The terms and conditions of the Performance Shares are set out in Schedule 1.

3.2 Legal requirements

Section 246C(5) of the Corporations Act confirms that if a company with only one class of shares issues a new class of shares, the issue of the new class of shares is taken to vary the rights attached to shares in the existing class if:

0017 VIC GM 15 January 2018

5. RESOLUTIONS 4 & 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT

5.1 General

On 17 November 2017, the Company completed Tranche 1 of the Placement through the issue of 45,754,995 Shares at an issue price of $0.007 per Share to raise approximately $320,285.

4,424,509 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 41,330,486 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 25 November 2016.

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).

5.2

Resolution 4 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 and a summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in Section 4.2.

By ratifying this issue under Resolution 4, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

5.3 Resolution 5 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

(a) will not be counted in variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) are counted in variable “E”,

until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 5, the base figure (ie variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

Instructions for completing the Proxy Form

1.

( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

2.

( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

3. ( Signing instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should 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 Proxy 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. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  • ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  • (a) post to Victory Mines Limited, GPO Box 2517, Perth WA 6831; or

  • (b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9463 6103; or

  • (c) email to the Company at [email protected],

so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.
