3. Resolution 1 – Election of Director – Mr Steven Chadwick

3.1 General

Clause 14.4(a) of the Constitution allows the Board to appoint, at any time, a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Pursuant to Clause 14.3(b) of the Constitution, any Director so appointed holds office only until the conclusion of the next Meeting of the Company's Shareholders and is eligible for re-election at that Meeting.

On 10 January 2019, Mr Steven Chadwick was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Accordingly, Mr Chadwick resigns as a Director at the Meeting and, being eligible, seeks approval to be elected as a Director pursuant to Resolution 1.

The Board considers Mr Chadwick to be an independent director.

Mr Chadwick is a well-known and highly-regarded international mining executive who brings extensive operational, technical, corporate and strategic expertise spanning a 40-year plus career across the global mining industry.

His vast operational experience and technical knowledge will be a valuable addition to the Liontown Board as the Company advances its Kathleen Valley Lithium Project in WA through feasibilities studies and into development and progresses its other key Australian battery metal assets.

Mr Chadwick is a Metallurgical Graduate of the highly-regarded Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) and has held numerous technical, operating and management roles, with a strong metallurgical background.

He was a founding Director of BC Iron and a former Managing Director of Coventry Resources, PacMin Mining and Northern Gold. He was also a Director of, and consulted to, the Australian subsidiary of the major Canadian miner Teck Resources for 10 years.

Whilst at PacMin, Mr Chadwick was responsible for the expansion of the Tarmoola Gold Project to 4Mtpa and also project managed the design, construction and commissioning of the 2.5Mtpa Carosue Dam Gold Project (now operated by Saracen Mineral Holdings), prior to becoming Managing Director.

He is currently a director of Lycopodium Limited, a well-respected and internationally recognised Australian engineering and project management group.

3.2 Additional information

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Chadwick, who declines to make a recommendation due to his interest in the Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

4. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Incentive Options to Mr Steven Chadwick

4.1 General

As announced on 10 January 2019, the Board has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 3,500,000 unlisted Options to Mr Steven Chadwick (or his nominees) ( Incentive Options ), as part of his remuneration as a Director of the Company.

The Incentive Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, exercisable at $0.035 each and expiring on 28 November 2023, having vested (subject to shareholder approval under this Resolution 2) on 10 January 2019. The Incentive Options are to be issued under the terms of the Employee Securities Incentive Scheme ( Scheme ), which are summarised in the Company's 2018 notice of annual general meeting, announced on ASX on 29 October 2018.

The Incentive Options provide an incentive component to Mr Chadwick's remuneration package, and align his interests with those of Shareholders. The Board considers that the number of Incentive Options to be granted to Mr Chadwick is commensurate with his value to the Company and is an appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Incentive Options is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Incentive Options to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rules 7.1 or 10.11 is not required.

4.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Incentive Options:

  • (a) the Incentive Options will be issued under the Scheme to Mr Chadwick (or his nominees), who is a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Incentive Options to be issued to Mr Chadwick (or his nominees) is 3,500,000, as set out in Section 4.1 above;

  • (c) the Incentive Options will have an issue price of nil as they will be issued as part of the remuneration package for Mr Chadwick;

  • (d) the names of all persons referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 who have received Securities under the Scheme since it was approved by Shareholders at the 2018 annual general

  • 8 -

meeting held on 27 November 2018, the number of the Securities received and the acquisition price for each Security is set out below:

Director Options Acquisition

David Richards 5,000,000 nil $0.035 28 November 2023

  • (e) the persons referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 who are entitled to participate in the Scheme are the current Directors, namely Tim Goyder, David Richards, Craig Williams, Anthony Cipriano and Steven Chadwick;

  • (f) no loan will be provided to Mr Chadwick in relation to the issue of the Incentive Options;

  • (g) the Incentive Options will be issued no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules); and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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.

The grant of the Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Chadwick is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Board (other than Mr Chadwick who has an interest in Resolution 2) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of the Incentive Options due to the exceptions in sections 210 and 211 of the Corporations Act, as the agreement to grant the Incentive Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Chadwick, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on arm's length terms.

4.4 Additional information

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Chadwick, who declines to make a recommendation due to his interest in the Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

The Company announced on 14 February 2019 that it was undertaking a capital raising of up to approximately $7.9 million (before costs), comprised of:

  • (a) a 1-for-5 non-renounceable pro-rata rights issue to raise $4.5 million;

  • (b) a private placement of Shares comprised of the following:

  • (i) a placement of Shares to sophisticated and professional investors to raise $3 million ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and

  • (ii) subject to shareholder approval, a placement of Shares to Directors to raise $0.35 million ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ),

(together, the Placement ).

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

5.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3 will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further Equity Securities, to the extent of 150,000,000 Equity Securities, during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:

  • (a) a total of 150,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued;

  • (e) the proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are intended to be used to enable the Company to undertake substantial drilling, exploration, metallurgy and feasibility programs at its two key emerging Australian lithium projects (Kathleen Valley Lithium Project and Buldania Lithium Project), as well as for costs of the Placement and general working capital; and

  • 10 -

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.4 Additional information

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

6. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares

6.1 General

The background to the Placement is provided in Section 5.1.

Pursuant to Resolution 4, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

Directors Timothy Goyder, Anthony Cipriano, Craig Williams, David Richards and Steven Chadwick (together, the Related Party Participants ) each wish to subscribe for Shares on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, subject to Shareholder approval being obtained.

6.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained, unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. As it is proposed to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares:

  • (a) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Directors Timothy Goyder, Anthony Cipriano, Craig Williams, David Richards and Steven Chadwick (or their respective nominees);

  • (b) the maximum number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued is 17,500,000 in the following proportions:

  • (i) up to 10,000,000 Shares to Mr Goyder (or his nominees);

  • (ii) up to 1,500,000 Shares to Mr Cipriano (or his nominees);

  • (iii) up to 2,500,000 Shares to Mr Williams (or his nominees);

  • 11 -

  • (iv) up to 1,000,000 Shares to Mr Richards (or his nominees); and (v) up to 2,500,000 Shares to Mr Chadwick (or his nominees);

  • (c) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (d) the issue price will be $0.02 per Share, being the same as all Shares issued under the Placement;

  • (e) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;

  • (f) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as funds raised by the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, as set out in Section 5.3(e); and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

6.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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.

The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Related Party Participants on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to persons who are not Related Party Participants. As such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

6.5 Additional information

Each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The passing of any Resolution which forms part of Resolution 2 is not conditional on the passing of any other Resolution.

The Directors decline to make a recommendation in respect of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 4 due to their interest in the Resolutions.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.
