Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. Annual Report

Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report at the Meeting. The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Annual Report is available on its website at www.finresources.com.au.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report. However, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions or make comments about the Annual Report and the management of the Company. Shareholders will also be given an opportunity to ask the auditor questions as permitted by the Corporations Act.

2. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

2.1

General

The Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive and nonexecutive directors.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its directors. However, the Board will actively consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company’s future remuneration policies and practices.

2.2

Voting consequences

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 votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company 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 re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

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

3. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr. Justin Tremain

3.1 General

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Mr. Tremain, who has served as a director since 14 May 2018 and was last re-elected on 13 April 2018, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Justin Tremain graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. Mr. Tremain cofounded ASX listed Renaissance Minerals Limited in June 2010 and served as Managing Director until its takeover by ASX Emerald Resources NL in November 2016. Prior to founding Renaissance Minerals Limited, he had over 10 years’ investment banking experience in the natural resources sector. He has held positions with Investec, NM Rothschild & Sons and Macquarie Bank and has extensive experience in the funding of natural resource projects in the junior to mid-tier resource sector.

Mr. Tremain is the Managing Director of ASX listed Exore Resources Limited (ASX:ERX), a Non-Executive Director of Odin Metals Limited (ASX:ODM) and Carnaby Resources Limited (ASX:CNB).

3.3 Independence

If elected the Board considers Mr. Tremain will be an independent director.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board (other than Mr. Tremain abstaining because of his interest in this Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution.

4. Resolution 3 – Ratification of prior issue of Lead Manager Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

4.1 General

On 6 December 2018, the Company issued 8,000,000 quoted Options (exercisable at $0.025 expiring on or before 31 December 2021) ( Lead Manager Options ) as consideration for Max Capital Pty Ltd acting as lead manager to the Company’s non-renounceable entitlement issue of Options, as set out in its prospectus released to ASX on 9 November 2018 ( Entitlement Offer ).

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Lead Manager Options.

4.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the issue, the subject of Resolution 3, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

6

4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) 8,000,000 Lead Manager Options were issued;

  • (a) the Lead Manager Options were issued for 0.001 per Lead Manager Option;

  • (b) the Lead Manager Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (c) 8,000,000 Lead Manager Options were issued to Max Capital Pty Ltd (or its nominee/s), who is not a related party of the Company; and

  • (d) the funds raised from the issue will be used toward the costs of the Entitlement Offer and exploration and other geological expenditure on the company’s projects.

5. Resolution 4 – Amendments to the Constitution

5.1 General

Resolution 4 is a special resolution proposing amendments to the Constitution in the manner set out below. A special resolution is one of which notice must be given in accordance with section 249L(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (which requires the setting out of the intention to propose a special resolution, and a statement of the resolution) and which has to be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

5.2 Reason for the proposed amendments

ASX is proposing a number of rule changes to make aspects of the listing process and ongoing compliance with the listing rules more efficient for issuers and for ASX.

ASX is proposing to introduce a two-tier escrow regime where ASX can (and will) require certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form of Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings, ASX will instead permit entities to rely on a provision in their constitution imposing appropriate escrow restrictions on the holder of restricted securities and to simply give a notice to the holder of restricted securities in the form of a new Appendix 9C advising them of those restrictions.

Once the new listing rules come into effect, which is expected on 1 December 2019, a company cannot issue restricted securities unless the constitution is amended to include the wording below. Given the Company is already admitted to the official list of ASX, the circumstances in which the Company may issue restricted securities is limited, and would most likely relate to transactions requiring approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 or if the Company was required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules because of the application of ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3 (i.e. a significant change to the Company’s nature or scale of activities).

5.3 Proposed amendments to the Constitution

It is proposed that clause 2.12 of the Constitution be amended to read as follows:

2.12 Restricted Securities

The Company shall comply in all respects with the requirements of the Listing Rules with respect to Restricted Securities. Without limiting the generality of the above:

  • (a) a holder of Restricted Securities must not dispose of, or agree or offer to dispose of, the securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX;

7

  • (b) if the Restricted Securities are in the same class as quoted securities, the holder will be taken to have agreed in writing that the Restricted Securities are to be kept on the Company’s issuer sponsored subregister and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the escrow period applicable to those securities.

  • (c) the Company will refuse to acknowledge any disposal (including, without limitation, to registering any transfer), assignment or transfer of Restricted Securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;

  • (d) a holder of Restricted Securities will not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX; and

  • (e) if a holder of Restricted Securities breaches a restriction deed or a provision of this Constitution restricting a disposal of those securities, the holder will not be entitled to any dividend or distribution, or to exercise any voting rights, in respect of those securities for so long as the breach continues.

To assist Shareholders, a mark-up version of the Constitution showing the proposed amendments will be available on the Company’s website at: www.finresources.com.au. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

5.4

Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve the amendments to the Constitution and vote in favour of this Resolution.

6. Resolution 5 – Approval of 10% Additional Placement Capacity

6.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an “eligible entity” may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities equal to 10% of its issued capital at the time of issue calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 ( Additional Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and without requiring further shareholder approval prior to the issue.

The Board considers it is in the Company’s best interests to have the opportunity to take advantage of the flexibility to issue additional securities provided under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice, no decision has been made by the Board to undertake any issue of securities under the Additional Placement Capacity if Shareholders approve Resolution 5. The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

The information below provides more background on ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and the disclosure required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.

6.2 Description of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Eligible entity

Under the ASX Listing Rules, an "eligible entity" is an entity which, as at the date of the relevant resolution, is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index and has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) equal to or less than $300 million. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an “eligibly entity” as it is not included in the S&P 300 Index and has a current market capitalization of approximately $4,375,372 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on ASX on 16 September 2019).

8

(b) Special resolution

The Additional Placement Capacity requires shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting. This requires at least 75% of the votes to be cast in favour of the resolution by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

(c)

Securities which may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity

Under the Additional Placement Capacity, the Company must issue Equity Securities belonging to an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue two classes of quoted Equity Securities, being fully paid ordinary shares (ASX Code: FIN) and quoted Options (ASX: FINOA).

(d)

Minimum issue price

The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the Additional Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades of securities in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the issue price is agreed for the securities under the Additional Placement Capacity; or

  • (ii) if the securities are not issued under the Additional Placement Capacity within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the securities are issued.

The Company will disclose this information when Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Placement Capacity.

(e) Time period for issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity during the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; or

  • (ii) if the Company receives Shareholder approval for a proposed transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), the date of that approval, after which date, an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will cease to be valid,

( Additional Placement Period ).

(f)

Dilution risks

If Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Placement Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders, including the following risks:

  • (i) the market price for Equity Securities in the class of securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (that is, the date of the Meeting, if Resolution 5 is approved); and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date,

9

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 market price of Shares and the number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, both as at 16 September 2019.

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 16 September 2019. 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 entitlement offer or securities issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future general meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against market price as at 16 September 2019.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 396,922,353 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 16 September 2019.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity. 4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  4. The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity consists only of Shares and the consideration provided for those Shares is cash. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  5. 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.

  6. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  7. 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%.

10

(g) Purpose of issue under Additional Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) to provide non-cash consideration for new asset purchases or investments; or

  • (ii) to raise cash to fund:

  • (A) general working capital expenses;

  • (B) exploration activities associated with its current projects;

  • (C) repayment of debt; or

  • (D) the acquisition of new assets and investments (including any expenses associated with such an acquisition).

The Company will comply with the disclosure ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A on issue of any Equity Securities issued pursuant to the approval sought by Resolution 5. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will at the time of issue of the Equity Securities provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the securities is at or above the minimum issue price, in accordance with the Note to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3. The Company intends to maintain the ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for non-cash consideration.

(h) Allocation policy under Additional Placement Capacity

The Company's allocation policy and the identity of the recipients of Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of issue and in the Company's discretion.

No decision has been made in relation to an issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity, including whether the Company will engage with new investors or existing Shareholders, and if so the identities of any such persons.

However, when determining of the allocation policy and the identity of the recipients, the Company will have regard to the following considerations:

  • (i) prevailing market conditions;

  • (ii) the purpose for the issue of the Equity Securities;

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

  • (iv) impacts of the placement on control;

  • (v) other methods of raising capital; and

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

Recipients may include existing Shareholders or new investors, but not persons who are related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. If the issue is made in connection with the acquisition of assets, the recipients may be the sellers of those assets.

(i) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 19 November 2018 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 8 November 2018, the Company otherwise issued a total of 105,230,915 quoted Options which represents approximately 36% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 8 November 2018, which was 291,691,438.

11

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 2.

6.3 Description of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

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 of 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 the Notice.
