Amendments to proxy voting
The Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Cth), which came into effect on 1 July 2011, introduces prohibitions on Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties from voting their shares (or voting undirected proxies) on, amongst other things, remuneration matters.
However, the chair of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (i.e. a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted), provided the shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given an express voting direction to the chair to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel. If you complete a proxy form that authorises the Chairman of the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy, and you do not mark any of the boxes so as to give him directions about how your vote should be cast, then you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chairman to exercise your proxy on Items 3 and 4. In accordance with this express authority provided by you, the Chairman will vote in favour of Item 3 and against Item 4. If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, and you wish to direct him how to vote, please tick the appropriate boxes on the form.
The Company’s Chairman, Mr Eddie Pang, will chair the Meeting and intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each item of business, save for Item 4, which he will vote all available undirected proxies against.
If you appoint as your proxy any director of the Company, except the Chairman, or any other Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Items 3 and 4, he or she will not vote your proxy on that item of business.

Accordingly, Mr Kim Heng Lim will cease to be Director at the conclusion of the 2013 AGM.

Chairman’s The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of available proxies this item of business.
3. ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT (NON-BINDING VOTE)
| Agenda Item | Item 3 – Adoption of Remuneration Report (Non-Binding Vote) |
| Explanation | Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report is set out in the 2013 Annual Report and is available from the Company's website (www.genesisresourcesltd.com.au). The Remuneration Report: describes the policies behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the link between the remuneration of executives and the Company’s performance; sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for each director and for certain members of the senior management team; explains the differences between the basis for remunerating non-executive directors and senior executives, including the Managing Director; and outlines the Board’s actions in response to the ‘no’ vote of 25% or more on the acceptance of Genesis’ 2012 Remuneration Report at the Company’s 2012 AGM. The vote on this item is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. The Board will take into account the discussion on this item and the outcome of the vote when considering the future remuneration policies and practices of the Company. At last year’s AGM, 57% of the votes cast in respect of the resolution to adopt the Company’s 2012 Remuneration Report were cast against that resolution. Because the votes “against” exceeded 25% of the votes cast, the Company recorded what is known as a “first strike” under the new executive remuneration provisions of the_Corporations Act 2001_(Cth). In response to the ‘first strike’, the Directors undertook an informal assessment of executive and non-executive remuneration practices of the Company during the 2012 financial year, details of which are provided in the Company’s 2013 Remuneration Report. Importantly, in reviewing the reasons for the ‘first strike’, the Board considered that the votes of the largest shareholder of Genesis at the time were not counted towards the poll results of the remuneration report resolution, due to a technical error in completing its proxy form, and the subsequent invalidation of the proxy form. Subsequent to the 2012 AGM, the shareholderadvised the Company thatit sought tovotein favourofthe |

remuneration report resolution. On this basis, the Directors believe that a ‘first strike’ would not have been received by Genesis had the shareholder been permitted to exercise its substantial voting power of 18.13% (as at the date of the 2012 AGM) in favour of the resolution.
If (and only if) the votes against the 2013 Remuneration Report represent at least 25% of the votes cast, the Company will receive a “second strike”. Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), if the Company receives a second strike, a resolution must immediately be put to shareholders, allowing shareholders, if they so choose, to pass a resolution to hold fresh elections for directors ( Spill Resolution ). The resolution the subject of Item 4 is the Spill Resolution. If the Spill Resolution is passed, it will be necessary for the Board to convene a further general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) of the Company within 90 days of the AGM in order to consider the composition of the Board. (See Item 4 of the Explanatory Memorandum below for more details.)

5. RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES
| Agenda Item | Item 5 – Ratification of issue of shares |
| Explanation | The Company seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for an issue of 13,998,290 shares made by the Company on 15 July 2013 to China Century Overseas Ltd at an issue price of $0.09 per share (Placement). The Company raised $1,259,846.10 under the Placement, with the objective of the using the funds to pay for costs of the Placement and finance the Company’s significant and sustained drilling programs at the Plavica Project in Macedonia. The Placement was made pursuant to a capital raising mandate entered into by the Company with Rich Asia Ventures Ltd, an advisory house based in Malaysia with regional offices in Singapore and Hong Kong, under which Rich Asia Ventures Ltd agreed to act as lead manager to the Placement. For further details on this capital raising mandate, refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 15 July 2013. |
| ASX Listing Rules | ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, issue or agree to issue shares during any 12 month period in excess of 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period without shareholder approval. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, by permitting the ratification of previous issues of shares which were not made under a prescribed exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with shareholder approval, provided that such issues did not breach the 15% threshold set out by Listing Rule 7.1. If shareholders of a company approve the ratification of such previous issues of shares at a general meeting, those shares will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. |
| Reason for resolution |
The effect of ratification in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is the reinstatement of the Company’s maximum capacity to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company, if required, in the next 12 months without requiring shareholder approval. The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company that the Directors maintain their ability to issue up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company. Save for as otherwise set out in this Notice, the Directors do not currently have any specific intention to make any further issue of shares without approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in the next 12 months, unless such issue falls under an exception to the 15% threshold in ASX ListingRule 7.2. |
Genesis Resources Limited | Annual General Meeting 2013
10 | P a g e
However, the Directors consider it to be appropriate and prudent for approval to be sought at the Annual General Meeting, in respect of the relevant issue of shares made by the Company in the last twelve months. The Directors believe this approval will enhance the Company’s flexibility to finance its exploration programs through raising equity capital, should the Directors consider them to be in the best interests of the Company to do so.
In particular, the Directors note that if this approval is not obtained at the Annual General Meeting, the Company may be required to incur additional costs and delay of convening an extraordinary general meeting of the Company if the Directors propose to issue securities which do not fall under an exception to the 15% rule in ASX Listing Rule 7.2.
Information required to be provided under the ASX Listing Rules
As stated above, the Company completed the Placement to China Century Overseas Ltd, a strategic sophisticated investor introduced to the Company by the lead manager to the Placement, and raised approximately $1.26 million.
The Company confirms that the issue of shares the subject of the Placement did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, which contains requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to shareholders:
-
Reason for issue – to raise funds to pay for costs of the Placement and finance the Company’s significant and sustained drilling programs at the Plavica Project in Macedonia

6. APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
| Agenda Item | Item 6 – Approval of 10% placement capacity |
|---|---|
| General | Presently, under Listing Rule 7.1, every listed entity has the ability to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, which was introduced on 1 August 2012, essentially permits eligible small and mid-cap ASX-listed entities, subject to shareholder approval, to issue Equity Securities of up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by way of placements over a 12 month period, in addition to its ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (10% Placement Capacity). The Company seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity. The effect of this resolution will be to allow the Directors, subject to the conditions set out below, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The resolution the subject of Item 6 is aspecial resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person or by proxy) at the meeting must be in favour of this resolution for it to be passed. |
| Eligibility | ASX-listed entities which have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, and which are not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index will be considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice, the Company, which has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million, is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index. Accordingly, the Company is considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A. |
| Formula | The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined by a formula set out Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as follows: (A x D) - E Where: Ais the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement: plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2; plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months (there are presently no partly paid shares on issue in the Company); plus the number of shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and less the number of shares cancelled in the previous 12 months. ‘A’ has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity Dis 10%.

- 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.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing shareholders under various scenarios on the basis of:
-
an issue price of $0.09 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 1 October 2013; and
-
the variable ‘A’ being calculated as the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue on the date of this Notice, being 153,982,858. This assumes that all shares issued by the Company to date are ratified and approved by shareholders under Item 5.
The table also shows:
-
(a) two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased by 50% and 100%. The number of shares on issue in the Company may increase as a result of the issue of shares that do not require approval of shareholders (for example, pro-rata entitlement issues or scrip issues under takeover offers) or future placements of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 of up to 15% of issued capital that are approved at future general meetings of shareholders; and
-
(b) two examples of where the issue price of shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100%.

-
(a) the Company issues the maximum number of shares available under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
(b) no options to acquire shares on issue in the Company are exercised;
-

- Capacity based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
(e) the table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A and not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(f) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of shares.
-
(g) the issue price is $0.09, being the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 1 October 2013.
-
Period of validity The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under the resolution the subject of Item 6 for the issue of the Equity Securities 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).
-
Reason for issue The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following of shares under purposes: 10% Placement Capacity (a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new resources, assets and investments, in which event the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(b) cash consideration, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s existing and future exploration activities both locally and in Macedonia, appraisal of corporate and exploration opportunities, investment in new ventures (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of shares under Listing Rule 7.1.A and for 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.
-
Allocation policy The Company may not issue any or all the Equity Securities for which approval is given and may issue the Equity Securities progressively as the Company places the Equity Securities with investors.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors such as:
-
fund raising options (and their viability) available to the Company at the relevant time;
-
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation of the Company and the urgency of the requirement for funds; and
-
advice from the Company’s corporate, financial, legal and broking advisers.
The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice. It is intended that the allottees will be suitable
Genesis Resources Limited | Annual General Meeting 2013
15 | P a g e
| professional and sophisticated investors, and other investors not requiring a disclosure document under section 708 of the Corporations Act, that are known to the Company and/or introduced by third parties. The allottees may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders, but it is not intended that the allottees will be related parties or associates of a related party of the Company. In the event that the shares under the 10% Placement Capacity are issued as consideration for the acquisition of resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of such resources, assets or investments. |
|
|---|---|
| Previous approval | The Company has not previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and no Equity Securities have been issued under that rule in the 12 months preceding the Annual General Meeting. |

7. APPROVAL OF PLACEMENT OF SHARES
| Agenda Item | Item 7 – Approval of placement of shares |
| Explanation | The resolution the subject of Item 7 seeks shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 40,000,000 ordinary shares in Genesis at an issue price of not less than 80% of the average market price of shares for the last five days on which sales of the shares are recorded before the day on which the issue will be made (Proposed Placement). |
| Purpose of funds raised |
The Company’s Plavica Project comprises seven tenements; a concession licence for each of the seven tenements has been granted to the Company’s joint venture partner for a term of 4 years to April 2014. As notified to the market, the Company is in the process of conducting a significant drilling program at one out of the seven tenements (Plavica Tenement); the Plavica Tenement represents, in the Board’s opinion, a key area with the most geologically valuable potential within the overall concession area of the Plavica Project. In order to earn a 62% participating interest in the Plavica Tenement, Genesis has to complete a Macedonian Government Feasibility Study (FFS) for the Plavica Tenement before April 2014. With regard to the Company’s objective of completing an FFS for the Plavica Tenement by April 2014, the Board continues to expedite the Company’s drilling programs at the Plavica Tenement. Inaddition, theBoard continues to expendfunds at theremaining |
Genesis Resources Limited | Annual General Meeting 2013
16 | P a g e
six concession licences in order to meet minimum commitment expenditures at those tenements.
The Board has reviewed the Company’s cash flow position and budgeted expenditure for 2014, and has determined that the Company will require additional funds in order to achieve an FFS at the Plavica Tenement by April 2014, and in order to maintain its expenditure at the other six concession licences. Should the Board elect to raise capital solely through the issue of shares, it is likely that Genesis will have to issue shares in excess of its 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (in the absence of application of any exceptions under Listing Rule 7.2).
Any funds raised under the Proposed Placement will be used to pay for costs associated with the placement, fund drilling programs at the Plavica Project as well as completion of an FFS at the Plavica Tenement, and fund Genesis’ exploration programs at its Australian tenements.
In recognition of the dilutionary effect of equity capital raisings on shareholders, the Board continues to explore other capital raising opportunities to equip the Company with the financial capacity to achieve its objectives; however the Board considers it prudent to maintain the flexibility to raise equity capital from investors should the Directors consider it to be in the best interests of the Company to do so.
ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the company’s ordinary securities then on issue.
The effect of Item 7 will be to allow the Company to issue up to 40,000,000 Shares during the period of 3 months after the 2013 AGM (or a longer period if allowed by ASX) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity.
Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, which contains requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the following information is provided to shareholders:

Date by which The Company will issue and allot the shares under Shares will be the Proposed Placement no later than 3 months issued after the date of the 2013 AGM (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow).

Basis on which The Directors intend that the Shares be issued and allottees will be allotted to various sophisticated investors and determined professional investors introduced to the Company by the Company’s advisors and/or invited by the Company to participate in the Proposed Placement; however the Company will ensure that no shares are allotted to related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. Terms of shares Fully paid ordinary shares ranking pari-passu with other existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Use of funds raised The funds raised under the Proposed Placement will be used to pay for costs associated with the placements and for the purposes described above. Progressive issue The Directors intend that issue of the shares under the Proposed Placement will occur progressively. Voting Exclusion A voting exclusion statement applies to this item of Statement business, as set out in the Notice.
Given the current challenging environment for capital raising and based on Proposed advice to the Company from its advisors and the knowledge that ongoing Placement facility funding of the Company’s projects will be required, the Directors are of the to lapse if not view that it is prudent at this time to seek approval for the Proposed Placement utilised facility; however, at this point in time, there has been no determination to place any of the Proposed Placement, and accordingly, if approved by shareholders, but not utilised by the Company, the Proposed Placement facility will lapse within three (3) months after the date of the 2013 AGM. Board The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this Recommendation item.
