LION SELECTION GROUP LIMITED ABN 26 077 729 572
NOTICE OF 2023 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Notice is hereby given that the annual general meeting of Lion Selection Group Limited (Company) will be held at Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne, 328 Flinders Street, Melbourne on Wednesday 6 December 2023 at 10.00am (AEDT).
ORDINARY BUSINESS
Discussion of Financial Statements and Reports
To discuss the Company’s financial statements and the reports of Directors and the auditor in respect of the year ended 31 July 2023. Pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments in relation to, each of the aforementioned reports during consideration of these items.
RESOLUTION 1
Adoption of the Remuneration Report
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following resolution as an ordinary resolution:
That the Remuneration Report of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2023, as set out in the Directors’ Report of the Annual Report, be adopted.
Voting Exclusions
The Company will disregard any votes cast on this resolution by certain persons. Details of the voting exclusions applicable to this resolution are set out in the ‘Voting Exclusions’ section of the Notes below.
Explanatory Note
Shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report. The shareholder vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. However, pursuant to the Corporations Act, if the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of at least 25% of the votes cast at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, a resolution must then be put to Shareholders at the second AGM as to whether another general meeting of the Company should be held within 90 days at which all Directors (other than any Managing Director), who were in office at the time the Board approved the second Remuneration Report, would need to stand for re-election.
Recommendation
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as such interests are described in the Remuneration Report) and, as described in the voting exclusions above, that each Director (or any closely related party of a Director) is excluded from voting their shares on this resolution, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report.
RESOLUTION 2
Appointment of Auditor
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following resolution as an ordinary resolution:
That pursuant to section 327B of the Corporations Act, Nexia Australia, having been nominated by a Shareholder and consented in writing to act in the capacity of auditor of the Company, be appointed auditor of the company and that the directors be authorized to fix the remuneration of the auditor.
Explanatory Note
PriceWaterhouse Cooper, the Company’s existing auditor, will resign effective from the date of the conclusion of this annual general meeting.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers has been auditor of Lion and its predecessor companies for the last 16 years. The Company has conducted a selective tender for its audit work. The Directors consider that Nexia Australia (Nexia) has offered the most attractive proposal to audit the Company and seek approval to appoint Nexia as auditor of the Company.
The Company has received a notice from a shareholder (see page 4) nominating the appointment of Nexia as auditor of the Company and Nexia has consented to act as auditor if this resolution is passed.
Recommendation
All Directors recommend shareholders approve this resolution.
RESOLUTION 3
Re-election of Director
Mr Barry Sullivan retires in accordance with the Constitution and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.
Information on Mr Sullivan and his experience and qualifications is set out below:
Barry Sullivan is an experienced and successful mining engineer with a career spanning 40 years in the mining industry. His initial mining experience was gained in the South African gold mining industry, followed by more than 20 years with Mount Isa Mines. In the final five years of his tenure with MIM, Mr Sullivan was Executive General Manager responsible for the extensive Mount Isa and Hilton operations.

The Corporations Act and the Listing Rules require that certain persons must not vote, and the Company must disregard any votes cast by certain persons, on the resolutions to be considered at the meeting. These voting exclusions are described below:
Item 1 – Adoption of the Remuneration Report
Except to the extent otherwise permitted by law, the following persons may not vote, and the Company will disregard any votes cast by the following persons, on the resolution proposed at item 1 (Resolution 1) :

-
l A KMP whose remuneration details are not included in the Remuneration Report (or a closely related party of any such KMP) that is appointed as a proxy where the proxy appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1, unless:
-
the proxy is the Chair of the meeting at which Resolution 1 is voted on; and
-
the proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP.
For the purposes of these voting exclusions:

It includes all Directors (executive and non-executive).

-
l a company the KMP controls.
The Company will also apply these voting exclusions, on an equivalent basis, to persons appointed as attorney by a shareholder to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting under a power of attorney.
Appointment of proxies
A Proxy Form accompanies this Notice of General Meeting. A shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint no more than two proxies to attend and vote in their place. A proxy may be either an individual or a corporation, and need not be a shareholder of the Company. A single proxy exercises all voting rights. A member 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. Where a shareholder wishes to appoint two proxies, the names of both proxies and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each should be included in the enclosed Proxy Form. If a shareholder appoints two proxies and does not specify each proxy’s voting rights, the rights are deemed to be 50% each. Fractions of votes are to be disregarded.
A proxy need not vote in that capacity on a show of hands on any resolution nor (unless the proxy is the Chairman of the Meeting) on a poll. However, if the proxy's appointment specifies the way to vote on a resolution, and the proxy decides to vote in that capacity on that resolution, the proxy must vote the way specified (subject to the other provisions of these Notes, including the voting exclusions noted above).
All votes at the Meeting will be conducted by Poll. The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the resolutions put in the Notice of Meeting.
Direction to Chairman for Remuneration Report (Item 1):
If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as a proxy, a shareholder can direct the Chairman of the Meeting to vote for or against, or to abstain from voting on, the resolution on item 1 (Adoption of Remuneration Report) by marking the appropriate box opposite item 1 in the Proxy Form. However, if the Chairman of the Meeting is a proxy and the relevant shareholder does not mark any of the boxes opposite item 1, the relevant shareholder will be directing the Chairman to vote in favour of the resolution on that item.
A proxy need not be a member of the Company and can be an individual or a body corporate.
A body corporate appointed as a member's proxy may appoint a representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise as a proxy at the general meeting. The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.
Bodies corporate
A body corporate may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise at meetings of a company's members. The appointment may be a standing one. Unless the appointment states otherwise, the representative may exercise all of the powers that the appointing body could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a resolution.
The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.
