In addition, under the terms of Dr Wanfu Huang’s employment contract as Managing Director which became effective on 1 May 2019, Dr Huang is, subject to shareholder approval, entitled to receive 14,285,715 Shares in the Company on the first anniversary of his appointment as the Company’s Managing Director.

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 number of Shares to be issued will be using the following formula:

A = B C

Where:

A= the number of Shares to be issued

B= accrued Directors fees as at 30 June 2020 ( or 1 May 2019 for Dr Huang)

C= 10-day VWAP of the Company’s Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of issue of the Shares

The table below sets out the maximum number of Shares that may be issued to each Director assuming different issue prices at the date of issue:

Table 2 Maximum number of Shares that may be issued to each Director assuming different issue prices at the date of issue

==> picture [489 x 204] intentionally omitted <==

The information presented for Dr Wanfu Huang in Table 2 represents accrued Non-Executive Director fees to 30 April 2019. On 1 May 2019 Dr Huang was appointed the Company’s Managing Director. Resolution 8 considers the issue of Shares to Dr Huang for the period 1 May 2019 to 31 May 2020.

Resolutions 3 to 7 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Shares constitutes the giving of a financial benefit and each of the Directors to whom the Shares are proposed to be issued, is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issues of the Shares the subject of Resolutions 3 to 7 inclusive, for the following reasons:

  • (a) the Shares are proposed to be issued to Directors in settlement of accrued and unpaid Director remuneration to 30 June 2020 ( except for Dr Huang for who the accrued and unpaid fees are calculated to 30 April 2019);

  • (b) the settlement of the accrued Director in remuneration through the issue of Shares will preserve the Company’s cash resources enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if the Director remuneration were to be settled in cash;

  • (c) each Director’s remuneration arrangements have been negotiated at arm’s length, and are not more favourable to the Director on than other commensurate agreements for persons in similar roles in entities similar to the Company; and

  • (d) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in settling the accrued Director remuneration on the terms proposed.

5.3

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the Director Placement involves the issue of Shares to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

5.4

Technical information

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Shares to Directors and / or their nominees pursuant to Resolutions 3 to 7 inclusive:

  • (a) The names of the Directors to whom the Shares are to be issued are Dr Wanfu Huang, Mr Kevin Grice, Mr Lin Zule, Mr Jincheng Yao and Mr Xuan Jian and /or their nominees;

Coppermoly Limited – Notice of Meeting

Page 15 of 26

  • (b) The maximum number of Shares to be issued in settled of the accrued Director remuneration will be determined by dividing the amount of remuneration to be paid in the form Shares by the 10-day VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the issue of the Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number). The maximum number of Shares to be issued under a range of assumed issue prices is set out in section 5.1 of this Explanatory Memorandum;

  • (c) The Shares will be issue for Nil consideration and no funds will be raised;

  • (d) the Shares will rank equally in all respects with existing the Company’s existing fully paid ordinary Shares; and

  • (e) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on one date.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required to issue the Shares to the Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to the Directors will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

5.5 Directors Recommendation

The Board (with Dr Huang abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote FOR Resolution 3. The Board (with Mr Grice abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote FOR Resolution 4. The Board (with Mr Zule abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote FOR Resolution 5. The Board (with Mr Yao abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote FOR Resolution 6. The Board (with Mr Jian abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote FOR Resolution 7. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 3 to 7.

Resolutions 8 – Issue of Shares to Director Dr Wanfu Huang

6.1 Background

On 1 May 2019, Dr Wanfu Huang who had previously served as a Non-Executive Director of the Company was appointed as the Company’s Managing Director. On 30 April 2019, the Company disclosed in an announcement lodged with the ASX the following terms of Dr Huang’s contract:

  • iii. Termination: 3 months’ notice by either party

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Shares constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to Dr Huang who is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (in the absence of Dr Huang) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issues of the Shares the subject of Resolutions8, for the following reasons:

  • (b) the Shares are a reasonable form of equity-based remuneration to Dr Huang given the circumstances of the Company and Dr Huang’s role within it;

  • (c) the Shares represent a cost-effective form of remuneration, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Dr Huang;

  • (d) Dr Huang’s remuneration arrangements have been negotiated at arm’s length, and are not more favourable to Dr Huang than other commensurate agreements for persons in similar roles in entities similar to the Company; and

  • (e) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in conducting the issue of the Shares on the terms proposed.

As issue involves the issue of Shares to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Special Business

Resolution 9 – Approval of additional 10% placement capacity

3.1 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 ) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of 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. 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 approximately $36 million as at 2 October 2020.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. Resolution 9 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 9 for it to be passed. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see below).

The Company obtained Shareholder approval for additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A at its Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2019.

3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Period

An approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be for a period commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.

(b) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an Annual General Meeting.

(c) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue 2 classes of Equity Securities, being Shares and Convertible Notes. Only the Company’s Shares are quoted securities.

(d)

Formula for calculating 10% Placement Capacity

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities that have obtained Shareholder approval at an AGM 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:

Coppermoly Limited – Notice of Meeting

Page 19 of 26

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • plus, the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus, the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • plus, the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of Shareholders 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

  • less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

  • 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.

(e) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 2,127,213,989 Shares. The Company therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 319,082,098 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 212,721,399 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 3.2.1 (c) below).

3.2.1

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 9:

(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 paragraph 4.2(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:

Coppermoly Limited – Notice of Meeting

Page 20 of 26

  • (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 9 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.

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.

Coppermoly Limited – Notice of Meeting

Page 21 of 26

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 2,127,213,989 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

  2. The current issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 2 October 2020, being $0.017.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The Company has not previously issued any securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Convertible Notes are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  6. 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.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  8. 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%.

  9. 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.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for exploration on the Company’s exploration projects located in Papua New Guinea and for general working capital purposes.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e)

Allocation 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:

Coppermoly Limited – Notice of Meeting

Page 22 of 26

  • (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.

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and disclosure required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6

The Company has previously obtained approval from Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2019.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6, the Company makes the following disclosure:

  • (i) In the 12 months preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting to be held on 19 November 2019, the Company has issued NIL equity securities representing NIL per cent of the Company’s issued equity securities on issue on 19 November 2019 pursuant to the previous approval obtained under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (ii) The Company issued NIL other equity securities during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting

  • (iii) The total Equity Securities issued by the Company during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting as a percentage of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company at 19 November 2019 was NIL.

(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:

  • (i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (ii) the information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

3.3 Voting Exclusion

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 98.

3.4 Directors Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 9.

All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that 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 he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 11:00am (Brisbane Time) on Tuesday 17 November 2020 . Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
