Voting by proxy

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by the time and in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form.

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, members are advised that:

  • each member has a right to appoint a proxy;

  • the proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • a member who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Annual General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

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

1

Venturex Resources Limited

  • 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

  • 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).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • 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

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

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

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

EXPLANATORY 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 10:00 am (WST) on Friday, 30 November 2018 at BDO, 38 Station Street Subiaco, 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 2018 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders 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 2018.

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

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 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.

  • 3 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.

  • 4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF ANTHONT REILLY AS A DIRECTOR

3.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled not to be subject to re-election.

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution provides that:

  • (a) at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election;

  • (b) the Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots;

  • (c) a Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election; and

  • (d) in determining the number of Directors to retire, no account is to be taken of:

  • (i) a Director who only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to clause 13.4 of the Constitution; and/ or

  • (ii) a Managing Director,

each of whom are exempt from retirement by rotation. However, if more than one Managing Director has been appointed by the Directors, only one of them (nominated by the Directors) is entitled to be excluded from any determination of the number of Directors to retire and/or retirement by rotation.

The Company currently has 3 Directors (excluding the Managing Director) and accordingly 1 must retire.

7

Venturex Resources Limited

Mr Reilly, being the Director longest in office since his last re-election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Background and experience

Mr Reilly was first appointed as a Director in July 2015. Mr Reilly is a significant shareholder of the Company and has previously been a director of the Company. He has over 20 year’s investment banking experience including financial markets, financial risk management and corporate finance. He worked in investment banking in London for over 10 years, and his clients have included a number of global corporations and fund managers based in Australia, the UK and Europe. Since leaving banking he has had 8 years working in the junior resources sector. Anthony was a founding Director of a private Brazil incorporated gold exploration company and he has also served as an Executive Director of several other ASX listed resources.

3.3 Independence

The Board has considered Mr Reilly’s independence and considers that he is an independent Director.

3.4 Recommendation

The Directors support the re-election of Mr Reilly and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – ADOPTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PLAN

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholders approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Venturex Resources Limited – Performance Rights Plan” ( Plan ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Performance Rights under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

5,303,211 Performance Rights have been issued under the Plan since the date of the last Shareholder approval of the Plan (27 November 2015). 964,336 Shares have been issued on the conversion of Performance Rights issued under the Plan during this period.

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Performance Rights under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Any future issues of Shares under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relation with the company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 1. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plan

8

Venturex Resources Limited

can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (Trevor Hart). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

The Directors confirm that at the date of this notice there is no proposal to issue the Equity Securities.

5.1 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 ).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 5.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 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 4 for it to be passed.

5.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

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 $50,643,186.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: VXR).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to 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 to issue:

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

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

9

Venturex Resources Limited

  • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with the approval of holders 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

  • (iv) 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.

5.3 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 4:

(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 section 5.3(a), 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:

  • (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),

(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 4 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 closing market price of Shares as at 15 October 2018 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.

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 pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 239,896,622 Shares on issue comprising the existing Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 15 October 2018.

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

  4. 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.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options 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 for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including

11

Venturex Resources Limited

expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets, including the infill drilling program and Permitting approvals for the pre-development activities for the Sulphur Springs Copper-Zinc Project and ongoing project administration, general working capital etc; or

  • (ii) 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.

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

(e)

Allocation policy 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 and as at the date of this Notice there are no proposals for the Company to issue Equity Securities. 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:

  • (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

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 28 November 2017 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2017, the Company otherwise issued a total of 95,000,000 Performance Rights which represents approximately 2.48% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 30 November 2018, which was 3,834,587,560.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 2.

(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 must give to ASX:

12

Notes:

  1. Market Price means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.

  2. The Performance Rights were issued prior to the implementation of a capital reorganisation as announced by the Company on 13 August 2018. The reorganisation involved consolidating the Company’s Equity Securities so that every 15 (pre-consolidation) Equity Securities would be consolidated into 1 (post-consolidation) Equity Security.

  3. Performance conditions were measured at 9 August 2019 with 50% vesting when employees have been in the service of the Company for 12 months after the issue date and the remaining 50% vesting when the employees have been in the service of the Company for 18 months after the issue date.

  4. 10,000,000 (pre-consolidation) Performance Rights were issued to Mr Anthony Reilly as Executive Director Performance Rights on the terms set out in Schedule 1 of the notice of general meeting announced on 16 July 2018 and to be held on 15 August 2018.

  5. 65,000,000 (pre-consolidation) Performance Rights were issued to Mr Ajanth Saverimutto as Managing Director Performance Rights on the terms set out in Schedule 2 of the notice of general meeting announced on 16 July 2018 and to be held on 15 August 2018.

  6. In respect of quoted Equity Securities the value is based on the closing price of the Shares ($0.18) as the context requires on the ASX on 15 October 2018. The calculation of value is based upon the number of Performance Rights issued post consolidation.
