2. Resolution 2 – Election of Director – Mr Marcelo Hubmeyer De Almeida Bastos

Marcelo Hubmeyer De Almeida Bastos, Mechanical Engineering (UFMG), MBA (FDC-MG/INSEAD), MAICD

Marcelo Bastos was appointed to the Board in February 2014. Pursuant to Article 16.4(b)(ii) of the Constitution, a Director appointed as an addition to the Board must not hold office without re-election past the next annual general meeting.

In accordance with Article 16.4(b)(ii) of the Constitution, Mr Bastos, being eligible, retires and offers himself for election as a Director.

Mr Bastos is the Chief Operating Officer of the global resources company, MMG Limited, with responsibility for operations in three continents. He has extensive experience in major projects development and operation, and company management in the metals and mining industry (iron ore, gold, copper, nickel and coal sectors). Mr Bastos has served as the Chief Executive Officer of BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA), President of Nickel West of BHP Billiton Limited, President and Chief Operating Officer of Cerro Matoso and Nickel Americas of BHP Billiton and also had a 19 year career with Vale (CVRD) in senior management and operational positions, the last of those as Director of Non Ferrous operations.

The Board (other than Mr Bastos) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to elect Mr Bastos.

3. Resolution 3 - Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ report in the Company’s Annual Report.

The Remuneration Report:

  • describes the policies behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the link between the remuneration of Key Management Personnel and the Company’s performance; and

Page 5

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  • sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for each Director and for the Managing Director and other Key Management Personnel.

The Corporations Act requires the Company to put a resolution to Shareholders that the Remuneration Report be adopted. In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on Resolution 3 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if 25 per cent or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

It is noted that at the Company’s last annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report represented less than 25 per cent of the total votes cast and accordingly, a spill resolution will not under any circumstances be required for the Annual General Meeting.

A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 3 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. Key Management Personnel and their closely related parties may not vote on this Resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the proxy appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chairman and expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy. The Chairman will use any such proxies to vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Company encourages all eligible Shareholders to cast their votes in favour of Resolution 3 (Remuneration Report).
