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 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 a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2

Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, 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 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.

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.

The Company considers it appropriate to adopt a new employee share plan at this time, which is suited to the Company’s current circumstances.

6.2 General

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled Employee Share Plan ( Share Plan ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).

The objective of the Share Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Share Plan and the future issue of Shares under the Share Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Non-executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the Share Plan.

7.1 Background

The Company has an existing employee incentive option plan approved by Shareholders at an annual general meeting held on 17 November 2011. The approval for that plan will expire on 17 November 2014.

The Company considers it appropriate to adopt a new employee incentive option plan at this time, which is suited to the Company’s current circumstances and to also ensure the plan is up to date with current legislative and regulatory requirements.

7.2 General

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholders approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled Employee Incentive Option Plan ( Option Plan ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 4.1 above and a summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) is set out in section 6.2 above.

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to issue a limited number of Options under the Option Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

The objective of the Option Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Option Plan and the future issue of Options under the Option Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Non-executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the Option Plan.

Any future issues of Options under the Option Plan to a related party or a person whose relation with the company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

Ms Lai You is a related party of the Company by virtue being a Mr Andrew Tsang’s (a Director) mother. Accordingly, Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Conversion Shares to Ms Lai You (or her nominee) upon conversion of the Convertible Note.

8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The conversion of the Convertible Note will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Ms Lai You is a related party of the Company by virtue being a Mr Andrew Tsang’s (a Director) mother.

The Directors (other than Mr Andrew Tsang who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Shares to Ms Lai You on conversion of the Convertible Note as they consider the terms of the Convertible Note and the issue of the Shares pursuant to the Convertible Note to be commercially reasonable and was negotiated at arm’s length.

8.3

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the conversion of the Convertible Note involves the issue of Shares to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

8.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 9:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Ms Lai You (or her nominee);

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 5,000,000;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur within three business days after the conversion of the Convertible Note;

14

3037-01/Notice of AGM 2013 (MDX) (ASX and ASIC approved) - reformatted

  • (d) the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they are being issued in satisfaction of a loan of $600,000. The deemed issue price will be $0.12 per Share;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares as the Shares are being issued in satisfaction of a loan of $600,000. The funds received from the loan will be applied towards further exploration and development of the Company’s current projects and general working capital.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Shares to Ms Lai You (or her nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

9. RESOLUTION 10 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTY – DR STEPHEN WARD

9.1 General

Pursuant to the employment agreement between the Company and Dr Stephen Ward, the Company agreed to issue a total of 10,000,000 Options to Dr Ward. At a general meeting of Shareholders held on 1 November 2012, the Company’s Shareholders approved the issue of the 10,000,000 Options to Dr Ward.

On 9 November 2012, the Company announced to the ASX that 4,000,000 of the Options had been issued to Dr Ward. However, Dr Ward declined the remaining 6,000,000 Options due to an Interpretative Decision issued by the Australian Taxation Office relating to the treatment of employee options under the Fringe Benefits Tax regime. Accordingly, the 6,000,000 Options were not issued to Dr Ward.

In lieu of the 6,000,000 Options which were previously not issued to Dr Ward, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 6,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Dr Stephen Ward (or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The grant of the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Dr Stephen Ward is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion,

15

3037-01/Notice of AGM 2013 (MDX) (ASX and ASIC approved) - reformatted

such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Related Party Options to Dr Stephen Ward.

9.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Related Party Options:

  • (a) the related party is Dr Stephen Ward and he is a related party by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Related Party Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to Dr Stephen Ward is 6,000,000 Related Party Options;

  • (c) the Related Party Options will be granted to Dr Stephen Ward no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Options will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the Related Party Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 4;

  • (f) the value of the Related Party Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 5;

  • (g) the current relevant interests of Dr Stephen Ward in securities of the Company are set out below:

(i) if the Related Party Options granted to Dr Stephen Ward are exercised, a total of 6,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 252,303,570 to 258,303,570 (assuming that no other

16

3037-01/Notice of AGM 2013 (MDX) (ASX and ASIC approved) - reformatted

Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 2.32%.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:

Price Date
Highest 15 cents 27 & 28 March 2013 and
2 & 3 April 2013
Lowest 6.1 cents 4, 5 & 8 October 2012
Last 10.5 cents 4 October 2013
  • (k) the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to Dr Stephen Ward is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Dr Stephen Ward to motivate and reward the performance of Dr Stephen Ward in his role as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company;

  • (l) Dr Stephen Ward declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 10 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 10 be passed.

  • (m) with the exception of Dr Stephen Ward, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 10;

  • (n) Mr Gilbert George recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10 for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of the Related Party Options to Dr Stephen Ward, will align the interests of Dr Stephen Ward with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Related Party Options 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 Dr Stephen Ward; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (o) Mr Benjamin Chow recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10 for the reasons set out in paragraph (n);

  • (p) Mr Yonggang Li recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10 for the reasons set out in paragraph (n);

17

3037-01/Notice of AGM 2013 (MDX) (ASX and ASIC approved) - reformatted

  • (q) Mr Kgai Mun Loh recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10 for the reasons set out in paragraph (n);

  • (r) Mr Andrew Tsang recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10 for the reasons set out in paragraph (n);

  • (s) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of Dr Stephen Ward, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Related Party Options; and

  • (t) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 10.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to Dr Stephen Ward as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Options to Dr Stephen Ward will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

1.

( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

2.

( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

3.

( Signing instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

4.

( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  1. ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  2. (a) post to Mindax Limited, PO Box 92 West Perth WA 6872; or

  3. (b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9485 2500; or

  4. (c) email to the Company at [email protected],

so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.

Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.
