Coppermoly Ltd
EXPLANATORY NOTES
Financial Report
The Act requires that the financial report be presented to the AGM. In addition, the Company’s Constitution provides for such reports and statements to be received and considered at the AGM.
Apart from the matter involving the Remuneration Report, which is required to be voted upon, neither the Act nor the Company’s Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders at the AGM on the financial report of the Company. Shareholders will be given ample opportunity to raise questions with respect to the financial report at the Meeting.
•
RESOLUTION 1: Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 16 to 19 in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report which is also available on the Company’s website at www.coppermoly.com.au.
The Chair of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. Any undirected proxies held by Directors, (except the Chair of the Meeting) or other Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties will not be voted on Resolution 1. If you choose to appoint a proxy you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form for that item of business.
The Remuneration Report identifies Coppermoly Key Management Personnel for the financial year ended 30 June 2017. Their Closely Related Parties are defined in the Act and include certain of their family members, dependents and companies they control.
The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.
Notes:
-
The salaries and fees paid to Directors are
-
modest and at or below industry levels.
• Each Director in office at 30 June 2017 had their directors’ fees accrued in the Company’s accounts but not paid since the latter of July 2014 or their date of appointment. This has been an initiative of the Directors to aid the Company’s cash flows.
• Resolutions 3-6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares in lieu of Directors’ fees accrued to 31 March 2017.
• The Company plans to pay directors’ fees accrued since 31 March 2017 in an orderly manner once it has sufficient funds.
• There have been no options issued to Directors since November 2010. All options previously issued to Directors have now expired.
The Act requires ASX-listed companies to put an annual, non-binding resolution to Shareholders to adopt the Remuneration Report. In line with the legislation this vote will be advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. If 25% or more votes that are cast on Resolution 1 are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at that second annual general meeting on an additional resolution on whether another meeting should be held at which all the Company’s Directors, other than the Managing Director, must stand for re-election. The corresponding vote at the 2016 AGM recorded less than 25% against the adoption of the 2016 Remuneration Report.
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. Key Management Personnel and their closely related parties are prohibited from voting on Resolution 1.
RESOLUTION 2: Re-election of Director – Dr Wanfu Huang
Article 16.1 of the Constitution requires one third, or at least one, of the Directors retire at the AGM (excluding the managing director and any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy who is yet to be ratified by a general meeting). Any Director retiring under article 16.1, if eligible, may seek re-election.
Dr Huang is retiring as Director of the Company at this AGM in accordance with Article 16.1 and, being eligible, seeks re-election.
Dr Huang was appointed as a Director on 11 March 2015. He is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and holds a PhD, a MSc and a BSc. Dr Huang has more than 20 years’ experience in the exploration industry. He has held numerous positions in the industry, covering base metals, gold, iron ore, coal and bauxite in Australia and internationally.
Dr Huang has not served as a Director of any other publicly listed companies during the last three years.

2017 AGM Notice of Meeting
Coppermoly Ltd
The Directors (other than Dr Huang) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolutions 3 - 6
The share issues proposed under Resolutions 3 to 6 (inclusive) are the result of agreements between each current Director and the Company to receive Shares in lieu of cash, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, for the accrued but unpaid Director’s fees to 31 March 2017 ( Directors’ fee Shares ).
The Shares are to be issued to Directors in lieu of their Directors’ fees and, as such, the Shares will be granted for nil consideration and no funds will be raised as a result. They are not ‘additional’ payments to Directors.
The Directors’ fee Shares will be issued as fully paid Shares and on the same terms as the Company’s existing Shares.
The Directors resolved on 10 April 2017 that, in order to preserve the Company’s funds, Directors’ fees accrued to 31 March 2017 would not be taken in cash but paid in Shares, subject to obtaining the prior approval of shareholders at an agreed issue price of the Directors’ fees Shares is $0.025 (2.5 cents), which was the ASX closing price of the Coppermoly shares on 31 March 2017 and a 8.7% premium to the ASX closing price of the Coppermoly shares on 10 April 2017.
The issue price of $0.025 is also significantly higher than the average market price of Coppermoly Shares over the period the Directors’ fees accrued.
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires that the Company obtain Shareholder approval prior to the issue, or any agreement to issue, Equity Securities to a Related Party of the Company.
As the Directors are Related Parties of the Company Resolutions 3 - 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares to each Director in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.
Additionally, the Corporations Act restricts the Company from giving certain “benefits” to certain persons, including Directors, in the absence of prior shareholder approval unless an exemption applies. In summary, the effect of Resolutions 3 - 6 will be that, if passed, the number and value of Shares (which is the net amount owed to each Director after accounting for any applicable PAYG withholding obligations) to be issued to each Director at $0.025 per Share, and issued for no additional consideration, will be:
| Proposed | ||
|---|---|---|
| Director | Shares | Value |
| Kevin Grice | 2,345,600 | $58,640.00 |
| Jincheng Yao | 3,318,356 | $82,958.90 |
| Wanfu Huang | 3,292,055 | $82,301.37 |
| Lin Zule | 1,554,338 | $38,858.45 |
If Resolutions 3 - 6 are not passed, no Shares will be issued to the current Directors as part of the agreements between the Directors and Coppermoly, and Coppermoly will be required to pay the above Share value amounts as cash to the current Directors within 10 business days of the date of this Meeting. Shareholders should be aware that, if approval is given to issue Shares to the current Directors under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1 and that the number of Shares issued to the current Directors will not be counted towards the Company’s 15% threshold.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in respect of the Directors’ fee Shares:
| Director | K. Grice (Resolution 3) |
J. Yao (Resolution 4) |
W. Huang (Resolution 5) |
Z. Lin (Resolution 6) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum number of securities proposed to be issued |
2,345,600 Shares |
3,318,356 Shares |
3,292,055 Shares |
1,554,338 Shares |
| Issue Price | The issue price of the Directors’ fees Shares proposed to be issued to the current Directors is $0.025 per Share |
|||
| Terms of the securities |
All the proposed Directors’ fees Shares to be issued to the current Directors will, from their date of issue, rank equally with all other Shares on issue. The Company will apply for these Shares to be quoted on the ASX. |

| Names of allottees | Mr Kevin Grice or his nominee |

RESOLUTION 7: Approval of Additional 10% Share Placement Capacity
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires a company to obtain Shareholder approval for an issue of securities in the company if that issue will, when aggregated with all other issues during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible entities may seek shareholder approval at their AGM to issue a further 10% of their issued share capital in addition to the 15% capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( 10% Share Placement Capacity ).
An eligible entity for the purpose of ASX 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. At the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity.
Any issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A:
(a) must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities;
(b) may be issued at a maximum of 25% discount to the current market price; and
(c) must be calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to have the ability to issue securities under the 10% Share Placement Capacity. The approval of Resolution 7 will provide the Company with even greater flexibility to issue securities in addition to the 15% capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without a further requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval for the 10% Share Placement Capacity:
(a) Minimum price
The minimum price at which securities may be issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity is 75% of the VWAP of securities in the same 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 of the securities to be issued is agreed; or
(ii) if they are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (a) (i), the date on which the securities are issued.
(b) Formula for calculating 10% Share Placement Capacity
ASX 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 AGM, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
(i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
(iii) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
(iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
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 that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
As required by the ASX Listing Rules, below is a hypothetical example of the potential dilution of Shareholders of the Company where the full 10% Share Placement Capacity is utilised, on the basis of three different assumed issue prices and numbers of equity securities on issue.

Note: the table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Issue Price of $0.015 is based on the closing price of shares on 11 October 2017;
-
The current issued share capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2;
-
The Company issues the maximum number of securities available under the 10% Share Placement Capacity;
-
No options are exercised prior to the date of issue of any shares under the 10% Share Placement Capacity;
-
The table shows the effect of issues of equity securities in the Company under the 10% Share Placement Capacity, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may occur to any particular Shareholder due to any placements under the 10% Share Placement Capacity.
(c) Potential risk of economic and voting dilution
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and securities are issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity, the interests of existing Shareholders who do not participate in the issue would be diluted.
Shareholders should note that in such circumstances, as with any time in the market, there is a risk that:
(i) the market price for equity securities issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
(ii) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.
(d) Timing of potential issues
If Shareholders approve Resolution 7, securities may be issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity during the period commencing on the date of the
Meeting and ending on the first to occur of the following:
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
(ii) the date of Shareholder approval for any transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
The approval under Listing Rules 7.1A will cease to be valid in the event that holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.
(e) Purpose of potential issue
Shares may be issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
(i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and other investments or significant expenditure contracts. If this occurs, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
(ii) cash consideration. If this occurs, the Company intends to use the funds raised to continue exploration and development of the Company’s

current exploration assets, cover general working capital requirements and/or, if appropriate, acquire new assets or investments.
The Company will comply with its disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon any issue of shares under the 10% Share Placement Capacity.
(f) Allocation policy under the 10% Share Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue under the 10% Share Placement Capacity.
Potential allottees of securities under the 10% Share Placement Capacity will be determined on a caseby-case basis, having regard to factors which may include:
(i) the methods of raising funds which are available to the Company, including the time and market exposure associated with the various methods of raising capital applicable at the time of the raising;
(ii) the effect of any such issue on the control of the Company;
(iii) the financial situation of the Company; and
(iv) advice from corporate, financial, legal and/or broking advisers.
As at the date of this Notice, no placement under the 10% Share Placement Capacity has been scheduled, and so no allottees have been determined. Any allottees of a 10% Share Placement Capacity placement may however include, as well as any existing Shareholders, substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company.
