EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
1. INTRODUCTION
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Kin Mining N.L. ( Kin or the Company ) in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Friday, the 15[th] of September 2017, commencing at 11.00am (WST) at 1[st] Floor, 54 Kings Park Road, West Perth, Western Australia.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice.
This Explanatory Statement forms part of, and should be read in conjunction with, the accompanying Notice.
2. RESOLUTION 1 - RATIFICATION OF SHARE ISSUE TO SOPHISTICATED INVESTORS
On 10 May 2017, the Company issued a total of 20,049,375 Shares in a share placement to sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement ). The Placement raised a total of $6,415,800 (before costs) and was completed in accordance with the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 in respect of 15,049,375 Shares and pursuant to the Shareholder approval received at a General Meeting of the Company held on 10 April 2017 for the issue of 5,000,000 Shares.
Resolution 1 seeks ratification by Shareholders for the issue of 15,049,375 Shares pursuant to the Placement ( Placement Shares ).
The Placement Shares were issued without Shareholder approval and as such Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities if, when aggregated with other issues or agreements to issue of equity securities over the previous 12 month period and not subject to an exception to Listing Rule 7.1, the number of equity securities to be issued or agreed to be issued exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities of the company on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.4 it is possible for shareholders to approve an issue of securities which has already taken place, with the effect that the approved issue will be exempt from being counted towards the portion of the 15% limit that has been used. That is, if Resolution 1 is approved, the Shares will not be included in the Company’s 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, Shareholders are advised of the following particulars in relation to the issue of Placement Shares pursuant to Resolution 1.
(a) Number of securities allotted and issued
15,049,375 Shares were issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Shares were issued on 10 May 2017.
(c) Price at which securities were allotted and issued
$0.32 per Share.
(d) The terms of the securities
The Shares are ordinary fully paid shares which rank equally with existing Shares on issue.
8
(e) The basis on which allottees were determined
The Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors none of which are related parties of the Company. The Company used the funds raised from the Placement for the development of the Leonora Gold Project and for general working capital.
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders ratify the issue of the Placement Shares, they will be exempt from being counted towards the portion of the 15% limit that has been used.
3. RESOLUTION 2 - RATIFICATION OF OPTION ISSUE TO ACN 112 940 057 PTY LTD
Resolution 2 seeks ratification by Shareholders for the issue of 5,000,000 Incentive Options to ACN 112 940 057 Pty Ltd ( ACN ) as announced to the ASX on 12 April 2017. The Incentive Options were issued without Shareholder approval. Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 of the Incentive Options.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities if, when aggregated with other issues or agreements to issue of equity securities over the previous 12 month period and not subject to an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the number of equity securities to be issued or agreed to be issued exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities of the company on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 it is possible for shareholders to approve an issue of securities which has already taken place, with the effect that the approved issue will be exempt from being counted towards the portion of the 15% limit that has been used. That is, if Resolution 2 is approved, the Incentive Options will not be included in the Company’s 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, Shareholders are advised of the following particulars in relation to the issue of Incentive Options pursuant to Resolution 2.
(a) Number of securities allotted and issued
5,000,000 Incentive Options were issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Incentive Options were issued on 13 April 2017.
(c) Price at which securities were allotted and issued
Nil.
(d) The terms of the securities
The Incentive Options are exercisable at $0.27 on or before 10 April 2020 and on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3.
(e) The basis on which allottees were determined
The Incentive Options were issued as part of a Subscription and Settlement Deed entered into by the Company in full and final settlement of a dispute with ACN arising out of previous agreements as announced to the ASX on 12 April 2017.
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
9
If Shareholders ratify the issue of the 5,000,000 Incentive Options, they will be exempt from being counted towards the portion of the 15% limit that has been used.
4. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES TO MARVYN (FRITZ) FITTON
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of Shares to Mr Marvyn (Fritz) Fitton. Mr Fitton advanced $1,000,000 to the Company in November 2014 to permit the Company to complete the acquisition of the Leonora Gold Project ( Fitton Loan ). Mr Fitton was a former Director of the Company. He resigned on 13 February 2017.
The Company and Mr Fitton have agreed to repay $500,000 of the outstanding principal of the Fitton Loan in Shares. The Company will repay the balance of the Fitton Loan and accrued interest in cash.
The number of Shares to be issued to Mr Fitton in satisfaction of the repayment of $500,000 of principal is to be calculated on the basis of a 15 day volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) for Shares prior to the date of issue. For example, if the 15 day VWAP on the date of issue is $0.40, Mr Fitton will be issued 1,250,000 Shares. Due to the 15 day VWAP not being known at the date of this Notice, it is not possible to determine the exact number of Shares to be issued to Mr Fitton at this time.
Completion is scheduled to take place 10 business days after Shareholder approval is received.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for all purposes, including for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
As at the date of this Notice, Mr Fitton currently holds 2,617,500 Shares and 37,500 Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.40 on or before 31 March 2019.
If this Resolution 3 is passed, Mr Fitton’s interest in the Company will increase.
Specific Information Required under Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that an entity must not issue, or agree to issue, equity securities to a related party without the approval of its shareholders. For the purposes of the Act, a “related party” of the Company includes the Directors of the Company, and any entities that the Directors control.
For the purpose of section 228(5) of the Corporations Act, a person who has been a director of a public company at any time during the previous six months is a related party. For that reason Marvyn Fitton is a related party of the Company.
The Company therefore seeks Shareholder approval to issue Shares to Mr Fitton pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.
The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) The Shares the subject of this Resolution 3 will be issued to Marvyn Fitton.
-
(b) If this Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will issue to Marvyn Fitton an amount of Shares that will be determined by dividing $500,000 by the VWAP of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX in the 15 days prior to the date of issue. Due to the price of the Shares to be issued not being known at the date of this Notice, the maximum number of Shares which the Company proposes to issue to Mr Fitton under this Resolution 3 is not able to be calculated. The Shares will be issued on the same terms as, and rank pari passu with, the existing issued Shares of the Company and will be quoted on the ASX.
-
(c) All of the Shares will be issued to Marvyn Fitton not more than one month after the date of this Meeting (it is intended that they will be issued no later than 10 business days after the date of the Meeting).
-
(d) For the purpose of determining the number of Shares to be issued to Marvyn Fitton to convert his outstanding loan into equity, the issue price for the Shares has been fixed at the VWAP of the Shares traded on the ASX in the 15 days prior to the date of issue.
10
-
(e) No funds will be raised from the proposed issue of the Shares. The Shares are being issued in partial satisfaction and repayment of the principal of the Fitton Loan.
-
(f) An appropriate voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
An issue made with approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11 does not also require approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (by virtue of Exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2). Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities (which term includes shares) in any 12 month period which amount to more than 15% of its ordinary securities without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities. Equity securities issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 are not required to be included in the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Part 2E.1 of the Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” by a public company and entities controlled by the public company to related parties of the public company. By section 208(1) of the Act, the Company can only give a “financial benefit” to a “related party” of the Company if the Company obtains the approval of its Shareholders in accordance with the procedures set out in Part 2E.1 of the Act. For the purposes of the Act, a “related party” of the Company includes the Directors of the Company, and entities which they control.
The Act deems the issuing of securities to a related party to constitute the giving of a “financial benefit” to the related party.
Section 211 of the Act provides an exception to the need to obtain Shareholder approval where, inter alia, the financial benefit would be reasonable in the circumstances if the company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length or are less favourable to the related party than such terms. The Directors consider that the debtequity conversion in accordance with the proposed conversion formula, and consequential issue of the Shares, is being made on arms’ length terms. Nevertheless, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of Part 2E.1 of the Act.
In accordance with the requirements of Part 2E.1 of the Act, and in particular section 219, the following information is provided to allow Shareholders of the Company sufficient information to determine whether they should approve Resolution 3:
-
(a) The proposed financial benefit is to be given to Mr Fitton.
-
(b) The nature of the financial benefit is the issue to Mr Fitton of a number of Shares calculated by dividing $500,000 by the 15 day VWAP for the period immediately prior to the date of issue. The Shares are being issued in partial satisfaction and repayment of the Fitton Loan.
-
(c) Mr Fitton is no longer a Director of the Company and as such cannot make any recommendation to Shareholders about this Resolution. The current Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.
-
(d) Mr Fitton has an interest in the outcome of this Resolution.
-
(e) Save for the following information as to the value of the financial benefit which will be given to Mr Fitton if this Resolution is passed, the Directors of the Company are not aware of any other information (other than as set out elsewhere in this Explanatory Statement) 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 this Resolution:
-
(i) The Shares which will be issued to Mr Fitton if this Resolution is passed are listed on the ASX.
-
(ii) On the day immediately prior to the date of this Notice, the closing price of the Company’s Shares was $0.40.

5. RESOLUTION 4 - APPROVAL OF KIN MINING PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PLAN
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company's Performance Rights Plan for employees (including Directors) to be known as the "Kin Mining Performance Rights Plan" ( Plan or Performance Rights Plan ) for the purposes of the Listing Rules and all other purposes. Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 provides that Shareholders may approve in advance the issue of securities made under the Plan as an exception to the limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1. However, Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9 also requires that Shareholder approval must have been given within the three years prior to the date on which the relevant securities are issued. The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9.
The Board believes that the Plan is necessary in order to ensure that the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain key staff and to reward employees for their performance and loyalty to the Company. In addition, grants made to eligible employees under the Plan provide a powerful tool to underpin the Company’s employment strategy. The Plan also:
-
enables the Company to recruit and retain the talented people needed to achieve the Company’s business objectives;
-
links the reward of key staff with the achievements of strategic goals and the long term performance of the Company;
-
aligns the financial interest of employees with those of Shareholders; and
-
provides incentives to employees to strive to achieve performance markers that in turn creates Shareholder value.
Overview of the Plan
The Plan allows the Company to issue Performance Rights to eligible persons under the Plan. A Performance Right is a right to acquire one Share in the Company (subject to the determination by the Board that the relevant vesting conditions attaching to the Performance Right have been met). If the relevant vesting conditions are not met, then the Performance Right will lapse unless waived in whole or in part by the Board.
Performance Rights issued under the Plan do not confer an entitlement to attend or vote at general meetings of the Company.
The key features of the Plan are as follows:
-
enables the Company to recruit and retain the talented people needed to achieve the Company’s business objectives;
-
the Board will determine (in its sole discretion) the number of Performance Rights to be granted to eligible persons under the plan (or their nominees) and the performance milestones, vesting conditions (if any) and expiry date of such Performance Rights;
-
The Performance Rights are not transferable unless the Board determines otherwise or the transfer is required by law and provided that the transfer complies with the Corporations Act;
-
Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules and restrictions on reducing the rights of a holder of Performance Rights, the Board will have the power to amend the Plan as it sees fit.
A detailed overview of the terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 1. A copy of the Plan can be obtained by contacting the Company.
12
Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.2
In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) the following information is provided in relation to the Plan:
-
(a) The material terms of the Plan are summarised in Schedule 1.
-
(b) This is the first approval sought under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 with respect to the Plan.
-
(c) No Securities have been issued under the Plan.

(d) A voting exclusion statement has been included for the purposes of Resolution 4.
6. RESOLUTION 5 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DON HARPER
The Company proposes to grant up to 4,000,000 Performance Rights to the Managing Director, Mr Don Harper (or his nominee) as a short term incentive.
The Performance Rights will each convert into a Share for no consideration on exercise by Mr Harper once they have vested. The Performance Rights expire three years from the date of grant.
The Performance Rights will vest on satisfaction of the following vesting conditions.
Vesting conditions
The vesting of the Performance Rights are subject to the satisfaction of the following performance conditions.
The Board will have the unfettered and absolute right to determine and confirm whether vesting conditions have been met in respect of each and all tranches. In making its determination the Board will recognise the relevant tranche objective and have regard to gold production, cost management, business sustainability, safety, divestment and acquisition initiatives, as well as other proposals endorsed by the Board as part of its ongoing review of strategy.
| Tranche | Vesting conditions | Weighting |
|---|---|---|
| $100,0001 | Completion of Definitive Feasibility Study and Project Funding | 25% |
| $100,0001 | Capital Expenditure on the LGP is within 10% of budget | 25% |
| $100,0001 | First month of gold production exceeding 4,000 fine ounces output at LGP | 25% |
| $100,0001 | Steadystateproduction at design throughput of the LGP mill | 25% |
- 1) The number of Performance Rights to be granted is calculated by dividing each $100,000 tranche by the VWAP of the Company’s Shares over the 5 days on which trading in the Company’s Shares occurred leading up to and including the day prior to the vesting date. To give Shareholders a better understanding of the total potential number of Shares Mr Harper could receive, based on the VWAP of KIN’s shares of the 10 business days preceding the date within this notice, of $0.40, the maximum number of Performance Rights that KIN would grant Mr Harper would be 250,000 Performance Rights.
13
General terms and conditions applying to the vesting of all tranches of Performance Rights
The vesting of the Performance Rights are also subject to:
-
(a) Mr Harper remaining in the employment of the Company at the relevant vesting date unless otherwise agreed by the Board.
-
(b) Performance Rights in each tranche will be issued within one month following the vesting of each vesting condition.
-
(c) The Board has unfettered and absolute discretion in confirming if a particular vesting condition has been met.
-
(d) The Board will retain the unfettered and absolute discretion, on the specific recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, to approve vesting of Performance Rights where deemed appropriate. This is intended to cover the permanent disablement, incapacity or death of Mr Harper.
-
(e) Performance rights will vest on a Change of Control of the Company, subject to Mr Harper being in the employment of the Company at the time of the Change of Control.
-
(f) Performance Rights in relation to each tranche may be exercised at any time after the relevant vesting conditions are deemed to have been met up until the date being 3 years from the date of the Meeting.
The Company will disregard any votes cast on this Resolution 5 by Mr Harper (being a related party of the Company to whom this Resolution 5 would permit the financial benefit to be given) and his Associates (who are all prohibited from voting).

Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain Shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party. If shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the proposed issue will be included in 15% annual limit permitted by Listing Rule 7.1.

8. RESOLUTION 10 - APPROVAL FOR FUTURE ISSUE OF SHARES
General
Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 15,000,000 Shares. The capital raising will be undertaken via the issue of Shares to sophisticated and professional investors pursuant to section 708 of the Corporations Act.
The Company intends to use the funds from the capital raising towards ongoing exploration expenditure on the Company’s existing projects as well as the Leonora Gold Project and for additional working capital.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on commencement of that 12 month period.
The effect of Resolution 10 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares comprising the capital raising during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of Shares:
-
(a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 15,000,000;
-
(b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months 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 will occur progressively;
-
(c) the Shares will be issued at a price of at least 80% of the VWAP of the Company’s Shares as traded on ASX over the 5 day period on which sales in the Company’s Shares are recorded preceding the date of issue of the Shares or, if the Shares are offered pursuant to a prospectus, at least 80% of the average market price of the Company’s Shares as traded on the ASX over the 5 day period on which sales in the Company’s Shares are recorded preceding the date of issue;
-
(d) the issue of Shares will be made at the discretion of the Directors. It is intended that the allottees will be sophisticated and professional investors pursuant to section 708 of the Corporations Act.
-
(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) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the capital raising towards ongoing exploration expenditure on the Company’s existing projects including the Leonora Gold Project and for additional working capital.
9. RESOLUTION 11 - APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS TO TERRANCE GRAMMER
Pursuant to Resolution 11, the Company is seeking approval for the issue of 500,000 Bonus Shares and 1,000,000 Bonus Options to Mr Terrance Grammer, a former director, in consideration for his past services to the Company.
During his five and half years of service Mr Grammer supported the Company with his time, his resources and his perseverance. In his previous role as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company his experience and guidance to the advancement and support of the Managing Director in negotiations and financially assisting the business during difficult periods was integral to the growth and development of the Company. Without the support of Mr Grammer the Company may well have not reached its current level of recognition in the market. The Board have sought to recognise this support (often given without any promise of an eventual return) with the proposed Bonus Share and Option issue to Mr Grammer.
21
Requirement for shareholder approval
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.
Related party is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes directors of a company.
Financial benefit is defined broadly and includes benefits from the public company’s subsidiaries. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. The Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given be disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate.

22
Specific Information Required under the Corporations Act
In accordance with section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulations Guide 76, the following information is provided to allow Shareholders of the Company sufficient information to determine whether they should approve this Resolution 11:
-
(a) The proposed financial benefit is to be given to Mr Grammer.
-
(b) The nature of the financial benefit is the issue to Mr Grammer 1,000,000 Bonus Options and 500,000 Bonus Shares. The Bonus Shares and the Bonus Options will be issued for nil cash consideration.
-
(c) Mr Grammer currently holds 2,270,141 Shares (equal to approximately 1.40% of the Company’s issued share capital).
-
(d) The Company’s issued share capital will increase by 500,000 as a result of the issue of Bonus Shares but will not change as a result of the issue of Bonus Options to Mr Grammer. However, if all of Mr Grammer’s Bonus Options are exercised combined with the Bonus Shares, the Company’s issued capital will increase by 1,500,000 to 163,719,684.
-
(e) It is a requirement of ASIC that a dollar value be placed on the Bonus Shares and the Bonus Options to be issued. As at the date of this Notice Kin Shares were trading at $0.33. Accordingly, the 500,000 Bonus Shares are valued at $165,000.
-
(f) The Company has engaged Catalyst Corporate to value the Bonus Options.
ASIC has indicated that the Black Scholes option price calculation method is acceptable where the Bonus Options cannot be readily valued by some other means. A range of values for the Bonus Options has been provided by Catalyst Corporate using the Black Scholes method.
In valuing the Bonus Options using the Black Scholes method Catalyst Corporate adopted the following key assumptions:
| Assumptions | Value |
|---|---|
| Stock assetprice | $0.355 |
| Option strikeprices | $0.75, |
| Term | 3years |
| Volatilitybased on 1yearprice history | 102 % |
| Risk free interest rate based on a 5 year Australian Bondyieldper Bloomberg |
1.96% |
Catalyst Corporate have valued the Bonus Options with an exercise of $0.75 at $0.1133. Catalyst Corporate has discounted the value of the Bonus Options by 30% due to the non-transferability of the Bonus Options.
Therefore, the implied “value” being received by Mr Grammer through the issue of the Bonus Options is $113,300.
-
(g) Mr Grammer has an interest in the outcome of this Resolution 11.
-
(h) Save for the information as to the value of the financial benefit which will be given to Mr Grammer if this Resolution 11 is passed, the Directors of the Company are not aware of any other information (other than as set out elsewhere in this Explanatory Statement) 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 this Resolution 11.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.
23
The Company will disregard any votes cast on this Resolution 11 by Mr Grammer (being a related party of the Company to whom this Resolution 11 would permit the financial benefit to be given) and his Associates (who are all prohibited from voting).
10. APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS – MARVYN (FRITZ) FITTON - RESOLUTION 12
Pursuant to Resolution 12, the Company is seeking approval for issue 500,000 Bonus Shares and 1,000,000 Bonus Options to Mr Marvyn Fitton, a former director, in consideration for his past services to the Company.
During his five and half years of service Mr Fitton supported the Company with his time, his resources and his perseverance. In his previous role as Technical Director of the Company his experience and guidance to the advancement of the projects, including his knowledge of the Eastern Goldfields Geology, was integral to the growth and development of the Company. Without the support of Mr Fitton the Company may well have not reached its current level of recognition in the market and the current Board of Directors have sought to recognise this support (often given without any promise of an eventual return), with this Bonus Share and Option issue.
Requirement for shareholder approval
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.
Related party is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes directors of a company.
Financial benefit is defined broadly and includes benefits from the public company’s subsidiaries. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. The Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given be disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate.
Mr Fitton was a director of the Company in the last six months, and therefore is a related party of the Company, and the issue of the Securities to him or his nominees constitutes the provision of a financial benefit for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain Shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party. If shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the proposed issue will be included in 15% annual limit permitted by Listing Rule 7.1.

14. RESOLUTION 13 - RATIFICATION OF SHARE ISSUE FOR ACQUISITION OF TENEMENTS
On 21 June 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into a Letter Agreement to purchase a 11% interest in four tenements forming part of the Leonora Gold Project from Jindalee Resources Ltd ( Letter Agreement ). The purchase price for the purchase was settled with the issue of 1,000,000 Shares which have been issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 13 seeks ratification by Shareholders for the issue of 1,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Letter Agreement. The 7.1 Shares were issued without Shareholder approval. Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 of the Shares issued.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities if, when aggregated with other issues or agreements to issue equity securities over the previous 12 month period and not subject to an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the number of equity securities to be issued or agreed to be issued exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities of the company on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 it is possible for shareholders to approve an issue of securities which has already taken place, with the effect that the approved issued will be exempt from being counted towards the portion of the 15% limit that has been used. That is, if Resolution 13 is approved, the Shares will not be included in the Company’s 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, Shareholders are advised of the following particulars in relation to the issue of 7.1 Shares pursuant to Resolution 13.
(a) Number of securities allotted and issued
1,000,000 Shares were issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Shares were issued on 27 June 2017.
(c) Price at which securities were allotted and issued
$0.33 per Share.
(d) The terms of the securities
The Shares are ordinary fully paid shares which rank equally with existing Shares on issue.
(e) The basis on which allottees were determined
The Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors none of which are related parties of the Company. The Company issued the shares as consideration for the purchase of an interest in tenements.
26
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 13 as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders ratify the issue of the 1,000,000 Shares, they will be exempt from being counted towards the portion of the 15% limit that has been used.
