ITEM 2: Adoption of Remuneration Report for the twelve-month reporting period ended 31 December 2020 (advisory only resolution)

Shareholders (other than excluded shareholders) are entitled to vote on the question whether the Remuneration Report as contained in the Annual Report for the twelve-month reporting period ended 31 December 2020 is to be adopted. Shareholders should note, however, that this is an "advisory only" resolution, which does not bind the Directors of the Company.

Mr Nicholas Andrews and Dewberri Pty Limited as trustee for Andrews Superannuation Fund, Mr John Talbot, Mr Derryn Chin, Mr Christoph Klein-Schmeink, Mr Patrick Look and Mr Xunyou Tong and any of their associates are not entitled to cast a vote on this resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Andrews) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

ITEM 3: Re-election of Director – Mr Zhongjun Li (ordinary resolution)

Under clause 12.3(a) of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a director must not retain office for a period in excess of 3 years or beyond the third annual general meeting following his election (whichever is the longer period), without submitting himself for re-election. As this meeting will be the third annual general meeting since Mr Li’s re-appointment as a director by shareholders (on 10 May 2018 at the 2018 AGM) Mr Li will retire and stand for re-election at the meeting. Under clause 12.6 (a) of the Constitution, the resolution to appoint Mr Li is not required to be preceded by a shareholder nomination.

In circumstances where the shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 and Resolution 3 is passed, Mr Li will be re-appointed as a NonExecutive director with effect from the end of the meeting and (assuming shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4, the re-election of Mr Kangmin Xie ) the Directorship profile of the Magontec Board will remain unchanged.

In circumstances where the shareholders do not vote in favour of Resolution 3, Mr Li will not be re-appointed as a Non-Executive director giving rise to a possible change in the Magontec Directorship profile.

Mr Li is a member of Magontec’s Remuneration and Appointments Committee. He is the owner of Tianjin Keweier Metal Material Co Ltd (KWE) in China. He is a graduate of Wuhan University of Technology and spent 10 years at Tianjin Auto Industry Company Ltd. For more than 10 years, Mr Li has built a trading and manufacturing business that specialises in magnesium products. KWE has facilities located in Hong Kong and Tianjin and possesses a broad experience of the global magnesium industry. Via KWE and another shareholding, Mr Li is a major beneficial shareholder in Magontec Limited. International travel restrictions during the pandemic have resulted in Mr Li providing support to Magontec’s Chinese management in monitoring the progress of financial restructuring at Qinghai Salt Lake Magnesium Co. Ltd.

The Board (other than Mr Li) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

ITEM 4: Re-election of Director – Mr Kangmin Xie (ordinary resolution)

Under clause 12.3(a) of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a director must not retain office for a period in excess of 3 years or beyond the third annual general meeting following his election (whichever is the longer period), without submitting himself for re-election. As this meeting will be the third annual general meeting since Mr Xie’s re-appointment as a director by shareholders (on 10 May 2018 at the 2018 AGM) Mr Xie will retire and stand for re-election at the meeting. Under clause 12.6 (a) of the Constitution, the resolution to appoint Mr Xie is not required to be preceded by a shareholder nomination.

In circumstances where the shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 and Resolution 3 is passed, Mr Xie will be re-appointed as a NonExecutive director with effect from the end of the meeting and (assuming shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3, the re-election of Mr Zhongjun Li ) the Directorship profile of the Magontec Board will remain unchanged.

In circumstances where the shareholders do not vote in favour of Resolution 3, Mr Xie will not be re-appointed as a Non-Executive director giving rise to a possible change in the Magontec Directorship profile including possible disturbance to contractual arrangements with Qinghai Salt Lake Magnesium Co. Ltd.

Mr Xie is a member of Magontec’s Finance, Audit and Compliance Committee. He is a Senior Engineer and holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Mining) degree from Chongqing University. Mr Xie is Chairman of Qinghai Huixin Asset Management Co., Ltd the parent company of Qinghai Salt Lake Magnesium Limited (QSLM). QSLM is a shareholder to the extent of 28.72% in Magontec Limited and is the company with whom Magontec Limited has concluded a number of agreements in relation to the Magontec Qinghai alloy production facility at Golmud in Qinghai Province PRC. Mr Xie has been associated with various developments in the Qinghai Salt Lake district since 1984 and through this period has held a number of roles.

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

ITEM 5: Issue of Performance Rights to the Executive Chairman Mr Nicholas Andrews in relation to the three-year long-term Performance Period commencing 1 January 2022 (ordinary resolution)

1. Basis of Shareholders’ Approval

The Company is proposing to issue 9,375,000 Performance Rights (which are classified as equity securities) to a Director, Mr Andrews ( Issue ) consistent with Column 4 of Table 5 of the Explanatory Note to Resolution 5 passed by shareholders at the 2020 AGM.

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:

10.14.1 a director of the company;

10.14.2 an associate of a director of the company; or

10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders, unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Issue is a proposed issue of securities under the “2020 Shareholder Approved Plan” approved by shareholders at Resolution 5a of the 2020 AGM. The Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14. Resolution 5 seeks the required shareholder approval for the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Issue and the consequences set out in the table at 2b. below may apply.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Issue and the consequences set out in the table at 2a. below may apply.

Details of any securities issued under the “2020 Shareholder Approved Plan” will be published in the annual report of the entity relating to a period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

The Board (other than Mr Andrews) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

ITEM 6: Alteration of the Constitution of Magontec Ltd to incorporate Poll Voting as the default voting process (special resolution)

  • (a) Current Constitution

The Company’s current Constitution can be located –

  • on the Company’s website (magontec.com) and follow the tabs “Investor Centre”, “Corporate Governance”, “Magontec Limited Constitution” (at the foot of the page) and “Constitution of Magontec Limited” or

  • copy this address into your web browser http://magontec.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/MGL_Constitution.pdf

Essentially, the current Constitution compels the use of a “show of hands vote” to determine the voting outcome at General Meetings, unless the Chairman of the meeting or certain shareholders (in respect of each Resolution) demand a poll by activating Section 250L(1)(c) of the Corporations Act and/or Article 11.14 of the Company’s Constitution.

N OTIC E OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Limited

(b) Why the Changes are Proposed

The changes now proposed to the Constitution will install Poll Voting as the default process and a show of hands vote as the alternative voting process if demanded by the Chairman. The proposed change –

  • responds to the call amongst Corporate Governance commentators for Companies to move to a poll voting process; and

  • will bring the Company’s voting protocols into line with Recommendation 6.4 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 4[th] Edition (“A listed entity should ensure that all substantive resolutions at a meeting of security holders are decided by a poll rather than by a show of hands.”).

  • (c) Poll Vote Versus Show of Hands Vote

On a show of hands vote each member present at the meeting has one vote regardless of the number of shares they hold. On a poll vote, each member (present at the meeting and voting via proxy) has one vote for each share they hold. Thus, governance authorities argue that because the poll vote weights each shareholder’s vote according to shares held, and recognises the voting wishes of those shareholders not in attendance at the meeting, it is a fairer form of representation.

  • (d) Changes to the Constitution

  • i. Article 11.14 to be altered by –

    • deleting crossed through existing text as shown below; and

    • adding new highlighted black text as shown below.

“Voting on show of hands

At any general meeting (including a general meeting held partly by means of electronic facility or facilities) a resolution put to the vote of the meeting must be decided on a show of hands by a poll unless the chairman determines that the resolution must be decided on a show of

hands of the members present and entitled to vote ~~. unless a poll is effectively demanded and the demand is not withdrawn~~ . A declaration by the chairman………….”.

ii. The existing Article 11.15 is to be deleted and the following new article 11.15 inserted.

  • Poll

  • (a) If a resolution is to be decided by poll, any poll may close at different times for different classes of shareholder or for different shareholders of the same class entitled to vote on the relevant resolution.

  • (b) If a resolution is put to a poll or a poll is effectively demanded:

  • (i) it must be taken in the manner and at the date and time directed by the chairman and the result of the poll is a resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded;

  • (ii) on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment, it must be taken immediately:

  • (iii) the demand may be withdrawn; and

  • (iv) the demand does not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded.”

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

By order of the board.
