  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (ie as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

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. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RELATED PARTIES PARITIPATION IN THE SHORTFALL - CRAIG MCGUCKIN AND PETER YOUD.

1.1 General

As announced on 6 March 2014 the Company is proposing a pro rata entitlement issue of four (4) Shares for every five (5) Shares held by Shareholders at the record date to raise up to approximately $1,485,000 to be undertaken by the Company through a prospectus ( Entitlement Issue ). The issue will be Underwritten by CPS Capital ( Underwriter ).

Any entitlements not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Issue will form the shortfall ( Shortfall ). The Directors reserve the right to issue Shares under the Shortfall at their discretion in consultation with the Underwriter having consideration of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement ( Shortfall Placement ). The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Placement shall be $0.025 being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Entitlement Issue.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval for Messrs McGuckin and Youd (or their nominees) to participate in the Shortfall and subscribe for up to 4,000,000 Shares each in the Shortfall ( Shortfall Participation ).

This will be inclusive of Mr McGuckin and Mr Youd’s respective entitlements under the Entitlement Issue. The actual amounts to be subscribed by Mr McGuckin and Mr Youd will be finalised at the Directors’ discretion (other than Mr McGuckin) in consultation with the Underwriter having consideration of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt these Shares proposed to be issued to the Mr McGuckin and Mr Youd pursuant to Resolutions 1 and 2 will form part of, and are not additional to, the Shares issued under the Entitlement Issue and any Shortfall Placement.

1.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Shortfall Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr McGuckin is a related party of the Company by virtue

10

3740-02/1103061_3

of being Directors and Mr Youd is a related party by virtue of being a Director of the Company in the past 6 months.

With respect to Resolution 1, the Directors (other than Mr Craig McGuckin, who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Shortfall Participation because the Shares will be issued to Mr Craig McGuckin on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Shortfall and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

With respect to Resolution 2, the Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Shortfall Participation because the Shares will be issued to Mr Peter Youd on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Shortfall Placement and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

1.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the issue of Shares to the Mr McGuckin and Mr Youd under the Shortfall Placement involves the issue of Shares to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

1.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Participation:

  • (a) the Shares and New Options will be issued to Mr Crag McGuckin and Mr Peter Youd (or their nominee);

  • (b) a maximum of 8,000,000 Shares will be issued as follows:

  • (i) up to 4,000,000 Shares to Mr McGuckin (or his nominee); and

  • (ii) up to 4,000,000 Shares to Mr Youd (or his nominee);

  • (c) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued for $0.025, being the same as all other Shares issued under the both the Entitlement Issue and the Shortfall Placement;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

11

3740-02/1103061_3

  • (f) the funds to be raised from the Shortfall Participation will go towards the purpose of the Entitlement Issue being exploration on the Sri Lankan graphite projects, including capital equipment acquisitions, drilling and assay work, EM survey and geophysical interpretations and metallurgical studies activities, expenses of the Entitlement Issue and working capital.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Shortfall Participation as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares and Options to the Related Parties (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

2. RESOLUTION 3 – UNDERWRITER PLACEMENT – SHARES AND OPTIONS

2.1 General

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 12,500,000 Shares, together with one (1) free attaching New Option for every one (1) Share issued, in consideration for services provided by CPS Capital ( Underwriter Placement ).

The purpose of this Resolution is to issue Shares and New Options to CPS Capital in relation to the corporate advisory, underwriter and lead manager services provided by CPS Capital in relation to the proposed Entitlement Issue as announced on 6 March 2014. It is anticipated that the majority of these Shares and New Options will be distributed to clients of CPS Capital many of whom are sub-underwriters to the Entitlement Issue or who have otherwise agreed to assist with the completion of the Entitlement Issue.

The distribution to CPS Capital’s client base will have no impact on the control of the Company as it will not result in any person increasing their voting power in the Company in excess of 19.9%.

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.

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares and New Options pursuant to the Underwriter Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 12,500,000 and the maximum number of New Options to be issued is 12,500,000 as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a 1:1 basis;

  • (b) the Shares and New Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares and New Options will occur on the same date;

12

3740-02/1103061_3

  • (c) the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration in satsifaction of the underwriting and lead manger servcies provided by CPS Capital;

  • (d) the issue price of the New Options will be nil as they will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a 1:1 basis;

  • (e) the Shares and New Options will be issued to CPS Capital (and/or its nominees, including clients). The Company confirms that apart from Messrs McGuckin, Youd, Reilly and Geldard (whose proposed participation in the Underwriter Placement is the subject of Resolutions 8 -12), none of the receivers will be related parties of the Company;

  • (f) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (g) the New Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1; and

  • (h) no funds will be raised from the Underwriter Placement as the Shares and New Options are being issued in consideration for the services provided by CPS Capital.

4. RESOLUTIONS 8 TO 12 – ISSUE OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS TO CRAIG MCGUCKIN, PETER YOUD, PETER REILLY, DENIS GELDARD AND PETER HEPBURN-BROWN

4.1 General

As approved by Shareholders on 10 December 2012, the Company has adopted an employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Share Option Plan” ( Employee Option Plan ). The terms of the Employee Option Plan as summarised in Schedule 2.

It is proposed that, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 13,000,000 Director Options to Messrs McGuckin, Youd, Reilly, Geldard and Hepburn-Brown ( Related Parties ) under the Employee Option Plan as an incentive to further motivate and reward their performances with the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below.

Under the Employee Option Plan rules, the Board in its absolute discretion may from time-to-time determine that eligible persons (which includes directors and employees) be invited to participate in the Employee Option Plan.

The Employee Option Plan has been used as part of the remuneration planning for executive Directors and employees. The Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations recommend that executive remuneration packages involve a balance between fixed and incentive pay reflecting short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and goals.

The Company considers that the issue of the Director Options is an appropriate method to:

  • (a) reward Directors and employees for their past performance;

  • (b) provide long term incentives for participation in the Company’s future growth;

  • (c) motivate Directors and generate loyalty from senior employees; and

  • (d) assist to retain the services of valuable Directors and employees.

Pursuant to Resolutions 10, 11 and 12 Director Options will be issued to nonexecutive Directors being Messrs Reilly, Geldard and Hepburn-Brown. Although this is not in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations, the Company considers that it is appropriate for non-executive Directors to participate in the Plan given the size of the Company.

The terms and Conditions of the Director Options are the same as the New Options proposed to be issued in accordance with Resolution 2 and are contained in Schedule 1 of this Notice.

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

16

3740-02/1103061_3

Company by virtue of being Directors and Mr Youd is a related party by virtue of being a Director of the Company in the past 6 months.

With respect to Resolution 8, the Directors (other than Mr Craig McGuckin, who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Director Options to be issued to Mr Craig McGuckin because the reasonable remuneration exception in Section 211 of the Corporations Act applies.

With respect to Resolution 9, the Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Director Options to be issued to Mr Peter Youd because the reasonable remuneration exception in Section 211 of the Corporations Act applies.

With respect to Resolution 11, the Directors (other than Mr Denis Geldard, who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Director Options to be issued to Mr Denis Geldard because the reasonable remuneration exception in Section 211 of the Corporations Act applies.

With respect to Resolution 12, the Directors (other than Mr Peter Hepburn-Brown, who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Director Options to be issued to Mr Denis Geldard because the reasonable remuneration exception in Section 211 of the Corporations Act applies.

4.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.14

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If Resolutions 8-12 are passed, Director Options will be issued to the Related Parties, Directors or past Directors of the Company within the past 6 months. Therefore, the Company requires Shareholder approval to issue the Director Options to the Related Parties.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Performance Rights as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and Exception 9(b) of ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ‘APPOINTMENT OF PROXY’ FORM

APPOINTING A PROXY

A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. The appointed proxy may be an individual or body corporate.

If a Body Corporate is appointed to act as your proxy then a representative of that Body Corporate must be appointed to act as its representative. When attending the meeting, the representative must bring a formal notice of appointment as per section 250D of the Corporations Act. Such notice must be signed as required by section 127 of the Corporations Act or the Body Corporate’s Constitution.

If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll.

The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

Note: If you wish to appoint a second proxy, you may copy this form but you must return both forms together.

VOTING ON BUSINESS OF MEETING

A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business.

Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws.

Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Individual : Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • Joint holding : Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • Power of attorney : If you have not already lodged the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • Companies : Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

ATTENDING THE MEETING

Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

LODGEMENT OF VOTES

To be effective, a validly appointed proxy must be received by the Company not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.

Proxy appointments can be lodged by:

  • a) Post - to MRL Corporation Limited, Suites 6 & 7, 61 Hampden Road, Nedlands, WA 6009; or b) Facsimile - to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 1300 855 044; or

  • c) Email - to the Company at [email protected].

Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid
