Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and
  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the question that the resolution be passed; and
  • either of the following applies:
    • if a record of attendance is made for the meeting the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors' report, the remuneration report and the auditor's report.

The audited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 included an emphasis of matter in the audit report. The basis for the emphasis of matter was the material uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Please refer to the 2014 Annual Report for further details.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – REMUNERATION REPORT (NON-BINDING RESOLUTION)

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 Directors or the Company.

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2015 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company (Spill Resolution).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the Company's 2015 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2014 directors' report 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.

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 2014 Annual Report.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF GEORGE SAKALIDIS

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and section 11.3 of the Constitution provide that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the Director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

A retiring Director is eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire at any annual general meeting must be those who have been longest in office since their last election but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire must (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

Mr George Sakalidis retires and seeks re-election in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and section 11.3 of the Constitution. Details regarding George Sakalidis are set out in the Company's 2014 Annual Report.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – ELECTION OF CHEW WAI CHUEN

6. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL FOR ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY

6.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the entity's annual general meeting (10% Placement Capacity).

Resolution 6 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 6 for it to be passed.

An Eligible Entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the SRP/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, the number of Equity Securities the Company 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 in Section 6.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of the Company's fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during a period of up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Board believes that Resolution 6 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity's 15% annual placement capacity.

The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company current has three classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue being its 196,314,005 Shares (fully paid ordinary); 35,960,024 partly paid Shares paid to $0.001 and unpaid $0.049 (Partly Paid Shares)); and 8,221,457 Options exercisable at $0.30 each and expiring 15 March 2015 (Listed Options).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue pursuant to approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x B) – C

Where:

  • A = the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
    • (i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
    • (ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
    • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;
    • (iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
  • B = 10%.
  • C = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 6:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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 ASX trading days of the date in section 6.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company's main undertaking),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX (10% Placement Capacity Period).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*****The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

    1. The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 20 October 2014.
    1. The issue price set out above is the issue price for the Placement completed on 20 October 2014.
    1. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
    1. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares (it does not include Partly Paid Shares or Listed Options even though Partly Paid Shares and Listed Options may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity). It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
    1. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
    1. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may decide to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity to raise funds for the purpose of increasing the JORC compliant resource at its Dandaragan Trough Project. Funds may also be raised to fund working capital requirements of the Company relevant at, or about, the time of the issue.

The Company may also issue Equity Securities for non-cash consideration, such as for the acquisition of new assets or investments. If the Company issues Equity Securities for non-cash consideration, the Company will release on valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the deemed issue price of the Equity Securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon any issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;
  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
  • (iv) the Company's circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency;
  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and
  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its previous annual general meeting on 25 November 2013. In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6, since 25 November 2013, the Company has issued 138,252,965 Shares (102,292,941 fully paid, 35,960,024 party paid) which represents 59.5% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue on 20 October 2014.

6.4 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 6.

7. RESOLUTION 7 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 16,400,000 Shares to Exempt Investors on the terms set out below.

These Shares were issued at $0.05 per Share as part of a placement to institutional investors who qualify under section 708 of the Corporations Act.

As announced on 20 October 2014, the Company completed a placement of $2.82 million. Shareholders had previously approved a placement of $2.0 million at the general meeting held on 12 September 2014. The Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the remaining $820,000 issued under the Company's 15% placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

7.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Under Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules, there are limitations on the capacity of a company to enlarge its capital by the issue of equity securities.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Approval is sought under Resolution 7 to allow the Company to ratify the issue and allotment of the 16,400,000 Shares issued not previously approved by Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4. The reason for an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is to reinstate the Company's capacity to issue up to 15% of its issued Shares without the approval of its Shareholders in any 12 month period.

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval of the share issue, the subject of Resolution 7 in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (f) a total of $820,000 was raised via the issue of the Shares which will be used for the Company's ongoing project development.

7.2 Directors' Recommendation

None of the Directors has a material personal interest in the subject matter of Resolution 7. The Board believes that the ratification of the Share issue the subject of Resolution 7 is beneficial for the Company.

10.2 Directors' Recommendation

The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10 as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company's share capital during the next 12 months without shareholder approval.

11. RESOLUTION 11 – APPROVAL TO INCREASE AGGREGATE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION

11.1 General

Resolution 11 seeks the approval of Shareholders to increase the maximum aggregate annual amount that may be paid to Directors as remuneration for their services.

11.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.17

Clause 11.9 of the Constitution requires that the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the Directors (excluding salaries of executive Directors) from time to time will not exceed the sum determined by the Shareholders in general meeting and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided between the Directors as the Directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them, then in equal shares.

ASX Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total amount of Director's fees payable by it or any of its child entities without the approval of Shareholders. This rule does not apply to the salaries of executive Directors.

The current maximum aggregate amount payable to Directors in any year is $200,000. This Resolution seeks the approval of Shareholders to increase the maximum aggregate annual remuneration for all non-executive Directors by $200,000 to $400,000.

The total amount of Directors' fees payable includes superannuation contributions made by the Company for the benefit of non-executive directors and any fees which a non-executive Director agrees to sacrifice on a pre-tax basis.

The Company has been fortunate with the technical expertise and experience of the Directors it has been able to attract. With the increasing demands placed on directors of public companies generally, and the additional roles as members of the remuneration and audit committees recommended in the ASX Corporate Governance guidelines, the increase in aggregate remuneration payable to non-executive Directors will allow for the extra time and effort in their expanded roles, and also to appoint additional non-executive Directors who the other Directors think can deliver additional skills to the Board.

The Directors believe that the proposed increase in aggregate remuneration is appropriate for the Company and is in line with the remuneration paid by ASX-listed companies of similar size and nature.

If this resolution is passed, the Company will have the capacity to pay the nonexecutive Directors up to $400,000 per annum in aggregate, although it is not proposed at this stage that this capacity will be used in full.

    1. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the shareholder's voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.
    1. A duly appointed proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
    1. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the proxy form or otherwise with the provisions of section 127 of the Corporations Act. section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
    • Directors of the company;
    • a Director and a company secretary of the company; or
    • for a proprietary company that has a sole Director who is also the sole company secretary that Director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole Director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

    1. 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. Where a proxy form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
    1. To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form enclosed and either:
    • (a) send the proxy form by post to Potash West NL, PO Box 588, Belmont, Western Australia 6984; or
    • (b) send the proxy form by facsimile to the Company on facsimile number (08) 9475 0847,

so that it is received not later than 2.00pm WST on Monday, 24 November 2014.

Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
