EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS
1. ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY SHAREHOLDERS
This Explanatory Statement sets out information about the Resolutions to be considered by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Defined terms used in this Explanatory Statement are set out in Section 9. Accompanying this Explanatory Statement is the Notice of Annual General Meeting convening the Annual General Meeting and a Proxy Form.
Shareholders are encouraged to attend and vote on the Resolutions to be put to the Annual General Meeting. If a Shareholder is not able to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, the Shareholder may complete the Proxy Form and return it not later than 48 hours before the time specified for the commencement of the Annual General Meeting.
2. ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS
The Corporations Act requires the Company’s financial statements and reports of the Directors and of the auditor for the year ended 30 June 2016 to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. The financial statements and the reports of the Directors and of the auditor are contained in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.enterprisemetals.com.au.
Whilst no Resolution is required in relation to this item, Shareholders should consider the documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.
A representative from the Company’s auditors will be invited to the meeting and Shareholders will have an opportunity to ask the auditor questions in relation to the conduct of the audit, the auditor’s report, the Company’s accounting policies and the independence of the auditor.
3. RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report is required to be considered for adoption in accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act. 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.
A reasonable opportunity will be given for the discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders should note that the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors.
If at least 25% of the votes cast on the Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2017 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 the extraordinary general meeting (“Spill Meeting”) within 90 days of the Company's 2017 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2017 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 re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
The Company’s Shareholders have approved the Remuneration Report at each previous annual general meeting.
A Spill Resolution will not be required at this Annual General Meeting as the votes against the Remuneration Report at the Company’s 2015 annual general meeting were less than 25%.
The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on

Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.

6. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF SHARE PLACEMENT
On 21 April 2016, the Company issued a total of 6,389,889 Shares at an issue price of $0.018 per Share. 6,389,889 Shares were issued pursuant to a private placement to professional and sophisticated investors,
NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
- 6 -
including the Company’s largest shareholder SinoTech as announced to ASX on 21 July 2016 raising approximately $115,000 (before costs).
The Company issued these Shares under its available placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the 6,389,889 Shares issued on 21 April 2016 pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
Under Chapter 7 of the Listing Rules there are limitations on the capacity of a company to enlarge its capital by the issue of equity securities without shareholder approval. Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, including securities with rights of conversion to equity (such as Options), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides however that an issue under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval if each of the following applies:
-
the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
Shareholders subsequently approve it.
This placement of Shares was within the Company’s 15% limit and subsequent approval under Listing Rule 7.4 is now being sought in order to reinstate the 15% limit.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5 the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
Number of Shares Issued : 6,389,889 Shares. Issue Price : $0.018 per Share.
Terms : The Shares rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue.
Allottees : 6,389,889 Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors, including the Company’s major shareholder SinoTech.
Use of Funds : The funds raised from the placement are being used to progress copper-gold exploration at the Company’s Doolgunna project.
Date of Issue : 21 April 2016.
Voting Exclusion : An appropriate voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
The Directors recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
7. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6: APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES IN LIEU OF OUTSTANDING DIRECTORS’ FEES TO DR JINGBIN WANG AND DR ALLAN TRENCH
7.1 Background
Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 for issue of Shares to Enterprise Directors Dr Wang and Dr Trench (or their nominees). This issue of Shares provides a means by which the Company can satisfy 50% of the outstanding Directors’ fees for the period 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 owed to Dr Wang (up to the date of his resignation on 12 October 2016) and Dr Trench thereby preserving the Company’s cash resources for application in other areas.
7.2 Details of Shares to be issued
It is proposed under Resolutions 5 and 6 that Shares be issued to Dr Wang and Dr Trench (or their nominees) in lieu of outstanding Directors’ fees as set out in the table below. The number of Shares proposed to be issued is such number of Shares which equates to the Directors Fees Outstanding divided by either:
-
(a) a deemed issue price per Share representing the five day volume weighted average market price (VWAP) for the Company’s Shares calculated over the five trading days on which trades in the Company’s Shares occurred immediately before the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting or
-
(b) a deemed issue price equal to the closing share price immediately prior to the date of issue of the Shares,
whichever is the lower deemed issue price.
NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
- 7 -
This issue of Shares will satisfy 50% of the Directors’ fees owed to Dr Wang and Dr Trench for the period 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 (in the case of Dr Wang up to the date of his resignation on 11 October 2016). The remaining 50% has already been paid/will be paid to these Directors in cash.
| Name | Director Fees Outstanding |
5 day VWAP deemed **Issue Price per Share1 ** |
Maximum Number of Shares to be Issued based on 5 day VWAP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jingbin Wang | $21,880 | 1.7 cents | 1,287,058 |
| Allan Trench | $21,749 | 1.7 cents | 1,279,352 |
1 The deemed issue price is equal to the five day VWAP for the Company’s Shares calculated over the five trading days on which trades in the Company’s Shares occurred immediately before the date of this Notice of General Meeting (this will be recalculated at the date of the issue of the securities).
7.3 Reason approval required
Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11 because the current Directors Dr Wang (who resigned from the board on 11 October 2016) and Dr Trench are all Related Parties of the Company.
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue equity securities to a Related Party without the approval of shareholders. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, where approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is obtained, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of securities will not be included in the Company’s 15% limit.
7.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 and 6:
Maximum Number of Shares to be Issued : A maximum number of Shares proposed to be issued, comprising the following:
- (a) Shares to be issued to Dr Wang (or nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5 (refer above table); and
(b) Shares to be issued to Dr Trench (or nominee) pursuant to Resolution 6 (refer above table). Issue Price : The Shares will be issued for a deemed issue price which is the lower of the amount per Share being the five VWAP for the Company’s Shares calculated over the five trading days on which trades in the Company’s Shares occurred immediately before the date of this Notice of General Meeting, and, the closing share price immediately prior to the date of issue of the Shares.
Relationship with the Company : The Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolutions 5 and 6 are to be issued to Dr Wang and Dr Trench (or their respective nominees), each of whom are Directors of the Company.
Terms: The Shares to be issued will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue. The Company will apply to ASX for official quotation of the Shares.
Intended Use of Funds : The Shares are being issued at a deemed issue price to be calculated per Share in lieu of 50% of Dr Wang’s and Dr Trench’s Directors’ fees for the period 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 amounting to $21,880 for Dr Wang (up to the date of his resignation on 12 October 2016) and $21,749 for Dr Trench and consequently no funds will be raised by the issue. The issue of Shares provides a means by which the Company can satisfy 50% of Dr Wang’s and Dr Trench’s Directors’ fees for the period 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 (or 12 October 2016 in the case of Dr Wang) whilst preserving the Company’s cash resources for application in other areas.
Date of Issue : The issue of Shares under Resolutions 5 and 6 will occur no later than 1 month after approval of the Resolution or such later date to the extent permitted by an ASX waiver of the Listing Rules. Voting Exclusion : An appropriate voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 5 and 6 is included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Other than the information above and otherwise in this Explanatory Statement, the Company believes that there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to consider Resolutions 5 and 6.
Given Dr Wang and Dr Trench, Related Parties of the Company, have an interest in Resolutions 5 and 6, they believe it inappropriate to make a recommendation on the Resolutions. Managing Director, Dermot Ryan, and Dr He recommends shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 5 and 6.
