Explanatory Memorandum

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum is provided to Shareholders of Platina Resources Limited ABN 25 119 007 939 (Company) to explain the resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held at 10.30 am (Brisbane time) on Friday, 28 April 2017 at the offices of HopgoodGanim, Level 7, Waterfront Place, 1 Eagle Street, Brisbane Qld 4000.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. Terms used in this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Section 7 “Interpretation”.

1. Resolution One – Re-Election of Chris Hartley as a Director

Dr Chris Hartley retires at the Meeting in accordance with rule 13.4 of the Company’s Constitution and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.

Dr Hartley’s qualifications and experience

As announced on 3 January 2017, Dr Hartley was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company on 1 January 2017.

Dr Hartley worked with Bloom Energy as Technical Director Strategic Materials for five years and prior to that, held roles with BHP Billiton and its predecessor Billiton International as well as working as an independent consultant. His roles have been based in the UK, the Netherlands, India, USA and Australia.

The ASX Corporate Governance Council (Recommendation 2.1) defines independence as being free from any interest, position, association or relationship that could materially influence– or could reasonably be perceived to materially influence– the director’s capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the board and to act in the best interests of the entity and its security holders generally.

In the context of Director independence, “materiality” is considered from both the Company’s and the individual director’s perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount.

Qualitative factors considered included whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the Group.

In accordance with the Council’s definition of independence above and the materiality thresholds set, the Directors consider Dr Hartley to be independent.

Directors’ Recommendations

The Directors (with Dr Hartley abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.

2. Resolutions Two and Three - Ratification of Previous Issue of the Placement A Shares and Placement B Shares

2.1 Introduction

On 17 March 2017, the Company issued a total of 52,825,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.135 per Share by way of a private placement to sophisticated investors ( Placement ) to raise $7,131,375. The Placement Shares were issued as follows:

  • (a) 21,130,123 Placement A Shares were issued on 17 March 2017 raising a total of $2,852,567 and are the subject of Resolution Two;

  • (b) 31,694,877 Placement B Shares were issued on 17 March 2017 raising a total of $4,278,808 and are the subject of Resolution Three.

Resolution Two and Resolution Three seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement A Shares and the Placement B Shares respectively, which together comprise the Placement.

2.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

Under Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules, there are limitations on the capacity of a company to enlarge its capital by the issue of equity securities. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 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 issue at the commencement of that 12 month period without shareholder approval.

The Company issued the Placement Shares in reliance on its capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. In general terms, Listing Rule 7.1A restricts the Company to issuing securities representing a maximum of 10% of the number of securities on issue in the Company in any 12 month period unless it obtains the prior approval of its members.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. ASX Listing Rule 7.5 sets out the information that must be included in the notice of meeting for such deeming to occur.

Approval is sought under Resolution Two to allow the Company to ratify the issue and allotment of 21,130,123 Placement A Shares issued in the Placement not previously approved by Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution Two is approved, it will have the effect of refreshing the Company’s ability, to the extent of the Placement A Shares, to issue further Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval (subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act). If Resolution Two is not passed, the Placement A Shares will be counted toward the 10% limit pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.

Approval is sought under Resolution Three to allow the Company to ratify the issue and allotment of 31,694,877 Placement B Shares issued in the Placement not previously approved by Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution Three is approved, it will have the effect of refreshing the Company’s ability, to the extent of the Placement B Shares, to issue further Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval (subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act). If Resolution Three is not passed, the Placement B Shares will be counted toward the 15% limit pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.

The following information is provided in relation to Resolutions Two and Three to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval of the issue of the Placement A Shares and the Placement B Shares under the Placement pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) 52,825,000 Shares were issued on 17 March 2017 on the following basis:

  • (i) 21,130,123 Placement A Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

Platina Resources Limited Notice of GM

Page 7 of 23

  • (ii) 31,694,877 Placement B Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (b) the Placement Shares were allotted for consideration of $0.135 per Share;

  • (c) the issued Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and in the capital of the Company and rank equally with the existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the allottees of the Placement Shares were subscribers to the Placement who are exempt from the disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act. None of the allottees were related parties of the Company at the time of the Placement; and

  • (e) the funds raised from this issue will be used for operational activities at the Company’s Owendale Scandium, Cobalt, Nickel and Platinum project in central New South Wales, including the completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and completing a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) by the end of 2017, as well as for working capital and the costs of the issue.

2.3 Director’s Recommendation

None of the Directors have a personal interest in the subject matter of Resolutions Two and Three. The Board believes that the Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares pursuant to the Placement is beneficial for the Company. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions Two and Three as it refreshes the Company’s capacity to issue further securities representing up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval and up to the 10% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

3. Resolutions Four, Five and Six – Issue of options to Related parties

3.1 Introduction

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 11,000,000 options ( Management Options ) to Messrs Moller, Mosig, Hartley and Jurman as Directors and Officers of the Company (collectively the Key Management Personnel ).

The following are the Management Options to be issued to related parties of the Company:

Director Position Options
Mr B Moller Chairman 2,000,000
Mr R Mosig Managing Director 6,000,000
Dr C Hartley Non-executive Director 2,000,000
Total 10,000,000

Resolutions 4 to 6 seek Shareholder approval for the grant of 10,000,000 Management Options to Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley ( Related Parties ). The Management Options will have an exercise price of $0.20 and an expiry date of 31 December 2019. The Options will vest in the event that the Company’s Shares trade at a daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) of at least $0.25 per Share for a period of at least 10 trading days. Detailed terms and conditions of the Management Options are set out below.

The purpose of the issue of the Management Options is to provide the Key Management Personnel an incentive for future services. The issue of options as part of the remuneration packages of Directors and officers is an established practice of junior public listed companies and, in the case of the Company, has the benefit of conserving cash whilst properly rewarding each of the Key Management Personnel.

Whilst the directors to whom the Management Options are to be issued do not make a recommendation in relation to the Resolution in which they have a material personal interest, they believe that the quantum of Management Options together with the cash fees to which the Key Management Personnel are entitled are

Platina Resources Limited Notice of GM

Page 8 of 23

reasonable, given the size and complexity of the Company’s activities and also by comparison to other similar sized junior explorers.

3.2 Management Option Terms

A summary of the material terms of the Management Options is set out below:

  • The securities to be issued to Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley (each an Option holder and together the Option holders ) are options to subscribe for Shares.

  • The Management Options are to be issued for no consideration.

  • The exercise price of each Management Option is $0.20 ( Exercise Price ).

  • The Management Options will expire and be forfeited (if the Management Options have not already been forfeited) on the earlier of ( Expiry Date ):

  • (a) 31 December 2019; or

  • (b) the date being 3 months after the relevant Director or officer ceases to be a Director or officer of the Company, except where the cessation of office is in connection with a Takeover Offer or under a scheme of arrangement.

  • The Management Options will vest in the event that the Company’s Shares trade at a daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) of at least $0.25 per Share for a period of at least 10 trading days ( Vesting Condition ). The Management Options will only vest if the Vesting Condition has been satisfied or has been waived by the Board.

  • Shares issued on exercise of the Management Options will rank pari passu with all existing Shares from the date of issue.

  • The Management Options may be exercised wholly or in part by notice in writing to the Company received at any time on or before the Expiry Date together with a cheque for the Exercise Price of the Management Option multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which Options are being exercised.

  • The Management Options shall be unlisted but shall be transferable.

  • Upon allotment of Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Management Options, the Company shall use its best endeavours to have such Shares quoted and listed on the Official List of the ASX.

  • Option holders do not have any right to participate in new issues of securities in the Company made to Shareholders generally. The Company will, where required pursuant to the Listing Rules, provide Option holders with notice prior to the books record date (to determine entitlements to any new issue of securities made to Shareholders generally) to exercise the Options, in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

  • Option holders do not participate in dividends or in bonus issues unless the Management Options are exercised and the resultant shares of the Company are issued prior to the record date to determine entitlements to the dividend or bonus issue.

  • In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company:

  • (a) the number of Management Options, the exercise price, or both will be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules, but with the intention that such reconstruction will not result in any benefits being conferred on the Option holder which are not conferred on Shareholders; and

  • (b) subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by a meeting of Shareholders of the Company approving a reconstruction of capital, in all other respects the terms for

Platina Resources Limited Notice of GM

Page 9 of 23

the exercise of the Management Options will remain unchanged.

  • If there is a bonus issue to Shareholders, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Option holder would have received if the Management Options had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • If, during the life of any Option, there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue), the Exercise Price of an Option may be reduced according to the following formula:

O[1] = O - E [P - (S + D)]

N + 1

where

  • O[1] = the new exercise price of the Option

  • O = the old exercise price of the Option

  • E = the number of underlying securities into which one Option is exercisable

  • P = the average market price per security (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying securities during the five (5) trading days ending on the day before the ex right date or the ex entitlements date

  • S = the subscription price for a security under the pro-rata issue

  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on existing underlying securities (except those to be issued under the pro-rata issue)

  • N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security

  • The terms of the Management Options shall only be changed if Shareholders (whose votes are not to be disregarded) approve of such a change. However, the terms of the Management Options shall not be changed to reduce the Exercise Price, increase the number of Management Options or change any period for exercise of the Management Options.

  • The Board may in its absolute discretion determine that all or a portion of the unvested Management Options automatically vest and are automatically exercised on the occurrence of a change of control (as further defined below).

Change of Control means:

  • (a) a Takeover Bid is made to acquire all Shares, a person obtains a Voting Power in the Company of more than 50%, and the Takeover Bid is or has become unconditional;

  • (b) a Court has sanctioned a compromise or arrangement (other than for the purpose of, or in connection with, a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other entity or entities);

  • (c) a selective buy-back or capital reduction is announced in respect of the Company which would result in a person who previously had Voting Power of less than 50% in the Company obtaining Voting Power of more than 50%; or

  • (d) a person otherwise lawfully acquires a Voting Power in the Company of more than 50%.

For the purposes of the terms of the Options, “associate” and “relevant interest” have the meaning given to those terms in the Corporations Act.

3.3 Regulatory Requirements

Platina Resources Limited Notice of GM

Page 10 of 23

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of that public company unless the benefit falls within one of the various exceptions to the general prohibition. One of the exceptions includes where the company first obtains the approval of its shareholders in general meeting in circumstances where the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in relation to the convening of that meeting have been met.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is defined widely and includes a director of a public company.

A “financial benefit” for the purposes of the Corporations Act has a very wide meaning. It includes the public company paying money or issuing securities to the related party. In determining whether or not a financial benefit is being given, it is necessary to look to the economic and commercial substance and effect of what the public company is doing (rather than just the legal form). Any consideration which is given for the financial benefit is to be disregarded, even if it is full or adequate.

The proposed resolutions, if passed, will confer financial benefits to Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley, or their respective nominees, and the Company seeks to obtain Shareholder approval in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, and for this reason and for all other purposes the following information is provided to Shareholders.

(a) The related party to whom Resolutions Four, Five and Six would permit the financial benefit to be given

Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley, being Directors of the Company (or their nominees) are the related parties to whom Resolutions Four, Five and Six would permit the financial benefit to be given.

(b) The nature of the financial benefit

The nature of the proposed financial benefit to be given is:

  • The issue of 2,000,000 Management Options to Mr Moller, 6,000,000 Management Options to Mr Mosig and 2,000,000 Management Options to Dr Hartley, or their respective nominees, as referred to in Resolutions Four, Five and Six respectively (further details of which are set out above);

  • The Management Options shall be issued for no cash consideration; and

  • The Management Options will have an exercise price of $0.20 and an expiry date of 31 December 2019. The Options will vest in the event that the Company’s Shares trade at a daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) of at least $0.25 per Share for a period of at least 10 trading days.

(c) Directors’ recommendation

With respect to Resolution Four, Mr Mosig and Dr Hartley recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. As Mr Moller is interested in the outcome of Resolution Four, he accordingly makes no recommendation to Shareholders in respect of this Resolution.

With respect to Resolution Five, Mr Moller and Dr Hartley recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. As Mr Mosig is interested in the outcome of Resolution Five, he accordingly makes no recommendation to Shareholders in respect of this Resolution.

With respect to Resolution Six, Mr Moller and Mr Mosig recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. As Dr Hartley is interested in the outcome of Resolution Six, he accordingly makes no recommendation to Shareholders in respect of this Resolution.

Platina Resources Limited Notice of GM

Page 11 of 23

The reasons for the above recommendations include:

  • (i) the issue of the Management Options will provide the Directors with reward and incentive for future services they will provide to the Company to further the progress of the Company;

  • (ii) the Management Options are not intended as a substitute for salary or wages or as a means for compensation for past services rendered;

  • (iii) in the Company’s circumstances as they existed as at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors considered that the incentive provided a cost-effective and efficient incentive as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (e.g. cash bonuses, increased remuneration). However, it must be recognised that there will be an opportunity cost to the Company, being the price at which the Company could issue the Management Options to a third party. It should be noted however that the Vesting Condition that will trigger the vesting of the Management Options is an increase in the Company’s current Share price; and

  • (iv) The exercise of the Management Options will provide working capital for the Company. If all of the Management Options proposed to be issued to Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley are ultimately exercised, based on an exercise price of $0.20, an amount of $2,000,000 would be raised.

Notes:

2. Assuming each of Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley or their nominees exercise all of their Options.

There are currently no other options to subscribe for Shares on issue.

(e) Valuation

The Management Options are not currently quoted on the ASX and as such have no market value. The Management Options each grant the holder a right to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of each Option and payment of the Exercise Price. Accordingly, the Management Options may have a present value at the date of their exercise.

The Management Options may acquire future value dependent upon the extent to which the Shares exceed the exercise price of the Management Options during the term of the Management Options.

As a general proposition, options to subscribe for ordinary fully paid shares in a company have value. Various factors impact upon the value of options including things such as:

  • the period outstanding before the expiry date of the options;

  • the exercise price of the options relative to the underlying price or value of the securities into which they may be converted;

  • the proportion of the issued capital as expanded consequent upon exercise represented by the shares issued upon exercise (i.e. whether or not the shares that might be acquired upon exercise of the options represent a controlling or other significant interest);

  • the value of the shares into which the options may be converted; and

  • whether or not the options are listed (i.e. readily capable of being liquidated).

There are various formulae which can be applied to determining the theoretical value of options (including the formula known as the Black-Scholes Model option valuation formula).

Platina Resources Limited Notice of GM

Page 13 of 23

Stantons International Securities Pty Ltd (Stantons) has estimated the value of the Management Options as at 14 March 2017 using the Black-Scholes Model, which is the most widely used and recognised model for pricing options. The value of an option calculated by the Black-Scholes Model is a function of the relationship between a number of variables, being the Share price, the exercise price, the time to expiry, the risk-free interest rate and the volatility of the Company’s underlying Share price.

Inherent in the application of the Black-Scholes Model are a number of inputs, some of which must be assumed. The data relied upon by Stantons in applying the Black-Scholes Model included:

  • The exercise price of the Management Options being $0.20 per option;

  • The Share price as at 14 March 2017 was $0.145 per Share (this valuation being made for the purpose of inclusion in this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum, and so the options will need to be re-valued on their grant date i.e. the date of the Meeting);

  • The barrier price, which is the price which must be achieved before the Management Options vest into ordinary shares, is $0.25 per Share. The terms of the Management Options specify that this barrier price must be achieved for at least 10 business days. The binomial option valuation model used assumes the Management Options vest when the share price hits the barrier price of $0.25 ( Vesting Date );

  • The Management Options will be issued for no consideration;

  • The Expiry Date being 31 December 2019;

  • A risk-free rate used for the purposes of the analysis is the three year Australian Government bond rate as at 13 March 2017 being 2.08%; and

  • A nil dividend yield.

On that basis, Stantons have valued the 11,000,000 options as follows:

Volatility Value for one option (after discounting due to
market based vesting condition) (cents)
80% 3.034
90% 3.450
100% 3.843
  • (f) Any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors

There is no other information known to the Company or any of its Directors that is reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision with respect to the Resolutions save and except as follows:

Market Price Movement

The Option valuation noted above assumes a market price of the Shares on the date of issue of $0.145 per share. There is a possibility that the market price of the Shares on the date of issue of the Management Options will be different to this and that the market price of the Shares will change up to the date of the Meeting.

Trading History

In the 12 months prior to the valuation detailed above under the heading “Valuation”, the Company’s trading history is as follows:

Platina Resources Limited Notice of GM

Page 14 of 23

  • the highest trading price was $0.195; and

  • the lowest trading price was $0.033.

The most recent trading price of the Shares on the close of trading on 17 March 2017 was $0.145.

Opportunity Costs

The opportunity cost to the Company in issuing the Management Options to Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley or their respective nominees is the potentially dilutionary impact on the issued share capital of the Company (in the event that the Management Options are exercised). Until exercised, the issue of the Management Options will not impact upon the number of Shares on issue in the Company. To the extent that upon their exercise the dilutionary impact caused by the issue of Shares will be detrimental to the Company, this is more than offset by the advantages accruing from the Company securing the services of experienced and skilled Directors on appropriate incentive terms.

It is also considered that the potential increase of value of the Management Options is dependent upon a relative increase in the value of the Company generally.

Taxation Consequences

No stamp duty will be payable in respect of the issue of the Management Options. No GST will be payable by the Company in respect of the issue of the Management Options (or if it is then it will be recoverable as an input credit).

AASB 2 “Share Based Payments” requires that these payments shall be measured at the more readily determinable fair value of the equity instrument. Under the accounting standards this amount will be expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. Where the issue date and the vesting date are different the total expenditure calculated will be allocated between the two dates taking into account the terms and conditions attached to the instruments and the counterparties as well as management’s assumptions about probabilities of payments and compliance with and attainment of the terms and conditions.

3.4 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires an entity to obtain the approval of Shareholders to an issue of securities to a related party. Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley, being Directors of the Company, are related parties of the Company. Accordingly, because the issue of the Management Options will result in the Company issuing securities to a related party, approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is required.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the Company advises as follows:

  • The maximum total number of Management Options to be issued to Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley, or their respective nominees, is 10,000,000 Management Options (being 2,000,000 Management Options to Mr Moller, 6,000,000 Management Options to Mr Mosig and 2,000,000 Management Options to Dr Hartley, or their nominee);

  • Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained a letter of offer for the issue of the Management Options will be sent to Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley (respectively) ( Offer ). Subject to each Directors’ acceptance of the Offer, the Management Options are intended to be issued as soon as possible following the Meeting, but in any event, no later than one (1) month after the date of the Meeting;

  • The Management Options are being issued for nil consideration and the terms of the issue are set out in further detail above at section 3.2;

Platina Resources Limited Notice of GM

Page 15 of 23

  • No funds are being raised by the issue of the Management Options; and

  • As Shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1, pursuant to exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2.

3.5 Voting restrictions

There are restrictions on voting on Resolutions Four, Five and Six, by Messrs Moller, Mosig and Hartley and their associates and Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties. For additional details please refer to the Voting Exclusion Statements in Resolutions Four, Five and Six of the Notice of Meeting.

Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the chairperson will be cast by the Chair and counted in favour of the resolutions the subject of this Meeting, including these Resolutions Four, Five and Six, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.

Save as set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors are not aware of any other information that will be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to benefits contemplated by Resolutions Four, Five and Six.

4. Resolution Seven – Issue of Management Options to Mr Jurman

4.1 Introduction

As outlined in 3.1 above, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 11,000,000 Management Options to the Key Management Personnel. As part of this issue, the Company has resolved to issue 1,000,000 Management Options to Mr P Jurman or his nominee(s) in consideration for his services as company secretary of the Company, on the terms set out in 3.2 above.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 1,000,000 Management Options to Mr P Jurman.

As discussed above at section 2.2, under Listing Rule 7.1, a listed company is generally prevented from issuing “securities” (including shares or options) that would equate to (when all other issues of securities are aggregated) 15% of its share capital in any 12 month period, without first obtaining shareholder approval. In order to obtain such approval, the notice of meeting for the meeting at which approval is given must contain certain information, as required under Listing Rule 7.3.

The effect of Resolution 7 will be to allow the Company to issue the Management Options to Mr Jurman 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 under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Management Options to be issued to Mr Jurman (or his nominee(s)) under Resolution 7:

  • the maximum number of Management Options to be issued to Mr Jurman is 1,000,000;

  • Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained, a letter of offer for the issue of the Management Options will be sent to Mr Jurman ( Offer ). Subject to Mr Jurman’s acceptance of the Offer, the Management Options are intended to be issued as soon as possible following the Meeting, but in any event, no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting;

  • the Management Options are being issued to Mr Jurman for nil cash consideration in satisfaction of services provided by Mr Jurman and the terms of the issue are set out in further detail above at section 3.2;

  • the Management Options will be issued to Mr Jurman (or his nominee), who is not a related party of the Company; and

Platina Resources Limited Notice of GM

Page 16 of 23

  • no funds will be raised from the issue of the Management Options to Mr Jurman as the Management Options are being issued in consideration for services provided by Mr Jurman.

The Directors recommend that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution as the issue of the Management Options to Mr Jurman will provide Mr Jurman with reward and incentive for future services he will provide to the Company to further the progress of the Company.

5. Resolution Eight - Approval to Adopt Employee Option Incentive Plan

Pursuant to Resolution Eight, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to update the Company’s Employee Option Incentive Plan (the Plan ), and for the potential future issue of securities under the Plan as an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

5.1 Background

The Company seeks to modernise, update and replace the existing Plan which was implemented in 2008 and modified in 2013 as a means of rewarding and incentivising its key employees. A summary of the terms of the updated Plan are set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum.

5.2 Listing Rules

As discussed above at section 2.2, under Listing Rule 7.1, a listed company is generally prevented from issuing “securities” (including shares or options) that would equate to (when all other issues of securities are aggregated) 15% of its share capital in any 12 month period, without first obtaining shareholder approval. Under Listing Rule 7.1A, small and mid cap listed entities that meet the eligibility threshold and have obtained the approval of their ordinary Shareholders by special resolution at the AGM, are permitted to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period from the date of the AGM ( Additional 10% Placement ). The Additional 10% Placement under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the ability of the Company to issue 15% of its issued capital without Shareholder approval over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. As a result, any issue of options by the Company to eligible employees under the Plan would reduce the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, or the Company’s 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2 however, allows the Company to issue “securities” without specific shareholder approval and without reducing the 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, where shareholders of the Company have approved the issue of securities under an employee share and option plan (like the Plan) as an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, within three years prior to the issue of the securities. Resolution Eight is being put to shareholders for this purpose and will allow the Company to utilise Exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.2 for three years from the date of the Resolution being passed.

5.3 Information for Shareholders

In accordance with Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2, the Company advises as follows:

  • there have not been any options issued under the Plan since the last approval received in November 2013; and

  • a summary of the key terms of the Plan are set out in Annexure A.

Voting restrictions

There are restrictions on voting on Resolution Eight, by a Director and any associate of a Director and Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties. For additional details please refer to the Voting Exclusion Statements in Resolution Eight of the Notice of Meeting.

6. Resolution Nine - Issue of options to Hartleys Limited

6.1 Introduction

As part of the Placement announced on 9 March 2017 and completed on 17 March 2017 the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 6,000,000 unlisted options ( Hartleys Options ) to Hartleys as Lead Manager of the Placement and for providing advice in relation to equity markets, strategic advice in terms of market positioning and corporate strategy.

Pursuant to Resolution Nine, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the grant of the Hartleys Options to Hartleys. The Hartleys Options will have an exercise price of $0.20 per share, exercisable at any time over a two year period from the date of issue

As discussed above at section 2.2, under Listing Rule 7.1, a listed company is generally prevented from issuing “securities” (including shares or options) that would equate to (when all other issues of securities are aggregated) 15% of its share capital in any 12 month period, without first obtaining shareholder approval. In order to obtain such approval, the notice of meeting for the meeting at which approval is given must contain certain information, as required under Listing Rule 7.3.

The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Company to issue the Hartleys Options to Hartleys 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 under listing Rule 7.1.

6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Hartleys to be issued to Hartleys under Resolution 7:

  • the maximum number of Hartleys Options to be issued to Hartleys is 6,000,000;

  • Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained, the Hartleys Options are intended to be issued as soon as possible following the Meeting, but in any event, no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting;

  • the Hartleys Options are being issued to Hartleys for nil cash consideration and the terms of the issue are set out in further detail at section 6.3;

  • the Hartleys Options will be issued to Hartleys (or their nominee), who is not a related party of the Company; and

  • no funds will be raised from the issue of the Hartleys Options to Hartleys as the Hartleys Options are being issued in consideration for services provided by Hartleys.

The Board recommends that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution as the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities 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.

6.3 Hartleys Option Terms

The Hartleys Options are to be issued for no consideration, with an exercise price of $0.20. The terms of the Hartleys Options are to be the same as the terms of the Management Options (set out in 3.2 above), with the exception of the Vesting Condition and expiry date, as follows:

  • The Hartleys Options will vest immediately on issue.

  • The Hartleys Options will expire and be forfeited (if the Hartleys Options have not already been forfeited) on the date that is two years after their issue.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each item of business . If the Chair of the Meeting is your proxy (or becomes your proxy by default), you authorise the Chair to exercise your proxy even if he has an interest in the outcome of the resolutions and that votes cast by the Chair of the Meeting for those resolutions other than as proxy holder will be disregarded because of that interest, subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If you have directed your proxy how to vote on a Resolution and your named proxy either does not attend the Meeting or attends the Meeting but does not vote on a poll on the Resolution, the Chair of the meeting will become your proxy in respect of that Resolution. If you do not wish to authorise the Chair to vote in this way, you should direct your vote in accordance with Step 2 below.

Exercise of undirected proxies by Key Management Personnel

If a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) or their Closely Related Party is your proxy and you have not directed the proxy how to vote, that person will not vote your shares on Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 (being resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel).

If the Chair is (or becomes) your proxy, you can direct the Chair to vote for or against or abstain from voting on any Resolution by marking the appropriate box at Step 2 below. Unless you indicate otherwise by ticking either the ‘For’, ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ box, you will be authorising the Chair to vote in accordance with the Chair’s voting intention. In particular, if the Chair of the Meeting is appointed your proxy (or becomes your proxy by default), and you have not directed the proxy how to vote, you authorise the Chair to exercise your proxy on Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 even though Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel (and the Chair is a member of Key Management Personnel).

In exceptional circumstances, the Chair may change his voting intention on any Resolution, in which case an ASX Announcement will be made.
