How to vote
Shareholders can vote by either:
-
attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or
-
appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice and by submitting their Proxy Form online, in person, by post, by email or by facsimile.
Voting in person or by attorney
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded. A certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.
Voting by a corporation
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. Written proof of the representative’s appointment (including any authority under which it is signed) must be lodged with, or presented to the Company before the Meeting.
Voting by proxy
-
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.
-
The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).
-
A proxy need not be a Shareholder. The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
-
If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. However, where a Restricted Voter is appointed as a proxy, the proxy may only vote on Resolutions 1 and 4 to 7 if the proxy is the Chairman of the Meeting and the appointment expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
-
If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.
-
A Shareholder who returns their Proxy Form with a direction how to vote, but does not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned with a direction how to vote, but the nominated proxy (who is not Chairman of the Meeting) does not attend the Meeting or does not vote on the relevant Resolution(s), the Chairman of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote on a poll in accordance with any instructions.
-
Proxy appointments in favour of the Chairman of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice. However, in exceptional circumstances, the Chairman of the Meeting may change his voting intention, in which case an ASX announcement will be made.
-
Proxies must be received by 12.30pm (WST) on 28 November 2018 . Proxies received after this time will be invalid. Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:

Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Company.
Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Memorandum. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Memorandum.
Financial Reports
The Board is required to lay before the Meeting the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2018, together with the Directors' report (including the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor's Report on the financial report. No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions, and to make comments on the reports and on the management of the Company.
The Chairman will also give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor or the Auditor’s representative questions relevant to: the conduct of the audit; the preparation and content of the independent audit report; the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
The Chairman will also allow a reasonable opportunity for the Auditor or their representative to answer any written questions submitted to the Auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act.
A copy of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report is available on the ASX website or at http://oroverde.com.au/index.php/annual-reports/.
Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2018 Annual Report be adopted.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any equity based compensation.
Shareholders are entitled to vote on the question as to whether the Remuneration Report is to be adopted. However, the vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Chairman will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second annual general meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the applicable Directors’ Report was approved, other than any Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.
The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s 2017 annual general meeting held on 22 November 2017. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.

The members of the Board (other than Mr Dickson) support the re-election of Mr Dickson and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolution 3 – Re-election of Dr Bradford Farrell as a Director
Pursuant to Clause 13.2 of the Company's Constitution, Bradford Farrell, being a Director, retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.
Dr Farrell has over 40 years’ experience in resource exploration and senior project management and evaluation.

The members of the Board (other than Dr Farrell) support the re-election of Dr Farrell and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
Resolutions 4 to 7 – Approval to issue Shares to Directors under Directors’ Share Plan
In 2015, the Board established the Directors’ Share Plan, to enable to the Company to issue Shares to Directors in lieu of Directors’ fees, in order to retain cash reserves.
Resolutions 4 to 7 inclusive seek Shareholder approval for the Company to issue an aggregate of up to $130,000 worth of Shares to Directors (or their nominee(s)), in lieu of Directors’ fees for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019 ( Director Shares ). The Director Shares will be issued within 12-months of the date of the Meeting, for each of the quarters ended 30 September 2018, 31 December 2018, 31 March 2019 and 30 June 2019 subject to the relevant Director agreeing to be paid all or part of his fees by way of the issue of Director Shares, rather than cash consideration.
The Director Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration, but will be issued at a deemed issue price that will be not less than volume weighted average sale price of Shares on ASX during the 90 days prior to the expiration of the
Oro Verde Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018
2
relevant quarter in which the fees were incurred.
The actual number of Director Shares issued will depend on the deemed issue price at the time the Director Shares are issued and who the Director Shares are issued to (that is, which Directors agree to all or part of their Director fees being satisfied by the issue of Director Shares, rather than in cash). However, the maximum number of Director Shares that may be issued under Resolutions 4 to 7 is 26,000,000, with the maximum number for each Director set out in the table below.
Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval by ordinary resolution for any issue of securities by a listed company to a related party under an employee incentive scheme. Accordingly, Shareholders are required to approve the proposed issue of Director Shares under the Directors’ Share Plan to the Directors.
The following information in relation to the Director Shares it is proposed be issued to the Directors the subject of Resolutions 4 to 7 inclusive is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15:

Anthony Rovira, a Director, or his nominee(s). |
Brett Dickson, a Director, or his nominee(s). |
| Maximum number of securities that may be acquired, including the formula for calculating the number of securities to be issued |
The maximum number of Director Shares that may be issued to each Director under each of Resolutions 4 to 7 is set out below. The number of Director Shares issued under each of Resolutions 4 to 78 will be determined by dividing the Director fee that the Company has agreed to pay each Director (as set out below) by the deemed issue price which will be calculated in accordance with the formula set out under the heading “Price” in this table below. Maximum number of Director Shares that may be issued: 8,000,000 Value of Director fees: $40,000 Maximum number of Director Shares that may be issued: 6,000,000 Value of Director fees: $30,000 Maximum number of Director Shares that may be issued: 6,000,000 Value of Director fees: $30,000 Maximum number of Director Shares that may be issued: 6,000,000 Value of Director fees: $30,000 |
|||
| Price | The Director Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration, as they will be issued in lieu of fees for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019. The Director Shares will have a deemed issue price that is not less than the volume weighted average sale price of Shares on ASX during the 90 days before the expiration of the corresponding calendar quarter in which the Directors’ fees were incurred. |
|||

Oro Verde Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018

The Director Shares will be issued after each of the quarters ended 30 September 2018, 31 December 2018, 31 March 2019 and 30 June 2019, according to the fees owing to each of the Directors at that time, and subject to the Director agreeing to be paid all or part of their fees by way of the issue of Director Shares, rather than cash consideration. However, in relation to the fees incurred for the quarter ended 30 September 2018, those Director Shares will be issued as soon as practicable after the Meeting to those Directors who agree to be paid all or part of their fees for that quarter by way of the issue of Director Shares, rather than cash consideration.
If approval is given for the issue of the Director Shares under Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, each of the Directors is a related party of the Company.
One of the nominated exceptions referred to in paragraph (a) above is where the financial benefit is remuneration to a related party as an officer or employee of the company, and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the public company, and the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment). As the proposed issue of Director Shares to each of the Directors replaces the payment of fees in cash to each Director for a twelve-month period, the Board considers that the issue of the Director Shares is a benefit that constitutes reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
Resolution 8 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity
Background
In addition to a company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, an “eligible entity” which has obtained Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A via a special resolution may issue, or agree to issue, Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting at which the approval is sought ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ).
An entity will be an “eligible entity” able to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A if:
-
(a) the entity has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and
-
(b) the entity is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index.
The Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $6.22 million as at 15 October 2018 and is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholders’ approval to issue, or agree to issue, additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. The approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity provides greater flexibility for the Board to issue, or agree to issue, Shares in the 12-month period following the Meeting. It is anticipated that funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be applied towards the Company’s exploration activities, the acquisition of new assets (should suitable assets be found), administration costs and general working capital.
If passed, Resolution 8 will allow the Company to issue, or agree to issue, Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.1A
Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has quoted Shares on issue. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has 1,555,678,533 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholders
Oro Verde Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018

approving Resolution 8, 155,567,853 Equity Securities may be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. That formula is:
(A x D) – E
A
is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of Shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid Shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval; and
-
(d) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that ‘A’ is 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 Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
Shareholders will be kept fully informed of any issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity as the Company will disclose to the market at the time of issue the specific information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A (such as details of dilution of existing Shareholders) in addition to information required by Listing Rule 7.1A.4, Appendix 3B and any other applicable listing rules. The table below demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

Note : The table above assumes:
(a) No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
(b) The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.
(c) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, 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, not under the 15% placement

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
Oro Verde Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018

order to be passed.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
The following information in relation to the Shares proposed to be issued is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A:
| Minimum price | The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in the class were recorded immediately before: (a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or (b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within five Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued. |
|---|---|
| Potential risk of economic and voting dilution |
If Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, Shareholders who do not participate (either because they are not invited to participate or because they elect not to participate) in any such issue, will have their existing interest and voting power in the Company diluted. There is also a risk that: (a) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; (b) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities; or (c) the Equity Securities may be issued for non-cash consideration, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. The table above on page 5 shows the dilution of existing Shareholders upon the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, using different variables for the number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’ (as defined in Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is noted that variable ‘A’ is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities. The table shows: (a) examples of where variable ‘A’ is at its current level, and where variable ‘A’ has increased by 50% and by 100%; (b) examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market price as at close of trade on 15 October 2018, being $0.004, (current market price), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and (c) that the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are issued. |
| Timing of potential issues | Approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be valid during the period (Additional Placement Period) from the date of the Meeting and will expire on the earlier of: (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting; and (b) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking). |
| Purpose of potential issues | The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes: (a) If Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, the Company intends to use the funds for exploration activities, the acquisition of new assets (should suitable assets be found), administration costs and general working capital; and (b) If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration to acquire access to strategic tenements or assets identified by the Company to further existing projects and future growth. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Companywillcomplywiththeminimum issue pricelimitation |

| under Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will release the valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market. The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.3 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities. |
|
|---|---|
| Allocation policy | The identity of the persons to whom Shares will be issued is not yet known and will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to market conditions at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities, including consideration of matters including, but not limited to: (a) the ability of the Company to raise funds at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and whether the raising of any funds under such placement could be carried out by means of an entitlements offer, or a placement and an entitlements offer; (b) the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of proposed issued of Equity Securities; (c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and (d) advice from its professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable). The persons to whom Shares will be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice, but will not include related parties (or their Associates) of the Company. |
| Previous approvals under Listing Rule 7.1A |
The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A on 22 November 2017. In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has issued 1,120,382,628 Equity Securities which represents 112% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.Annexure Asets out information in relation to each issue of Equity Securities in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting. |
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice in relation to Resolution 8. The Company has not approached, and has not yet determined to approach, any particular existing security holders or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in an offer under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, therefore no existing security holders’ votes would be excluded under the voting exclusion statement included in this Notice. |
Resolution 9 – Approval to issue Shares
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes for the issue of a maximum of 200,000,000 Shares at an issue price of not less than 80% of the volume weighted average market price of the closing sale price of the Company's Shares on the ASX, calculated over the last five days on which sales of the Shares are recorded immediately preceding the date of issue (or, if there is a prospectus, product disclosure statement or offer information statement relating to the issue, over the last five days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before the date of the prospectus, product disclosure statement or offer information statement is signed).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue during any 12month period any equity securities or other securities with rights of conversion to equity if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the total ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period. However, where shareholders have previously approved the issue, those shares are not taken into account in the calculation of the 15% threshold. The Company seeks approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 to give it the flexibility to issue these Shares to further advance the Company’s exploration programs in Nicaragua.
The effect (on an undiluted basis) on the capital structure of the Company if all 200,000,000 Shares are issued can be summarised as follows (there will be no change to the number of Options or Performance Rights on issue):

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
| Maximum number of securities | The maximum number of Shares the Company can issue is 200,000,000. |
|---|---|
| The date by which the Company will issue the securities |
The Company will issue the Shares no later than three months after the date of the Meeting, unless otherwise extended by way of ASX granting a waiver to the Listing Rules. |
| The issue price of the securities | The Shares will be issued at a price not less than 80% of the volume weighted average market price of the closing sale price of Shares on the ASX, calculated over the last five days on which sales of the Shares are recorded immediately preceding the date of issue (or, if there is a prospectus relating to the issue, over the last five days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before the date of the prospectus). |
| The names of the persons to whom the Company will issue the securities (if known) or the basis upon which those persons will be identified or selected |
The Shares will be issued to applicants to be determined by the Directors. No decision has, as yet, been made by the Directors in respect of determining the identity of the persons to whom Shares will be issued, other than that none of the persons will be related parties of the Company (which would require separate Shareholder approval). |
| The terms of the securities | The Shares will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary Shares on issue. |
| The intended use of the funds raised |
The funds raised by the issue will be used to further advance the Company’s exploration programs in Nicaragua and the acquisition of new projects (should suitable assets be found). |
| The issue date | The Shares may be issued on one date or progressively as required. |
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice in relation to Resolution 9. |
