ITEM 2: Confirmation of Adoption of 2011Remuneration Report (advisory only resolution)

The resolution proposed at Item 2 of the agenda for the Annual General Meeting held on 22 November 2011 was ambiguous. It referred to the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2010 whilst referencing the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2011. The minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 22 November 2011 summarised the discussion in relation to Item 2 (Remuneration Report) of the 2011agenda as follows.

To address ambiguity in the wording of this resolution (incorrect reference to the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2010) the Chairman stated that, for the purpose of clarity, it is intended that the Annual General Meeting for 2012 will contain two resolutions in relation to adoption of the remuneration report - one resolution in respect of the remuneration report for 2011 and another for the remuneration report for 2012.

After the resolution had been moved and seconded, and discussions allowed, it was then resolved to adopt the Remuneration Report.”

The proposed resolution confirms adoption of the 2011 Remuneration Report.

ITEM 3: Adoption of 2012 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 3.

ITEM 4: Election of Director (ordinary resolution)

Mr Li was initially appointed to the Board of the Company on 31 August 2009. In terms of clause 11.4(a)(i) of the Company’s constitution Mr Li’s current tenure as a Director ceases as at the date of this AGM.

He has been nominated (by Mr Nicholas Andrews) to continue to act a Director. A copy of that nomination is provided in the 2012 AGM material dispatched to shareholders.

Mr Li is the principal shareholder of KWE (HK) Investment Development Co Limited (KWEHK) a substantial shareholder of Magontec Limited. Mr. Li graduated from Wuhan University of Technology. He worked in the auto industry (manufacturing design) for 10 years. For more than 13 years he has owned and operated a metal recycling business (with a focus on magnesium). His experience and knowledge of the China metals market and understanding of the business practices in China will be an important adjunct to the Company as it gears up for the commencement of the project at Golmud and its co-operation agreement with Qinghai Salt Lake Magnesium Limited.

The Board (other than Mr Zhongjun Li) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

ITEM 5: Election of Director (ordinary resolution)

Mr Xie has been nominated (by Mr Nicholas Andrews) to act a Director of the Company. A copy of that nomination is provided in the 2012 AGM material dispatched to shareholders.

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

Upon acquisition by the Company on 4 July 2011of the Magontec group of companies from SMM, an amount of $12,855,603 was owing to SMM under a Loan Agreement.

  • a) On 8 September 2011 an amount of $640,405 was repaid to SMM.

  • b) On 22 August 2012 an amount of $899,954 was paid by the Company to SMM in satisfaction of interest due to 4 July 2012. c) As at 22 August 2012 an amount of $12,215,198 remained outstanding to SMM.

SMM has agreed “in principle” to re-organise this debt as follows.

  • d) The Company will reduce the debt owing to SMM by the amount of $2,000,000 within 5 days following the allotment date of shares under an equity raising to be conducted by Magontec Limited (the details of which are yet to be determined by the Board).

  • e) Upon this reduction being effected then, in the period on and after 5 July 2012 the residual debt ($10,215,198) will attract no interest.

  • f) The Company will issue Convertible Loan Note 2 (CLN 2) to SMM with the following principal terms

  • i. Compulsory Conversion : If SMM has not exercised its right to convert CLN 2 then, at the Maturity Date, the note will automatically convert into the number of ordinary shares of MGL in accordance with the formula in the Conversion Ratio.

  • ii. Optional Conversion : SMM may elect to convert at any time in the period to and including the day prior to the maturity date a portion or all of its notes into the relevant portion of the number of ordinary shares of MGL.

  • iii. Conversion Price: The price at which shareholders will subscribe for shares under an equity raising to be conducted by the Company.

  • iv. C onversion Ratio: CLN 2 will convert into the number of ordinary shares of MGL determined by the formula –

    • Face Value ÷ Conversion Price + additional ordinary shares to compensate for any dilution resulting from the issue of ordinary shares in the period after the date of the second convertible loan note to the date of its conversion.
  • v. Interest rate: Zero

  • vi. Face Value : $3,500,000.

  • vii. Issue Date : Within 5 business days following the date of Shareholder Approval of the issue of CLN2.

  • viii. Maturity Date: the date 3 years after the Issue Date.

  • ix. Note Holder Redemption: SMM may require the Company to redeem the notes at any time for Face Value in the period from six months prior to the Maturity Date to and including the day prior to the Maturity Date. The ability to redeem CLN 2 under this provision lapses in the event of sale of CLN 2 by SMM.

  • x. Ranking : The note will rank equally with all other unsecured creditors.

  • xi. Security: Nil

  • g) Subject to the debt reduction of $2,000,000 (in d) and issue of CLN 2, SMM will agree to reduce the Company’s liability to $2,100,046.

  • h) The Company will agree to repay the amount outstanding ($2,100,046) on or before 31 December 2014.

  • i) In the event Shareholder Approval to the issue of the CLN 2 is not obtained then the terms of the existing Loan Agreement remain in place but with the following amendments acknowledged in a supplementary document to the Loan Agreement.

  • The amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement as at the date Shareholder Approval has been denied by MGL shareholders is acknowledged by the Parties to be $10,215,198.

  • The interest rate regime specified in the Loan Agreement would continue to apply to the residual loan from the date Shareholder Approval has been denied.

The effect of CLN 2 on the capital structure of the Company is dependent upon the “Conversion Price” including any gross up for the effects of dilution. Table 1 in this note shows the potential number of shares to be issued under various scenarios for the “Conversion Price”. The potential number of shares to be issued at conversion ignores any gross up to compensate for any effect of dilution to the date of conversion.

Conversion Price Assumptions Conversion Price Potential Number of Shares Issued
50% below “Benchmark Price” $0.0145 172,413,793
“Benchmark Price” = Share price close of business 19 October 2011 $0.0290 86,206,897
50% above “Benchmark Price” $0.0435 57,471,264

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

ITEM 7: Approval for a Possible Issue of Ordinary Shares to Straits Mine Management Pty Limited (ordinary resolution)

A precursor to the debt re-organisation structure in Item 6 is the reduction of the SMM debt by $2,000,000 via the proceeds of an equity raising to be conducted by the Company (refer point d of the Explanatory Note at Item 6). The Company wishes to have the option to achieve this reduction (wholly or partially) via the issue of shares to SMM (refer Resolution 7). The debt re-organisation arrangements are yet to be fully

M A G O N T E C L I M I T E D | 5

N OTICE OF ANNUA L GENERAL MEETING

Limited

documented and having the option to achieve the necessary $2,000,000 debt reduction via a combination of cash payment and ordinary shares will provide the Company with maximum flexibility to satisfy balance sheet and cash management objectives.

If, in the detailed negotiation of the debt re-organisation arrangements, the parties agree that the $2,000,000 debt reduction, or part thereof, be achieved via the issue of ordinary shares, then such shares will be issued at a price equal to the 10 day volume weighted average price of MGL shares in the period to the day of execution of the formal debt re-organisation arrangements.

Any ordinary shares issued to SMM in terms of this approval will not exceed 80,000,000 on the assumption the relevant 10 day VWAP is not less than $0.025 per share. The Company will be able to issue ordinary shares under this approval to the extent of 80,000,000 notwithstanding the relevant VWAP is less than $0.025 per share. Any shares issued in terms of this approval will be issued within three months of the date of shareholder approval. However, the arrangements with SMM are likely to be concluded by 31 December 2012 and any shares issued at the conclusion date.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution7.

ITEM 8: Amendment of Existing Convertible Loan Note Issued to Straits Mine Management Pty Limited (SMM) (ordinary resolution)

On 4 July 2011the Company issued a Convertible Loan Note (referred to as CLN 1) for $3,368,047 to Straits Mine Management Pty Limited (SMM) for the balance of the purchase price due in respect of the Company’s acquisition of the Magontec group of companies. At the 2011 AGM (Item 6 of the 2011 Notice of Annual General Meeting) shareholders approved the terms of issue of CLN 1.

The current terms of CLN 1 require SMM to convert all of the notes into shares of the Company (at a price of $0.055 per share) on the earlier of

  • the anniversary date (4 July 2012); and

  • the date on which an exit event occurs (essentially, a sale or wind up of Magontec Limited).

As part of the debt re-organisation arrangements described in Item 6, it is proposed that the conversion terms of CLN 1 be amended as follows:

“All (but not some only) of the Notes held by the Noteholder (SMM) must, unless those Notes have been, or are to be, converted under a Conversion Notice, be redeemed on the earlier of:

  1. 1 July 2014; and

  2. the date on which an exit event occurs.”

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

ITEM 9: Approval of Issue of Shares to Qinghai Salt Lake Magnesium Limited (ordinary resolution)

On 21 June 2012 Magontec Limited issued 55,435,784 ordinary shares to Qinghai Salt Lake Magnesium Limited (QSLM) as part of the arrangements described in the Company’s release dated 20 June 2012 and released to the market 21 June 2012. Full details of the shares issued to QSLM are given in the Attachment to that release. The proceeds of the issue form part of the overall funding required by MGL to meet the capital expenditure on plant and equipment for the cast house operations at Golmud.

This resolution seeks shareholder ratification of the issue of 55,435,784 ordinary shares on 21 June 2012 at an issue price of $0.03759 per share, with a value of $2,083,831. 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 9 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 9.

ITEM 10(a): Approval of Issue of Securities to Executives of the Group

At the 2011 Annual General meeting of the Company held on 22 November 2011 and in terms of Resolution 8(a) shareholders approved a plan – referred to as the Executives Securities Issue Plan (ESIP) - for the issue of shares to Executives of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Shares issued under this scheme are linked to the profitability of MGL 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:

  3. a minimum award of 10% was made on the day following the 2011 AGM;

  4. 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

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

  6. Long term incentive scheme.

Table 1 in this note identifies the executives eligible to participate in the ESIP.

Additionally, because of the importance of the Company’s senior executive staff to the successful implementation of the strategically important Golmud project, all shares issued under all components of the plan to all senior executives (including those shares issued in 2011) will vest at the earlier of

  • successful commissioning of the group’s plant at Golmud; and

  • 30 June 2014.

Once vested the shares will not be escrowed.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11(a).

ITEM 10(b): Change of Terms of Issue of Shares to Messrs Andrews and Talbot (ordinary resolution)

All shares issued under the plan to Messrs Andrews and Talbot in 2011 will vest at the earlier of

  • successful commissioning of the group’s plant at Golmud; and

  • 30 June 2014.

Additionally, the shares will be forfeited if the relevant executive resigns, or his employment is terminated by the Company “for cause’ on or before 30 June 2014.

The Board (other than Mr Andrews) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11(b).
