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 Resolution 1.

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.

| Period of validity of shareholder approval |
In the event that the Company obtains shareholder approval for Resolution 4, such approval will cease to be valid upon the earlier of: (a) 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting; (b) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or (c) if applicable, the date on which the Company’s shareholders approve a change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2, or the disposal of the Company’s main undertaking under ASX Listing Rule 11.2. (Placement Period) |
| INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED TO SHAREHOLDERS UNDER ASX LISTING RULE 7.3A | |
| Minimum issue price |
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 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the securities are issued. |
| Risk of dilution to shareholders |
If Resolution 4 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 $0.010 per Share which was the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 14 October 2022; 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. 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 |

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) the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue;
-
(c) 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.
-
(d) 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.
-
(e) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of shares.
-
(f) the issue price is $0.010, being the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 14 October 2022.
The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 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).
The Company may seek to use the funds for 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.
Genesis Resources Limited | Annual General Meeting 2022
13 | P a g e
| 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. |
|---|---|
| Issue of Equity Securities in previous 12 months |
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in the past 12 months. |
| What will happen if shareholders give, or do not give, approval? |
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval. If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% Placement 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1. |
| Board Recommendation |
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution. |
| Chairman’s available proxies |
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this resolution. |
