RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE AN ADDITIONAL 10% OF THE ISSUED CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY OVER A 12 MONTH PERIOD PURSUANT TO LISTING RULE 7.1A

Introduction

Pursuant to Resolution 4, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.

General

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the entity’s annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the

Elementos Limited

Page 7

Explanatory Memorandum

period up to 12 months after the Meeting ( Placement Securities ), without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company may issue the Placement Securities to raise funds for the Company and as non-cash consideration (further details of which are set out below). Funds raised from the issue of Placement Securities, if undertaken, would be applied towards the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets and general working capital (including payment of expenses associated with the issue of Placement Securities).

Resolution 4 is a Special Resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 for it to be passed. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, no Placement Securities will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at the AGM.

Listing Rule 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

Eligibility

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 less than $300,000,000.

The Company is therefore able to undertake an additional 10% placement under Listing Rule 7.1A. In the event that the Company is no longer an eligible entity to undertake an additional 10% placement after the Company has already obtained Shareholder approval, the approval obtained will not lapse and the Company will still be entitled to issue the Placement Securities.

The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has only one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares.

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.

Special Resolution

Listing Rule 7.1A requires this Resolution 4 to be passed as a Special Resolution, which means that it must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the Resolution. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, no Placement Securities will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at the Meeting.

Shareholder Approval

The ability to issue the Placement Securities is conditional upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution at the Meeting.

Date of Issue

The Placement Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking), at which time approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will cease to be valid; or

Elementos Limited

Page 8

Explanatory Memorandum

(iii) such longer period if allowed by ASX.

( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

If approval is given for the 10% Placement Capacity at the AGM on 22 November 2019, then the approval will expire on 22 November 2020. In addition, the approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Placement 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 of the Company) or Listing Rule 11.2 (the disposal of the main undertaking of the Company) before the anniversary of the AGM.

Formula for calculating Additional 10% placement

At the date of the Meeting the Company will have on issue 1,544,330,961 Shares, and therefore has capacity to issue:

  • (i) 231,649,644 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 154,433,096 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that Eligible Entities that 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 below formula. The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue with approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A = the number of fully paid ordinary securities (Shares) on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

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

  • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4;

  • (iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

  • D = 10%.

E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the issue date or date of agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A and Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 4:

Elementos Limited

Page 9

Explanatory Memorandum

Equity Securities

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

As at the date of this notice of meeting, the only class of Equity Securities in the Company quoted on the ASX are ordinary shares. The Company presently has 1,544,330,961 Shares on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Placement Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the relevant Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the relevant Placement Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the relevant Placement Securities are issued.

The Company will disclose to the ASX the issue price on the date of issue of the relevant Placement Securities.

Information on Allotment

If Resolution 4 is passed and the Company issues any Placement Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the Company will give to ASX:

  • (i) a list of allottees of the Placement Securities and the number of Placement Securities allotted to each (this list will not be released to the market); and

  • (ii) the following information required by rule 3.10.5A, will be released to the market on the date of issue:

  • a. details of the dilution to the existing holders of Equity Securities caused by the issue;

  • b. where the Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, a statement of the reasons why the Company issued the Equity Securities as a placement under rule 7.1A and not as (or in addition to) a pro rata issue or other type of issue in which existing Shareholders would have been eligible to participate;

  • c. details of any underwriting arrangements, including any fees payable to the underwriter; and

  • d. any other fees or costs incurred in connection with the issue.

Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Placement Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Equity Securities under the issue. If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

Elementos Limited

Explanatory Memorandum

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. Resolution 4 is passed.

  2. The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 9 October 2019.

  3. The Share price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 9 October 2019 (being the last trading day before the date of this Notice of Meeting).

  4. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  5. The above table only shows the dilutionary effect based on the 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A and not the 15% issue under Listing Rule 7.1.

  6. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.

  7. The issued capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at 9 October 2019.

  8. The issue price of the Placement Securities used in the table is the same as the Share price and does not take into account any discount to the share price (if any).

  9. The CRPS have not yet converted to Shares and are therefore not included in the calculations above.

  10. No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  11. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  12. Only Shares will be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

Elementos Limited

Page 11

Explanatory Memorandum

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

  • (ii) the Placement Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the date of issue,

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

Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity – Listing Rule 7.3A.4

The Company may issue Placement Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) for cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets and general working capital (including payment of expenses associated with the issue of Placement Securities); or

  • (ii) for non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments and payment of expenses, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the Placement Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Placement Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement will be vendors of the new assets or investments.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Placement Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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