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 2019 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

Section 250R(2) of 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 Part 2G.2 Division 9 of the Corporations Act, 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 Resolution ") if, at two 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 not put to a vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to a vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

11

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 are taken 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 . The Chair intends to exercise such proxies in favour of this Resolution.

  • If you appoint any other person as your proxy:

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – Re-Election of Mr Paul Poli as a Director

Clause 11.3 of the Company's Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting, onethird 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 (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.

12

A retiring director under clause 11.4 of the Company’s Constitution is eligible for re-election.

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

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

Mr Poli is a fellow of the Australian Society of Certified Practicing Accountants and was the founder and managing partner of an accounting firm for 19 years from 1989 to 2008. He is well versed in all aspects of accounting and taxation and has considerable experience in business through his role as a consultant to many varied clients and through his own involvement in ownership of businesses in Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South East Asia.

He has been chairman of Matsa Resources Limited for 10 years and as a former registered Securities Trader and a significant investor in the mining industry, Mr Poli is particularly well qualified to drive the creation of a significant new mining and exploration company.

Mr Poli is also a director of Bulletin Resources Limited.

The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Poli.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares

On 23 September 2019 the Company announced it was undertaking a capital raising via way of a placement to new institutional and sophisticated investors issuing 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.15 each with one free unlisted option for every four shares subscribed for with an exercise price of $0.25 each and expiring 18 months after the date of issue. The total consideration received from the placement was $6 million before costs.

The Company issued 26,537,605 of the Shares the subject of the Capital Raising without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company also issued 13,462,395 Shares the subject of the Capital Raising without prior Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2018. The Company also seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares (and that ratification is the subject of Resolution 4).

The issue of 10,000,000 Options remains subject to Shareholder approval (and is the subject of Resolution 5).

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 26,537,605 Shares referred to above (First Ratification).

Listing Rule requirements

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, without Shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that then previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1. By ratifying the issue, the subject of Resolution 3, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

13

  • (i) Exploration programmes at the Red October gold project;

  • (ii) Exploration programmes at the Lake Carey gold project; and

  • (iii) Commencement of work on Stage 2 of the Fortitude gold project.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares

On 23 September 2019 the Company announced the completion of the capital raising.

The Company issued 13,462,395 Shares the subject of the Capital Raising without prior Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2018.

The Company also issued 26,537,605 Shares the subject of the Capital Raising without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity. The Company also seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares and Options (and that ratification is the subject of Resolution 3).

The issue of 10,000,000 Options remains subject to Shareholder approval (and is the subject of Resolution 5).

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 26,537,605 Shares as referred to above (Second Ratification).

Listing Rule requirements

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

( a) not be counted in variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) are counted in variable “E”

until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue.

14

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 4, the base figure (ie variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

Information required under Listing Rule 7.4

  • (d) the Consideration Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) The funds raised from the placement were used as follows:

  • (i) Exploration programmes at the Red October gold project;

  • (ii) Exploration programmes at the Lake Carey gold project; and

  • (iii) Commencement of work on Stage 2 of the Fortitude gold project.

7. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 9: APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF OPTIONS

7.1. General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 5,750,000 Options in aggregate ( Director Options) with :

  • (a) an expiry date of 5.00pm WST on the date that is three (3) years from the date of issue; and

  • (b) an exercise price equal to 130% (rounded up to the nearest one half of a cent) of VWAP of the Shares over a period of 10 trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the date of this Annual General Meeting,

to Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman who are Directors of the Company (or their respective Related Party Nominee/s) on the terms and conditions set out below.

7.2. 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. Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Related Party Nominees of each Director are also Related Parties of the Company by virtue of their relationship with the respective Director (see definition of Related Party Nominee in the Glossary).

In addition, Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a Related Party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a Related Party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in 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 Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options.

7.3. 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 Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of the Director Options:

  • (a) Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Related Party Nominees of each Director are also Related Parties of the Company by virtue of their relationship with the respective director (see definition of Related Party Nominee in the Glossary);

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

17

  • (i) 2,750,000 Options to Mr Paul Poli (or his Related Party Nominee/s);

  • (ii) 1,500,000 Options to Mr Frank Sibbel (or his Related Party Nominee/s); and

  • (iii) 1,500,000 Options to Mr Andrew Chapman (or his Related Party Nominee/s);

  • (c) the Director Options will be granted no later than 1 month after the date of the Annual General Meeting and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date as soon as practicable after the Annual General Meeting;

  • (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 Schedule 4;

  • (f) the value of the Director Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Annexure B. The Company considers that together with the other directors’ fees proposed to paid to Directors this financial year (see below), the value of the Director Options represents appropriate remuneration to retain the Directors which is comparable to director remuneration at similar ASX listed companies;

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

Related Party Shares Options1 Options2
Mr Paul Poli 11,855,000 2,750,000 2,500,000
Mr Frank Sibbel 494,852 1,500,000 1,250,000
Mr Andrew Chapman 69,000 1,500,000 1,250,000
  • 1 The options have an exercise price of $0.25 each expiring 30 November 2019.

  • 2 The options have an exercise price of $0.17 each expiring 30 November 2021.

  • (h) the remuneration and emoluments (excluding share based payments but inclusive of superannuation) from the Company to the Directors 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
Previous
Financial Year
Mr Paul Poli $360,000 $363,367
Mr Frank Sibbel $70,000 $64,990
Mr Andrew Chapman $219,000 $257,388
  • (i) if the Director Options granted are exercised, a total of 5,750,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 216,917,368 to 222,667,368 (assuming that no other Options are granted or exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 2.65%, or 2.41% on a fully diluted basis.

  • (j) 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;

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

18

Price Date
Highest 20 cents 3 September 2019
Lowest 10.5 cents 23 November 2018
Last 16 cents 7 October 2019
  • (l) the Board believes the grant of Director Options to each of the Directors is in accordance with the guidelines for non-executive director remuneration set out in Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council as they do not have performance hurdles attached to them. The Board considers the grant of Options to Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out below:

  • (i) the grant of Director Options to the Directors will align the interests of the Directors 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 Directors; 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 Director Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (m) the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options to the Directors is to provide an overall Company performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Directors to motivate and reward the performance of the Directors;

  • (n) each of the Directors declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 due to either their material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution (to the extent they or their Related Party Nominee(s) are to be granted Options in the Company) or the potential for a conflict of interest in making a recommendation about the remuneration of other Directors; and

  • (o) 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 7 to 9.

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

Voting exclusion statements in relation to Resolution 7, 8 and 9 are included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 7, 8 and 9. If the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolutions 7, 8 and 9, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.

8. RESOLUTION 10 - Employee Share Option Plan

Resolution 10 seeks shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 and for all other purposes, for the approval of the grant of options and issue of shares under Matsa

19

Resources Limited Employee Share Option Plan ( Plan ). If shareholder approval for Resolution 6 is obtained, all Options and Shares issued by the Company in accordance with the Plan will be excluded from the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 3 years from the date of the approval.

The purpose of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees of the Company. The Company previously approved the Plan on 18 November 2016. To obtain the benefit of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) (which is explained in detail below), Resolution 10 seeks the renewed approval of the Plan by the Shareholders of the Company in order to have an active plan as it is an important component of remuneration of employees, particularly in light of current market conditions.

Notwithstanding the approval of the Plan, this does not increase the capacity of the Company to issue options beyond the thresholds specified in the Corporations Act. 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.

Listing Rule requirements

Subject to the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2, Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities (which includes Options) equal to an amount of more than 15% of a company's ordinary capital in any 12 month period without Shareholder approval ( 15% Limit ).

Exception 9(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 permits securities issued under an employee incentive scheme (such as the Plan) to be excluded from the 15% Limit where Shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme within 3 years before the date they are issued.

Resolution 6, if passed, will allow Options to be granted under the Plan during the 3 years after the date of this AGM without the need for further Shareholder approval and without diminishing the Company's capacity to issue Shares up to the 15% Limit under Listing Rule 7.1.

A summary of the terms of the Plan is attached as Schedule 5to this Explanatory Memorandum and a copy of the Plan is available on the Company’s website at www.matsa.com.au.

A total of 8,075,000 Options have been issued under the Plan since it was last approved on 18 November 2016, comprising:

  • (a) 4,375,000 unlisted Options (exercisable at 25 cents on or before 30 November 2019) on 24 November 2016;

  • (b) 3,700,000 unlisted Options (exercisable at 17 cents on or before 30 November 2021) on 12 December 2018.

9. RESOLUTION 11 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

9.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to seek Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity with a market capitalisation of $31.54M as at 4 October 2019.

20

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 8.2(c) below).

The Company intends to use any funds raised under the 10% Placement Facility towards further exploration on the Lake Carey project, development of the Fortitude Stage 2 gold production exploration at the Red October gold project, and/or for general working capital. In addition, the Company may, in future, choose to evaluate new investments and may use the funds raised for acquisitions (including expenses associated with such acquisitions).

The Directors recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 11 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

9.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

  • (b) Equity Security

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has on issue:

(i) 216,917,368 Shares; and

(ii) 22,025,025 unlisted options.

The Company has only one class of quoted Equity Security, being Shares.

  • (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

  • Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (a) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (b) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (d) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.

21

Note that “A” has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 8.2(c) above).

(e) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking). The approval will cease to be valid in the event that holders of the eligible entity’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under rule 11.1.2 or rule 11.2,

or such longer period if allowed by ASX (" 10% Placement Period ").

9.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 7 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

9.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP of the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades were recorded in that class immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 11 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, there is a risk that the economic value and voting power of each Share in the Company may be diluted, including a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of approval of this Resolution at the Annual General Meeting; and

22

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset.

The below table shows the possible dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice (with numbers rounded to the nearest whole number). This assumes the Company has its full capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1A and Resolution 11 is passed at the Annual General Meeting. The formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 is outlined in Section 7.2(c) above.

The table also shows:

  • (a) two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (b) two examples of where the issue price of Equity Securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

Note: The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  2. No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of Equity Securities.

  3. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.

  4. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

  5. The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  6. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. 7. The issue price is $0.16, being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 7 October 2019.

23

  • (c) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) Non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) Cash consideration towards further exploration on the Lake Carey project, development of the Fortitude Stage 2 gold production exploration at the Red October gold project, and/or for general working capital. In addition, the Company may, in future, choose to evaluate new investments and may use the funds raised for acquisitions (including expenses associated with such acquisitions).

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (e) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the subscribers of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).

10. RESOLUTION 12: Approval to Amend Option Terms for Previously Issued Options

On 23 November 2018, Shareholders approved the allotment and issue of a total of 5,000,000 Options to Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman (or their respective nominees) (2018 Options). The terms and conditions of the 2018 Options (2018 Option Terms) were set out in Annexure A to the Explanatory Statement that accompanied the notice of AGM held on 23 November 2018 (2018 NoM).

24

The Company seeks Shareholder approval to amend the 2018 Option Terms to allow the entitlement of the holders of those Options to be preserved if the Company undertakes any bonus issue to holders of Shares, which is consistent with Listing Rule 6.22.3.

The proposed term for inclusion is as follows:

If, prior to the expiry of an Option, there is a bonus issue to the holders of shares in the Company, the number of shares over which the Option is exercisable may be increased by the number of shares which the Option holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

The terms of the 2018 Options are otherwise unchanged and are set out more fully in the 2018 NoM.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 12. If the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 12, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

  • (a) A Shareholder entitled to attend and to cast two or more votes is entitled to appoint no more than two proxies to attend and vote at this Annual General Meeting as the Shareholder’s proxy. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

  • (b) Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specific 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. Fractions shall be disregarded. Where more than one proxy is to be appointed or where voting intentions cannot be adequately expressed using this form an additional form of proxy is available from the Company, or alternatively you may copy this form.

  • (c) The proxy form must be signed personally by the Shareholder or his attorney, duly authorised in writing. If a proxy is given by a corporation, the proxy must be executed in accordance with its constitution or its duly authorised attorney. In the case of joint Shareholders, this proxy must be signed by each of the joint Shareholders, personally or by a duly authorised attorney.

  • (d) If a proxy is executed by an attorney of a Shareholder, then the original of the relevant power of attorney or a certified copy of the relevant power of attorney, if it has not already been noted by the Company, must accompany the proxy form.

  • (e) Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.

  • (f) To be effective, forms to appoint proxies must be received by the Company no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of this Annual General Meeting by post, facsimile or email to the address stipulated in this proxy form. If the proxy form specifies a way in which the proxy is to vote on any of the Resolutions stated above, then the following applies:

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way; and

  • if the proxy has two 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 Chairman, the proxy must vote on a poll and must vote that way; and

  • if the proxy is not the Chairman, the proxy need not vote on a poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way.

  • (g) If a proxy is also a Shareholder, the proxy can cast any votes the proxy holds as a Shareholder in any way that the proxy sees fit.

  • (h) To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  • delivering it to Matsa Resources Limited in person at Suite 11, 139 Newcastle Street, Perth WA;

  • post to Matsa Resources Limited, PO Box 376, Northbridge, WA 6865;
