A list of qualifying questions will be made available at the Annual General Meeting.

Please note that all questions must be received at least five Business Days before the Annual General Meeting, that is by no later than 11:00am (WST) on 17 November 2016 .

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.

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 2016 which is also available on the Company’s website at www.kibaranresources.com.

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

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, 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 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 an extraordinary general 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 most recent 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 reelection 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.

At the Company’s 2015 annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

3 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.

4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

8. Resolution 5 – Ratification of the issue of SECURITIES

On 24 August 2016, 47,300,000 Shares were issued without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1; and on

30 August 2016, the Company announced that it had issued 950,000 Shares to consultants in lieu of cash without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1,

(together the Placement Securities).

As announced in the Appendix 3B dated 30 August 2016, the Company’s remaining issue capacity is as follows:

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 – 3,293; and

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A – 284,805.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Securities.

Purpose of Resolution 5 and Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities equating to more than 15% of its issued capital in a 12 month period without shareholder approval (15% Limit), unless an exception applies.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without shareholder approval is deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 provided that the issue did not breach the 15% Limit and the company at a general meeting subsequently approves the issue.

Shareholder ratification for the issue of the Placement Securities is now sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, to reinstate the Company's capacity to issue up to 15% of its issued capital, if required, in the next 12 months without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

Notice requirements under Listing Rule 7.5

It is a requirement of Listing Rule 7.5, that a listed entity seeking subsequent shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 provide with the following information to Shareholders:

In relation to Resolution 5:

the total number of Shares issued was 48,250,000;

the issue price per Share for 47,300,000 of the Shares was $0.23;

950,000 Shares were issued in leiu of cash payments to consultants;

the terms and conditions of the Shares are identical to the Company's existing fully paid ordinary Shares;

47,300,000 of the Shares were issued to sophisticated investors and 950,000 of the Shares were issued to consultants of the Company. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company;

funds raised from the issue of 47,300,000 Shares at $0.23 per Share are being used to fund pre-development activities at Epanko. They will also enable Kibaran to undertake studies on increasing Epanko’s planned production from 40,000 tonnes a year of graphite concentrate to 60,000tpa and to conduct a feasibility study on downstream processing options, including the production of battery-grade graphite for sale to the lithium ion battery industry and other value add products; and

no funds were raised from the issue of 950,000 shares issued to consultants as this issue was in lieu of cash payments for services provided to the Company.

Directors’ Recommendation in relation to Resolution 5

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

9. Resolution 6 – Approval of 10% placement facility under Listing Rule 7.1A

9.1 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 as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $52,116,514 based on the number of Shares on issue (242,402,394) as at the date of this Notice (7 October 2016) and the closing price of Shares ($0.215) on the ASX on the trading day prior to the date of this Notice (7 October 2016).

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 9.2 (c) below).

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 6 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

9.2 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.

(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 period of the approval (described at section 98.2(f) below), 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:

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

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

  • (iii) Plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of fully paid ordinary shares under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (iv) Less the number of fully paid ordinary 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 242,402,394 Shares and has capacity to issue 3,293 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and 284,805 quoted 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 9.2 (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 ).

9.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 6 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 6 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).

9.4 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 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 6 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 has on issue as at 11 October 2016. 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 50% as against the last traded price on ASX as at 11 October 2016.

Notes:

  1. Market Price means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.

  2. Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ASX Code: KNL (terms are set out in the Constitution).

  3. Unquoted Options:

  4. (a) exercisable at $0.20 each, on or before 29 August 2016, with no vesting conditions. This class is no longer on issue – 6,124,999 were issued and 541,667 lapsed unexercised on the expiry date.

  5. (b) exercisable at $0.2282 each, on or before 2 June 2019, with no vesting conditions. The full terms and conditions were disclosed in the notice of meeting for the shareholder meeting held on 27 May 2016.

  6. This is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

  7. In respect of quoted Equity Securities the value is based on the closing price of Shares on 7 October 2016 ($0.215). In respect of unquoted Equity Securities the value of Options is measured using the Black & Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the Option, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the Option. No account is taken of any performance conditions included in the terms of the Option other than market based performance conditions (i.e. conditions linked to the price of Shares).

  8. 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.
