EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on 12 December 2017. This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice and the reasons for the resolutions proposed. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other. Certain terms used herein are defined in the Glossary at the end of this document.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
The Corporations Act requires the Financial Report (which includes the Financial Statements and Directors Declaration), the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report to be put before the Annual General Meeting. There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or in the Company’s Constitution for members to approve the Financial Report, the Directors Report or the Auditor’s Report. Members will have a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports and on the business and operations of the Company. Members will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions about the Auditor’s Report and the conduct of the audit of the Financial Report.
RESOLUTION ONE: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report, which details the Company’s policy on the remuneration of NonExecutive Directors, Executive Directors, and other Key Management Personnel, is set out within the Directors’ Report of the Company’s 2017 Annual Report. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report be put to the vote of the Company. Shareholders should note that the vote on Resolution One is advisory only and, subject to the matters outlined below, will not bind the Company or the Directors. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policy.
With effect from 1 August 2011 the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Cth) amended the Corporations Act to prohibit a vote on this resolution being cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of any Key Management Personnel, and any Closely Related Party of such Key Management Personnel, the details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report.
However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution One if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:
-
(i) The person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the proposed resolution; or
-
(ii) The Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as proxy and the proxy form expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
Please note, in accordance with sections 250R(4) and 250R(5) of the Corporations Act, the Chairman will not vote any undirected proxies in relation to Resolution One unless the shareholder expressly authorises the Chairman to vote in accordance with the Chairman’s stated voting intentions. If the Chairman of the Meeting is your proxy (or becomes your proxy by default), by completing the attached proxy form, you will expressly authorise the Chairman to exercise your proxy on Resolution One even though it is connected directly or indirectly
5
with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel for the Company, which includes the Chairman.
Alternatively, if you appoint the Chairman as your proxy, you can direct the Chairman to vote for or against or abstain from voting on Resolution One by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form.
As a further alternative, Shareholders can nominate as their proxy for the purpose of Resolution One, a proxy who is not a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties. That person would be permitted to vote undirected proxies.
The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies held by him in favour of Resolution One.
RESOLUTION TWO: RE-ELECTION OF MR KEN WILLIAMS AS A DIRECTOR
Pursuant to Listing Rule 14.5, an entity must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting. This rule applies even where no director is required to stand for re-election at an annual general meeting under Listing Rule 14.4.
The Company must therefore have at least one director stand for election or re-election at the Meeting. Accordingly, Mr Williams retires, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election at the Meeting.
Mr Williams has been the Chairman of the Board of Directors since 11 November 2013. Mr Williams has extensive experience in mining finance and has previously held roles in the treasury operations at Qantas Airways Limited and Normandy Mining Limited, before becoming Chief Financial Officer of Normandy, then Group Executive Finance and Business Manager at Newmont Australia Limited. Mr Williams’ re-election and his role as Chairman will see Havilah continue to benefit from his broad corporate experience, especially in the mining industry.
Directors Recommendation:
Dr Giles and Mr Mertin recommend shareholders vote in favour of Resolution Two.
