Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Helix Resources Limited ( Helix or the Company ) in connection with the business to be conducted at an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at the office of Grant Thornton, being Level 2, 10 Kings Park Road, West Perth, Western Australia on Monday, 28 November 2016 at 3.30pm.

This Explanatory Statement forms part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders should note that all the Directors approved the proposal to put the Resolutions to Shareholders as outlined in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and to prepare this Explanatory Statement.

Proxies

Please note that:

  • (a) a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;

  • (b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company;

  • (c) a Shareholder may appoint a body corporate or an individual as its proxy;

  • (d) a body corporate appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers that the body may exercise as the Shareholder’s proxy; and

  • (e) Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as its proxy and the body corporate wishes to appoint an individual as its representative, the body corporate should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that company’s representative. The authority may be sent to the Company or its share registry in advance of the Annual General Meeting or handed in at the Annual General Meeting when registering as a corporate representative.

Members of Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties may not be able to vote as proxy on Resolution 1 unless the Shareholder directs them how to vote or, in the case of the Chairman, unless the Shareholder expressly authorises him to do so. If a Shareholder intends to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel or their Closely Related Parties (other than the Chairman) as its proxy, the Shareholder should ensure that it directs the proxy how to vote on Resolution 1.

If a Shareholder intends to appoint the Chairman as its proxy on Resolution 1 the Shareholder can direct the Chairman how to vote by marking one of the boxes for Resolution 1 (for example, if the Shareholder wishes to vote ‘for’, ‘against’ or to ‘abstain’ from voting). If a Shareholder does not direct the Chairman how to vote, the Shareholder can expressly authorise the Chairman to vote as the Chairman thinks fit on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box on the Proxy Form even though Resolution 1 is connected to the remuneration of the Chairman and even if the Chairman has an interest in the outcome of that Resolution.

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and send by:

  • (a) Post or deliver by person to to the Company’s registered office at 78 Churchill Avenue, Subiaco, Western Australia 6008; or

  • (b) email to the Company Secretary at [email protected].

so that it is received by no later than 3.30pm (WST) on Saturday, 26 November 2016. Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.

Voting Entitlements

In accordance with Regulations 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register of Shareholders as at 3:30pm (WST) on Saturday 26 November 2016. Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining Shareholder’s entitlement to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

The Corporations Act requires the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2016, which includes the Financial Report of the Company, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report, to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. The financial statements and reports are contained in the Annual Report. Shareholders who have elected to receive the Annual Report have been provided with a copy. The Annual Report is also available on ASX’s website.

While no resolution is required in relation to this item, Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask questions and make comments on the financial statements and reports.

2. RESOLUTION 1 - ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

Section 249L(2) of the Corporations Act requires a company to inform shareholders that a resolution on the Remuneration Report will be put at the Annual General Meeting. However, section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.

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 Report.

If at least 25% of the votes on this Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company’s 2017 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of the Directors ( Spill Resolution ).

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 Company’s 2017 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company’s 2017 Directors’ report 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 is approved will be the directors of the Company.

In accordance with section 250SA of the Corporations Act, the Chairman will provide a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Previous voting results

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.

If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel as your proxy

If you elect to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of that member, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be included in any vote on Resolution 1.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy

If you elect to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you do not need to direct the Chair how you wish them to exercise your vote on Resolution 1.

RESOLUTION 2 - ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third Annual General Meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer.

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution provides that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being shall retire from office. The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election. A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2, is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has three Directors and accordingly one must retire.

Mr Pasquale Rombola, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Mr Rombola has extensive experience in the investment banking industry in Sydney, London, Hong Kong and Singapore specialising in Asian and Australian equities and equities business management. He has worked for both Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank. He held a variety of roles with Morgan Stanley, including Head of the ASEAN equity and Global Head of the Asia equity sales force. He was also responsible for the development of the Morgan Stanley equity business in Indonesia.

Mr Rombola has extensive experience in dealings with institutional equity clients, executing capital raisings for public companies and also in equity business management across product areas.
