10 RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass, with or without amendment, the following resolution as a special resolution :
“That, for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1A and for all other purposes, Shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company (at the time of the issue) calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, for the purpose and on the terms set out in the Explanatory Statement accompanying this Notice of Annual General Meeting.”
Short Explanation: Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities of up to 10% of its issued ordinary share capital through placements over a 12 month period following the entity’s annual general meeting (“Additional 10% Placement Facility”). The Additional 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility throughout the 12 months after the Annual General Meeting. The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the period set out in the Explanatory Statement.
Voting Exclusion
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 9 by any person who may participate in the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility and any person who might obtain a benefit (except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities) if Resolution 9 is passed, and any person associated with those persons. However, the Company will not disregard any votes cast on Resolution 9 by such person if:
-
(a) the person is acting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
-
(b) the person is the Chairman of the Meeting acting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in
4
accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
Important note : The proposed allottees of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility are not as yet known or identified. In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of any Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted, and there is no reason to exclude their votes.
11 RESOLUTION 10 – SPILL RESOLUTION
If the outcome of Resolution 1 in this Notice of Annual General Meeting is such that at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Company is required to put the following resolution to the Meeting.
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following Resolution as an ordinary resolution:
“That for the purposes of Section 250V(1) of the Corporations Act, and for all other purposes, a general meeting (“Spill Meeting”) of Shareholders be held within 90 days of the 2012 Annual General Meeting to consider re-election of the Directors as at the date of the 2012 Annual General Meeting.”
Voting Exclusion
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 10 by or on behalf of a Restricted Voter[2] . However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
(a) it is cast by a person acting as a proxy, appointed by writing, and the Proxy Form specifies how the proxy is to vote on the proposed Resolution; and
-
(b) it is not cast on behalf of a Restricted Voter.
OTHER BUSINESS
To deal with any other business which may be brought forward in accordance with the Constitution and the Corporations Act.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Introduction
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company to better understand the resolutions to be put to the Annual General Meeting to be held at The Park Business Centre, 45 Ventnor Avenue, West Perth, Western Australia, 6005, on Wednesday, 21 November 2012 at 11.00am WST.
1 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
The first item of the Notice of Annual General Meeting deals with the consolidated Annual Financial Statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 together with the Directors’ Declaration and Report in relation to that financial year and the Auditor’s Report on those Financial Statements. Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.
No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the accounts and on the business, operations and management of the Company.
The Company’s Auditor, Stantons International, will be present at the Annual General Meeting and the Chairman will provide Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions relevant to:
-
the conduct of the audit;
-
the preparation and content of the independent Audit Report;
-
the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of accounts; and
-
the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company’s Auditor about the matters above, may be submitted no later than 5 Business Days before the Meeting to the Company at 143 Hay Street, Subiaco WA 6008.
2 RESOLUTION 1 – NON-BINDING RESOLUTION TO ADOPT REMUNERATION REPORT
The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2012 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the policy for the remuneration of the Directors and executives of the Company. In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act the Company is required to present to its Shareholders, for consideration and adoption, the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2012 Annual Report.
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website at:
http://www.redbankcopper.com.au/investors-and-media/annualhalf-yearlyquarterly-reports.html
Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2012 Annual General
7
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, the Corporations Act sets out a “two strikes” re-election process. Under this process, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Company’s Remuneration Report at two successive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second annual general meeting, to approve calling an extraordinary general meeting (“Spill Resolution”) to consider the appointment of all of the Directors who must stand for re-appointment. If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting (“Spill Meeting”) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the latest Remuneration Report was considered, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
At the Company’s 2011 Annual General Meeting, over 25% of the votes cast were against the adoption of the Remuneration Report. If at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2012 Annual General Meeting, Resolution 10 will be required to be put to the 2012 Annual General Meeting.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any share based compensation. All of the Directors of the Company who were named as Directors in the Remuneration Report at the 2011 Annual General Meeting have since resigned. Accordingly, while the Company has taken last year’s “first strike” into consideration in determining the subsequent Directors’ remuneration, the latest Remuneration Report does not detail any proposed action or reasons for an absence of action in response to the “first strike”.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
The Chairman of the Meeting will vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Directors’ Recommendation

9 RESOLUTION 8 – AMENDMENT OF COMPANY CONSTITUTION
Shareholder approval is sought for the amendment of the Constitution of the Company. If the special resolution seeking this approval is passed, the amendments will be effective immediately following the Annual General Meeting.
The Directors believe that the Constitution should be brought up to date with the current provisions of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules of the ASX.
If the special resolution is passed, the following substantive amendments to the Constitution of the Company (a complete list of amendments is set out in the Schedule) will apply:
- (a) Clause 8 – Transfer of Shares
Clause 8.4(c) has been amended to expand the circumstances when the Company can charge for the registration of transfer documents. The previous clause did provide for the circumstances outlined in the Listing Rules.
- (b) Clause 9 – Transmission of Shares.
Clauses 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 have been amended to include reference to the transmission of shares upon mental incapacity, in addition to circumstances of death or bankruptcy. This is consistent with the provisions in section 1072D of the Corporations Act.
- (c) Clause 12 – Proceedings at General Meetings
Clause 12.7 and 12.9 have been amended to allow the Chairman of a general meeting to adjourn the meeting without the necessary consent of the general meeting, as well as have the final decision in relation to matters of conduct at the general meeting.
- (d) Clause 13.4 – Additional Directors
Clause 13.4 has been amended so that a Director appointed in a temporary position will hold office until the next annual general meeting, and is taken into account when determining the Directors that are to retire by rotation at such annual general meeting. The previous clause was more onerous than the requirement under the Listing Rules.
- (e) Clause 13.7 – Remuneration
Clause 13.7 has been amended to clarify what payments are included in the total remuneration payable to Directors and non-Executive Directors. Under Listing Rule 10.17, the total remuneration payable to Directors includes superannuation payments; however the total remuneration payable to non-Executive Directors does not include remuneration such as shares or options.
- (f) Clause 21 – Dividends and Reserves
Clause 21.1 has been amended to allow for the payment of dividends in accordance with the dividend rules which were amended in the Corporations Act in 2010. Broadly, the new dividend rules allow dividends to be paid to the extent the assets of the company exceed the liabilities as opposed to merely out of the profits of the Company. Consequently, clause 21.3 has been deleted as this clause required dividends to be payable from profits only.
- (g) Clause 27 – Indemnities and Insurance
Clause 27.2 has been amended to reflect the broad indemnity of officers and auditors as expressed in section 199A of the Corporations Act. The previous clause limited the
11
Company’s ability to provide indemnity to officers and auditors of the Company for legal expenses.
- (h) Clause 32 – Sale of the Company’s Main Undertaking
Clause 32 has been deleted as matters pertaining to the Company’s main undertaking are dealt with by the Listing Rules.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.
10 RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
Listing Rule 7.1A
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities of up to 10% of its issued ordinary share capital through placements over a 12 month period following the entity’s annual general meeting (“Additional 10% Placement Facility”). The Additional 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, as at the time of the entity’s annual general meeting. The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice of Annual General Meeting and is expected to be an eligible entity as at the time of the Annual General Meeting. As at 22 October 2012 the Company’s market capitalisation is $237,180.
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility throughout the 12 months after the Annual General Meeting. The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the period set out below.
Resolution 9 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to this Notice of Annual General Meeting below).
The Company is seeking a mandate to issue securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility to enable the Company to pursue its growth strategy with the flexibility to act quickly as potential business opportunities arise.
Regulatory Requirements
In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.3A, Shareholders are advised of the following information:
Minimum Issue Price
Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, namely Shares.
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must not be lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
- (a) the date on which the Equity Securities are issued; or
12
- (b) the date on which the price of Equity Securities is agreed, provided that the issue is thereafter completed within 5 business days.
Dilution
As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has 392,630,263 Shares on issue. If Shareholders approve Resolution 9, the Company will currently have the capacity to issue approximately 39,263,026 Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.
The precise 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 following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
i. plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
ii. plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
iii. plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4;
-
iv. 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 the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
If Resolution 9 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below to the extent Shareholders do not receive any Shares under such issues. There is a risk that:
-
(a) 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 Annual General Meeting; and
-
(b) 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.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the closing price of Shares on 21 November 2011 being the last date of trading prior to suspension of the Shares on ASX, 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 this Notice of Annual General Meeting.
The below table also shows:
- (a) 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
13
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
- (b) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the closing price of Shares on 21 November 2011 being the last date of trading prior to suspension of the Shares on ASX.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Facility.
-
No Options are exercised 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 Additional 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. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The issue price is $0.003, based on the closing price of the Shares as last traded on ASX on 21 November 2011. Since that date, the Company’s Shares have been suspended from trading on ASX.
14
Issue Period
If Shareholders approve Resolution 9, the Company will have a mandate to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A from the date of the Annual General Meeting until the earlier of the following to occur:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
(b) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
(the “Additional 10% Placement Period”).
The Company will only issue and allot Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility during the Additional 10% Placement Period.
Purpose of Issues
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(b) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets, which include the Redbank Copper Project in Northern Territory, Australia, and/or general working capital.
The Company will provide further information at the time of issue of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in compliance with its disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A.
Allocation Policy
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Additional 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(b) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(d) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing Shareholders and/or new Shareholders.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.
Previous issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and accordingly has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting.
15
Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 9 is included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.
At the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has not approached any particular existing security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. Accordingly, the proposed allottees of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility are not as yet known or identified.
In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of any Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted, and there is no reason to exclude their votes.
No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Director’s Recommendation
The Board believes that the Additional 10% Placement Facility is beneficial for the Company as it will give the Company the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 10% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months.
Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.
11 RESOLUTION 10 – SPILL RESOLUTION
As set out above in the Explanatory Statement relating to Resolution 1, the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2012 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the policy for the remuneration of the Directors and executives of the Company. In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act the Company is required to present to its shareholders the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2012 Annual Report.
Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2011 Annual General Meeting, and then again at the 2012 Annual General Meeting, the Company will be required to put this Resolution 10 to the 2012 Annual General Meeting, to approve calling an extraordinary general meeting (“Spill Resolution”).
At the Company’s 2011 Annual General Meeting, over 25% of the votes cast were against the adoption of the Remuneration Report. If the outcome of Resolution 1 in this Notice of Annual General Meeting is such that at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Company is required to put the Spill Resolution to the 2012 Annual General Meeting.
Resolution 10 is a contingent resolution that will only be considered if 25% or more of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are cast against Resolution 1.
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting (“Spill Meeting”) within 90 days of the 2012 Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2012 Directors’ Report was approved, will (if desired) need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting, those
16
persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
Shareholders who want to cast their vote on Resolution 10 will need to vote on Resolution 10 in the attached Proxy Form prior to the consideration of Resolution 1 at the Annual General Meeting, notwithstanding that Resolution 10 will not be considered if Resolution 1 receives a “no” vote of less than 25% at the Annual General Meeting.
As a public company is required to have a minimum of three directors, the Corporations Act includes a mechanism to ensure that the Company will have at least three Directors after the Spill Meeting. If at the Spill Meeting, three Directors are not appointed by ordinary resolution, the persons taken to be appointed are those with the highest percentage of votes favouring their appointment cast at the Spill Meeting on the resolution for their appointment (even if less than half the votes cast on the resolution were in favour of their appointment).
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommend Shareholders vote AGAINST Resolution 10.
