Dear Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of Highfield Resources Limited, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting.

The 2018 financial year concluded on 31 December 2018 and it was a year that continued to deliver a few surprises for the Company. The requirement from the Spanish government authorities in March 2018 that the Company provide another layer of detail to its already comprehensive reports on seismicity, subsidence and salt by-product management was something we hadn’t anticipated and has effectively added one year to the overall permitting process. We remain confident that the quantity and quality of our work will assist us in the subsequent approvals that are required after the environmental permit. Certainly, the government authorities in Navarra, Aragon and Madrid have all responded positively to the work that has been carried out to meet the additional requirements. Our team in Pamplona has responded admirably to the Government requests, working with good grace while maintaining the focus and commitment necessary to secure the environmental permit as soon as possible.

Over the last 12 months our other activities have re-confirmed the competitive attractiveness of the Muga mine, with independent third-party reviews delivering additional confidence as well as a new Ore Reserves statement which tested all aspects of the project model. These studies have reinforced the Board’s commitment to deliver the project for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Potash prices in 2018 have continued to strengthen, slightly better than we had predicted with prices typically US$35 per tonne better than in 2017 and now about US$45 per tonne above the 2016 lows. Most forecasters are predicting a gradual increase in demand of 2% to 2.5% pa in the longer term – which continues to bode well for Highfield.

The enclosed Notice of Meeting outlines the items for shareholders to consider at the meeting together with further explanatory notes. Our AGM is an opportunity for you to share your views directly with the Board. If you are unable to attend the AGM in person, I encourage you to complete and lodge the enclosed proxy form as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 11am (Adelaide time) 21 May 2019. Instructions on how to vote by proxy are set out on the proxy form and this Notice.

As noted in my letter contained within the 2018 Annual Report, I will not be seeking re-election at the AGM. In addition, Owen Hegarty has also indicated that he will not seek re-election as a Director and will also retire from the Board at the conclusion of the AGM. The Board will continue to have a robust and appropriate mix of expertise and experience to progress the project.

I would like to thank all of our shareholders for their continued support. I also wish to thank my fellow Board members, the management team and all of our employees for their efforts during the year, efforts which I am convinced will deliver the positive result we are all looking for.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of a Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of shareholders of Highfield Resources Limited to be held on 23 May 2019. 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.

Other than the information set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors believe that there is no other information that could reasonably be required by shareholders to consider Resolutions 1 to 5 (inclusive).

1. RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2018 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy of the Company.

An electronic copy of the Annual Report is available to download or view on the Company’s website at www.highfieldresources.com.au. The Annual Report has also been sent by post to those shareholders who have previously elected to receive a hard copy. In addition, the Company has also enabled online voting, details of which are explained on the proxy form.

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 1 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.

Section 250R(4) of the Corporations Act prohibits a vote on this resolution being cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of any of the following persons:

  • (a) a member of the Key Management Personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report; or

  • (b) a Closely Related Party of such a member.

However, under section 250R(5) of the Corporations Act a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 1 as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:

  • (a) the person is appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; or

  • (b) the person is the chair of the meeting and the appointment of the chair as proxy:

  • (i) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and

  • (ii) expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel for the Company or, if the Company is part of a consolidated entity, for the entity.

Please note that if the chair of the meeting is your proxy (or becomes your proxy by default), you expressly authorise the chair to exercise your proxy on Resolution 1 even though it is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel for the Company, which includes the chair. If you appoint the chair as your proxy you can direct the chair to vote for or against or abstain from voting on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form.

Resolution 1 is an advisory resolution.

The chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Please also note that under sections 250U and 250V of the Corporations Act, if at two consecutive annual general meetings of a listed company at least 25% of votes cast on a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted are against adoption of the report, at the second of these annual general meetings there must be put to

Page 7

the vote a resolution that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all directors (except the managing director) who were directors at the date the remuneration report was approved at the second annual general meeting must stand for re-election. So, in summary, shareholders will be entitled to vote in favour of holding a general meeting to re-elect the Board if the Remuneration Report receives ‘two strikes’. The Remuneration Report did not receive a ‘first strike’ at the Company’s last annual general meeting.

2. RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF MS PAULINE CARR AS DIRECTOR

Clause 12.11.1 of the Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest one-third must retire from office. Clause 12.13 of the Constitution provides that a Director retiring at an annual general meeting who is not disqualified by law from being reappointed is eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Ms Pauline Carr retires as a Director and, being eligible, offers herself for re-election.

A resume for Ms Carr follows:

Ms Pauline Carr

Independent Non-Executive Director, BEcon, MBA, FAICD, FCIS, FGIA

Ms. Carr has over 30 years’ commercial experience in management, corporate governance and compliance, mergers and acquisitions, investor and stakeholder relations and corporate restructures. She currently provides business improvement, compliance, risk management, project management and corporate governance solutions to executive management teams internationally. Prior to this, Ms. Carr held senior positions with Newmont Asia Pacific and ASX listed Normandy Mining Limited and worked for a number of years in the oil and gas sector with Exxon Mobil. She sits on several Boards and is Chancellor of the University of South Australia. She is also Deputy Chairman of the South Australian Minerals and Energy Advisory Council and the Minerals and Petroleum Expert Group.

Ms Carr is an independent non-executive Director of the Board, and chairs the Board’s Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee and its Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Ms Carr does not have any interests, positions, associations or relationships that may or may be perceived to influence her independent judgement.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Directors (other than Ms Carr) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

3. RESOLUTION 3: ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR – MR PETER ALBERT

3.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, to issue options to its Group Managing Director as part of his long term incentive based remuneration package. Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of 2,933,040 options, each to acquire one ordinary share in the Company, under the Highfield Resources Limited Employee Long Term Incentive Plan ( Plan ) to the Group Managing Director Mr Peter Albert ( Options ) for the financial year 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019.

Each Option will vest as one share. In order for the Options to vest as shares Mr Albert must be an employee of the Highfield Group as at the vesting assessment date of the respective tranche ( Vesting Condition ) as shown below:

Tranche 1 1,114,064 Options – Vesting assessment date 31 December 2019 Tranche 2 961,300 Options – Vesting assessment date 31 December 2020 Tranche 3 857,676 Options – Vesting assessment date 31 December 2021

Page 8

Unless the Board determines otherwise, in the event that the Vesting Condition of any tranche is not met, the Options for that tranche will not vest and, as a result, no new shares will be issued for that tranche.

Once vested, Options will be exercisable at $0.83 per share. All of the Options will have a three year exercise period commencing after the vesting assessment date as shown below:

Tranche 1 Vesting date 31 December 2019. Expiry Date 31 December 2022 Tranche 2 Vesting date 31 December 2020. Expiry Date 31 December 2023 Tranche 3 Vesting date 31 December 2021. Expiry Date 31 December 2024

Full details of the terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Annexure A.

Mr Albert was appointed to the Board effective 1 September 2016 as the Group’s Managing Director. As part of his incentive based remuneration package, the Board has determined that, subject to shareholder approval, Mr Albert be issued 2,933,040 unlisted Options in the Company pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

The Options will be granted as a key component of Mr Albert’s remuneration in order to retain his expertise and provide an incentive linked to the longer term performance of the Company relative to the market.

3.2

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:

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

  • (b) 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 grant of Options to Mr Albert constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Albert is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a current Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Albert) consider that shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required because the grant of the Options is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

3.3 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval for the acquisition of securities by a director (or an associate of a director) of the entity (or a person whose relationship with the entity or the director or associate, is in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained) under an employee incentive scheme.

The approval sought is to grant Mr Albert 2,933,040 Options under the Plan. Options are relevant securities for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

As the grant of the Options involves the acquisition by a director of the Company of securities under an employee incentive scheme, shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 is required. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.15B do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Options as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the grant of Options will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Page 9

3.4 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.15

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15 information regarding the proposed Options grant is provided in relation to Resolution 3 as follows:

  • Subject to shareholder approval, it is proposed that Group Managing Director, Mr Albert will be issued 2,933,040 Options to acquire ordinary shares in the Company, pursuant to the Plan. It is considered appropriate to grant the Options to Mr Albert as a key component of his remuneration in order to retain his services and provide incentive linked to the performance of the Company.

  • The Options will be issued for nil cash consideration.

  • No funds will be raised by the grant of the Options as they are being granted for no consideration. Each Option proposed to be granted entitles Mr Albert to subscribe for one ordinary share in the Company at the exercise price specified above exercisable during the exercise period specified above. Shares issued on exercise of the Options will rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. The terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Annexure A.

  • Mr Albert has previously received 4,812,941 Options under the Plan since its last approval at the Company’s 2017 annual general meeting. These Options were issued for nil cash consideration. Details of prior options issued under the plan are shown in the Annual Report.

  • The persons referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 entitled to participate in the Plan are the current Directors of the Company, however at this time it is intended that only Mr Albert will receive Options pursuant to the Plan, subject to shareholder approval.

  • A voting exclusion statement has been included for the purposes of Resolution 3.

  • No loan will be provided by the Company in relation to the grant or exercise of the Options proposed to be provided to Mr Albert.

  • If shareholder approval is obtained, the Options will be granted to Mr Albert as soon as practicable after the Meeting, but in any event, within 12 months after the Meeting.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Directors (other than Mr Albert) do not have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 3 and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Please note that if the chair of the meeting is your proxy (or becomes your proxy by default), you expressly authorise the chair to exercise your proxy on Resolution 3 even though it is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel for the Company, which includes the chair. If you appoint the chair as your proxy you can direct the chair to vote for or against or abstain from voting on Resolution 3 by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form.

The chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

4. RESOLUTION 4: ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – MR RICHARD CROOKES

4.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, to issue options to one of its current non-executive Directors as part of his incentive based remuneration package. Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval for the grant of 1,000,000 options to Mr Richard Crookes (or his nominee).

Mr Crookes was appointed to the Board on 16 May 2013 as a non-executive Director. Consistent with the Board’s approved remuneration guidelines effective 1 July 2015, the Board has determined that, subject to shareholder approval, Mr Crookes be issued 1,000,000 unlisted options in the Company. The exercise price of the proposed option issue is $0.83 per option which is a 18.57% premium to the Company’s closing share price as at 29 March 2019.These options will expire after three years after issue if not exercised.

4.2 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:

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

  • (b) 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 grant of the options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Crookes is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a current Director.

The Directors consider that shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required because the grant of the options is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

4.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained, unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the grant of the options involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the options as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the grant of the options will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Page 11

4.4 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) The options will be granted to Mr Crookes (or his nominee).

  • (b) 1,000,000 options will be granted.

  • (c) The options will be granted no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

  • (d) The options will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised.

  • (e) The terms and conditions of the options are set out in Annexure B.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Directors (other than Mr Crookes) do not have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Please note that if the chair of the meeting is your proxy (or becomes your proxy by default), you expressly authorise the chair to exercise your proxy on Resolution 4 even though it is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel for the Company, which includes the chair. If you appoint the chair as your proxy you can direct the chair to vote for or against or abstain from voting on Resolution 4 by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form.

The chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

5. RESOLUTION 5: APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

5.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued ordinary share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the eligible entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities which may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 5.2(c)).

5.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

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.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

Page 12

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue the following classes of Equity Securities:

  • ordinary shares quoted on ASX

  • options not quoted on ASX

  • (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

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 10% Placement Period (refer to section 5.2(f)), a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary 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 the approval of shareholders 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.l.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 329,525,003 quoted ordinary shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 49,428,750 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 5, 32,952,500 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

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 5.2(c)).

  • (e) Minimum Issue Price

Page 13

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 five Trading Days of the date referred to in section 5.2(e)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

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

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.1 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

5.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period in addition to using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative) on the Resolution.

5.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows to the extent that such information is not disclosed elsewhere in this Explanatory Memorandum:

  • (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 in the same class 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 five Trading Days of the date in section 5.4(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class 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 in the same class on the issue date,

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

The table below shows the risk of voting dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of shares and the current number of ordinary shares for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

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 shares the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary shares that do not require shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue) 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 shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

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

  • No current options are exercised into shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • 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%.

  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and no other issues of Equity Securities.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of shares.

  • The issue price is $0.70, being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 29 March 2019.

Page 15

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 5 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as referred to in the Note to Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition) and/or general working capital.

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

  • (f) 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 and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:

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

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments or the nominee of such vendors.

  • (g) The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2018 Annual General Meeting.

  • (i) The Company has issued 10,442,397 Equity Securities in the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting, representing 3.27% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

  • (ii) Details of the Equity Securities referred to in section 5.4(g)(i) is as follows:
