Copies of the documents have been lodged with ASX and are available on the Company’s website at www.imageres.com.au.

As a result of the potential health risks from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and Government restrictions on travel and social gatherings, it is not currently advisable to host shareholders and members of the public in person at the AGM. The Company proposes to webcast the proceedings and for shareholders to be able to listen to the proceedings through the webcast. Instructions on how to join the webcast and submit any questions will be published on the Company’s website in advance of the AGM.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

1.1 General

In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report, which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the Key Management Personnel.

The Remuneration Report has been sent to Shareholders who have made an election to receive the Annual Report. Copies of the Annual Report are available by contacting the Company’s share registry or visiting the Company’s web site www.imageres.com.au.

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report. However, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board (except the managing director) if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive AGM’s.

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive AGM’s, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second AGM a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' report must stand for re-election.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2019 AGM. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution is not relevant for this AGM. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2021 AGM, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF AARON SOO AS A DIRECTOR

2.1 General

Mr Aaron Chong Veoy Soo was appointed as a Director on 27 July 2015. The Board considers Mr Soo to be an independent director.

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4, no Director may hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever period is longer. The Company’s Constitution also requires that one third of the Directors must retire at each AGM. The requirement to retire does not apply to the managing director.

Accordingly, Mr Soo will retire by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

All the Directors, except Mr Soo, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF CHAODIAN CHEN AS A DIRECTOR 3.1 General

Mr Chaodian Chen was appointed as a Director on 8 June 2016. The Board does not consider Mr Chen to be an independent director as he is associated with the Company’s major Shareholder, Murray Zircon and is also associated with Orient Zirconic Resources (Australia) Pty Ltd, a substantial shareholder of the Company.

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4, no Director may hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever period is longer. The Company’s Constitution also requires that one third of the Directors must retire at each AGM. The requirement to retire does not apply to the managing director.

Accordingly, Mr Chen will retire by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

3.2 Director’s biography and experience

Mr Chen founded Guangdong Orient Zirconic Ind Sci & Tech Co., Ltd (Orient Zirconic) in 1995 and has built the company into a leading company in the zirconium industry. Orient Zirconic is a listed company on the Shenzhen stock exchange in China (SZ: 002167). Mr Chen served as President and Chairman of the company until mid-2013 (when China National Nuclear Corporation became the largest shareholder in Orient Zirconic) and was re-appointed as a director in January 2020. He became the Chairman of Murray Zircon when the company was founded in 2011 as a result of Orient Zirconic’s first investment in mining in Australia. Mr Chen is the Vice President of China’s Non-Ferrous Metals Industry Association Titanium Zirconium & Hafnium Branch, the Director of the Zirconium and Hafnium Committee and the Adjunct Professor

  • 8 -

IMAGE RESOURCES NL Notice of Annual General Meeting 29 May 2020

of Shantou University Business School. He holds an EMBA degree and owns a number of patents involving the processing of zircon. He is current Vice President of Orient Zirconic.

3.3 Directors’ recommendation

Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum, all the Directors consider that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company, as Mr Chen’s long involvement at senior levels in the international minerals sands industry has been an invaluable knowledge source helping to deliver the Boonanarring Project to the production stage in a timely manner. All the Directors, except Mr Chen, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – INCREASE IN MAXIMUM AGGREGATE REMUNERATION FOR NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

4.1 General

Listing Rule 10.17 and clause 88 of the Constitution provide that the maximum aggregate amount of the remuneration payable as Directors’ fees to non-executive Directors is to be determined by Shareholders in a general meeting by ordinary resolution.

Executive Directors receive salary and other remuneration in accordance with the terms of their employment agreements, but do not receive Directors’ fees. The remuneration paid by the Company to the executive Directors is not included in the maximum aggregate amount of Directors’ fees for the purpose of this Resolution. The relevant remuneration is all fees payable to a non-executive Director for acting as a director of the Company (including attending and participating in any Board committee meetings) and includes superannuation contributions for the benefit of a non-executive Director and any fees which a non-executive Director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits.

The current maximum aggregate remuneration available for non-executive Directors has not changed since the last determination by Shareholders in 2009.

As set out in further detail below, the Directors consider it is reasonable and appropriate at this time to seek Shareholder approval for an increase to the maximum fee pool for non-executive Directors (for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.17) in recognition of the need to pay market competitive fees to ensure the Company is able to attract and retain non-executive Directors of the requisite calibre for the Company’s Board and in recognition of Directors’ increased workloads, including with regard to the Company’s transition from a micro-cap exploration company to an emerging mid-cap mining company.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the maximum Directors’ fees that may be paid to all of the Company’s non-executive Directors in each financial year increases from $300,000 to $500,000 (an increase of $200,000). The remuneration of each nonexecutive Director for the year ended 31 December 2019 is detailed in the Remuneration Report of the Annual Report.

The Directors take the view that based on best practice, it is appropriate to increase the maximum non-executive Director remuneration pool to provide flexibility to attract and retain non-executive directors on remuneration terms commensurate with their skills and expertise and the Company’s size and stage of development as a mineral sands producer.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

4.2 Non-executive Director fee review

The executive Directors of the Company requested a market survey from an independent consulting company to determine how the current aggregate fee limit of $300,000 relates to that of peer companies of a similar market capitalisation as the Company. The results of that survey indicated that the Company’s aggregate fee limit is substantially below that of its peer companies. Informed by this review, the Board determined that an increase to non-executive Director member and committee fees was appropriate, having regard to:

  • (a) the need to ensure the Company is competitive in attracting and retaining non-executive Director talent with the requisite skills, expertise and experience to support the Company’s transition to a mineral sands producer and execution of its mid and long term plans in the interests of Shareholders; and

  • (b) the increased workload of Directors in light of the Company’s transition from a micro-cap exploration company to an emerging mid-cap mining company.

No securities have been issued to any non-executive Director under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with Shareholder approval within the past three years.

Accordingly, the Board considers it appropriate to put this proposed increase to the Shareholders at this time. Disclosure of Directors’ remuneration will continue to be made to Shareholders in each annual report in accordance with applicable

  • 9 -

legal and ASX requirements. If Shareholder approval is obtained, the increased fee pool will apply for the financial year ending 31 December 2020.

4.3 Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 4, as set out in the Notice.

4.4 Directors’ recommendation

Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors, acknowledging that each non-executive Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN

5.1 General

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval in accordance with Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 for the Company to issue securities under the Employee Share Plan without prior Shareholder approval in reliance on the exception to Listing Rule 7.1. The principal terms of the Employee Share Plan are set out in Annexure A.

Listing Rule 7.1 places certain restrictions on the extent to which a listed company may issue certain securities. The effect is that shareholder approval is required before a company may issue certain securities representing more than 15% of the capital of that company within a 12 month period. However, certain issues are exempt from the restrictions of Listing Rule 7.1 and are effectively disregarded for the purposes of determining the number of securities which a company may issue within a 12 month period.

Exempt issues include an issue of securities to persons participating in an employee incentive scheme where shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme as an exemption from Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholder approval must be given in a general meeting held not more than 3 years before the date of issue.

In order to take advantage of the exemption from Listing Rule 7.1 and allow the Company flexibility to issue securities, Shareholders are requested to approve the issue of securities under the Employee Share Plan as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. This approval will be effective for a period of 3 years from the date of the Resolution. It should be noted that approval of Resolution 5 does not in itself allow for the issue of securities under the Plan to a Director. Securities cannot be issued under the Plan to Directors or their Associates unless prior approval of Shareholders is obtained in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14.

The main purpose of the Employee Share Plan is to give an additional incentive to employees of the Company to provide dedicated and ongoing commitment and effort to the Company, and for the Company to reward its employees for their efforts.

Shares issued under the Employee Share Plan will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Shares. The Company will make application to ASX for official quotation of Shares issued under the Employee Share Plan.

As an integral feature of the Employee Share Plan, the Company provides financial assistance to participants in the form of loans, which take the form of interest free and fee-free, limited recourse loans. When the Employee Share Plan was first adopted by Shareholders in 2018, Shareholders also approved various aspects of the Plan under the Corporations Act as set out below.

  • (a) Shareholders approved the Plan for the purposes of section 257B(1) of the Corporations Act to empower the Company to undertake a buy-back of Shares under the Plan using the employee share scheme buy-back procedure under the Corporations Act if required (for example, in situations where Shares are forfeited in accordance with the terms of issue).

  • (b) Shareholders approved the Plan for the purposes of section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act so the Board has the ability to take security over Shares issued under the Employee Share Plan and the respective loan agreement to be entered into between the Company and the eligible participant.

  • (c) Shareholders approved the Plan to ensure that it qualifies for the special exemption from financial assistance under section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act.

Refer to the Company’s notice of meeting dated 11 January 2018 for more information on those approvals.

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

5.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).

  • (a) A summary of the terms of the Employee Share Plan are set out in Annexure A.

  • (b) The Employee Share Plan was last approved by Shareholders at the general meeting held on 13 February 2018. Since that date, a total of 13,761,453 Shares have been issued under the Plan. Of this total, 11,375,758 Shares were issued to employees under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) and the balance of 2,385,695 Shares were issued to Directors after Shareholder approval was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14 at the Company’s AGM held on 1 May 2019.

  • (c) The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued to employees under the Employee Share Plan in the next three years (before a fresh approval under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) is required) if Resolution 5 is approved is 50,000,000. This maximum is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued under the Plan but is specified for the purposes of setting a ceiling on the number of securities approved to be issued under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b). Once this number is reached, if the Company wants to issue further securities under the Plan, it will need to go back to Shareholders for a fresh approval. The Board will determine in its absolute discretion whether any Shares will ultimately be granted to eligible employees under the Plan and may decide to issue all, some or none of the maximum number of Shares approved under Resolution 5.

The maximum number does not include the issue of securities to eligible Directors under the Plan – any persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 (including Directors) must obtain prior approval under Listing Rule 10.14. The number of securities able to be issued under the Employee Share Plan is also subject to a maximum number prescribed by the Plan (refer to Annexure A condition 5), so as at the date of any offer to be made under the Plan, the Company must also comply with that restriction.

  • (d) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.3 Directors’ recommendation

Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors believe that Resolution 5 is in the best interests of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. The Directors have formed this view as the passing of this Resolution will provide the Company with flexibility to issue securities to employees (not Directors) pursuant to the Employee Share Plan without utilising the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF MAXIMUM GRANT OF SHARES TO EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS MR MUTZ AND/OR MR SAKALIDIS

6.1 General

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 to permit the Board the flexibility to grant up to 1,700,000 Shares to the executive Directors of the Company (being Mr Mutz and/or Mr Sakalidis pursuant to the Employee Share Plan. It is expected that any Shares that are ultimately granted to Mr Mutz and/or Mr Sakalidis from time to time if Shareholder approval is received for Resolution 6 will be made no later than one year after the date of the 2020 AGM, but in any event within three years of the 2020 AGM.

Approval is being sought so as to provide the Board with the flexibility to appropriately reward the performance of the Company’s executive Directors (Mr Mutz and Mr Sakalidis) as they steer the Company in its transition to an emerging midcap mining company, including the various initiatives being undertaken to seek to extend mine life and further optimise production from the Company’s Boonanarring mineral sands project. In determining whether to exercise any such discretion, the Board will need to have regard to whether the proposed grant of Shares is considered “reasonable remuneration” for the purposes of the related party provisions of the Corporations Act, having regard to the Company’s position and the duties and responsibilities of the relevant employee.

Shares that are granted to Mr Mutz and/or Mr Sakalidis pursuant to this discretion will be issued at a price equal to the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares on ASX over the five Trading Days prior to the relevant date of issue. To the extent that the Board exercises this discretion, a loan would also be provided to the relevant employee to fund the issue of those Shares in accordance with the rules of the Plan, with the Company taking security over the Shares issued until that loan is repaid in full. A summary of the terms of the proposed loan that would be provided to any employee who is granted such Shares is set out in Annexure B.

Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

  • 11 -

IMAGE RESOURCES NL Notice of Annual General Meeting 29 May 2020

6.2 Requirement for Shareholder approval

Shareholder approval is required under the provisions of Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of all securities to be issued to Directors (or their Associates) under an employee incentive scheme. Mr Mutz and Mr Sakalidis are currently executive Directors of the Company.

Resolution 6 therefore seeks the approval of Shareholders for these purposes to permit the Board to grant up to 1,700,000 Shares to Mr Mutz and/or Mr Sakalidis, pursuant to the Company’s Employee Share Plan.

It is noted that the Plan itself was approved by Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) (now Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) at the Company’s general meeting held on 13 February 2018 and is being proposed for approval at this Meeting pursuant to Resolution 5 (refer to section 5 of this Explanatory Memorandum for more information). In any event, Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14) provides that Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for issues of securities that have been approved under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, if Resolution 6 is approved, the issue of any Shares to Mr Mutz and/or Mr Sakalidis pursuant to that Resolution will not reduce the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3 Information required by Listing Rule 10.15

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided for the purposes of Resolution 6.

  • (a) Any Shares to be issued pursuant to this approval will be granted to Mr Mutz and/or Mr Sakalidis, or their respective nominees. No other Directors are entitled to participate in the issue of Shares under this approval.

  • (b) Mr Mutz and Mr Sakalidis are currently employed as executive Directors of the Company. Mr Mutz is the Managing Director and Mr Sakalidis is the Exploration Director of the Company. As at the date of this Notice, Mr Sakalidis has indicated he will not seek re-election as a Director but will remain in his executive role as Head of Exploration.

  • (c) The maximum number of Shares that could be granted to Mr Mutz and/or Mr Sakalidis pursuant to this approval will be an aggregate of 1,700,000 Shares.

  • (d) Details of the current total remuneration packages for Mr Mutz and Mr Sakalidis are set out below:

Director Cash remuneration Other remuneration

The Company advanced the amount to be paid to acquire the Shares under the Plan under a loan agreement entered into with each of Mr Mutz and Mr Sakalidis. For more information on the terms of the loan agreement, refer to Annexure B.

  • (f) Shares issued under this Resolution are fully paid ordinary securities and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Shares.

  • (g) It is expected that any Shares that are ultimately granted to Mr Mutz and/or Mr Sakalidis from time to time if Shareholder approval is received for Resolution 6 will be made no later than one year after the date of the 2020 AGM, but in any event within three years of the 2020 AGM. The Board (other than Mr Mutz and Mr Sakalidis) will determine in their absolute discretion whether any Shares will ultimately be granted to Mr Mutz and/or Mr Sakalidis and may decide to issue all, some or none of the maximum number of Shares approved under Resolution 6.

  • (k) The details of any Shares issued under the Plan will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which Shares have been issued together with confirmation that approval for the issue of the Shares was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the Plan after Resolution 6 is approved and who are not named in this Notice will not participate in the Plan until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (l) A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 6 is included in the Notice of Meeting.

6.4 Directors’ recommendation

Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors (other than Mr Mutz and Mr Sakalidis) consider that Resolution 6 will provide the Board with the flexibility to remunerate Mr Mutz and Mr Sakalidis through the grant of Shares rather than, for example, a higher cash-based component of remuneration.

Accordingly, having considered these factors, the Board (other than Mr Mutz and Mr Sakalidis) believe that Resolution 6 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

7. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF NEW CONSTITUTION

7.1 General

Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of shareholders.

The Company’s existing Constitution was adopted in April 2004 and has not been comprehensively reviewed or materially amended since then. Since that time, there have been developments in Australian corporate law and practice, including a number of amendments to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and other applicable laws and rules which impact on the Company which are not reflected in the existing Constitution.

The Company has conducted a review of its existing Constitution to bring it into line with current law and market practice and to ensure it reflects the amendments to the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and other applicable laws and rules since the current Constitution was adopted in April 2004. As the changes introduced affect numerous provisions in the existing Constitution, the Board has determined that it is more appropriate that a new Constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) be adopted, rather than amending the existing Constitution. The Board also considers this a good opportunity to modernise and simplify some of the existing language in the Constitution.

Resolution 7 is a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Proposed Constitution has been approved by ASX.

7.2 Proposed material changes

The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature and the Directors believe they are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders.

  • 13 -

IMAGE RESOURCES NL Notice of Annual General Meeting 29 May 2020

It is not practicable to list all of the proposed changes to the current Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Memorandum but a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

Material Change
Summary
Restricted Securities1
On 1 December 2019, the ASX introduced a two-tier escrow regime where ASX can require
certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers to execute a
formal escrow agreement in the form of Appendix 9A. However, for less significant holdings,
ASX will instead permit entities to rely on a provision in their constitution imposing
appropriate escrow restrictions on the holder of restricted securities and to simply give a
notice to the holder of restricted securities advising them of those restrictions.
Listing Rule 15.12 requires the constitution of listed entities to contain certain provisions in
relation to restricted securities for so long as the entity has any restricted securities on issue.
The Proposed Constitution contains provisions which reflect the current drafting of Listing
Rule 15.12.
Although the Company does not presently have any restricted securities on issue, the Board
considers it prudent to update its Constitution to ensure it complies with these new
requirements.
Calls2
The process regarding calls made by the Company in respect of any amount unpaid on a
Share has been set out in greater detail in the Proposed Constitution. Further, the Proposed
Constitution treats any payment of calls in advance as a loan to the Company, rather than
allowing the Directors to determine whether it should be treated as capital or a loan as is
currently the case under the existing Constitution.
The existing Constitution provides that no Director is entitled to be present in person or by
an alternate director or to vote at a meeting of Directors or to be reckoned in a quorum if
and so long as he or she has failed to pay any call to the Company on Shares held by him
or her after the date upon which the payment should have been made. This same restriction
is not in the Proposed Constitution as the Company will have other rights and remedies
under the Proposed Constitution against a person who fails to make payment on calls,
including the forfeiture of any security and all dividends, interest and other amounts payable
by the Company on the forfeited security.
Further, if the decision to be taken at a meeting of the Directors is in relation to outstanding
payments on calls to a Director, that Director would have to declare his/her interest in the
matter in accordance with the provisions of the Proposed Constitution as explained below.
Fee for registration of
paper-based
instruments
of
transfer3
Under the Proposed Constitution, the Company is able to charge a reasonable fee for
registering a paper-based instrument of transfer in registrable form subject to the Listing
Rules. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its
fraud detection practices specific to paper-based instruments of transfer.
The existing Constitution does not contain a similar provision as the changes to the Listing
Rules which allows for this fee being charged were introduced after the existing Constitution
was adopted in April 2004.
Sale of unmarketable
parcels4
Greater clarity has been provided in the Proposed Constitution regarding the process to be
followed regarding the sale of unmarketable parcels. The non-marketable parcel sale
process in the Proposed Constitution is more closely aligned with the existing Listing Rule
requirements.
Notice and conduct of
general meetings5
The notice requirements for general meetings and the conduct of general meetings have
been set out more clearly and succinctly in the Proposed Constitution.

1 Rule 5.8. References to rules are references to the rules in the Proposed Constitution.

2 Rule 6.

3 Rule 7.3

4 Rule 8.

5 Rule 9.

IMAGE RESOURCES NL Notice of Annual General Meeting 29 May 2020

Material Change
Summary
The Proposed Constitution provides that, unless the Corporations Act provides otherwise,
no person may move any amendment to a proposed resolution the terms of which are set
out in the notice calling the meeting or a document which relates to such a resolution except
with the approval of the Directors or the chair. The existing Constitution is silent on this.
As with the existing Constitution, the Board has the flexibility to determine that any notice
regarding the change of venue or postponement or cancellation of a general meeting is to
be provided to shareholders either:
  • through a notice given to ASX;

  • through a newspaper advertisement; or

  • in any other way subject to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

The Proposed Constitution also provides that if any technical difficulty occurs which
precludes a member from having a reasonable opportunity to participate in a general
meeting at two or more places, the chair may either adjourn the meeting until the technology
gives members a reasonable opportunity to participate or continue the meeting. No member
may object to the meeting being held or continuing in that case. The existing Constitution is
silent on this.
Other minor amendments have been made in order to further facilitate the orderly and
proper conduct of general meetings.
Quorum at general Quorum requirements have been further clarified in the Proposed Constitution. The
meetings6 clarifications include that a member placing a direct vote (i.e. by post, facsimile or other
electronic means) is not taken into account in determining quorum.
Proxies7 Provisions are included in the Proposed Constitution that allow the Company to seek
clarification and, when authorised, amend proxy instructions received from a Shareholder.
The existing Constitution is silent on this.
Direct voting8 The Proposed Constitution permits the Board to introduce ‘direct voting’, which enables
Shareholders to vote directly on resolutions by submitting their votes electronically or by
other means at that general meeting. Direct voting allows Shareholders to vote on
resolutions to be considered at a meeting without the need to physically attend the meeting
or appoint a proxy or other representative. The Directors will have absolute discretion as to
how such direct votes may occur. The existing constitution does not allow for direct voting.
As noted above, under the Proposed Constitution, any Shareholder placing a direct vote is
not taken into account in determining a quorum for that meeting.
Right to demand poll9 The Proposed Constitution provides, amongst other things, that members with at least 5%
of the votes that may be cast on a resolution may demand a poll, as opposed to the existing
Constitution which provides that members with at least 10% of the votes may demand a
poll. This change makes it easier for minor Shareholders to demand voting by a poll.
Directors10 There are a number of differences between the existing Constitution and Proposed
Constitution in relation to the provisions relating to Directors.
Rules relating to the election of Directors have been amended so that they are more closely
aligned with the Listing Rules. In particular:

6 Rule 10.1.

7 Rule 11.

8 Rule 12.5.

9 Rule 12.10.

10 Rule 13.

  • 15 -

IMAGE RESOURCES NL Notice of Annual General Meeting 29 May 2020

Material Change
Summary

directors who are appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board
(other than a managing director) must not hold office without re-election past the
first annual general meeting after their appointment; and

other Directors must not hold office without re-election for more than three years
or past the third annual general meeting after they were last elected (whichever is
longer).
In relation to the second bullet point above, the existing Constitution provides that, at the
Company’s annual general meeting each year, one-third of the Directors (except the
Managing Director) for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the
number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in the case of doubt), must retire. The
amendments are aimed at simplifying Director rotation.
Director nomination by
members11
The Proposed Constitution provides that where a member is intending to nominate a person
for election as a Director at a general meeting, they must give the Company notice of that
intention at least 45 business days before the meeting but not more than 90 business days
before the meeting. Under the existing Constitution, Director nominations must be received
no later than 30 business days before the meeting.
This change recognises the need to give 28 clear days’ notice of the general meeting and
the time required for printing and distribution of a notice of meeting along with the
administrative difficulty of having a long nominations period.
Removal of Directors12
The Proposed Constitution is more comprehensive on the procedure for the removal of
Directors.
The existing Constitution provides that, when a person has been removed as a Director by
a resolution of the Company and a person is appointed in their place, the person appointed
holds office during such time only as the Director in whose place he or she is appointed
would have held office. The Proposed Constitution does not contain an equivalent provision
and therefore a director appointed in such circumstances will be treated in the same manner
as any other Director who is appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board.
Under the Proposed Constitution, a person ceases to be a Director if the person is absent
from Board meetings for a continuous period of six consecutive months without leave of
absence from the Directors and a majority of the other Directors have not, within 10 business
days of having been given a notice by the secretary giving details of the absence, resolved
that a leave of absence be granted. In particular, the Proposed Constitution provides that a
person will not be deemed to cease as a Director if they are absent from the office of director
by virtue of a Board approved leave of absence.
The existing Constitution provides that a person automatically ceases to be a Director if the
Director fails to attend 3 consecutive Board meetings without special leave of absence from
the Board and the Directors thereupon declare his or her seat to be vacant.
Director
remuneration13
The proposed rules relating to remuneration of non-executive Directors are broadly in line
with the existing Constitution. As with the existing Constitution, under the Proposed
Constitution, the total annual fees of non-executive Directors must not exceed the aggregate
fixed by the Company in general meeting. The existing limit set at the Company’s 2009 AGM
of $300,000 per annum shall remain in place unless Resolution 4 is approved by
Shareholders. If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders, the limit will increase by
$200,000 to $500,000 per annum. Refer to Resolution 4 and section 4 of this Explanatory
Memorandum for more information.

12 Rule 13.5.

13 Rule 13.9.

IMAGE RESOURCES NL Notice of Annual General Meeting 29 May 2020

Material Change
Summary
Alternate Directors14
The existing Constitution provides that a managing director may not appoint an alternate to
act as managing director. The Proposed Constitution does not contain this restriction and
provides that a Director may, with the approval of a majority of the other Directors, appoint
a person to be the Director’s alternate for such period and on such terms as the Director
decides.
Dividends15
Following amendments to the Corporations Act, companies are no longer restricted to
paying dividends out of profits. The Proposed Constitution will give the Directors the
flexibility to resolve to pay a dividend out of any available source permitted by law.
Further, the Proposed Constitution provides that, if a dividend is paid but remains unclaimed
for more than 11 months, the Company can, subject to compliance with applicable law,
reinvest that amount, after deducting reasonable expenses, into Shares in the Company on
behalf of and in the name of the Shareholder entitled to the dividend. The existing
Constitution provides that any declared but unclaimed dividends can be invested for the
benefit of the Company until claimed or until required to be dealt with in accordance with
any law relating to unclaimed money.
The Proposed Constitution expands the wording of the existing Constitution regarding
ancillary powers of Directors in relation to dividends.
Indemnity
and
insurance16
The Proposed Constitution’s indemnity and insurance provisions will extend to officers,
Directors and secretaries of the Company and its subsidiaries. The equivalent provision in
the existing Constitution provides that the Directors can elect whether or not they consider
it appropriate that the Company indemnifies officers of a related body corporate of the
Company.
Proportional takeover
provision17
Schedule 1 of the Proposed Constitution contains a proportional takeover provision.
Resolution 7 does not include the approval of proposed Schedule 1. Instead, the proposed
Schedule 1 will require a separate approval which is contained in Resolution 8. The
explanatory notes associated with this Schedule 1 are set out below in section 8 of the
Explanatory Memorandum.
General
References to applicable legislation and rules have been updated.
Relevant definitions have been updated to reflect current terminology and the various
changes to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules. Where possible the Proposed
Constitution relies on terms defined in the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

7.3 Copies of Proposed Constitution

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary by email to [email protected]. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

7.4 Directors’ recommendation

Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors consider Resolution 7 to be in the interests of the Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders adopt the Proposed Constitution by voting in favour of Resolution 7.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

IMAGE RESOURCES NL Notice of Annual General Meeting 29 May 2020

8. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

8.1 General

Resolution 8 proposes to approve the insertion of a new Schedule 1 “Proportional Takeovers” as set out in Annexure C to this Notice ( Provisions ) in the Proposed Constitution and, failing approval of the Proposed Constitution under Resolution 7, in the existing Constitution in place of Schedule 1.

The Provisions have the effect that transfers of shares acquired under a proportional takeover bid will not be registered unless a resolution approving the bid is passed by holders of the bid class securities. In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Provisions would cease to operate three years after their adoption unless members resolve by special resolution to renew them in accordance with the statutory procedure.

Under the existing Constitution, similar provisions were last approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company in 2017 by amending the Constitution then in place accordingly. However, those provisions will cease to operate at the end of May 2020 and, by operation of section 648G(3) of the Corporations Act, shall be omitted from the existing Constitution.

If this Resolution 8 is passed and:

  • (a) Resolution 7 is passed and the Proposed Constitution adopted, the Provisions will be incorporated into the Proposed Constitution as Schedule 1 and will operate for three years after their adoption under the Proposed Constitution; or

  • (b) Resolution 7 is not passed, the Provisions will be incorporated into the existing Constitution in place of Schedule 1 and will also operate for a period of three years after their adoption.

Resolution 8 is a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.

8.2 Impact of the Provisions

The Provisions will only apply to a proportional takeover offer - that is, to takeover offers for less than 100% of each holder’s holding. The Provisions will have no application to takeover bids where an offer is made for all of the securities in a class of securities.

If the Provisions are approved and a proportional takeover bid is made for securities of the Company, the Directors will be required to call a meeting of holders of bid class securities to vote on a resolution to approve that bid. The Directors will breach the Corporations Act if they fail to ensure the resolution is put to affected security holders. Each security holder affected will be entitled to vote (except for the bidder and persons associated with the bidder, who may not vote). Approval of the bid will require a simple majority of the votes cast.

The meeting must be held at least 14 days before offers close under the bid, so that holders should know the result of the voting before they have to make up their minds whether or not to accept for their own securities. However, if no resolution is voted on before that deadline, the resolution will be deemed to have passed.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Provisions will again cease to operate three years after their adoption unless members resolve by special resolution to renew them in accordance with the statutory procedure.

As at the date of this Notice, the Directors are not aware of any proposal by a person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Further, no takeover bids for the Company were made, either proportional or otherwise, while the proportional takeover provisions were previously in effect. The Directors are not aware of any potential takeover bid that was discouraged by the previous inclusion of proportional takeover provisions in the Company’s Constitution.

8.3 Advantages of the Provisions for Shareholders

The Provisions would enable Shareholders to act in a cohesive manner and thereby avoid the coercion of Shareholders that arises where they believe the offer to be inadequate, but nevertheless accept through fear that other Shareholders will accept.

The Provisions would enable Shareholders, by combining together, to veto a change of control that would lock them into a minority position.

The existence of the approval machinery in the Company’s Constitution would make it more probable that any takeover bid will be a full bid for the whole shareholding of each member, so that Shareholders may have the opportunity of disposing of all their shares rather than only a proportion of their shares.

If a proportional takeover bid should be made, the existence of the approval procedure will make it more probable that a bidder will set its offer price at a level that will be attractive to the Shareholders who vote.

8.4 Disadvantages of the Provisions for Shareholders

By placing obstacles in the way of proportional takeover bids, the Provisions may tend to discourage proportional takeover bids, thus reducing the opportunity for Shareholders to sell a portion of their holding.

It is possible (though, in the opinion of the Board, unlikely) that the existence of the Provisions might have an adverse effect on the market value of the Company’s Shares by making a proportional takeover bid less likely and thereby reducing any takeover speculation element in the Share price.

An individual Shareholder who wishes to accept a proportional takeover bid will be unable to sell to the bidder unless a majority of Shareholders favour the proportional takeover bid.

8.5 Advantages and disadvantages of the Provisions for the Directors

If the Directors consider that a proportional takeover bid should be opposed, they will be assisted in preventing the bidder from securing control of the Company if the bidder needs a majority of the votes cast by the independent Shareholders before it can succeed.

On the other hand, under the proposal, if a proportional takeover bid is commenced, the Directors must call a meeting to seek the Shareholders’ views. The Directors must do so even though they believe that the bid should be accepted.

Under the approval procedure, the most effective view on the proportional takeover bid will become the view expressed by the vote of the Shareholders themselves at the meeting.

8.6 Reasons for proposing the Resolution

Given the advantages of the Provisions for Shareholders outlined above, the Directors consider that Shareholders should have the opportunity to consider including provisions in the Company’s Constitution that require Shareholder approval for proportional takeover bids.

The Directors consider that the advantages associated with having the Provisions included in the Company’s Constitution outweigh the disadvantages. They consider that Shareholders should have the power to prevent the control of the Company from passing to a bidder without it making a bid for all the bid class shares. They believe that the approval procedure is the best available for Shareholders to ensure that they are not forced to accept a proportional offer even though they do not wish the bidder to obtain control of the Company.

8.7 Directors’ recommendation

Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors consider Resolution 8 to be in the interests of the Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders adopt the proportional takeover provisions by voting in favour of Resolution 8.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 8.
