EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM METALS X LIMITED ABN 25 110 150 055
ORDINARY BUSINESS
1. Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act requires the Financial Statements, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2013 to be tabled at the Annual General Meeting ( AGM ).
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.
2. Approval of the Remuneration Report (Resolution 1)
The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2013 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors and Executives during the financial year. A copy of the report is set out in the Directors’ Report within the Annual Report and can be found on the Company’s website at www.metalsx.com.au.
The Chairman of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the meeting. In addition, shareholders will be asked to vote on the Remuneration Report.
The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its Directors. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies. Under the Corporations Act 2001, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election. Metals X encourages all shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1.
Any undirected proxies held by the Chairman of the meeting, other Directors or other key management personnel or any of their closely related parties will not be voted on Resolution 1. Key management personnel of Metals X are the Directors of Metals X and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Metals X, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies Metals X’s key management personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2013. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act 2001, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.
If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the Proxy Form for that item of business. You should specifically note that if you indicate on the Proxy Form that you do not wish to specify how your proxy should vote on Resolution 1, you will be deemed to have expressly directed the Chairman to cast your votes in favour of Resolution 1. If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy but do not want your votes to be cast in favour of Resolution 1, you must indicate your voting intention by marking either “against” or “abstain” against Resolution 1 in the Proxy Form.
3. Election of Director – Warren Shaye Hallam (Resolution 2)
Resolution 2 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Warren Hallam as a Director with effect from the end of the Meeting.
Clause 3.6 of the Constitution provides that at each Annual General Meeting one-third of the Directors (other than the Managing Director or any alternate Director) for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then such number as is appropriate to ensure that no Director holds office for more than three years, must retire. Directors who retire by reason of clause 3.6 of the Constitution are those Directors who have been in office the longest since their last election. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election.
Mr Hallam retires from office in accordance with this requirement and submits himself for re-election.
Mr Hallam is a Metallurgist (B. App Sci (Metallurgy)) and a Mineral Economist (MSc (Min. Econ)) and holds a Graduate Diploma in finance. He has considerable technical and commercial experience within the resources industry. He is also a director of Aziana Limited. In recent times he was the Managing Director of Metals Exploration.
Mr Hallam has been a director of the Company since 1 March 2005.
Directors’ recommendation
The non-candidate Directors unanimously support the re-election of Mr Hallam.
