2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
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.
The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. 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 2013.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR RICHARD PRITCHARD

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 re-election.
The Company currently has 3 directors and accordingly at least 1 must retire.
Mr Richard Pritchard and Mr Anthony Crimmins were appointed Directors on the same day and Mr Pritchard has agreed to retire by rotation at this Annual General Meeting and seeks re-election.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
4.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% placement capacity ).
The Company is an eligible entity.
The number of Equity Securities the Eligible entity may issue under the 10% placement capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 5.2 below).
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the company to issue equity securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% placement capacity during the period up to 12 months after the meeting, without subsequent shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 for it to be passed.
The Directors of the Company believe Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
7
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an eligible entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue equity securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An eligible entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) Is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) Has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $2,589,139 (assuming a share price of 2.5 cents being the last sale price 23 October 2013).
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two classes of Equity Securities being:
-
Shares (ASX Code: JAT); and
-
Listed Options exercisable at 25 cents on or before 1 March 2014 (ASX Code: JATO);
The exact number of equity securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of the 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 holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
d) Less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
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 Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
8
4.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and is accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of equity securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) The date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) If the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% placement capacity commencing on the date of the meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) 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 (a disposal of main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid).( 10% placement capacity period).
(c) Rick of voting dilution
Any issue of equity securities under the 10% placement capacity will dilute the interests of shareholders who do not receive any shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% placement capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing shareholders would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of shares and the current number of equity securities on issue as at the date of this notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of shares issued under the 10% placement capacity.

| Funds raised | $269,270 | $517,828 | $1,035,656 | |
- The number of shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of shares that do not require shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with stakeholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) There are currently 103,565,568 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
-
(ii) The issue price is $0.025, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 23 October 2013.
-
(iii) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(iv) No Listed Options or Employee Incentive Options (including any Listed Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of Equity Securities.
-
(v) Resolution 3 of this meeting is approved.
-
(vi) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(vii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to any particular shareholder will be subject to. All shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
10
-
(viii) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(ix) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into shares for the purposes of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(x) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(xi) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% placement capacity, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) The market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) The Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those shares on the date of issue.
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% placement capacity
The Company may issue quoted equity securities under the 10% placement capacity for the following purposes:
-
(xii) Non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments. In such circumstances the company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(i) Cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards further development of its existing assets, including its Coal Plus technology or general working capital or an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition).
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities.
(e) Allocation policy under 10% placement capacity
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of equity securities under the 10% placement capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed placement(s).
The recipients of the equity securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of equity securities could consist off current shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
11
-
(i) The purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) Alternative methods for raising funds available to the company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) The effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) The circumstances of the Company, including but not limited to, the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(v) Prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) Advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Facility will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2012 ( Previous Approval ).
At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has issued 1,887,665 fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to that approval (see Appendix 3B issued 8 October 2013). The issue price of 3 cents was a premium to the last sale price (on 4[th] October 2013) for shares traded on the ASX.
During the 12 month period, the Company otherwise issued a total of 19,375,000 ordinary fully paid shares which represents approximately 14.9% of the total diluted number of equity securities on issue in the Company on 30 November 2012, which was 129,839,115.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form
-
( Appointing a Proxy ): A member entitled to attend and vote at an Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on a poll on their behalf. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.
-
( Direction to Vote ): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
Unless authorised by ASIC, if a member of Key Management Personnel or their Closely Related Parties is appointed as a proxy, they are not permitted to vote undirected proxies on remuneration matters (arising directly or indirectly in connection with remuneration of Key Management Personnel), related party benefit matters under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and any spill resolutions. However, the chair may vote a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted, provided the member who has lodged the proxy has provided their consent in the proxy form for the chair to exercise the proxy in its discretion (save in relation to the remuneration report where a direction is required).
-
( New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act ): These sections came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Annual General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:
-
if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and
-
any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.
Further details on these changes are set out below.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote
Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:
-
the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
-
if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:
-
an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and
-
the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
-
at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and
-
either of the following applies:
-
the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;
o the proxy does not vote on the resolution,
the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.
-
( Signing Instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the member must sign.
-
( Joint Holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the members must sign.
-
( Power of Attorney ): If you have not already provided the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
-
( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
-
( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.
