NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Notice is hereby given that the annual general meeting of shareholders of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL (“Company”) will be held at the offices of ShineWing Australia, 10[t h] Floor Conference Rooms, 530 Collins Street, Melbourne Victoria 3000, 22 November 2016 at 10:00 am (Melbourne time).
The Explanatory Memorandum which accompanies and forms part of this “Notice of Annual General Meeting” describes the various matters to be considered at the annual general meeting.
AGENDA
ORDINARY BUSINESS
Item 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
“To receive and consider the Company's annual report comprising the Directors' Report, Auditor's Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016.”
The electronic version of the annual report can be found at:
Rimfire Pacific Mining NL website www.rimfire.com.au/asx_news and reports/annual reports/2016;
ASX website at http://www.asx.com.au/asx/research/company.do#!/RIM.
To consider, and if thought fit, pass the following resolutions, with or without amendment, as ordinary resolutions of the Company.
Item 2 - Resolution 1: REMUNERATION REPORT
“To adopt the Remuneration Report for the Year ended 30 June 2016.”
Short explanation
The Corporations Act 2001 requires listed companies to put to shareholders at the AGM a non-binding resolution concerning the Remuneration Report which is contained in the Directors’ Report section of the Annual Report.
Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions concerning the Remuneration Report at the AGM. As stated, the resolution is non-binding.
Voting Exclusion Statement
In accordance with the ASX guidelines for resolutions pertaining to the Remuneration Report, the Company will disregard any votes cast on this resolution by Key Management Personnel (KMP) and closely related parties to KMP. All Executive and Non-Executive Directors are considered KMP for the purposes of this resolution.
However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
(a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
-
(b) it is cast by KMP or the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides. The Chairman may vote on this resolution, as a proxy for the person who is entitled to vote on this resolution, whether or not the shareholder voting form directs how the proxy is to vote, provided the shareholder voting form expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy (even though the resolution is connected with the remuneration of the KMP of the Company, including the Chairman).
2
Item 3 – Resolution 2: ELECTION OF DIRECTOR IAN McCUBBING
“That Mr Ian McCubbing, who was appointed by the Board of Directors during the year, and being eligible offers himself for election, be elected as a Director”.
Item 4 - Resolution 3: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR RAMONA ENCONNIERE
“That Ms Ramona Enconniere, who retires by rotation in accordance with Clause 13.2 of the Company’s constitution, and being eligible offers herself for re-election, be re-elected as a Director”.
Short explanation – Resolutions 2 and 3
The Company’s Constitution requires one third of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) to retire at each Annual General Meeting, being the Directors longest in office at the date of the Annual General Meeting. Ms Enconniere must therefore retire and has offered herself for re-election.
In addition, a Director appointed by the Board of Directors during the year, must retire at the next AGM and place him or herself before the AGM for election as a Director. Mr McCubbing must therefore retire and offers himself for election.
The details of all Directors are set out in the Directors’ Report section of the Annual Report.
SPECIAL BUSINESS
To consider and, if thought fit, pass the following resolutions, with or without amendment:
Item 5 – Resolution 4: ORDINARY RESOLUTION - RATIFICATION OF PLACEMENT TO INVESTORS
“That pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the Company approves and ratifies the issue and allotment of 78,059,524 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.021 per share in the capital of the Company in August/September 2016 to the entities described in Item 5 - Resolution 4, schedule A, of the Explanatory Memorandum.”
Short explanation- Resolution 4
The Board of Rimfire is allowed to issue up to 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval each 12 months. The shares described above were issued without shareholder approval and were within this limit. Under the Listing Rules, Rimfire can seek shareholder ratification of an issue made within the 15% limit, and, if given, the effect of the ratification is to deem that the shares issued were issued with shareholder approval, meaning that, from the date of the approval, the Board is again able to issue up to a further 15% of the issued capital without shareholder approval.
The purpose of this resolution is to seek this ratification for the placement completed by the Company in August/September 2016. Further details of the shares issued are set out in the attached Explanatory Memorandum.
3
Voting Exclusion Statement
In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will disregard any votes cast on this resolution by a recipient of the shares, in schedule A, to which this resolution relates as described in the Explanatory Memorandum, and any associate of a recipient.
However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
(a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
-
(b) it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides (and the acknowledgment box on the proxy form in relation to this resolution is marked).
Item 6 – Resolution 5: SPECIAL RESOLUTION - APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
“That, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A and for all other purposes, approval is given for the issue of Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company at the time of issue, calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement.”

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of members of Rimfire Pacific Mining NL ABN 59 006 911 744 (“Rimfire” or “Company”) in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of members to be held on 22[n d] November 2016 at 10:00am (“Meeting”).
The Notice of Meeting sets out the details of three (3) separate resolutions to be put to Shareholders as Ordinary Business and two (2) resolution as Special Business if necessary, comprising the following:
Ordinary Business
-
Resolution 1 (Item 2) seeks the approval to adopt the Remuneration Report as it appears in the 2016 Annual Report. The resolution is non-binding on the Company;
-
Resolution 2 (Item 3) seeks the election Mr Ian McCubbing as a Director of the Company;
-
Resolution 3 (Item 4) seeks the re-election Ms Ramona Enconniere as a Director of the Company;
Special Business
-
Resolution 4 (Item 5) seeks the ratification of a placement to investors;
-
Resolution 5 (Item 6) seeks the approval of a 10% placement capacity.
Resolutions 1, 2 & 3 are standard for an Annual General Meeting of a Company. However, additional background is provided for Resolutions 1, 4 & 5 given the implications for these resolutions under legislation and regulations.
1. BACKGROUND FOR RESOLUTION 1 (ITEM 2) – REMUNERATION REPORT ADOPTION
An important point in relation to the resolution for the adoption of the remuneration report is the ability of shareholders to “spill” the Company’s board following “two strikes” against the adoption of the remuneration report at two successive AGMs.
In summary, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the remuneration report are voted against adopting the remuneration report, at the 2016 AGM, and then again at the Company's 2017 AGM, the Company will be required to put to shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of new Directors to the Company (Spill Resolution).
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the Company's 2017 AGM. All of the Directors who are in office when the Company's 2017 Directors' Report is approved, other than the Managing Director, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting, but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting, each person whose election or re-election as a Director is approved, will become a Director of the Company.
Specific comments relating to Resolutions 4 and 5 are set out below.
2. RESOLUTION 4 (ITEM 5) – RATIFICATION OF PLACEMENT TO INVESTORS
2.1. Summary of proposal
As announced to the market, in August/September 2016 the Company completed a Share Placement, whereby 78,059,524 fully paid ordinary shares were completed to investors. The total capital that was raised before costs was approximately $1.6 million and this is to be used for general working capital and exploration activity purposes.
6
2.2. Listing Rule requirements
- (a) ASX LISTING RULE 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 enables the Company to ratify an issue of shares made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 if:
-
(i) the issue of shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) shareholders subsequently approve the issue of those shares by the Company.
(b) ASX LISTING RULE 7.5
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 lists information which must be contained in the Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum where shareholders will consider a resolution pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4. This information is set out below:
-
(i) The number of securities allotted: the Company allotted 78,059,524 fully paid ordinary shares.
-
(ii) The issue price of the securities: the issue price of the shares was $0.021 per share. (iii) The names of the allottees: this information is set out in schedule A.
-

3. RESOLUTION 5 (ITEM 6) – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
3.1. General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval by Special Resolution at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital (10% Placement Capacity).
The Company is an Eligible Entity.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 3.2 below).
The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities representing up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period of up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting or by proxy must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.
3.2. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300m.
7
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation less than $300m.
Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: RIM).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
D is 10%.
- E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
3.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 5:
a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 3.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid (10% Placement Capacity Period).
8
c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
| Number of Shares on issue (Variable 'A' in ASX ListingRule 7.1A2) |
Dilution | Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price (per Share) |
1.00 cent 50% discount in Issue Price |
2.0 cents Issue Price |
4.0 cents 100% increase in Issue Price |

| Funds raised | $1,836,184 | $3,672,368 | $7,344,736 |
*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 918,091,963 Shares on issue, which includes the 78,059,524 Shares for which Shareholder ratification is sought pursuant to Resolution 5.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on the 12[t h] October 2016.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
9
-
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%.
-
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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets, additional optimisation of enhanced definitive feasibility study, project financing, ongoing project administration, acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition) and general working capital; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the noncash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
10
(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company has not previously sought approval from Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and therefore there have not been any shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the twelve month period since the date of the last Meeting.
(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:
-
(i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
(ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
3.4 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 5.
