the Royalty;
-
(B) the disposal involves the Company selling a major asset (as further discussed in section 2 below), which may not be consistent with the investment objectives of all Shareholders; and
-
(C) subject to the Company’s further consultation in respect of any further asset acquisitions, there may be significant re-compliance costs associated with the acquisition of new assets if ASX determined that such acquisitions require full recompliance with Chapter 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

Global Vanadium Limited – Notice of Meeting
2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF SALE OF INTEREST IN EXPLORATION PERMIT 127
2.1 General
As detailed in section 1 above, the Company has entered into the Sale Agreement to sell EP 127 to the Buyer. The Buyer’s intended parent company GE PLC (detailed in section 1.3) has taken over the obligations of the Buyer under the Sale Agreement and intends to become listed on the London Stock Exchange.
The Buyer has advised the Company that its intention is for GE PLC to be listed on the LSE by 28 November 2019.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the potential disposal of the main asset, EP 127. Even if Shareholder approval is obtained, there is no certainty that EP 127 will be disposed of, as the Sale Agreement is subject to other conditions precedent which are set out in section 1.4(D).
The information required by ASX (Guidance Note 13 “Disposal of Major Asset” and ASX Public Consultation dated 28 November 2018) to be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2, is contained within this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of General Meeting.
If Resolution 2 is approved, then the Sale Agreement can proceed as intended. In the event that Resolution 2 is not approved by Shareholders, the disposal of EP 127 under the Sale Agreement may not proceed.
2.2 Listing Rule 11.4
Listing Rule 11.4 provides that, subject to Listing Rule 11.4.1 under the Public Consultation), a listed entity must not dispose of a major asset if, at the time of the disposal, it is aware that the buyer intends to issue or offer securities with a view to becoming listed (such as the IPO on the LSE).Listing Rule 11.4.1 provides that Listing Rule 11.4 does not apply where:
-
(A) the securities to be issued or offered by the Buyer are offered pro rata to the Company’s Shareholders, or in another way that, in ASX’s opinion, is fair in all the circumstances; or
-
(B) the Company’s Shareholders approve of the disposal without the offer referred to in Listing Rule 11.4.1(a) being made, and the notice of meeting includes a voting exclusion statement.
As set out below in section 2.3, EP 127 is a major asset of the Company. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 11.4.1(b) to enable the Company to dispose of EP 127 to the Buyer, where the Buyer’s intended parent company GE PLC intends to conduct an IPO to seek listing on the LSE, without the Company making an offer of shares to Shareholders which satisfies Listing Rule 11.4.1(a).
The Company considers that the disposal, proceeding on the basis of Shareholder’s Listing Rule 11.4.1(b) approval, without the offer, issue or transfer referred to in Listing Rule 11.4.1(a) is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders because of the advantages listed in section 1.8 and the terms of the Sale Agreement.
11
Global Vanadium Limited – Notice of Meeting
2.3 Major Asset and Consideration for Asset
Pursuant to Guidance Note 13 and in consultation with ASX regarding the ASX Public Consultation dated 28 November 2018, ASX will regard an asset to be a major asset if its disposal will result in a decrease of 25% or more in any of the following measures:
-
(A) consolidated total assets;
-
(B) consolidated total equity interests;
-
(C) consolidated annual revenue, or in the case of a mining exploration entity, oil and gas exploration entity or other entity that is no earning material revenue from operations, consolidated annual expenditure;
-
(D) consolidated EBITDA; or
-
(E) consolidated annual profit before tax,
or if the value of the consideration received by the listing entity and its security holders for disposing of the asset exceeds 25%of its consolidated total assets.
The Company will receive $500,000 in cash (including the $35,000 deposit which was paid on or about 28 March 2019) and will receive $1,000,000 worth of shares in GE PLC upon its listing on the LSE.
Accordingly, the value of the consideration to be received by the Company for the asset (EP 127), being $1,500,000, represents 32% of the consolidated total assets specified in the Company’s Half Year Report (as announced on 15 March 2019) and EP 127 is considered a major asset.
2.4 Value of Asset
The value of the asset, EP 127, as shown in the Company’s Half Year Report) was $3,541,776. EP 127’s contribution to the entity’s previous expenditure is identifiable as a cash spend on the Company’s Northern Territory asset as $152,141 for the financial year ended in 2017 and $57,581 for the financial year ended 2018.As EP 127 is an exploration asset, the Company has not earned any revenue from EP 127.

|---|---|
| Jocaph Pty Ltd | 20 ordinary shares held |

Your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY

Power of Attorney:
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not vote on a poll in accordance with your directions or does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote the proxies as directed.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item 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 item 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 item, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are able. If you mark more than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (or if he is appointed by default) but do not direct him how to vote on an item (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that item), you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to vote as he sees fit on that item.
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
- (b) Return both forms together.
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.

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.
