Voting Exclusion Statement
For the definitions of Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) and Closely Related Parties, please refer to the Glossary on page 29.
The Corporations Act restricts members of the KMP of the Company and their Closely Related Parties from voting in relation to remuneration related Resolutions (such as Resolution 1).
In addition, separate voting restrictions apply in respect of Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 under the ASX Listing Rules.
What this means for Shareholders
If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP (other than the Chairman of the Meeting) as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on Resolution 1. If you do not do so, your proxy will not be able to vote on your behalf on Resolution 1.

If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy without directing him how to vote, the proxy form authorises him to vote as he decides on Resolution 1 (even though that Resolution is connected with the remuneration of KMP).

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
1. ANNUAL REPORT

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Annual Report. The Remuneration Report details the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.
S250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report be put to the vote of the Company. Shareholders should note that the vote on Resolution 3 is advisory only and not binding on the Company or its Directors.
However, under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 3 are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report then:
- If comments are made on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting, Nvoi’s 2016 Remuneration Report will be required to include an explanation of the Board’s proposed action response or, if no action is proposed, the Board’s reasons for this; and
9
- If, at next year’s AGM, at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution for adoption of the 2016 Remuneration Report are against it, Nvoi will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing that an Extraordinary General Meeting ( EGM ) be called to consider the election of Directors ( Spill Resolution ). If the Spill Resolution is passed (i.e. More than 50% of the votes cast are in favour of it), all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) will cease to hold office at the subsequent EGM, unless re-elected at that Meeting.
Last year, a resolution was passed to adopt the 2015 Remuneration Report, with in excess of 75% of votes cast in favour of the resolution.
In accordance with the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the Remuneration Report.
Board Recommendation: The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report, which was approved in accordance with a unanimous resolution of the Board. Each NonExecutive Director recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.

(e) Valuation
The Options that are the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 are not currently quoted on the ASX and as such have no market value. Each Option grants the holder a right to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of each Option and payment of the exercise price described above. Accordingly, the Options may have a present value at the date of their grant.
The Options may acquire future value dependent upon the extent to which the market value of Shares exceeds the exercise price of the Options during the term of the Options.
As a general proposition, options to subscribe for ordinary fully paid shares in a company have value. Various factors impact upon the value of options including, inter alia:
-
The period outstanding before the expiry date of the options;
-
The exercise price of the options relative to the underlying price or value of the securities into which they may be converted;
-
The proportion of the issued capital as expanded consequent upon exercise represented by the shares issued upon exercise (i.e. Whether or not the shares that might be acquired upon exercise of the options represent a controlling or other significant interest);
-
The value of the shares into which the options may be converted; and
-
Whether or not the options are listed (i.e. Readily capable of being liquidated).
There are various formulae which can be applied to determining the theoretical value of options (including the formula known as the Black and Scholes option valuation methodology “Black-Scholes Model”).
The Company has sought an independent valuation of the Options from Stantons International Securities ( SIS ). The method used to value the Options was the Black-Scholes Model, which is the most widely used and recognised model for pricing options. The value of an option calculated by the Black-Scholes Model is a function of the relationship between a number of variables, being the price of the underlying Share at the time of issue, the exercise price, the time to expiry, the risk-free interest rate, the volatility of the Company’s underlying Share price and expected dividends.
The data relied upon in the valuation applying the Black-Scholes Model was:
- Exercise price of the Options and indicate value as per the SIS Report, being:
| Number of | Exercise Price | Share Price | Expiry Date | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Options | (per option) | Vesting | ||
| Hurdle * | ||||
| Ms Jennifer | Maritz | |||
| Tranche 1: | 1,800,000 |
$0.10 | $0.30 | 5 years |
| Tranche 2: | 4,500,000 | $0.10 | $0.50 | 5 years |
| Tranche 3: | 2,700,000 | $0.10 | $0.70 | 5 years |
| Mr Mark Rowlands | ||||
| Tranche 1: | 1,600,000 |
$0.10 | $0.30 | 5 years |
| Tranche 2: | 4,000,000 | $0.10 | $0.50 | 5 years |
| Tranche 3: | 2,400,000 | $0.10 | $0.70 | 5 years |
*The share price vesting hurdle is deemed to be achieved when the 30 day VWAP of the Nvoi Share price exceeds the respective vesting hurdle share price.

-
Market price of Shares of $0.11, being the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 4 October 2016 valuation as a proxy for the market price at the future date of issue, being the date of the General Meeting to approve the issue;
-
Options vesting on the date of issue, assumed to be 30 November 2016;
-
Expiry Date of 30 November 2021;
-
Volatility measure of 75%;
-
Risk-free interest rate of 1.94%; and
-
Dividend yield of 0.00%.
Based on the assessed fair value of the Options in the SIS report, the Company has adopted an indicative total value of $110,250 for the Options proposed to be granted to Ms Jennifer Maritz and $98,000 for the Options proposed to be granted to Mr Mark Rowlands as calculated in that report.
The total assessed valuation of the Options that are the subject of Resolution 4 and 5 is $280,250.
(f) Any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors.
There is no other information known to the Company or any of the Directors save and except as follows:
(i) Opportunity Costs
The opportunity costs and benefits foregone by the Company issuing the Options to the directors or their nominees, is the potentially dilutionary impact on the issued Share capital of the Company (in the event that the Options are exercised). Until exercised, the issue of the Options will not impact upon the number of Shares on issue in the Company. To the extent that upon their exercise the dilutionary impact caused by the issue of the Shares will be detrimental to the Company, this is more than offset by the advantages accruing from the Company securing the services of experienced and skilled Directors on appropriate incentive terms. It is also considered that the potential increase of value in the Options is dependent upon a concomitant increase in the value of the Company generally.
(ii) Trading History of the Shares
As at 29 September 2016, the closing price of Shares on ASX was $0.11. Over the last 12 months, the 52 week high was $0.14 per share and the 52 low was $0.037 per share.
(iii) Taxation Consequences
No stamp duty will be payable in respect of the grant of the Options. No GST will be payable by the Company in respect of the grant of the Options (or if it is then it will be recoverable as an input credit).
AASB 2 “Share Based Payments” requires that these payments shall be measured at the more readily determinable fair value of the equity instrument. Under the accounting standards this amount will be expensed in the statement of financial performance. Where the grant date and the vesting date are different the total expenditure calculated will be allocated between the two dates taking into account the terms and conditions attached to the instruments and the counterparties as well as management’s assumptions about probabilities of payments and compliance with and attainment of the set out terms and conditions.
(iv) Dilutionary Effect
The dilutionary effect on the Company and its shareholders is summarised in the
17
table on page 20 below.
8. RESOLUTION 6 - APPROVAL OF 10% CAPACITY TO ISSUE EQUITY SECURITIES
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts listed companies in relation to the number of equity securities that they can issue or agree to issue without shareholder approval. Generally, a listed company cannot, in any 12 month period, issue a number of equity securities which is more than 15% of their fully paid ordinary shares on issue without shareholder approval ( 15% limit ), unless an exception applies. The Company has not exceeded this 15% limit.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of their issued capital through placements over a 12 month period after an annual general meeting. This 10% placement capacity ( 10% limit ) is in addition to the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
Shareholder Approval
Shareholder approval is now sought in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to give the Company the ability to issue equity securities under the 10% limit. Resolution 6 must be passed as a Special Resolution, meaning that at least 75 per cent of the votes cast at the AGM must be in favour of Resolution 6.
Current Securities on Issue
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has the following classes and numbers of equity securities on issue:
| Security Class | Number on Issue |
|---|---|
| Shares | 376,489,081 |
| Unlisted Options, exercise price $0.05, expiry date 30/11/2018 | 2,300,000 |
| Unlisted Options, exercise price $0.1042, expiry date 30/11/2017 | 2,213,334 |
| Unlisted Options, exercise price $0.13, expiry date 31/12/2018 | 16,314,450 |
Duration of approval of 10% limit
Shareholder approval of the 10% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) The date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) The date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX listing rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX listing rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( the period of approval ).
18
Formula for Calculation of 10% Limit
The exact number of equity securities to be issued under the 10% limit will be determined in accordance with the following formula, which is prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2:
Eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the period of approval, a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
Plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
Plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
Plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% limit without shareholder approval;
-
Less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% limit.
D Is 10%
- E Is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
ASX Listing Rule 7.3A requires the following information to be provided to Shareholders:
(a) Minimum Price
The issue price of equity securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of the Company’s equity securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the equity securities are not issued within five Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.
(b) Risk of Voting Dilution
If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% limit, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. 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 or the equity securities are issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,
19
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.
The below 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 ASX 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%. Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of Shares the Company currently 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 ASX 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 above table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% limit;
-
(ii) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of 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% limit, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting;
-
(v) The table shows only the effect of issue of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(vi) The issue of equity securities under the 10% limit consists only of Shares; and
-
(vii) The issue price is $0.11 being the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 29 September 2016.
20
(c) Period of Approval
The Company will only issue and allot the equity securities during the period of approval. The approval under Resolution 6 for the issue of the equity securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Limit
The Company may seek to issue the equity securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) Non-cash consideration for the acquisition of assets such as mineral exploration tenements, or a business or company holding mineral exploration tenements. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(ii) Cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities.
(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% limit. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case by case basis, having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) The purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) The alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the company at the time, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(iii) The effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the company;
-
(iv) The circumstances of the company, including the financial position and solvency of the company; and
-
(v) Advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if available).
The allottees under the 10% limit have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
(f) Voting Exclusion Statement
A voting exclusion applies to this item of business, as set out in the Notice.
At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or 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 this Notice.
(g) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company did not seek Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 30 November 2015.
21
During the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting, being from and including 29 October 2015 to and including 28 October 2016 ( preceding 12 month period ):
-
The Company has issued in aggregate the following equity securities:
-
(a) 303,119,745 Shares; and
-
(b) 20,827,784 unlisted Options.
-
Those equity securities issued during the preceding 12 month period represent, on a fully diluted basis, 441% of the total number of equity securities that were issued on the first day of the preceding 12 month period.
Further details of the equity securities issued during the preceding 12 month period are set out in Annexure 2.
Board Recommendation: The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of approving the 10% limit. This will enable the Company to have the flexibility to issue further equity securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and an additional 10% of the Company’s share capital under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during a 12 month period without seeking further Shareholder approval.
