Financial Reports
To receive and consider the annual Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2011 consisting of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows, the Directors’ Report and the Independent Audit Report.
The Financial Statements are contained in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report which has been sent to requesting shareholders and is available on the Company’s website www.paradigmmetals.com.au. Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions of the Directors and the Auditor in relation to these Financial Statements.
Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report (ordinary resolution).
To receive and consider the Remuneration Report and, if thought fit, to pass the following resolution as an ordinary resolution:
“That the Remuneration Report be adopted.”
Voting Exclusion Pursuant to Section 250OR of the Corporations Act 2001 a vote on this resolution must not be cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of any member of the key management personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the remuneration report or a closely related party of such a member. However, a person aforesaid may cast a vote on the resolution if the person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the proposed resolution and the vote is not cast on behalf of a person aforesaid.
Explanation
The Remuneration Report is a section of the Directors’ Report contained in the 2011 Annual Report. It is a requirement of the Corporations Act that the Report be provided to shareholders and voted upon by a vote which is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. If 25% or more of votes which are cast are voted against the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGM’s, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGM’s 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.
Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Mr John Gaskell as a Director (ordinary resolution). To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following resolution as an ordinary resolution:
“That Mr John Gaskell, who retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution of the Company and being eligible and offers himself for re-election, be re-elected a Director of the Company.”
Explanation
Details of Mr Gaskell’s qualifications and experience are contained in the Annual Report.
2
Resolution 3 – Approval of Future Placements (ordinary resolution).
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following resolution as an ordinary resolution:
“That for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 of the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange and for all other purposes, the Company approves and authorises the placement by Directors of up to a number of shares equal to 15% of the Company’s total issued shares immediately prior to such placement to two or more investors not later than 3 months after the date of this meeting, each share to be issued at not less than 80% of the volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares on the ASX calculated over the last 5 days on which sales of the Company’s shares were recorded prior to the date on which such share is issued.”
Voting Exclusion For the purpose of this Resolution, the Company will in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Limited, disregard any votes cast on the Resolution by any person who may participate in the proposed placements or any associate of any such person. However the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the proxy form or if it is cast by a person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with a direction on a proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
Explanation
The Company may require additional working capital in the next 6 months, particularly to pursue its gold and copper-gold exploration targets.
One possible structure for some or all of this funding is placements to interested sophisticated and institutional investors. This resolution would enable the Directors to place up to 15% of the Company’s then issued capital (currently 22,332,223 shares) in the 3 months after this meeting .
If any placement is made under this Resolution, the pricing will be at not less than 80% of the volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares on the ASX calculated over the last 5 days on which sales of PDM shares were recorded prior to the date on which such share is issued. Clearly, the Directors will seek to maximise the placement price and in this context, over the last 3 months, the Company’s closing share price on the ASX has ranged from a low of 1.4 cents to a high of 2.8 cents.
The proposed allottees are, of course, not yet known but will necessarily be sophisticated or professional investors who are in a position to subscribe for shares without a disclosure document. No related party will participate in a placement made under the authority of this Resolution. In addition, all shareholders who vote on this Resolution (and their associates) will be prohibited from subscribing for any shares to be placed under this Resolution. Accordingly, all shareholders who intend (or have associates that intend) to subscribe for any new shares which may be offered pursuant to this Resolution should abstain from voting.
3
The shares to be issued will be ordinary fully paid shares ranking equally in all respects with the Company’s current issued shares. ASX quotation will be sought for the shares which are issued under the authority of this resolution. The funds raised will be used as working capital to continue work on the prospects currently being explored and to possibly widen the exploration effort to additional prospective areas. It is anticipated that a number of allotments will be made progressively. The effect of this approval will be that the Company’s capacity to issue additional shares in the next 12 months up to 15% of its capital in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will not be diminished by the proposed placements.
By order of the Board
