EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement accompanies and comprises part of the notice ( Notice ) convening the Annual General Meeting ( Meeting ) of Shareholders of Emu NL to be held Monday 30 November 2020.

Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be offered a reasonable opportunity to:

(a) discuss the Annual Report which is available online from the Company’s website www.emunl.com.au;

  • (b) ask questions about, or comment on, the management of the Company; and

(c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Company’s auditor, if the question is relevant to:

  • (a) the content of the Auditor’s Report; or

  • (b) the conduct of the audit of the Annual Report to be considered at the AGM,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company by email at [email protected] or delivered to the Company’s registered office.

RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

1.1 General

Section 250R of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put the Remuneration Report to members for adoption. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the Key Management Personnel. Copies of the Annual Report are available by contacting the Company’s share registry or visiting the Company’s web site www.emunl.com.au.

The vote of the members is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.

Following consideration of the Remuneration Report, members will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

1.2 Voting Consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “Spill Resolution”) that another general meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election but at that meeting the voting prohibition applicable to the adoption of the Remuneration Report does not apply meaning all Key Management Personnel and each Closely Related Party may vote and accordingly the outcome at the AGM may be no indication of the likely outcome of the vote on the spill resolution.

1.3 Previous Voting Results

At the Company’s previous 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 Meeting.

Explanatory Statement to Notice of Annual General Meeting 30 November 2020

RESOLUTION 2 –APPROVAL TO RATIFY ISSUE OF SHARES USING 15% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

2.1 General

On 7 October 2020, the Company announced that it had completed a placement of shares to raise $1,065,000 before costs to professional and sophisticated investors, with the proceeds being applied to assist with the acquisition of certain tenements in Western Australia and progressing exploration at its 8 Mile Dam project.

A total of 35,500,000 fully paid ordinary Shares were subsequently issued to sophisticated and professional investors on that same date, with the placement being made at $0.03 per Share.

The Placement was made within the Company’s existing pre-approved Listing Rule 7.1A 10% placement capacity as to 29,800,544 Shares and within its Listing Rule 7.1 15% placement capacity as to 5,699,456 Shares.

The latter Shares, i.e. 5,699,456 Shares are the subject of this Resolution.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by EMU’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing EMU’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Placement issue Date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

EMU wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval to the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If resolution 2 is passed, the Placement will be excluded in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue Date.

If resolution 2 is not passed, the Placement will be included in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue date.

2.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) 5,699,456 fully paid Shares were allotted and issued by the Company within the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity on 7 October 2020;

  • (b) the issue price was $0.03 per Share;

  • (c) the Shares were fully paid ordinary Shares which rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary Shares on issue and currently quoted as ASX:EMU;

  • (d) the Shares were issued as a private placement to numerous sophisticated and professional investors who are not related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) the funds raised were to be applied to assist with the acquisition of certain tenements in Western Australia and progressing exploration at its 8 Mile Dam project.

2.3 Directors Recommendation

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

The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Explanatory Statement to Notice of Annual General Meeting 30 November 2020

RESOLUTION 3 –APPROVAL TO RATIFY ISSUE OF SHARES USING 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

3.1 General

As detailed in the above section 2.1, a total of 35,500,000 fully paid ordinary Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors.

The Placement was made within the Company’s existing pre-approved Listing Rule 7.1A 10% placement capacity as to 29,800,544 Shares and within its Listing Rule 7.1 15% placement capacity as to 5,699,456 Shares.

The former Shares, i.e. 29,800,544 Shares are the subject of this Resolution.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1A limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 10% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by EMU’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing EMU’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12 month period following the Placement issue Date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval provided the issue did not breach, in this case, the 10% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1A. The purpose and effect of such a ratification is to restore the Company’s discretionary power to issue further shares up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company under Listing Rule 7.1A without requiring Shareholder approval.

EMU wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval to the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If resolution 3 is passed, the Placement will be excluded in calculating EMU’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue Date.

If resolution 3 is not passed, the Placement will be included in calculating EMU’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue date.

3.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) 29,800,544 fully paid Shares were allotted and issued by the Company within the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A capacity on 7 October 2020;

  • (b) the issue price was $0.03 per Share;

  • (c) the Shares were fully paid ordinary Shares which rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary Shares on issue and currently quoted as ASX:EMU;

  • (d) the Shares were issued as a private placement to numerous sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom are related parties, substantial holders, or key management personal of the Company; and

  • (e) the funds raised were to be applied to assist with the acquisition of certain tenements in Western Australia and progressing exploration at its 8 Mile Dam project.

3.3 Directors Recommendation

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

The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES TO ACUITY CAPITAL

4.1 General In July 2017, the Company entered into a Controlled Placement Agreement ( CPA ) with Acuity Capital Investment Management Pty Ltd ( Acuity ) under which the Company might (if, when and at a price or prices in one or more tranches) at its sole discretion raise up to $2 million. There is no requirement for the Company to utilise the CPA, which it may terminate at any time, without cost or penalty. The CPA does not contractually restrict EMU’s ability to otherwise raise capital. Each time the Company elects (if at all) to utilise the CPA, it will set a floor price which floor price will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The final issue price will be the greater of the floor price and the price which is 90% to the volume weighted average on market sale price realised by Acuity over a period nominated by the Company. On 15 December 2017, the Company issued 4,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares ( Collateral Shares ) at nil issue price to Acuity Capital. This issue was subsequently ratified at a General Meeting of Shareholders held on 24 August 2018. On 21 February 2019, the original CPA was amended to document the issue of an additional 3,400,000 fully paid ordinary Shares as collateral for the updated CPA. This issue was subsequently ratified at a General Meeting of Shareholders held on 25 March 2019. On 17 December 2019, the original CPA was further amended to document the issue of an additional 8,300,000 fully paid ordinary Shares as collateral for the updated CPA. This intended issue was ratified at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 29 November 2019. The Company intends to further amend (subject to agreement with Acuity), the original CPA to document the issue of up to an additional 7,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares as collateral for the updated CPA.

The Company may, at any time, cancel the CPA and buy back, or at its option, cancel the Collateral Shares for no consideration (subject to shareholder approval) or require the Collateral Shares to be transferred to a third party without any consideration being due or payable to Acuity Capital.

The Company intends to issue the securities the subject of the approval proposed by this resolution on or before the Annual General Meeting, without prior Shareholder approval, out of its 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the said maximum of 7,000,000 securities. Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of Shares to Acuity does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by EMU’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing EMU’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue Date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1 or the 10% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be). The purpose and effect of such a ratification is to restore the Company’s discretionary power to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company under Listing Rule 7.1 and up to a further 10% of the issued capital of the Company under Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be) without requiring Shareholder approval.

EMU wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval to the issue of Shares to Acuity under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. If resolution 4 is passed, the issue of Shares to Acuity will be excluded in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue Date.

If resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of Shares to Acuity will be included in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing

Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue date.

4.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) Up to 7,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares are intended to be issued by the Company to Acuity before or within three months of the Annual General Meeting;

  • (b) the Collateral Shares are to be issued for no cash consideration but rather pursuant to the CPA;

  • (c) the Collateral Shares are to be fully paid ordinary shares which will rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares on issue;

  • (d) the Collateral Shares are intended to be issued as a private placement to Acuity which is not a related party of the Company; and

  • (e) no funds will be raised from the issue.

4.3 Directors Recommendation

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

The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO EMPLOYEES/CONTRACTORS

5.1 General

On 14 February 2020, the Company announced that a total of 10,000,000 unlisted options to acquire partly-paid ordinary shares had been issued. The Board considers that offering incentive options is appropriate to attract and retain the right calibre of professionals to the Company with the appropriate mindset for a junior explorer. Equity-based incentives/remuneration help align the interests of employees/contractors with shareholders in that the employees/contractors thereby have a vested interest in seeing the delivery of value to shareholders through share price appreciation.

The issue was made within the Company’s existing Listing Rule 7.1 15% placement capacity.

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to authorise the Directors to issue the Options without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Options does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by EMU’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing EMU’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Option issue Date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

EMU wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval to the Option issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If resolution 5 is passed, the Option issue will be excluded in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Option issue Date.

If resolution 5 is not passed, the Option issue will be included in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Option issue date.

Explanatory Statement to Notice of Annual General Meeting 30 November 2020

5.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

(a) A total of 10,000,000 Options have been issued by the Company;
(b) the Options were issued to employees/contractors selected by the Board (including 3,000,000 Options which
were issued to Astrial Pty Ltd, a business consulting to the mining and exploration industry which provides
CEO services to EMU), none of whom are excluded from being issued the Options by virtue of ASX Listing
Rule 10.11;
(c) the Options are exercisable at $0.03 each on or before 21 December 2021, entitle the holder to acquire partly-
paid Shares upon the terms and conditions outlined in Appendix A and rank equally with all other Options
issued with the same terms and conditions; and
(d) no funds were raised as the issue of Options was made by way of equity-based remuneration for rendering of
services.
5.3 Directors Recommendation

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

RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES

6.1 General

EMU continues to search for new mineral exploration, development, and mining opportunities within Australia. The purpose of this resolution is to provide the Company with flexibility to raise funds in order to enable the Company to take advantage of opportunities as they arise (such as new projects), to further its existing exploration projects, and to pay for corporate expenses ( Prospective Issue ).

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The Prospective Issue of Shares may not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by EMU’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing EMU’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue Date. EMU wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, resolution 6 seeks shareholder approval to the Prospective Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. The Company will not be obligated to utilise this authority.

If resolution 6 is passed, the Directors will be authorised to issue a capped number of Shares (subject to the specified pricing constraint being met and then only within 3 months of the Meeting or such later date as approved by ASX) and the Prospective Issue will be excluded in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue Date.

If resolution 6 is not passed, the Prospective Issue will be included in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue date.

6.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3 The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3. If the authority is utilised:

(a) the Company will issue up to 50,000,000 Shares;

(b) the Company will issue shares (and the issue date will be) within 3 months of the date of the Meeting or such later date as may be approved by ASX;

11 | P a g e

==> picture [44 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Explanatory Statement to Notice of Annual General Meeting 30 November 2020

  • (c) the minimum issue price per share will be 80% of the volume weighted average market price of the Shares on ASX over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before:

  • (i) the date on which the issue is made; or

  • (ii) if there is a prospectus relating to the issue, the date of the prospectus; or

  • (iii) the date on which the price at which the Shares are to be issued is agreed, provided that the Shares are issued within 5 Trading Days of that date;

(the actual issue price, if any, may be higher – and the Directors will endeavour to procure this);

  • (d) the Shares will be fully paid ordinary Shares and rank equally with all other Shares on issue;

  • (e) subject to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, the Shares will be issued at the discretion of the Directors to persons who have not been identified as at the date of this Notice but who will not be related parties of the Company;

  • (f) the funds raised are intended to be applied towards further exploration work on EMU’s exploration projects, to pay for corporate expenses, and possibly to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise (such as new projects); and

  • (g) at the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue. Therefore, no existing Shareholder’s votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

6.3 Directors Recommendation

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

The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

7.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to the 15% placement capacity permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue, during the period the approval is valid, a number of quoted Equity Securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( 10% Placement Facility ).

An eligible entity is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis). The Company is an eligible entity.

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.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue these classes of Equity Securities, namely, listed Shares, listed Contributing Shares and unlisted Options ((i) options to acquire Contributing Shares at $0.02 each on or before 21.12.2020, (ii) options to acquire Fully Paid Shares at $0.20 each on or before 15.1.2021, (iii) options to acquire Fully Paid Shares at $0.20 each on or before 16.1.2021, (iv) options to acquire Contributing Shares at $0.03 each on or before 21.12.2021).

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue quoted Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The maximum number of quoted Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue quoted Equity Securities without Shareholder approval available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing (or agreeing to issue) Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing

Explanatory Statement to Notice of Annual General Meeting 30 November 2020

Rule 7.1. Resolution 7 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). 7.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A and information required by Listing Rule 7.3A (a) 10% Placement Period If Shareholders approve Resolution 7, the Company’s ability to issue quoted Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following: (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting; (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; (iii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.1 or 11.2, (the 10% Placement Period ). (b) Minimum Issue Price The issue price of quoted Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be a cash consideration per Equity Security of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in the class were recorded immediately before: (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued. (c) Purpose of Funds Raised Funds raised from the issue of quoted Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility are intended to be used towards advancing existing assets and investments, the acquisition and development of new assets and investments, corporate and administration costs and working capital. (d) Economic and Voting Dilution Risk If Resolution 7 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are exercised). 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, which may have an effect on the amount of
funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares
and the current number of Shares 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% and the voting dilution impact
of such an increase. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue.
The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares 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 Shares 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 or Performance Rights (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This 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. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused by their own shareholding depending on the specific circumstances.

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issues 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 current issue price is $0.067 being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 20 October 2020.

  • (viii) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.

  • (e) Allocation Policy

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 recipients of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors set out in the Company’s allocation policy, including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

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

14 | P a g e

==> picture [44 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Explanatory Statement to Notice of Annual General Meeting 30 November 2020

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

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

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

(f) Use of 10% Placement Facility in prior 12 months

The Company obtained Shareholders approval for its 10% Placement Facility at its previous annual general meeting held on 29 November 2019.

During the 12 month period preceding the date of this Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2019, the Company has issued a total of 29,800,544 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, which represents 6.11% of the total number of the Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 29 November 2019, which was 488,000,150.

(g) In respect of the issues of Equity Securities over the last 12 months that were issued for cash, the fifth bullet point of Listing Rule 7.3A.6(b) requires the Company to disclose in this Notice “the total cash consideration, the amount of that cash that has been spent, what it was spent on, and what is the intended use for the remaining amount of that cash (if any)”. Whilst the total cash consideration received was mingled with the funds then on hand, on the basis of accounting for funds spent on a first in first out method, all of the funds raised have yet to be spent on continuing the Company exploration activities and on necessary corporate expenses.

(h) At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholder’s votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

7.3 Directors’ Recommendation

Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Statement, all of the Directors consider that Resolution 7 is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7. The Directors have formed this view as the passing of this Resolution will provide greater flexibility when considering future capital raising opportunities. The passing of Resolution 7 will increase the Directors’ ability to issue new Shares permitted by the Listing Rules without requiring Shareholder approval.

Resolution 7 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).

The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

RESOLUTION 8 – RE-ELECTION OF MR PETER THOMAS AS A DIRECTOR

TERMS AND CONDITIONS EMPLOYEE/SUBCONTRACTOR OPTIONS EXPIRING 21 DECEMBER 2021

  • The Options are issued on the following terms:

  • The exercise price of each Option will be three (3) cents ( Exercise Price ). 2. Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for partly paid ordinary share ( Share ) in EMU NL ACN 127 291 927 ( Employer ) upon the payment of the Exercise Price per Share subscribed for. The partly paid shares shall rank pari passu with the class of partly paid shares listed at the date of grant of the options.

  • Any of the Options that have not been exercised will lapse at the earlier of the following (the applicable time and date being the Expiry Date ): a. 5:00 pm on 21 December 2021; or b. One (1) month after the termination or expiry of employment or contractual arrangements.

  • The Options are transferable with leave of the Company’s board of directors. 5. There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders of the Options will not be entitled (as a consequence of holding Option) to participate in new issues of capital that may be offered to shareholders during the currency of the Options.

  • In the event of any re-organisation (including reconstruction, consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return of capital) of the issued capital of the Company, the Options will be re-organised as required by the Listing Rules, but in all other respects the terms of exercise will remain unchanged.
