PROXIES

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the above annual general meeting of Shareholders may appoint not more than two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights. If such appointment is not made then each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder’s voting rights.

A proxy may, but need not be, a Shareholder of the Company.

The instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing, executed by the appointor or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if such appointor is a corporation, either under seal or under hand of an officer, or officers, or his/her attorney(s) duly authorised.

The instrument or proxy (and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed, or a certified copy of the same) must be lodged by person, post, courier or facsimile and reach the registered office of the Company at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. For the convenience of Shareholders a Proxy Form is enclosed.

New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Annual General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes is set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

7

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting (" Notice of Meeting ") of Matsa Resources Limited (" Company ").

The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum (which forms part of the Notice of Meeting) in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Memorandum or the Notice of Meeting, please contact your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

Terms used in this Notice of Meeting have defined meanings which are explained in the Glossary appearing at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Financial Reports

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.matsa.com.au.

Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions of the Directors and the Company's Auditors in relation to the accounts of the Company at the Annual General Meeting.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

1.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for the financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

1.2 Voting Consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill

9

Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was note put to a vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to a vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the previous financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

1.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%.

Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

1.4 Proxy Restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member) as your proxy

You must direct the proxy how they are to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member)

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must tick the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel .

If you appoint any other person as your proxy

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to tick any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – Re-Election of Mr Frank Sibbel as a Director

Clause 11.3 of the Company's Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, must retire from office, provided always that no Director

10

(except the Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at any annual general meeting are those who have been in office longest since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire must (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A retiring director under clause 11.3 of the Company’s constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has three directors and accordingly one must retire.

Mr Sibbel, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation at this Meeting. Mr Sibbel, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

The Board appointed Mr Frank Sibbel as a Director on 25 October 2010.

Mr Sibbel is a Mining Engineer who has over 40 years of extensive operational and management experience in overseeing large and small scale mining projects from development through to successful production. He was formerly the Operations Director of Tanami Gold NL until his resignation on 30 June 2008, and has worked as the Principal in his own established mining consultancy firm where he has undertaken numerous projects for both large and small mining companies.

3. RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 5 – Issue of Director Options to Related Parties

3.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 5,500,000 Options ( Director Options ) to Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman (or their respective nominee/s) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

The issue of Director Options to Mr Frank Sibbel is subject to his re-election as director pursuant to Resolution 2.

3.2 Related Party Transaction

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (i) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (ii) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The grant of the Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose

11

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.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options to the Related Parties.

3.3 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Options:

  • (a) the related parties are Messrs Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:

  • (i) 2,750,000 Director Options to Mr Paul Poli;

  • (ii) 1,500,000 Director Options to Mr Frank Sibbel; and

  • (iii) 1,250,000 Director Options to Mr Andrew Chapman;

  • (c) the Director Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the Director Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Annexure A;

  • (f) the value of the Director Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Annexure B;

  • (g) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are set out below:


out below:
Related Party Shares Options
Mr Paul Poli 10,550,000 3,750,0001
Mr Frank Sibbel 268,048 1,000,0002
Mr Andrew Chapman Nil 750,0003
  1. 1,000,000 unlisted Options exercisable at $0.273 on or before 26 November 2012. 2,750,000 unlisted Options exercisable at $0.45 each on or before 30 November 2013.

  2. 250,000 Options exercisable at $0.40 each on or before 31 August 2013 and 750,000 Options exercisable at $0.45 each on or before 30 November 2013.

  3. 750,000 Options exercisable at $0.45 each on or before 30 November 2013.

  4. (h) the remuneration and emoluments (excluding share based payments) from the Company to the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year are set out below:

Related Party Current
Financial Year

Financial Year
Mr Paul Poli $658,750 $417,042
Mr Frank Sibbel $200,000 $88,770
Mr Andrew Chapman $100,000 $78,952
  • (i) if the Director Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 5,500,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 132,421,781 to 137,921,781 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 3.99%, comprising 1.99% by Mr Paul Poli, 1.09% by Mr Frank Sibbel and 0.91% by Mr Andrew Chapman.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:

Price Date
Highest $0.53 2 October 2012
Lowest $0.10 5 July 2012
Last $0.355 18 October 2012

(k) the Board acknowledges the grant of Director Options to Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman is contrary to Recommendation 8.3 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments (2[nd] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of Director Options to Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph (m) below;

(l) the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options to the Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as Directors;

  • (m) Mr Paul Poli declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 3 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 4 and 5, Mr Poli recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of Director Options to the Related Parties will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Director Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit 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 the Related Parties; and

13

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (n) Mr Frank Sibbel declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 4 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 3 and 5, Mr Sibbel recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m) above;

  • (o) Mr Andrew Chapman declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 5 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 3 and 4, Mr Chapman recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m) above;

  • (p) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Related Party, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Director Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Director Options; and

  • (q) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 3 to 5.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

4. RESOLUTION 6 – Adoption of Performance Rights Plan

4.1 General

On 18 October 2012, the Board adopted a performance rights plan ( PRP ) under which eligible participants may be granted Performance Rights to acquire Shares in the Company.

The intention of the PRP is to reward current Directors, executives and employees of the Company and to provide ongoing incentives as the Company progresses into production.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the PRP.

A Performance Right typically does not have an exercise price and therefore allows a recipient, subject to satisfaction of the relevant vesting conditions and performance hurdles (as applicable), to benefit by their Performance Rights vesting into ordinary shares in the Company.

The objective of the PRP is to provide the Company with a remuneration mechanism, through the issue of securities in the capital of the Company, to motivate and reward the performance of Directors, executives and employees in achieving specified performance milestones within a specified performance period.

14

The Board will ensure that the performance milestones attached to the securities issued pursuant to the PRP are aligned with the successful growth of the Company’s business activities.

The Directors, executives and employees of the Company have been, and will continue to be, instrumental in the growth of the Company. The Directors consider that the PRP is an appropriate method to:

  • (a) reward Directors, executives and employees for their past performance;

  • (b) provide long term incentives for participation in the Company’s future growth;

  • (c) motivate Directors, executives and employees and generate loyalty; and

  • (d) assist to retain the services of valuable Directors, executives and employees.

The PRP will be used as part of the remuneration planning for Directors, executives and employees.

The Corporate Governance Council Guidelines recommend that executive remuneration packages involve a balance between fixed and incentive pay reflecting short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the company’ circumstances and goals.

4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

One of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is Listing Rule 7.2 – Exception 9, which provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within the 3 years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Directors to grant Performance Rights pursuant to the PRP during the period of 3 years after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), and to issue Shares to those Directors, executives and employees if they achieve the performance and vesting conditions of the Performance Rights, without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

In the case of a Director, no Performance Rights may be issued to the Director without separate Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

4.3 Information required by the ASX Listing Rules – Terms of the PRP

A summary of the terms of the PRP is provided in Annexure C to this Explanatory Memorandum. A copy of the PRP will be made available to any Shareholder on request.

No Performance Rights have been issued under the PRP as at the date of the Notice of Meeting.

5. RESOLUTION 7 – Issue of Performance Rights under PRP to Mr Paul Poli

5.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 1,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Paul Poli (or his nominee/s) ( Related Party ) under the Matsa Resources Limited Performance Rights Plan ( PRP ) ( Related Party Performance Rights ).

A summary of the principal terms of the PRP is set out in Annexure C.

The purpose of the grant of Related Party Performance Rights to the Related Party is to provide retention incentive and to further motivate and reward the performance of the Related Party for performance in successfully executing the Company’s business plan and maximising value from the Company’s assets for the benefit of all Shareholders.

Resolution 7 is conditional on the approval of the PRP pursuant to Resolution 6.

5.2 Related Party Transaction

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (i) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (ii) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

The issue of Related Party Performance Rights to the Related Party requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because this issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and as a Director, Mr Paul Poli is a related party of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Related Party Performance Rights to the Related Party.

5.3 Summary of the material terms of the Performance Rights

It is proposed that the Related Party be granted one class of Performance Rights, as set out below, for nil consideration.

Each Related Party Performance Right will vest as one Share subject to the satisfaction of certain performance criteria ( Vesting Conditions ). In the event that the Vesting Conditions are not met, the Related Party Performance Rights will not vest and as a result, no new Shares will be issued. There is nil consideration payable upon the vesting of a Related Party Performance Right.

16

The Board proposes that the Vesting Conditions set out below apply to this grant of Related Party Performance Rights.

Vesting Conditions

The Related Party Performance Rights will vest subject to the Company achieving the following share pricing targets:

  • (a) Share Pricing Target 1: 50% (or 500,000) of the Related Party Performance Rights will vest when Volume Weighted Average Price ( VWAP ) of the Company’s Shares as traded on ASX over 5 consecutive days is equal to or exceeds $0.60; and

  • (b) Share Pricing Target 2: The remaining 50% (or 500,000) of the Related Party Performance Rights will vest when VWAP of the Company’s Shares as traded on ASX over 5 consecutive days is equal to or exceeds $0.75,

( Vesting Conditions ).

The Related Party Performance Rights shall expire at 5.00 pm (WST) on 30 November 2015 ( Expiry Date ). Any Related Party Performance Right not vested before the Expiry Date shall automatically lapse on the Expiry Date and the holder shall have no entitlement to Shares pursuant to those Related Party Performance Rights.

Subject to the good leaver provisions as set out in the PRP, the Related Party must remain a full time or part time employee or Director of the Company throughout the vesting period for the Related Party Performance Rights to vest, although Related Party Performance Rights will also vest upon the happening of any of the following events, subject to the more detailed conditions specified in Annexure C:

  • (a) a bona fide takeover bid for the Company’s issued Shares is declared unconditional and the bidder has acquired a relevant interest in at least 50.1% of the Company’s issued Shares;

  • (b) a court approves under Section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act a proposed compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies;

  • (c) in any other case, a person obtains voting power in the Company which the Board (which for the avoidance of doubt will comprise those directors immediately prior to the person acquiring that voting power) determines, acting in good faith and in accordance with their fiduciary duties, is sufficient to control the composition of the Board; or

  • (d) the Company passes a resolution for voluntary winding up or an order is made for the compulsory winding up of the Company.

In the event that the Board, in its absolute discretion, determines that any Related Party Performance Right does not vest, or no determination is made, the Related Party Performance Right will lapse.

A full summary of the terms and conditions attaching to the Related Party Performance Rights is set out in Annexure C.

17

5.4 Technical information required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.14

Mr Paul Poli $91,2501

The Directors (other than Mr Paul Poli) have determined that the fair value of the Related Party Performance Rights will be at a 75% discount to the Share price, taking into consideration the Company's trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice, the current Share price, equity markets in general and that historically the Company has not previously achieved the Share prices set as the Vesting Conditions.

  2. (d) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out in Section 3.3(j) of this Notice of Meeting;

  3. (e) the Related Party Performance Rights will be granted for nil cash consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the vesting of the Related Party Performance Rights on the achievement of the Vesting Conditions. Accordingly, no loans will be made in relation to, and no funds will be raised from the issue or vesting of the Related Party Performance Rights;

  4. (f) as the PRP is a new plan being approved under Resolution 6, no Performance Rights have previously been issued under the PRP;

  5. (g) as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Mr Paul Poli is the only related party of the Company who is entitled to participate in the PRP;

  8. (j) the remuneration and emoluments (excluding share based payments) from the Company to the Related Party for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year are set out in Section 3.3(h) of this Notice of Meeting;

  9. (k) if the Related Party Performance Rights granted to the Related Party vest, a total of 1,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 132,421,781 to 133,421,781 (assuming that no other

  • (l) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Performance Rights are summarised above at Section 5.3.

  • (i) the grant of Related Party Performance Rights to the Related Party, in particular, the Vesting Conditions of the Related Party Performance Rights, will align the interests of the Related Party with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Related Party Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the noncash form of this benefit 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 the Related Party; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Performance Rights upon the terms proposed;

  • (r) Mr Paul Poli declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution;
