EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Annual General Meeting of the Company, to be convened for Friday, 2 November 2018 commencing at 11am (WST).
2018 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report and the Auditors’ Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.
The Company has provided a copy of the 2018 Annual Report to those Shareholders who specifically requested a copy. The Company’s Annual Report is available on its website www.kingsrosemining.com.au
RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
General
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s Annual General Meeting a resolution that the Remuneration Report must be presented to Shareholders for their consideration and adoption.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report and sets out the Company’s remuneration framework and policies and the remuneration arrangements for the Directors and Senior Executives of the Company.
Voting Consequences – “two strikes rule”
Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that the vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report is for advisory purposes only and will not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will however, take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company. Under the Corporations Act if at two consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% or more of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report then a further resolution ( Spill Resolution ) may be required to be considered at the second annual general meeting as to whether a further meeting be convened (within 90 days) to put certain Directors to re-election. The Directors to be put to re-election are those Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date when the resolution to make the directors report (considered at the later annual general meeting) was passed.
Previous Voting Results
At the Company’s previous Annual General Meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that Annual General Meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
RESOLUTIONS 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR | MR RODERICK MCILLREE
Clause 12.11 of the Company’s Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 requires that at every Annual General Meeting 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, 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 retiring and submitting himself or herself for re-election.
Accordingly, Mr Roderick McIllree is required to retire by rotation, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.
Kingsrose Mining Limited |Explanatory Statement

Mr Roderick McIllree is a corporate geologist. A graduate of Curtin University School of Mines he has spent decades working in frontier locations during which time he has gained a global perspective of commodities.

Mr McIllree has extensive capital markets experience having successfully raised funds for mining and exploration companies with assets both within Australia and overseas.
Mr McIllree is currently Managing Director of AIM listed Blue Jay Mining Plc.
Recommendation: The Directors (other than Mr McIllree) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR | DR MICHAEL ANDREWS
Clause 12.11 of the Company’s Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 requires that at every Annual General Meeting 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, 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 retiring and submitting himself or herself for re-election.
Accordingly, Dr Michael Andrews is required to retire by rotation, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.
Dr Michael Andrews is a geologist with more than 35 years of research and mining industry experience in gold, copper, coal and iron exploration. He holds an honours degree in Geology from the University of Reading, and a doctorate in Exploration Geochemistry from the University of Wales.

Kingsrose Mining Limited |Explanatory Statement

RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SECURITIES UNDER INCENTIVE OPTION SCHEME
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholders approval for the issue of securities under the Kingsrose Mining Ltd Incentive Options and Performance Rights Scheme ( Scheme ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).
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.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Scheme to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.
Shareholders should note that no securities have previously been granted under the Scheme.
The objective of the Scheme is to assist in attracting, motivating and retaining key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Scheme and the future issue of securities under the Scheme will provide selected employees and other eligible participants with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company in a manner which aligns their interests with the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.
Any future issues of securities under the Scheme to a related party or a person whose relationship with the company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
A summary of the key terms of the Scheme is set out in Schedule 1.
In addition a copy of the Scheme is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the General Meeting. A copy of the Scheme can be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary at +61 8 9381 5588.
Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries.
RESOLUTION 5 – RENEWAL OF PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
Background
Under the Corporations Act, a company is empowered to include in its constitution a provision to enable the company to refuse to register shares acquired under a proportional takeover bid unless a resolution is passed by shareholders in a general meeting approving the offer.
Under the Corporations Act and clause 8.22 of the Company’s Constitution, the provisions must be renewed every three years or they will cease to have effect. The current provisions have ceased to have effect. The Directors consider that it is appropriate to renew approval for clauses 8.12 to 8.22 for a period of three years from the date of the Annual General Meeting (after which it will have to be renewed by a further special resolution of Shareholders each 3 years).
Kingsrose Mining Limited |Explanatory Statement
Page 7
Proportional Takeover Bids
A proportional takeover bid is an off market takeover offer sent to all Shareholders but only in respect of a specified portion of each Shareholder’s Shares in the Company (i.e. less than 100%). Accordingly, if a Shareholder accepts in full the offer under a proportional takeover bid, the Shareholder will dispose of the specified portion of the Shareholder’s Shares and retain the balance of the Shares.
Effect of Proportional Takeover Provision
The effect of clauses 8.12 to 8.22 is that if a proportional takeover bid is made to Shareholders, the Directors are obliged to convene a meeting of Shareholders to be held at least 15 days before the offer closes. The purpose of the meeting is to vote on a resolution ( Approving Resolution ) to approve the proportional takeover bid. The Approving Resolution is passed if more than 50% of the votes cast on the resolution by Members (excluding the Bidder and their associates) are in favour of the resolution.
If no such resolution is voted on within the required timeframe, the resolution is deemed to have been approved. This, in effect, means that Shareholders as a body may only prohibit a proportional takeover bid by rejecting such a resolution.
If the resolution is approved or deemed to have been approved, transfers of Shares under the proportional takeover bid (provided they are in all other respects in order for registration) must be registered.
If the resolution is rejected, registration of any transfer of Shares resulting from that proportional takeover bid is prohibited and the offer is deemed by the Corporations Act to be withdrawn.
The proportional takeover provision does not apply to a full takeover bid.
Reasons for Proposing the Resolution
The Directors consider that Shareholders should have the opportunity to vote on a proposed proportional takeover bid. A proportional takeover bid may result in effective control of the Company changing hands without Shareholders having the opportunity of disposing all of their Shares. Shareholders could be at risk of passing control to the offeror without payment of an adequate control premium for all their Shares whilst leaving themselves as part of a minority interest in the Company.
If Resolution 5 is passed, clauses 8.12 to 8.22 of the Constitution can prevent this occurring by giving Shareholders the opportunity to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable and should be permitted to proceed.
Presently Proposed Acquisitions
As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire or increase the extent of a substantial interest in the Company.
Potential Advantages and Disadvantages of Proportional Takeover Provisions During the Period in Which They Have Been in Effect
The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions had no advantages or disadvantages for them during the period in which they have been in effect.
The advantages and disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include those set out immediately below, which were applicable during the period in which they have been in effect.
Potential Advantages and Disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions for the Directors and Shareholders
The Directors consider that clauses 8.12 to 8.22 has no potential advantages or potential disadvantages for the Directors as they remain free to make whatever recommendations they consider appropriate on any proportional takeover bid that may be made.
The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:
Kingsrose Mining Limited |Explanatory Statement
Page 8
-
the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
-
assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;
-
increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and
-
each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.
The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:
-
proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;
-
lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and
-
the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.
Directors’ Recommendation: The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

Schedule 1 – Summary of the terms of the Kingsrose Mining Ltd Incentive Options and Performance Rights Scheme
- Offers
The Board may from time to time make an offer of Options or Performance Rights ( Securities ) to an eligible participant under the Scheme. The offer will specify:
-
(a) the number of Securities offered;
-
(b) the exercise price and expiry date of any Options;
-
(c) the period during which the offer must be accepted;
-
(d) any conditions attaching to the exercise/vesting of the Securities and any transfer restrictions on the underlying Shares (once issued); and
-
(e) any other terms and conditions applicable to the offer.
Performance Rights can be exercised for nil consideration.
Options, upon vesting, will require payment of the exercise price (as set out in the offer) by the holder when exercised. However, the holder may elect for a cashless exercise facility in lieu of paying the exercise price. Essentially the holder will be able to set off the exercise price against the number of shares (at market value) they are entitled to receive upon exercise of their options. So they will receive less shares.
2.
Eligibility
The following persons are eligible to participate in the Scheme:
-
(a) directors of any Group Company;
-
(b) full or part time employees of any Group Company;
-
(c) casual employees of any Group Company working, or reasonably expected to work, approximately 40% or more of a comparable full time position;
-
(d) contractors of any Group Company where the individual performing the work is working, or reasonably expected to work, approximately 40% or more of a comparable full time position; and
-
(e) a person who is to become one of the above.
Subject to Board approval, an offer may be renounced by an Eligible Participant in favour of immediate family members, a company whose shareholders comprise only the eligible participant or immediate family members, or a corporate trustee of a self-managed superannuation fund in which the eligible participant is a director of the trustee.
3.
Conditions
The Board may impose conditions to the vesting or exercise of a Security, or restrictions to the trading or disposal of Shares issued upon exercise of a Security, which conditions must be set out in the relevant offer document. The Board may, in its discretion, waive any such conditions by notice in writing to the relevant participant.
4. General terms of Options
- (a) ( Grant Price ): Securities will be granted for nil consideration.
Kingsrose Mining Limited |Explanatory Statement
Page 11
-
(b) ( Non-transferable ): Securities are generally non-transferable. However, upon the death of the participant the Securities may be transferred to their legal representative. Also, with the Board’s prior written consent, Securities may be transferred where the relevant person ceases to be an eligible participant due to permanent disability, retirement, redundancy, suffering a severe financial hardship or any other circumstance stated as a special circumstance when the offer is made.
-
(c) ( Quotation ): The Securities will not be quoted on the ASX. However, the Company will apply for quotation of Shares issued upon exercise of the Securities subject to any restriction conditions specified in the offer for the Securities.
-
(d) ( Rights attaching to Shares ): Shares issued upon exercise of Securities will rank equally with fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company subject to any restriction conditions specified in the offer for the Securities.
-
(e) ( Reorganisation of Capital ): If at any time the capital of the Company is reorganised, the terms and number of Securities may be changed by the Company in a manner consistent with and as required by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation.
-
(f) ( Overriding restrictions ): No Securities may be offered, granted or exercised and no Share may be issued on exercise of any Security if to do so would contravene the ASX Listing Rules or any other applicable law.
-
(g) ( No Rights of Participation in New Issues ): The holder of a Security has no right to participate in new issues by the Company except to the extent that the holder exercises the Security prior to the record date for the new issue.
-
Lapsing of Securities
Unexercised Securities will generally lapse on the relevant expiry date. However, Securities will also lapse earlier:
-
(a) if the eligible participant ceases to be an eligible participant where the relevant Group company has terminated their engagement for cause;
-
(b) if a vesting condition is not satisfied by the due date or becomes incapable of satisfaction (unless the Board exercises its discretion to waive the condition);
-
(c) if the eligible participant ceases to be an eligible participant (unless the Board exercises its discretion to waive any remaining vesting conditions or to resolve that the Security does not lapse);
-
(d) if the Securityholder purports to dispose of or encumber or hedge a Security in a manner not permitted by the Scheme; or
-
(e) by notice from the Board if the eligible participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly, is grossly negligent, demonstrates serious and wilful misconduct or causes a material adverse effect on the Company’s reputation.
Where a relevant person ceases to be an eligible participant and the Securities have vested in the relevant person but have not been exercised the Board, in its discretion, may resolve that either the relevant person has a further 1 month in which to exercise the Securities before they lapse or that the Company may cancel the Securities in consideration for a cash payment.
Kingsrose Mining Limited |Explanatory Statement
Page 12
6. Scheme Limit
The Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an offer, that the number of Shares to be received on exercise of Securities offered under the offer, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made at any time during the previous 3 year period under an employee incentive scheme covered by ASIC Class Order 14/1000, or an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme, will not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer.
7. Administration of the Scheme
The Board may appoint a committee for the administration and management of the Scheme. The decision of the Board as to the interpretation, effect or application of the Scheme will be final.
