EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF CONSIDERATION SHARES

1.1 General

As announced on 17 February 2020, the Company has entered into a 12 month option agreement with Eurasian Minerals Sweden AB (Eurasian) (Option Agreement), with the ability to subsequently purchase 100% interests in the Espedalen, Sigdal and Hosanger advanced nickel sulphide projects in southern and west-central Norway (the Projects). The terms of the Option Agreement are summarised in Schedule 1.

The Projects are currently owned by Eurasian, a wholly owned subsidiary of EMX Royalty Corporation.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued 20,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Shares) to Eurasian on 21 February 2020 (Consideration Shares).

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10%, to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 27 November 2019.

The issue of the Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A that are set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively used up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consideration Shares.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consideration Shares.

1.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES

4.1 General

On 24 July 2020, the Company completed a placement to sophisticated and institutional investors pursuant to which it issued 59,500,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.005 per Share.

26,518,425 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 3) and 32,981,575 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's 7.1A mandate (being the subject of Resolution 4) which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 27 November 2019.

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4 are set out in Section 1.1 above.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Resolutions 3 and 4 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4:

  • (a) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who were identified by the Directors and CPS. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process which involved the Directors and CPS seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company. None of the recipients are related parties, members of key personnel, substantial holders or advisers to the Company (or their associates);
  • (b) 59,500,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:
    • (i) 26,518,425 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 3); and
    • (ii) 32,981,575 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 4);
  • (c) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
  • (d) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 24 July 2020;
  • (e) the issue price was $0.005 per Tranche 1 Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares;
  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares was to raise $297,500, which will be applied towards the purposes set out in Section 3.1 above;
  • (g) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Commitment Agreements, which are summarised in Section 3.2 above; and
  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 3 and 4 of the Notice.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES

5.1 General

The Company is proposing to issue up to 60,500,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.005 per Share to raise up to $302,500 (Tranche 2 Placement Shares).

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1 above.

The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

  • (a) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who have been identified by the Directors and CPS. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process which involved the Directors and CPS seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related and related parties of the Company. Other than as expressly set out in this explanatory statement, none of the recipients are related parties, members of key personnel, substantial holders or advisers to the Company (or their associates);

  • (b) the maximum number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued is 60,459,600. The Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;

  • (c) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (d) the issue price of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be $0.005 per Tranche 2 Placement Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply towards the purposes set out in Section 3.1 above;

  • (f) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are being issued under the Commitment Agreements, which are summarised in Section 3.2 above;

  • (g) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 5 of the Notice.

6. RESOLUTIONS 6 TO 8 – ISSUE OF TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES TO THE PARTICIPATING DIRECTORS

6.1 Background

Resolutions 6 to 8 seek Shareholder approval for the issue up to:

  • (a) 5,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Wall (or his nominee);
  • (b) 2,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Freeman (or his nominee); and
  • (c) 2,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr O'Kane (or his nominee),

(together, the Participating Directors) as a result of the Director Participation on the terms set out below.

6.2 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.

The Director Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit to the Participating Directors, who are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than Mr Wall who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Wall because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Wall (or his nominee) on the same terms as Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

The Directors (other than Mr Freeman who has a material personal interest in Resolution 7) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Freeman because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Freeman (or his nominee) on the same terms as Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

The Directors (other than Mr O'Kane who has a material personal interest in Resolution 8) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr O'Kane because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr O'Kane (or his nominee) on the same terms as Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

6.3 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a Director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of Directors when matters in which that Director holds a "material personal interest" are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough Directors to form a quorum for a Directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the Directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) three of the Company's four Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 6 to 8. If each does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 6 to 8 at a Board level.

Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 6 to 8 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the reliance on the arm's length exception and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

6.4 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;
  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Director Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 6 to 8 seek Shareholder approval for the Director Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

6.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 6 to 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under the Director Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner as other funds raised under the Placement. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Director Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 6 to 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Participating Directors.

6.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 6 to 8:

  • (a) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to the Participating Directors (or their nominees), each of which fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Mr Wall, Mr Freeman and Mr O'Kane are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;
  • (b) the maximum number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued to:
    • (i) 5,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Wall (or his nominee);
    • (ii) 2,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Freeman (or his nominee); and
    • (iii) 2,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr O'Kane (or his nominee),
  • (c) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
  • (d) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued to the Participating Directors will be issued 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 Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued on the same date;
  • (e) the issue price of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued to the Participating Directors will be A$0.005 per Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued to other participants in the Placement. The

Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under the Director Participation is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 3 above;
  • (g) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued under the Director Participation are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Director;
  • (h) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued to the Participating Directors are being issued under the Commitment Agreements, which are summarised in Section 3.2 above; and
  • (i) a voting exclusion statements is included in Resolutions 6 to 8 of the Notice.

7. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO S3 CONSORTIUM PTY LTD

7.1 General

The Company has entered into an agreement to issue 6,875,000 Shares in consideration for marketing services provided by S3 (S3 Shares) (Second S3 Agreement). A summary of the material terms of the Second S3 Agreement is set out in Schedule 2.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1 above.

The proposed issue of the S3 Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions. While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

7.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the S3 Shares. In addition, the issue of the S3 Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, the issue of the S3 Shares can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company's capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue.

Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the S3 Shares.

7.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:

(a) the S3 Shares will be issued to S3 Consortium Pty Ltd, who are not related parties of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of S3 Shares to be issued is 6,875,000. The S3 Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
  • (c) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the S3 Shares will occur on the same date;
  • (d) the S3 Shares will be issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for marketing services provided by S3 Consortium Pty Ltd;
  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the S3 Shares is to satisfy the Company's obligations under the Second S3 Agreement;
  • (f) the S3 Shares are being issued to S3 Consortium Pty Ltd under the Second S3 Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the S3 is set out in Schedule 2;
  • (g) the S3 Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover; and
  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 9 of the Notice.

8. RESOLUTION 10 – ADOPTION OF INCENTIVE OPTION PLAN

8.1 General

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled "Incentive Option Plan" (Option Plan) and for the issue of Options under the Option Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

The objective of the Option Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Option Plan and the future issue of Options under the Option Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

As summarised in Section 1.1 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity's ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity's noticeof meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Options under the Option Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Options to eligible participants under the Option Plan (up to the maximum number of Options stated in Section 8.2(c) below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Options under the Option Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options under the Option Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Options will reduce, to that extent, the Company's capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Options.

8.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 10:

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Option Plan is set out in Schedule 3;
  • (b) on 8 November 2018, the Company issued the following Options under the Option Plan:
    • (i) 1,000,000 Options to Mr Matthew Kane, a Director; and
    • (ii) 1,000,000 Options to Key Management Personnel.

No other issues have been made under the Option Plan since was last approved by Shareholders on 30 June 2017;

  • (c) the maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Option Plan, following Shareholder approval, is 23,242,119 Options. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately; and
  • (d) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 10 of this Notice.

9. RESOLUTIONS 11 TO 14 – ISSUE OF RELATED PARTY OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

9.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Options to the following parties (being the Directors):

  • (a) (Resolution 11) 23,000,000 Options to Mr Mark Freeman (or his nominee);

  • (c) (Resolution 13) 13,000,000 Options to Mr Peter Wall (or his nominee); and
  • (d) (Resolution 14) 10,000,000 Options to Mr Matthew O'Kane (or his nominee),

A full summary of the material terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 4.

9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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.

The issue of the Related Party Options to the Directors (or their nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Freeman, Mr Read, Mr Wall and Mr O'Kane are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than Mr Freeman) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Related Party Options to Mr Freeman (being the subject of Resolution 11), because the agreement to issue the Related Party Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Freeman, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm's length basis.

The Directors (other than Mr Read) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Related Party Options to Mr Read (being the subject of Resolution 12), because the agreement to issue the Related Party Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Read, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm's length basis.

The Directors (other than Mr Wall) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Related Party Options to Mr Wall (being the subject of Resolution 13), because the agreement to issue the Related Party Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Wall, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm's length basis.

The Directors (other than Mr O'Kane) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Related Party Options to Mr O'Kane (being the subject of Resolution 14), because the agreement to issue the Related Party Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr O'Kane, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm's length basis.

9.3 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

A summary of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 6.3 above.

It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) each of the Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 11 to 14. If each does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 11 to 14 at a Board level.

Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 11 to 14 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the reliance on the arm's length exception and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

9.4 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;
  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders, unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of Related Party Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 11 to 14 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

9.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 11 to 14 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options to the Directors within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Options will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 11 to 14 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options and alternative cash based incentives will be negotiated with the Directors.

9.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 11 to 14:

  • (g) the Directors' current total remuneration packages per annum are as follows:
    • (i) for Mr Freeman, $180,000 of directors' fees/consulting fees;
    • (ii) for Mr Read, an estimated $144,000 of directors' fees/consulting fees (this estimate being calculated pursuant to Mr Read's daily rate);
    • (iii) for Mr Wall, $36,000 of directors' fees; and
    • (iv) for Mr O'Kane, $36,000 comprising of directors' fees;
