Resolution 1

Adopdoption of 2019 Directors’ Remuneration Report

The 2019 Annual Report contains the Directors’ Remuneration Report, which, in accordance with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001, sets out the Company’s remuneration policy, reports on the remuneration arrangements in place for Non-Executive Directors and explains the Board’s policies in relation to the objectives and structure of remuneration paid to Directors during the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 12 to 15 inclusive of the 2019 Annual Report, which is incorporated into the Directors’ Report.

Consistent with Section 250R (2) of the Corporations Act 2001, the Company presents the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2019 to Shareholders for consideration and adoption, by way of an Ordinary Resolution.

The Directors believe that the Company’s remuneration policies and structures as outlined in the Remuneration Report are appropriate for the size of the Company, its business and objectives. The Board continues to focus on refining and improving the Company’s remuneration framework in support of the strategic direction and to determine the best way forward with remuneration policies that supports the current and future needs of the Company.

==> picture [208 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

In accordance with Section 250SA of the Corporations Act, shareholders present at the Annual General Meeting will be given an opportunity by the Chair of the Meeting to discuss the 2019 Remuneration Report.

Resolution 1 will be decided as an ordinary (majority) resolution but in accordance with section 250R (3) of the Corporations Act the outcome does not bind the Directors of the Company.

A failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report. However, the Board will consider the outcomes of the votes when considering the future remuneration arrangements of the Company.

The Director and Executive Remuneration Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011 provides Shareholders with the opportunity to remove the whole Board (except the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer) under the two strike rules.

Where the Against/No vote on the Remuneration Report Resolution is 25% or more of the total votes received at 2 consecutive annual general meetings, the Board Spill provisions will be triggered and all Directors (other than the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer) who are in office at the date of the applicable Directors’ Report must stand for re-election.

Previous voting results

  • The 2017 Remuneration Report was approved by Shareholders;

  • The 2018 Remuneration Report was approved by Shareholders; and

  • If at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 at the 2019 Annual General Meeting are against adoption of the 2019 Directors’ Remuneration Report, the Board Spill provisions will not be trigged but the Company will record a 1[st] Strike.

Proxy restrictions

Pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the 2019 Directors’ Remuneration Report or their closely related party are not permitted to vote undirected proxies on remuneration matters

If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the Remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel, which includes the Chairman.

Recommendation of Board

The Board unanimously recommends the adoption of the 2019 Directors’ Remuneration Report.

The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2

Eclipse Metals Limited currently has three (3) Non-Executive Directors – Mr Rodney Dale, Mr Carl Popal and Mr Ibrar Idrees.

Resolution 3

Reset of 15% threshold through the ratification of past issue of 86,433,334 Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

General

On 14[th] October 2019, Eclipse issued 83,333,334 fully paid Ordinary Shares ( Shares ) the subject of Resolutions 3.1 and 3.2, without prior Shareholder approval from the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 provides a company with the ability to issue during any 12-month period, that amount of securities that represents up to 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period without Shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 enables the Company to ratify an issue of securities made without prior Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 if:

  • (a) the issue of Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) Shareholders subsequently approve the issue of those securities by the Company.

By ratifying the issues, the subject of Resolutions 3.1 and 3.2, the base figure which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be increased by 83,333,334 Shares which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval, post completion of the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

If the issues, the subject of Resolutions 3.1 and 3.2 are not ratified, the issues remain valid, but Eclipse will be restricted in the number of Securities that can be issued.

Resolution 3.1 Ratification of past issue of 82,666,667 Shares

On 14 October 2019, Eclipse completed a small-scale placement with several professional and sophisticated investors raising $248,000, issuing 82,666,667 Shares at $0.003 per Share to raise $248,000.

9

==> picture [208 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

Eclipse did not seek Shareholder approval before issuing the 82,666,667 Shares as reliance was placed upon the provisions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. However, approval from Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to allow for future equity issue flexibility is now being sought at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 3.1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 82,666,667 Shares.

The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.1.

Resolution 3.2 Ratification of past issue of 3,766,667 Shares

Whilst the majority of professional and sophisticated investors who participated in the small-scale placement, the subject of Resolution 3.1 were from the Company’s own network of contact, there

10

==> picture [208 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

were several new investors introduced to Eclipse through Advisers and it was agreed to issue Company Shares in lieu of fees for assisting with the placement.

Eclipse did not seek Shareholder approval before issuing the 3,766,667 Shares as reliance was placed upon the provisions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. However, approval from Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to allow for future equity issue flexibility is now being sought at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

Further details of the Shares issued to each Adviser is disclosed in Annexure A.

Recommendation of Board

The Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.2, as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue the maximum number of equity securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval which will enable Eclipse to pursue its growth strategy with the flexibility to act quickly as potential business opportunities arise.

Furthermore, Eclipse was able to preserve its cash resources by paying for services in Shares.

The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.1.

Resolution 4 Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity

General

11

==> picture [208 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, small and mid-cap listed entities that meet the eligibility threshold and have obtained the approval of their ordinary shareholders by special resolution at the annual general meeting, are permitted to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12-month period from the date of the annual general meeting ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ).

The Additional 10% Placement under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the ability of the Company to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval over a 12-month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. The Company may issue the Equity Securities to raise funds for the Company and as non-cash consideration (further details of which are set out below).

Resolution 4 is a special resolution seeking Shareholder approval to enable Eclipse to issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity throughout the next 12 months after the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.3A, Shareholders are advised of the following information:

Listing Rule 7.1A

  • Eligibility

An entity is eligible to undertake an Additional 10% Placement if at the time of its annual general meeting it has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and it is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Eclipse’s market capitalisation is $2,871,685 (based on the number of Shares currently on issue and the closing price of Shares on 03 October 2019, being $0.00 25. Accordingly, Eclipse is not an eligible entity at the time of this Notice of Annual General meeting but may be an eligible entity as at the time of the Annual General Meeting.

In the event, Eclipse ceases to be an Eligible Entity as at the date of the Annual General Meeting, them the Resolution will be withdrawn at the Meeting.

In the event, Eclipse ceases to be an Eligible Entity post the 2019 Annual General Meeting, the approval obtained will not lapse and the Company will still be entitled to issue the Equity Securities during the 12-month period following this Annual General Meeting.

Shareholder Approval by Special Resolution

The ability to issue the Equity Securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A is conditional upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution at the 2019 Annual General Meeting and no Equity Securities will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at the Annual General Meeting.

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice of Meeting, Eclipse has on issue 1,235,107,424 Shares and will have the capacity to issue the below Equity Securities immediately following the Meeting:

  • 185,266,114 Equity Securities under its 15% Placement Capacity (Listing Rule 7.1); and

  • 123,510,742 Equity Securities under its 10% Additional Capacity (Listing Rule 7.1A), subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 4.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as described following).

Listing Rule 7.1A.2

  • Formula for calculating the 10% Placement Capacity

12

==> picture [208 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an AGM may issue or agree to issue, during the 10% Placement Period, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • plus, the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus, the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • plus, the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 (which does not include the 10% Placement Capacity);

  • less the number of fully paid 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 of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

Listing Rule 7.3A.1

Minimum Issue Price

The pricing formula for Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Equity Securities calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (1) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (2) if the Equity Securities are not issued within five (5) trading days of the date in paragraph (1) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

The Company will disclose to the ASX the issue price on the date of issue of the Equity Securities

Listing Rule 7.3A.2

Dilution

If Resolution 4 is passed and the Company issues the Equity Securities, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to the existing Shareholders. The Company currently has on issue 1,148,674,090 Shares and could issue 114,867,409 Shares immediately following the AGM (however, it is important to note that the exact number of Equity Securities which may be issued will be calculated in accordance with the formula contained in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, details of which are set out above). Any issue of Equity Securities will have a dilutive effect on existing Shareholders.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than it is on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • the Company’s Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the date of issue

which may influence the amount of funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, the table below shows the dilution effect for existing Shareholders upon the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, using different variables such as:

13

==> picture [208 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

  • the issued share capital has increased by both 50% and 100%; and

  • the market price of the Shares as at the close of trade on 03 October 2019 has halved and then doubled.

*The number of Shares on issue could increase because of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro rata rights issue or shares issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The following assumptions were made when preparing the dilution table:

  1. There are currently 1,235,107,424 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting;

  2. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares;

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

  4. No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  5. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. Therefore, the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%;

  6. The table does not show the dilution affect that may be caused to a Shareholder;

  7. The table only shows the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A not under the 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  8. The issue price of $0.0004 is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX as at 15 October 2019

Listing Rule 7.3A.3

Issue Period

Eclipse will receive a mandate, if Resolution 4 is approved to issue the Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity from the 22 November 2019 until the earlier of the following:

  • (a) 22 November 2020, being the date that is 12 months after the date of the 2019 Annual General Meeting; or

  • (b) The date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking)

Listing Rule 7.3A.4

Purpose of the Issue

The purpose for which the Equity Securities may be issued include to raise funds for the Company.

Funds raised from the issue of Equity Securities, if undertaken, could be applied towards:

  1. Cash purposes for exploration opportunities as well as new mineral projects acquired by the Company during the period ahead and/or general working capital; and

  2. Non-cash purposes being potential acquisition of new assets and investment opportunities

  • Shares Issued for Non-Cash Consideration

Eclipse may issue Equity Securities for non-cash consideration, such as the acquisition of new assets or interest. If the Company issues Equity Securities for non-cash consideration, the Company will release to the market a valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the Equity Securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

Listing Rule 7.3A.5

Allocation Policy

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue of the Equity Securities. The identity of the potential investors of Equity Securities will be determined on a case - by - case basis having regard to several factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (1) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issue; or

  • (2) other issue in which existing shareholders can participate;

  • (3) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (4) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (5) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The potential investors of the Equity Securities have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Furthermore, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments for which Equity Securities are issued as consideration, it is likely that the potential investors of some of the Equity Securities will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

Listing Rule 7.3A.6A

Previous approval

Whilst the Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2018 Annual General Meeting held on 23 November 2018, no Equity Securities have been issued under the 10% Additional Placement Facility since the date of the 2018 Annual General Meeting and the date of this Notice of Meeting.

Equity Issues over Last 12 Months

86,433,334 Securities were issued in the 12-month period preceding the 22 November 2019 Meeting representing 0.076% of the Equity Securities on issue at the start of the 12 Month Period.

==> picture [208 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

  • (a) 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (b) The information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is included for this Resolution in the Notice of Meeting accompanying the Explanatory Memorandum. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not approached 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 4.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4, as it allows the Company flexibility to issue Shares at a discount to the then market price in circumstances where it might otherwise be subjected to the cost, delay and uncertainty of having to go back to Shareholders for approval.

The additional flexibility and speed to conduct capital raising will better position the Company to pursue its interests in the prevailing difficult market conditions.

The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
