4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

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.

Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2014 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an [extraordinary] general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's 2013 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2013 Directors' report 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 reelection as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

At the Company’s 2012 Annual General Meeting, the adoption of the Remuneration Report was carried on a unanimous show of hands, and in excess of 75% of the proxies received by the Company voted in favour of this resolution. 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 2013 which is also available on the Company’s website at www.kibarannickel.com.au.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

4.1 Key Management Personnel Proxy Restrictions

Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) restricts members of the key management personnel ( KMP ) of the Company and their closely related parties (which includes a KMP’s spouse, dependent and company controlled by the KMP) from voting in relation to remuneration related items in certain circumstances.

This restriction does not limit shareholders from appointing the Chairman as their proxy with a direction to cast the votes on a resolution (which may be contrary to the Chairman’s stated voting intention) or from abstaining from voting on a resolution.

What this means for shareholders : If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP (such as the Chairman of the AGM or one of the directors) as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on Resolution 1. If you intend to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by either marking the boxes for Resolutions 1 (for example if you wish to vote for or against or to abstain from voting), or by appointing the Chairman as your proxy without directing him how to vote, you will need to give expressed authority for the Chairman to exercise your proxy by marking the tick box on Step 3 of the proxy form(in which case the Chairman of the Meeting will vote in favour of Resolution 1.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Simon O’Loughlin

Article 6.1 of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number).

Article 6.4 provides that a Director who retires under Article 6.1 is eligible for reelection. Pursuant to these Articles of the Constitution, Simon O’Loughlin will retire by rotation and seek re-election.

Brief Curriculum Vitae of Director Simon O’Loughlin

Shareholders are referred to the Annual Report on page 8 where details of Mr O’Loughlin may be obtained

Directors’ Recommendation and Reasons for Recommendation in relation to Resolution 2

The Directors (other than Simon O’Loughlin) recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Re-election of Grant Pierce

Grant Pierce was appointed as a director of the Company on 17 January 2013 pursuant to Article 9.1 if the Company’s Constitution.

Clause 6.2(c) of the Company’s Constitution provides that the Directors may at any time appoint any person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but so that the total number of Directors does not any time exceed the maximum number (not more than nine) determined in accordance with this Constitution. Any Director so appointed holds office only until the end of the next following general meeting and is eligible for re-election at that meeting.

The applicable provision of ASX Listing Rule 14.4 states that a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the entity.

Section 201H(3) of the Corporations Act also provides that if a person is appointed by the other directors as a director of a public company, the company must confirm that person’s appointment at the company’s next annual general meeting - otherwise that person will cease to be a director at the end of that annual general meeting.

In accordance with the terms of his appointment, ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and Section 201H(3) of the Corporations Act, Mr Grant Pierce only holds office until the end of the next general meeting of the Company. Mr Pierce, being eligible for re-election, now seeks re-election as a Director of the Company.

Directors’ Recommendation and Reasons for Recommendation in relation to Resolution 3

The Directors (other than Grant Pierce) recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7. Resolution 4 – Appointment of Auditor

Following the resignation (subject to ASIC approval) of BDO East Coast Partnership as auditors to the Company, the Company seeks to appoint Ernst and Young as auditors to the Company. Pursuant to Section 328 of the Corporations Act 2001, Ernst and Young, having been nominated by a shareholder (refer to Annexure A of this explanatory Memorandum for a copy of the nomination), consent to act as auditors to the Company and seek shareholder approval to be appointed as such.

Under the Corporations Act 2001, the resignation of an auditor is subject to approval by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and appointment of a new auditor is subject to approval at an annual general meeting. BDO East Coast Partnership has sought ASIC approval to resign and the Company seeks approval at this meeting for Ernst and Young to be appointed auditors subject to ASIC approval.

The Directors unamiously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of appointing Ernst and Young as the Companys Auditors.

8. Resolution 5 – Approval of 10% placement facility under Listing Rule 7.1A

8.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting (10% Placement Facility). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 8.2 (c) below).

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 5 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

8.2 Description Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

As at the date of this Notice, the only class of Equity Securities in the Company quoted on the ASX are the Shares set out in the below table. The Company presently has 67,076,404 Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

Security Class Number on
issue
Quoted Ordinary Shares 67,076,404
Performance Shares 15,930,000

Class B Performance Shares 7,500,000
Class C Performance Shares 7,500,000
Unlisted options with various exercise prices and
expiry dates
13,000,000

(c) Formula for calculation 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

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

  • (A) Plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (B) Plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (C) 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. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (D) 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.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

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

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 67,076,404 shares and has capacity to issue 10,061,460 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and 6,707,640 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have 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 (refer to section 8.2 (c) above)

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that relevant 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 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) The date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) The date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX (10% Placement Period).

8.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

8.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that relevant 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 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) The market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) The Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset;

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (i) Two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company currently has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) Two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility

  • (ii) No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of Equity Securities;

  • (iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. The is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%;

  • (iv) 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 Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting;

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (vii) The issue price is $0.05 being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 16 October 2013.

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 5 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) Non-cash consideration for the acquisition of assets such as mineral exploration tenements, or a business or company holding mineral exploration tenements. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) Cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.

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

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) The methods for raising funds available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

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

  • (iii) The financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) Advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if available).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

  • (e) The Company previously obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at it AGM on 22 November 2012. Since the 2012 AGM the Company has issued a total of 800,000 equity securities, representing 1.2% of the total number of equity securities on issue 12 months prior to the date of the 2013 AGM. This issue of 800,000 options to acquire shares exercisable at $0.27 per Share on or before 11 February 2013 was made on the 3 March 2013 to Mr John Park and Mr Grant Pierce for nil consideration as per a resolution of Shareholder at a General Meeting on 12 February 2013.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class or existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in this Notice.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION OF THE PROXY FORM

Shareholders Name

This is the name of the shareholder as it appears on the Company’s share register. In accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001, the Company determines that ordinary shares held as at 5.00pm on 22 November 2013 will be taken, for the purposes of the Annual General Meeting, to be held by the persons who held them at that time.

Appointment of Proxy

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two other persons (whether shareholders or not) as proxy or proxies to attend in the shareholder’s place at the Annual General Meeting. The proxy has the same right as the shareholder to speak and vote at the Annual General Meeting. If you leave this section blank, the Chairman of the meeting will be your proxy to vote your shares even if you attend the Annual General Meeting (unless you revoke your proxy before the meeting).

Vote on Resolutions

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite the resolution/s you wish to direct your proxy to vote on. If you do so, all your shares will be voted in accordance with your direction. You can split your vote on any resolution/s by inserting the number/s of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box/es. Please ensure you clearly mark the box in black or blue ink by placing a mark or the number of shares you are voting. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

Appointing a Second Proxy

If a shareholder appoints two proxies, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specific proportion of the shareholder’s voting rights. If such appointment is not made then each proxy may exercise half of the shareholder’s voting rights. Fractions shall be disregarded. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form.

Signature(s)

Each shareholder must sign this form. Where the holding is in one name, the shareholder must sign. If your shares are held in joint names, all shareholders must sign in the boxes. If you are signing as an Attorney, then the Power of Attorney must have been noted by the Company or be duly stamped and accompany this form. Only duly authorised officer(s) can sign on behalf of a Company. Please sign in the boxes provided which state the office held by the signatory. Where the holder is a company with a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

Attending the Meeting

Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.

Delivery of Proxy

To be effective, forms to appoint proxies must be received by the Company no later than 48 business hours before the time appointed for the holding of this Annual General Meeting, that is by 10.00 am on Friday 22 October 2013, by post or facsimile to the respective addresses stipulated in this proxy form. Proxy Forms received after this time will be invalid.
