The Company will disregard any votes cast (in any capacity) on Resolution 1 by, or on behalf of, a member of the Key Management Personnel listed in the Remuneration Report (“ KMP ”) or a KMP’s closely related party. However the Company need not disregard a vote if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:
-
(a) the voter is appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on this resolution; or
-
(b) the voter is the chair of the meeting and the appointment of the chair as proxy:
-
(i) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on this resolution; and
-
(ii) expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if this resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel for the Company.
Closely related party is defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and includes a spouse, dependant and certain other close family members, as well as any companies controlled by the KMP.
VOTING EXCLUSIONS FOR THE PURPOSES OF RESOLUTION 5
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 5 by any person who may participate in the issue of Equity Securities under the Placement Facility and any person who might obtain a benefit (except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities) if Resolution 5 is passed, and any associate (as defined in the Listing Rules) of those persons. However the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
(a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

The proposed allottees of any Equity Securities under the Placement Facility are not as yet known or identified. In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of any Equity Securities issued under the Placement Facility), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted, and there is no reason to exclude their votes.

A company must sign a proxy under common seal in accordance with its Constitution or otherwise in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 or under power of attorney which must be produced with the Proxy Form.

Introduction to Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders to understand the business to be put to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of AGM. Shareholders should read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.
The Glossary at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum contains the definitions of the capitalised terms in the Notice of AGM and this part of the Explanatory Memorandum.
If any Shareholder is in doubt as to how they should vote, then they should seek advice from their professional adviser before voting.
Financial Statements and Reports
The Annual Report is available for review by Shareholders at www.globemetalsandmining.com.au or www.asx.com.au and will be tabled at the Meeting. There is no formal resolution to accept the contents of the Annual Report, but provision will be made for Shareholders to question the Directors and the Auditor should they so desire.
Whilst there is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to ask questions or make statements in relation to these reports or the management of the Company but no formal resolution to adopt the reports will be put to Shareholders at the Meeting (save for Resolution 1 for the adoption of the remuneration report). Shareholders will also be given an opportunity to ask the Auditor or the Auditor’s representative questions relating to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
Shareholders may also submit written questions for the Auditor if the questions are relevant to the content of the audit report or the conduct of the audit of the Company’s financial report for the period ended 30 June 2014. Relevant written questions for the Auditor must be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company’s registered office.
A list of the relevant written questions together with responses will be made available to shareholders attending the meeting. They will also be placed on the Company’s website.
Part 1 - Item 1 of Business - Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report
The Board submits its Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of non-binding resolution.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Annual Report. This report can also be found on the Company’s website at www.globemetalsandmining.com.au. The Remuneration Report:
-
(a) explains the Company’s remuneration principles relating to the nature and amount of the remuneration of Directors, senior managers and other group executives of the Company;
-
(b) discusses the relationship between such remuneration principles and the Company’s performance; and
6
- (c) sets out remuneration details for each Director and for each relevant executive of the Company.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution that a further meeting is held at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.
A voting exclusion applies to this item of business, as set out in the Notice of AGM.
Part 2 - Resolution 2: To Re-elect Mr Jingbin Tian as a Director
The Company’s constitution requires that one third of the Directors in office (other than a Managing Director) must retire by rotation at each annual general meeting of the Company.

The profile of Mr Jingbin Tian is set out below.

The Board appointed Mr. Alex Ko as a Director in February 2014.

Part 5 – Resolution 5: Approval of 10% placement facility
General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued ordinary share capital through placements over a 12 month period beginning after the annual general meeting (the “ Placement Facility ”). The Placement facility expires 12 months after approval at an annual general meeting. The Placement Facility is in addition to the eligible entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity, as it meets those requirements.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder Approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the Placement Facility.
The exact number of Equity Securities which may be issued under the Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Heading 8.2 paragraph (c) below).
8.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder Approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue the following classes of Equity Securities:
-
(a) Ordinary shares quoted on ASX;
-
(b) the following Options:
8
| Grant Date | Expiry Date | Exercise Price |
Number of Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26-Oct-10 | 26-Oct-14 | 25 cents | 200,000 |
| 29-Nov-10 | 29-Nov-14 | 26 cents | 500,000 |
| 29-Nov-10 | 29-Nov-14 | 15 cents | 600,000 |
| 28-Dec-12 | 31-Jan-15 | 0.1 cents | 3,000,000 |
| 28-Dec-12 | 31-Jan-15 | 0.1 cents | 800,000 |
| 1-Jul-13 | 31-Dec-17 | 10 cents | 1,000,000 |
| 1-Jul-13 | 31-Dec-18 | 15 cents | 1,000,000 |
| 1-Jul-13 | 31-Dec-19 | 20 cents | 1,000,000 |
| 1-Jul-13 | 31-Dec-20 | 25 cents | 1,000,000 |
| Total: | 9,100,000 |
(c) Formula for calculating Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the Placement Facility Period (see Heading 8.2 paragraph (f) below), a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A = the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that become fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;
-
(d) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.
( Note that “A” above has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity. )
-
D = 10%
-
E = 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 the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
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.
At the date of this Notice of AGM, the Company has on issue 469,729,062 Shares and Variable “A” for the purposes of the formula in Listing Rule 7.1 and in Listing Rule 7.1A is 469,729,062 Shares. Therefore the Company has a capacity to issue:
-
(a) 70,459,359 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 calculated as 15% of 469,729,062; and
-
(b) subject to shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 5, 46,972,906 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, calculated as 10% of 469,729,062 Shares.
9
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Heading 8.2 paragraph (c) above).
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAMP (volume weighted average market price) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within five Trading Days of the date referred to in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f) 10% placement period
Shareholder approval of the Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(b) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.1 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( Placement Facility Period ).
8.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Placement Facility Period in addition to using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
This Resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative) on the Resolution.
8.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, this following information is provided in relation to the Shareholder Approval of the Placement Facility, to the extent that such information is not disclosed elsewhere in this Explanatory Memorandum:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAMP (volume weighted average market price) for the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(1) the data on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed: or
-
(2) if the Equity Securities are not issued within five Trading Days of the date referred to in paragraph (1) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
10
-
(b) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below (in the case of quoted options, only if the quoted options are exercised). There is a risk that:
-
(1) The market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(2) The Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the risk of voting dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice of AGM.
The table also shows:
-
(1) two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issues or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(2) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased 100% as against the current market price.
| Variable ‘A’ in formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
Issue Price | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.020 50% decrease in issue price |
$0.040 Issue price |
$0.080 100% increase in issue price |
||
| Current Variable ‘A’ 469,729,062 Shares |

| Funds raised | $939,458 | $1,878,916 | $3,757,832 | |
| 50% increase in current Variable ‘A’ 704,593,593 Shares |

70,459,359 Shares $1,409,187 |
70,459,359 Shares $2,818,374 |

| 100% increase in current Variable ‘A’ 939,458,124 Shares |
10% voting dilution |
93,945,812 Shares | 93,945,812 Shares | 93,945,812 Shares |
| Funds raised | $1,878,916 | $3,757,832 | $7,515,665 |
11
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Placement Facility.
-
(b) No current options (including options issued under the Placement Facility) are exercised resulting in Shares being issued before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(c) 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%.
-
(c) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements pursuant to the Placement Facility, 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 Listing Rule 7.1A and no other issues of Equity Securities.
-
(e) The issue of Equity Securities under the Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes options, it is assumed those options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(f) The issue price is $0.040 being the closing ASX price of the Shares on the ASX on 8 October 2014.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot Equity Securities during the Placement Facility Period. The approval under this Resolution 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).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(1) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances, the Company will provide a valuation of the noncash consideration as referred to in the Note to Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(2). cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.
-
(e) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
-
(f) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:
-
(1) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which the existing security holders can participate;
-
(2) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(3) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(4) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
12
The allottees under the Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of AGM but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties (as defined in the Corporations Act) or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments or the nominee of such vendors.
