EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 Spill resolution

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.

1.2 Spill meeting

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 unless within that period none of the company’s Vacating Directors (defined below) remain as directors of the company.

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 previous financial year was approved, other than the managing director of the company ( Vacating Directors ), will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

The business of the Spill Meeting will be to put to vote resolutions to appoint persons to offices vacated by the Vacating Directors.

1.3 Determination of directors

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as a director is approved will be the directors of the company and commence to hold office at the end of the Spill Meeting.

The Corporations Act includes provisions (section 250X) to ensure a company will have at least 3 directors after the Spill Meeting in the event insufficient resolutions are passed by the requisite majority and would otherwise result in a company having fewer than 3 directors following the Spill Meeting.

The persons taken to have been appointed are those with the highest percentage of votes favouring their appointment cast at the Spill Meeting on the resolution for their appointment.

If 2 or more persons have the same percentage of votes favouring their appointment, the director or directors who hold office other than due to the operation of section 250X of the Corporations Act may choose the person taken to be appointed and such person is deemed to have a higher percentage of votes. A person taken to have been appointed following such a choice must have their appointment confirmed at the company’s next annual general

4

meeting and if the appointment is not confirmed the persons ceases to be a director of the company at the end of that annual general meeting.

1.4 Term of office

For the purposes of determining the length of time in office for future retirements by rotation, a Vacating Director who is re-elected at a Spill Meeting is considered to have been in office from the time of their previous election (i.e. his or her term of office runs as if the cessation and appointment at the Spill Meeting had not happened).

2. APPLICATION TO THE COMPANY

2.1 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous two annual general meetings, respectively held on 30 May 2018 and 30 May 2019, at least 25% of the votes cast on the remuneration report resolution were voted against adoption of the remuneration report.

A Spill Resolution was put to vote at the 30 May 2019 meeting and (with Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties excluded pursuant to the Corporations Act), more than 50% of votes cast were in favour of the Spill Resolution.

Consequently, the Company is required to convene a Spill Meeting on or before 28 August 2019, unless within that period none of the Vacating Directors remain as directors of the Company.

The Vacating Directors are Joseph Caruso, Peter Torre, Colin Hastings and Guy Walker. As at the date of this Notice, Peter Torre and Joseph Caruso remain in office, whereas Colin Hastings and Guy Walker no longer remain in office, due to retirement and failure to be re-elected, respectively.

The Vacating Directors who remain in office will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but will stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

The business of the Spill Meeting is to put to vote resolutions to appoint persons to offices vacated by the Vacating Directors.

The Directors note that the Government’s stated intention of the “two strikes rule” was to empower shareholders to constrain remuneration arrangements that were clearly excessive. The Directors do not consider this to be the case for the Company.

As disclosed in the remuneration report in the 2018 annual report, the Directors received minimal increases in their fixed cash salary, and, while the CEO and Executive Chairman received a cash bonus, this included a one-off special bonus in recognition of his performance in generating the uplift in the Company’s share price during 2018, resulting in the increased market capitalisation and individual shareholder value created.

The Directors confirm that, in considering whether or not to pay this one-off bonus, the then-existing Board canvassed some of the Company’s largest shareholders’, including Au Mining Limited, who is currently the Company’s largest Shareholder. As the increase in market capitalisation and shareholder

5

value was enjoyed by all Shareholders, the Directors do not consider this one-off special bonus to be ‘clearly excessive’ as intended by the “two strikes rule”.

In light of the above, the Directors recommend that those Vacating Directors seeking re-election (being Mr Joseph Caruso and Mr Peter Torre, who the subjects of Resolutions 1 and 2 respectively) are re-appointed to the Board.

2.2 Director Nominations

(a) Nominations by the Board

The Directors recognise that all Shareholders have the right to nominate individuals to stand for appointment as a director of the Company. It further recognises that larger substantial shareholders often insist on this right as part of their ongoing investment in the Company. Paramount to this however, is the Constitutional and Corporations Act requirements for all directors other than the managing director to stand for election by all members.

Paragraph 35(h)(2) of the Constitution provides that the Board can nominate a person for election to the office of a director.

The Board currently comprises three directors, none of whom are independent non–executive directors.

Independence, in this context, is defined to mean a non–executive director who is free from any interest and any business or other relationship that could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of MRC.

The Directors have assessed the Board’s makeup and seeks to ensure that it continues to have the mix of skills and experience necessary to conduct the Company’s activities. The Directors seek to ensure that appropriate directors are selected and appointed as required, having regard to all stakeholders of the Company.

Under the Company’s Diversity Policy, the Company employs a broad mix of individuals reflecting its philosophy of hiring the best candidate for all positions at all levels irrespective of race, religion or gender. The objective of the policy is for the Company to embrace the diversity of skills, ideas and experiences of an individual and recognise that a workforce is made up of people with differences in age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion or national origin or social origin contributes to MRC’s success and organisational strength. The Company also ensures all employees are treated with fairness and respect.

With the departure of Messrs Hastings and Walker at the Annual General Meeting held 30 May 2019, the Directors are of the view that two (2) appointments, in addition to the two (2) existing non-executive directors, should be considered;

  • (i) to replace the skillset of Mr Hastings, a candidate to provide input relevant to Mining, Technical and Resource Development;

  • (ii) to replace Mr Walker, a candidate with appropriate financial and governance experience, coupled with suitable experience in the industry and relevant in-country or relevant experience; and

6

  • (iii) a female candidate with suitable in-country experience, particularly relevant to the regulatory processes in South Africa which are critical to the Company’s operations.

Accordingly, the Directors nominate both Ms Debbie Ntombela and Mr Russell Tipper for election as Directors.

Resolutions 3 and 4 relate to the election of these nominee directors.

(b)

Nominations by Shareholders

Paragraph 35(h)(4) of the Constitution provides that, to be eligible for election as a director, a person must be nominated by a Shareholder for election, and provide their consent to the nomination, at least 30 Business Days before the meeting.

The Directors confirm that, prior to the 2019 Annual General Meeting, the Company received a letter dated 16 May 2019 from Au Mining Limited, nominating three (3) people for election as director ( Nomination ) in the event that a Spill Meeting was to be called.

The Nomination complied in with the requirements of the Constitution, and provided notice under paragraph 35(h)(4) of the Constitution of the Shareholder’s nominees for election to the Board.

Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) consider the Nomination and the election of those nominee directors proposed by Au Mining Limited.

3. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Resolutions 1 and 2 concern the re-election of those Vacating Directors who remain in office.

The background and experience of each Vacating Director seeking re-election is set out in the directors' report included in the Company’s 2018 annual report, and is re-produced below.

Joseph Anthony Caruso – Resolution 1

Mr Joseph Caruso was appointed as Non-Executive Director of the Company in September 2000. He is a Director of Zurich Bay Holdings Pty Ltd and Construction Manager of Simto Australia Pty Ltd, both of which are involved in mining, earthmoving and civil engineering construction earthworks. He has considerable experience in managing and administration of engineering, mining, raw materials production operations, earthmoving and related infrastructure utilities services resource contracts.

The Directors, with Mr Joseph Caruso abstaining, unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Peter Patrick Torre – Resolution 2

Mr Peter Torre was appointed Company Secretary of the Company in July 2006, and as a Director of the Company on 1 April 2010. He is a Chartered Accountant, a Chartered Secretary and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. He was previously a partner of an internationally affiliated firm of Chartered Accountants. Mr Torre is an Independent Non-Executive Director of VEEM Ltd, Zenith Energy Limited and Volt Power Group Ltd.

7

The Directors, with Mr Peter Torre abstaining, unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – ELECTION OF BOARD NOMINEE DIRECTORS

Debbie Ntombela – Resolution 3

The Directors nominate Ms Debbie Ntombela for election as director. Ms Ntombela is an independent, unrelated party to the Company and the Directors.

Ms Ntombela BProc, holds a Certificate in Mineral Law Administration and Environmental Management, a Certificate in Management of Minerals and Mining Policy and was admitted as an Attorney in South Africa in June 1983. She is currently a Partner and the law firm Shepstone & Wylie

Ms Ntombela has in-depth knowledge of the mining sector, specifically regarding regulatory compliance. Her knowledge has been gained over many years of working at and with the Department of Mineral Resources and the mining industry in South Africa. Her strength lies in her experience, and her ability to provide seamless, integrated, practical advice and training.

Ms Ntombela has extensive experience in regulatory compliance, as well as an existing relationship with the South African regulators. Ms Ntombela specialises in applications for prospecting rights, mining rights, and mining permits, and all related mining and exploration documentation.

Ms Ntombela is a well-known and respected figure in the mining industry in South Africa. She assisted with the drafting of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 and also the 2004 Mining Charter. She also drafted the Social and Labour Plan Guidelines for the Department of Mineral Resources.

During her tenure at the Department of Mineral Resources, Ms Ntombela was part of the South African delegation which negotiated bilateral agreements on behalf of the Republic of South Africa.

Ms Ntombela served as a non-executive director of the Council for Geoscience South Africa from 2002 to 2008 and is currently a non executive director of Zinoju Coal (Pty) Limited and Ivanplats (Pty) Limited.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Russell Tipper – Resolution 4

The Directors nominate Russell Tipper for election as director. Mr Tipper is an independent, unrelated party to the Company and the Directors.

Mr Tipper holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Mining), a Master of Business Administration, a WA Quarry Manager’s Certificate of Competency and is a Member of Australasian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy

Mr Tipper has considerable senior executive, mining and project level experience having held a number of senior executive positions with mining companies over the years, including group treasurer for a large miner for 4 years. His broad experience across various facets of mining companies from corporate to operations would be of significant benefit to the Board and the Company.

8

He has delivered Feasibility Studies and project proposals for major mining and infrastructure projects such as the Hope Downs Iron Ore Project and the Karara Magnetite Project.

Mr Tipper has also been instrumental in debt restructuring and capital raisings, along with providing leadership in the revision of work practices at mining operations.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

5. RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 7 – ELECTION OF NOMINEE DIRECTORS

On 16 May 2019, the Company received the Nomination from Au Mining Limited. The Nomination sought the appointment by Shareholders of David Lewis Baker, Michael George Gibson and Guy Redvers Walker to the Board. A copy of the Nomination is set out in the Schedule, and includes the background and experience of Au Mining’s nominee directors.

Resolutions 5 to 7 concern the election of nominee directors, pursuant to the Nomination.

David Baker – Resolution 5

The Directors are willing to consider Mr Baker on the basis of his background and potential contribution to the Board and the Company. However, the Directors make no recommendation to Shareholders whether to vote for or against Resolution 5.

Michael Gibson – Resolution 6

The Directors are of the view that the appointment of Mr Gibson would be of no value, other than providing Au Mining Limited with additional representation on the Board. The Directors do not consider it appropriate that a Shareholder that controls approximately 25% of the Company’s issued capital should receive representation on the Board over and above this proportion.

Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote against Resolution 6.

Guy Walker – Resolution 7

The Directors note that a majority of shareholders voted against the election of Mr Walker at the Company’s AGM held 30 May 2019. As such, and respecting the majority rights of MRC shareholders, it would not be prudent for the Directors to recommend Mr Walker be considered by Shareholders.

Further, the Company’s current CEO and Chairman, Mr Mark Caruso, has indicated that he would not continue in his executive capacity with the Company if Mr Walker was to be elected. This outcome represents a significant risk to the Company given the importance of key management on a number of current and ongoing projects, including:

(a) securing in-country tenure for the Company’s Tormin Mineral Sands project in South Africa;

(b) progressing to completion the Definitive Feasibility Study at the Company’s Munglinup graphite project;

9

  • (c) the expected development and mining at the Company’s Munglinup graphite project; and

  • (d) completing the acquisition, and integration of, the Company’s recently acquired Skaland graphite project in Norway.

Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote against Resolution 7.
