RESOLUTION 1 – RE – ELECTION OF MICHAEL ATKINS AS A DIRECTOR

1.1 General

Mr. Michael Atkins was first appointed as an Non-Executive Director on 27 February 2003. Mr. Atkins was last re-elected as a Director on 18 May 2017.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.5, an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting (at least one director must stand for election or re-election). Pursuant to rule 38.1(c) of the Constitution, one third of the Company’s directors must retire at each annual general meeting. Accordingly, Mr. Atkins will retire by rotation at this Meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote on it.

1.2 Director’s Biography

Mr. Atkins is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Mr. Atkins was a founding partner of a national Chartered Accounting practice from 1979 to 1987 and was a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia between 1984 and 2012.

Legend Mining Limited Annual General Meeting 13 May 2019

Between 1987 and 1998 he was involved in the executive management of several publicly listed resource companies with operations in Australia, USA, South East Asia and Africa. From 1990 to 1995 he was managing director and later a nonexecutive director of Claremont Petroleum NL and Beach Petroleum NL during their reconstruction, and then remained as a non-executive director until 1995. He was also founding executive chairman of Gallery Gold Ltd until 1998, and remained a non-executive director until 2000.

Since February 2009 Mr. Atkins has been a Director – Corporate Finance at Patersons Securities Limited where he advises on the formation of, and capital raising for, emerging companies in the Australian resources sector.

He is currently non-executive chairman of Australian listed companies Azumah Resources Ltd and Castle Minerals Ltd, and non-executive director of SRG Global Limited. Mr. Atkins has not held any former public company directorships in the last three years. Following enquiry, the Board have determined that Mr. Atkins is an independent director of the Company.

1.3 Directors’ Recommendation

All the Directors, except Mr Atkins, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

RESOLUTION 2 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Annual Report contains the Remuneration Report, which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

The Remuneration Report has been sent to Shareholders who have made an election to receive the Annual Report. Copies of the Annual Report are available by contacting the Company’s share registry or visiting the Company’s web site www.legendmining.com.au.

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 2 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

The Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011, which came into effect on 1 July 2011, amended the Corporations Act to provide that Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the managing director if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings.

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' report must stand for re-election.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2018 annual general meeting (in respect of the financial year ending 31 December 2017). Accordingly, a Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2020 annual general meeting (in respect of the financial year ending 31 December 2019), this will result in another meeting being held within 90 days at which resolutions will be put to Shareholders for the re-election of the Directors other than the managing director and any director appointed since the Remuneration Report was approved by the Board.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Legend Mining Limited Annual General Meeting 13 May 2019

2.2 Voting on the Remuneration Report

In accordance with the Corporations Act, a vote on this Resolution must not be cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of either the following persons:

(a) a member of the Key Management Personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report; or

  • (b) a Closely Related Party of such a member.

However, a person (the voter ) described above may cast a vote on this Resolution as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:

  • (a) the voter is appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on this Resolution; or

  • (b) the voter is the Chairman and the appointment of the Chairman as proxy:

  • (i) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on this Resolution; and

(ii) expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

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

If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 2, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.
