- (b) the conduct of the audit;
- (c) accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements; and
- (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
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 Directors or 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.
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 two 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 reelection 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.
Previous voting results
At the Company's previous annual general meeting, less than 25% of votes were cast against the remuneration report. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
Proxy restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for Resolution 1 should note the following:
(a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) as your proxy
If you elect to appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of that member, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
(b) If you appoint the Chair as your proxy
If you elect to appoint the Chair where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remunerations details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member, you must direct the Chair how they are to vote. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will be voted in favour of all Resolutions.
(c) If you appoint any other person as your proxy
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote, and you do not need to tick any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will be voted at their discretion.
RESOLUTION 2: ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – DR WALKER LI
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director elected since the last annual general meeting of a company must retire and seek election at the next annual general meeting of the company.
Clause 36.2 of the Company's Constitution also requires that any Director appointed since the last annual general meeting retire and seek election at the next annual general meeting.
Dr Li was appointed to the Board on 20 September 2018. As the appointment was after the last annual general meeting, Dr Li is required to retire and seek election at the Meeting.
Information about Dr Li is set out in the Company's 2018 Annual Report.
RESOLUTION 3: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR WILSON XUE
Clause 38.1 of the Company's Constitution requires that one-third of the Directors, excluding any Director appointed since the last annual general meeting, retire and seek election at each annual general meeting. If the number of Directors is not a multiple of three then the greater of one or the number nearest to but not exceeding one-third must seek re-election.
Information about Mr Xue is set out in the Company's 2018 Annual Report.
RESOLUTION 4: RATIFICATION OF PREVIOUS ISSUE OF SECURITIES
On 2 October 2018 the Company announced it had finalised a placement and issued 15,894,128 fully paid ordinary shares to Walkerindo Nusatama Mandiri, PT at an issue price of $0.03 per share.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that, where the holders of ordinary shares in a company ratify the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) those securities will be treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.4, by ratifying the issue of the Placement Shares, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Shares in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
- a) Number of securities issued:
- a. 9,536,477 fully paid ordinary Shares under listing rule 7.1; and
- b. 6,357,651 fully paid ordinary Shares under listing rule 7.1A.
- b) Issue price of securities: The Shares were issued for $0.03 per Share.
- c) Allottees of the securities: Walkerindo Nusatama Mandiri, PT
- d) Terms of securities: The Shares, when issued, ranked equally with all other Shares on issue at the time and had the same rights and entitlements as the currently issued Shares.
- e) Use of the funds: The funds raised were used for working capital.
RESOLUTION 5: APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting (10% Placement Capacity).
The Company is an Eligible Entity.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity 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 below).
The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company's fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period 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.
Resolution 5 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 5 for it to be passed.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A 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.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
- (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
- (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300 million.
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 approximately $3.18 million.
Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code PGY).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
| (A x B) – C | |
|---|---|
| ------------- | -- |
Where:
- A is 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; and
- (iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
- B is 10%.
- C is 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 Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
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 5:
(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 five ASX trading days of the date above, 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 Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
- (i) 12 months after the date of this 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).
(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 5 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 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.
| Variable 'A' in | Dilution | ||||

| Funds Raised | $158,941 | $317,882 | $635,765 |
* 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 pro-rata 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:
- (a) The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 27 December 2018.
- (b) No options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
- (c) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. That is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
- (d) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 27 December 2018.
- (e) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
- (f) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.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.
- (g) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
- (h) 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.
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
- (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company may use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company's current assets and general working capital; or
- (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments in which circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company's allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity 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 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 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).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A on 28 February 2018. The Company has issued 6,357,651 Equity Securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting.
As the Company has previously sought shareholder approval for the additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, the following information is provided in relation to all issues of equity securities in the 12 months prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, pursuant to the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3A6(a) and 7.3A6(b):
A total of 15,894,128 ordinary shares have been issued representing 25% of the equity securities on issue at the commencement of the 12-month period preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting.
