4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of the Remuneration Report
4.1 Background
In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put a nonbinding resolution to its Shareholders for consideration and adoption of its Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting. The Remuneration Report is a distinct section of the annual Directors’ report which deals with the remuneration of Directors, executives and senior managers of the Company.
The Annual Report is currently available on the Company's website at www.minbos.com.
By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:
-
(a) explains the Company’s remuneration policy and the process for determining the remuneration of its Directors and executive officers;
-
(b) addresses the relationship between the Company’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance; and
-
(c) sets out the remuneration details for each Director and executive officer named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.
The remuneration levels for Directors, executives and senior managers are competitively set to attract and retain appropriate Directors and Key Management Personnel.
The chair of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
4.2 Regulatory Requirements
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Corporations Act provides that if the Company’s Remuneration Report resolution receives a “no” vote of 25% or more of votes cast at the Annual General Meeting, the Company’s subsequent Remuneration Report must explain the Board’s proposed action in response or, if the Board does not propose any action, the Board’s reasons for not making any changes.
In addition, pursuant to the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting, if at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to a vote.
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the Directors who were in office when the Directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) 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 is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting 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. 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 annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2018.
Proxy restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
| Proxy | Directions given | No directions given |
|---|---|---|

2 Refers to the Chair (where he/she 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). 3 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.
4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.
4.3 Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Damian Black
5.1 General
The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.
Pursuant to clause 13.2 of the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders.
Mr Damian Black, having been appointed by other directors on 21 February 2014 in accordance with the Constitution, will retire in accordance with the Constitution and ASX Listing Rules 14.4 and being eligible, seeks re-election from Shareholders.
5.2
Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Black is a Director / Founder at Aesir Capital, a Sydney based boutique investment bank. Prior to founding Aesir, he worked as a Director at Asia Principal Capital – Corporate Finance. Mr Black has over 10 years’ experience in corporate finance and investment banking having commenced with Tolhurst Limited in 2006. He is currently a Non-Executive Director of Antilles Oil and Gas NL.

5.3
Board recommendation
The Board (excluding Mr Black who has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 2) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
6. Resolution 3 – Approval for Additional 10% Facility
6.1 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 over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ).
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 $300,000,000.
The Company is an eligible entity. As at the date of this Notice, is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $11,309,123 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 5 October 2018).
If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of Equity Securities the eligible entity 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 below).
The effect of Resolution 3 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 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 3 for it to be passed.
The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice of Annual General Meeting. However, it is possible that the Company’s market capitalisation could increase to $300 million or more (for example, as a result of an increase in the Company’s Share price) by the time of the Annual General Meeting such that the Company will not be eligible to seek security approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Facility. If this occurs, or the Company is included in the S&P / ASX 300 Index as at the time of the Annual General Meeting, Resolution 3 will be withdrawn and any votes cast on the Resolution will be disregarded.
6.2 Summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
- (a) Shareholder approval
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables the Company to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at its annual general meeting in addition to those under the eligible entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
- (b) Equity Securities
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: MNB).
- (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
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:
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This
does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
- (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A 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.
- (d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c)).
- (e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 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 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
-
(iii) The approval ceases to be valid in the event that holders of the eligible entity’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under rule 11.1.2 or rule 11.2.
( 10% Placement Period ).
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 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 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(c) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice and assuming any ratification resolutions in this Notice are approved by Shareholders.
-
(d) The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

$1,130,912 | $2,261,825 | $4,523,649 |
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
No Options are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
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%.
-
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 Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
The issue price is $0.002, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX 5 October 2018 being that last day that the Company’s Shares traded on the ASX before this Notice was printed.
-
(e) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.
-
(f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
