LIONTOWN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING /7

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of Liontown Resources Limited (ACN 118 153 825) ( Liontown or the Company ) in connection with the business to be transacted at the General Meeting of the Company to be held on Tuesday 24 May 2016.

At the General Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider the following Resolutions:

  • (a) the ratification of a share placement;

  • (b) the issue of Shares to Mr Tim Goyder in lieu of the Company repaying an outstanding loan facility;

  • (c) the placement of Shares to Mr Craig Williams;

  • (d) the issue of Options to Mr David Richards;

  • (e) the issue of Options to Mr Craig Williams;

  • (f) the issue of Options to Mr Anthony Cipriano; and

  • (g) the issue of Options to Mr Tim Goyder

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information that the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass these Resolutions. It explains the Resolutions and identifies the Board’s reasons for putting them to Shareholders. The Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF SHARE ISSUE – PLACEMENT

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing equity securities (which includes ordinary shares and options) representing more than 15% of its share capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions). ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows a company to seek subsequent approval for the issue if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such ratification is that the issue is then deemed to have been one to which shareholder approval has been obtained thus not counting towards the 15% referred to in this paragraph.

Resolution 1 seeks ratification of the issue of 87,133,335 Shares to professional and sophisticated investors on 31 March 2016 at 1.5 cents per Share raising $1,307,000 before issue costs (“the Placement Shares”). The funds raised by the issue of the Placement Shares are intended to be applied to fund exploration and drilling activities at the Bynoe Lithium Project in the Northern Territory, the Mohanga Lithium Project in Tanzania and for general working capital purposes.

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5 the following additional information is advised in relation to the Placement Shares:

  • (a) the number of Shares issued was 87,133,335;

  • (b) the Shares were issued on 31 March 2016 at 1.5 cents per Share raising $1,307,000 before issue costs;

  • (c) the Shares ranked equally from the date of issue with all existing Shares in the Company;

  • (d) the Shares were issued sophisticated or professional investors for the purposes of the Corporations Act, who are not related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) the purpose of the issue was to provide funds for exploration and drilling activities at the Bynoe Lithium Project in the Northern Territory, the Mohanga Lithium Project in Tanzania and for general working capital purposes.

Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve this Resolution.

RESOLUTION 2 – SHARE ISSUE TO MR TIM GOYDER IN LIEU OF OUTSTANDING LOAN FACILITY

Background

The Company announced on 18 December 2015 that Mr Tim Goyder, a Director of the Company, had provided a loan facility of $350,000 to the Company in order to maintain ongoing exploration at the Mohanga Lithium-Tantalum Project in Tanzania.

8/ LIONTOWN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

The Company announced on 29 March 2016 that it had agreed with Mr Goyder to settle the outstanding loan of $350,000 by issuing to Mr Goyder 23,333,333 (or his nominee) fully paid ordinary shares at a deemed issue price of 1.5 cents per Share, being the same issue price as the Placement Shares to sophisticated and professional investors (the subject of Resolution 1).

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

Mr Goyder is a related party of the Company by virtue of his position as Director.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 2 because the Shares are to be issued at a deemed issue price equal to the issue price agreed to by unrelated sophisticated and professional investors who subscribed for the Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 1. As such, the giving of the financial benefit is considered to be on arm's length terms.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company cannot issue equity securities to a related party (including its directors) unless shareholder approval is obtained or the issue falls within one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. As none of the exceptions apply to the proposed issue of Shares to Mr Goyder pursuant to Resolution 2, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for Resolution 2 under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

The Company provides the following information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

  • (a) the Shares are proposed to be issued to Mr Goyder (or his nominee);

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 23,333,333;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued as soon as possible after the Meeting and in any event no later than 1 month thereafter (subject to any ASX waiver of the ASX Listing Rules);

  • (d) the deemed share issue price as mutually agreed between the Company and Mr Goyder was arrived by reference to the

Company’s most recent capital raising (completed on 31 March 2016), being 1.5 cents per share;

  • (e) the Shares will rank equally from the date of issue with all existing Shares in the Company; and

  • (f) no new funds will be raised by the issue of the Shares as they are being issued in satisfaction of an outstanding loan.

As approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 2 is approved, the Shares issued will not count towards the Company's 15% placement capacity.

Recommendation

The Directors, excluding Mr Tim Goyder, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF SHARE PLACEMENT TO MR CRAIG WILLIAMS

The Company announced on 29 March 2016 that, subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval, it would issue 2,666,666 shares to Mr Craig Williams, a Director of the Company, as a placement at an issue price of 1.5 cents per share.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of the shareholder approval requirements under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out above.

Mr Williams is a related party of the Company by virtue of his position as Director.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 3 because the Shares are to be issued on the same terms and conditions as those agreed to by unrelated sophisticated and professional investors who subscribed for the Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 1. As such, the giving of the financial benefit is considered to be on arm's length terms.

LIONTOWN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING /9

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company cannot issue equity securities to a related party (including its directors) unless shareholder approval is obtained or the issue falls within one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. As none of the exceptions apply to the proposed issue of Shares to Mr Williams pursuant to Resolution 3, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for Resolution 3 under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

The Company provides the following information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

  • (a) the Shares are proposed to be issued to Mr Williams (or his nominee);

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 2,666,666;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued as soon as possible after the Meeting and in any event no later than 1 month thereafter (subject to any ASX waiver of the ASX Listing Rules);

  • (d) the share issue price as mutually agreed between the Company and Mr Williams was arrived by reference to the Company’s most recent capital raising (completed on 31 March 2016), being 1.5 cents per share;

  • (e) the Shares will rank equally from the date of issue with all existing Shares in the Company; and

  • (f) funds raised by the issue of the Shares are intended to be used for exploration and drilling activities at the Bynoe Lithium Project in the Northern Territory, the Mohanga Lithium Project in Tanzania and for general working capital purposes.

As approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 3 is approved, the Shares issued will not count towards the Company's 15% placement capacity.

Recommendation

The Directors, excluding Mr Craig Williams, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MR DAVID RICHARDS

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to issue 2,000,000 unlisted Options to the Company’s Managing Director, Mr David Richards, or his nominee, under the Company's Employee Share Option Plan on the terms set out below.

Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options, is sought for the purposes of:

  • (a) Division 3 of Part 2E.1 of the Corporations Act, which governs the giving of financial benefits to “related parties”, such as directors of a company; and

  • (b) ASX Listing Rule 10.14, which requires the grant of securities to a director of a company under an employee incentive scheme to be approved by shareholders.

Purpose of the Options Issue

The purpose of the proposed grant of Options is to provide Mr Richards with an added incentive in carrying out his duties as Managing Director of the Company. Given the size and stage of the Company and its need to preserve cash, the issue of Options is a valuable part of the compensation to be provided to Mr Richards.

Terms of the Options

Mr Richards will be issued 2,000,000 Options for nil consideration. The Options will expire on 31 March 2021, will vest immediately and have an exercise price of 3.5 cents.

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Options will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions established under the Employee Share Option Plan.

Part 2E of the Corporations Act

Part 2E.1 of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party (such as a director) unless either:

10/ LIONTOWN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

  • the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the relevant provisions of the Corporations Act; or

  • Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The proposed grant of unlisted Options to Mr Richards or his nominee involves the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company, and therefore, requires Shareholder approval.

In accordance with the requirements of Part 2E of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the proposed issue of Options to Mr Richards:

  • (a) Mr Richards is the Managing Director of the Company and is the person to whom the financial benefit, in the nature of Options, is to be given. As a Director, Mr Richards is a related party of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act.

  • (b) The financial benefit to be given is the grant of 2,000,000 unlisted Options on the terms noted above and otherwise on the terms and conditions established under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan.

  • (c) Those Directors who have no interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 (being all Directors other than Mr Richards) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 on the basis that the Options to be granted provide Mr Richards with an appropriate incentive in recognition of his extensive knowledge and experience. In determining the appropriate number of options to be issued, the Board has calculated the value of the Options using a Black & Scholes valuation model (see (f) below). The Board believes that the value of the Options supplements Mr Richards’ salary which was reduced in August 2014 from $300,000 (inclusive of superannuation) to $164,250 (inclusive of superannuation) in order to preserve cash. From 1 April 2016, Mr Richards’ salary was increased to $220,000 (inclusive of superannuation).

  • (d) Mr Richards makes no recommendation in relation to Resolution 4 on the basis that he has an interest in the outcome of the resolution.

  • (e) The Options will be issued free of charge. However in the event that Mr Richards wishes to exercise the Options he would need to pay the appropriate exercise price in relation to the Options which is 3.5 cents. If he were to exercise all 2,000,000 of the Options he would be required to pay $70,000 assuming an exercise price of 3.5 cents. These proceeds would be used for the Company’s general working capital requirements at the appropriate time. The exercise price and exercise date for the Options are set out below.

  • (f) Using a Black & Scholes valuation model, the Company estimates that each Option, the subject of Resolution 7, has the following values based on the following assumptions:

Exercise Price 3.5 cents
Market Value on the ASX of underlying Shares
2.3 cents
at time of setting exercise price
Expiry date 31 March 2021
Expected volatility 100%
Risk free interest rate 2.14%
Annualised dividend yield Nil
The value of the Options 1.59 cents
The aggregate value of the Options $31,800
  • (g) Over the past 12 months prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting, the lowest recorded closing price of Shares traded on ASX was $0.004 on 17 August 2015 and the highest closing price was $0.023 on 6 April 2016. At the close of trading on 12 April 2016 the Share price on the ASX was 2.4 cents.

  • (h) The exercise price of 3.5 cents represents a premium of 84% to the Company’s closing 30 day volume weighted average price of $0.019 prior to 6 April 2016, and a premium of 133% to the recent March 2016 Placement of 1.5 cents.

LIONTOWN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING /11

  • (i) If Resolution 4 is passed, Mr Richards will hold an interest in 2,859,583 Shares and 6,000,000 Options.

  • (m) Assuming that Mr Richards exercises all of the Options to be granted to him pursuant to Resolution 4, Mr Richards’ interest including all the Shares and Options currently held would represent approximately 1.2% of the Company’s expanded capital. This assumes all Resolutions in this Notice of Meeting are approved by Shareholders.

  • (n) The Options will be issued as soon as practicable following the date of Shareholder approval but in any event no later than 12 months after the General Meeting. The right to exercise will be subject to the terms of their issue.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to issue 1,000,000 unlisted Options to Non-executive Director, Mr Craig Williams, or his nominee, under the Company's Employee Share Option Plan on the terms set out below.

Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options, is sought for the purposes of:

  • (a) Division 3 of Part 2E.1 of the Corporations Act, which governs the giving of financial benefits to “related parties”, such as directors of a company; and

  • (b) ASX Listing Rule 10.14, which requires the grant of securities to a director of a company under an employee incentive scheme to be approved by shareholders.

12/ LIONTOWN RESOURCES LIMITED NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

Purpose of the Options Issue

The purpose of the proposed grant of Options is to provide Mr Williams with an added incentive in carrying out his duties as a Non-executive Director of the Company. Given the size and stage of the Company and its need to preserve cash, the issue of Options is a valuable part of the compensation to be provided to Mr Williams.

Terms of the Options

Mr Williams will be issued 1,000,000 Options for nil consideration. The Options will expire on 31 March 2021, will vest immediately and have an exercise price of 3.5 cents.

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Options will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions established under the Employee Share Option Plan.

Part 2E of the Corporations Act

Part 2E.1 of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party (such as a director) unless either:

  • the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the relevant provisions of the Corporations Act; or

  • Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The proposed grant of unlisted Options to Mr Williams or his nominee involves the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company, and therefore, requires Shareholder approval.

In accordance with the requirements of Part 2E of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the proposed issue of Options to Mr Williams:

  • (a) Mr Williams is Non-executive Director of the Company and is the person to whom the financial benefit, in the nature of Options, is to be given. As a Director, Mr Williams is a related party of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act.

  • (b) The financial benefit to be given is the grant of 1,000,000 unlisted Options on the terms noted above and otherwise on the terms and conditions established under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan.

  • (c) Those Directors who have no interest in the outcome of Resolution 5 (being all Directors other than Mr Williams) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 on the basis that the Options to be granted provide Mr Williams with an appropriate incentive in recognition of his extensive knowledge, experience and will enable directors’ fees to be kept to a modest figure, thus preserving cash for the Company. In determining the appropriate number of options to be issued, the Board has calculated the value of the Options using a Black & Scholes valuation model (see (f) below). The Board believes that the value of the Options in addition to the modest director’s fees is an appropriate quantum and incentive for Mr Williams.

  • (d) Mr Williams makes no recommendation in relation to Resolution 5 on the basis that he has an interest in the outcome of the resolution.

  • (e) The Options will be issued free of charge. However in the event that Mr Williams wishes to exercise the Options he would need to pay the appropriate exercise price in relation to the Options which is 3.5 cents. If he were to exercise all 1,000,000 of the Options he would be required to pay $35,000 assuming an exercise price of 3.5 cents. These proceeds would be used for the Company’s general working capital requirements at the appropriate time. The exercise price and exercise date for the Options are set out below.

  • (f) Using a Black & Scholes valuation model, the Company estimates that each Option, the subject of Resolution 5, has the following values based on the following assumptions:

Exercise Price 3.5 cents
Market Value on the ASX of underlying Shares
2.3 cents
at time of setting exercise price
Expiry date 31 March 2021
Expected volatility 100%

  • (n) The Options will be issued as soon as practicable following the date of Shareholder approval but in any event no later than 12 months after the General Meeting. The right to exercise will be subject to the terms of their issue.
