2.2. Resolution 1 - Remuneration Report 2019

Section 300A of the Corporations Act requires that the Directors' Report must contain a Remuneration Report containing prescribed information about the Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of the remuneration of Directors and senior management. The Remuneration Report must also explain the relationship between the remuneration policy of the Board and the Company's performance. The Remuneration Report is set out in the 2019 Annual Financial Report on page 9.

The Corporations Act requires that the Remuneration Report be submitted to shareholders for adoption by a non-binding resolution.

The Remuneration Report contains information regarding such matters (among others) as:

  • (i) the Board's policy for determining the nature and levels of remuneration of the Company's senior management personnel;
  • (ii) the relationship between the Board's remuneration policy and the Company's performance;
  • (iii) prescribed information regarding the remuneration paid to each member of the Company's key management personnel, including the amount of the remuneration paid to those personnel; and
  • (iv) where any element of the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel depended on the satisfaction of a performance condition, a summary of that performance condition and an explanation of why it was adopted in relation to the relevant personnel.

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of shareholders.

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of shareholders pass this will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements described in the respective Remuneration Report.

However, sections, 250U and 250Y, among others of the Corporations Act, give shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a no vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings (Two Strikes Rule).

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a no vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Director's Report must stand for re-election (Spill Resolution).

In addition, if comments are made on the Remuneration Report at the AGM, the Company's remuneration report in respect of the following financial year will be required to include an explanation of the Board's proposed action in response to those comments or, if no action is proposed, the reasons why.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Reports.

The Chairman will cast all available proxies in favour of this resolution. Shareholders may also choose to direct the Chairman to vote against this resolution or to abstain from voting.

2.3. Resolution 2: Election of Director – Mr Bruno Ruggiero

Mr Bruno Ruggiero offers himself for election to the Board in accordance with the Company's Constitution.

Mr Ruggiero is a Mechanical Engineer with over 30 years' experience in the minerals and related industries completing numerous local and international projects.

He is a founder of Lycopodium and, with expertise in both mechanical and process design, has undertaken diverse roles within the broader Lycopodium Group. He is an executive director of Lycopodium Minerals and a non-executive director of ECG Pty Ltd, a company in which Lycopodium is a shareholder.

Mr Ruggiero is currently the Technical Director of Lycopodium Minerals, responsible for setting the technical direction and standards for the Lycopodium Group's projects worldwide.

Mr Ruggiero was elected to the Board on 22 June 2018.

The Chairman will cast all available proxies in favour of this resolution. Shareholders may also choose to direct the Chairman to vote against this resolution or to abstain from voting. Each Director recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

2.4. Resolution 3 - Consolidation of Share Capital

2.4.1 Background

The Company proposes to consolidate its share capital through the conversion of every Thirty-Five (35) Shares into one (1) Share (Consolidation).

Section 254H of the Corporations Act permits a company to consolidate its shares if the consolidation is approved by an ordinary resolution of shareholders at a general meeting.

The Listing Rules also require that in respect of options, the number of options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

As the Consolidation applies equally to all Shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of Shares (subject to rounding). Accordingly, the Consolidation will have no effect on the percentage interest that each Shareholder holds in the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts of Shares, Options and Performance Rights referred to in this Notice are stated on a pre-Consolidation basis.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has 7,660,580,941 shares on issue, which represents a relatively large number of shares. The Directors propose the Consolidation because it will result in a more appropriate, effective capital structure for the Company and a share price more appealing to a wider range of investors.

2.4.2 Options

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 1,000,000,000 unlisted options (Unlisted Options).

If the Consolidation is approved, the Unlisted Options will also be reorganised in accordance with their terms and conditions and Listing Rule 7.22.1.

The number of Options will be consolidated in the same ratio as the Consolidation in relation to Shares, and the exercise price (if applicable) will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

For example, if Resolution 3 is approved, a holder of 100,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.00 will, on completion of the Consolidation, hold 2,858 Options with an exercise price of $0.00.

2.4 3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.20

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.20, information is provided in relation to the Consolidation as follows:

The number of Shares and Options on issue will change as set out in the following table:

Type of securities Number of securities currentlyon issue Number of securities on issue(post-Consolidation)
Shares 7,660,580,941 218,874,237
Options 1,000,000,0001 28,571,4292

Note:

  • (1) Options were to acquire Ordinary shares with an exercise price of $0.00 and expiry date of 20 July 2023
  • (2) The restated Options are to acquire Ordinary shares with an exercise price of $0.00 and expiry date of 20 July 2023

2.4.5 Proposed Timetable

In accordance with Appendix 7A of the Rules the proposed timetable for the consolidation of the shares, if approved by the meeting, will be as follows:

Event Date
Reorganisation Announced 25 October 2019
Reorganisation Approved 27 November 2019
Last date for trading in pre-organised securities 11 December 2019
Deferred settlement market ends and securityholding notices dispatched 20 December 2019

Subject to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules the Company reserves the right to amend this indicative timetable.

2.5. Resolutions 4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e): Approval of Issue of Shares to Directors

This resolution of the Notice seeks shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.11 and all other purposes for the issue of shares to Directors. This issue is proposed in lieu of the cash payment of directors' fees for the period 1 September 2018 to 31 December 2019.

The issuance of shares and the rates of remumeration have previously been approved at the 2018 Annual General Meeting however the Company never issued the approved shares. These resolutions will authourise the Company to now issue the shares.

For the purposes of calculating the number of shares issued the Company has utilised a share price of 0.25 cents per share. This price represents the volume weighted average closing price over the period from the date of recommencing of trading to 30 August 2019 rounded up to the nearest hundredth of a cent.

David Trimboli 1 January 2019 31 December 2019 $48,000 19,200,000

The issuance of these shares will result in a 2% dilution of the existing shareholders. These shares will be issued within 1 month of the meeting being held.

2.6. Resolutions 5(a), (b), (c), (d), (e): Approval of Issue of Shares to Directors

This resolution of the Notice seeks shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.11 and all other purposes for the issue of shares to Directors. This issue is proposed in lieu of the cash payment of quarterly directors' fees as set out in the table below.

Further, any issue of Shares to each of the Directors in accordance with the Table below is conditional upon any applicable ASX waiver which may be required pursuant to Listing Rules 10.13.3 and 10.13.5. In the event that the applicable ASX waiver is not granted, the Directors will not be entitled to any issue of shares pursuant to resolutions 5(a) to 5(e) inclusive.

The deemed issue price of the Shares is the higher of $0.001 or the monthly VWAP for the calendar month immediately preceding the month of issue of Shares. Note that the tables set out the maximum number of shares to be issued based on the current number of shares, if the share consolidation proposed in resolution 3 is passed than the minimum share price would be adjusted to $0.035.

For example, for the issue of shares for the quarter commencing 1 January 2020, the shares shall be issued on, or around, 1 January 2020 and the relevant date for the purposes of the VWAP calculation is the period 1 December 2019 to 31 December 2019.

The tables below have been prepared on the basis of the minimum issue price of $0.001 and various issue prices ranging from 0.1 cents per share to 0.3 cents per share. Each table sets out the maximum dilution that will arise on a quarterly and annual basis. At the minimum issue price of 0.1 cents the maximum quarterly dilution to shareholders is approximately 1.01%. At the higher issue price of 0.3 cents indicated below the maximum quarterly dilution to shareholders is approximately 0.34%.

It is the view of Directors that the proposed issue of shares pursuant to these resolutionsfall within the exception under section 211 of the Corporations Act (reasonable remuneration) given the circumstances of the Company and the position held by the Directors. Accordingly, shareholder approval is not being sought under section 208 of the Corporations Act, although shareholder approval must be obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

A Voting exclusion statement for each of the resolutions is set out in the Notice of Meeting. The Chairman intends to vote available undirected proxies in favour of all resolutions.

Shares associated with Future Remuneration are proposed to be issued more than 1 month after the Annual General Meeting, accordingly, the Company will seek a waiver from Listing Rule 10.13.3 and Listing Rule 10.13.3 to permit the issuance of the shares. Should the waiver not be granted the shares will not be issued and the Company will accrue the Directors' respective entitlements and remunerate them accordingly.

Note regarding ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the company. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Shares to the Directors as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.

Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under Listing Rule 10.11. For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5(a),5(b), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e):

  • (a) the related parties are Mr Bruno Ruggiero, Mr Steven Chadwick, Mr Sal Catalano, Mr Robert Osmetti and Mr David Trimboli and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors of the Company;
  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued by the Company will be determined by dividing the quarterly directors' fees payable by the prior months VWAP (subject to a floor price of $0.001) (0.1 cents) per Share) in advance for each Quarter from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020;
  • (c) the Company will request an ASX waiver from the requirement that the Shares be issued within one month after the date of the AGM and, should the request be successful, allotment will occur on a quarterly basis within 10 business days of the start of each quarter;
  • (d) any fractions of Shares resulting from the calculation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number;
  • (e) the Shares will be issued within ten days of the commencement of each quarter from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 for 100% of the Directors' fees for that quarter up to a maxmum of $18,000 (per quarter) at a deemed issue price calculated as the VWAP of the prior months trading (subject to a floor price of $0.001 (0.1 cents);
  • (f) there will not be any funds raised through the issue of securities, but the Company will be able to reduce its liabilities by up to $312,000 for the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020; and
  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting of which this Explanatory Statement forms part.

The Company's Annual Report for any period during which the shares are issued to Mr Bruno Ruggiero, Mr Steven Chadwick, Mr Sal Catalano, Mr Robert Osmetti and Mr David Trimboli (or their nominees) shall disclose the details of the number of Shares that were issued to them, including the percentage of the Company's issued capital represented by those Shares.

The relevant interests of the related parties in Shares of the Company and the potential future voting power of each Director based on the issues of Shares in lieu of Directors fees are set out below:

*Note: These figures are based on the maximum number of Shares that can be issued under Resolutions 5(a), 5(b), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e), i.e., on the assumption that the floor issue price of $0.001 (0.1 cents) is the deemed issue price for the whole of the Directors respective entitlements. If the calculation of the issue price of the shares, as specified in this Notice is materially greater than $0.001, the total number of Shares in aggregate to be issued over the 12 month period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 to Directors and their respective voting power may be materially less than that outlined in the table.

2.6 Resolution 5 – Adoption of Revised Constitution

Resolution 5 is a special resolution seeking the approval of Members to repeal the Company's existing constitution and to adopt a new constitution (Constitution), which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares updated to ensure it is consistent with, and reflects, the current provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act), ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Rules. This will incorporate amendments made to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules since the Company's existing constitution was adopted in 2014.

Rather than make a number of amendments to the Company's existing constitution, the Directors believes that it is preferable to repeal it and adopt an up-to-date replacement Constitution. Pursuant to section 136 of the Corporations Act, a company may adopt a new constitution by a special resolution passed at a general meeting of Members. A special resolution is passed where at least 75% of the votes cast by Members of the Company entitled to vote on the resolution are cast in favour of that resolution.

The proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing constitution. It has been updated to ensure it is consistent with, and reflects, the current provisions of the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Rules and market practice, particularly following its readmission to the Official List in late 2018. The Directors believe that the proposed changes to the existing constitution are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Members. A general summary of the key provisions of the Constitution, including some of the important features and rights attaching to the ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (Shares) are set out below. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified by the terms of the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

The Constitution is otherwise available for review by Members at its registered office, or a copy can be emailed to any Member who requests a copy.

If Resolution 5 is approved by the Members, the Constitution will take effect at the close of the AGM.

Directors' recommendation: The Directors recommend that the Members vote in favour of Resolution 5.
