EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of Uranium Equities Limited (ACN 009 799 553) ( Uranium Equities or the Company ) in connection with the business to be transacted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on 24 November 2015.
At the Annual General Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider the following Resolutions:
-
(a) the adoption of the Remuneration Report;
-
(b) the re-election of Mr Goyder as a Director;
-
(c) the issue of Shares to Mr Goyder, Mr Jones and Mr Hacker in lieu of the Company paying accrued consultant and/or Directors' fees;
-
(d) the approval pursuant to section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in relation to the issue of Shares to Mr Goyder, Mr Jones and Mr Hacker in lieu of the Company paying accrued Directors’ fees.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information that the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass these Resolutions. It explains the Resolutions and identifies the Board’s reasons for putting them to Shareholders. The Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting.
Terms and abbreviations used in the Notice of Meeting and the Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Schedule 1.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
The Corporations Act at section 317 requires the Company to lay before the Annual General Meeting the Financial Report, Directors’ Report (including the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor’s Report for the last financial year that ended before the Annual General Meeting.
No resolution is required for this item, but Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make comments in relation to these reports. The Company’s auditor will also be present at the Meeting and Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor.
RESOLUTION 1 – REMUNERATION REPORT
A resolution for adoption of the Remuneration Report is required to be considered and voted on in accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act. The Remuneration Report details the Company’s policy on the remuneration of the Company's Key Management Personnel, being its non-executive Directors, executive Directors and senior executives and is set out in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.
Part 2G.2, Division 9 of the Corporations Act provides Shareholders with the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the Managing Director if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings.
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than a Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2014 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2016 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and to make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Proxy voting restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
- (a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chairman) 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.
- (b) If you appoint the Chairman 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. If you do not direct the Chairman how to vote, you will be taken to expressly authorise the Chairman 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.
- (c) 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.
Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF TIM GOYER AS A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY
Rule 75.1 of the Company's Constitution provides that at each Annual General Meeting one-third of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not exceeding one-third, must retire from office. The Directors to retire are those that have been in office the longest since their last election, in this instance being Mr Tim Goyder.
Mr Goyder has over 30 years’ experience in the resource industry. He has been involved in the formation and management of a number of publicly-listed companies and is currently Managing Director of Chalice Gold Mines Limited, Chairman of Liontown Resources Limited and a Director of PhosEnergy Limited.
Mr Goyder was elected as a Director of the Company on 18[th] March 2002, and is currently Chairman of the Company and a member of the Company’s Audit Committee. Mr Goyder is the Company’s largest Shareholder with an interest of 27.23%, and as Mr Goyder takes an active role in the management of the Company, the Board is of the view that Mr Goyder is not an independent director in accordance with Box 2.3 of the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendation 3[rd] Edition . The Board however are of the view that Mr Goyder acts independently in his role as Chairman.
Mr Goyder, being eligible, has offered himself for re-election as a Director of the Company in accordance with rule 75.4 of the Constitution.
Recommendation
The Board (except Mr Goyder) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
RESOLUTIONS 3, 4 AND 5 – SHARE ISSUES TO MR TIMOTHY GOYDER, MR BRYN JONES AND MR RICHARD HACKER IN LIEU OF ACCRUED AND OUTSTANDING CONSULANT AND/OR DIRECTORS’ FEES
With the aim to preserve cash within the Company, each of Mr Goyder, Mr Jones and Mr Hacker ( Related Parties ) agreed to accrue part or all of their respective consultant and/or Directors’ fees from 1 July 2013 up until 30 September 2015.
Each Related Party has now agreed with the Company that, subject to Shareholder approval, and again with the intention of preserving cash within the Company, they will accept Shares in lieu of their respective accrued Directors' and or consultant fees.
8
Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval to issue the Related Parties (or their respective nominees) the following number of Shares, each at a deemed issue price of 0.8 cents per Share:
| Director | Fees Outstanding ($) | Shares to be Issued |
|---|---|---|
| Timothy Goyder | 78,408 | 9,801,000 |
| Bryn Jones | 6,066 | 758,250 |
| Richard Hacker | 6,066 | 758,250 |
| Total | 90,540 | 11,317,500 |
The deemed issued price of 0.8 cents per Share was based on the August 2015 non-renounceable rights issue price.
Part 2E of the Corporations Act
Part 2E.1 of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party (such as a Director) unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions in section 210 to 217 of the Corporations Act; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.
Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides an exception for a financial benefit to a related party that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing on arm's length terms. Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides an exception for a financial benefit that is remuneration to an officer of the Company where the remuneration is reasonable given the circumstances of the Company and the officer (including the responsibilities involved in such office).
The Directors consider that the issue of Shares in lieu of consultant and/or Directors' accrued fees is both on arm's length terms and reasonable remuneration in the circumstances given the issue is in essence a conversion of the Directors' existing cash entitlements to Shares on the basis of the market price of Shares, and does not involve any additional remuneration to the Directors. The Directors therefore consider that Shareholder approval is not required under Part 2E.1 of the Corporations Act.
It is noted that as Messrs Goyder, Jones and Hacker may have a material personal interest in the outcomes of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at a Directors’’ meeting to consider these Resolutions. Accordingly, the Directors are seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to section 195(4) of the Corporations Act (Resolution 6).
ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company cannot issue equity securities to a related party (including its directors) unless shareholder approval is obtained or the issue falls within one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. As none of the exceptions apply to the issue of Shares to Directors under Resolutions 3, 4 or 5, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
The Company provides the following information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to the Related Parties are as follows:
-
(i) under Resolution 3, the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Timothy Goyder is 9,801,000, and
-
(ii) under Resolution 4, the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Bryn Jones is 758,250; and
-
(iii) under Resolution 5, the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Richard Hacker is 758,250.
9
-
(c) the Shares will be issued under Resolutions 3, 4 and 6 to Messrs Goyder, Jones and Hacker respectively. They will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that the issue of those Shares will occur on the same date;
-
(d) the deemed issued price of 0.8 cents per Share was based on the August 2015 non-renounceable rights issue. The number of Shares to be issued to the respective Related Parties was calculated by dividing the consultant and/or Directors' fees owing to the Related Parties by the issue price of 0.008 cents;
-
(e) the Related Party Shares are to be issued in lieu of consultant and/or Directors' fees and accordingly no funds will be raised as a result of the issue; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is included for Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 in the Notice of Meeting.
As approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are approved, the Shares issued will not count towards the Company's 15% placement capacity.
Recommendation
Each director recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions that they do not have a personal interest in.
RESOLUTION 6 – SECTION 195 APPROVAL
In accordance with section 195 of the Corporations Act, a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a "material personal interest" are being considered.
Messrs Goyder, Jones and Hacker may have a material personal interest in the outcomes of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5.
In the absence of this Resolution 6 the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at directors' meetings necessary to carry out the terms of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5.
The Directors accordingly exercise their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to resolve.
