Resolution 4 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Facility

4.1 General

The Company seeks Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period following shareholder approval ( Additional 10% Placement Facility ).

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 2.5(a) below). The issue price is yet to be determined, but will be no less than 75% of the price of the Equity Securities at the time of any issue.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders.

4.2 Directors’ recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. This will allow the Company to issue securities and raise funds whilst preserving the Company’s 15% annual limit permitted by Listing Rule 7.1.

GENESIS MINERALS LIMITED Notice of Annual General Meeting - 27 November 2012

4.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period following shareholder approval by way of a special resolution. The Additional 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalization of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

  • (a) Maximum number of Equity Securities which may be issued

The number of Equity Securities which may be issued, or agreed to be issued, under the Additional 10% Placement Facility is prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and is calculated as follows:

Number of Equity Securities = (A x D) - E

  • “A” the number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that become fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

  • “D”

  • is 10%

  • “E” is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

The actual number of Equity Securities that may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A is calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the above formula.

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1

As the date of this Notice, the Company has 121,783,379 Shares on issue and, if Resolution 4 is passed, has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 18,267507 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 12,178,338 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company also has 53,081,788 Options on issue, which, if exercised prior to any Shares being issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, may increase the number of Shares that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility.

(b) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded 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 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • 8 -

GENESIS MINERALS LIMITED Notice of Annual General Meeting - 27 November 2012

4.4 Specific information by Listing Rule 7.3A

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided about the proposed issue:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded 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 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,

or such longer period as ASX may allow.

  • (b) There is a risk of economic and voting dilution to existing Shareholders in approving the Additional 10% Placement Facility, including the risks that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower of the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than when Shareholders approval the Additional 10% Placement Facility; 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 issued for non-cash consideration for the acquisition of a new asset.

Following is a table that sets out the potential dilution of existing Shareholders if Equity Securities are issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility:

Variable “A” in Listing Rule 7.1A Variable “A” in Listing Rule 7.1A Dilution

Funds raised $1,096,050 $2,192,101 $4,384,202

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues, or agrees to issue, the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Facility.

  • (ii) No Options (including any Options issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the 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 issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (v) The issue price is $0.09 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 16 October 2012.

  • 9 -

GENESIS MINERALS LIMITED Notice of Annual General Meeting - 27 November 2012

The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

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.

  • (c) The latest date by which Equity Securities may be issued is 12 months after the Meeting. Approval for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Equity Securities may be issued for the following purposes:

  • (i) To raise funds, in which case the Company intends to use the funds raised towards continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets, an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), and/or general working capital.

  • (ii) In consideration of the acquisition of new resources assets and investments, in which case the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (e) The Company is yet to identify the persons to whom Equity Securities will be issued to under the Additional 10% Placement Facility. The Company’s policy for allocating Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending upon the purpose, and prevailing market conditions at the time, of any issue and having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) The fundraising methods available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue which may minimise dilution to Shareholders.

  • (ii) In the case of an asset or investment acquisition, the nature and circumstances of the acquisition.

  • (iii) The effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company.

  • (iv) The financial situation and solvency of the Company.

In the case of joint Shareholders, this proxy must be signed by each of the joint Shareholders, personally or by a duly authorised attorney.

  4. If a proxy is executed by an attorney of a Shareholder, then the original of the relevant power of attorney or a certified copy of the relevant power of attorney, if it has not already been noted by the Company, must accompany the proxy form.

  5. To be effective, forms to appoint proxies must be received by the Company by 9:30am on 23 November 2012 by post, facsimile or email to the respective addresses stipulated in this proxy form.

  6. In respect of the remuneration report resolution (Resolution 3), Shareholders are advised that their votes will not be counted if the Chairman is appointed to vote on their behalf with an undirected proxy form. As a result, if Shareholders wish to appoint the Chairman to vote on their behalf, they should ensure that they have specified the way that the Chairman must vote on that resolution.

  7. If the proxy form specifies a way in which the proxy is to vote on any of the Resolutions stated above, then the following applies:

  8. (a) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way; and

  9. (b) 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

  10. (c) if the proxy is the Chairman, the proxy must vote on a poll and must vote that way, and

  11. (d) if the proxy is not the Chairman, the proxy need not vote on a poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way.

  12. If a proxy is also a Shareholder, the proxy can cast any votes the proxy holds as a Shareholder in any way that the proxy sees fit.
