EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

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 which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

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 2020 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.renegadeexploration.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 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 Company’s remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2020 ( Remuneration Report ).

The chair of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting. 2.2 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

Proxy Directions given No directions given
Key Management Personnel1 Vote as directed Unable to vote3
Chair2 Vote as directed Able to vote at discretion of Proxy4
Other Vote as directed Able to vote at discretion of Proxy

Notes:

1 Refers to Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member.

2 Refers to the Chair (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report), or a Closely Related Party of such a member.

3 Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – PETER VOULGARIS

Clause 11.7 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a managing director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

9

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 11.7 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election as a Director of the Company.

Accordingly, Peter Voulgaris, is required to and will retire from his office at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with clause 11.7 of the Constitution and being eligible, seeks re-election as a Director of the Company.

Details of Peter Voulgaris’ background and experience are set out in the Annual Report.

The Directors (apart from Peter Voulgaris) support the election Peter Voulgaris and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 & 4 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES

4.1 General

On 5 October 2020 the Company announced it had secured commitments for a placement to raise approximately $750,000 (before costs) through the issue of 150 million shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.005 per Share ( Placement Shares ).

The majority of funds raised from the Placement will be utilised to continue programs at the Company’s Yandal East Gold Project, pursue new opportunities and provide general working capital

The shares were issued utilising the Company’s existing placement capacities under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A in the following proportions:

  • 106,893,995 Placement Shares were issued, on 12 October 2020, at $0.005 per Share under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and are the subject of Resolution 3; and

  • 43,106,005 Placement Shares were issued, on 12 October 2020, at $0.005 per Share under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, and are the subject of Resolution 4.

The Company issued the Shares the subject of the Placement without prior Shareholder approval pursuant to both its 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 106,893,995 Placement Shares issued on 12 October 2020 at an issue price of $0.005 per Share under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 43,106,005 Placement Shares issued on 12 October 2020 at an issue price of $0.005 per Share under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

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.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue the subject of Resolution 3, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Placement Shares, the subject of Resolution 4 did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed the issue of the Placement Shares is still valid however 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.

10

4.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

On 22 November 2019, the Company held its annual general meeting where shareholder approval was sought and obtained to, amongst other things, approve an additional 10% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

  • (a) will not be counted in variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) are counted in variable “E”,

until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Placement Shares, the subject of Resolution 5 did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 4, the base figure (ie variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares is still valid however it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for 12 months following the issue or until additional approval is obtained at an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

4.4 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) A total of 150,000,000 Placement Shares were allotted and issued by the Company on the following basis:

  • (i) In relation to Resolution 3, 106,893,995 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on 12 October 2020;

  • (ii) In relation to Resolution 4, 43,106,005 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A on 12 October 2020;

  • (b) the issue price was $0.005 per Placement Share for both Resolution 3 and Resolution 4;

  • (c) the Placement Shares allotted were fully paid ordinary shares which rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors, none of which are related parties of the Company;

  • (e) $750,000 (before costs) was raised from the issue of the Placement Shares. The majority of funds raised from the Placement will be utilised to continue programs at the Company’s Yandal East Gold Project, pursue new opportunities and provide general working capital ; and

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.5 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolutions 3 and 4 are in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.

11

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

5.1 General

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 period.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting at which a resolution for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1A is passed by special resolution ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $6,000,000 as at 13 October 2020. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The Company may use the 10% Placement Facility to continue its exploration activities at the Yandal East Project, Western Australia and/or to acquire new resource assets or investments.

5.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities being Ordinary Shares.

Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 862,626,638 Shares.

Subject to the approval of Resolutions 3 and 4, the Company will be able to issue a total of:

  • (i) 129,393,995 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 86,262,663 quoted Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2. That formula is:

(A x D) – E

A is number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period,

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17,

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

12

  • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

Note: This may include fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 17 where the issue is subsequently approved under rule 7.1.

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period,

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.

Note that ‘A’ is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under rule 7.4; and

“relevant period” has the same meaning as in rule 7.1

10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) (10% Placement Period).

Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (i) Any equity securities issued under rule 7.1A.2 must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity’s equity securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or

  • (b) if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the securities are issued.

13

  • (ii) If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (b) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iii) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (a) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and

  • (b) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (a) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (b) No convertible securities (including any convertible securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • (c) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (d) Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed and variable “A” in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 is 862,626,638.

  • (e) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (f) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (g) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes convertible securities, it is assumed that those convertible securities are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

14

(h) The issue price is $0.007, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 26 October 2020.

  • (iv) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.

  • (v) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards continued exploration activities at the Yandal East Project, Western Australia, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisitions), feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.

  • (vi) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (vii) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

  • (viii) The Company previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its last annual general meeting on 22 November 2019.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6 the total number of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of this Notice of Meeting under LR 7.1A.2 is 43,106,005 representing 6% of the Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period. Refer to Schedule 1 of this Notice of Meeting for details of those Equity Securities issued during the preceding 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (ix) A voting exclusion statement is not included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

5.4 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION

6.1 General

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution which is of the type required for a public company limited by shares, updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules as well as changes to the ASX Listing Rules which took effect on 1 December 2019 in relation to the issue of restricted securities pursuant to transactions to which ASX Listing Rules 10.1 or 11.1.3 apply ( Proposed Constitution ).

The Proposed Constitution will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules since the current Constitution was updated in 2017.

In addition, ASX has introduced a number of rule changes to make aspects of the listing process and ongoing compliance with the listing rules more efficient for issuers and for ASX.

15

ASX has introduced a two-tier escrow regime where ASX can (and will) require certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form of Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings, ASX will instead permit entities to rely on a provision in their constitution imposing appropriate escrow restrictions on the holder of restricted securities and to simply give a notice to the holder of restricted securities in the form of a new Appendix 9C advising them of those restrictions.

The new listing rules came into effect on 1 December 2019. A company now cannot issue restricted securities unless the constitution is amended to include the wording below. Given the Company is already admitted to the official list of ASX, the circumstances in which the Company may issue restricted securities is limited, and would most likely relate to transactions requiring approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 or if the Company was required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules because of the application of ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3 (i.e. a significant change to the Company’s nature or scale of activities).

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions of the existing Constitution. The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature.

The Directors believe these amendments are neither material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Memorandum, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below in section 9.2.

A copy of the proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

6.2 Summary of Material Proposed Changes

Dividends (clause 11)

Section 254T of the Corporations Act was amended effective 28 June 2010.

There is now a three-tiered test that a company will need to satisfy before paying a dividend replacing the previous test that dividends may only be paid out of profits.

The amended requirements provide that a company must not pay a dividend unless:

  • a. the company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend;

  • b. the payment of the dividend is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole; and

  • c. the payment of the dividend does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors.

The Proposed Constitution is updated to reflect the new requirements of the Corporations Act. The Directors consider it appropriate to update the Constitution for this amendment to allow more flexibility in the payment of dividends in the future should the Company be in a position to pay dividends.

Partial (proportional) takeover provisions (clause 4.13)

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.

Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption or last renewal of the clause.

Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act

Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.

16

Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (i) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;

  • (ii) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;

  • (iii) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and

  • (iv) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (i) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;

  • (ii) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and

  • (iii) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.

Unmarketable Parcels (clause 2.10)

Clause 2.10 of the Constitution outlines how the Company can manage shareholdings which represent an “unmarketable parcel” of shares, being a shareholding that is less than $500 based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at the relevant time.

The Proposed Constitution is in line with the requirements for dealing with “unmarketable parcels” outlined in the Corporations Act such that where the Company elects to undertake a sale of unmarketable parcels, the Company is only required to give one notice to holders of an unmarketable parcel to elect to retain their shareholding before the unmarketable parcel can be dealt with by the Company, saving time and administrative costs incurred by otherwise having to send out additional notices.

Clause 2.10 of the Proposed Constitution continues to outline in detail the process that the Company must follow for dealing with unmarketable parcels.

Fee for registration of off market transfers (clause 4.4)

In 2011, ASX amended ASX Listing Rule 8.14 with the effect that the Company may now charge a “reasonable fee” for registering paper-based transfers, sometimes referred to as “off-market transfers”.

Clause 7.4 of the Proposed Constitution enables the Company to charge a reasonable fee when it is required to register off-market transfers from Shareholders. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its fraud detection practices specific to off-market transfers.

Before charging any fee, the Company is required to notify ASX of the fee to be charged and provide sufficient information to enable ASX to assess the reasonableness of the proposed amount.

Restricted Securities (clause 2.9)

The Company shall comply in all respects with the requirements of the Listing Rules with respect to Restricted Securities. Without limiting the generality of the above:

17

  • a. a holder of Restricted Securities must not dispose of, or agree or offer to dispose of, the securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX;

  • b. if the Restricted Securities are in the same class as quoted securities, the holder will be taken to have agreed in writing that the Restricted Securities are to be kept on the Company’s issuer sponsored subregister and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the escrow period applicable to those securities.

  • c. the Company will refuse to acknowledge any disposal (including, without limitation, to registering any transfer), assignment or transfer of Restricted Securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;

  • d. a holder of Restricted Securities will not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX; and

if a holder of Restricted Securities breaches a restriction deed or a provision of this Constitution restricting a disposal of those securities, the holder will not be entitled to any dividend or distribution, or to exercise any voting rights, in respect of those securities for so long as the breach continues.

6.3 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provision in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

RESOLUTIONS 7 – 9 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS

7.1 Background

The Company proposes to issue Options to Directors Robert Kirtlan, Peter Voulgaris, Mark Wallace (or their nominee(s)).

Total 60,000,000

The primary purpose of the grant of the above Options to the Directors is to motivate and reward their performance as Directors of the Company. Having considered the alternatives to an issue of Options (such as a higher cashbased component of remuneration), the Board considers that the grant of the Options is an effective way to remunerate the Directors for their services as the Options issued to each director preserves the Company’s cash resources.

The Board discussed and resolved in April 2020, to issue Options to Directors at a $0.005 strike price when the Company’s share price was $0.002 (a 150% premium). At the time, the value per Option to be issued was only $0.0009 compared to the current value of $0.0047 per Option.

In determining the number, value and term of the Options to be granted, the Board considered:

  • (a) the responsibilities involved in Mr Kirtlan’s position as Chair of the Company and his experience and knowledge;

  • (b) the responsibilities involved in Mr Wallace’s position as a non-Executive Director, and his experience and knowledge;

18

  • (c) the responsibilities involved in Mr Voulgaris’ position as a non-Executive Director, and his experience and knowledge;

  • (d) that it aligns remuneration with the future growth and prospects of Renegade and the interests of Shareholders by encouraging Director share ownership;

  • (e) what it considered to be an appropriate assessment of the overall reasonable remuneration for Directors for an organisation of the Company’s size and geographical location;

  • (f) the issue of options in lieu of cash payments preserves the Company’s cash resources and reduces ongoing costs; and

  • (g) the significant contribution that the Directors are likely to have to the Company’s success.

The Options will be exercisable and have the expiry dates as set out in the table above. The Options will not be listed on the ASX. The full terms of the Options are set out in Schedule 2 , of this Explanatory Memorandum.

7.2 Corporations Act requirements

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits an Australian public company from providing a financial benefit to a related party unless a specific statutory exception applies or prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit. A related party under the Corporations Act includes all directors of a public company. “financial benefit” has a wide meaning and includes the issue of securities by a public company to a director. The issue of Options to Messrs Kirtlan, Wallace and Voulgaris amounts to the provision of a “financial benefit” to a related party.

One of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act applies where the financial benefit constitutes part of the related party’s “reasonable remuneration”.

The Board (other than Mr Kirtlan who was not able to consider the matter due to his interest in the issue of the Options to himself) considers that the issue of the Options to Mr Kirtlan constitutes part of Mr Kirtlan’s remuneration as Chair of the Company and to give this remuneration is reasonable given the circumstances of both the Company and Mr Kirtlan. Accordingly, the Board (excluding Mr Kirtlan) has decided that Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of the options to Mr Kirtlan.

The Board (other than Mr Wallace who was not able to consider the matter due to his interest in the issue of the Options to himself) considers that the issue of the Options to Mr Wallace constitutes part of Mr Wallace’s remuneration as an officer of the Company and to give this remuneration is reasonable given the circumstances of both the Company and Mr Wallace (including the responsibilities involved in the office that Mr Wallace holds as a non-executive Director of the Company). Accordingly, the Board (excluding Mr Wallace) has decided that Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of the options to Mr Wallace.

The Board (other than Mr Voulgaris who was not able to consider the matter due to his interest in the issue of the Options to himself) considers that the issue of the Options to Mr Voulgaris constitutes part of Mr Voulgaris’ remuneration as an officer of the Company and to give this remuneration is reasonable given the circumstances of both the Company and Mr Voulgaris (including the responsibilities involved in the office that Mr Voulgaris holds as a non-executive Director of the Company). Accordingly, the Board (excluding Mr Voulgaris) has decided that Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of the options to Mr Voulgaris.

It is the view of the Directors that the issue of Options to Directors under Resolutions 7 - 9 fall under the arms’ length exception in Section 210 of the Corporations Act and accordingly, Shareholder approval is only being sought under Listing Rule 10.11 and approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

7.3 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:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) 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;

19

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Section 7.3(a) to 7.3(c); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Sections 6.3(a) to Section 6.3(d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains shareholder approval.

The issue of the Options to Messrs Kirtlan, Wallace & Voulgaris (or their nominees) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, as they are all a related party to the Company, and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. The Company therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 7 seeks the requisite Shareholder approval to issue Options to Mr Robert Kirtlan (or his nominee) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 8 seeks the requisite Shareholder approval to issue Options to Mr Mark Wallace (or his nominee) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 9 seeks the requisite Shareholder approval to issue Options to Mr Peter Voulgaris (or his nominee) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolutions 7 to 9 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options to Messrs Kirtlan, Wallace & Voulgaris (or their nominees) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the Company may issue the Shares without using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 7 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Options to Messrs Kirtlan, Wallace & Voulgaris (or their respective nominees).

7.4 Listing Rule Notice Requirements

Listing Rule 10.13 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a Notice sent to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 and the following information is included in this Explanatory Memorandum for that purpose:

  • (a) the Options will be granted to Messrs Kirtlan, Wallace & Voulgaris (or their respective nominees), who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, by virtue of them being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Options to be granted pursuant to Resolutions 7 - 9 is 65,000,000, comprising:

  • (i) 30,000,000 Options to Robert Kirtlan;

  • (ii) 25,000,000 Options to Mark Wallace; and

  • (iii) 5,000,000 Options to Peter Voulgaris;

  • (c) the deemed issue price of the Options is as noted in Table 1 above;

  • (d) the exercise price of the Options is as noted in Table 1;

  • (e) the Directors current remuneration package is:

    • (i) Robert Kirtlan – $78,000

    • (ii) Mark Wallace - $36,000

    • (iii) Peter Voulgaris - $24,000

  • (f) the Options will be allotted and granted on a date which will be no later than 1 month after the date of the meeting;

  • (g) the Options will not rank equally with other fully paid Shares until they are exercised;

  • (h) the exercise price and other terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum;

20

  • (i) the Options will be granted for no consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised by the grant of the Options;

  • (j) the purpose of the issue of the Options is to provide Robert Kirtlan, Mark Wallace and Peter Voulgaris with a reward for their performance as directors, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to them; and

  • (k) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

7.5 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors do not make any recommendation with respect to the issue of Options as such recommendation regarding the remuneration of the Directors of the Company may be a conflict of interest (as set out in ASIC guidance set out on page 25 of ASIC Regulatory Guide 76).

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote any undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 7 - 9.

8. RESOLUTIONS 10 - 11 – APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS

8.1 General

Resolutions 10 and 11 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 5,000,000 Options for nil cash consideration to Company Secretary, Graeme Smith (Resolution 10) and up to 5,000,000 Options for nil cash consideration to Consultant, Ben Vallerine (Resolution 11).

The Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1, which will allow the it to issue the Options 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 under Listing Rule 7.1.

8.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 10 and 11 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Option issues. In addition, the issue of the Options 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 Resolutions 10 and 11 are not passed the Company will still be able to proceed with the Option issues at this point in time however the issue will use part of the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolutions 10 and 11 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the Option issue.

8.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 10 and 11:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING PROXY FORM

  1. ( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  2. ( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

( Signing instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  • ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
