7. EXPLANATORY NOTES
These Explanatory Notes are provided to the Shareholders of the Company to explain the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held at Suite 26.01, Level 26, Suncorp Place, 259 George Street, Sydney NSW 2000 commencing 11.00AM AEST Monday 3 May 2021.
The Board recommends that Shareholders read the accompanying Notice and these Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
7.1. RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 5 INCLUSIVE
7.1.1. BACKGROUND
7.1.1.1. LISTING RULE 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12‐ month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12‐month period ( Placement Capacity ).
The issues of securities in the Company in the past 12 months were within the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company seeks ratification of prior issues to refresh the Company’s Placement Capacity to issue further Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Shareholders approve Resolutions 1 to 5 inclusive, they will have ratified the issues of the Shares, and the issues of the Shares will no longer use up a portion of the Company’s Placement Capacity, meaning the Company will have an increased ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolutions 1 to 5 inclusive, the issues of the Shares will continue to use up a portion of the Company’s current Placement Capacity until that date that is 12 months from their dates of issues, and the Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder approval until that time.
Assuming there are no further issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 until the date of the Meeting, if Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 to 5 inclusive below, the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 will be increased by approximately 37,913,127 Equity Securities to 39,893,932 Equity Securities as at the date of the Meeting.
7.1.1.2. LISTING RULE 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities, of up to 10% of its issued share capital on issue at the commencement of the relevant period being:
9 | P a g e
King Island Scheelite Limited General Meeting 11.00AM AEST Monday 3 May 2021
==> picture [80 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
-
(a) If the eligible entity has been admitted to the ASX’s official list for 12 months or more, the 12‐month period before the issue date or date of agreement to issue; or
-
(b) If the eligible entity has been admitted to the ASX’s official list less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the ASX official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement (Relevant Period),
through placements over the Relevant Period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ).
The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
At the Company’s last annual general meeting held on 8 January 2021, Shareholders approved the 10% Placement Facility for the Relevant Period (12 months commencing 8 January 2021)
Since 8 January 2021, the Company did not issue any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Assuming Resolutions 1 to 5 inclusive are passed and there are no issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A until the date of the Meeting, the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be increased by approximately 2,960,098 Equity Securities to 35,686,864 Equity Securities as at the date of the Meeting.
7.1.1.3. LISTING RULE 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies a previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

7.2. RESOLUTIUON 6
7.2.1. BACKGROUND
Resolution 6 seeks approval to repay the Company’s $500,000 unsecured cash loan by Abex Resource Holdings with the issue of 9,090,909 Shares at an issue price of $0.055 per Share ( Abex Placement Shares ) and 4,545,454 Quoted Options (strike price $0.10 expiring 1 August 2021), being one (1) free attaching Quoted Option ( Abex Quoted Options ) for every two (2) new Shares to be issued to Abex ( Abex Placement ).
7.2.2. LISTING RULE 7.1
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Abex Placement Shares and Abex Quoted Options.
The Abex Placement does not presently fall within any of the Listing Rule 7.1 exceptions.
To fall within the Listing Rule 7.1 exceptions and not use the Company’s Placement Capacity to issue further Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1, the issues of Equity Securities proposed under Resolution 6 require approval by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

King Island Scheelite Limited General Meeting 11.00AM AEST Monday 3 May 2021
==> picture [80 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
7.2.3. EFFECT OF RESOLUTION 6
If Shareholders approve Resolution 6:
-
(a) They will have approved the issue of the Abex Placement Shares and Abex Quoted Options to repay the Company’s $500,000 Abex loan;
-
(b) The issue of the Abex Placement Shares and Abex Quoted Options will not use up a portion of the Company’s Placement Capacity, meaning the Company will have an increased ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder approval; and
-
(c) Assuming there are no further issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A until the date of the Meeting, if Shareholders also vote in favour of Resolutions 1 to 5 inclusive, the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without approval under:
-
(i) Listing Rule 7.1 will be increased by approximately 52,913,126 Equity Securities to 54,893,932 Equity Securities; and
-
(ii) Listing Rule 7.1A will be increased by approximately 3,869,189 Equity Securities to 36,595,954 Equity Securities
as at the date of the Meeting.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 6:
-
(a) The Company’s current Placement Capacity is sufficient and the Company would still be able to proceed with issuing the Abex Placement Shares and Abex Quoted Options and repay the Company’s $500,000 Abex loan;
-
(b) The issue of the Abex Placement Shares and Quoted Options to repay the Company’s $500,000 Abex loan would use up a portion of the Company’s current Placement Capacity until that date that is 12 months from their date of issue; and
-
(c) The Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder approval until that time.
7.2.4. CAPITAL STRUCTURE CHANGES
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of securities in the Company. If passed and the Abex Placement Shares and Abex Quoted Options issued, the Resolution will have an impact on the capital structure of the Company.
Shareholders will be diluted 2.48% on an undiluted basis and 3.11% on a fully diluted basis. This impact is summarised in Table 1 above and assumes that Resolution 6 is passed by Shareholders and the Abex Placement Shares and Abex Quoted Options are issued.
Abex Resources Holdings is an entity associated with the Company’s substantial shareholders, Mr Richard Chadwick and Mrs Gwenda Chadwick.
Following in Table 7 (undiluted) and Table 8 (diluted) are the changes in voting power for Mr Richard Chadwick and Mrs Gwenda Chadwick, assuming all Equity Securities the subject of Resolution 6 are issued and allotted:

Instructions for Completing Proxy Form
A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on behalf of that member.
You should direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on one item, your vote on that item will be invalid.
A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. This form should be signed by the member. If a joint holding, either member may sign. If signed by the member’s attorney, the power of attorney must have been previously noted by the Company or a certified copy attached to this form. If executed by a company, the form must be executed in accordance with the member’s constitution and the Corporations Act.
Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the proxy form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
-
(a) directors of the company;
-
(b) a director and a company secretary of the company; or
-
(c) for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.
For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
Completion of a proxy form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the meeting.
Where a proxy form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form enclosed and send the proxy form by:
-
(a) Hand delivery to the Company’s registered office at Suite 26.01, Level 26, Suncorp Place, 259 George Street, Sydney NSW 2000;
-
(b) Scanning and emailing to [email protected]; or
-
(c) Post to King Island Scheelite Limited, GPO Box 5154 Sydney NSW 2001
so that it is received not later than 11.00AM AEST Saturday 1 May 2021.
Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
Chapter 2C of the Corporations Act requires information about you as a member (including your name, address and details of the shares you hold) to be included in the public register of the entity in which you hold securities. Information is collected to administer your shareholding and if some or all of the information is not collected then it might not be possible to administer your shareholding.
