2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 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 company or the directors of the company.

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

2.2 Voting consequences

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 consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report

8

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 vote. 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. If a Spill Resolution is put to shareholders, 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.

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000 or less.

As at the date of this Notice, 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 $3,275,255.88(based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 7 October 2019, being $0.005).

An equity security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

Any equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one (1) class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: MMR).

If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, 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.

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 shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

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

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

12

  • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of Shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;

  • (iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A is 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 Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

Resolution 5 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 5 for it to be passed.

5.2 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 this Resolution 5:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity 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 Annual General Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

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

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (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 ).

(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 5 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.

13

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 market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 7 October 2019.

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

*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 scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  • (i) There are currently 655,051,176 Shares on issue.

  • (ii) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 7 October 2019.

  • (iii) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  • (iv) 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 Listings Rule 7.1 or 7.4 and that Resolutions 3 and 4 of this Notice are approved by Shareholders.

  • (v) 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. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

14

  • (vi) 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.

  • (vii) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (viii) 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%.

  • (ix) 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 issued under the 10% Placement Capacity may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue or Equity Securities may be issued as part consideration for the acquisition of an asset, both of which may affect the amount of funds raised by the issue.

(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 continued evaluation of potential new opportunities within the Company Pooled Development Fund mandate, follow up capital for its existing investments and general working capital etc; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for the potential acquisition of new opportunity 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.

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) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients 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 recipients 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;

15

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

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

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 27 November 2018 ( Previous Approval ). The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6:

  • (i) the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval;

  • (ii) during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 27 November 2018, the Company issued a total of 313,183,130 Equity Securities (excluding issues of Shares on conversion or exercise of Performance Rights or Options) representing 91.6% of the Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period; and

  • (iii) the Equity Securities issued in the 12 month period (excluding issues of Shares on conversion or exercise of Performance Rights or Options) are set out in the following table:

5.3 Board recommendation

Related Party Outstanding Fees **Number of Shares1 **

Ms
Deborah
Ambrosini
(or

Note:

  1. The Company has determined the number of Shares to be issued to the Directors based on a deemed issue price of $0.005 per Share.

  2. The total outstanding amount to Mr Andrew Bald is $44,000 (including GST). Of this amount he has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to the payment of the total outstanding amount of Directors’ fees being settled by way of issue of Shares.

  3. The total outstanding amount to Mr Michael Sandy is $44,000 (including GST). Of this amount he has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to the payment of the total outstanding amount of Directors’ fees being settled by way of issue of Shares.

  4. The total outstanding amount to Mr Matthew Battrick is $44,000 (including GST). Of this amount he has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to the payment of the total outstanding amount of Directors’ fees being settled by way of issue of Shares.

  5. The total outstanding amount to Ms Deborah Ambrosini is $25,000 (including GST). Of this amount Ms Ambrosini has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to a payment of outstanding Directors’ fees of $15,000 being settled by way of issue of Shares. The balance of $10,000 will be paid in cash.

Resolutions 6 to 9 (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Securities to the Related Parties (or their respective nominees). To the extent Shareholders do not approve the issue of the Related Party Securities, the Related Parties will be entitled to be paid their respective outstanding amounts owing in cash.

Resolutions 6 to 9 (inclusive) are ordinary resolutions.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 6 to 9 (inclusive).

If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolutions 6 to 9 (inclusive), by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are giving your express authorisation to allow the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even

18

though the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

6.2 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

The Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 6 to 8 (inclusive) by virtue of the fact that Resolutions 6 to 8 (inclusive) is concerned with the issue of Shares to all of the Directors in lieu of fees. Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered. In the absence of Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Board meetings necessary to carry out the terms of Resolutions 6 to 8 (inclusive). The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to determine.

6.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions of the provision; or

  • (b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.

Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from giving a financial benefit (including an issue of securities) to a related party of the company without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the related party or by an associate of the related party.

The Directors and Ms Deborah Ambrosini are related parties for the purposes of section 228 of the Corporations Act and as a result, the issue of Shares constitutes the giving of a financial benefit. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

6.4 Information required for Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Section 219 of the Corporations Act requires the following information to be provided to Shareholders:

(a) Related Party

The following persons are Directors or in the case of Ms Deborah Ambrosini, a previous director of the Company and are therefore the related parties to whom a financial benefit will be given under Resolutions 6 to 9 (inclusive):

  • (i) Mr Andrew Bald (or nominee);

  • (ii) Mr Michael Sandy (or nominee);

  • (iii) Mr Matthew Battrick (or nominee); and

  • (iv) Ms Deborah Ambrosini (or nominee).

(b) Nature of Financial Benefit

19

The financial benefit to be given to the Related Parties pursuant to Resolutions 6 to 9 (inclusive) is as follows:

  • (i) 8,800,000 Shares to Mr Andrew Bald (or his nominee);

  • (ii) 8,800,000 Shares to Mr Michael Sandy (or his nominee);

  • (iii) 8,800,000 Shares to Mr Matthew Battrick (or his nominee); and

  • (iv) Up to 3,000,000 Shares to Ms Deborah Ambrosini (or her nominee).

The Shares will have the same terms as the Company’s existing fully paid ordinary shares and the deemed issue price per Share is $0.005.

The purpose of the issue is to remunerate the Related Parties for past services. The Directors consider that it 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.

(c) Directors’ Recommendation, Reasons for Recommendation and Directors Interests

The Directors of the Company are unable to make a recommendation as to whether Shareholders should approve Resolutions 6 to 8 as each Director of the Company has an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 6 to 8 (inclusive).

The Directors recommend that Shareholders approve Resolution 9 on the basis that the issue of Shares to Ms Deborah Ambrosini is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of the 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 Ms Deborah Ambrosini.

(d) Trading History

At the close of trading on the date preceding the printing of this Notice, the Share price of the Shares in the Company was 0.006. In the twelve months prior to the date of this Notice, the Shares in the Company traded at a high of 0.012 on 15 October 2019 and a low of 0.04 on 20 May 2019.

(e)

Dilution

If Resolutions 6 to 9 (inclusive) are passed, a total of 29,400,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the total number of Shares on issue in the Company from 655,051,176 to 684,451,176 (assuming that no 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 4.3%.

(f) Opportunity Cost

The Directors do not consider that there are any material opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Securities pursuant to Resolutions 6 to 9 (inclusive).

(g) Tax Consequences

The Directors are not aware of any taxation consequences that will arise from the issue of Related Party Securities pursuant to Resolutions 6 to 9 (inclusive).

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM

STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.

If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM

The form must be signed as follows:

Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.

Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

STEP 4 LODGEMENT

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by time 4:00pm (AEDT) on Saturday, 23 November 2019. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
