Explanatory Memorandum
Introduction
This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting to which this Explanatory Memorandum is attached and forms part of. Please take the time to read through this document.
Financial reports
KGL is in the process of changing its reporting period from ending on 31 December to ending on 30 June. This is being done to align the reporting for tax and accounting purposes. As such the Financial Statements presented at this meeting will only cover the six months ending 30 June 2022.
Whilst the Corporations Act requires the financial report, directors’ report and auditors’ report for the period ended 30 June 2022 to be laid before the Annual General Meeting, neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires shareholders to vote on, approve or adopt those reports.
Shareholders will, however, have a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to raise questions on these reports. Each Shareholder will have had access to a copy of the Annual Report, which contains the financial report, directors’ report and auditors’ report for the period ended 30 June 2022.
In addition to asking questions at the Annual General Meeting, Shareholders may address written questions to the Chair about the management of the Company or to the Company’s auditor, BDO Audit Pty Ltd ( BDO ), if the question is relevant to:
-
the content of the auditor’s report; or
-
the conduct of its audit of the annual financial report to be considered at the Annual General Meeting.
-
Under section 250PA(1) of the Corporations Act, a Shareholder must submit the question to the Company no later than the fifth business day before the day on which the Annual General Meeting is held. Written questions for the auditor must therefore be delivered by 5 pm (AEST) on 22 November 2022. Please send any written questions for BDO to [email protected] or to the Company’s offices, addressed to the attention of the Company Secretary, at Level 5, 167 Eagle Street, Brisbane, Queensland 4000.
If BDO or its representative is at the meeting, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for the members at the meeting to ask BDO or its representative questions relevant to:
-
the conduct of the audit;
-
the preparation and content of the auditor’s 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.

Resolution 4 Remuneration Report
Section 300A of the Corporations Act requires that the directors’ report include a separately identified section addressing the remuneration of its Key Management Personnel. Listed entities are further required under section 250R of the Corporations Act to submit the Remuneration Report for adoption at the Company’s Annual General Meeting.
The Remuneration Report is set out in KGL’s 2022 Annual Report, which was released to ASX on 28 September 2022.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to directors and specified executives of the Company and sets out remuneration details for each director and specified executive.
As detailed in the Remuneration Report, the Board believes that the remuneration granted to directors and specified executives is in line with the current employment market and a reflection of the current commodity market conditions.
Shareholders will be asked to vote at the Annual General Meeting on the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report. The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
The resolution of Shareholders is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will continue to monitor the progress of the Company’s projects and exploration activities in relation to the appropriateness of the remuneration of the Board and members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel.
As the resolution relates to matters including the remuneration of the directors of the Company, the Board, as a matter of corporate governance and in accordance with the spirit of section 250R(4) of the Corporations Act, abstains from making a recommendation regarding this resolution.
