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: Advanced Share Registry Limited, 110 Stirling Hwy, Nedlands WA 6009 By Post to Advanced Share Registry Limited, PO Box 1156, Nedlands WA 6909
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.
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 expressly authorised and directed the Chairman to exercise the proxy in respect of Resolution 1 in accordance with the Chairman's stated voting intention (that is, to vote in favour of such resolution) even though that resolution is connected to the remuneration of members of the Company’s key management personnel.
The Chairman will call a poll for all resolutions.
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 General Meeting. This proxy form may be sent by facsimile transmission to the number identified on the proxy form.
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 23 November 2021 will be entitled to attend and vote at the 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 20[th] day of October 2021
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 2021. 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 2021 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.
Voting exclusion statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast (in any capacity) on this Resolution 1 by or on behalf of the members of the Company’s key management personnel, details of whose remuneration is included in the Remuneration Report and their closely related parties. However, the Company need not disregard a vote cast by any such person (the voter) if the vote is not cast on behalf of any of these persons and either:
-
(a) the voter is appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; or
-
(b) the voter is the chair of the meeting and the appointment of the chair as proxy:
-
(i) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and
-
(ii) expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel for the Company or, if the Company is part of a consolidated entity, for the entity.
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 Guy Le Page retires by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director of the Company.
Mr Le Page has been a Board member since March 2006. Mr Le Page is currently a corporate adviser at RM Capital Pty Ltd specialising in resources. He is actively involved in a range of corporate initiatives from mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings to valuations, consulting and corporate advisory roles. Mr Le Page was Head of Research at Morgan Stockbroking Limited (Perth) prior to joining Tolhurst Noall as a Corporate Adviser in July of 1998. As Head of Research, Mr Le Page was responsible for the supervision of all Industrial and Resources research. As a Resources Analyst, Mr Le Page published detailed research on various mineral exploration and mining companies listed on the ASX. The majority of this research involved valuations of both exploration and production assets.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
4 – RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS – SEPTEMBER 2021 PLACEMENT
Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval and ratification, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 and for all other purposes, of the issue to a number of sophisticated and/or professional investors (being persons to whom a disclosure document was not required to be provided by virtue of s.708(8) to s.708(11) of the Act) (“Investors”) of 67,000,000 Shares at a price of $0.06 per Share, with 33,500,000 free attaching options exercisable at $0.10 and expiring 30 November 2024 (“New Options”), raising $4,020,000 (before the expenses of the issue).
All of the 67,000,000 Shares rank pari passu with all other Shares currently on issue in the Company. The terms and conditions of the New Options are summarised in Schedule 1.
This issue was made without disclosure to the Investors in accordance with section 708 of the Act.
A placement fee of 6% of the value of the funds raised under this placement was paid to RM Corporate Finance Pty Ltd.
The issue of the 67,000,000 Shares, at a price of $0.06 per Share, and 33,500,000 New Options, free of charge, took place on 22 September 2021 (“Placement Date”) (“September 2021 Placement”). 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 September 2021 Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it uses up some of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Placement Date by 100,500,000 securities.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule. The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval to the September 2021 Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If resolution 3 is passed, the September 2021 Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement Date.
If resolution 3 is not passed, the September 2021 Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period by 100,500,000 securities.
| 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the period by 100,500,000 securities. |
7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the period by 100,500,000 securities. |
|---|---|
| The Company’s total issued capital immediately priorto the September 2021 Placementwas asfollows: | |
| Class | Number |
| Shares | 933,214,874 |
| period by 100,500,000 securities. | period by 100,500,000 securities. |
|---|---|
| The Company’s total issued capital immediately priorto the September 2021 Placementwas asfollows: | |
| Class | Number |
| Shares | 933,214,874 |
| ESOPOptions | 11,000,000 |
| Otherunlisted Options | 71,296,307 |
The issue of 67,000,000 Shares and 33,500,000 New Options (being 100,500,000 equity securities in total) to the Investors represented 10.77 % of the Company’s then issued share capital (of 933,214,874 Shares), and represents 10.05% of the Company’s issued share capital as at the date of this notice (of 1,000,214,874 Shares).
The Company therefore seeks shareholder approval and ratification to the issue of the 67,000,000 Shares and 33,500,000 New Options to the Investors pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.
The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5:
-
The Shares and New Options were issued by the Company to 77 sophisticated and/or professional investors. None of these investors are a related party of the Company, a member of the Company’s key management personnel, a substantial holder of the Company, an adviser to the Company or an associate of any of those persons. The largest percentage interest in the Company’s issued share capital which any of these Investors held (based on the Company’s issued share capital as at the date of this notice, of 1,000,214,874 Shares) is 3.33%.
-
The Company issued a total of 67,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares and 33,500,000 New Options to the Investors.
-
The Shares were issued on the same terms as, and rank pari passu with, the existing issued Shares of the Company and are quoted on the ASX. The New Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1, and are unlisted. Any Shares which are issued consequent upon the exercise of any of these New Options will rank pari passu with the existing issued Shares of the Company and will be quoted on the ASX.
-
The Shares and New Options were all issued on 22 September 2021.
-
The Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.06 per Share, raising $4,020,000, less the expenses of the issue. All of the New Options were issued free of charge, with each New Option being exercisable at an exercise price of 10 cents expiring 30 November 2024.
-
$4,020,000 (less the expenses of the issue) was raised from the issue of the Shares, which will be applied towards general working capital and exploration on the Company’s (and its subsidiaries’) mining tenements. No funds were raised from the issue of the New Options: any funds which are raised from the exercise of these New Options will also be applied to the Company’s general working capital and exploration on the Company’s (and its subsidiaries’) mining tenements.
Voting exclusion statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast on this Resolution by or on behalf of any sophisticated and/or professional investors who participated in the Share and New Option issue the subject of this Resolution, or any associates of those persons. However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of the resolution by:
-
a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with the directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or
-
the chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with the direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or

-
the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and
