New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

Further details on these changes is set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. 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 of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. 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 (i.e. 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

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES

1.1 General

In the Company’s 2011 IPO Prospectus, the Company disclosed that pursuant to the terms and conditions of the executive services agreements entered into with each of Messrs Robert Mandanici, Steven Crabbe and Malcolm Carson ( Related Parties ), each of those Related Parties would be entitled to an issue of Shares to them following the completion of one year’s satisfactory service to the Company.

The purpose of Resolutions 1 to 3 is therefore to seek the approval of Shareholders to enable the Company to issue those Shares referred to in the 2011 IPO Prospectus to each of Messrs Mandanici, Crabbe and Carson.

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.

The grant of the Shares pursuant to Resolutions 1 to 3 constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Mandanici, Crabbe and Carson are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also 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 ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The Directors have considered the exceptions contained in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and consider that, although the issue of the Shares is a contractual right granted to the Directors by the Company, they have determined to seek the approval of Shareholders under Section 208 of the Corporations Act.

1.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Shares pursuant to Resolutions 1 to 3:

6

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:

  • (i) 1,000,000 Shares to Robert Mandanici;

  • (ii) 1,000,000 Shares to Steven Crabbe; and

  • (iii) 500,000 Shares to Malcolm Carson;

  • (c) the Shares will be allotted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the Shares will be granted for nil cash consideration as they are being issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of the executive service agreements entered into between the Company and the Directors prior to the undertaking of the Company’s IPO in Match 2011, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Shares on issue in the Company;

  • (f) the value of the Shares to be issued can be determined using the current price of the Company’s Shares trading on ASX on any given day. As the price of the Company’s Shares may fluctuate between the date of this Notice of Meeting and the date of the Meeting, it is not possible to provide an exact value of the Shares. However, the table below outlines the relative values of the Shares using different pricing mechanisms:

(k) the primary purpose of the issue of the Shares to each of the Related Parties is to comply with the contractual requirements of the executive service agreements entered into by the Company with each of the Related Parties prior to the undertaking of the IPO in 2011. A summary of the terms and conditions of each of those executive service agreements is contained in the 2011 IPO Prospectus, which is available on the Company’s announcements platform at www.asx.com.au;

(l) Mr Mandanici declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Shares in the Company should Resolution 1 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 2 and 3, Mr Mandanici recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the issue of the Shares to each of Mr Crabbe and Mr Carson is a contractual obligation of the Company under the terms of their respective executive service agreements with the Company;

  • (ii) neither of Mr Crabbe or Mr Carson have undertaken any action in their role as Directors of the Company in the previous 12

3285-02

months that would disqualify them from receiving these Shares in accordance with their contractual terms;

  • (m) Mr Crabbe declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Mr Crabbe is to be granted Shares in the Company should Resolution 2 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 1 and 3, Mr Crabbe recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the issue of the Shares to each of Mr Mandanici and Mr Carson is a contractual obligation of the Company under the terms of their respective executive service agreements with the Company;

  • (ii) neither of Mr Mandanici or Mr Carson have undertaken any action in their role as Directors of the Company in the previous 12 months that would disqualify them from receiving these Shares in accordance with their contractual terms;

  • (n) Mr Carson declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Mr Carson is to be granted Shares in the Company should Resolution 3 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 1 and 2, Mr Carson recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the issue of the Shares to each of Mr Mandanici and Mr Crabbe is a contractual obligation of the Company under the terms of their respective executive service agreements with the Company;

  • (ii) neither of Mr Mandanici or Mr Crabbe have undertaken any action in their role as Directors of the Company in the previous 12 months that would disqualify them from receiving these Shares in accordance with their contractual terms;

  • (o) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 1 to 3.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

2. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MR BRENDON BORG

2.1 General

On 29 May 2012, the Company issued 250,000 Options to Mr Brendon Borg, the Company’s Exploration Manager, in consideration for his services rendered over the past 12 months by Mr Borg to the Company within his employment.

  • (e) no funds were raised from this issue as the Options were issued in to Mr Borg for the reasons set out in Sections 2.1 and 2.2(b) above.

3. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO NEAL SHOOBERT

3.1 General

On 29 May 2012, the Company issued 150,000 Options to Mr Neal Shoobert, the Company Secretary, in consideration for his services provided over the previous 12 months in the role of Company Secretary.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Options.

Instruc tions for Com p letin g ‘A pp ointment o f Prox y ’ Form

  1. ( Appointing a Proxy ): A member entitled to attend and cast a vote at an General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If the member is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the meeting, the member may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. However, where both proxies attend the meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A member who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a member appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.

  2. ( Direction to Vote ): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

  3. ( Signing Instructions ):

  4. ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the member must sign.

  5. ( Joint Holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the members should sign.

  6. ( Power of Attorney ): If you have not already provided the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

  7. ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

  8. ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the General Meeting.

  9. ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  10. (a) post to Lithex Resources Limited, 75 King Street, Perth WA 6000; or

  11. (n) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9486 4586;or

  12. (o) email to the Company at [email protected],

so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.

Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid
