If you are not a registered Shareholder at the Record Date, you will not be entitled to vote in respect of that Share.

If you cannot attend the Meeting in person, you are encouraged to sign and deliver the accompanying proxy form and return it in accordance with the instructions set out below.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXIES

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting may appoint an individual or a body corporate as a proxy to attend the Meeting and, on a poll, vote on the Shareholder’s behalf. A proxy need not be a Shareholder. A Shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. The enclosed proxy form provides further details on proxies and lodging proxy forms. If a Shareholder appoints a person related to the Placement as proxy, the person is not able to vote proxies on Resolution 1 unless the Shareholder directs them how to vote by marking the boxes on the proxy form for Resolution 1. If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy, the Shareholder can direct the Chairman how to vote by either marking the relevant boxes on the proxy form (i.e. ‘for’, ‘against’ or ‘abstain’) OR by marking the Chairman’s voting direction box on the proxy form (in which case this will be considered to be an express direction to the Chairman of the Meeting to vote in favour of Resolution 1 even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the Placement and/or even if the Chairman of the Meeting has an interest in the outcome of this Resolution. If no direction is provided and the Chairman’s voting box is not marked (or if the direction is to ‘abstain’) the Chairman of the Meeting will not be able to cast the Shareholder’s votes on Resolution 1 and those votes will not be counted in calculating the required majority on a poll.

Subject to the paragraphs above, if a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as the Shareholder’s proxy and does not specify how the Chairman is to vote on a Resolution, the Chairman will vote, as proxy for that Shareholder, in favour of that Resolution on a poll. For Shareholders registered on the Australian register, section 250B of the Corporations Act stipulates that the proxies must be delivered prior to 10:30 am (Melbourne time) on Wednesday 12[th] September 2018 to:

Explanatory Statement

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to explain the resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting and to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company that is material to a decision on how to vote on those resolutions.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read the Notice and this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the glossary at the end of this document.

Resolution 1 – Ratification of the Placement of 68,734,589 ordinary shares to refresh the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

The Company is seeking shareholder approval and ratification of the Placement of

68,734,589 fully paid ordinary shares and 22,911,530 options issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to certain institutional and sophisticated investors on 22[nd] May 2018 arranged by Patersons to raise approximately AUD$549,877, before expenses. These share and options were issued to:

  • 25,109,589 share and 8,369,863 options to Kobia Holdings Ltd

  • 25,000,000 shares and 8,333,333 options to Blue Bone PTY LTD

  • 7,250,000 shares and 23,416,671 options to Mr George Henry Millar Grant

  • 2,100,000 shares and 700,000 options to Owen Clark

  • 2,000,000 shares and 666,666 options to Burley WA Pty Ltd

  • 1,875,000 shares and 625,000 options to Garnett Superannuation

  • 1,187,500 shares and 395,833 options to Ocean View WA Pty Ltd

  • 1,187,500 shares and 395,833 options to Osiris Capital Investments WA Pty Ltd

  • 625,000 shares and 208,333 options to Samantha Lyn Clarke

  • 500,000 shares and 166,666 options to Timothy Michael Gregg

  • 500,000 shares and 166,666 options to Damien Lee Gullone

  • 250,000 shares and 166,666 options to Christopher William Drayton Jamieson

The Placement Shares rank equally with existing Shares. The terms of the offer for the above subscribers is the same as that offered in the Entitlement Offer of 24th April 2018. The terms of the options are detailed in the Glossary.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

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.

5

M E T M I N C O L I M I T E D

ASX Listing Rule 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rules 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

At the time of the Placement, the Company determined that the share issue did not require shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 because the shares issued to certain institutional and sophisticated investors in the last 12 months did not exceed the 15% threshold prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

To refresh the Company's capacity to issue further securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, shareholder approval is sought for the prior issue of the 68,734,589 fully paid ordinary shares and 22,911,530 options. This will enable to enable the Company to consider additional funding opportunities over the next 12 months should they arise, consistent with the provisions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the Corporations Act.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting seeking an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the placement and this Resolution 1:

  • (a) The total number of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company Shares and Options that were issued is 68,734,589 and 22,911,530 respectively.

  • (b) The Shares were issued at a price of AUD $0.008 per Share;

  • (c) The Options issued as free and are exercisable at AUD $0.011 on or before June 2020 and were issued on the basis of 1 option for every 3 shares subscribed under this Placement.

  • (d) The Shares allotted and issued rank equally with the existing shares on issue;

  • (e) The Shares were allotted and issued to certain new and existing sophisticated investors who subscribed under the Placement; and

  • (f) These funds raised (after costs) are used to fund Metminco’s Colombian mineral exploration program in the Quinchia area of Colombia.

This is a normal resolution and requires shareholder approval by majority vote.

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution

Resolution 2 – Amendment to the Constitution to include Proportional Takeover Provisions

The Company is seeking shareholder approval to incorporate Proportional Takeover provisions in the Constitution.

The Proportional Takeover provisions of the Corporations Act entitle a company that adopts such provisions to prohibit a proportional takeover bid being launched that may not be in the best interests of all shareholders.

What is a Proportional Takeover Bid?

A proportional takeover bid involves the bidder offering to buy a proportion only of each shareholder’s shares in a company. Without this provision, a proportional takeover would

6

M E T M I N C O L I M I T E D

only seek to acquire a certain percentage of each shareholder's parcel. The consequences of this bid may be to entrench minority shareholders, who see control pass without an opportunity to make a complete exit and / or receive the appropriate premium for the change of control being paid to shareholders.

Therefore, this provision provides a mechanism whereby the company, as a whole, can preclude that outcome by a majority vote of all shareholders.

What is the effect of the proportional takeover approval provisions ?

If a proportional takeover bid is made, the Directors must ensure that Shareholders vote on a resolution to approve the bid more than 14 days before the bid period closes.

The vote is decided on a simple majority by each registered shareholder having a vote. However, the bidder and their associates are not allowed to vote.

If the vote on the resolution is not passed, the transfer of the shares to the bidder from the acceptance of a bid will not be registered, the bid will be taken to have been withdrawn and any share transfers reversed. If the bid is approved (or taken to have been approved as it was not voted within the 14 day deadline) the transfers must be registered if they comply with the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

The Corporations Act permits companies to include proportional takeover provisions in its Constitution but given there are differing legal and commercial views on the efficiency and effectiveness of such measures, the Corporations Act provides the Company a mechanism to revoke this provision from its Constitution. The Corporations Act requires the provision to be refreshed every three years, with approval by a 75% majority in each case, and disclosure about the advantages and disadvantages. The proportional takeover approval provisions do not apply to full takeover bids.

Commentary

The inclusion of this provision has the potential impact to:

  • Ensure that all shareholders have the opportunity to study a proportional bid proposal and vote on the bid at a general meeting. This is more likely to ensure a potential bidder structures its offer in a way which is attractive to a majority of Shareholders, including appropriate pricing.

  • Reduce choices available to shareholders by attracting less potential bidders and therefore removes the opportunity for the merits of the takeover to be judged in the market and for shareholders to trade their shares.

  • Could be considered an unwarranted restriction in the market, as it precludes the opportunity for shareholders to effect changes in a company where improvement is needed so as to underpin the share price. However its exclusion from the Constitution does give the minority shareholder locked into a successful proportional take-over, the potential for some “upside” if the company performance improves. A successful proportional take-over also conserves cash resources whilst making appropriate management changes.

This is a special resolution and requires 75% of the shareholder votes for approval.

The Directors recommend that this Resolution be approved by shareholders as it provides the appropriate net benefit and mechanism to ensure maximum shareholder value.
