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 30th November 2016.

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 Jones as a Director;

  • (c) the issue of Options to Mr Tim Goyder;

(d) the issue of Options to Mr Bryn Jones;

  • (e) the issue of Options to Mr Richard Hacker;

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 2016 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 2015 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 2017 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 BRYN JONES 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.

Mr Richard Hacker and Mr Bryn Jones were both most recently elected at the 2014 annual general meeting. It has been agreed in accordance with rule 75.3 of the Constitution that Mr Bryn Jones will retire at this annual general meeting.

Mr Jones, being eligible, has offered himself for re-election as a Director of the Company in accordance with rule 75.4 of the Constitution.

Mr Jones is an Industrial Chemist with extensive experience in the uranium industry, particularly in the development of the PhosEnergy Process and operation of In-Situ Recovery (ISR) mines gained during his time at Heathgate Resources, the operator of the Beverley Uranium Mine. Mr Jones has also worked for Worley Parsons on the Olympic Dam Expansion Project and consulted on various ISR operations around the world. Mr Jones is managing director of PhosEnergy Limited. Mr Jones has been the Managing Director (resigned 28 March 2014) and a Director of the Company since 2009 and is a member of the Company’s Audit Committee.

The Board (except Mr Jones) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

RESOLUTIONS 3, 4 AND 5 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MESSRS TIM GOYDER, BRYN JONES AND RICHARD HACKER

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to issue 3,000,000 unquoted Options to the Company’s Chairman, Mr Tim Goyder, or his nominee, under the Company's Employee Share Option Plan ( “ESOP” ) on the terms set out below.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to issue 3,000,000 unquoted Options to Non-executive Director, Mr Bryn Jones, or his nominee, under the ESOP on the terms set out below.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to issue 3,000,000 unquoted Options to Non-executive Director, Mr Richard Hacker, or his nominee, under the ESOP on the terms set out below.

8

Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options, is sought for the purposes of:

  • (a) Part 2E.1 of the Corporations Act, which governs the giving of financial benefits to “related parties”, such as directors of a company; and

  • (b) ASX Listing Rule 10.14, which requires the grant of securities to a director of a company under an employee incentive scheme to be approved by shareholders.

Purpose of the Options Issue

The purpose of the proposed grant of Options is to provide Messrs Goyder, Jones and Hacker ( “Eligible Directors” ) with an added incentive in carrying out their duties as Directors of the Company. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Options is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Options to continue to attract and retain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

Terms of the Options

Subject to Shareholder approval:

  • (a) Mr Goyder (or his nominee) will be issued 3,000,000 Options for nil consideration under the Company’s ESOP, which vest immediately, are exercisable at 2.5 cents each and expire on 30 November 2021;

  • (b) Mr Jones (or his nominee) will be issued 3,000,000 Options for nil consideration under the Company’s ESOP, which vest immediately, are exercisable at 2.5 cents each and expire on 30 November 2021; and

  • (c) Mr Hacker (or his nominee) will be issued 3,000,000 Options for nil consideration under the Company’s ESOP, which vest immediately, are exercisable at 2.5 cents each and expire on 30 November 2021.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme 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.

As Shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

The following information is provided for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15:

  • (a) the Options will be issued under the ESOP to the Eligible Directors (or their nominee/s), each of whom is a Director;

  • (d) no persons as referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 have received securities under the ESOP since the last approval at the Company's 2014 annual general meeting;

  • (f) voting exclusion statements are included in the Notice;

  • (g) there are no loans proposed in relation to the proposed acquisition of the Options by the Eligible Directors; and

  • (h) the Options will be issued as soon as practicable following the date of Shareholder approval but in any event no later than 12 months after the Annual General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules).

Part 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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 Eligible Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. The proposed grant of unquoted Options to the Eligible Directors (or their nominee/s) involves the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company, and therefore, requires Shareholder approval.

Information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act

In accordance with the requirements of Part 2E of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the proposed issue of Options to the Eligible Directors:

  • (a) ( Related parties ): Mr Goyder is the Chairman of the Company, and Messrs Jones and Hacker are Nonexecutive Directors of the Company. The Eligible Directors are the persons to whom the financial benefit, in the nature of Options, is to be given. As Directors, the Eligible Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act.

  • (b) ( Financial benefit ): The financial benefits to be given is the grant of 3,000,000 unquoted Options to each of the Eligible Directors on the terms noted above and otherwise on the terms and conditions of the ESOP.

  • (c) ( Directors' recommendations ): Those Directors who have no interest in the outcome of Resolution 3 (being all Directors other than Mr Goyder) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 on the basis that the Options to be granted provide Mr Goyder with an appropriate incentive in recognition of his extensive knowledge, experience and will enable directors’ fees to be kept to a modest figure.

Those Directors who have no interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 (being all Directors other than Mr Jones) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 on the basis that the Options to be granted provide Mr Jones with an appropriate incentive in recognition of his extensive knowledge, experience and will enable directors’ fees to be kept to a modest figure.

Those Directors who have no interest in the outcome of Resolution 5 (being all Directors other than Mr Hacker) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 on the basis that the Options to be granted provide Mr Hacker with an appropriate incentive in recognition of his extensive knowledge, experience and will enable directors’ fees to be kept to a modest figure.

In determining the appropriate number of Options to be issued, the Board has calculated the value of the Options using a Black & Scholes valuation model (see (e) below). The Board believes that the value of the Options in addition to the modest director’s fees is an appropriate quantum and incentive for the Eligible Directors.

  • (d) ( Directors’ interests ): Mr Goyder makes no recommendation in relation to Resolution 3 on the basis that he has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution, Mr Jones makes no recommendation in relation to Resolution 4 on the basis that he has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution and Mr Hacker makes no recommendation in relation to Resolution 5 on the basis that he has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

  • (e) ( Valuation of financial benefit ): The Options will be issued free of charge. However in the event that the Eligible Directors wish to exercise their Options they would need to pay the appropriate exercise price in relation to the Options which is 2.5 cents. If an Eligible Director were to exercise all 3,000,000 of his Options he would be required to pay $75,000 assuming an exercise price of 2.5 cents. These proceeds would be used

10

for the Company’s general working capital requirements at the appropriate time. The exercise price and exercise date for the Options are set out below.

Using a Black & Scholes valuation model, the Company estimates that each Option, the subject of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 respectively, has the following values based on the following assumptions:

Director MrGoyder MrJones Mr Hacker

(f) ( Trading history ): Over the past 12 months prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting, the lowest recorded closing price of Shares traded on ASX was 0.3 cents on 23 March 2016 and the highest closing price was 0.7 cents on 4 August 2016. At the close of trading on 13 October 2016 the Share price on the ASX was 0.4 cents.

The exercise price of 2.5 cents represents a premium of 400% to the Company’s closing 30 day volume weighted average price of 0.5 cents prior to 13 October 2016.

(g) ( Directors' relevant interest ): The Company currently has 618,502,191 Shares on issue. The interests of the Eligible Directors in Company securities of the date of this Notice are as follows:

Director MrGoyder MrJones Mr Hacker
Shares 170,575,354 5,245,583 3,325,545

If Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are passed, the Eligible Directors will hold interests in Company securities as follows:

Director Mr Goyder Mr Jones Mr Hacker
Shares 170,575,354 5,245,583 3,325,545
Options 3,000,000 (exercisable at
$0.025 each on or before 30
November 2021)
3,000,000 (exercisable at
$0.025 each on or before 30
November 2021)
3,000,000 (exercisable
at $0.025 each on or
before
30
November
2021)

Assuming that all Resolutions in this Notice of Meeting are approved by Shareholders and each Eligible Director exercises all of the Options to be granted to him pursuant to Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 respectively, the Eligible Directors' interests in Company securities (including all securities currently held) would be as follows:

11

  • (i) Mr Goyder's interest would represent approximately 27.41% of the Company’s expanded capital;

  • (ii) Mr Jones's interest would represent approximately 1.30% of the Company’s expanded capital; and

  • (iii) Mr Hacker's interest would represent approximately 1.00% of the Company’s expanded capital.

  • (h) ( Total remuneration package ): Currently, Mr Goyder does not receive any non-executive director’s fees or any other form of remuneration, Messrs Jones and Hacker are each entitled to non-executive director’s fees of $25,000 (inclusive of superannuation).

  • (i) ( Taxation consequences ): There are no taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the Options (including fringe benefits tax).

  • (j) ( Issue of Options ): The Options will be issued as soon as practicable following the date of Shareholder approval but in any event no later than 12 months after the Annual General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules). The right to exercise will be subject to the terms of their issue.

  • (k) ( Other information ): Neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by the Shareholders to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of Shareholders to approve Resolutions 3, 4 and 5.

Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

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.

The Eligible Directors may have a material personal interest in the outcomes of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 and in the absence of approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, 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.

Recommendation

The Directors, excluding Mr Tim Goyder, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Directors, excluding Mr Bryn Jones, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

The Directors, excluding Mr Richard Hacker, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

1.

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights. If the Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

2.

A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

3. Signing Instructions

You must sign this form as follows in the spaces provided:

Individual: where the holding is in one name, the holder must sign.

Joint Holding: where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged this document with the Company’s share registry. If you have not previously lodged this document for notation, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
