3 Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
3.1 General
In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and nonexecutive Directors.
In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more (Strike) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
This Meeting will be the Company's first annual general meeting since converting into a public company in October last year. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2022 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board in the future.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
3.2 Board recommendation
Given the material personal interests of all Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.
4 Resolution 2 – Election of Director – Ms Catherine Moises
4.1 General
Article 7.6(a) of the Constitution allows the Board 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 Article 7.6(c) of the Constitution, any Director so appointed must retire at the next annual general meeting of the Company and is then eligible for election by Shareholders at that meeting.
In addition, Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a Director appointed as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting.
On 11 February 2021, Ms Moises was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. On 13 April 2021 Ms Catherine Moises was appointed as the Non-Executive Chair.
Accordingly, Ms Catherine Moises resigns as a Director at the Meeting and, being eligible, seeks approval to be elected as a Director pursuant to Resolution 2.
4.2 Ms Catherine (Cathy) Moises
(a) Biography
Ms Cathy Moises has extensive knowledge and experience within the resource industry, having held senior roles for a number of the most prominent stock broking firms within Australia including McIntosh (now Merrill Lynch), County Securities (now Citigroup), Evans and Partners, where she was a partner, and most recently worked as Head of Research for Patersons Securities (now Canaccord Genuity).
Ms Moises holds a Bachelor of Science (Honours) with a major in Geology from Melbourne University, and a Diploma of Finance and Investment from the Securities Institute of Australia and currently serves as a Non-Executive Director for ASX listed companies: Arafura Resources Limited (ASX:ARU), Australian Potash Limited (ASX:APC), WA Kaolin Limited (ASX:WAK) and Podium Minerals Limited (ASX:POD).
(b) Independence
The Board considers Ms Catherine Moises to be an independent director, notwithstanding that she holds 600,000 Incentive Options, and may be granted further incentive options or performance rights in the future.
The Board considers that the number of Incentive Options that Ms Moises holds in question is not material and the interest will not interfere, or reasonably be seen to interfere, with Ms Moises' capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interest of the Company as a whole.
4.3 Board recommendation
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board (other than Ms Moises) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour or Resolution 2.
5 Resolution 3: Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
5.1 General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% (10% Placement Facility).
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to provide the Company the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 5.2(e) below). The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 5.2(c) below).
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval. If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
5.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Is the Company an eligible entity?
An 'eligible entity' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.
The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $13 million, based on the closing price of Shares $0.265 on 14 October 2021.
(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the eligible entity.
As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities; Shares.
(c) How many Equity Securities can be issued?
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Facility, the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of 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:
- (A) under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exception 9, 16 or 17);
- (B) on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
- (1) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the 12 month period; or
- (2) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
- (C) under an agreement to issue securities within Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
- (1) the agreement was entered into before the 12 month period; or
- (2) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to be approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4; and
-
(D) with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include any issue of Shares under the Company's 15% annual placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months; and
-
(iii) 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 the Company's 15% annual 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) At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?
Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per security which is 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 by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,
(Minimum Issue Price).
(e) When can Equity Securities be issued?
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of Meeting and will expire on the earlier to occur of:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;
- (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or
- (iii) 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),
(10% Placement Period).
(f) What is the effect of Resolution 3?
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:
(a) Final date for issue
The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 5.2(e) above).
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid if Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
(b) Minimum issue price
Where the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, it will only do so for cash consideration and the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price (refer to Section 5.2(d) above).
(c) Purposes of issues under 10% Placement Facility
The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the purposes of raising funds for continued investment in the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition) and/or for general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3 upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution
Shareholders should note that 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,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares).
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 5.2(a)) as at the date of the Notice (Variable A), with:
- (iii) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and
- (iv) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Notes:
-
- The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
- a) the issue price is the current market price ($0.265), being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 14 October 2021, being the last day that the Company's Shares traded on the ASX before this Notice was printed;
- b) Variable A is 49,366,250, being the total number of existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting;
- c) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;
- d) no convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities; and
- e) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Quoted Options, it is assumed that those Quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
- The number of Shares on issue (ie Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.
-
- 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.
-
(e) Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 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:
- (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
- (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- (iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
- (iv) 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 the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new investors who are not related parties of or associates of a related party of the Company.
(f) Issues in the past 12 months
The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(g) Voting exclusion statement
At the date of the Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in any such issue.
However, in the event that between the date of the Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.
5.4 Board recommendation
Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
