RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

General

On 12 July 2017, the Company announced to ASX a placement of 33,648,356 Shares at an issue price of $0.09 per Share to qualified institutional and sophisticated investors to raise $3,028,352 (before costs). 15,870,578 Shares were issued on 17 July 2017 and 17,777,778 Shares were issued on 1 August 2017.

The funds raised from the July 2017 Placement Shares have been applied to early works related to securing certain longer lead items for the continued advancement of the Company’s Boonanarring Project, miscellaneous site preparation surveys and geotechnical work, EPCM planning, land purchase option fees and general working capital.

The placement was made under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity and the Company now seeks, pursuant to Resolution 1 of the Notice, to ratify the allotment and issue of the July 2017 Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval provided the issue did not breach the threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1. The purpose and effect of such a ratification is to restore a company’s discretionary power to issue further shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 without requiring shareholder approval.

The Company proposes Resolution 1 to ratify a previous issue of securities in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the securities the subject of Resolution 1 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote on it.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5.

  • (a) 33,648,356 Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (d) The July 2017 Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are not related parties of the Company.

  • (e) The funds raised from this issue were applied to early works related to securing certain longer lead items for the continued advancement of the Company’s Boonanarring Project, miscellaneous site preparation surveys and geotechnical work, EPCM planning, land purchase option fees and general working capital.

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

Directors’ recommendation

Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum, all the Directors consider that Resolution 1 is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The placement was significantly oversubscribed and the funds raised will be applied to early works related to planning and securing certain longer lead items for the continued advancement of the Company’s Boonanarring Project, as well as project finance activities, including due diligence and legal documentation, and general working capital.

The passing of Resolutions 1 and 2 will return the Directors’ ability to issue new Shares to the maximum permitted by the ASX Listing Rules without requiring Shareholder approval.

RESOLUTION 3 – SHARE PLACEMENT FACILITY

Background

The Company has been investigating and actively seeking project finance to support the development of its 100% owned high-grade Boonanarring mineral sands project in North Perth Basin in WA ( Project ). The finance being sought is a traditional mix of debt and equity, with approximately 60% of total project financing expected to be provided by way of project debt.

The Company entered into the Asset Sale Agreement in February 2016 to acquire a wet concentration plant and ancillary mining and processing equipment for the processing of ore, amongst other transactions. As consideration for those transactions, the Company entered into the Share Consideration Deed, which provided for the issue of Shares to Murray Zircon Pty Ltd at completion, as well as the issue of deferred Shares on a decision to mine. The transactions were approved by Shareholders at the Company’s general meeting held on 12 May 2016 and the Asset Sale Agreement completed in June 2016. Refer to the Company’s notice of meeting dated 5 April 2016 for more details on the transactions.

IMAGE RESOURCES NL

Notice of General Meeting 13 February 2018

Under the terms of the Share Consideration Deed, a decision to mine is a decision approved by a majority of the Board to incur the required costs in connection with the construction of a mining and processing operation required to commence commercial production at one or more of the Company’s projects on the Company’s tenements in circumstances where:

  • (a) as part of that decision the Board has approved a target date for the commencement of commercial production from the relevant project that must be no later than 18 months after the date the decision is made; and

  • (b) the Company has received all authorisations necessary or desirable in relation to the financing, construction and commencement of mining, financing facilities in place and available for drawdown which are sufficient to fund all of the anticipated costs to take the project through to full-capacity production and negotiated, finalised and prepared for execution all material contracts necessary or desirable for the construction and commencement of mining, and the production of zircon products (or any other valuable heavy or other mineral) from the project or projects,

provided that no such authorisation, funding agreement (including drawdown under any financing facility) or material contract (or execution of it) is conditional on the completion of due diligence by the counterparty to that arrangement or the completion of equity funding ( Decision to Mine ).

The Company has been operating to a tight, previously published timeframe and was previously aiming to make the Decision to Mine for the Project by the end of December 2017. The Company has recently advised the market that the Decision to Mine has been rescheduled to the first quarter of 2018 (refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 27 November 2017). As set out above, before the Decision to Mine can be made the Company must have, among other things, ‘…financing facilities in place and available for drawdown which are sufficient to fund all of the anticipated costs to take the project through to full-capacity production…”. This means, among other things, that the equity portion of the financing must be complete, with funds received, prior to the Decision to Mine being made.

The Company wishes to put in place a Share placement facility to provide adequate flexibility to raise the equity portion of the expected Project finance requirements concurrently with the expected closure of the debt finance and immediately prior to the Decision to Mine. To that end, and in order to be able to make the Decision to Mine as close as possible to the published time frame, the Company will be seeking Shareholder approval for the Share Placement Facility of up to 300 million Shares at the Issue Price (10 cents or not less than 80% of the VWAP of Shares, calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded on the ASX before the day on which the issue is made, whichever is the higher).

The Company intends for the Share Placement Facility to be implemented and completed as soon as practicable after the Meeting. However, as equity capital markets can be unpredictable, the full 3 month period to issue the Shares (as allowed by Listing Rule 7.3.2) may be required.

It is the present desire of four Directors (Messrs Besley, Thomas, Sakalidis and Soo) to participate in the proposed capital raising by subscribing for new shares. Any such participation by Directors will be subject to (among other things) shareholder approval in accordance with the Listing Rules, which is unable to be obtained until such time as the share price, at which the proposed capital raising will be conducted, is settled. Should the Company settle the share price at which the capital raising will be conducted in a reasonable time prior to the date of this Meeting, it is the Company’s intention to include additional resolutions and explanatory information by way of addendum to this Notice such that resolutions to approve the issue of securities to Directors can be considered by Shareholders at this Meeting. If the Company proceeds to issue such addendum, full details will be supplied including all information prescribed by the Listing Rules for such resolutions.

General

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Share Placement Facility of up to 300,000,000 Shares to raise the equity portion of the expected Project finance requirements.

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing, or agreeing to issue, securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period, without the prior approval of its shareholders (subject to certain exceptions). The issue of all the Share Placement Facility Shares would require the Company to issue securities in excess of this 15% threshold and accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 7.1 for the Share Placement Facility.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote on it.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3.

  • (a) The maximum number of securities that may be issued under the Share Placement Facility is 300,000,000 Shares.

  • 7 -

Notice of General Meeting 13 February 2018

IMAGE RESOURCES NL

  • (b) Any Shares issued in accordance with Resolution 3 will be allotted and issued within 3 months from the date of the Meeting (or such later date as approved by the ASX).

  • (c) The Shares under the Share Placement Facility will be issued at a price which is 10 cents or not less than 80% of the VWAP of Shares, calculated over the 5 days on which sales in Shares were recorded on the ASX before the day on which the issue is made, whichever is the higher.

  • (d) As at the date of this Notice, there has been no decision by the Directors to issue any Shares. Accordingly, the names of any allottees or proposed allottees are not known. However, any issue will be restricted to investors who are exempt under section 708 of the Corporations Act. No Shares will be issued to Directors or other related parties.

  • (e) Any Shares issued pursuant to Resolution 3 will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue in the Company.

  • (f) Funds raised by the issue of any Shares under the Share Placement Facility will be used to fund the expected Project finance requirements to advance the Company’s Boonanarring Project through the construction, commissioning and initial production phases.

  • (g) Any issue of Shares under the Share Placement Facility will be made as a single allotment.

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

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 and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Directors have formed this view as the passing of this Resolution will provide adequate flexibility to raise the equity portion of the expected Project finance requirements to advance the Company’s Boonanarring Project through the construction, commissioning and initial production phases.

RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN

General

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval in accordance with Exception 9(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 when the notice of meeting contains or is accompanied by a summary of the terms of the employee incentive scheme (refer to Annexure A).

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 4 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.

As the Employee Share Plan is a new scheme, no securities have previously been issued under the Employee Share Plan.

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.

Notice of General Meeting 13 February 2018

Directors' recommendation

Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. 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.

RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN

General

(a) Employee share scheme buy-back

Section 257B(1) of the Corporations Act sets out the procedure for various forms of share buy-back, including an 'employee share scheme buy-back'. In order for the Company to undertake a buy-back of Shares under the Employee Share Plan (e.g. in situations where Shares are forfeited in accordance with the terms of issue) using the employee share scheme buy-back procedure under the Corporations Act, the Employee Share Plan must be approved by Shareholders.

Accordingly, Shareholders are asked to approve the Employee Share Plan to empower the Company to undertake a buy-back of Shares under the Plan using the employee share scheme buy-back procedure if need be.

(b) Enable the Company to take security over its own Shares

Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company taking security over shares in itself or in a company that controls it, unless one of the exceptions in subsections 259B(2) or 259B(3) applies. Section 259B(2) provides that a company may take security over shares in itself under an employee share scheme that has been approved by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the company.

Shareholders are asked to approve the Employee Share Plan in order for the Board to have 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) Financial assistance

Section 260A of the Corporations Act provides that a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the company or a holding company of the company only if:

  • (i) giving the assistance does not materially prejudice the interests of the company or its shareholders of the company's ability to pay its creditors;

  • (ii) the assistance is approved by shareholders under section 260B; or

  • (iii) the assistance is exempted under 260C.

Section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act provides for certain specific instances of exempted financial assistance, including a special exemption for employee share schemes that have been approved by a resolution passed at a general meeting of a company.

As an integral feature of the Employee Share Plan, the Company will provide financial assistance to participants in the form of loans, which will take the form of interest free and fee-free, limited recourse loans.

Whilst the Board does not believe that the provision of financial assistance to participants to enable them to participate in the Employee Share Plan will materially prejudice the interests of the Company or its Shareholders or the Company's ability to pay its creditors, the Board has recommended that Shareholder approval be sought to approve the Employee Share Plan to ensure that the Employee Share Plan qualifies for the special exemption under section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act.

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 relevant Directors have formed this view as the passing of this Resolution will allow the Company to utilise all the features of the Employee Share Plan to reward and incentivise eligible participants.

ANNEXURE A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Board proposes to adopt the Employee Share Plan to allow eligible participants to be issued Shares. The principal terms of the Employee Share Plan are summarised below.

1. Background

Under the Employee Share Plan, an Eligible Employee (see section 3) of the Company and its related bodies corporate (Group) may be offered the opportunity to acquire shares in the Company (Shares) on the basis the Company loans the participant an amount equal to the purchase price for those Shares.

2. Purpose

The purpose of the Employee Share Plan is to (among other things):

  • (a) provide Eligible Employees with an opportunity to share in the growth in value of the Company and to encourage them to improve the performance of the Group and the Company's return to Shareholders; and

  • (b) enable the Group to retain and attract skilled and experienced employees and provide them with the motivation to make the Group more successful.

3. Eligibility

  • 3.1 Employees of the Group will be selected by the Company's board or a committee of the Company's board (Board) as entitled to participate in the Employee Share Plan (Eligible Employees).

  • 3.2 Each Eligible Employee will be individually invited to participate in the Employee Share Plan.

4. Acceptance

In order to accept an invitation to participate in the Employee Share Plan, an Eligible Employee must complete, sign and return the application form accompanying their invitation.

5. Maximum number of Shares to be acquired

The maximum number of Shares that an Eligible Employee may be issued with under the Employee Share Plan will be set out in the invitation. The Board may not issue Shares under the Employee Share Plan if the total number of securities that would be issued under the Employee Share Plan during the previous 3 years exceeds 5% of the total number of issued securities in that class as at the date of the offer.

6. Issue price of Shares and Loan

  • 6.1 The price at which Shares will be issued to an Eligible Employee under the Employee Share Plan will be determined by the Board and set out in the invitation.

  • 6.2 The Company will advance (Loan) to the Eligible Employee the amount to be paid to acquire Shares under the Employee Share Plan under a loan agreement (Loan Agreement) to be entered by the Eligible Employee .

7. Interest payable on the Loan

There will be no interest or fees payable on the Loan.

8. Repayment of Loan

8.1 If any dividends are declared and paid on the Shares, or an Eligible Employee disposes of any Shares, the dividend or proceeds of sale must, to the extent necessary, be applied to repay the balance of the Loan.

  • 8.2 An Eligible Employee must immediately repay the balance of the Loan on the earlier of the date:

  • (a) they cease to be employed by the Group;

  • (b) they fail to pay when due any money they are liable to pay under or in connection with the Loan;

  • (c) they fail to comply with any of their other obligations under the Employee Share Plan or the Loan Agreement;

  • (d) they commit an act of bankruptcy; or

  • (e) they die or become incapable of managing their affairs.

9. Limited Recourse

Subject to condition 8.1, the only recourse that the Company has is against the Shares issued to the Eligible Participant under the Employee Share Plan. That is, the Company has no other right to make a claim against the Eligible Participant for failure to repay the Loan. It may only buyback the Shares and the consideration for the buyback will be used to repay the Loan.

10. Rights as a Shareholder

Once the Shares are issued to an Eligible Participant, they will have the same rights as other Shareholders (such as voting or dividend rights, subject to condition 8.1 above).

11. Dealings with Shares

An Eligible Employee must not sell or transfer any Share acquired by them under the Employee Share Plan, unless:

(a) the Board gives its prior written approval for the sale; and

  • (b) the sale is made in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

The Company may enter into arrangements with its share registry to enforce these transfer restrictions, including imposing a holding lock on the Shares.

12. Conditions

The Shares may be issued subject to certain conditions determined by the Board and set out in the invitation to participate in the Employee Share Plan.

13. Employment

  • 13.1 The Loan Agreement, the Employee Share Plan, the invitation and any other relevant documents, and the Eligible Employee's participation in the Plan, does not form part of any employment contract.

  • 13.2 Participation in the Employee Share Plan will not in any way affect an Eligible Employee's rights and obligations under the terms under which they are employed.

14. Tax

  • 14.1 An Eligible Employee should seek independent advice as to the taxation implications arising from participating in the Employee Share Plan. Due to the complex nature of the taxation laws and the fact that the consequences will depend on an Eligible Employee's particular circumstances, the Company is unable to provide individual advice as to the taxation implications of participation.

  • 14.2 Any advice given by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Employee Share Plan (if any) is and shall be general in nature only. An Eligible Employee should consider obtaining financial advice from an independent person licensed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission to give that advice. In addition, an Eligible Employee should consult a tax adviser about the consequences of participation in the Employee Share Plan.
