4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of the Remuneration Report

4.1 Background

In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put a non-binding resolution to its Shareholders for consideration and adoption of its Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting. The Remuneration Report is a distinct section of the Directors’ report which deals with the remuneration of Directors, executives and senior managers of the Company.

The Annual Report is currently available on the Company's website at www.alderanresources.com.au.

By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:

  • (a) explains the Company’s remuneration policy and the process for determining the remuneration of its Directors and executive officers;

  • (b) addresses the relationship between the Company’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance; and

  • (c) sets out the remuneration details for each Director and executive officer named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.

The remuneration levels for Directors, executives and senior managers are competitively set to attract and retain appropriate Directors and Key Management Personnel.

The chair of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

4.2 Regulatory Requirements

The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Corporations Act provides that if the Company’s Remuneration Report resolution receives a “no” vote of 25% or more of votes cast at the Annual General Meeting, the Company’s subsequent Remuneration Report must explain the Board’s proposed action in response or, if the Board does not propose any action, the Board’s reasons for not making any changes. The Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the remuneration policy, even if it receives less than a 25% “no” vote.

In addition, pursuant to the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting, if at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to a vote.

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the Directors who were in office when the Directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this annual general meeting. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 2018.

Proxy restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

3 Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

4.3 Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Nicholas Heinen

5.1 General

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 12.3 of the Constitution, a Director is prevented from holding office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer. In addition, ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that a company that has directors must hold an election of directors each year.

As no Director has held office past the third annual general meeting or 3 years, Mr Nicholas Heinen has agreed to retire and seek re-election at the Meeting.

Mr Nicholas Heinen will retire in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 12.3(b)(iv) of the Constitution and being eligible, seeks re-election from Shareholders.

5.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Heinen is the founder and managing partner of Belgrave Capital Ltd, a London based investment management firm. He has been actively involved in the natural resources sector since 2004.

Mr Heinen joined the private bank Sal. Oppenheim jr. & Cie. In 1992 as a founding member of its corporate finance team. From 1996-98, he co-managed the bank’s UK institutional equity brokerage arm.

oversaw the acquisition of the assets, exploration, capital raising and development towards mine production. In 2005, he founded Universal Copper International Inc., which discovered, explored and developed one of Mongolia’s largest VMS-style copper deposits (“White Hill”). He served as the Company’s CEO until its acquisition by Kerry Mining Group, Singapore in mid-2008.

He structured and managed the sale of the company.

Independence

If elected the board considers, with regards to the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, Mr Heinen will not be an independent director.

5.3 Board recommendation

The Board (excluding Mr Heinen who has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 2) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval for Additional 10% Facility

6.1 General

  • ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ).An eligible entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an eligible entity. As at the date of this Notice, is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $35,642,450 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 19 October 2018).

If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of Equity Securities the eligible entity may issue under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Facility during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 3 for it to be passed.

The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice of Annual General Meeting. However, it is possible that the Company’s market capitalisation could increase to $300 million or more (for example, as a result of an increase in the

Company’s Share price) by the time of the Annual General Meeting such that the Company will not be eligible to seek security approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Facility. If this occurs, or the Company is included in the S&P / ASX 300 Index as at the time of the Annual General Meeting, Resolution 3 will be withdrawn and any votes cast on the Resolution will be disregarded.

6.2 Summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables the Company to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at its annual general meeting in addition to those under the eligible entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: AL8).

  • (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has 129,608,908 Shares on issue. Accordingly, if Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the Company will have the capacity to issue approximately 12,960,890 Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2; (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months; (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval; (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

  • (d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c)).

  • (e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (f) 10% Placement Period

If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the Company will have a mandate to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained until the earlier of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (c) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice and assuming any ratification resolutions in this Notice are approved by Shareholders.

  • (d)

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. Variable A is 129,608,908 being the number of ordinary securities on issue at the date of this Notice.

  2. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  3. No Options are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  4. The Company has not issued any other Equity Securities using its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A in the 12 months preceding this Notice.

  5. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  6. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  7. The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  8. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

  9. The issue price is $0.27, being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 19 October 2018 being that last day that the Company’s Shares traded on the ASX before the date of this Notice.

  10. (e) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.

  11. (f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  12. (i) as cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for working capital, continued development and expansion of its existing resources projects, including marketing activities, or for the acquisition of additional resources assets or businesses; or

  13. (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of additional resources assets or for the provision of services to the Company. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

  14. (g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  15. (h) The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  16. (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

7. Resolution 4 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares

7.1 General

As announced on 28 September 2018, the Company undertook a private placement to issue 15,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise $3,000,000 less costs.

15,000,000 Shares were subsequently issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the previous issue of Shares under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Ratification ).

ASX 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.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that when a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue made pursuant to the 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.

By ratifying this previous issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

7.2 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) On 8 October 2018 and 22 October 2018 the Company issued 11,500,000 Shares and 3,500,000 Shares respectively, for a total of 15,000,000 Shares;

  • (b) The issue price was $0.20 per Share;

  • (d) The Shares were issued to sophisticated or professional investors in accordance with subsections 708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act, as selected by the Company. None of the subscribers were related parties of the Company.

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

  • (f) The funds raised will be used for the next stage of the Company’s drill campaign at Accrington.

7.3 Board recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. Each Director intends to vote the Shares they control in favour of Resolution 4.

The Chairman of the General Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
