How to vote
Shareholders can vote by either:
-
attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or
-
appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post, electronically via the internet or by facsimile.
Voting in person (or by attorney)
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded. To be effective a certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.
Voting by a Corporation
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.
Voting by proxy
-
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll or a show of hands and also to speak at the Meeting.
-
The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).
-
A proxy need not be a Shareholder.
-
The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
-
If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Company.
Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Memorandum. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Memorandum.
Financial Reports
The first item of the Notice deals with the presentation of the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, together with the Directors' declaration and report in relation to that financial year and the Auditor's Report on the financial report. Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.
No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the accounts and on the management of the Company.
The Chair will also give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor or the Auditor’s representative questions relevant to:
-
(a) the conduct of the audit;
-
(b) the preparation and content of the independent audit report;
-
(c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and
-
(d) the independence of the Auditor by the Company in relation to the conduct of the audit.
The Chair will also allow a reasonable opportunity for the Auditor or their representative to answer any written questions submitted to the Auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act.
1 Resolution 1 – Non Binding Resolution to adopt Remuneration Report
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2020 Annual Report be adopted. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website (https://odinmetals.com.au/).
The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second Annual General Meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the applicable Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.
11
The remuneration report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last general meeting held on 29 November 2019. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on this Resolution are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any equity based compensation.
The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
Voting
Note that a voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

4 Resolution 4 – Election of Mr Luis Azevedo as a Director

5 Resolutions 5 and 6 – Ratification of issue of Class A Options and Class B Options to consultants (or their nominees)
On 8 July 2020, the Company issued 3,000,000 Class A Options (each with an exercise price of $0.08 and an expiry date of 8 July 2022) and 3,000,000 Class B Options (each with an exercise price of $0.10 and an expiry date of 8 July 2022), for no cash consideration, to consultants (or their nominees) for investor relations and communications services to be provided to the Company ( Placement ).
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 Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date the Company issued the Class A Options and Class B Options pursuant to the Placement.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a 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.
The Company 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 therefore seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of Class A Options and Class B Options pursuant to the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If this Resolution is passed, the Class A Options and Class B Options pursuant to the Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date the Company issued the Class A Options and Class B Options pursuant to the Placement. In addition, the Class A Options and Class B Options issued pursuant to the Placement will not be included in calculating the Company’s 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under that rule.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Class A Options and Class B Options issued pursuant to the Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date the Company issued the Class A Options and Class B Options pursuant to the Placement. In addition, the Class A Options and Class B Options issued pursuant to the Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under that rule.
The following information in relation to the Class A Options and Class B Options the subject of the Placement is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
-
(a) the Class A Options and Class B Options were issued to 2428 PTY LTD, Gaks Investment Holdings Pty Ltd and Malahide Management Pty Ltd who are all unrelated parties of the Company;
-
(b) 3,000,000 Class A Options and 3,000,000 Class B Options were issued;
-
(c) the terms and conditions of the Class A Options and Class B Options are set out in Annexure A (in respect of the Class A Options) and Annexure B (in respect of the Class B Options);
14
-
(d) the Class A Options and Class B Options were issued on 8 July 2020;
-
(e) the Class A Options and Class B Options were issued for no cash consideration;
-
(f) the Class A Options and Class B Options were issued to remunerate consultants for investor relations and communications services to be provided to the Company; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion applies in respect of this Resolution as set out in the Notice of Meeting.
-
6 Resolution 7 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity
Background
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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate ).
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
The number of Equity Securities which may be issued pursuant to the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate
Based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice, the Company will have 259,719,335 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under this Resolution, 25,971,933 Equity Securities will be permitted to be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate is a moving calculation and will be based the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. That formula is:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement ( Relevant Period ):
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
- (i) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
15
-
(ii) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(iii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(b) plus the number of Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
(i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or
-
(ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(c) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;
-
(d) plus the number of party paid Shares that become fully paid in the Relevant Period;
-
(e) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the Relevant Period.
Note that ‘A’ is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement to issue has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
-
(a) If the Resolution is passed, the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate will be valid during the period from the date of the Annual General Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date on which the Company receives approval by Shareholders for a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) ( Approval Period ).
-
(b) The Equity Securities to be issued will be in an existing class of quoted securities and will be issued for cash consideration at an issue price per Equity Security of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities 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 ten Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(c) the Shares may be issued to fund:
16
-
(i) the Company’s exploration activities;
-
(ii) repayment of debt;
-
(iii) the acquisition of new assets (should suitable assets be found);
-
(iv) administration costs; and
-
(v) general working capital expenses.
-
(d) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is also 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 the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate was approved; 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.
The table below demonstrates the potential dilution of existing Shareholders in three differing scenarios.
| Variable ‘A’ (refer above for calculation) |
Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.0135 Issue Price at half the current market price |
$0.027 Issue Price at current market price |
$0.054 Issue Price at double the current market price |
||
| Current Variable ‘A’ 259,719,335 Shares |
Shares issued | 25,971,934 | 25,971,934 |

| Funds raised | 701,242 | 1,402,484 |
2,804,969 |
|
| Dilution | 10% | 10% | 10% |
Note : This table assumes:
-
No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, for the purposes of the above table, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purposes of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
17
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or ratified under Listing Rule 7.4.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to ratification under Listing Rule 7.4.
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.
-
(e) The identity of the persons to whom Shares will be issued is not yet known and will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to market conditions at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and the Company’s allocation policy, which involves consideration of matters including, but not limited to:
-
(i) the ability of the Company to raise funds at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and whether the raising of any funds under such placement could be carried out by means of an entitlement offer, or a placement and an entitlements offer;
-
(ii) the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of proposed issued of Equity Securities;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from its professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The persons to whom Shares will be issued under the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate have not been determined as at the date of this Notice, but will not include related parties (or their Associates) of the Company.
- (f) The Company has not previously issued or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting.
7 Resolutions 8 – 11 – Amendment of terms of 2024 Incentive Options
The Company has on issue a number of 2024 Incentive Options held by existing and previous employees, officers, Directors and consultants, the terms of which are outlined in the Company’s notice of meeting announced on 11 March 2020.
The Company is proposing to vary the terms of the 2024 Incentive Options to include a new term allowing the 2024 Incentive Options to be exercised where there is a change of control of the Company. The Company is seeking approval for the insertion of a term (n) into the terms of 2024 Incentive Options as follows ( Proposed Amendment ):
“(n) Notwithstanding any other terms and conditions, all options may be exercised:
-
(i) during a Bid Period;
-
(ii) at any time after a Change in Control or Sale of Major Asset event has occurred; and
(iii) on an application under section 411 of the Corporations Act if a court orders a meeting to be held concerning a proposed compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company.
In these terms and conditions:
18
“Bid Period” in relation to a takeover bid in respect to Shares in the Company, has the meaning given in section 9 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), provided that where a takeover bid is publicly announced prior to the service of a bidder’s statement on the Company in relation to that takeover bid, the Bid Period shall be deemed to have commenced at the time of that announcement.
“Change of Control” means a shareholder, or a group of associated shareholders:
-
(i) becoming entitled to sufficient Shares in the Company to give it or them the ability, in general meeting, to replace all or a majority of the Board; or,
-
(ii) gaining the ability to control more than 50% of the Voting Power (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) in the Company.
“Sale of Major Asset” means the disposal of assets of the Company or its subsidiaries representing in excess of 50% of the consolidated net assets of the Company.”
The 2024 Incentive Options were approved by Shareholders at the general meeting held on 9 April 2020.
Listing Rule 6.23.3
Shareholder approval is being sought to approve the amendment of the terms of the 2024 Incentive Options already on issue as at the date of the Notice.
Listing Rule 6.23.3 provides a change which has the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period for exercise or increasing the number of securities received on exercise cannot be made. The Company has applied for a waiver from Listing Rule 6.23.3 because the Proposed Amendments have would remove any remaining vesting conditions upon a change of control, thereby “increasing the period for exercise” (because the 2024 Incentive Options would become exercisable earlier than they otherwise would have).
If, before the date of the Meeting ASX indicates it will not grant the waiver, Resolutions 8 – 11 will not be put to the Meeting.
The rationale for the issue of the 2024 Incentive Options was:
-
(a) the vesting conditions of the 2024 Incentive Options were linked to an increase in Share price, thereby incentivising the recipient employees, officers, Directors and consultants to deliver growth and projects to Shareholders; and
-
(b) the Company had other preferred uses for its available cash and the issue of 2024 Incentive Options was an appropriate alternative for providing incentives to the recipient employees, officers, Directors and consultants.
The Company considers the Proposed Amendment will further incentivise the recipient employees, officers, Directors and consultants to work towards a control transaction that is value accretive for Shareholders.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not aware of any potential control transaction concerning it.
The Company’s Incentive Option Plan (approved by Shareholders at the 2019 Annual General Meeting held on 29 November 2019) ( Plan ) gives the Board discretion to waive the vesting conditions of Options issued under the Plan in certain circumstances, including where there is a “change of
19
control” (as defined in the Plan)[1] . The Proposed Amendment, if approved, will align the 2024 Incentive Options closer to the terms and conditions of any Options issued under the Plan.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act:
-
(a) Mr Mottram is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and holds 10,000,000 2024 Incentive Options;
-
(b) Mr Azevedo is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and holds 5,500,000 2024 Incentive Options;
-
(c) Mr Bontempo is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and holds 6,000,000 2024 Incentive Options; and
-
(d) Mr Aaron Bertolatti is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director in the last 6 months and holds 500,000 2024 Incentive Options.
Resolutions 8 – 11 relate to a proposed change of terms to the 2024 Incentive Options issued to each of Mr Mottram, Mr Azevedo, Mr Bontempo (or his nominee) and Mr Bertolatti, which is a financial benefit that requires Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
Under section 208 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; 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.
Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act on the basis that the benefit is considered by the Board (in the absence of Mr Mottram, Mr Azevedo and Mr Bontempo regarding each of their respective Resolutions) to constitute reasonable remuneration, and therefore, the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. Section 211 provides that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 in circumstances where the
1 A “change of control” as defined in the Plan means: (a) a bona fide Takeover Bid (as defined in the Corporations Act) is declared unconditional and the bidder has acquired a relevant interest in at least 50.1% of the Company’s issued Shares; (b)a court approves, under Section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act, a proposed compromise or arrangement for the purposes of, or in connection with, a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies; or (c) in any other case, a person obtains Voting Power (as defined in the Corporations Act) in the Company which the Board (which for the avoidance of doubt will comprise those Directors immediately prior to the person acquiring that Voting Power) determines, acting in good faith and in accordance with their fiduciary duties, is sufficient to control the composition of the Board.
20
benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the Company’s and the related party’s circumstances.
Having considered the Company’s circumstances and Mr Mottram’s, Mr Azevedo’s and Mr Bontempo’s positions (and future positions) with the Company, the Board considers (in the absence of Mr Mottram, Mr Azevedo and Mr Bontempo regarding each of their respective Resolutions) that the financial benefits conferred by the issue of 2024 Incentive Options, including with the proposed term the subject of Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 to Mr Mottram, Mr Azevedo and Mr Bontempo are reasonable given:
-
(a) the vesting conditions are linked to an increase in Share price, thereby incentivising each of Mr Mottram, Mr Azevedo and Mr Bontempo to deliver growth and projects to Shareholders; and
-
(b) the Company has other preferred uses for its available cash and the issue of 2024 Incentive Options is an appropriate alternative for providing incentives to each of Mr Mottram, Mr Azevedo and Mr Bontempo,
and therefore the exception in section 211 apply (as appropriate).
Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act
Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a directors’ meeting from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
The Directors do not have a material personal interest in the Resolutions for the amendment of terms of 2024 Incentive Options other than, in respect of each of them, the Resolution for the amendment to the terms of the 2024 Incentive Options in respect of those 2024 Incentive Options held by himself. However, given that it is proposed that terms of 2024 Incentive Options held by all current Directors are amended, pursuant to Resolutions 9, 10 and 11, they may be considered to have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9, 10 and 11, in which case the Directors would be unable to form a quorum. Accordingly, the Board considers it prudent to exercise their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, and put the matter to Shareholders to resolve.
Directors’ recommendation
Mr Mottram declines to make a recommendation about Resolution 9 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 9 as it relates to the proposed amendment of terms of the 2024 Incentive Options issued to him. Mr Azevedo and Mr Bontempo also decline to make a recommendation about Resolution 9. ASIC Regulatory Guide 76: Related Party Transactions notes at paragraph 76.103 that it is good practice for directors to avoid making a recommendation for resolutions about each other’s remuneration as there may be a conflict of interest. Whilst Mr Azevedo and Mr Bontempo do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 9, given it is proposed the terms of the 2024 Incentive Options issued to each of them be amended under Resolutions 10 and 11 respectively, they have declined to make a recommendation about Resolution 9 in line with the ASIC guidance.
Mr Azevedo declines to make a recommendation about Resolution 10 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 10 as it relates to the proposed amendment of terms of the 2024 Incentive Options issued to him. Mr Mottram and Mr Bontempo also decline to make a recommendation about Resolution 9. ASIC Regulatory Guide 76: Related Party Transactions notes at paragraph 76.103 that it is good practice for directors to avoid making a recommendation for resolutions about each other’s remuneration as there may be a conflict of interest. Whilst Mr Mottram and Mr Bontempo do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 10, given it is proposed the terms of the 2024 Incentive Options issued to each of them be amended under
21
Resolutions 9 and 11 respectively, they have declined to make a recommendation about Resolution 10 in line with the ASIC guidance.
Mr Bontempo declines to make a recommendation about Resolution 11 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 11 as it relates to the proposed amendment of terms of the 2024 Incentive Options issued to him. Mr Mottram and Mr Azevedo also decline to make a recommendation about Resolution 11. ASIC Regulatory Guide 76: Related Party Transactions notes at paragraph 76.103 that it is good practice for directors to avoid making a recommendation for resolutions about each other’s remuneration as there may be a conflict of interest. Whilst Mr Mottram and Mr Azevedo do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 11, given it is proposed the terms of the 2024 Incentive Options issued to each of them be amended under Resolutions 9 and 10 respectively, they have declined to make a recommendation about Resolution 11 in line with the ASIC guidance.
8 Resolution 12 – Proposed issue of Shares
The Company is proposing to issue up to 38,957,900 Shares ( Future Shares ) in connection with any future acquisitions, being direct or indirect interests in gold and / or base metal companies or projects in line with the Company’s current growth strategy, by the Company ( Future Acquisitions ), including:
-
(a) to undertake a capital raising during the three months after the approval of this Resolution to fund Future Acquisitions; or
-
(b) as consideration to third party vendors or for services provided by third parties in relation to any such acquisitions, in order to conserve the Company’s existing cash reserves.
The persons who will participate have not yet been determined but participants will be professional and sophisticated investors who are unrelated parties of the Company.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without the approval of its Shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the Shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of Future Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2. While the proposed issue of Shares does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the proposed issue of Future Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval as set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval to the proposed issue of securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is passed:
-
the issue of Future Shares can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1;
-
the Company will issue up to 38,957,900 Shares to professional and sophisticated investors who are unrelated parties of the Company, third party vendors or service providers in relation to Future Acquisitions; and
-
the total number of Shares on issue will increase from 259,719,335 to 298,677,235, being 15%, and the existing Shareholders holdings will be diluted by 10.76% on a fully diluted basis.[2]
2 Assuming no other Equity Securities are issued by the Company.
22
If this Resolution is not passed, the proposed issue of Shares pursuant to Future Acquisitions can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue.
The following information in relation to the Shares to be issued is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
-
the Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are unrelated parties of the Company, third party vendors or service providers in relation to Future Acquisitions;
-
the Company will issue up to 38,957,900 Shares;
-
the Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue;
-
the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
the issue price for the Shares will not be less than 80% of the volume weighted average price for Shares calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Shares are recorded before the day on which the issue is made;
-
the purpose of the proposed issue of Shares is to conserve the Company’s cash reserves by issuing the Shares as consideration to professional and sophisticated investors who are unrelated parties of the Company, third party vendors or for services provided by third parties in relation to any such acquisitions; and
-
a voting exclusion applies in respect of this Resolution as set out in the Notice of Meeting.
