NOTES
1. VOTING
Ordinary resolutions require the support of more than 50% of those shareholders voting in person, by proxy, representative or attorney.
Every resolution will be decided in the first instance by a show of hands. A poll may be demanded in accordance with the Company’s constitution in place of, or subsequent to, the vote on a show of hands.
On the show of hands, every shareholder who is present in person or by proxy, representative or attorney will have one vote.
2. VOTING ENTITLEMENT
The Company may specify a time, not more than 48 hours before the meeting, at which a “snapshot” of shareholders will be taken for the purposes of determining shareholder entitlements to vote at the meeting.
The Company’s directors have determined that all shares of the Company that are quoted on ASX at 5pm (Perth time) on Monday 21 February 2016 shall, for the purposes of determining voting entitlements at the General Meeting, be taken to be held by the persons registered as holding the shares at that time.
3. PROXIES
In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act 2001,
-
(a) a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;
-
(b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and
-
(c) a member of the Company entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.
Page 2 of 6
The enclosed proxy form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging proxy forms.
Members are entitled to appoint up to two individuals to act as proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the member’s voting rights.
The Proxy Form and the Power of Attorney (if any) or the instrument appointing the proxy and power of attorney (if any) under which it is signed (or an office copy or certified copy certified by a notary) must be deposited at the Registered Office of the Company at Suite 1, Level 1, 35 Havelock Street, West Perth, WA 6005 at least 48 hours prior to the time of holding of the Meeting (and at any adjournment thereof), at which the individual named in the Proxy Form proposes to vote.
A proxy must be signed by the member or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the member is a corporation, under its common seal or under the hand of an authorised officer or attorney.
A company may only vote by proxy, power of attorney or by appointment of a corporate representative. The instrument appointing a proxy is not valid unless the original instrument and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which the instrument is signed (duly stamped where necessary) or a copy or facsimile which appears on its face to be an authentic copy of that proxy, or power of attorney is submitted to the Registered Office within the time set out herein. 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.

An example certificate is attached.
The Certificate must be lodged with the Company before the meeting or at the registration desk on the day of the meeting. The Company will retain the certificate.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUND TO THE SPILL MEETING
Under the ‘two strikes’ legislation which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the eligible votes cast on the adoption of the remuneration report of the Company at two consecutive annual general meetings are against the adoption of the remuneration report, the Company must put to the shareholders a ‘spill resolution’. If the spill resolution is passed, the Company must hold another general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (“spill meeting”) within 90 days of passing of the resolution. All the directors of the Company who were directors of the Company when the spill resolution was passed at the second AGM, with the exception of the Company’s Managing Director, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the spill meeting and resolutions to appoint persons to offices that will be vacated immediately before the end of the spill meeting must be put to the vote. Those directors who cease to hold office immediately before the end of the spill meeting are eligible for re-election as directors at the spill meeting.
At least 25% of eligible votes were cast against the adoption of the Company’s remuneration report at its 2014 AGM and at its 2015 AGM representing two successive strikes and hence, a spill resolution was put to shareholders at the Company’s 2015 AGM. The spill resolution was passed at the Company’s 2015 AGM and accordingly the directors have called this spill meeting.
Immediately before the end of the spill meeting, each of the Company’s current directors, excluding the Company’s Managing Director Mr Alistair Stephens, will cease to hold office, but being eligible each director is standing for re-election.
Accordingly, Resolutions 1 – 4 in this Notice of Meeting are put to Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to re-elect the current directors of the Company, being Ms Alice Wong, Mr Alex Ko, Mr Bo Tan and Mr William Hayden.
Resolutions 5 – 7
On 18 January 2016, the Company received a written notice from its substantial shareholder AoZhong International Mineral Resources Pty Ltd ( Ao-Zhong ), nominating Mr Wuming Wang, Mr Cungen Ding and Mr Neville Bergin for election as directors of the Company.
Having been duly nominated in accordance with clause 11.7 of the Company’s Constitution, and having consented to being nominated, the Company has accepted the nomination of Mr Wuming Wang, Mr Cungen Ding and Mr Neville Bergin for election as directors of the Company at the General Meeting and accordingly has put Resolution 5 – 7 to Shareholders for their consideration.
The Company advises Shareholders that resolutions for the election of Mr Wuming Wang, Mr Cungen Ding and Mr Neville Bergin as directors of the Company were put to Shareholders at the 2015 Annual General Meeting of the Company following a nomination by Ao-Zhong. After due consideration by Shareholders, the resolutions to elect Mr Wuming Wang, Mr Cungen Ding and Mr Neville Bergin as directors of the Company were not passed by Shareholders.
To the best of the knowledge of the Board, no circumstance has changed in the intervening period since the 2015 Annual General Meeting to warrant a change in that decision by Shareholders.
Accordingly, the Board recommends you vote against each of Resolution 5 – 7. The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies against these Resolutions.
There is no voting exclusion applicable to the resolutions to be put to the spill meeting.
Shareholders should note that if sufficient resolutions are not passed with a 50% majority, then in the absence of any other consideration there is a potential that the entire existing Board, apart from the Managing Director, will be removed from office and the Company would have only one director. Under the Corporations Act, however, a public company such as Globe Metals & Mining Limited must have a minimum of three directors at all times. To avoid the possibility that this may not be the case, the Corporations Act provides that in the event that resolutions under the
Page 4 of 6
spill meeting appointing at least 3 directors are not passed with a 50% majority then the unsuccessful nominees with the highest proportion of favourable votes will be appointed as directors, to make up the minimum number of three directors required under the Corporations Act.
