10. General

To transact any business which may be brought before the meeting in accordance with the Constitution of the Company, the Act, or otherwise.

PROXIES

In accordance with section 249L of the Act, shareholders are advised each shareholder has a right to appoint a proxy, the proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company, and a shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

In accordance with section 250BA of the Act the Company specifies the following for the purposes of receipt of proxy appointments: By hand delivery to the Registered Office:

Level 15, 197 St Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia 6000

By Post to PO Box 7055, Cloisters Square, Perth, Western Australia 6850

By facsimile to: (08) 9282 5866

Each shareholder entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting has the right to appoint a proxy to vote on each particular Resolution. A shareholder may specify the way in which the appointed proxy is to vote on a particular Resolution or may allow the appointed proxy to vote at its discretion. The instrument appointing the proxy must be received by the Company as provided in its Constitution no later than 48 hours prior to the time of the commencement of the Annual General Meeting. This proxy form may be sent by facsimile transmission to the number identified on the proxy form. Where a shareholder appoints the Chairman as their proxy and does not expressly direct the Chairman to vote 'For' or 'Against' a resolution or to abstain from voting on a resolution, the Chairman intends to vote in favour of such resolution. Notwithstanding the Chairman's voting intention, a shareholder can (where they have appointed the Chairman as their proxy) expressly direct the Chairman to vote for or against such resolution, or to abstain from voting on such resolution, by marking the appropriate box on their proxy form. That is, a shareholder can direct the Chairman to vote as their proxy in a manner which is contrary to the Chairman's stated voting intentions. If a shareholder does not mark any of the 'For', 'Against' or 'Abstain' boxes on the proxy form for Resolution 1 (Adoption of Remuneration Report), that shareholder will thereby be taken to have directed the Chairman to vote in accordance with the Chairman's stated voting intention (that is, to vote in favour of such resolution).

A corporation may elect to appoint a representative in accordance with the Act in which case the Company will require written proof of the representative's appointment which must be lodged with, or presented to the Company before the meeting.

For the purposes of Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 the Company determines that shareholders holding ordinary shares at 5.00pm WST on 22 November 2017 will be entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.

Except where the contrary intention appears, all defined terms used in this Notice of Meeting have the meanings set out in the glossary of the Explanatory Statement accompanying this Notice.

By Order of the Board of Directors

A P Gates Company Secretary

Dated this 25[th] day of October 2017

CONICO LTD

(ACN 119 057 457)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR SHAREHOLDERS

This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide shareholders of the Company with sufficient information to assess the merits of each Resolution contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Company.

The Directors recommend that shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. The following information should be noted in respect of the various matters contained in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

1 – RECEIVE AND CONSIDER THE ANNUAL REPORTS

The first agenda item is to receive and consider the Annual Financial Report, Director’s Report and Auditor’s Report for the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2017. No Resolution is required in respect of this agenda item. However, it provides shareholders with the opportunity to ask questions of the Company’s Directors and auditors in relation to the Company’s results and operations for the financial year.

2 – REMUNERATION REPORT

The Annual Financial Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

In accordance with section 249L(2) of the Act, a resolution that a Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the vote. However, pursuant to section 250R(3) of the Act, the vote on the Resolution is advisory only and will not require the Directors or the Company to alter any arrangements detailed in the Remuneration Report, should the Resolution not be passed.

Where the Chairman is appointed as proxy for a shareholder to vote on this resolution and is not expressly directed by such shareholder to vote 'For' or 'Against' this resolution, or to 'Abstain' from voting on this resolution, the Chairman intends to vote in favour of this resolution.

3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, Mr Gregory Solomon retires by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for reelection as a Director of the Company.

Mr Gregory Solomon has been a Board member since March 2006. Mr G Solomon is a qualified lawyer with more than 30 years’ Australian and international experience in a wide range of areas including commercial negotiation and corporate law. Mr G Solomon has over 15 years’ experience as a director on a number of ASX listed companies.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

4 – RATIFICATION OF AMENDMENT TO, AND APPROVAL OF, EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION PLAN

In 2007, the Company’s ESOP was established to allow the Company’s employees to participate in the ownership of the Company and to provide employees with both short and long term incentives to achieve growth in shareholder wealth.

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits an entity from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities in any 12-month period which amount to more than 15% of its ordinary securities without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.

However, exemption 9(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply in relation to, among other things, an issue under an employee incentive scheme if within 3 years before the date of the issue the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities approved the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

The Listing Rules define “employee incentive scheme” to include a scheme for the issue or acquisition of equity securities in an entity to be held by, or for the benefit of, participating employees or non-executive directors of the entity or a related entity. Under the Listing Rules, equity securities include options over issued or unissued shares in an entity. The Company’s ESOP is therefore an employee incentive scheme for the purposes of the Listing Rules.

The Company’s shareholders approved the issue of securities under the Company’s ESOP at the Company’s AGM on 8 November 2016. Accordingly, the approval required to attract exemption 9(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 is still current.

Clause 9.1 of the Company’s ESOP provides that the Board may from time to time amend, vary or supplement the rules of the Company’s ESOP by resolution of the Board without the consent of any eligible employee under, or participant of, the Company’s ESOP.

In exercise of this power, by resolution made on 29 August 2017, the Board resolved to amend the Company’s ESOP by amending the definition of “Exercise Price” by deleting “(a) 20 cents; or” and inserting in lieu thereof, “125% of the weighted average market price of Shares sold on the ASX on the 5 trading days immediately before the date the board approves the issue of the Options to the Eligible Employee under the ESOP (the Date of Issue); or”.

The effect of this change is to reduce the minimum price at which the Board may in the future issue options under the ESOP (to the amount being 125% of the weighted average market price of Shares sold on the ASX on the 5 trading days immediately before the date the board approves the issue of the Options to the Eligible Employee under the ESOP).

In light of this change, the Board considers it appropriate to re-seek shareholder approval to the terms of the Company’s ESOP (as amended) for the purposes of exemption 9(b) of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, and for all other purposes. If shareholder approval is granted, Options issued under the ESOP during the next 3 years will be excluded in determining the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1. This would assist the Company by providing additional fundraising flexibility.

As at the date of the Notice, 6,000,000 Options have been issued under the ESOP since the date of the last approval (on 8 November 2016). 6,000,000 of these Options are the subject of Resolution 5 below.

The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b):

  1. A summary of the terms of the ESOP, as the same was amended by a resolution of the Board made on 29 August 2017, is set out in Schedule 1.

  2. The number of Options issued under the ESOP since the date of the last approval is 6,000,000.

  3. The Company will disregard any votes cast on this Resolution by a Director of the Company (except one who is ineligible to participate in the ESOP) or any of his or her associates. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  4. 3.1 it is cast by a Director (even if the Director is eligible to participate in the ESOP) as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

  5. 3.2 it is cast by the person chairing the Annual General Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

5 - RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF ESOP OPTIONS BY DIRECTORS

Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval and ratification, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 and for all other purposes, to the issue, on 29 August 2017, to 3 employees and key consultants of the Company, free of charge, of 6,000,000 options under the Company’s ESOP, each to acquire one Share at an exercise price of $0.0625 at any time on or before 28 August 2020 ( ESOP Options ).

All of these 6,000,000 ESOP Options were issued on the following terms and conditions:

  1. The options are subject to the rules of the Company’s ESOP, a summary of which is set out in Schedule 1.

No other equity performance or incentive package is planned for any of the employees or key consultants to whom these ESOP Options were issued during the next three year period of the Company’s development, unless there is a change in an individual employee’s function or level of responsibility.

No directors of the Company (or their related parties) received any of the ESOP Options.

All of these 6,000,000 ESOP Options were issued by the Company under the 15% placement rule in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. As these ESOP Options were issued under the ESOP after it was amended by Board resolution made on 29 August 2017, the Company chose not to rely on Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b).

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities in any 12 month period which amount to more than 15% of its ordinary securities without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and holders of ordinary securities subsequently approve it.

Equity securities issued with the approval of holders of a company’s ordinary securities in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 are not then required to be included in the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, if this Resolution 5 is passed, the Company’s 15% placement capacity will be reinstated to the extent of the equity securities the subject of this Resolution 5.

The Company’s total issued capital immediately prior to the issue of these 6,000,000 ESOP Options under the Company’s ESOP on 29 August 2017 was as follows:

Class Number
Shares 313,993,387
Unlisted 3 cent Options 40,375,000*
  • *On 5 October 2017, 2,000,000 of these Options were exercised and the Company’s issued share capital by increased by 2,000,000 Shares.

The issue of these 6,000,000 ESOP Options represented 1.91% of the Company’s then issued share capital (of 313,993,387 Shares), and represents 1.90% of the Company’s issued share capital as at the date of this Notice (of 315,993,387 Shares).

The Company seeks shareholder approval and ratification to the issue of the 6,000,000 ESOP Options under the Company’s ESOP pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.

The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5:

  1. 6,000,000 ESOP Options were issued by the Company to 3 employees and key consultants of the Company on 29 August 2017.

  2. All of the ESOP Options were issued free of charge; each ESOP Option is exercisable at an exercise price of $0.0625 at any time on or before 28 August 2020.

  3. The ESOP Options were issued under the Company’s ESOP, and are unlisted. Any Shares which are issued consequent upon the exercise of any of these options will rank pari passu with the existing issued Shares of the Company and will be quoted on the ASX.

  4. The ESOP Options were all issued to employees or key consultants of the Company under the Company’s ESOP. The recipients of the ESOP Options are not related parties of the Company.

  5. No funds were raised from the issue of the ESOP Options: they were issued to encourage the employees and key consultants of the Company to remain with the Company. Any funds which are raised from the exercise of these ESOP Options will be applied to the Company’s ongoing working capital requirements.

Voting exclusion statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on this Resolution 5 by the employees and key consultants who participated in the ESOP issue the subject of this Resolution 5 and any associates of any of these recipients. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

  • (a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

  • (b) it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

6 to 9 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO COMPANY DIRECTORS

Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8 seek shareholder approval for the purposes of Part 2E.1 of the Act and Chapter 10 of the Listing Rules, and for all other purposes, for the Company to issue Options to the current Directors of the Company.

The Directors of the Company have resolved that, subject to receiving approval of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8, each of the current Directors of the Company will be issued with 2,000,000 Options. The Directors of the Company as at the date of this Explanatory Statement are Gregory Solomon, Douglas Solomon, Guy Le Page and James Richardson.

The Options are being issued to the Directors in consideration of services which they have provided, and will subsequently provide, to the Company.

The terms and conditions upon which the Options will be issued ( Terms and Conditions ) are as follows:

  1. The Options are exercisable at any time prior to 5.00pm WST 20 November 2020 (the Time of Expiry ). Options not exercised on or before the Time of Expiry will automatically lapse.

  2. The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by completing a notice of exercise of options in a form approved by the Company (a Notice of Exercise ) and delivering it to the Company’s registered office at any time prior to the Time of Expiry.

  3. The Options entitle the holder to subscribe (in respect of each Option held) for one fully paid ordinary Share in the Company at an exercise price per Option of 125% of the 5 day weighted average share price immediately prior to the grant date.

  4. Upon the exercise of the Options and receipt of all relevant documents and payment, Shares will be issued ranking equally with the then issued Shares, and the Company will apply to ASX to have the Shares so issued granted official quotation.

  5. Any Notice of Exercise received by the Company prior to the Time of Expiry will be deemed to be a Notice of Exercise as at the last business day (a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banks are open for business in Perth, Western Australia) of the month in which it is received.

  6. There are no participating entitlements inherent in the Options to participate in new issues of capital, which may be offered to shareholders of the Company during the currency of the Options. Prior to any new pro rata issue of securities to shareholders of the Company, holders of Options will be notified by the Company and afforded 10 business days before the Record Date (as defined in the Listing Rules to determine entitlements to the issue), to exercise their Options.

  7. In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Time of Expiry, the number of Options or the exercise price of the Options (or both) shall be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on the holders of the Options which are not being conferred on shareholders of the Company and (subject to the provisions with respect to rounding entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of Company shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital) in all respects, the terms for the exercise of the Options shall remain unchanged. For these purposes, the rights of the holders of the Options may be changed from time to time to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital, at the time of reorganisation.

  8. The Options may be transferred at any time prior to the Time of Expiry.

Totals 315,993,387 52,375,000 368,368,387

Subject to the significant qualifications detailed below the Directors have estimated, using the valuation methodology summarised below, that the accounting value of each of the Options to be issued to the Directors is $0.0231 per Option. Therefore the total accounting value of each Director’s 2,000,000 Options would be $46,200 (estimated).

The Options have been indicatively valued using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model (the Model ), which takes account of factors including option exercise price, the current underlying share price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends on the

underlying share, current market price of the underlying share and the expected option life. The Model attributes an indicative value of $0.0231 per Option on the following assumptions:

  • (a) the Options are exercisable at a price per Option of $0.04625 (being 125% of the Company’s share price on 6 October 2017);

  • (b) underlying Share price volatility of 108%;

  • (c) a risk-free interest rate of 1.8% per annum (based on the 2-year bond rate as at 6 October 2017);

  • (d) the underlying value of each Share being $0.037 (based on the value of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 6 October 2017); and

  • (e) no dividends being payable.

The estimated value of each Option is subject to considerable uncertainty because many of the parameters of the Model are difficult to estimate. For example, the share price may after 6 October 2017 go above, or below, $0.037 per Share.

Other parameters, such as the risk-free interest rate, are more certain.

The Act

Part 2E.1 of the Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” by public companies. The Company is a public company.

Section 208(1) of the Act provides that the Company can only give a financial benefit to a “related party” of the Company if the Company obtains the approval of its shareholders in accordance with the procedures set out in Part 2E.1 of the Act.

Directors of public companies are related parties for the purposes of the Act. Gregory Solomon, Douglas Solomon, Guy Le Page and James Richardson are Directors, and therefore related parties, of the Company.

The Act deems the issue of an option by a public company to a related party to constitute the giving of a financial benefit to that related party.

In the circumstances, the issue of these Options will result in the Company giving a financial benefit to Gregory Solomon, Douglas Solomon, Guy Le Page and James Richardson, who are related parties of the Company.

The Options are being issued to the Directors in consideration of services which they have provided, and will subsequently provide, to the Company. Section 211 of the Act provides an exception to the need to obtain shareholder approval to the giving of a financial benefit to a related party where the financial benefit is remuneration given to an officer (including a director) of a public company and giving the remuneration would be reasonable given the respective circumstances of the public company and the related party (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).

The Directors consider that the issue of the Options to the Directors is reasonable given the circumstances of the Company and the Directors. However to avoid doubt the Company is seeking shareholder approval for the purposes of Part 2E.1 of the Act. If the approval of the shareholders of the Company is not obtained, the Options will not be issued to the Directors.

As required by Part 2E.1 of the Act, and in particular section 219 of the Act, the following information contained in paragraphs A, B and C below is provided to allow the shareholders of the Company sufficient information to determine whether or not they should approve these Resolutions.

A. Resolution 5

  2. The nature of the financial benefit is the issue of 2,000,000 Options in the Company on the Terms and Conditions set out above.

  3. Gregory Solomon (the person to whom the financial benefit will be given) does not wish to make a recommendation to shareholders about this Resolution on the basis that he has an interest in the Resolution’s passage. None of the other directors of the Company wish to make a recommendation to shareholders about this Resolution on the basis that they each have an interest in the passage of a similar resolution.

  4. Gregory Solomon, as a Director and the person to whom the financial benefit will be payable, has an interest in this Resolution. None of the other Directors of the Company have an interest in the outcome of this Resolution 5 but each of them has an interest in the passage of a similar resolution (see resolutions 6, 7 and 8).

  5. The Directors are not aware of any other information (other than the information contained in this Explanatory Statement) that would be reasonably required by shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interest of the Company to pass Resolution 5.

In accordance with section 224 of the Act the Company will disregard any vote cast on this Resolution 5 by any of the following persons (regardless of the capacity in which they vote):

The Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless an entity has the approval of the holders of “ordinary securities”, that entity must not issue or agree to issue “equity securities” to a “related party”, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party of the entity is, in the opinion of the ASX, such that approval should be obtained.

The Listing Rules define equity security to include an option over an issued or unissued share in an entity. The Options will therefore be equity securities for the purposes of the Rules.

Under the Listing Rules, the term related party (in relation to a body corporate) has the same meaning as that set out in section 228 of the Act. Section 228(2) of the Act provides that the directors of a public company are related parties of that public company. Gregory Solomon, Douglas Solomon, Guy Le Page and James Richardson are Directors, and therefore related parties, of the Company.

The Company is therefore also seeking shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 to the issue of the Options to the Directors. If the approval of the shareholders of the Company is not obtained, the Options will not be issued to the Directors.

The following information is provided to shareholders of the Company pursuant to Listing Rule 10.13:

  1. The Directors propose to issue 2,000,000 Options to each of Gregory Solomon, Douglas Solomon, Guy Le Page and James Richardson (who are Directors of the Company).

  2. The maximum number of Options that will be issued is 8,000,000.

  3. The Company will issue the Options not more than one month after the date of the Annual General Meeting.

  4. The Company will disregard any votes on Resolution 5 by Gregory Solomon or any of his associates. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  5. 4.1 it is cast by Gregory Solomon or any of his associates as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

  6. 4.2 it is cast by the person chairing the Annual General Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form.

  7. The Company will disregard any votes on Resolution 6 by Douglas Solomon or any of his associates. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  9. 5.2 it is cast by the person chairing the Annual General Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form.

  10. The Company will disregard any votes on Resolution 7 by Guy Le Page or any of his associates. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  11. 6.1 it is cast by Guy Le Page or any of his associates as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

  12. 6.2 it is cast by the person chairing the Annual General Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form.

  13. The Company will disregard any votes on Resolution 8 by James Richardson or any of his associates. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  14. 7.1 it is cast by James Richardson or any of his associates as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

  15. 7.2 it is cast by the person chairing the Annual General Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form.

  16. The Options will be issued on the Terms and Conditions described above in this Explanatory Statement. The Options are being issued to the Directors in consideration of services which they have provided, and will subsequently provide, to the Company.

  17. No funds will be raised by the Company by the issue of the Options to the Directors. Any funds which are raised from the exercise by the Directors of these Options will be applied to the Company’s ongoing working capital requirements.
