  • a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these matters are 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 (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 of the meeting 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

  • 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; or

  • ➢ 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.

Chair’s intentions in relation to undirected proxies

If the Chair is your proxy or is appointed as your proxy by default, and you do not direct the Chair how to vote on Resolutions 7 or 8 on your Proxy Form, you will be expressly authorising

2

the Chair to vote on Resolutions 7 and 8 as the Chair sees fit even if these Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to vote in favour of the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 4 (INCLUSIVE) – APPROVAL TO REFRESH THE COMPANY’S 15% PLACEMENT CAPACITY UNDER THE LISTING RULES

1.1 Background

The Company is seeking shareholder approval to refresh the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity (defined below) in relation to the following recent initiatives undertaken by the Company:

  • (Resolutions 1 and 2) March Placement – on 16 March 2020, the Company announced that it had completed a placement of 12,857,143 Shares to sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of $0.014. The total capital raised under the March Placement was $180,000. 3,521,607 Shares were issued under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity and 9,335,536 Shares were issued under the Company’s Additional Capacity. The March Placement represents approximately 12% of the Company’s current share capital.

  • (Resolution 3) June Placement – on 22 June 2020, the Company announced that it had completed a placement of 1,008,012 Shares to Biddle Partners Pty Ltd at an issue price of $0.019 per Share. The total capital raised under the June Placement was $19,152.23. The June Placement represents approximately 0.9% of the Company’s current share capital.

  • (Resolution 4) Initial Investment Share Issue – on 22 June 2020, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of an 80% interest in Knox Resources Limited ( Knox ) from the shareholders of Knox ( Initial Investment ). The consideration for the Initial Investment was the issue of 9,473,684 Shares in the Company to the Knox Vendors, at an issue price of $0.019 per Share. The Initial Investment Share Issue was completed on 19 June 2020. The Initial Investment Share Issue represents approximately 8.9% of the Company’s current share capital.

Further details on these initiatives are set out in sections 1.3 to 1.6 below.

1.2 Purposed of approval

In general terms, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities that total more than 15% of its fully paid ordinary shares in any 12 month period without the approval of its shareholders ( 15% Placement Capacity ), subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to allow it to have an additional capacity to issue Equity Securities of up to a further 10% of its capital ( Additional 10% Capacity ). Such approval lasts for the earlier of 12 months and the date of the entity’s next annual general meeting (unless shareholders of the company approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2, in which case, the approval lasts until such approval date). An “eligible entity” means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

The Company is an eligible entity and obtained Shareholder approval for the Additional 10% Capacity at its 2019 Annual General Meeting on 22 November 2019.

9

3,521,607 of the March Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 and the remaining 9,335,536 of the March Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s Additional 10% Capacity in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Each of June Placement and Initial Investment Share Issue was made under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Each of the March Placement, June Placement and the Initial Investment Share Issue does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A and, as they have not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, they effectively uses up part of the 15% Placement Capacity and the Additional 10% Capacity, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the relevant issue date.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue by a listed company of Equity Securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1 (as applicable), if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A (as applicable) and the company’s shareholders subsequently approve it.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to:

  • the issue of 3,521,607 Shares under the March Placement ( Resolution 1

  • the issue of 1,008,012 Shares under the June Placement ( Resolution 3 ); and

  • the issue of 9,473,684 Shares under the Initial Investment Share Issue ( Resolution 4 ),

so as to refresh its 15% Placement Capacity.

The Company is also seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to the issue of 9,335,536 Shares under the March Placement ( Resolution 2 ) so as to refresh its Additional 10% Capacity.

If these approvals are given by Shareholders, the Company will be able to maintain flexibility to issue Equity Securities up to the 15% Placement Capacity and the Additional 10% Capacity and take advantage of any opportunities that may arise in the next 12 months.

1.3 Resolution 1 – Approval of prior issue of Shares under the March Placement under Listing Rule 7.1 – Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in respect of the March Placement is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) Number of securities issued: The total number of securities issued under the March Placement ( March Placement Shares ) within the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity was 3,521,607 Shares.

  • (b) Date on which the securities were issued: The relevant March Placement Shares were issued on 13 March 2020.

  • (c) Issue price of securities: $0.014 per Share.

  • (d) Terms of the securities: The relevant March Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company’s existing shares on issue. The Company applied for official quotation of the relevant March Placement Shares on 16 March 2020.

10

  • (e) Names of the persons to whom the Company issued the securities: The relevant March Placement Shares were issued to the following sophisticated and professional investors: Matthew Norman Bull, Nicholas Edward Bull, Floyd Barry Aquino, Benjamin Gordon Price, Gotha Street Capital Pty Ltd, Monarch Asset Management Pty Ltd and Donnybrook Superannuation Fund Pty Ltd.

  • (f) Purpose of the issue, including use or intended use of funds raised: The funds raised through the March Placement were used towards advancing the Alpha and Gold Basin projects and working capital.

  • (g) Summary of any other material terms of the agreement: The relevant March Placement Shares were issued to parties who warranted that they were Sophisticated Investors and were subject to the issue of a Cleansing Notice by the Company (which was issued on 13 March 2020).

If Resolution 1 is passed by Shareholders, the 3,521,607 Shares issued under the March Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the March Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed by Shareholders, the 3,521,607 Shares issued under the March Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the March Placement Shares.

1.4 Resolution 2 – Approval of prior issue of Shares under the March Placement under Listing Rule 7.1A – Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in respect of the March Placement is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) Number of securities issued: The total number of securities issued under the March Placement within the Company’s Additional 10% Capacity was 9,335,536 Shares.

  • (b) Date on which the securities were issued: The relevant March Placement Shares were issued on 13 March 2020.

  • (c) Issue price of securities: $0.014 per Share.

  • (d) Terms of the securities: The relevant March Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company’s existing shares on issue. The Company applied for official quotation of the March Placement Shares on 16 March 2020.

  • (e) Names of the persons to whom the Company issued the securities: The relevant March Placement Shares were issued to the following sophisticated and professional investors: Matthew Norman Bull, Nicholas Edward Bull, Floyd Barry Aquino, Benjamin Gordon Price, Gotha Street Capital Pty Ltd, Monarch Asset Management Pty Ltd and Donnybrook Superannuation Fund Pty Ltd.

  • (f) Purpose of the issue, including use or intended use of funds raised: The funds raised through the March Placement were used towards advancing the Alpha and Gold Basin projects and working capital.

  • (g) Summary of any other material terms of the agreement: The relevant March Placement Shares were issued to parties who warranted that they

11

2. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES – RELATING TO KNOX ACQUISITION (2[ND] TRANCHE INVESTMENT)

2.1 Background

Under the terms of the Initial Investment, the Company has the right to acquire the remaining 20% of Knox ( 2[nd] Tranche Investment ). The consideration for the 2[nd] Tranche Investment is the issue of 2,368,421 Shares to the Knox Vendors, at an issue price of $0.019 per Share ( 2[nd] Tranche Share Issue ).

The 2[nd] Tranche Investment is conditional on shareholder approval being obtained and the successful completion of the pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer announced by the Company on 22 June 2020 and pursuant to the prospectus to be lodged with ASIC on or around 29 June 2020 ( Entitlement Offer ) and the Company receiving valid applications for at least $1,000,000 (before costs) under the Entitlement Offer. A copy of Prospectus under which the Entitlement Offer is made, is expected to be despatched to Eligible Shareholders on or around 9 July 2020 with this Notice of Meeting.

2.2 Purpose of approval

In general terms, under Listing Rule 7.1, the Company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities in excess of its 15% Placement Capacity within a 12 month period without the approval of its Shareholders, subject to certain exceptions. Issues of Equity Securities made with prior shareholder approval are not included in the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity.

The 2[nd] Tranche Share Issue does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% Placement Capacity. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to the 2[nd] Tranche Share Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is passed by Shareholders, the Company will be able to proceed with the 2[nd] Tranche Share Issue. This means it will be able to complete the 2[nd] Tranche Investment and own 100% of the shareholding in Knox.

If Resolution 5 is not passed by Shareholders, the Company will not be able to proceed with the 2[nd] Tranche Share Issue. This means it will not be able to complete the 2[nd] Tranche Investment. In such case, the Company will remain an 80% shareholder of Knox.

2.5 Board recommendation

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

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

3. RESOLUTION 6 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

3.1 Background

Shareholder approval is sought to change the Company’s name from “Greenvale Energy Limited” to “Greenvale Mining Limited”.

The change in name reflects the Company’s focus on mining activities, including the proposed exploration plan for the Alpha Resources project together with its investment in gold focused activities.

15

Prior to the current name of “Greenvale Energy Limited”, the name of the Company was changed on 6 November 2014 from “Greenvale Mining NL” to “Greenvale Energy NL”. The name of “Greenvale Mining” was held for many years and well established. Accordingly, the Board considers that it is prudent to return to the use of “Mining”.

Shareholder approval is required for Resolution 6 under section 157 of the Corporations Act by special resolution. Approval is also sought under section 136 of the Corporations Act to make amendments to the Constitution to reflect the name change. The change of name will take effect on the day on which ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration to reflect the name change.

3.2 Board recommendation

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

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

4. RESOLUTIONS 7 AND 8 – PAYMENT OF ACCRUED BONUSES TO RELATED PARTIES

4.1 Background

At a meeting of the Board held on 19 June 2020 (Messrs Khouri and Fayad not present or voting):

  • a bonus of $150,000 was approved to be paid to Mr Elias Khouri, NonExecutive Chairman of the Company, ( EK Bonus ) to be satisfied:

  • $100,000 in cash, to be deferred until the next future capital raising after the Entitlement Offer; and

  • $50,000 by the issue of 1,666,667 Shares at an issue price of $0.03 per Share; and

  • a bonus of $150,000 was approved to be paid to Mr Vincent Fayad, Executive Director and Company Secretary of the Company, ( VF Bonus ) to be satisfied:

  • 50% ($75,000) in cash, to be deferred until the next future capital raising after the Entitlement Offer; and

  • 50% ($75,000) by the issue of 2,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.03 per Share,

(collectively, the Bonuses ).

The Bonuses are being paid to these two Directors in consideration of the significant additional work of an executive nature they have done on behalf of the Company over the last four years in particular. The work fell to them as the Company has no employees. No payment or accrual for such remuneration was sought by these Directors over that time in order to preserve the Company’s cash position.

The Board notes that:

  • The payment of the EK Bonus to Mr Khouri is within the current maximum aggregate amount of directors’ fees for all of the Company’s non-executive Directors ( Fee Pool ). The current Fee Pool is $250,000 per annum, which was approved by Shareholders at the 2008 Annual General Meeting.

16

  • Mr Fayad is an Executive Director and therefore the VF Bonus payment is not included in the calculation of the Fee Pool.

4.2 Purpose of approval – Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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:

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

  • 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 payment of the Bonuses to Messrs Khouri and Fayad, including the issue of shares under the share component as contemplated by each of Resolutions 7 and 8, constitutes the giving a financial benefit. Each of Messrs Khouri and Fayad is a Related Party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. However, the Directors (with Messrs Khouri and Fayad, who each has a material personal interest in this matter, abstaining) have formed the view that that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required, as the Bonuses fall within the reasonable remuneration exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act. In reaching this conclusion, the Board has had regard to various factors including market practice, the current remuneration of Messrs Khouri and Fayad and the extra work that has been performed by these Directors, and the remuneration offered to persons in comparable positions at comparable companies.

Nevertheless, the Directors have resolved, as a matter of good corporate governance, that the Company seek Shareholder approval to the proposed payment of the Bonuses, pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

For Resolution 7 , if it is passed by Shareholders, the Company will pay the EK Bonus to Mr Khouri (including the issue of 1,666,667 Shares to Mr Khouri or his nominee to satisfy the share component of the EK Bonus). Further, if Shareholder approval is given for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the Shares issued to Mr Khouri will not be counted towards the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. If the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not pay any part of the EK Bonus to Mr Khouri.

For Resolution 8 , if it is passed by Shareholders, the Company will pay the VF Bonus to Mr Fayad (including the issue of 2,500,000 Shares to Mr Fayad or his nominee to satisfy the share component of the VF Bonus). Further, if Shareholder approval is given for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the Shares issued to Mr Fayad will not be counted towards the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. If the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not pay any part of the VF Bonus to Mr Fayad.

4.3 Resolution 7 - Payment of bonus to Mr Elias Khouri – Technical information required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

  • (i) Mr Khouri is the proposed recipient of the EK Bonus and has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. Mr Khouri abstains from making a recommendation in respect of Resolution 7. The other Directors (with Mr Vincent Fayad abstaining) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution on the basis that the proposed total amount is fair and reasonable to the Company having regard to the extensive additional duties that have been undertaken over a significant period of time.
