EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors' report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor's report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company's annual financial report is available on its website at www.peelmining.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

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 company or 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 annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company's annual financial report for the most recent financial year) 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 of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – GRAHAM HARDIE

3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Graham Hardie, who has served as a Director since 24 February 2010 and was last re-elected on 29 November 2019, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Graham Hardie is the principal of Hardie Finance Corporation, a private Perth based property development company, and is also the principal of Entertainment Enterprises, a private Perth-based hospitality company. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, and a former partner in a leading Chartered Accountancy 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.

3.3 Independence

If re-elected the Board considers Graham Hardie will be an independent Director.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Graham Hardie's performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Hardie's skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board's ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Hardie and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

4.1 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.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% (7.1A Mandate).

An 'eligible entity' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $100,343,462 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 5 October 2021).

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

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 under 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.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
  • (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b) Minimum price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that 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 entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 4.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for exploration and advancement towards development of its 100% owned its copper focused South Cobar Project. The South Cobar Project is located in Central NSW and contains the Mallee Bull, Wirlong, Wagga Tank, Southern Nights and Mayday Projects.

(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, 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 Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 5 October 2021.

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 7.1A Mandate.

*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. There are currently 418,097,757 Shares on issue.
    1. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 5 October 2021 (being $0.240).
    1. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
    1. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
    1. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. 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.
    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 Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
    1. 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%.
    1. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

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 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.

(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients 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 recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, 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, share purchase plan, placement 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 circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and
  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 26 November 2020 (Previous Approval).

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 29 November 2020, the Company issued 34,164,381 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval (Previous Issue), which represent approximately 9.67% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 29 November 2020, which was 353,256,314.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.2 during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out below.

The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6(b) in respect of the Previous Issue:

Notes:

    1. Market Price means the closing price of Shares on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.

  1. This is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

4.3 Voting Exclusion Statement

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.

5. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5

5.1 Overview of the Placement

As announced on 10 March 2021, the Company received firm commitments from institutional, professional and sophisticated investors to raise approximately $18.55 million (before costs) through the issue of 70,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.265 per Share (Placement).

The funds raised under the Placement are intended to be used to fund the completion of resource drilling and estimation at Wirlong, Mallee Bull and Southern Nights to primarily indicated classification, the completion of scoping and prefeasibility studies on the copper-focused South Cobar Project, completion of an environmental impact study for the project, the costs of the capital raising and for ongoing working capital.

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of Shares under the Placement.

Further details in respect of the Placement are set out in the ASX announcement released on 10 March 2021.

5.2 Lead Manager

The Company engaged the services of Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (ACN 075 071 466), Euroz Hartleys Securities Limited (ACN 089 314 983) and Acova Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 626 676 060) as the joint lead managers to the Placement (Joint Lead Managers).

The Company agreed to pay the Joint Lead Managers, in aggregate, a management fee of $371,000 (being, 2% of the amount raised under the Placement) and a capital raising fee of $ 556,500 (being, 3% of the amount raised under the Placement) in consideration for services provided.

6. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER THE PLACEMENT PURSUANT TO LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

6.1 General

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 70,000,000 Shares under the Placement (Placement Shares).

35,835,619 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 4) and 34,164,381 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 26 November 2020.

6.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

As summarised in Section 4.1 above, 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 12 month 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%.

The Company's ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 3 being passed by the requisite majority at this Meeting.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

6.3 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

It is noted that the Company's ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 3 being passed at this Meeting.

6.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 4 and 5:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of the Joint Lead Managers (Placement Participants). The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Joint Lead Managers seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from nonrelated parties of the Company. In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the Placement Participants were:
    • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company's Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
    • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

8. RESOLUTIONS 7 AND 8 – ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS

8.1 General

Resolutions 7 and 8 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of 1,300,000 Performance Rights to Rob Tyson and James Simpson (together, the Related Parties) or their respective nominees) pursuant to the Performance Rights and Option Plan (Plan).

8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than the Related Parties) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Performance Rights, because the issue of Performance Rights constitutes reasonable remuneration payable to the Related Parties.

8.3 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.14.1 a director of the entity;
  • 10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or
  • 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

The issue of the Performance Rights falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

8.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 7 and 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties under the Plan within three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 7 and 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties under the Plan.

8.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 7 and 8:

  • (a) the Performance Rights will be issued to the Related Parties, each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being a Director;
  • (b) the maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued to the Related Parties(being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 1,300,000 Performance Rights as set out in the table below:

Rob Tyson 7 200,000 200,000 400,000
James Simpson 8 125,000 125,000 250,000
  • (c) since adoption of the Plan on 28 November 2019, the Company has previously issued:

    • (i) 1,700,000 Performance Rights to the nominee of Mr Rob Tyson, which were issued on 23 December 2020 for nil cash consideration; and
    • (ii) 1,000,000 Performance Rights to the nominee of Mr James Simpson, which were issued on 23 December 2020 for nil cash consideration;
  • (d) a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Performance Rights is set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Company has chosen to issue Performance Rights to the Related Parties for the following reasons:

    • (i) the milestones attaching to the Performance Rights will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;
  • (ii) the issue of the Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Performance Rights on the terms proposed;

  • (f) the total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:

(iii) Class F Performance Rights

The Class F Performance Rights will be subject to a hurdle based on the Company's Total Shareholder Return (TSR), which will be calculated as follows:

However, if the 20 Day VWAP (as calculated at any stage between the date of the Meeting and 31 December 2023 exceeds 200% of the Initial VWAP, the performance hurdle will be deemed to have been met and 100% of the Class F Performance Rights will vest.

(each a Milestone).

  • (b) Notification to holder: The Company shall notify the holder in writing when the relevant Milestone has been satisfied.

  • (c) Conversion: Subject to paragraph (n), upon vesting, each Performance Right will, at the election of the holder, convert into one Share.

  • (d) Expiry Date: Each Performance Right shall otherwise expire 30 months from the date of issue (Expiry Date). All unconverted Performance Rights of the relevant class will automatically lapse at that time.

  • (e) Consideration: The Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares.

  • (f) Share ranking: All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.

  • (g) Application to ASX: The Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a Performance Right on ASX within the time period required by the Listing Rules.

  • (h) Timing of issue of Shares on Conversion: Within five Business Days after date that the Performance Rights are converted, the Company will:

    • (i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Performance Rights converted;
    • (ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and
    • (iii) if admitted to the Official List of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the Performance Rights.

If a notice delivered under paragraph (h)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

  • (i) Transfer of Performance Rights: Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, and except as otherwise provided for by an offer, Performance Rights are only transferrable in Special Circumstances (as defined in the Plan) with the prior written consent of the Board (which may be withheld in its absolute discretion) or by force of law upon death, to the relevant holder's legal personal representative or upon bankruptcy to the holder's trustee in bankruptcy.

  • (j) Participation in new issues: A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues without exercising the Performance Right.

  • (k) Reorganisation of capital: If, at any time, the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.

  • (l) Dividend and voting rights: The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.

      • (B) having been declared unconditional by the bidder; or
    • (ii) a Court granting orders approving a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme of arrangement for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies,

that number of Performance Rights that is equal to not more than 10% of the Shares on issue immediately following conversion under this paragraph will convert into an equivalent number of Shares. The conversion will be completed on a pro rata basis across each class of Performance Rights then on issue as well as on a pro rata basis for each holder. Performance Rights that are not converted into Shares under this paragraph will continue to be held by the holders on the same terms and conditions.

  • (n) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares: If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraph (c) or (m) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act (General Prohibition) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

    • (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and
    • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (n)(i) within seven (7) days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.
  • (o) No rights to return of capital: A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

  • (p) Rights on winding up: A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

  • (q) No other rights: A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

  • (r) Deferred Taxation: Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies to the Performance Rights.

  • (s) Plan: The terms of the Performance Rights are supplemented by the terms of the Company's Incentive Performance Rights and Option Plan.

(l) No Participation Rights

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Awards and Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Awards without exercising the Award.

(m) Change in exercise price of number of underlying securities

An Award does not confer the right to a change in exercise price or in the number of underlying Shares over which the Award can be exercised.

If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that individual or body corporate in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

DEFAULT TO CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote those proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chairman of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of KMP.

VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid. SAMPLE

APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Company's share registry or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and

(b) return both forms together.
