Item 1 - Financial Statements and Reports

The Corporations Act requires the reports of the Directors and of the Company’s auditor and the annual financial report for the year to 31 March 2021, including the financial statements, to be put before the Annual General Meeting and the Constitution provides for those reports and statements to be received and considered at the Annual General Meeting. Neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on the reports or statements. However, Shareholders will be given an opportunity to raise questions on the reports and statements at the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company is not required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments may result in reducing the Company’s printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company annual financial report on its website at www.legacyiron.com.au.

Item 2 – Adoption of Remuneration Report (Resolution 1)

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors Report in the Company’s Annual Report for the period ending 31 March 2021. This report sets out the Company’s remuneration policy and reports on the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and key executives of the Company.

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the vote. This resolution seeks this approval. However, in accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders should note that this resolution is an “advisory only” resolution which does not bind the Directors of the Company.

Following consideration of the Remuneration Report, the Chairman, in accordance with section 250SA of the Corporations Act, must give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Under recent reforms to the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of the vote on this resolution are against adopting the Remuneration Report, the Company will be required to consider and report to Shareholders in the next Remuneration Report on what action (if any) has been taken in response to Shareholder concerns, and if no action is proposed to be taken, the Board’s reasons for this.

Shareholders also need to be aware that as a result of the new legislation which became effective on 1 July 2011 a “two strikes” process will apply to the results of voting in relation to Resolution 1. This means that if the resolution proposing adoption of the Remuneration Report receives a “no” vote of over 25% of votes cast by those attending in person or by proxy and permitted to vote, at two successive annual general meetings, then at the Company’s next annual general meeting, an extra resolution must be put to the meeting proposing that another general meeting should be held within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. A simple majority of over 50% of the votes cast at the next annual general meeting is required to pass this extra resolution. If the resolution is passed, within 90 days another general meeting must be held at which all the Directors, except the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer and any new Directors appointed since the date of the next annual general meeting, will be required to resign and offer themselves for re-election. These provisions are colloquially referred to as the “two strikes rule” and the “spill resolution” to be put to the “spill meeting”.

If at the spill meeting, the resolutions are all passed against re-electing the relevant Directors, the legislation includes a mechanism to ensure the Board continues with the statutory required minimum of 3 Directors. After the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, the remaining positions will be filled by the Directors whose re-election resolutions at the spill meeting received the highest percentage of votes in favour of re-election. If the number of votes is the same for Directors, the Managing Director/Chief Executive

Officer and any other Director whose re-election has been confirmed at this spill meeting, can choose who is to become the new Director, with such appointment to be confirmed by shareholders at the next annual general meeting.

At the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting, there were 2,862,205 votes cast against the 2020 Remuneration Report, and the Company therefore has not received a first strike as part of the two strikes process.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.

Item 3 – Ratification of Appointment of Director (Resolution 2)

Under clause 14.4 of the Constitution, the Directors at any time may appoint a director to the board of the Company as a casual vacancy until the next annual general meeting where that director is then eligible for reelection. Accordingly, Mr Sumit Deb having been appointed on 6 August 2020 and without prior shareholder approval retires at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, he offers himself for re-election as a Director.

Mr Deb is the Chairman cum Managing Director of NMDC Ltd, Legacy Iron’s largest shareholder, and holds the position of Chairman of Legacy Iron. Mr Deb is a graduate in Mechanical Engineering from Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneshwar. Prior to his appointment as Chairman of NMDC, he was Director (Personnel) and responsible for various functions of Personnel & Admin, Human Resource Development, Law, and Corporate Communications of NMDC Ltd. Prior to NMDC, he was with Rashtriya lspat Nigam Limited (RINL) where he worked for 25 years gaining experience in the steel industry. Mr Deb also has significant experience in the marketing and distribution of steel & iron ore, sponge iron, pellets and diamonds.

If re-elected, the Board does not consider Mr Deb to be an independent Director given he represents the Company’s major shareholder.

The Board has reviewed Mr Deb’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Deb’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Deb and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Item 4 – Re-election of Director (Resolution 3)

Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 14.2 of the Constitution provide that, other than a managing director or a director filling a casual vacancy, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. If the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, then Directors who must be re-elected will be determined by the agreement of the Directors.

The Company currently has three Directors meeting the requirements for rotation, and accordingly one must retire

Mr Devanathan Ramanchandran, who has served as a Director since 2014 and his directorship was ratified on 22 August 2019, retires by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, he offers himself for re-election as a Director.

Mr Ramachandran has approximately 30 years of wide-ranging experience in global mining and fertilizer industries. He has acquired hands-on business expertise across a variety of mineral commodities and cultures working in corporate, technical and operational roles in global leaders such as BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Vale. Holding extensive business development experience ranging from identification and evaluation of investment opportunities through due diligence and post-merger integration, Mr Ramachandran has a proven track record in large investments in mining and fertilizer industries often with significant rail, port, power and other infrastructure.

If re-elected, the Board considers Mr Ramachandran to be an independent Director.

The Board has reviewed Mr Ramachandran’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Ramachandran’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Ramachandran and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

Item 5 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares (Resolution 4)

5.1 Background to Resolution 4

If the issue is not ratified, then the Company’s placement capacity will be reduced by the number of shares.

  • (d) The Shares were issued on 2 March 2021;

  • (e) The shares have been issued to unrelated sophisticated investors introduced by EverBlu Capital and selected from EverBlu Capital’s network of investors. None of the parties who participated in the issue are material investors for the purpose of Guidance Note 21;

  • (g) A total of $3.15 million was raised by the share issue and the funds were directed to ongoing drilling and exploration studies associated with the Company’s gold projects.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 to fully restore the Company’s capacity to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the issue of the Broker Options to EverBlu Capital, 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.

If the issue is not ratified, then the Company’s placement capacity will be reduced by the number of Broker Options.

6.4 Compliance with Listing Rule 7.5

The information required to be provided to Shareholders to satisfy ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is specified in ASX Listing Rule 7.5.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue pursuant to Resolution 5:

  • (a) 3,000,000 Broker Options were issued to EverBlu Capital, within the Company’s then existing 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (b) The Broker Options were issued for nil consideration as part of the Lead Manager fee;

  • (c) the Broker Options are a new class of security issued, but once converted into fully paid ordinary Shares, the Shares will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares the terms of which are in the public domain;

  • (d) The Broker Options were issued on 2 March 2021;

  • (e) The Broker Options were issued to EverBlu Capital or their nominees as part of the fee of acting as Lead Manager; (f) The Company entered into a Lead Manager agreement with EverBlu Capital to undertake a placement on a best endeavours basis for capital raising fees of 6% plus the issue of 3,000,000 options exercisable at $0.04 on or before 1 March 2023.

  • (g) No funds were raised by the issue of the Broker Options. In the event the Broker Options are issues, the funds raised of $120,000 will be applied towards working capital; and

  • (h) The terms of the Broker Options are set out in Appendix A.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 to fully restore the Company’s capacity to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
