E X P L A N A T O R Y N O T E S

ITEM 1: Financial Report and Directors’ and Audit Report

The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requires that the Financial Report, including the Directors’ Declaration for the year ended 30 June 2011 and the related Directors’ Report and Auditors’ Report, be laid before the Annual General Meeting. In addition, the Company’s Constitution provides for such reports and statements to be received and considered at the meeting. None of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the ASX Listing Rules or the Company’s Constitution requires a vote of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on such reports or statements. However, shareholders will be given ample opportunity to raise questions with respect to these reports and statements at the meeting.

ITEM 2: Adoption of Remuneration Report (advisory only resolution)

Shareholders are entitled to vote on the question whether the Remuneration Report as contained in the Annual Report is to be adopted. Shareholders should note, however, that this is an "advisory only" resolution which does not bind the Directors of the Company.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

ITEM 3: Election of Director (ordinary resolution)

On 4 March 2011 Mr Robert Shaw was appointed as a Director of the Company under Article 11.1(f). That article state;s

“The Directors may at any time appoint any person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors but so that the total number of Directors shall not at any time exceed the number determined in accordance with this Constitution.”

  • The resolution at Item 3 gives effect to Article 11.1(g) which states;

“Any Director appointed in accordance with Clause 11.1(f) shall (unless in the meantime he has been appointed a managing Director) hold office only until the next following annual general meeting and shall then be eligible for re-election.”

Under Article 11.1(d) the resolution to appoint Mr Shaw is not required to be preceded by a shareholder nomination.

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

ITEM 4: Change of Name of the Company (special resolution)

One of the purposes of the acquisition of the Magontec group of companies by AML was to provide AML with an established marketing and distribution platform for its magnesium alloy technology assets and newly established magnesium alloy manufacturing joint venture in China.

The name Magontec is a well established and valuable brand in the magnesium alloy manufacturing sector with production units in China, Germany and Romania. Magontec has a well developed marketing and distribution function with representatives in Europe, Asia, Japan and the

A D V A N C E D M A G N E S I U M L I M I T E D | 3

N OTICE OF ANNUA L GENERAL MEETING

==> picture [109 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Americas. The Magontec brand and marketing network has been established over a period of four years and builds on its long history, stretching back to 1953, including a long period of ownership by Norsk Hydro.

The Directors of AML are of the view that the change of name to Magontec will

  • enhance the ability of the group to conduct business in all regions of the World;

  • provide investors and customers with a recognisable, reputable and valuable brand; and

  • signal the new strategic direction of the Company to become a global industry participant in the delivery of generic and enhanced magnesium alloys.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

ITEM 5: Ratification of Share Issue to Straits Mine Management Pty Limited (SMM) (ordinary resolution)

On 4 July 2011 AML agreed to acquire the Magontec group of companies from SMM at a purchase price of $5,595,501. Also on that date AML issued 40,499,167 shares to SMM at a price of $0.055 to SMM as part payment for the purchase price. The shares issued to SMM had a value of $2,227,454 leaving an amount of $3,368,047 owing to SMM.

This resolution seeks shareholder ratification of the issue of 40,499,167 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.055 per share made on 4 July 2011, with a value of $2,227,454. The shares so issued were ordinary shares that ranked pari passu with other ordinary shares.

Subject to certain exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities in any 12 month period which amount to more than 15% of the company’s ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that period without shareholder approval.

The exception to this rule contained in Listing Rule 7.4 provides an issue made within the 15% limit will be treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 if subsequently approved by shareholders, thereby “refreshing” the Company’s ability to issue shares within the 15% limit, and restoring the Company’s ability to make placements within that limit (if that is thought desirable) without the need for shareholder approval.

While the shares described in this Resolution 5 were issued within the 15% limit, the Company seeks shareholder ratification of the issue of those shares for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4, so that the Company’s ability to issue securities will be “refreshed” and it will have flexibility to issue further securities should the need or opportunity arise.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

ITEM 6: Ratification of the Issue of a Convertible Loan Note to SMM (ordinary resolution)

SMM’s entitlement to the balance of the purchase price of $3,368,047 described above in Explanatory Note Item 5 is governed by the terms of a Convertible Loan Note ( CLN ) issued by AML to SMM for $3,368,047. The CLN has the following key conditions.

  • i. No interest is payable before 4 July 2012.

  • ii. No interest is payable after 4 July 2012 if shareholders of the Company pass a resolution in a general meeting approving the right of SMM to convert any amount outstanding under the CLN into shares in the Company.

  • iii. If such resolution is not passed by 4 July 2012 the amount then outstanding under the CLN will attract interest at the 6 month bank bill swap (BBSW) rate plus a margin of 4%.

  • iv. The Company must pay the amount owing under the CLN by 4 July 2012 unless it is converted into shares.

If shareholders of the Company approve the availability of the right to convert the amount outstanding under the CLN to shares of the Company, SMM may, on or after 4 July 2012, convert any amount then outstanding under the CLN into shares in the Company at a price of $0.055 per share.

A right of conversion will provide flexibility to both the Company and SMM to manage cash and market conditions that will prevail at the due date for repayment on 4 July 2012.

The Company seeks shareholder ratification of the issue of the CLN on the broad terms and conditions outlined above. Separate approval for the issue of any shares that relate to the SMM’s election to convert the balance of the CLN into shares will be sought closer to the likely date of issue of such shares.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

ITEM 8(a): Approval of a Plan for the Issue of Securities to the Executives of the Company and its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (ordinary resolution)

The Remuneration and Appointments Committee (REM Committee) of the Board undertook an extensive review of executive remuneration in August 2011. Part of that review involved;

  • determining the level of standard remuneration for the Executive Chairman; and

  • installing an appropriate reward and incentive arrangement in addition to the standard remuneration.

The review was conducted by an external consultant and was required to assess current reward and incentive packages for senior executives and to recommend an appropriate scheme for future remuneration packages to be offered to executives within the AML corporate office and the senior executives of AML’s newly acquired subsidiary, Magontec.

The report identified that the senior executives of AML had been under-compensated by comparison with market remuneration levels for similar sized businesses in recent years and recommended that short-term and long-term incentive schemes should be put in place.

Subsequent to this review the Board approved a recommendation from the REM Committee for both the establishment of a plan for the issue of securities to Executives and the immediate allocation of certain securities. This resolution deals with the establishment of plan with the principles described below. The Company is seeking shareholder approval of the plan so that the issue of securities under the plan will fall within Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2.

Short Term Reward

A one off bonus share grant to be made to the Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer (refer Item 8(b)) having regard to

  • the improved foundation for the Company following the acquisition of Magontec;

  • sub market remuneration paid during their previous employment tenures; and

  • extraordinary demands of the time allocated to their work, travel and living for periods in a remote location..

N OTICE OF ANNUA L GENERAL MEETING

The REM Committee has recommended that no further short-term bonus payment be offered to executives of the Company (including Magontec) until the Retention Rights proposed for senior executives of Magontec has been fully satisfied.

Retention Rights Scheme

This involves the allocation of shares of the Company, to five nominated incoming senior executives of Magontec. Retention Rights will be equivalent to one-year’s salary for each of these executives. Shares issued under this scheme are linked to the profitability of AML over the next four years and will be priced at the 10-day VWAP of the Company’s shares in the period prior to the date of grant of each award as follows:

  • a minimum award of 10% will be made on the day following the 2011 AGM;

  • dependent on profitability of the Company, additional awards will be made on each of 1 July 2012, 1 July 2013, and 1 July 2014 but in any event a minimum award of 10% of the total award will be made on each of these dates; and

  • any residual Retention Rights outstanding on 1 July 2015 will be awarded on that date.

Shares issued under the Retention Rights scheme will vest 18 months after the grant date and once vested will not be escrowed.

Long Term Incentive Scheme (LTIS)

The consultant recommended that a two part LTIS be made available to qualifying executives not currently in receipt of awards under the Retention Rights Scheme.

The first part of the LTIS offers qualifying executives of the Company 5 year Premium Exercise Price Options (PEPOs) to be issued on 1 July each year. These instruments will have an exercise price set at a 66.7% premium to the 10 day VWAP share price prior to the date of grant. PEPOs are not subject to vesting conditions, would have a nil taxable value at grant and are not subject to performance criteria. The first allocation of PEPOs will occur on 1 July 2012.

The second part of the LTIS offers qualifying executives of the Company Performance Share Rights ( PSRs - rights to AML shares for a nil exercise price). Award of PSRs is subject to performance criteria to be agreed with each recipient.

The first award of PSRs is to be made subject to a review by the REM Committee of qualitative and quantitative performance targets following the publication of the 2014 financial year results. Executives participating in the Retentions Rights Scheme will not be entitled to participate in the LTIS until the Retention Rights proposed for senior executives of Magontec has been fully satisfied.

For the those executives entitled to participate in the LTIS t he REM Committee recommends the following targets be incorporated into the service contracts of qualifying executives:

  • 50% of available Performance Share Rights to be awarded for delivery of an average annual Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) growth rate of 10% over a three-year period. The base NOPAT for measuring this award in financial year 2012 will be A$1.5 million.

  • • 50% of available Performance Share Rights to be awarded at the discretion of the Board for delivery against various qualitative benchmarks and Key Performance Indicators to be established by the Chair of the REM Committee and included in the service contracts of qualifying executives.

The REM Committee has proposed that incentives under the LTIS be split 50/50 between the two parts of the LTIS

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8(a).
