  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie, as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the Chair at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (ie, as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the Chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie, as directed).

Transfer of non-Chair proxy to Chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company’s members; and

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

The Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.

1. ANNUAL REPORT

In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act, the Directors must lay before the Company’s AGM the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report for the last financial year that ended before the AGM ( Annual Report ).

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

At the Meeting, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report;

  • (b) ask questions about, or make comments on, the management of the Company; and

  • (c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chair about the management of the Company, or to the Company’s auditor about:

  • (a) the conduct of the audit;

  • (b) the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report;

  • (c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted to the Company Secretary at [email protected] no later than 2:00pm (WST) on Wednesday, 23 November 2022.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Remuneration Report sets out the remuneration policy of the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

8

==> picture [99 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

At the Meeting, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Under the Corporations Act, if a listed company receives a Strike at 2 consecutive AGMs, the company is required to put to shareholders at the second AGM a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all directors of the company who were in office at the time the relevant Directors’ Report was approved (excluding the managing director) must stand for reelection.

The Company did not receive a Strike at last year’s AGM, therefore a resolution on whether another meeting should be held to consider the composition of the Board will not be put to Shareholders at this year’s AGM.

2.2 Proxy restrictions

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member, as your proxy to vote on Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Where you do not direct the Chair or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member, on how to vote on Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to Resolution 1.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MS ALICE WONG

3.1 General

Clause 11.3 of the Constitution provides that at the AGM in every year one-third of the Directors for the time being, or if their number is not 3 or a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, and any other Director not in such one-third who has held office for 3 years or more (except the managing director), must retire from office.

Any Director who retires by rotation in accordance with Clause 11.3 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire at the AGM are those who have been longest in office since their last election.

Ms Wong, who is one of 2 Directors required under the Constitution to retire by rotation at this year’s AGM, will retire from office at the conclusion of the Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election as a Director.

3.2 Qualifications and experience

Ms Wong is an accountant by training and commenced her career with Price Waterhouse. After more than a decade of service in the investment banking industry in Asia working for large multinational companies Morgan Stanley, ABN AMRO Rothschild, and BNP Paribas Peregrine, Ms Wong extended her

entrepreneurial endeavour into luxurious products and health care companies. Ms Wong invested into the Company via Apollo Metals Investment Co. Ltd during 2014 and has since served as the Non-Executive Chairperson of the Board where she has played an integral role in advancement of the Kanyika Niobium Project, including the granting of a mining licence.

Ms Wong holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and Finance from the University of Hong Kong and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

In addition to her role as Non-Executive Chairperson of the Board, Ms Wong is a member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

3.3 Board recommendation

The Board (excluding Ms Wong) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR BO TAN

4.1 General

Clause 11.3 of the Constitution provides that at the AGM in every year one-third of the Directors for the time being, or if their number is not 3 or a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, and any other Director not in such one-third who has held office for 3 years or more (except the managing director), must retire from office.

Any Director who retires by rotation in accordance with Clause 11.3 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire at the AGM are those who have been longest in office since their last election.

Listing Rule 14.4 relevantly provides that a Director must not hold office (without reelection) past the third AGM following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

Mr Tan was last re-elected as a Director at the 2019 AGM of the Company. Mr Tan therefore retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and, being eligible, seeks re-election as a Director.

If Resolution 3 is passed, Mr Tan will be re-elected as a Director. If Resolution 3 is not passed, Mr Tan will cease to be a Director at the conclusion of the Meeting.

4.2 Qualifications and experience

Mr Tan has over 15 years’ experience as a senior manager and director in financial planning, reporting, investment, capital structure and industrial research; and has worked for companies such as Bohai Industrial Investment Fund, Lehman Brothers Asia and Macquarie Securities Asia, and across international markets in China, Hong Kong, Canada and the USA.

Mr Tan chairs the Audit and Risk Committee.

4.3 Board recommendation

The Board (excluding Mr Tan) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO RELATED PARTY – BO TAN

5.1 Background

On 11 March 2022, Mr Tan provided a short-term loan facility in the amount of A$1 million, repayable in cash or by the issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 6.35 cents per share ( First Loan Facility ). The First Loan Facility was repaid in full on 16 September 2022 by the issue of 16,397,666 shares, at an issue price of $0.0635 per share, to Mr Tan’s nominee as approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting held on 14 September 2022.

On 5 August 2022, the Company announced that Mr Tan had provided a new loan facility for A$500,000, by way of a second tranche, on substantially identical terms as the First Loan Facility ( Second Loan Facility ).

5.2 Key terms of the Second Loan Facility

Pursuant to the Second Loan Facility, Mr Tan agreed to provide a further $500,000 on an unsecured basis to assist the Company with its short-term working capital requirements and to support the advancement of the Company’s Kanyika Niobium Project. Interest at 8% per annum accrues on the Second Loan Facility, capitalised monthly and calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year.

Subject to the approval of Shareholders, the Company may elect to convert some or all of the amount owing under the Second Loan Facility (ie, the principal amount plus interest) into Shares, by the issue of Shares to Mr Tan at a deemed issue price of 6.35 cents per Share.

The Company has agreed to repay the amount owing under the Second Loan Facility to Mr Tan on 9 February 2023, unless conversion of that amount into Shares has already occurred. If the loan is not repaid in full (or converted into Shares) by 9 February 2023, interest thereon will default to 20% per annum.

On 26 September 2022, Mr Tan agreed to provide an additional loan facility of up to $500,000 on an unsecured basis to further assist the Company with its short-term working capital requirements via drawdowns of $100,000 at a time ( Third Loan Facility ). The further funding under the Third Loan Facility, which will only be drawn down if required, is provided on substantially identical terms as the Second Loan Facility, including a term of 6 months from the date of the first drawdown and an interest rate of 8% per annum. The effect of this transaction is that, in addition to the Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 4, additional Shares will be issued to Mr Tan at 6.35 cents per Share should the Company elect to repay some or all of the amount owing under the Third Loan Facility by the issue of Shares.

The Company will convene a separate general meeting in due course for Shareholders to consider and vote on the conversion of any amount owed under the Third Loan Facility into Shares.

11

==> picture [99 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

5.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, the issue of the Shares on conversion of the amount owing under the Second Loan Facility constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to Mr Tan, who is a related party of the Company by virtue of him being a Director.

It is the view of the Directors (other than Mr Tan) that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply to the conversion of the amount owing under the Second Loan Facility. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Shares to Mr Tan for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

5.4 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

It is the view of the Directors (other than Mr Tan) that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Shares to Mr Tan for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

5.5 Specific information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.13

In accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Shares to Mr Tan:

  • (a) the related party is Bo Tan by virtue of him being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Tan (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) will be calculated by dividing the amount outstanding under the Second Loan Facility by the deemed issue price of 6.35 cents per Share. At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the amount outstanding under the Second Loan Facility is $506,268, which equates to 7,972,724 Shares;

12

==> picture [99 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

  • (c) the Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued to Mr Tan no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as is permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules), and it is anticipated that all Shares will be issued on the same date;

  • (e) the Shares will be issued for the conversion of the amount owing under the Second Loan Facility, at a deemed issue price of 6.35 cents per Share. The deemed issue price is the same price per Share issued upon conversion of the First Loan Facility;

  • (f) the Company will not receive any funds upon the issue of the Shares as they are issued in consideration for the conversion of the amount owing under the Second Loan Facility (converting a debt owed by the Company into equity, thereby reducing the Company’s debt);

  • (g) the funds advanced by Mr Tan pursuant to the Second Loan Facility are being used by the Company to provide working capital flexibility, and to support the advancement of the Company’s Kanyika Niobium Project;

  • (h) the Shares are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr Tan;

  • (i) as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Mr Tan has a relevant interest in 16,397,666 Shares and 1,250,000 Director Options;

  • (j) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to Mr Tan for the prior financial year and the proposed remuneration for the current financial year are set out below:

Related party Current Financial Year
(ending 30 June 2023)
Prior Financial Year
(ended 30 June 2022)
BoTan $58,000 $58,000
  • (k) if the amount outstanding under the Second Loan Facility is converted into Shares at a conversion price that is less than the price of the Shares that are currently trading on ASX, there may be a perceived cost to the Company. The Board resolved to issue the Shares, subject to Shareholder approval, on the terms and conditions set out in this Notice of Meeting at a time when the Shares were trading on ASX at approximately a 15% premium to the conversion price under the Second Loan Facility. The Board resolved to issue the Shares to Mr Tan when the previous closing price of the Shares on ASX was 7.6 cents;

  • (l) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of Meeting is set out below:

Trading Share Price Date
Highest $0.140 20 October 2021
Lowest $0.066 24 February 2022
Last $0.072 3 October 2022

13

==> picture [99 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

  • (m) the primary purpose of the issue of the Shares to Mr Tan is to convert the outstanding loan amount provided under the Second Loan Facility, which is a debt owing by the Company, to equity, thereby reducing the Company’s debt. The loan was provided at a time when the Company needed to secure such funds for the purpose of providing it with the working capital flexibility in accordance with its stated objectives;

  • (n) if Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to Mr Tan, calculated as 7,972,724 Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, which has the potential to increase the number of Shares on issue from 482,320,039 to 490,292,763 (assuming no other Shares are issued), with the effect that the shareholdings of existing Shareholders will be diluted by approximately 1.63%. Mr Tan declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee) will be issued the Shares should Resolution 4 be passed. Further, Mr Tan did not vote on the proposal for the Company to enter into the Second Loan Facility at the relevant Board meeting;

  • (o) the Directors, other than Mr Tan, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 for the reasons set out below:

  • (i) the issue of the Shares to Mr Tan will align the interests of Mr Tan with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the issue of the Shares will also extinguish the liability of the Company to repay the amounts owing under the Second Loan Facility upon issue of the Shares;

  • (iii) the issue of the Shares is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective consideration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of consideration were used to service the loan; and

  • (iv) the Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company, or benefits foregone by the Company, in issuing the Shares to Mr Tan on the terms proposed;

  • (p) with the exception of Mr Tan, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4;

  • (q) in forming their recommendations, each Director also considered the current market price of the Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Shares to be issued, as well as the conversion price of the loan;

  • (r) section 5.2 of this Explanatory Statement contains a summary of the material terms of the Second Loan Facility under which the Shares are proposed to be issued;

  • (s) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting; and

14

==> picture [99 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

  • (t) the Directors are not aware of any other information that would reasonably be required by Shareholders to allow them to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Shareholders to pass Resolution 4.

5.6 Specific information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and the amount outstanding under the Second Loan Facility will be reduced to nil. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares (because approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares to Mr Tan and the full amount outstanding under the Second Loan Facility will become due and payable by the Company on 9 February 2023.
