Your vote is important

Voting in person

To vote in person, attend the Annual General Meeting on the date and at the place set out above.

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, the proxy holder must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

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

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Venturex Resources Limited

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

  • 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.

Resolutions connected with remuneration of Key Management Personnel

If the Chairperson is to act as your proxy (whether by appointment or by default) and you have not given directions on how to vote in the voting directions section of the Proxy Form for Resolutions 1 and 8 – 10 (inclusive), the Proxy Form expressly directs and authorises the Chairperson to cast your votes “for” the relevant resolution. This express authorisation is included because, without it, the Chairperson would be precluded from casting your votes as these resolutions are connected with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

Subject to any voting prohibitions that may apply to the Chairperson in respect of Resolutions 1 and 8 – 10 to restrict the Chairperson from voting undirected proxies, the Chairperson intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 8 – 10 (inclusive).

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, 29 November 2019 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.

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 2019 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 .

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

1.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the Shareholders at a listed company’s annual general meeting. 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 2019.

The Chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

1.2 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.

1.3 Previous Voting Results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the previous remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 8.

7.2 Section 208 of Corporations Act

In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

Mr Saverimutto is a Director and therefore a related party of the Company. The issue of the Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Saverimutto, as the Performance Rights are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act. However, Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14.

14

Venturex Resources Limited

7.3 Listing Rule 10.14 and Listing Rule 7.1

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.14, the Company must not permit a Director and any of his or her Associates to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains shareholder approval.

Performance Rights are securities under Listing Rule 19.12 and Mr Ajanth Saverimutto is a Director. The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval by this Resolution 8 under Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Ajanth Saverimutto.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, a listed company may not issue or agree to issue equity securities in any 12 month period that exceed 15% of the number of securities the company has on issue, except with the prior approval of shareholders of the company in a general meeting of the terms and conditions of the proposed issue.

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of performance rights under a Listing Rule 10.14.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the effect of passing Resolution 8 will be to allow the Company to issue the Performance Rights to Mr Ajanth Saverimutto (and/or his nominees) without using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

7.4 Specific Information required by Listing Rule 10.15A

  • (e) Mr Ajanth Saverimutto, Mr Anthony Kiernan, Mr Anthony Reilly and Mr Darren Stralow are the only persons referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 who are eligible to participate in the Plan.

The actual number of Performance Rights proposed to be granted is 1,000,000 Performance Rights to each of Mr Reilly and Mr Kiernan.

Resolutions 9 and 10 are each ordinary resolutions.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 9 and 10.

8.2 Section 208 of Corporations Act

In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

16

Venturex Resources Limited

Mr Reilly and Mr Kiernan are Directors and therefore related parties of the Company. The issue of the Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Performance Rights to each of Mr Reilly and Mr Kiernan, as the Performance Rights are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act. However, Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14.

8.3 Listing Rule 10.14 and Listing Rule 7.1

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.14, the Company must not permit a Director and any of his or her Associates to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains shareholder approval.

Performance Rights are securities under Listing Rule 19.12 and each of Mr Reilly and Mr Kiernan are Directors. The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval by Resolutions 9 and 10 under Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of Performance Rights to each of Mr Reilly and Mr Kiernan.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, a listed company may not issue or agree to issue equity securities in any 12 month period that exceed 15% of the number of securities the company has on issue, except with the prior approval of shareholders of the company in a general meeting of the terms and conditions of the proposed issue.

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of performance rights under a Listing Rule 10.14.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the effect of passing Resolutions 9 and 10 will be to allow the Company to issue the Performance Rights to each of Mr Reilly and Mr Kiernan (and/or their nominees) without using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

8.4

  • (d) Since the Plan was approved by Shareholders on 30 November 2018, no Performance Rights have been issued under the Plan to any persons to whom ASX Listing Rule 10.14 applies.

  • (e) Mr Ajanth Saverimutto, Mr Anthony Kiernan, Mr Anthony Reilly and Mr Darren Stralow are the only persons referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 who are eligible to participate in the Plan.

  • (j) The Company will grant the Performance Rights as soon as practicable following this Annual General Meeting and in any event no later than 3 years after the date of the Annual General Meeting.

8.5 Director Recommendations

The Board (excluding Mr Anthony Reilly) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.

The Board (excluding Mr Anthony Kiernan) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.

9. RESOLUTION 11 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

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

9.1 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 11, 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 9.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 11 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 for 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 11 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 11 for it to be passed.

9.2 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 $44,778,024.

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:

18

Venturex Resources Limited

(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;

  • (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.

9.3 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 11:

(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 9.3(b) of this Explanatory Memorandum, 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 11 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

19

Venturex Resources Limited

the closing market price of Shares as at 22 October 2019 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 279,862,648 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 22 October 2019.

  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.

20

Venturex Resources Limited

  • (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 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 any 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 30 November 2018 ( Previous Approval ).

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2018, the Company issued a total of 41,253,408 Equity Securities, which represents approximately 17.2% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at 30 November 2018 (12 Months before this Meeting). Details of the Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the Meeting are set out in Annexure A .

21

Venturex Resources Limited

  • (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:

  • (i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued 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.

9.4 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. 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 11.
