Mr McDonald holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from Queensland University of Technology and is currently Managing Director of ASX listed Santana Minerals Limited.

Mr McDonald has extensive experience as a lawyer and a director of listed public companies including previously ASX 200 listed mining services company Industrea Limited which was acquired by General Electric (GE). He has been involved in the natural resources sector in Australia and internationally for many years.

Mr McDonald is also currently a non-executive director of Planet Gas Limited and unlisted Mekong Minerals Limited.

Board recommendation

The Board (with Anthony McDonald abstaining) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr McDonald as a Director under resolution 3.

– Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 Approval to issue Shares in lieu of accrued fees to Directors

During the past 24 to 36 months (depending on the Director), the Directors have elected to accrue their fees for services to the Company, which has allowed the Company to apply those funds to working capital. These fees have been treated as accrued expenses in the Company’s records and reported in the Company’s previous financial reports.

The Company is proposing that the fees payable to Directors accrued up to and including 30 September 2017 be paid by way of issue of Shares to the Directors, subject to approval by Shareholders (being the subject of resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7). Shares to be issued to the Directors have been determined based on the respective amounts accrued and owing to each Director up to and including 30 September 2017.

It is proposed that the Shares be issued at a price of $0.25. For comparison purposes, the VWAP for the period from 16 August 2017 (being the date that the PPK Group Limited was reinstated to official quotation on the ASX) to 9 October 2017 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting) was $0.15 per Share. Accordingly, the Shares to be issued under resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 are being issued at a premium of 64.8% to the VWAP for this period.

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires the Company to seek Shareholder approval prior to the issue of securities to a related party (as that term is defined under the Listing Rules). As Mr Graeme Webb, Mr Robin Levison, Mr Dale McNamara and Mr Glenn Molloy are all Directors, they are considered to each be a related party of the Company.

As noted in Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the purposes of resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 as approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Shares will not count towards the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:

Name of person being issued the Shares
Mr Graeme Webb, or an entity associated with Mr Webb

Mr Robin Levison, or an entity associated with Mr Levison

Mr Dale McNamara, or an entity associated with Mr McNamara

Mr Glenn Molloy, or an entity associated with Mr Molloy

Mr Webb, in consideration of accrued fees of $95,000 owing to Mr

1,680,000 Shares to Mr Robin Levison, or an entity associated with
Mr Levison, in consideration of accrued fees of $420,000 owing to

to Mr McNamara

1,496,760 Shares to Mr Glenn Molloy, or an entity associated with

The date by which Shares will be issued The Shares will be issued as soon as practicable following approval of
resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 by Shareholders, but in any event will be issued
within 1 month of such approval
The issue price of the Shares $0.25 per Share
The terms of issue of the Shares The Shares will rank equally and have the same rights in all respects with
other ordinary shares of the Company
The intended use of funds raised No funds will be raised as the Shares are being issued in payment of
accrued fees to Directors

Related party transaction

Pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, if a public company proposes to provide a financial benefit to a related party, the company 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. In particular, section 210 provides that member approval is not needed on terms that:

  • (a) would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company and the related party were dealing at arms’ length; or

  • (b) are less favourable to the related party than the terms referred to in paragraph (a).

The Directors have resolved that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Shares to Directors on the basis that the exceptions under sections 210 and/or 211 are applicable.

Board recommendation

In the interests of corporate governance, the Directors have abstained from making a recommendation in relation to resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7.

Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 – Approval of selective buy-back of Shares

At the general meeting of Shareholders held on 28 April 2014, Shareholders approved the issue of 15,500,000 Shares ( Plan Shares ) in aggregate to the nominated entities of Mr Robin Levison, Mr Dale McNamara and Mr Jinping Zhang under a share and loan plan ( Plan ) at $0.70 per Share. The Plan Shares were issued on 29 April 2014 to:

  • (a) 7,500,000 Shares to Ignition Trust (the nominated entity for Mr Levison);

  • (b) 4,000,000 Shares to McNamara Investment Trust; and

  • (c) 4,000,000 Shares to Zhang Investment Trust,

(each a Nominated Entity ).

In accordance with the Plan, Plan Shares were funded by a limited recourse loan from the Company to each Nominated Entity for a term of three years. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the full amount of the principal loan amount plus interest remains outstanding in respect of each Nominated Entity ( Outstanding Loan Balance ).

On expiry of the three year term, a Nominated Entity may, amongst other things:

  • (a) request the Company to buy-back at the prevailing market price a sufficient number of the Plan Shares held by it to repay the Outstanding Loan Balance; and

  • (b) the Company must accept the net proceeds of the buy-back in full satisfaction of the Outstanding Loan Balance.

In view of the prevailing market price of Shares and the amount owing under the loans, the Nominated Entities have requested that the Company buy-back the Plan Shares to satisfy the Outstanding Loan Balance. As the loans are limited recourse loans, the Nominated Entities will not be required to repay the Outstanding Loan Balance after the buy-back is completed and the Plan Shares are cancelled.

The Company has entered into share buy-back agreements with each Nominated Entity on the terms set out below:

  • (a) ( buy-back ): subject to the satisfaction of the condition precedent in (b) below, each Nominated Entity has agreed to enter into an agreement to sell, and the Company has agreed to purchase, the Plan Shares at a price equal to the 10 day VWAP for Shares, free from all encumbrances and with all rights attaching to them, the proceeds of which will be used to repay the Outstanding Loan Balance;

  • (b) ( condition precedent ): Completion of the buy-back is conditional upon the Company receiving all requisite Shareholder approvals pursuant to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules;

  • (c) ( completion ): Completion of the buy-back will occur at 10.00am on the date that is 5 business days after the satisfaction of the condition precedent (or such other time as the parties agree);

The Plan Shares will be cancelled following completion of the buy-back in accordance with section 257H(3) of the Corporations Act.

Corporations Act requirements relating to the buy-back

The Corporations Act provides that the rules relating to share buy-backs are designed to protect the interests of shareholders and creditors by:

  • (a) addressing the risk of the transaction leading to the company’s solvency;

  • (b) seeking to ensure fairness between the shareholders of the company; and

  • (c) requiring the company to disclose all material information.

In particular, section 257A of the Corporations Act provides that a company may buy back its own shares if:

  • (a) the buy-back does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors; and

  • (b) the company follows the procedures laid down in Division 2 of Part 2J.1 of the Corporations Act.

Pursuant to section 257D(1) of the Corporations Act, a selective share buy-back must be approved by either:

  • (a) a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by any person whose shares are to be bought back or by their associates; or

  • (b) a resolution agreed to, at a general meeting by all ordinary shareholders.

7

The phrase “no votes being cast” is intended to operate in a similar way to the way in which voting exclusion statements operate in the context of the ASX Listing Rules.

Section 257H(3) of the Corporations Act provides that immediately after the registration of the transfer to a company of shares bought back, the shares are cancelled.

Pursuant to section 257D(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must include with the Notice a statement setting out all information known to the Company that is material to the decision on how to vote. However, the Company does not have to disclose information if it would be unreasonable to require the Company to do so because the Company had previously disclosed the information to Shareholders.

In accordance with ASIC Regulatory Guide 110, the below table discloses the following information to Shareholders. Other than set out in this Notice of Meeting, the Company is not aware of any other information material to the decision whether to vote in favour of resolutions 8, 9 and 10.

Shares on issue as at the
date of this Notice
73,314,570 Shares 73,314,570 Shares 73,314,570 Shares
Number and percentage of
Shares to be bought back
15,500,000 Shares, representing 21.14% of issued Shares
Purchase price The purchase price will be calculated by the 10 day VWAP for Shares, which will be used to repay
the Outstanding Loan Balance in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
The financial effect of the
buy-back on the Company
No funds will be used as the purchase price for the buy-back will be used to repay the
Outstanding Loan Balance. Accordingly, there will be no impact on the Company’s financial
position.
Source of funds No funds will be used as the purchase price for the buy-back will be used to repay the
Outstanding Loan Balance.
Reasons for the buy-back In accordance with the terms of the Plan (as approved by Shareholders on 28 April 2014), the
Nominated Entities have requested that the Company buy-back the Plan Shares to satisfy the
Outstanding Loan Balance.
Interests of any Director who
may participate in the buy-
back
The Ignition Trust is controlled by Mr Robin Levison, the Managing Director of the Company. As
at the date of the Notice of Meeting, Mr Levison has a Relevant Interest in 11,782,806 Shares
and a voting power of 16.07%. After the buy-back and cancellation of the Plan Shares, Mr
Levison will have a Relevant Interest in 4,282,806 Shares and a voting power of 5.84% (excluding
the effects of the other resolutions in this Notice of Meeting if approved by Shareholders).
The McNamara Investment Trust is controlled by Mr Dale McNamara, a Director of the Company.
As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, Mr McNamara has a Relevant Interest in 4,000,000
Shares and a voting power of 5.46%. After the buy-back and cancellation of the Plan Shares, Mr
McNamara will have no Shares.
Advantages of the buy-back The Directors consider that the buy-back will have the following advantages to Shareholders:

the issued capital of the Company will be concentrated following the buy-back and
cancellation of Plan Shares, increasing each Shareholder’s ownership interest in the
Company;

no cash will be expended to undertake the buy-back; and

the Company is required to conduct the buy-back to comply with the terms of the Plan
previouslyapproved byShareholders.
Disadvantages of the buy-
back
The Board is not aware of any disadvantages to Shareholders not participating in the buy-back.
For Shareholders whose Shares are subject to the buy-back, they will have the relevant Shares
that are bought back cancelled and will not receive any payment (as the purchase price will be
applied against the Outstanding Loan Balance).
Information on Share price The highest, lowest and last trading price of Shares on ASX over period from 16 August 2017
(being the date that the PPK Group Limited was reinstated to official quotation on the ASX) to 9

Effect of the buy-back on control of the Company

It is not expected that the buy-back will give rise to any change in the control of the Company.

Related party transaction

Pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, if a public company proposes to provide a financial benefit to a related party, the company 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. In particular, section 210 provides that member approval is not needed on terms that:

The Ignition Trust and the McNamara Investment Trust are related parties by virtue of being controlled by Mr Levison and Mr McNamara, respectively.

The Directors have resolved that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the buy-back because the terms of the Plan have been approved previously approved by Shareholders and the buy-back is being conducted on arms’ length terms at market value.

Board recommendation

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM

STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.

If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company's securities registry or you may copy this form.

STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM

The form must be signed as follows:

Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.

Joint Holding: where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

STEP 4 LODGEMENT

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities 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.

(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 2:30pm AEDT on Saturday 18 November 2017. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.

Proxy forms may be lodged using the enclosed Reply Paid Envelope or:

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

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

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an "Appointment of Corporate Representative" prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company's securities registry.
