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.

1. Annual Report

Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report at the Meeting. The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Annual Report is available on its website at www.lindianresources.com.au.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report. However, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions or make comments about the Annual Report and the management of the Company. Shareholders will also be given an opportunity to ask the auditor questions as permitted by the Corporations Act.

2. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its directors. However, the Board will actively consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company’s future remuneration policies and practices.

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 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, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3.

Resolution 6 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

7.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an “eligible entity” may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities equal to 10% of its issued capital at the time of issue calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 ( Additional Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and without requiring further shareholder approval prior to the issue.

The Board considers it is in the Company’s best interests to have the opportunity to take advantage of the flexibility to issue additional securities provided under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice, no decision has been made by the Board to undertake any issue of securities under the Additional Placement Capacity if Shareholders approve Resolution 6. The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

The information below provides more background on ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and the disclosure required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.

7.2 Description of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Eligible entity

Under the ASX Listing Rules, an "eligible entity" is an entity which, as at the date of the relevant resolution, is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index and has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) equal to or less than $300 million. As at 19 October 2018, the Company is an “eligibly entity” as it is not included in the S&P 300 Index and has a current market capitalization of approximately $6,800,618 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on ASX on 19 October 2018).

(b) Special resolution

The Additional Placement Capacity requires shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting. This requires at least 75% of the votes to be cast in favour of the resolution by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

(c) Securities which may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity

Under the Additional Placement Capacity, the Company must issue Equity Securities belonging to an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, being fully paid ordinary shares (ASX Code: LIN).

(d)

Minimum issue price

The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the Additional Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades of securities in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the issue price is agreed for the securities under the Additional Placement Capacity; or

  • (ii) if the securities are not issued under the Additional Placement Capacity within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the securities are issued.

  • (iii) The Company will disclose this information when Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Placement Capacity.

(e)

Time period for issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity during the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; or

  • (ii) if the Company receives Shareholder approval for a proposed transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), the date of that approval, after which date, an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will cease to be valid,

( Additional Placement Period ).

  • (f) Dilution risks

If Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Placement Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders, including the following risks:

  • (i) the market price for Equity Securities in the class of securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (that is, the date of the Meeting, if Resolution 6 is approved); and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, both as at 19 October 2018.

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue as at 19 October 2018. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlement offer or securities issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future general meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the market price as at 19 October 2018.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. Current Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice (377,812,124) plus the additional 10,000,000 Shares proposed to be issued subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 5.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 19 October 2018.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity consists only of Shares and the consideration provided for those Shares is cash. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  8. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

(g) Purpose of issue under Additional Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) to provide non-cash consideration for new asset purchases or investments; or

  • (ii) to raise cash to fund:

  • (A) general working capital expenses;

  • (B) activities associated with its current assets;

  • (C) repayment of debt; or

  • (D) the acquisition of new assets and investments (including any expenses associated with such an acquisition).

The Company will comply with the disclosure ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A on issue of any Equity Securities issued pursuant to the approval sought by Resolution 6. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will at the time of issue of the Equity Securities provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the securities is at or above the minimum issue price, in accordance with the Note to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3. The Company intends to maintain the ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for non-cash consideration.

(h) Allocation policy under the Additional Placement Capacity

The Company's allocation policy and the identity of the recipients of Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of issue and in the Company's discretion.

No decision has been made in relation to an issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity, including whether the Company will engage with new investors or existing Shareholders, and if so the identities of any such persons.

However, when determining of the allocation policy and the identity of the recipients, the Company will have regard to the following considerations:

(i) prevailing market conditions;

  • (ii) the purpose for the issue of the Equity Securities;

(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

(iv) impacts of the placement on control;

(v) other methods of raising capital; and

(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Recipients may include existing Shareholders or new investors, but not persons who are related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. If the issue is made in connection with the acquisition of assets, the recipients may be the sellers of those assets

(i) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 27 November 2017 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has issued 26,781,212 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval.

During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2017, the Company also issued a further 110,000,001 Shares and 125,000,001 Options which represents approximately 56.2% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 30 November 2017, which was 418,096,150.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 2.

7.3 Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

Schedule 1 – Terms and conditions of Options

The general rights and liabilities attaching to the Options can be summarised as follows:

  • (a) Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the Option.

  • (b) Each Option has an exercise price of $0.02 ( Exercise Price ) and the expiry date is 31 December 2020 ( Expiry Date ).

  • (c) The Options are exercisable at:

  • (i) Resolution 3 and 2,500,000 Options under Resolution 4: any time after grant and on or prior to the Expiry Date; or

  • (ii) 2,500,000 Options under Resolution 4: any time after the 5 day volume weighted average price of Shares as traded on ASX after the date of issue of the Options is not less than $0.04 and on or prior to the Expiry Date.

  • (d) The Options may be exercised by notice in writing to the Company ( Notice of Exercise ) and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised. Any Notice of Exercise of an Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Option as at the date of receipt.

  • (e) Shares issued on exercise of the Options rank equally with the then Shares of the Company.

  • (f) Application will be made by the Company to ASX for quotation of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options.

  • (g) There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Option. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least ten Business Days after the issue is announced. This will give the holders of Options the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  • (h) If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):

  • (i) The number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Optionholder would have received if the Optionholder had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and

  • (ii) No change will be made to the Exercise Price.

  • (i) If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders there will be no adjustment of the Exercise Price of an Option.

  • (j) If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Optionholders may be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction.

  • (k) No application for quotation of the Options will be made by the Company.

  • (l) The Options are transferable provided that the transfer of the Options complies with section 707(3) of the Corporations Act.

  • (m) Cheques shall be in Australian currency made payable to the Company and crossed “Not Negotiable”. The application for shares on exercise of the Options with the appropriate remittance should be lodged at the Company’s share registry.

Notes:

  1. Market Price means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.

  2. Unquoted Options, exercisable at $0.02 each, on or before 31 December 2020. The full terms and conditions are set out in Schedule 1.

  3. Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ASX Code: LIN (terms are set out in the Constitution).

  4. This is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

  5. In respect of quoted Equity Securities the value is based on the closing price of the Shares ($0.018) on the ASX on 19 October 2018. In respect of unquoted Equity Securities the value of Options is measured using the Black & Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the Option, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the Option. No account is taken of any performance conditions included in the terms of the Option other than market based performance conditions (i.e. conditions linked to the price of Shares).
