2. Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by a person who participated in the issue of Placement Shares and associates of that person.

However the Company need not disregard a vote if:

  • $(a)$ it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
  • $(b)$ it is cast by the person chairing the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

$3.$ Proxies

A shareholder entitled to attend the Meeting and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote for the shareholder at the Meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder. If the shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the Meeting the shareholder may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes which each proxy is appointed to exercise. A form of proxy accompanies this Notice.

4. Voting Entitlement

The Company may specify a time, not more than 48 hours before the Meeting, at which a 'snap-shot' of shareholders will be taken for the purposes of determining shareholder entitlements to vote at the Meeting. The Company (as convenor of the Meeting) has determined that a person's entitlement to vote at the Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register of shareholders as at 5.30 pm (SA time) on 13 March 2011. This means that any shareholder registered at 5.30 pm (SA time) on 13 March 2011 is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting.

5. Corporate Representative

Any corporate shareholder who has appointed a person to act as its corporate representative at the Meeting should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) authorising him or her to act as that company's representative. The authority may be sent to the Company and/or registry in advance of the Meeting or handed in at the Meeting when registering as a corporate representative.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of a notice convening a general meeting of shareholders of Petratherm Limited to be held on 15 March 2011. This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice and the reasons for the resolution proposed. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.

On 16 December 2010 the Company announced that it had successfully completed a placement of 15,040,000 ordinary shares (Placement Shares) at an issue price of $0.10 per share to raise approximately $1.5 million.

The Placement Shares were issued on 22 December 2010. The purpose of Resolution 1 is to obtain shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Shares for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides, in summary, that a listed company may not issue equity securities in any 12 month period which exceeds 15% of the number of issued securities of the company held at the beginning of the 12 month period, except with the prior approval of shareholders of the company in general meeting, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 applies.

However, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities made without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if:

  • $(a)$ the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • $(b)$ holders of ordinary securities subsequently approve it.

The issue of the Placement Shares did not result in the Company breaching the 15% limit referred to in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of the Placement Shares does not therefore depend upon shareholders passing Resolution 1. The purpose of Resolution 1 is to obtain shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes. If shareholders approve the issue of the Placement Shares for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the issue of the Placement Shares will not count towards determining the number of equity securities which the Company can issue in any 12 month period. However, if shareholders do not approve the issue of the Placement Shares for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the issue of the Placement Shares will count towards the number of equity securities which the Company can issue in any 12 month period.

For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.5 information regarding the Placement Shares is provided as follows:

  • 15,040,000 Placement Shares were allotted on 22 December 2010.
  • The Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.10 each.
  • The terms and conditions of the Placement Shares are the same as the terms and conditions of already issued fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.
  • The allottees of the Placement Shares are applicants for Placement Shares as determined by the Board.
  • Funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares will be used fund ongoing exploration and development of the Company's projects, in particular the Company's flagship project Paralana and the Tenerife slim-hole drilling campaign.

The directors of the Company recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
