MOUNT GIBSON IRON LIMITED

ACN 008 670 817

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders to understand the business to be put to Shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ORDINARY BUSINESS

FINANCIAL REPORTS

The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“ Corporations Act ”) requires:

  • the reports of the Directors and Auditor; and

  • the annual financial report, including the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2019,

to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. Neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders on the reports or statements. However, Shareholders will be given an opportunity to raise questions or comments on the management of the Company.

A reasonable opportunity will be given to Shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting to ask the Company’s external auditor (Ernst & Young) questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting may also submit a written question to Ernst & Young (via the Company) if the question is relevant to:

  • the content of Ernst & Young’s audit report; or

  • the conduct of its audit of the Company’s annual financial reports for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Relevant questions for Ernst & Young must be received no later than 5.00pm (AWST), Wednesday 6 November 2019. A list of those relevant written questions will be made available to Shareholders attending the meeting. Ernst & Young will either answer the relevant questions at the meeting or table written answers at the meeting. If written answers are tabled at the meeting, they will be made available to Shareholders as soon as practicable after the meeting, on the Company’s website, www.mtgibsoniron.com.au

Please send any relevant questions for Ernst & Young by 5.00pm (AWST), Wednesday 6 November 2019 to:

The following details should be included with written questions:

– the Shareholder’s name; and

– either the Shareholder’s Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN).

RESOLUTION 1 ‐ Re‐election of Mr Lee Seng Hui

Mr Lee retires by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re‐election.

Mr Lee was appointed as a Non‐Executive Director by the Board on 29 January 2010, Non‐Executive Deputy Chairman on 14 December 2012, and then as Chairman on 18 February 2014.

Mr Lee graduated with Honours from the University of Sydney Law School. Mr Lee is the Chief Executive and an Executive Director of Allied Group Limited, which is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and its subsidiary Allied Properties (H.K) Limited, both being substantial shareholders of Mount Gibson. He is also the Chairman and a Non‐Executive Director of Tian An China Investments Company Limited and a Non‐Executive Director of APAC Resources Limited, the latter also being one of Mount Gibson’s substantial shareholders. Mr Lee was previously the Chairman and an Executive Director of Yu Ming Investments Limited (now known as SHK Hong Kong Industries Limited). During the past 3 years Mr Lee has not served as a director of any other listed companies.

Because of Mr Lee’s relationship with substantial shareholders Allied Group Limited, Allied Properties (H.K) Limited and APAC Resources Limited, Mr Lee is not classified as an independent director.

The Board (excluding Mr Lee) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the re‐election of Mr Lee.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the re‐election of Mr Lee.

RESOLUTION 2‐ Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for Directors and senior management and is set out in the Report of the Directors in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report.

The Corporations Act requires companies to put a resolution to their Shareholders that the Remuneration Report be adopted. Under section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

The Board will consider the outcome of the vote on Resolution 2 and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policy.

The Company encourages all shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 2.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes cast on Resolution 2 at the Annual General Meeting were against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, and this occurred again at the

5

MOUNT GIBSON IRON LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2019

Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting in relation to the remuneration report considered at that meeting, the following sequence of events would occur:

  • The Company would be required to put to Shareholders at the 2020 Annual General Meeting a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company.

  • If more than 50% of Shareholders voted in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company would be required to convene the general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days after the 2020 Annual General Meeting.

  • All of the Directors who were in office when the 2020 Directors’ Report was approved by the Board, other than the Managing Director of the Company (if any), would cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but could stand for re‐election at the Spill Meeting.

  • Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re‐election as Directors was approved at the Spill Meeting would be the Directors of the Company.

RESOLUTION 3 ‐ Adoption of Potential Termination Benefits under the Company’s Loan Share Plan

Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act restricts the benefits that can be given to persons who hold a “managerial or executive office” (as defined in the Corporations Act) on leaving their employment with the Company or any of its related bodies corporate, unless an exception applies.

Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office if the benefit is approved by shareholders or an exemption applies.

Provided shareholder approval is given, the value of the termination benefits may be disregarded when applying section 200F(2)(b) or section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (i.e. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.19 provides that, without the approval of ordinary shareholders, an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its child entities will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that are or may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.

Depending upon the value of the termination benefits, and the equity interests of the Company at the time such benefits may crystallise, it is uncertain if such payment would exceed this 5% threshold. Accordingly, shareholder approval is being sought in case the value of the termination benefits exceeds this 5% threshold.

Why is the Company seeking approval?

During August 2016 the Board approved a loan funded share scheme (“ Loan Share Plan ”) to replace the existing long term incentive scheme for certain executives, employees and contractors of the Mount Gibson Iron Limited corporate group (“ Group ”) to incentivise them to meet the Company’s objectives and drive shareholder value. Shareholder approval was not required for the implementation of the Loan Share Plan under the ASX Listing Rules or Corporations Act given (amongst other reasons) that no directors of the Group, their spouses, or any parents or children of those persons, were participating in the Loan Share Plan. The Loan Share Plan is structured to better align participants with real returns of the Company’s shareholders.

6

MOUNT GIBSON IRON LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2019

The Loan Share Plan essentially provides for the grant of shares to certain executives, employees and contractors subject to agreed market pricing and vesting conditions, with the grant of shares being funded by way of a non‐recourse loan arrangement between the Company, or a subsidiary of the Company, and the relevant participant. By way of background a summary of the Loan Share Plan is provided in Annexure A.

At the 2016 Annual General Meeting (held on 9 November 2016), the Company first sought and obtained shareholder approval for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.19 to enable the Board to exercise a discretion under the Loan Share Plan (discussed below), in the event that the employment of a participant under the Loan Share Plan is terminated. That approval was effective:

  • (a) if the Board (or its delegates) exercised certain discretions under the Loan Share Plan upon cessation of employment; and/or

  • (b) if the particular participant ceased employment with the Group,

during the period beginning at the conclusion of the 2016 Annual General Meeting and expiring at the conclusion of this Meeting.

Resolution 3 proposes that Shareholders consider and renew that approval, for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.19, for a further period of 3 years.

Under the terms of the Loan Share Plan, the Board possesses the discretion to determine, where a participant ceases employment, through termination or otherwise, that some or all of the vesting conditions of those shares will be waived in circumstances where the entitlement to retain those shares would otherwise have lapsed upon the participant ceasing employment. The Board’s current intention is to exercise that discretion, if at all, only where the participant leaves employment or office without fault on their part.

The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.19, to approve the giving of benefits under the Company’s Loan Share Plan to a person by the Company in connection with that person ceasing to be an officer of, or ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office, in the Company (or subsidiary of the Company). The Company is therefore seeking shareholder approval for the exercise of the Board’s discretion in respect of any current or future participant in the Loan Share Plan. Shareholder approval (if obtained) does not guarantee that such persons will receive termination benefits. Instead the approval is intended to facilitate the Board having discretion to determine the benefits.

The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the Loan Share Plan cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company’s share price at the time of vesting and the number of shares of the particular participant that will vest. The following additional factors may also affect the benefit’s value:

  • (a) the circumstances in which the participant ceases employment or office;

  • (b) the participant’s base salary at the time the relevant shares were granted to the participant and the time they ceased employment;

  • (c) the participant’s length of service and the status of the vesting conditions attaching to the shares at the time the participant’s employment or office cease;

7

MOUNT GIBSON IRON LIMITED NOTICE OF MEETING ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2019

  • (d) the number of unvested shares that the participant holds at the time they cease employment or office;

  • (e) the Company’s share price when the value of the termination benefits is determined; and

  • (f) any other factors the Board considers relevant when exercising its discretion.

If approval is obtained, it will be effective for a period of three years from the date the resolution is passed. This means that the approval will be effective:

  • (a) if the Board (or its delegates) exercise the discretions outlined above upon cessation of employment and/or

  • (b) if the particular participant ceases employment with the Group,

during the period beginning at the conclusion of the Meeting and expiring at the conclusion of the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

If considered appropriate, the Board will seek a new approval from shareholders at or after the 3rd anniversary of this Meeting.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
