VOTING INFORMATION, EXCLUSIONS AND PROHIBITIONS

The business of the Meeting affects your Shareholding and your vote is important.

Voting exclusions and voting restriction in relation to Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of this Resolution by Mr Aharon Zaetz and Mendel Rogatsky and any of their respective Associates.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:

  • a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the Resolution in that way; or

  • the Chair of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair of the Meeting to vote on the Resolution as the Chair of the Meeting decides; or

  • a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an Associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and

  • the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

Further, in accordance with the Corporations Act, a vote must not be cast on this Resolution (and will be taken not to have been cast if cast contrary to this restriction) by a member of the Key Management Personnel, and any Closely Related Party of such a member, acting as proxy if their appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on this Resolution. However, the member of the Key Management Personnel or any Closely Related Party of such a member may vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on this Resolution or by a person who is the Chair of the Meeting at which this Resolution is voted on and the appointment expressly authorises the Chair of the Meeting to exercise the proxy even if this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a Key Management Personnel.

Important information concerning proxy votes on Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4

The Corporations Act places certain restrictions on the ability of Key Management Personnel and their closely related parties to vote on the Resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel.

Additionally, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 by any person appointed as a proxy by any person who is either a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of such a member, unless:

  • (a) it is cast by the person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with directions on the proxy form; or

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

For these reasons, Shareholders who intend to vote by proxy should carefully consider the identity of their proxy and are encouraged to direct their proxy as to how to vote on all Resolutions. In particular, Shareholders who intend to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy (including an appointment by default) are encouraged to direct the Chair of the Meeting as to how to vote on all Resolutions.

If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as your proxy, you can direct the Chair of the Meeting to vote for, against or abstain from voting on Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 by marking the box opposite the respective Resolution on the Proxy Form. You should direct the Chair of the Meeting how to vote on these Resolutions.

However, if the Chair of the Meeting is your proxy and you do not direct the Chair of the Meeting how to vote in respect of Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the Proxy Form, you will be deemed to have directed and expressly authorised the Chair of the Meeting to vote your proxy in favour of the relevant Resolution. This express authorisation acknowledged that the Chair of the Meeting may vote your proxy even if:

  • (a) Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member or members of the Key Management Personnel for the Company; and

  • (b) the Chair of the Meeting has an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 and that votes cast by the Chair of the Meeting for these Resolutions, other than as authorised proxy holder, will be disregarded because of that interest.

Voting, Attendance Entitlement and proxy

A Member who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting and who wishes to vote on the Resolutions contained in this Notice should either attend in person at the time, date and place of the Meeting set out above or appoint a proxy or proxies to attend or vote on the Member’s behalf.

A Member who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting and who wishes to vote on the Resolutions contained in this Notice should appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to attend and vote on the Member’s behalf. The Company encourages shareholders to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy.

Shareholders are encouraged to lodge their Proxy Forms online at https://investor.automic.com.au/#/loginsah.

In completing the attached Proxy Form, Members must be aware that where the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as their proxy, they will be directing the Chair of the Meeting to vote in accordance with the Chair of the Meeting’s voting intention unless you indicate otherwise by marking the “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” boxes. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each item of business. Members should note that they are entitled to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as a proxy with a direction to cast the votes contrary to the Chair of the Meeting’s voting intention, or to abstain from voting, on any Resolution in the Proxy Form. Also, Members may appoint, as their proxy, a person other than the Chair of the Meeting.

A proxy need not be a Member of the Company. For the convenience of Members, a Proxy Form is enclosed. A Member who is entitled to attend and cast two or more votes is entitled to appoint two proxies. Where two proxies are appointed, each appointment may specify the proportion or number of voting rights each proxy may exercise. If the Member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half of the votes able to be cast by the appointing Member.

GENERAL MEETING - EXPLANATORY NOTES

These Explanatory Notes accompanying this Notice of Meeting are incorporated in and comprise part of this Notice of Meeting, and should be read in conjunction with this Notice of Meeting.

If any Shareholder is in doubt as to how they should vote, they should seek advice from their legal, financial or other professional adviser prior to voting.

Introduction

These Explanatory Notes have been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be considered at the General Meeting of the Company. The Directors recommend Shareholders read these Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Terms defined in the Notice of Meeting have the same meaning in these Explanatory Notes.

GENERAL BUSINESS

Resolution 1, 2, 3 and 4: Issue of Remuneration Shares and Director Options to Participating Directors

Background

Mr Aharon Zaetz and Mr Mendel Rogatsky (together the Participating Directors ) are Executive Directors of the Company with responsibility for the management and oversight of the Company’s operations. The Remuneration of the Participating Directors comprises a base remuneration component and other cash benefits. For the purpose of remunerating the Participating Directors based on their experience and the significant requirement to preserve cash, the Board has determined to settle their remuneration via the issue of Equity Securities as well as an incentive based component to their remuneration package. The Participating Directors have been invited by the board of the Company to receive up to Remuneration Shares and Director Options if approved by Members at this Meeting.

Reason for approval – Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a director, or their Associate, may not acquire Equity Securities without the prior approval of shareholders.

Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the issue of up to 175,000,000 Remuneration Shares and up to 180,000,000 Director Options to each of the Participating Directors (or their nominee(s)) on the terms set out below. If approval of the issue of the Remuneration Shares and Director Options is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of Remuneration Shares and Director Options to the Participating Directors will therefore not be included in the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

If Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 are approved, then the Participating Directors (or their nominee/s) will receive the relevant Remuneration Shares and Director Options.

If Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 are not approved, no Remuneration Shares and Director Options will be issued to the Participating Directors (or their nominee/s). Further, the Participating Directors will be paid their remuneration via cash payment.

Issue of Remuneration Shares and Director Options to Participating Directors

Upon approval at this Meeting, the Company intends to issue 350,000,000 Remuneration Shares in total to the Participating Directors in lieu of cash compensation for Executive Director fees amounting to a gross amount of $350,000 per annum. The Company will settle the outstanding fees for a 12 month period commencing on the appointment date (approximately 1 December 2023) for each of the Participating Directors. The Company will issue 350,000,000 Remuneration Shares to the Participating Directors being $350,000 executive Directors fees in table 1 below based on an RML share price of $0.002. The number of Remuneration Shares that will be issued will settle the first 12 months of the Participating Director’s entitlements. In the event that the Participating Director resigns prior to six months of service (prior to 1 June 2024), the director will purchase the unearned amount in RML shares at a price of $0.002 per share. Each Participating Director is entitled to six months’ termination payment and the Remuneration Shares are intended to settle any component of this amount in the event that the Participating Director resigns from the Board prior to 1 December 2024 (being approximately 12 months from their appointment). The issue price of $0.002 per Share has been used to determine the number of Shares to be issued. In the event that the Company would seek to settle the executive director remuneration via cash payment, it would be required to raise funds at a price that is a discount to its current market price of $0.003. The Company has sought broker input regarding at what price it could currently raise funds, noting that a price of approximately $0.002, with attaching options, would be required to attract investor interest.

Upon approval at this Meeting, the Company also intends to issue 180,000,000 Director Options to each of the Participating Directors within 20 business days of the Meeting. The Director Options will have an exercise price of 200% of the RML share price prior to the date of issue and expiry of five years from the date of issue.

The Company will not issue the Remuneration Shares and Director Options later than 1 month after the Meeting.

The Company advises that there are no loans provided to the Participating Directors (or their nominee/s) in relation to the issue of the Remuneration Shares and Director Options.

Issue Price and Exercise Price

The Remuneration Shares are issued at a price of $0.002 per Share as settlement of the net salary to be settled via Share issue representing the cash saving to the Company in lieu of payment of Director remuneration. There are no funds raised upon issue of the Director Options as they are issued for nil consideration. Each Director Option issued to the Participating Directors (or their nominee/s) will have an exercise price of 200% of the RML share price prior to the date of issue.

The issue of Remuneration Shares will further result in dilution of 27.8%. If all of the Options granted to the Participating Directors are exercised, then a total of 360,000,000 new Shares would be issued resulting in further dilution of 28.6%. The issue of Remuneration Shares and Options will increase the number of Shares on issue from 1,259,996,807 to 1,969,996,807 (assuming that no other Shares are issued and that Options are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 56.3% in total.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options will affect the value of the perceived benefit given to the Directors.

Corporations Act

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a Related Party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the Related Party.

The Directors are Directors so are Related Parties of the Company. In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a Related Party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Remuneration Shares and Director Options, pursuant to Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. Shareholder approval must nonetheless be obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and ASX Listing Rule 10.14. The Remuneration Shares and Director Options which are proposed to be issued are considered by the Board to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

ASX Listing Rules Disclosure

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders when seeking an approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11:

  • (a) the Remuneration Shares and Director Options will be issued to nominees or Associates of the Participating Directors in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.1 or Listing Rule 10.11.4 (Associates);

  • (b) the number of Remuneration Shares to be issued is up to a total of 350,000,000 and the number of Director Options to be issued is up to a total of 360,000,000;

  • (c) the key terms of the Director Options are described in detail above and full terms of Director Options are included in Appendix 1;

  • (d) the Remuneration Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares in RML;

  • (e) the Company will undertake a valuation of the Director Options using the Black Scholes valuation method if approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, similar to other directors as disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report. If all Director Options were currently vested, then each Director Option would convert into one (1) Share in the Company and would currently be valued at 0.3 cents per Share (closing Share price on 12 January 2024);

  • (f) the Remuneration Shares are valued at $0.002, being the price at which the net director remuneration is settled via issue of Shares;

  • (g) the issue of the Remuneration Shares, the subject of Resolutions 1 and 3, and Director Options, the subject of Resolutions 2 and 4, will occur as soon as practicable after the Meeting and in any event 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);

  • (h) the Director Options will be issued for no cash consideration an exercise price of 200% of the RML share price prior to the date of issue is payable on the exercise of Director Options; and

  • (i) no funds will be raised upon the issue of Options and the Company will effectively raise the net salary to be settled via the issue of Shares as detailed in table 1 above in lieu of payment of cash salary.

Board Recommendation

The Participating Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 due to their material personal interest in the outcome of those Resolutions should Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 be passed.

With the exception of the issue of Remuneration Shares and Options to Mr Zaetz in respect of Resolutions 1 and 2 and M Rogatsky in respect of Resolutions 3 and 4, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions as they relate to the other Participating Directors. The Directors (other than in respect of Remuneration Shares and Options that relate to themselves) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 for the following reasons:

  • the issue of Remuneration Shares and Director Options to the Participating Directors will better align the interests of the Participating Directors with those of Shareholders;

  • the issue of the Remuneration Shares is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would, if cash payments were given to the Participating Directors under their employment arrangements; and

  • it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in the issue of Remuneration Shares or Options on the terms proposed.

In forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of the Participating Directors, the skills the Participating Directors bring to the Company and the current market price of Shares when determining the number of Remuneration Shares and Options to be issued.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4.

If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY

You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Proxy Voting Form, contact Automic Registry Services.
