Further details on these changes are set out below.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote
Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :
-
the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
1
-
if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

-
an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

-
at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

EX P LANATORY STATEMEN T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 10.00am (WST) on 26 November 2012 at The George, 216 St Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report.
The Company is not required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy.
Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company’s annual financial report online at www.venturexresources.com .
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the Shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and Senior Management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2012.
The Chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2 Voting Consequences
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of Shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report and at the first of those Annual General Meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to the vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to the vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings.
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a Shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting.
All of the Directors who were in office when the Directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the previous financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
2.3 Previous Voting Results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
5
2.4 Proxy Voting Restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy
You must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member)
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel .
If you appoint any other person as your proxy
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF ANTHONY WILLIAM KIERNAN AS A DIRECTOR
Clause 22.1 of the Constitution requires that one third (or the number nearest one-third) of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been the longest in office since their last election or appointment, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall, in default of agreement between them, be determined by drawing lots.
A Director who retires by rotation under clause 22.1 of the Constitution is eligible for reelection.
The Company currently has 5 Directors and accordingly 1 must retire.
Mr Anthony William Kiernan, being the Director longest in office since his last re-election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
4. RESOLUTIONS 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
4.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to 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:
- (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
(b) has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis).
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 $59,140,568.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. 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 (refer to Section 4.2(c) below).
6
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Facility during the period of up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
4.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) 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.
(b) 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 one quoted class of Equity Securities on issue, being Shares (ASX Code: VXR).
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
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 annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(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 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 holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of Shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
-
less the number of 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 holders of Ordinary Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
4.3 10% Placement Facility Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires the earlier to occur of:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which approval is obtained; or
-
(b) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( 10% Placement Facility Period ).
7
4.4 Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility:
-
(a) The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is at an issue price of not less than 80% (as opposed to the 75% allowed under the Listing Rule 7.1A.3) of the VWAP for the 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 (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are exercised). There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
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:
- (i) two examples where Variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.
| (ii) | two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price. |
two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price. |

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) There are currently 1,375,362,048 Shares on issue as at 23 October 2012.
-
(ii) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(iii) No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;
-
(iv) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(v) 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%.
-
(vi) 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 Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(vii) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(viii) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(ix) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 23 October 2012.
(c) The Company may only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:
-
(i) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(ii) as cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
-
(e) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing
9
security holders can participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
-
(f) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(g) When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility, it will give to ASX:
-
(i) a list of the allottees of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
(ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
-
(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.
5. ENQUIRIES

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form
1.
( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
2.
( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3.
( Signing instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
-
( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
-
( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
-
( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
-
( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.
