Information for voting shareholders
Voting Entitlements
For the purpose of determining a person’s entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting, and in accordance with regulation 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2011 (Cth), the Board has determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register of Shareholders as at 5.00 pm (WST) on 27 November 2016.
On a poll, Shareholders have one vote for every Share held.
How to vote
Shareholders can vote by either:
-
attending the meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or
-
appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the proxy form accompanying this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post, by fax or as an email attachment.
Voting in person (or by attorney)
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and attendance recorded. Attorneys should bring with them an original or certified copy of the power of attorney under which they have been authorised to attend and vote at the meeting.
Voting by proxy
In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, members (i.e. Shareholders) are advised that:
-
each member has a right to appoint a proxy;
-
the proxy need not be a member of the Company; and
-
a member who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.
Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the meeting.
The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
Any instrument appointing a proxy must in accordance with clause 10.34 of the Company’s Constitution be received by the Company not less than 48 hours before the time for the meeting (i.e. it must be received by no later than 10.00 am (WST) on 27 November 2016.
The proxy form must be signed by the Shareholder or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, in a manner permitted by the Corporations Act. A proxy given by a foreign corporation must be executed in accordance with its constituent documents and the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation. Where the appointment of a proxy is signed by the appointer's attorney, a certified copy of the power of attorney, or the power itself, must be received by the Company at the above address, or by facsimile, or as an email attachment and by no later than 10.00 am (WST) on 27 November 2016. If facsimile transmission or email together with an attachment is used, the power of attorney must be certified.
Directed Proxies
Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:
-
if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and
-
any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed if a poll is demanded.
Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :
- the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
5
-
if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
-
if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:
-
an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and
-
the appointed proxy is not the Chair of the meeting; and
-
at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and
-
either of the following applies:
-
the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting; or
-
the proxy does not vote on the resolution,
the Chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.
A proxy form is attached to this Notice of Meeting.
Undirected Proxies
If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit subject to any restrictions at law or under the ASX Listing Rules.
Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice of Meeting, be proposed at the General Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit subject to any restrictions at law or under the Listing Rules.
If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on a poll called in relation to a Resolution and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.
Shareholders who return their proxy forms with a direction how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a proxy form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used where possible to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting prohibition or exclusion laws or rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions (if any). These laws and rules (if any) are explained in this Notice.
Corporate Representatives
Any corporation which is a Shareholder may authorise (by certificate under common seal or other form of execution authorised by the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation, or in any other manner satisfactory to the Chair of the General Meeting) a natural person to act as its representative at the Annual General Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.

1. Financial Statements and Reports
In accordance with the Constitution, 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 2016 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.predictivediscovery.com
2. Resolution 1- Re-election of Mr David Kelly as a Director
Article 19.5 of the Company's Constitution requires that a Director who was appointed to fill a casual vacancy must retire from office and will be eligible for re-election at the next annual general meeting following his or her appointment. David Kelly was appointed to fill a casual vacancy on 22 January 2016. Accordingly, Mr Kelly retires at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Company's Constitution and, being eligible, seeks re-election.
Details regarding Mr Kelly’s qualifications are set out in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report.
3. Resolution 2 – Approval 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 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.
Voting consequences
Under the Corporations Act 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.
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.

4. Resolutions 3-5 Grant of Options to related parties
4.1 Background
The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to grant a total of 49,500,000 Options to related parties of the Company ( Related Parties ), as follows:
-
(a) 8,250,000 Options proposed to be granted to Holihox Pty Ltd (controlled by Director Mr Phillip Jackson) or its nominee under Resolution 3;
-
(b) 8,250,000 Options proposed to be granted to Director Mr David Kelly or his nominee under Resolution 4; and
-
(c) 33,000,000 Options proposed to be granted to Director Mr Paul Roberts or his nominee under Resolution 5.
( Related Party Options ).
The Related Party Options will comprise 3 classes of Options (and the Related Parties Options to be granted to each Related Party are to comprise these classes in equal amounts) as follows:
-
Class A: A 2 year term with an exercise price for the Related Party Options of a 40% premium to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the 5 trading days in which Shares were traded immediately prior to the date of grant of the Options. See Schedule 2 for full terms.
-
Class B: A 3 year term with an exercise price for the Related Party Options of a 100% premium to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the 5 trading days in which Shares were traded immediately prior to the date of grant of the Options. See Schedule 3 for full terms.
-
Class C: A 4 year term with an exercise price for the Related Party Options of a 200% premium to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the 5 trading days in which Shares were traded immediately prior to the date of grant of the Options. See Schedule 4 for full terms.
Each of the Directors has taken a significant reduction in fees and salaries in the past 18 months, commencing in April 2015, in an effort to conserve cash. When Mr Kelly was appointed as a non-executive director in January 2016, he accepted lower than industry standard directors’ fees with his letter of appointment stating that shareholder approval would be sought at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company to issue him with Options.
In addition to the above, the grant of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties is designed to reward the commitment and performance of the Directors and better align their interests with shareholders. With the exercise prices of the Related Party Options being at a significant premium to the volume weighted average Share price in the 5 days on which the Shares were traded immediately prior to the date of grant, it will thereby provide a material additional incentive for the ongoing involvement of the Directors to the growth of the Company without drawing on the Company’s cash reserves.
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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.
9
The grant of the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors or, in the case of Holihox Pty Ltd, being a company controlled by a Director (namely Phillip Jackson).
In relation to Resolution 3, the Directors, other than Mr Phillip Jackson who has a material personal interest in Resolution 3, consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required (by relying on the arm’s length exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act) in respect of the proposed grant of Related Party Options to Holihox Pty Ltd or its nominee because they are being granted in consideration of fees forgone by the Related Party and are considered a reasonable part of the Related Party’s remuneration in the circumstances having regard to the services provided and procured by the Related Party to the Company and have been made on an arm’s length basis (i.e. without involvement of Mr Phillip Jackson and having due regard to current market practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and with similar activities to the Company).
In relation to Resolution 4, the Directors, other than Mr David Kelly who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4, consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required (by relying on the arm’s length exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act) in respect of the proposed grant of Related Party Options to Mr David Kelly or his nominee because they are being granted in consideration of fees forgone by the Related Party and are considered a reasonable part of the Related Party’s remuneration in the circumstances having regard to the services provided and procured by the Related Party to the Company and have been negotiated on an arm’s length basis (i.e. without involvement of Mr David Kelly and having due regard to current market practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and with similar activities to the Company).
In relation to Resolution 5, the Directors, other than Mr Paul Roberts who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5, consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required (by relying on the arm’s length exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act) in respect of the proposed grant of Related Party Options to Mr Paul Roberts or his nominee because they are being granted in consideration of fees forgone by the Related Party and are considered a reasonable part of the Related Party’s remuneration in the circumstances having regard to the services provided and procured by the Related Party to the Company and have been negotiated on an arm’s length basis (i.e. without involvement of Mr Paul Roberts and having due regard to current market practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and with similar activities to the Company).
4.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the grant of the Related Party Options involves the issue of securities to Related Parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances in respect of any of Resolutions 3 to 5.
4.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3 to 5:
-
(a) the Related Party Options are proposed to be granted as follows:
-
(i) 8,250,000 Options proposed to be granted to Holihox Pty Ltd (controlled by Director Mr Phillip Jackson) or its nominee under Resolution 3 (comprising 2,750,000 Class A Options, 2,750,000 Class B Options and 2,750,000 Class C Options);
-
(ii) 8,250,000 Options proposed to be granted to Director Mr David Kelly (or his nominee) under Resolution 4 (comprising 2,750,000 Class A Options, 2,750,000 Class B Options and 2,750,000 Class C Options); and
10
-
(iii) 33,000,000 Options proposed to be granted to Director Mr Paul Roberts (or his nominee) under Resolution 5 (comprising 11,000,000 Class A Options, 11,000,000 Class B Options and 11,000,000 Class C Options);
-
(b) the maximum number of Related Party Options the subject of Resolutions 3 to 5 is 49,500,000 in the respective amounts set out in (a) above;
-
(c) the Related Party Options will be granted no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Related Party Options will occur on the same date;
-
(d) the Related Party Options will be granted for nil consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised from the grant of the Related Party Options; and
-
(e) the Related Party Options comprise Class A Options, Class B Option and Class C Options. The terms of these different classes of options are set out in Schedules 2, 3 and 4 respectively of this this Explanatory Memorandum.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Related Party Options under Resolutions 3 to 5 as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the grant of Related Party Options under Resolutions 3 to 5 will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
5. Resolution 6 - Grant of Options to Consultants
5.1 Background

-
a. Golden Kilometre Mines Pty Ltd - a company controlled by Company Secretary Eric Moore, which company provides Company Secretarial services to the Company by virtue of a Services Agreement with Aurora Minerals Limited; and

-
c. Fractore Pty Ltd– a company associated with Consultant Geologist Finbarr Murphy, which company provides geological consulting services to the Company.
( Consultants ).
The grant of the Options to the Consultants is designed to:

(b) do this in a way which does not deplete the Company’s cash reserves.
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.
The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company to issue the Options to the Consultants 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.
