RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – Ratification of Prior Issues of Shares

Background

On 13 January 2010, the Company advised that it had issued 400,000 new Shares at an issue price of $0.30 per Share in lieu of fees for consulting and for reimbursement of fees and expenses paid in Cambodia and Thailand (" First Placement "). Shareholder ratification of the 400,000 Shares the subject of the First Placement is being sought pursuant to Resolution 4.

In addition, in the Company’s ASX announcement of 2 February 2010, it was stated that the Company intended to raise $4,423,000 via a placement of 11,700,000 new Shares at the following issue price:

  • 5,000,000 Shares at $0.33 per Share

  • 6,000,000 Shares at $0.398 per Share

  • 770,000 Shares at $0.50 per Share

The placement of the new Shares was made to the Shandong Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources and affiliated entities (SDGM) with the funds being used to further develop the iron ore and gold projects within the Norseman Gold Project and to commence negotiations in good faith to form a strategic project exploration and mine development partnership commencing with Matsa’s Norseman Project.

SDGM which was founded 50 years ago, is an active provincial state owned entity which has extensive technical expertise in mining and exploration and significant capital backing that is being applied to numerous Chinese investments worldwide.

The Company issued an additional 387,012 new Shares at an issue price of $0.40 per Share in lieu of consultancy services provided to the Company associated with the placement. That placement was made on 25 March 2010 following receipt of Foreign Investment Review Board (“FIRB”) approval (" Second Placement "). Shareholder ratification of the 12,157,012 Shares the subject of the Second Placement is being sought pursuant to Resolution 5.

Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may not (without shareholder approval) issue equity securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital within any 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without prior shareholder approval can be ratified (and treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1) if:

  • the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • holders of ordinary securities subsequently approve it.

Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder ratification (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4) of the issue of a total of 12,557,012 Shares the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 in order to reinstate the Company’s capacity to issue up to 15% of its ordinary capital, if required, in the next 12 months without Shareholder approval.

Additional Information

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

First Placement

  • (a) 400,000 Shares were issued.

  • (b) These Shares were issued at $0.30 each.

  • (c) These Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank pari passu with all other Shares on issue.

  • (d) The issue was made to a consultant of the Company who was not a related party of the Company at the time of the First Placement.

  • (e) The purpose of the issue was in lieu of fees for consulting and for reimbursement of fees and expenses paid in Cambodia and Thailand amounting to $120,000. No monies were raised from the First Placement.

Second Placement

  • (a) 12,157,012 Shares were issued.

  • (b) These Shares were issued at follows:

  • 5,000,000 Shares at $0.33 per Share

  • 6,000,000 Shares at $0.398 per Share

  • 770,000 Shares at $0.50 per Share

  • 387,012 Shares at $0.40 per Share

  • (c) These Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank pari passu with all other Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Shares were allotted to the Shandong Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources and affiliated entities (SDGM) with an additional 387,012 Shares issued to a consultant who assisted with the placement. None of the allottees were related parties of the Company at the time of the Second Placement.

  • (e) The purpose of the issue was to raise funds to further develop the iron ore and gold projects within the Norseman Gold Project and to commence negotiations in good faith to form a strategic project exploration and mine development partnership commencing with Matsa’s Norseman Project and in lieu of consultants fees relating to the placement.

RESOLUTION 7 – Employee Share Option Plan

Resolution 7 seeks shareholder approval, for the purposes of Rule 7.2 (exception 9) of the Listing Rules of ASX Limited and for all other purposes, for the Matsa Resources Limited Employee Share Option Plan 2010 ( Replacement Plan ) and the issue of securities under that Plan. If shareholder approval for Resolution 7 is obtained, all options issued by the Company under the Replacement Plan ( Options ) will be excluded from the 15% limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 3 years from the date of the approval.

The Company previously approved an employee share option plan on 28 November 2007 ( Former Plan ). The Board has decided to replace the Former Plan with the Replacement Plan due to the expiry of the Former Plan on 28 November 2010, and the need to have an active plan as it forms an important component of remuneration of employees, particularly in

light of current market conditions. The Company has sought in the Replacement Plan to also clarify the operation of certain aspects of the Former Plan. A copy of the Replacement Plan is included in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement.

The purpose of the Replacement Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees of the Company.

If the Replacement Plan is approved by shareholders, the Former Plan will be terminated. This will not affect any Options issued under the Former Plan which have not lapsed. These Options will continue to be held in accordance with the terms and conditions which already apply to them. The Board has discretion to deal with any issues that arise in relation to the transition from the Former Plan to the Replacement Plan.

Notwithstanding the approval of the Replacement Plan, this does not increase the capacity of the Company to issue options beyond the thresholds specified in the Corporations Act 2001. In particular, the total number of shares the subject of options issued under all plans must not exceed 5% of the then issued share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis, subject to certain exceptions stated in the Corporations Act 2001.

The number of Options issued under the Former Plan since it was approved by shareholders on 28 November 2007 is 3,520,000 of which 520,000 have since been cancelled and of which 50,000 have been exercised.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 7 is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of it.

The full terms and conditions of the Replacement Plan are set out in Annexure A of this Notice.

The following is a summary of the key terms of the Replacement Plan:

  • (i) The Options are exercisable wholly or in part at any time before 5.00 pm AWST on the last day of the exercise period. Options not exercised by that date shall lapse.

  • (ii) Each Option shall entitle the option holder to acquire one fully paid ordinary Share upon payment of the sum of the exercise price specified in the offer accepted by the Participant. The exercise price will be an amount determined by the Board as the subscription price per Share prior to the offer of the Option in accordance with Rule 6 payable by a Participant on exercise of the Option

  • (iii) The Options are non-transferable unless to a nominee or otherwise approved by the Board.

  • (iv) Each Option may be exercised by notice in writing to the Company at any time before their date of expiry. Any notice of exercise of an Option received by the Company with payment in full of the exercise price will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Option as at the date of receipt.

  • (v) Application will not be made to ASX for official quotation of the Options. Application will be made for official quotation of the Shares issued upon exercise of Options.

  • (vi) An Option will lapse immediately upon the first to occur of its expiry date or the holder acting fraudulently or dishonestly in relation to the Company.

  • (vii) An Option will lapse 1 month after voluntary resignation from employment or engagement by the party to whom an offer of Options was made (whether or not the Options are held by that person or a nominee).

  • (viii) An Option will lapse one year after the death, permanent disability or redundancy of the party to whom an offer of Options was made (whether or not the Options are held by that person or a nominee).

  • (ix) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and option holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of securities offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 7 business days after the issue is announced so as to give option holders the opportunity to exercise their Options before the date for determining entitlements to participate in any issue.

  • (ix) Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of Options will be allotted following receipt of all the relevant documents and payments and will rank equally with the issued Shares.

  • (x) In the event of a reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, all rights of the option holder shall be reconstructed in accordance with the Listing Rules.

  • (xi) If, from time to time, before the expiry of the Options the Company makes a pro-rata issue of Shares to shareholders for no consideration, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the option holder would have received if the option had been exercised before the date for calculating entitlements to the pro-rata issue.

RESOLUTIONS 8, 9 AND 10 – Issue of Director Options

The Company proposes to issue a total of 4,250,000 Director Options (each with an exercise price of $0.45 each and each exercisable on or before 30 November 2013) for nil consideration, to each of Messrs Paul Poli, Andrew Chapman and Frank Sibbel (" Participating Directors "), or their nominees. The terms of the Director Options are set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum.

The Director Options will be issued as follows:

Director Number of Director Options
Paul Poli, or his nominee(s) 2,750,000
Andrew Chapman, or his nominee(s) 750,000
Frank Sibbel, or his nominee(s) 750,000
Total 4,250,000

The issue of Director Options encourages the Participating Directors to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through share ownership. Under the Company’s current circumstances the Directors consider that the incentives intended for the Participating Directors represented by the issue of these Director Options are a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and an incentive, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash compensation.

The number of Director Options to be issued to each of the Participating Directors has been determined based upon a consideration of:

  • the remuneration of the Directors;

  • the Directors' wish to ensure that the remuneration offered is competitive with market standards. The Directors have considered the proposed number of Director Options to be issued will ensure that the Participating Directors’ overall remunerations is in line with market standards; and

  • incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of directors who have appropriate knowledge and expertise.

In the event the Director Options are exercised, the amounts that will need to be paid to the Company by the Participating Directors will be $1912,500 to exercise their respective Director Options. The Company would therefore receive a total of $1,912,500 from the Participating Directors in order for the Participating Directors to exercise their Director Options.

The proposed ordinary Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 would have the effect of giving power to the Directors to issue a total of 4,250,000 Director Options on the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum and as otherwise mentioned above.

The Company currently has 119,010,963 quoted Shares and the following unquoted Options on issue:

Number Exercise Price Expiry Date
400,000 $0.50 5 December 2010
400,000 $1.00 5 December 2010
100,000 (employee) $0.50 5 December 2010
100,000 (employee) $1.00 5 December 2010
250,000 (employee) $0.625 16 April 2011
250,000 (employee) $0.75 16 April 2011
250,000 (employee) $1.00 16 April 2011
7,800,000 $0.35 1 July 2011
9,000,000 $0.50 1 July 2012
2,000,000 $0.273 26 November 2012
1,200,000 $0.273 31 December 2012
2,300,000 $0.40 31 August 2013

If all Director Options issued as proposed above are exercised, and assuming no existing Options on issue have been exercised, the effect would be to dilute the share holding of existing Shareholders by 3.57%. The market price of the Company’s Shares during the period of the Director Options will normally determine whether or not the Participating Directors exercise the Director Options. At the time any Director Options are exercised and Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of the Director Options, the Company’s Shares may be trading at a price which is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options.

The Participating Directors’ fees/salary per annum (including superannuation) and the total financial benefit to be received by them in this current period as a result of the issue of the Director Options the subject of Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 are as follows:

Director Fees/salary
p.a.
($)
Value of Director
Options
($)
Total Financial
Benefit ($)
Paul Poli 239,192 407,000 646,192
Andrew Chapman 89,800 111,000 200,800
Frank Sibbel 57,051 111,000 168,051

The indicative option valuation of 14.8 cents is a theoretical valuation of each Director Option using the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Valuation of Director Options

The Company's advisers have valued the Director Options to be issued to the Participating Directors using the Black & Scholes Option Valuation methodology. The value of an option calculated by the Black & Scholes Model is a function of a number of variables. The valuation of the Director Options has been prepared using the following assumptions:

Variable Input
Share price 37.5 cents
Exercise price 45 cents
Risk Free Interest Rate 4.89%
Volatility 78.27%
Expiry Date 30 November 2013

The Company’s advisers have calculated the value of each Director Option based on the following assumptions:

  1. The date of the issue of the Director Options will be the date that Shareholders approve the issues. For the purposes of the valuation, the Company's advisers have used the 22 October 2010 closing price of Shares. The Director Options will need to be formally valued following Shareholder approval.

  2. The closing price of Shares as at 22 October 2010 was 37.5 cents.

  3. The risk free interest rate for a Commonwealth Bond expiring in November 2013 is deemed to be approximately 4.89%.

  4. No dividends are payable before the expiry date of 30 November 2013.

  5. The exercise price of the Director Options is $0.45 per Option.

  6. The Director Options have no vesting conditions and will not be transferable.

  7. A volatility factor of 78.27%. Taking into account the Company's announcements during the last twelve months, the life of the Director Options (approximately 36 months), the general volatilities applying to the small cap mineral companies and the 22 October 2010 Share price, the Company advisers considered this volatility factor not to be unreasonable.

  8. A 20% discount is applied for the Director Options not being quoted on ASX and therefore not being freely tradeable.

Based on the assumptions and discount, it is considered that the estimated value of the Director Options to be issued to the Participating Directors is 14.8 cents per Director Option.

Any change in the variables applied in the Black & Scholes calculation between the date of the valuation and the date the Director Options are issued would have an impact on their value.

The following table gives details of the highest, lowest and latest closing prices of the Company’s Shares trading on ASX over the past 12 months ending on 22 October 2010:

Highest Price
(cents) / Date
Lowest Price (cents) /
Date
Latest Price / Date
44 cents
2 February 2010
20.5 cents
28 October 2009
37.5 cents
22 October 2010

Other Information

Under the Australian Equivalent of IFRS, the Company is required to expense the value of the Director Options in its statement of financial performance for the current financial year. Other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors do not consider that from an economic and commercial point of view, there are any costs or detriments including opportunity costs or taxation consequences for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options pursuant to Resolutions 8. 9 and 10.

Neither the Directors not the Company are aware of other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by the proposed Resolutions.

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval by ordinary resolution to any issue by a listed company of securities to a related party. Accordingly, Listing Rule 10.11 requires Shareholders to approve the issue of Director Options to the Participating Directors.

Additional Information

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

  • (a) the Director Options will be issued to the Participating Directors, or their nominees, as noted above;

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options to be issued is 4,250,000;

  • (e) the funds raised by the issue of the Director Options will be used for working capital purposes; and

  • (f) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum.

Notice of exercise

  • (g) Options may only be exercised by notice in writing to the Company which is signed by the Holder and delivered to the registered office of the Company.

Issue of certificates

  • (h) Subject to paragraphs (b) to (g) above, within 10 Business Days of the notice referred to in paragraph (g) above becoming effective, the Board must:

Allotment of Shares

  • (i) dividends declared by the Company after the date of allotment; and

  • (ii) all issues of securities offered to holders of Shares where entitlements to participate in those issues are determined by reference to a record date after the date of allotment of Shares allotted upon the exercise of Options.

Quotation on ASX

  • (k) The Company will not apply to have the Options granted under the Plan quoted on ASX or any other stock exchange.

New issues

  • (l) Holders will only be permitted to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares to the holders of Shares on the prior exercise of Options. The Company must notify the Holder of the proposed issue at least 7 Business Days before the record date to determine entitlements to the pro rata issue.

Bonus issues

  • (m) If from time to time prior to the expiry of any Options the Company makes an issue of any class of shares to the holders of Shares on a pro rata basis by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (other than an issue in lieu of dividends) (a Bonus Issue ) then upon exercise of a Option, each Holder is entitled to have issued (in addition to the Shares which would otherwise be issued upon such exercise) the number of shares of the class which would have been issued to the

7

Holder under the Bonus Issue ( Bonus Shares ) if on the date on which entitlements to participate in the Bonus Issue were calculated the Holder had been registered as the holder of the number of Shares of which the Holder would have been registered as holder if immediately prior to that date the Option had been exercised and the Shares the subject of such exercise had been duly allotted and issued. The Bonus Shares must be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in relation to the Bonus Issue and upon issue rank equally in all respects with the other shares of that class on issue at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.

Reorganisation of capital

  • (n) In the event of a reorganisation (including a consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, the number of Options to which each Holder is entitled or the Exercise Price (if any) or both will be changed in the manner required by the Listing Rules and, in any case, in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on holders of Options which are not conferred on Shareholders.

  • (o) The Company must give notice to each Holder of any adjustment to the number of Shares for which the Holder is entitled to subscribe for or to the Exercise Price (if any) pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (n).

Restrictions

  • (p) A Participant must not sell, transfer, mortgage, pledge, charge, grant security over or otherwise dispose of any Options, or agree to do any of those things, until they are exercised or expire.

  • (q) An Offer may specify a restriction period for Shares issued on the exercise of Options.

10. Conditions of exercise of Options

  • 10.1 Options may not be exercised during the period determined by the Board, if any, from, and including, the date of issue of an Option ( Restricted Period ).

  • 10.2 If a takeover bid is made to acquire the whole or any part of the issued Shares, or a scheme of arrangement, selective reduction or other transaction is initiated which has an effect similar to a full takeover bid of the issued Shares ( Bid ), and the Bid is accepted by the holder of at least 50% of the Shares on issue, then each Holder will be able to exercise all or any part of his or her Options, notwithstanding that the applicable Restricted Period has not expired.

11. Cessation of employment of Participant

  • 11.1 Subject to Rules 11.3 and 11.4, Options will automatically lapse and be forfeited if during the Restricted Period the Participant to whom the Options were first granted:

  • (a) voluntarily resigns from employment with a Group Company otherwise than to take up employment with another Group Company;

  - (iv) fraud or any other dishonesty in respect of the property or affairs of a Group Company; or

  - (v) any other reason, based on which the Board believe is fair and reasonable to warrant the lapsing and forfeiture of the Options.
  • 11.2 The Board may in its absolute discretion determine that the Options granted to a Participant (or a nominee thereof) who voluntarily resigns from employment with a Group Company (other than to take up employment with another Group Company) at any time after an Option has become exercisable, may be exercised by the Participant within:

  • (a) 1 month after such resignation; or

  • (b) such longer periods as the Board determines,

and any Options the subject of this clause not exercised within the 1 month or longer period determined by the Board, will automatically lapse and be forfeited.

  • 11.3 The Board may in its absolute discretion determine that the Options granted to a Participant who voluntarily resigns from employment with a Group Company (other than to take up employment with another Group Company) may be exercised by the Participant within 10 Business Days after such resignation.

  • 11.4 Options will not lapse and be forfeited if the Participant ceases employment or is removed from his or her position with a Group Company in the following circumstances:

  • (a) death of the Participant;

  • (b) total permanent disability of the Participant, such that the Participant is incapable of performing his or her duties due to a form of illness, injury or other disablement, as determined by the Board;
