3. Resolution 3 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Background

The Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2022 is set out in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.

The Remuneration Report:

  • describes the policies behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the link between the remuneration of Key Management Personnel and the Company’s performance; and

  • sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors and other Key Management Personnel.

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the AGM to include a vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report. In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Directors will take the discussion at the AGM and the outcome of the vote into account when considering the Company’s remuneration policies.

Section 250SA of the Corporations Act requires that a reasonable opportunity be allowed to Shareholders at the AGM to ask questions about, or make comments on, the remuneration report.

In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of votes cast are against adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution proposing that another general meeting be held within 90 days, at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) would need to stand for re-election ( Spill Resolution ).

This is the Company’s third annual general meeting since it was admitted to the official list of the ASX. At the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting, only 0.09% of votes were cast against the adoption of the remuneration report. As such, even if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 3 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report, it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders at the AGM.

Recommendation of Directors

The Directors encourage all eligible Shareholders to vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

4. Resolution 4 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement

Capacity

Background

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the Equity Securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

genmingroup.com | ASX: GEN

8

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by an additional 10% to a total of 25% ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ).

An “eligible entity” for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that, as at the date of the relevant special resolution under Listing Rule 7.1A, is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and that has a market capitalisation equal to or less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).

The Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $72.1 million as at 21 April 2023 and is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index. Accordingly, the Company is an “eligible entity” for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to access the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. If Resolution 4 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 Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the Additional 10% Placement Capacity and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.

Formula for calculating Additional 10% Placement Capacity

The maximum number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the approval sought by Resolution 4 will be calculated in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2:

(𝑨× 𝑫) −𝑬

Where:

  • A = the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • 1) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exceptions 9, 16 or 17;

  • 2) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • (A) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • (B) 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;

  • 3) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • (A) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • (B) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • 4) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • 5) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period; and

  • 6) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.

genmingroup.com | ASX: GEN

9

D = 10%.

  • E = 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 the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4

Note: The “relevant period” is a 12-month period.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A:

  • The Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be valid during the period commencing on the date of the AGM and will expire on the earlier of:

  • the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM;

  • the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • the time and date of shareholder approval of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

  • Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • 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

  • if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in the paragraph above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. However, if Resolution 4 is passed and the Company does raise funds from the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity then the Company considers that the funds may be used for general working capital and further investment in its portfolio of iron ore assets located in Gabon, west Central Africa.

  • If Resolution 4 is passed and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is a risk that:

  • the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the AGM; and

  • the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.

Any issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Equity Securities under the relevant issue.

If Resolution 4 is passed and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting interests of existing Shareholders in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below. This table shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of three different assumed issue prices and values for variable ‘A’ in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The table above assumes:

  1. The current issue price is $0.16, being the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX on 21 April 2023.

  2. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

  3. No convertible securities are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  4. The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes options, for the purposes of the above table, it is assumed that those options are exercised into Shares for the purposes of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  5. 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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the AGM.

  6. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the AGM 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. 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.

  7. The identity of the persons to whom Equity Securities will be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity 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 a number of matters including, but not limited to:

    • subject to the scale of the capital raising opportunity, and the appetite of existing Shareholders, a general preference to existing Shareholders;

genmingroup.com | ASX: GEN

11

  • the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company (eg placement, entitlement offer or share purchase plan);

  • the Company’s financial position and likely future capital requirements; and

  • advice from the Company’s professional advisers (including corporate, financial and broking advisers if applicable).

The persons to whom Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity may include institutional, sophisticated and professional investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of holders of an Australian Financial Services Licence and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to issue Equity Securities (but will not include related parties of the Company or their associates).

  • The Company has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the AGM.

  • A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 4 as set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Recommendation of Directors

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

5. Resolution 5 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares under Placement

Background

On 21 December 2022, the Company issued 39,500,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise $7.9 million ( Placement ).

The Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the Equity Securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If approved, 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.

Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares in order to restore the ability of the Company to issue further Shares within the 15% limit during the next 12 months.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the next 12-month period following the issue date of 21 December 2022. If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12month period following the issue date of 21 December 2022.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • 39,500,000 Shares were issued on 21 December 2022;

  • the Placement Shares are 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 Placement Shares were issued at a price of $0.20 per Share;

  • the Placement Shares were issued to various sophisticated, professional and institutional investors identified by the Company and the joint lead managers and bookrunners, Foster Stockbroking Pty Limited and Morgans Corporate Limited ( JLMs ) (none of which are related parties of the Company). The participants in the Placement were introduced by the JLMs, or were existing contacts already known to the Company. The participants were identified through a book building process, which involved the JLMs seeking expressions of interest from sophisticated, professional and institutional investors to participate in the Placement;

  • proceeds from the Placement are being used for pre-development works and to reserve long lead items to both fast track and de-risk the proposed project delivery timeline for the Baniaka Iron Ore Project, in addition to general working capital; and

  • a voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 5 as set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Recommendation of Directors

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

6. Resolution 6 – Amendment to Constitution

Background

The enactment of the Corporations Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Act 2022 (Cth) has made permanent amendments to the Corporations Act to allow companies and registered schemes to, among other things, hold general meetings using virtual meeting technology only if:

  • this is expressly required or permitted by the entity’s constitution; or

  • the entity is allowed to do so under a determination made by ASIC under section 253TA of the Corporations Act.

The Constitution of the Company does not currently allow for general meetings to be held using virtual meeting technology only.

The Directors consider it important that the Company have the flexibility to hold virtual-only meetings to ensure it is able to conduct general meetings in circumstances where in person attendance is not possible, practical or appropriate. Accordingly, Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to modify its existing Constitution to expressly permit the Company to hold and conduct general meetings using virtual meeting technology only as permitted by section 249R of the Corporations Act.

Shareholders as a whole will continue to be given a reasonable opportunity to participate in accordance with section 249DS of the Corporations Act when virtual technology is used to hold and conduct a general meeting.

A copy of the Company’s proposed amended constitution is available on the Company’s website. You can also request a copy of the Company’s existing Constitution and proposed amended constitution by emailing [email protected].

Resolution 6 is a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.

Proposed amendments to Constitution

Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution.

The proposed modifications to the Company’s existing constitution are to enable the Directors to determine to hold a general meeting of Shareholders using, or with the assistance of, any technology that gives Shareholders as a whole a reasonable opportunity to participate, which may include but is not limited to electronic participation facilities or linking separate meeting places together by technology.

Recommendation of Directors

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.
