EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 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.mecresources.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted be put to shareholders at a listed company’s annual general meeting. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of 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 Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2016.

The Chair of the Meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if, at consecutive annual general meetings:

  • (a) at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report; and

  • (b) at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote,

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 required, the Spill Resolution must be put to 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 most recent 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.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s annual general meeting for the year ended 30 June 2015, 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.

6

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

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

  • (a) 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 your proxy how 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.

  • (b) If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where the Chair 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 mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his or her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

  • (c) 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 mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS – MR KO YAP AND MR GOH HOCK

Clause 11.3 of the Constitution requires that at the Company’s annual general meeting each year, 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 (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director except a Managing Director shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until 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 an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 11.3 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has 4 Directors and accordingly 2 must retire.

Mr KO Yap and Mr Goh Hock, the Director longest in office since their last election, retire by rotation and seek re-election.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY– SHARES

4.1. General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital (10% Placement Capacity). An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains valid until the earlier of:

  • (a) the date falling 12 months after the date on which the approval is granted; and

  • (b) the date shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (for a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (for a disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300 million.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $5,801,004.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 4.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing 7.1.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 for it to be passed.

7

4.2. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: MMR).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;

  • (iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

  • D is 10%.

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

4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

(a) Minimum price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded 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 ASX trading days of the date in Section 4.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (for a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (for the disposal of the Company’s main undertaking), after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid,

(10% Placement Capacity Period).

8

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula at section 4.2 above) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

----- End of picture text -----

*The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or Shares issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 5 September 2016.

  2. The issue price set out above $0.029 is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 2 September 2016.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  7. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  8. 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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

9

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for further investment in its investee companies and also toward general working capital of the Company; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for payment of consultancy services incurred by its investee company Advent Energy Limited (Advent) associated with continued exploration expenditure on Advent’s current assets, in which case the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

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

  • (iv) the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2015 annual general meeting held on 26 November 2015. In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has issued a total of 17,202,584 Equity Securities (representing 9.41% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue as at 24 November 2015), details of which are set out below:

  • Approximately $10,000 of which has been spent as at the date of this Notice of Meeting. The remainder, when required, will be applied towards the continued development of investee company, Advent Energy Ltd and the identification of new investment opportunities.

(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:

  • (i) a list of the allottees of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

4.4. Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 4..

10

  1. RESOLUTION 5 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

On 23 May 2016, the Company’s auditors, Nexia Perth Audit Services (Nexia) resigned as auditor of the Company with ASIC’s consent in accordance with section 329(5) of the Corporations Act.

Section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act provides that if:

  • (a) a vacancy occurs in the office of auditor of a public company; and

  • (b) the vacancy is not caused by the removal of an auditor from office; and

  • (c) there is no surviving or continuing auditor of the company,

the directors of the company must, within 1 month after the vacancy occurs, appoint an auditor to fill the vacancy unless the company at a general meeting has appointed an auditor to fill the vacancy.

Section 327C(2) of the Corporations Act further provides that any such auditor appointed to fill the vacancy holds office until the company’s next annual general meeting. This is consistent with section 327B(1) of the Corporations Act, which provides that a public company must appoint an auditor of the company at its first annual general meeting and thereafter at each subsequent annual general meeting where an auditor is appointed by the company to fill any vacancy in the office of auditor.

Pursuant to section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act, the Directors appointed HLB Mann Judd to fill the vacancy in the office of auditor.

The Company has received:

  • (a) a nomination under section 328B of the Corporations Act from a Shareholder for HLB Mann Judd to be re-appointed as the Company’s auditor, a copy of which is annexed as Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement; and

  • (b) a consent to act as auditor of the Company under section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act, duly executed by HLB Mann Judd and Mr Brad McVeigh, a registered company auditor.

The Company, pursuant to this Resolution 5, requests Shareholder approval pursuant to section 327B(1) of the Corporations Act to re-appoint HLB Mann Judd as the Company’s auditor.

11

  1. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF SHARE ISSUE

6.1. General

On 23 June 2016, the Company issued 810,811 Shares in consideration for consultancy services provided by Stocks Digital.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares (Ratification).

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.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

6.1. Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

  • Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) 810,811 Shares were allotted;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.037 per Share in satisfaction of consultancy services provided to the Company by Stocks Digital;

  • (c) the 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;

  • (d) the Shares were allotted and issued to Stocks Digital, who is not a related party of the Company; and

  • (e) no funds were raised from this issue as the Shares were issued in consideration for consultancy services provided to the Company.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

1

(Appointing a proxy): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

2 (Direction to vote): AA Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item

  • 3 (Signing instructions):

  • (Individual): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • (Joint holding): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • (Power of attorney): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • (Companies): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

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

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

  • post to MEC Resources Ltd, 14 View Street, North Perth, Western Australia, 6006; or

  • facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9328 8733; or

  • email to the Company at [email protected],

  • so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.

Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.
