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 Resolution 1, he or she will not vote your proxy on that item of business.

6. Ratification of previous issue of Shares
| Resolution 3: Ratification of previous issue of Shares | Resolution 3: Ratification of previous issue of Shares |
|---|---|
| Explanation | The Company seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for an issue of 31,755,825 Shares on 9 May 2018. The Shares were issued to a sophisticated investor under a capital raising placement at $0.01 per Share. The Company raised a total of $317,558.25 under the placement. |
| 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. Accordingly, if shareholders ratify the Company’s previous issue of Shares (made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1) by way of approving Resolution 3, those Shares will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and will no longer be deducted from the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. |
| Reason for resolution |
As explained above, 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 to maintain its ability to issue up to 15% of its issued capital. 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 Listing Rule 7.2. However, the Directors consider it to be appropriate and prudent for approval to be sought at the Meeting, in respect of the issue of Shares made by the Company in the last 12 months. The Directors believe this approval will enhance the Company’s flexibility to finance its operations through raising equity capital, should the Directors consider it 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 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. |

8. Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
| Resolution 5: Approval of 10% placement capacity | Resolution 5: Approval of 10% placement capacity |
|---|---|
| General | Under ASX 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 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 Company, 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 5 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 ASX 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 ASX 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 ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity Dis 10%. Eis 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 issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. |

The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the VWAP for Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either: 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), the date on which the securities are issued. |
| Risk of dilution to shareholders |
If Resolution 5 is approved by shareholders, any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity may present a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing shareholders, including the risk that: the market price of the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the relevant issue date than on the date of this Meeting; and 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 $0.008 per Share which was the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 10 October 2018; and the variable ‘A’ being calculated as the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue on the date of this Notice, being 782,841,294. |

Period of validity
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 ASX 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%.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(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 and no convertible notes on issue are converted;
-
(c) the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue;
-
(d) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder as a result of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(e) the table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(f) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of shares.
-
(g) the issue price is $0.008, being the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 10 October 2018.
The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 5 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).
Genesis Resources Limited | Annual General Meeting 2018

| Reason for issue of shares under 10% Placement Capacity |
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes: (a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets, businesses or investments, in which event the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or (b) cash consideration, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s existing and future activities; marketing activities, appraisal of corporate opportunities, investment in new businesses (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of shares under ASX 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: 1. fund raising options (and their viability) available to the Company at the relevant time; 2. the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; 3. the financial situation of the Company and the urgency of the requirement for funds; and 4. 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 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 the allottees will not be related parties of the Company. In the event that the shares under the 10% Placement Capacity are issued as consideration for the acquisition of businesses, assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of such businesses, assets or investments. |
