EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 9:00am (WST) on Thursday, 27 November 2014 at 32 Harrogate Street, West Leederville, Western Australia.

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on the Company’s website at www.capelam.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the Directors who were in office when the directors’ report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

At the Company’s 2013 Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at the Annual General Meeting was less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company including service agreements and details of any share based compensation. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2014.

9

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – TIM TURNER

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for reelection.

The Company currently has 4 Directors and accordingly, 1 must retire.

Mr Tim Turner, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election. A summary of Mr Tim Turner is set out in the 2014 Annual Report of the Company.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – PLACEMENT – OPTIONS TO EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS

4.1 General

The Company proposes to issue up to 7,000,000 Options to employees and consultants of the Company as a reward and incentive to promote motivation, company ownership and loyalties ( Option Placement ). The Options proposed to be issued under the Option Placement will vest on the achievement of a milestone by the Company, namely the divestment (wholly or partially) of the Company’s interest in the Marampa Project.

The Company is committed to renumerating its senior executives in a manner that is market competitive and consistent with best practice as well as supporting the interests of Shareholders. Accordingly, the Company considers it appropriate to issue employees and consultants Options to align the interests of the employees and consultants with those of Shareholders and increase Company performance.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Options the subject of the Option Placement to the employees and consultants during the period of 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or a longer period if allowed by ASX) without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

10

None of the persons receiving the Options the subject of the Options Placement will be a related party of the Company.

4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Options Placement:

  • (a) a maximum of 7,000,000 Options will be issued;

  • (b) the Options will be issued for nil cash consideration;

  • (c) the Options will be issued to consultants and employees of the Company, none of whom will be a related party of the Company;

  • (d) the Options will be issued on the terms set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such other date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on one date; and

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Options as they are being issued to employees and consultants of the Company in consideration for their services to the Company and to promote motivation, company ownership and loyalty.

5. RESOLUTIONS 4, 5, 6 AND 7 – ALLOCATION OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

5.1 General

The Board has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 3,300,000 Options ( Director Options ) to Messrs Tony Sage, Tim Turner, Jason Brewer and Ross Levin (or their nominees), on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2. The Directors Options will not vest in the holders until the specified vesting condition is achieved. The vesting condition is detailed in Schedule 2 and relates to the divestment (wholly or partially) of the Company’s interest in the Marampa Project.

For a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

11

The issue of Director Options to the Directors requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the Director Options constitute giving a financial benefit and as Directors, Messrs Tony Sage, Tim Turner, Jason Brewer and Ross Levin are related parties of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Director Options to the Directors.

5.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Director Options to the Directors:

  • (a) the related parties are Messrs Tony Sage, Tim Turner, Jason Brewer and Ross Levin and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be allocated to the related parties is:

  • (i) 1,500,000 Director Options to Tony Sage (or his nominee) (Resolution 4);

  • (ii) 600,000 Director Options to Tim Turner (or his nominee) (Resolution 5);

  • (iii) 600,000 Director Options to Jason Brewer (or his nominee) (Resolution 6); and

  • (iv) 600,000 Director Options to Ross Levin (or his nominee) (Resolution 7);

  • (c) the Director Options will be granted to the Directors no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be allocated on one date;

  • (d) the Director Options will be issued for nil cash consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the Director Options will be issued on the terms set out in Schedule 2;

  • (f) the value of the Director Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 3;

  • (g) the relevant interests of the Director Options in securities of the Company are set out below;

12

Related Party Shares Options
Tony Sage 43,615,430 -
Tim Turner 1,523,000 -
Jason Brewer 0 -
Ross Levin 619,500 -

(h) the remuneration from the Company to the Directors and their associates (for their roles as Directors and also consultancy arrangements with the Company) for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration for the current financial year are set out below:

Related Party Current Financial Year
(2014/2015)²´³
Previous Financial Year
(2013/2014)²
Tony Sage $1,105,000 $700,000
Tim Turner $210,000 $60,000
Jason Brewer $123,000 $24,000¹
Ross Levin $248,000 $48,000

1 Mr Jason Brewer was appointed effective 31 December 2013 ² Figures exclusive of GST

³ Includes director bonus payments, as recommended by the Remuneration Committee, in respect of the MCC and ATO settlements

(i) if the Director Options granted to the Directors are exercised, a total of 3,300,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 626,686,586 to 629,986,586 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.5265%, comprising 0.2394% by Tony Sage, 0.0957% by Tim Turner, 0.0957% by Ross Levin and 0.0957% by Jason Brewer.

The market price of Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:

13

Price Date
Highest $0.16 7 August 2014
Lowest $0.07 8 July 2014
Last $0.09 9 October 2014
  • (k) in respect of Resolutions 4 to 7:

  • (i) As advised by the Company in its ASX announcements and its 2014 Annual Report, the Company continues to develop a strong financial position through its strategy of acquiring and investing in assets that are distressed or undervalued and adding value to these assets with the objective of monetising these assets at a multiple while retaining an interest in the disposed asset through a royalty and/or equity interest with a policy of distributing surplus cash to shareholders. There is a vesting condition attached to the Director Options which relates to the divestment of Company project therefore realising funds for the Company. Details of the numerous and significant transactions involving the Company in the last financial year are set out in the 2014 Annual Report. Historically (and prospectively) acquisitions require the Company to have significant cash reserves available to it at the time of negotiation and acquisition;

  • (ii) Accordingly, the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options is to reward the Directors (upon achieving a milestone for the Company) in identifying, securing and in negotiating significant transactions for the Company and realising funds for the Company and to provide cost effective consideration to the Directors for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in their respective roles as Directors, whilst allowing the Company to maintain cash reserves for acquisitions and operations. In addition, the Board considers the grant of the Director Options to the Directors to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract high calibre professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves;

  • (iii) The Board (other than in respect of the relevant Resolution that they have an interest in) considered the extensive experience and reputation of the relevant persons within the industry, the current market price of Shares and current market practices when determining the number and exercise price of the Director Options to be issued to the Directors. Relevantly, the exercise price of the Director Options is the price that is the 15 day volume weighted average Share price ( VWAP ) preceding the date of issue. On the assumption that the Director Options were issued on the date of this Notice of Meeting, the exercise price of the Director Options would have been $0.12 (based on the 15 day VWAP of the Shares up to and including 9 October 2014; and

  • (iv) The Board does not consider there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company in issuing the Director Options to the Directors.

(l) commentary relating to ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendation Policy 8.2 states (inter alia) that non-executive directors should normally be remunerated by way of fees in the form of cash, non cash benefits, superannuation contributions or salary sacrifice into equity and should not receive options or bonus payments (and the issue of Director Options to Messrs Turner, Brewer and Levin may be considered a bonus payment). Accordingly, the Board acknowledges the issue of

14

Directors Options to Messrs Turner, Brewer and Levin is contrary to this recommendation. However, the Board considers the issue of Director Options to those parties is an effective method available to Shareholders to consider in remunerating these Directors as opposed to a cash payment, given the historical and proposed business model which requires that the Company maintains a strong cash position for future acquisitions of assets and distributions to Shareholders). Shareholders should consider the above matters carefully before deciding how to vote on these Resolutions;

  • (m) Tony Sage declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll.

When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
