-
appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post, by email or by facsimile.
Voting in person (or by attorney)
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded.

The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.
Voting by proxy
-
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.
-
The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).
-
A proxy need not be a Shareholder.
-
The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
-
If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.

the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.
-
Shareholders who return their Proxy Forms with a direction how to vote, but who do not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.
-
To be effective, proxies must be received by 2.00pm (AWST time) on 28 November 2015. Proxies received after this time will be invalid.
-
Proxies may be lodged by returning a completed Proxy Form in one one of the following methods:

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Company.
Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Memorandum. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Memorandum.
FINANCIAL REPORTS
The first item of the Notice deals with the presentation of the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2015, together with the Directors' declaration and report in relation to that financial year and the Auditor's Report on the financial report. 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 management of the Company.
The Chair will also give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor or the Auditor’s representative questions relevant to:
-
(a) the conduct of the audit;
-
(b) the preparation and content of the independent audit report;
-
(c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and
-
(d) the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
The Chair will also allow a reasonable opportunity for the Auditor or their representative to answer any written questions submitted to the Auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act.
RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2015 Annual Report be adopted. The Remuneration Report will be set out in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report, and will also be available on the Company’s website (www.peelmining.com.au).
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second Annual General Meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the applicable Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.
5
The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last general meeting held on 28 November 2014. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.
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 equity based compensation.
The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
Voting
Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. In particular, the Directors and other Restricted Voters may not vote on this Resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise your proxy, even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel. The Chair intends to use any such proxies to vote in favour of the Resolution.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.
RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR GRAHAM HARDIE AS A DIRECTOR
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 year, whichever is the longer.
Clause 13.2 of the Constitution provides that:
-
(a) at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election;
-
(b) The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are 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 shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots;
-
(c) A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for reelection; and
-
(d) In determining the number of Directors to retire, no account is to be taken of:
-
(i) a Director who only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to clause 13.4 of the Constitution; and/ or
-
(ii) a Managing Director,
-
each of whom are exempt from retirement by rotation. However, if more than one Managing Director has been appointed by the Directors, only one of them (nominated by the Directors) is entitled to be excluded from any determination of the number of Directors to retire and/or retirement by rotation.
The Company currently has 3 Directors and accordingly 1 must retire.
Mr Graham Hardie, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.
6
Mr Hardie in the Company’s non-executive director role, and was appointed to the Board on 24 February 2010. Due to Mr Hardie’s significant shareholding in the Company, the Board does not consider Mr Hardie to be an independent director.
Mr Hardie is the principal of Hardie Finance Corporation, a private Perth-based property development company and is alos the principal of Entertainment Enterprises, a priate Perth-based hospitality company. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and a former partner in a leading Chartered Accounting firm. He has extensive commercial and financial experience and has held board positions on a number of public companies in the mining, media, transport and retail industries. The Board (in the absence of Mr Hardie) supports the reelection of Mr Hardie.
The Board has considered Mr Hardie’s independence and considers that he is not an independent Director.
The Board supports the re-election of Mr Hardie pursuant to Resolution 2.
RESOLUTIONS 3 & 4 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MR SIMON HADFIELD & MR GRAHAM HARDIE
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 500,000 Options (Related Party Options) to each of Messrs Simon Hadfield and Graham Hardie (Related Parties) (or their respective nominees) on the terms and conditions set out below. Resolutions 3 & 4 seek Shareholder approval for the grant of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties (or or their respective nominees).
The Board has determined the exercise price of the Options with regard to the market value of the Company’s Shares at the time of issue of the Options, and considers 35% above the Company’s Share Price the Trading Day before they are issued, to be a suitable premium to meet the objectives of the proposed issue of the Options as outlined above.
Related party transactions generally
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Mr Hadfield and Mr Hardie are related parties of the Company.
The Directors (other than the Director to whom Options are proposed to be issued, and who would have a material personal interest in Resolutions 3 & 4, as applicable) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Options because the Directors (other than the Director to whom Options are to be issued) consider that the issue of the Related Party Options to each of the other Directors constitutes reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.
Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.13
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the grant of the Related Party Options involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 & 4:
7
-
(a) the Related Party Options will be issued to Related Parties (or their nominee(s));
-
(b) the number of Related Party Options to be issued is 1,000,000 Options, being 500,000 Options to each of the Related Parties;
-
(c) the Related Party Options will be granted no later than 1 month 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 allotment will occur on the same date;
-
(d) the Related Party Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised; and
-
(e) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Annexure A..
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Related Party Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties (or their respective nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Voting
Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 3 & 4 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. In particular, the Directors and other Restricted Voters may not vote on this Resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise your proxy, even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel. The Chair intends to use any such proxies to vote in favour of the Resolutions.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on these Resolutions.
