A reasonable opportunity will be given to Shareholders who are entitled to vote at the Meeting to ask the Company’s external auditor EY 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.

The following details should be included with written questions:
-
the Shareholder’s name; and
-
either the Shareholder’s SRN or HIN.
RESOLUTION 1 - Re-election of Alan Jones
Mr Jones retires by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
Mr Jones was appointed as an Independent Non-Executive Director on 28 July 2006 and is the current Chairman of the Nomination, Remuneration and Governance Committee. Mr Jones is a Chartered Accountant with extensive senior management and board experience in listed and unlisted Australian public companies, particularly in the construction, engineering, finance and investment industries. Mr Jones has been involved in the successful merger and acquisition of a number of public companies in Australia and internationally. He is a Non-Executive Director of Mulpha Australia Ltd, Sun Hung Kai & Co Ltd (Hong Kong), Allied Group Ltd (Hong Kong), Allied Properties Ltd (Hong Kong) and Air Change International Limited.
The Board (excluding Mr Jones) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Jones.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the re-election of Mr Jones.
RESOLUTION 2 - Election of Ding Rucai
Mr Ding was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 12 December 2019 to fill the casual vacancy arising on the resignation of Mr Li Shaofeng. Mr Ding is the Chairman and executive director of Hong Kong listed Shougang Fushan Resources Group Limited (“ Shougang Fushan ”). As at the date the Notice of Meeting is published, Shougang Fushan is Mount Gibson’s second largest shareholder with a 13.81% shareholding. Shougang Fushan also holds a 17.65% share interest in APAC Resources Limited, Mount Gibson’s largest shareholder with a 35.84% shareholding. Mr. Ding is also a director of Shougang Holding (Hong Kong) Limited, a company wholly owned by Shougang Group Co., Ltd (“ Shougang Group ”).

Under the Company’s Constitution, Mr Ding holds office only until the 2020 Annual General Meeting and therefore offers himself for election.
Because of his relationship with the substantial shareholder Shougang Fushan, Mr Ding is not classified as an independent director.
The Board (excluding Mr Ding) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the election of Mr Ding.
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the election of Mr Ding.

RESOLUTION 3 - Replacement of Constitution
Background
The Company adopted its current Constitution in 2008. Since then, there have been a number of changes to Australian corporations law and practice. In light of this, the Directors propose that the current Constitution be modernised to allow and cater for the use of new technologies, ensure compliance with current laws, and otherwise reflect what is now considered best market practice.
Section 136 of the Corporations Act allows a company to adopt a new constitution by special resolution of its shareholders. Resolution 3 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution which is of the type customary for modern listed public companies limited by shares (“ Proposed Constitution ”).
The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution, rather than to amend each specific provision.
The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. The Directors believe the proposed changes do not materially impact Shareholders.
It is not practicable to list all changes in detail in this Explanatory Memorandum. However, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below. The Proposed Constitution also includes proportional takeover provisions as are included in the current Constitution. The information required by the Corporations Act to be provided to Shareholders with respect to the proportional takeover provisions is also set out below.
A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders on the Company’s website: https://www.mtgibsoniron.com.au/investors-and-media/2020 Annual General Meeting/ and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary by phone (+61 8 9426 7500) or email [email protected]. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Summary of material proposed changes to the Constitution
-
General : Amending various definitions and provisions to modernise the Constitution and make it clearer and more easily understood.
-
Technology : Amending various provisions to cater for changes in technology, including the electronic execution of documents and electronic payment.
-
Variation of class rights : Amending the variation of class right provisions so that class rights can be varied by special (previously ordinary) resolutions of that class of Shareholder or by written consent of 75% (previously 50%) of the Shareholders in that class, and also to clarify the quorum requirements for separate class meetings. The Company only has one class of shares and so the Directors do not consider this change to materially impact Shareholders.
-
Restricted securities : Updating the restricted securities provisions to comply with ASX Listing Rules 9.1(a) and 15.12.
-
Distribution of profits: Amending the distribution of profits provisions so that the Company may withhold payment of a dividend if the recipient fails to nominate a bank account for receipt of the payment. The Company may credit that payment to its own account pending nomination of a valid account by the recipient. Additional changes provide that after a certain period of time, any unclaimed dividends can be reinvested as shares in Mount Gibson for that shareholder, to either be acquired on market, or as new issued shares at the then market price.
-
Transferring of shares : Including powers to implement procedures to delay or interfere with the registration of transfers of shares to give time to authenticate the relevant instrument of transfer.
9
-
General meetings : Amending the general meeting provisions to clarify that general meetings may be validly held in multiple rooms (if required, noting that the Constitution already allows for virtual meetings), and removing unnecessary qualifications on the Directors’ power to postpone or cancel a meeting.
-
Voting at general meetings : Amending the general meeting voting provisions to require all resolutions set out in the notice of meeting, by default, to be decided by poll. The updated provisions will still allow for matters to be decided by a show of hands if appropriate. This proposed change aligns with the Company’s current practice. The general proxy provisions have also been updated to align with the Company’s current practice.
-
Chairperson : Broadening the power of the Chairperson at general meeting, including the power to refuse admission to, or eject from, a general meeting any person who misuses a mobile device, or who the Chairperson has reasonable grounds to believe may behave in a dangerous, offensive or disruptive way.
-
Chairperson withdraw resolution : Giving the Chairperson power to omit from the meeting any resolution (other than those required by law) where it is desirable for the efficient and orderly conduct of the meeting.
-
Directors : Modernising the Director nomination provisions, including changing the timeframes for nominating Directors to align with current corporate practice.
-
Directors’ power to delegate : Replacing the Director delegation provisions so that the Directors’ power to delegate becomes more flexible. The proposed changes will continue to allow Directors’ to delegate powers to committees of Directors and individual Directors, but also to any other person.
-
Director remuneration and retirement benefits : Clarifying the Director remuneration provisions giving flexibility to allow the Company to pay the Directors a retirement benefit in accordance with the Corporations Act where it was considered appropriate to do so. There is no present proposal to pay any Directors a retirement benefit.
-
Directors’ meetings : Amending the Director meeting provisions so that, in the unlikely scenario that only two Directors are present or entitled to vote at a meeting of the Directors and the votes are equal on a proposed resolution, the Chairperson of the meeting does not have a second or casting vote and the proposed resolution is taken as lost.
-
Alternate Directors : Amending the Alternate Director provisions so that the majority of Directors may terminate or suspend the appointment of an Alternate Director. At present, only the appointing Director has this power.
Statement under the Corporations Act in relation to the proportional takeover approval provisions
Rule 6 of the Company’s existing Constitution contains provisions dealing with proportional takeover bids for the Company's shares. These provisions are designed to assist Shareholders to receive proper value for their shares if a proportional takeover bid is made for the Company.
Under the Corporations Act, the provisions must be renewed every three years or they will cease to have effect. The current provisions were last renewed at the Company’s 2017 Annual General Meeting. If the Proposed Constitution is approved, the proposed proportional takeover provisions (Rule 6 of the Proposed Constitution) will be in the same terms as the existing provisions (subject to some immaterial amendments to make the provisions clearer) and will have effect until the date that is three years from the date of the Meeting.
The Corporations Act requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders when they are considering the inclusion of proportional takeover provisions in a constitution.
10
Why are the proportional takeover approval provisions required?
A proportional takeover bid is one where the offer made to each Shareholder is only for a proportion of that Shareholder’s shares.
This means that control of the Company may pass without Shareholders having the chance to sell all their shares to the bidder. Shareholders may therefore be exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium for their shares.
To deal with this possibility, the takeover provisions in rule 6 of both the Company’s current Constitution and the Proposed Constitution provide that, if a proportional takeover bid is made for shares in the Company, Shareholders must vote on whether to accept or reject the offer and that decision will be binding on all the Shareholders.
What is the effect of the proportional takeover approval provisions?
If a proportional takeover bid is made, the Directors must hold a meeting of the Shareholders entitled to vote for the purpose of considering, and if thought fit, passing a resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid.
Shareholders must vote on the resolution to approve the bid more than 14 days before the bid period closes. The vote is decided on a simple majority.
Each person who, as at the end of the day on which the first offer under the bid was made, held bid class securities is entitled to vote, but the bidder and its associates are not allowed to vote.
If the resolution to approve the bid is not passed, transfers which would have resulted from the acceptance of a bid will not be registered and the bid will be taken to have been withdrawn.
If the bid is approved or taken to have been approved, the transfers resulting from the bid may be registered provided they comply with other provisions of the Corporations Act and the Company’s Constitution.
The Directors are required under the Corporations Act to ensure the resolution is voted on within the required time period. If this does not occur, and the resolution is not voted on by the deadline, the bid will be taken to have been approved.
The proportional takeover provisions do not apply to full takeover bids and only apply for three years after their approval. The provisions may be renewed, but only by a special resolution.
No knowledge of any acquisition proposals
At the date of this notice, no Director of the Company is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
Review of proportional takeover approval provisions
In the period during which the proportional takeover provisions in rule 6 of the Constitution have been in effect, there have been no full or proportional takeover bids for the Company. Accordingly, there are no actual examples against which to assess the advantages or disadvantages of the existing proportional takeover provisions for the Directors and the Shareholders, respectively, during this period.
The Directors are not aware of any potential takeover bid that was discouraged by rule 6.
Potential advantages and disadvantages
The Directors consider that the proposed reinsertion of the proportional takeover provisions into the Proposed Constitution has no potential advantages or potential disadvantages for Directors because they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted by Shareholders.
The potential advantages of the proposed proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders are:
11
-
they give Shareholders their say in determining by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
-
they may assist Shareholders avoid being locked in as a minority;
-
they increase Shareholders’ bargaining power, which may assist in ensuring that any proportional bid is adequately priced; and
-
knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders assists each individual Shareholder in assessing the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid and deciding whether to accept or reject that offer for their shares.
The potential disadvantages of the proposed proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders are:
-
proportional takeover bids for shares in the Company may be discouraged;
-
Shareholders may lose an opportunity to sell some of their shares at a premium; and
-
the likelihood of a proportional takeover being successful may be reduced.
The Directors consider that the potential advantages for Shareholders of the proportional takeover provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages, particularly in light of the fact that Shareholders as a whole are able to decide whether or not a proportional takeover bid is successful.
Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Chairperson of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
RESOLUTION 4 - 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 Directors Report in the Company’s 2020 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 4 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 4.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes cast on Resolution 4 at the Meeting were against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, and this occurred again at the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting in relation to the remuneration report considered at that meeting, the following sequence of events would occur:
12
-
The Company would be required to put to Shareholders at the 2021 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 2021 Annual General Meeting.
-
All of the Directors who were in office when the 2021 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.
Definitions
Key Management Personnel has the same meaning as in the accounting standards published by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and broadly includes those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.
Closely Related Party of a member of Key Management Personnel means:
-
(a) a spouse or child of the member;
-
(b) a child of the member’s spouse;
-
(c) a dependent of the member or the member’s spouse;
-
(d) anyone else who is one of the member’s family and may be expected to influence the member, or be influenced by the member, in the member’s dealing with the Company;
-
(e) a company the member controls; or
-
(f) a person prescribed by the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth).
Remuneration Report means the remuneration report set out in the Directors’ Report section of the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

VOTING INFORMATION STATEMENT
REQUIRED MAJORITY
The resolutions described in items 1, 2, and 4 of the “Business” section of this Notice are all ordinary resolutions and each will be passed if at least 50% of votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution are cast in favour of the resolution. Item 3 is a special resolution and will be passed if at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution are cast in favour of the resolution.
ENTITLEMENT TO VOTE
The Company has determined that for the purposes of the Corporations Act, shareholders eligible to vote at the Meeting will be taken to be those registered holders of the Company’s shares at 4:00pm (Perth time) on Monday 9 November 2020 . Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.
PROXIES
Appointing a proxy
Even though the Meeting is being held entirely online, each Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy. The proxy does not need to be a Shareholder.
A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion of votes each proxy is to exercise. If no proportion is specified, each proxy may exercise half the Shareholder’s votes.
Voting by proxy
A Shareholder may direct their proxy to vote for, against or abstain from voting on each resolution by marking the appropriate box in the voting directions section of the Proxy form. If a proxy holder votes, they must cast all votes as directed. Any directed proxies that are not voted will automatically default to the Chairman, who must vote the proxies as directed.
Voting restrictions that may affect your proxy appointment (Resolution 4 – Adoption of Remuneration Report)
• Chairman as proxy
If the Chairman is to act as your proxy in relation to Resolution 4, and you have not given directions on how to vote by marking the appropriate box in the voting directions section of the Proxy form, the Proxy form expressly directs and authorises the Chairman to cast your vote ‘for’ Resolution 4. Subject to the above requirements being met, the Chairman will vote all valid undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
• Chair is not proxy
Apart from the Chairman of the meeting, if you appoint any other Director of the Company, any other member of Key Management Personnel, or any of their Closely Related Parties to be your proxy (“ KMP Proxy ”) and you wish to vote on Resolution 4, then you must direct your KMP Proxy how to vote, by marking the appropriate box in the Voting Directions section of
14
the Proxy form for Resolution 4. If you do not give a direction to your KMP Proxy how to vote on Resolution 4, your KMP Proxy cannot exercise your vote in relation to Resolution 4.
Signing instructions – Proxy form
The Proxy form must be signed by the Shareholder or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, in a manner permitted by the Corporations Act. The proxy may, but need not, be a Shareholder. In the case of Shares jointly held by two or more persons, both holders must sign the Proxy form.
Corporate Representative
A corporation may elect to appoint an individual to act as its representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act, in which case the Company will require a certificate of appointment of the corporate representative executed in accordance with the Corporations Act. The certificate of appointment must be lodged with the Company and/or the Company’s share registry, Computershare Investor Services, before the Meeting.
