PROPOSED ACQUISITION

==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [55 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

The Company was incorporated on 5 May 1980 and was admitted to the Official List of the ASX on 16 January 1987. The Company currently holds exploration interests prospective for iron ore in the Republic of Nigeria and in the Pilbara and Mid-West regions of Western Australia.

The Company has also entered into an exclusive option agreement to acquire 85% of lithium rights to the Aurora Lithium Project (“ Aurora Lithium Rights ”) from Aurora Energy Metals Ltd (ASX: 1AE) as announced on 14 November 2023. The Company is progressing its due diligence investigations into the Aurora Lithium Project and will keep the market updated with respect to the acquisition of the Aurora Lithium Rights as required.

==> picture [254 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

As announced on 6 March 2024, following a recent strategic review of Board composition and skills to ensure alignment with its exploration focus and strategy, the Company has undertaken a strategic board restructure with Messrs Ashley Pattison and John Campbell Smyth resigning as directors and the Company appointing (“ Strategic Board Restructure ”):

  • Mr Simon Rushton as Managing Director;

  • Mr Robert Jewson as Executive Technical Director;

  • Mr Evan Cranston as Non-Executive Director; and

  • Mr Tolga Kumova as Non-Executive Director,

(together, the “ Strategic Directors ”).

In recognition of the high quality asset portfolio that is held by Macro, a highly credentialed board of mining executives with a proven ability to fast track assets from exploration to production were attracted to the Company. The incoming board elected to support a capital raising in conjunction with joining the Board to expedite the exploration and development of the Company’s Iron ore portfolio with a clear focus on reducing time to market for Macro’s iron ore assets. With the significant developments of the Onslow Port Development, multiple infrastructure and logistics pathways have been identified which could potentially aid in the development of the West Pilbara assets by offering cost effective and timely infrastructure solutions from Macro’s West Pilbara mine gates to export markets. Synergistic assets identified proximal to Macro’s West Pilbara tenure were also acquired as part of this transaction.

The newly appointed board is conducting a strategic review of all of the Company’s assets in order to prioritise the exploration efforts towards those which have the highest likelihood of economic development and demonstrate significant scale potential. Updates will be provided to the market on the outcomes of the strategic review and implementation of exploration programs as they unfold.

In association with the Strategic Board Restructure, synergistic assets identified proximal to Macro’s West Pilbara tenure were also acquired as part of this transaction and the Company has resultantly entered into a tenement acquisition agreement to acquire six exploration licence applications (“ Tenements ”).

In connection with the Strategic Board Restructure and the acquisition of Tenements, the Company will undertake a placement to Strategic Placement Participants (“ Placement Participants ”) of a total of 675,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.002 per Share (“ Placement Shares ”) to raise an aggregate total of $1,350,000 (before costs) together with 337,500,000 free attaching options with

14

an exercise price of $0.008 and an expiry date of 12 February 2026 (“ Placement Options ”) (“ Placement ”).

The Placement was not underwritten, and will be completed in two (2) tranches as follows:

  • (i) 419,989,000 Placement Shares were issued by the Company under its existing placement capacity on 12 March 2024 (“ Tranche 1 Placement Shares ”); and

  • (ii) 255,011,000 Placement Shares, which are subject to Shareholder approval under Resolutions 2 to 8 (“ Tranche 2 Placement Shares ”).

The Placement Securities were, and are proposed to be, issued in accordance with the terms of the Placement Offer Letters. The material terms of the Placement Offer Letter are as follows:

  • The offer of the Placement Securities is made on the basis that the Placement Participant:

  • if residing in Australia, is a ‘sophisticated investor’, ‘experienced’ or ‘professional investor’ (as those terms are defined in the Corporations Act) or otherwise fall within an exception under section 708 of the Corporations Act;

  • if residing in New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore or the United Kingdom, is a person to whom an invitation to offer to subscribe for the Placement Securities is permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are situated;

  • The Placement is to be conducted without the issue of a disclosure document under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act and, in accepting the offer of the Placement Securities, it is agreed that the offer of the Placement Securities falls within one of the exclusion provisions of Section 708 of the Corporations Act;

  • The funds raised by the Company will be used for the purposes set out in Section 1.5 below; and

  • The Placement will be undertaken in two tranches, with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and the Placement Options being subject to Shareholder approval at the Meeting.

The Placement Options are to be issued, subject to Shareholder approval, on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.

The Strategic Directors have each subscribed for Placement Securities under the Placement Offer Letters and as part of the Strategic Board Restructure as a sign of their confidence in the Company’s projects. None of the Strategic Directors were an ASX Listing Rule ’10.11 party’ for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 25 at the time the respective Placement Offer Letters and Strategic Board Restructure Agreements were entered into.

Accordingly, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares to the Strategic Directors was conducted under the Company’s existing placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, and in reliance on ASX Listing Rule 10.12 Exception 12 on the basis that none of the Strategic Directors were an ASX Listing Rule ’10.11 party’ for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 25 at the time the Placement Offer Letters and the Strategic Board Restructure Agreements were agreed and entered into.

ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 provides that an issue of equity securities under an agreement or transaction between the entity and a person who would not otherwise be a related party but for the fact that they believe, or have reasonable grounds to believe, that they are likely to become a related party in the future because of the agreement or transaction.

Funds raised under the Placement will be used in accordance with the table set out in section 1.5.

REGULATORY INFORMATION

==> picture [417 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [116 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the prior issue of 419,989,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares to Strategic Placement Participants (or nominee(s) thereof).

As set out in section 1.3 above, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 12 March 2024, with 419,989,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 issuing the Tranche 1 Placement Shares to Strategic Placement Participants.

==> picture [69 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over a twelve (12) month period to fifteen percent (15%) of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period. Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue equity securities comprising up to ten percent (10%) of issued capital. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting on 30 November 2023.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fall within any of those exceptions and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the fifteen percent (15%) limit in Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the twelve (12) months following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

ASX Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.12

ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the grant of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares involves the issue of securities to related parties of the Company, shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception under ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 provides that an issue of equity securities under an agreement or transaction between the entity and a person who would not otherwise be a related party but for the fact that they believe, or have reasonable grounds to believe, that they are likely to become a related party in the future because of the agreement or transaction.

The Placement Offer Letters and Strategic Board Restructure Agreements executed between the Strategic Directors, which included the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares to the Strategic Directors, were agreed to and executed prior to the Strategic Directors being appointed as directors of the Company, and therefore prior to them each becoming a related party of the Company. The Company confirms that none of the Strategic Directors were an ASX Listing Rule ’10.11 party’ for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 25 at the time the Placement Offer Letters and the Strategic Board Restructure Agreements were agreed and executed.

Accordingly, the Company has relied upon ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 and therefore not sought shareholder approval prior to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares to the Strategic Directors under the Tranche 1 Placement.

18

==> picture [70 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue has been taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s fifteen percent (15%) limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the twelve (12) month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s fifteen percent (15%) limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the twelve (12) month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to the Shareholders in relation to obtaining approval of Resolution 1 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4:

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Name of the persons to whom the entity will issue the securities or the basis on which those persons were determined

The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to the Strategic Placement Participants (or nominee(s) thereof) as part of the Company’s Strategic Board Restructure and associated acquisition of Tenements to focus and expedite the Company’s exploration of its highly prospective WA iron ore assets.

None of the Strategic Placement Participants that participated in the Tranche 1 Placement were Related Parties of the Company or persons to whom Listing Rule 10.11 applied at the time the respective Placement Offer Letters were entered.

As set out above in Section 2.1 and elsewhere in this Notice, the Company has relied upon ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 and therefore did not seek shareholder approval prior to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares to the Strategic Directors under the Tranche 1 Placement.

The Strategic Placement Participants, including the number of Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued to each, are set out in the table below:

Strategic Placement Participants Tranche 1
Placement Shares
Mr Robert Jewson (or nominee(s)) 82,675,000
Mr Evan Cranston (or nominee(s)) 119,052,000
Mr Tolga Kumova (or nominee(s)) 119,052,000
Mr Simon Rushton (or nominee(s)) 82,675,000

Voting Exclusion Statement

Refer to the Voting Exclusion Statement beneath the applicable Resolution in the Notice of Meeting.

==> picture [82 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Listing Rule 14.1A provides that a notice of meeting which contains a resolution approval of security holders under the Listing Rules must summarise the relevant Listing Rule (see summary of Listing Rule 7.4 above) and what will happen if security holders give, or do not give, that approval.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of 419,989,000 Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s fifteen percent (15%) limit for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the twelve (12) month period following the date of issue of the Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of 419,989,000 Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s fifteen percent (15%) limit for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the twelve (12) month period following the date of issue of the Shares.

==> picture [350 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Resolutions 2 to 3 are ordinary resolutions which seek Shareholder approval under Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to:

  • (i) 40,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares; and

20

(ii) 20,000,000 Placement Options (together, “ Placement Securities ”),

to Peter Huljich and John Campbell Smyth (and/or their nominee(s)) (“ Participating Directors ”).

==> picture [133 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from giving a financial benefit (including an issue of securities) to a related party of a company without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the related party or by an associate, 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 Placement Securities to the Participating Directors constitutes giving a financial benefit, and the Participating Directors are Related Parties of the Company under section 228 of the Corporations Act. However, the Company considers that the proposed issues of Placement Securities under Resolutions 2 & 3 fall within the ‘arm’s length’ exception within section 210 of the Corporations Act given that:

  • the Participating Directors will only be entitled to apply for Placement Securities under the Placement on the same terms (including the offer price of $0.002 per Share) as those that apply to other Placement Participants;

  • the dilutionary impact on existing Shareholders would be the same irrespective of whether the Placement Securities are issued to Directors or any other person under the Placement; and

  • the issue of Placement Securities to the Directors under the Placement would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company were dealing at arm’s length.

Accordingly, the Company considers that the proposed issues of securities pursuant to Resolutions 2 and 3 do not require Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.

==> picture [133 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered except in certain limited circumstances.

Section 195(4) further provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a meeting of directors by operation of Section 195 of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and that general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

Each of the Participating Directors may be considered to have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 2 and 3. If each Participating Director does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 2 and 3 at Board level.

Accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt, and as a matter of good corporate governance, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 2 and 3 for the purposes of Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the reliance on the ‘arm’s length’ exception under Section 210 of the Corporations Act and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Section 208 of the Corporations Act.

==> picture [81 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (a) a related party;

21

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six (6) months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six (6) months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of Placement Securities to the Participating Directors falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 (a related party) and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 2 and 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Securities under, and for the purposes of, Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Securities to Mr Peter Huljich and Mr John Campbell Smyth, or nominee(s) thereof, respectively.

If Resolutions 2 and 3 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Securities to Mr Peter Huljich and Mr John Campbell Smyth, or nominee(s) thereof, respectively.

Further, exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2 states that approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.

==> picture [81 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information be provided to the Shareholders in relation to obtaining approval of Resolutions 2 and 3:

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

The relationship that requires Shareholder approval

Mr Peter Huljich and Mr John Campbell Smyth are both Related Parties of the Company under section 228 of the Corporations Act, and related parties for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.1, by virtue of being current and former Directors of the Company.

The Company notes that Mr John Campbell Smyth resigned as part of the Strategic Board Restructure on 6 March 2024, however, is still considered a Related Party of the Company under section 228 of the Corporations Act, and a related party for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.1, by virtue of being a director of the Company within the past six months.

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

The issue price of the securities

The issue price for the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be $0.002 per Share and the Placement Options will be issued for nil consideration as free attaching options.

The terms of the securities

  • The Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue.

  • The Placement Options forming part of the Placement Securities are to be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2 (being on the same terms and conditions as the Placement Options issued to unrelated Placement Participants).

Resolutions 4 to 7 are ordinary resolutions which seek Shareholder approval Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to:

  • (i) 206,546,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares; and

  • (ii) 305,000,000 Placement Options (together, the “ Strategic Placement Securities

to the Strategic Directors.

Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from giving a financial benefit (including an issue of securities) to a related party of a company without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the related party or by an associate, 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 Strategic Placement Securities to the Strategic Directors constitutes giving a financial benefit, and the Strategic Directors are Related Parties of the Company under section 228 of the Corporations Act. However, the Company considers that the proposed issue of the Strategic Placement Securities under Resolutions 4 to 7 fall within the ‘arm’s length’ exception within section 210 of the Corporations Act given that:

  • the Strategic Directors will only be entitled to apply for Strategic Placement Securities under the Placement on the same terms (including the offer price of $0.002 per Share) as those that apply to other Placement Participants;

  • the dilutionary impact on existing Shareholders would be the same irrespective of whether the Strategic Placement Securities are issued to Directors or any other person under the Placement; and

  • the issue of Placement Securities to the Strategic Directors under the Placement would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company were dealing at arm’s length.

Accordingly, the Company considers that the proposed issues of securities pursuant to Resolutions 4 to 7 do not require Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.

==> picture [81 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (f) a related party;

  • (g) a person who is, or was at any time in the six (6) months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (h) a person who is, or was at any time in the six (6) months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (i) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (j) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

24

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

As set out in Section 1.3, the Company considered that ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 applied to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares to the Strategic Directors under Resolution 1.

ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 provides that an issue of equity securities under an agreement or transaction between the entity and a person who would not otherwise be a related party but for the fact that they believe, or have reasonable grounds to believe, that they are likely to become a related party in the future because of the agreement or transaction.

The respective Placement Offer Letters and Strategic Board Restructure Agreements executed between the Company and the Strategic Directors were agreed to and executed prior to the Strategic Directors being appointed as directors of the Company, and therefore prior to each of the Strategic Directors becoming a related party of the Company.

As such, the Company considers that, given it has previously relied on ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 with respect to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares to the Strategic Directors under Resolution 1, it can therefore rely upon ASX Listing Rule 10.12 Exception 12 with respect to the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Strategic Directors.

Notwithstanding the Company’s position that it can rely on Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 for the issue of the Strategic Placement Securities should it choose to, the Company instead proposes to obtain shareholder approval for the issue of the Strategic Placement Securities to the Strategic Directors under Listing Rule 10.11 for the for the purpose of transparency and good corporate governance.

Accordingly, Resolutions 4 to 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Strategic Placement Securities under, and for the purposes of, Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolutions 4 to 7 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Strategic Placement Securities to the Strategic Directors.

If Resolutions 4 to 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Strategic Placement Securities to the Strategic Directors.

Further, exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2 states that approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 8 is an ordinary resolution which seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 8,465,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares and 12,500,000 Placement Options (together, the “ Placement Securities ”) as part of the Company undertaking the Placement (as described in Section 1.3 above).

==> picture [69 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, prior Shareholder approval is required for an issue of securities by a company if those securities, when aggregated with the securities issued by the company without approval and which were not subject to an exception during the previous twelve (12) months, exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of that twelve (12) month period.

The proposed issue of the Placement Securities does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity remaining under Listing Rule 7.1 to accommodate the issue. The Company therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Securities.

The effect of Resolution 8 will be to allow the Company to issue the Placement Securities during the period of three (3) months after the Meeting or a longer period, if allowed by ASX, without using the Company's fifteen percent (15%) annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8:

As announced on 6 March 2024, following a recent strategic review of Board composition and skills to ensure alignment with strategy, the Company has undertaken a strategic board restructure of highly regarded company directors with the dedicated focus of developing the Company’s Pilbara Iron Ore portfolio.

The Board, taking into account the Company’s present circumstances, considers the issue of the Incentive Options to the Strategic Directors to be a cost effective and efficient way by the Company to appropriately incentivise and reward the performance of the new Board and ensure alignment of the new Board with the strategic goals and targets of the Company following its Strategic Board Restructure.

Given the speculative nature of the Company’s activities and the small management team responsible for its running, the Board considers the performance of the Strategic Directors and the performance and value of the Company to be closely related. As such, the Incentive Options proposed to be granted to the Strategic Directors will generally only be of benefit if the performance is to the level whereby the value of the Company increases sufficiently to warrant exercising those Incentive Options.

==> picture [153 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit (including an issue of securities) to a related party of the company without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the related party (or an associate of such related party), 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 Incentive Options was agreed by the Company under the terms of the Strategic Board Restructure Agreements prior to the Strategic Directors becoming related parties of the Company. Accordingly, the Board resolved at the time of the Strategic Board Restructure Agreements being entered into that Shareholder approval pursuant to Section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Incentive Options to the Strategic Directors, given the provision of the financial benefit is to be considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.

ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the grant of the Incentive Options involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception under ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 provides that an issue of equity securities under an agreement or transaction between the entity and a person who would not otherwise be a related party but for the fact that they believe, or have reasonable grounds to believe, that they are likely to become a related party in the future because of the agreement or transaction. The Strategic Board Restructure Agreements executed between the Company and Strategic Directors, which included the issue of the 345,000,000 Incentive Options to the Strategic Directors, were agreed to and executed prior to the Strategic Directors’ appointment as directors of the Company, and therefore prior to them becoming a related party of the Company.

As such, the Company considers that it can rely upon ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 and therefore not seek shareholder approval prior to the issue of the Incentive Options should it choose to.

Notwithstanding the Company’s position that it can rely on Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 for the issue of the Incentive Options should it choose to, it instead proposes to obtain shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Options to the Strategic Directors under Listing Rule 10.11 for the for the purpose of transparency and good corporate governance.

==> picture [77 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:

  • a related party;

  • a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Incentive Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 (a related party) and, notwithstanding the Company’s position that ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 12 applies, the Company has sought to obtain approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Relationship that requires Shareholder approval

Messrs Jewson, Cranston, Kumova and Rushton are Related Parties of the Company under section 228 of the Corporations Act, and related parties for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.1, by virtue of being Directors of the Company.

Issue price of the securities

The Incentive Options will be issued for nil consideration, however, if exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions (as set out in Schedule 3), the Incentive Options have an exercise price of $0.004 per Option.

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Purpose of the issue and intended use of funds raised

The purpose of the issue of the Incentive Options is to provide an equity component in the remuneration packages for the Strategic Directors under the Strategic Board Restructure Agreements to align their interests with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Strategic Directors in their role as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the Strategic Directors which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to them.

The Incentive Options will be issued for nil consideration. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Incentive Options. However, if all of the Incentive Options issued are exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions (as set out in Schedule 3), a total of $1,380,000 will be raised from the exercise thereof which will be used towards exploration activities at the time of exercise and or general working capital expenses.
