Explanatory Statement

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

1. Annual Report

Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report at the Meeting. The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Annual Report is available on its website at https://www.rinconresources.com.au

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report. However, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions or make comments about the Annual Report and the management of the Company. Shareholders will also be given an opportunity to ask the auditor questions as permitted by the Corporations Act.

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 remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must 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

Voting consequences

The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its directors. However, the Board will actively consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company’s future remuneration policies and practices.

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors’ report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, 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 those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the adoption of the remuneration report at that meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – David Lenigas

3.1

General

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

All Directors of the Company (other than the Managing Director) were re-elected at the 2022 AGM and have therefore been in office for the same length of time since their last re-election. The Directors have agreed that Mr David Lenigas will retire and stand for re-election at this year’s AGM. Mr Lenigas has served as a director since 13 September 2022 and was last elected on 30 November 2022.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Lenigas is a mining engineer with a West Australian First Class Mine Manager’s Certificate. He has extensive corporate experience at Chairman and Chief Executive Officer level on many of the world’s leading stock exchanges overseeing multiple business sectors. Mr Lenigas has held senior financial and management positions in both publicly listed and private enterprises in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Africa.

Mr Lenigas is currently the Executive Director of Odessa Minerals Ltd (ASX: ODE) and Executive Chairman of Riversgold Ltd (ASX:RGL).

Mr Lenigas was appointed as Executive Chairman of the Company on 13 September 2022.

3.3 Independence

The Board considers that Mr Lenigas is not an independent director because he is an executive director.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board supports the re-election of Mr David Lenigas and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4.

Resolutions 3 to 6 – Issue of Options to Related Parties

4.1 General

Resolutions 3 to 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of a total of 12,000,000 Options, consisting of 3,000,000 Options each to all four Directors (or their respective nominees) (together the Related Parties ) ( Director Options ).

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Director Options constitutes the giving of a financial benefit. Each of the proposed grantees of the Director Options is a related party of the Company by reason of being a Director.

Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 is not required if the financial benefit to be provided to the related party is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length, or are less favourable than those terms.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 is not required if the financial benefit to be provided to the related party is remuneration as an officer or employee of the company and to give remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the company giving the remuneration and the related party’s circumstances (including responsibilities involved in the office or employment).

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is required in respect of the issue of the Director Options to the Related Parties.

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company must not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a ‘material personal interest’ are being considered. The Directors do not have a material personal interest in these Resolutions, other than the Resolution to issue Director Options to himself. However, in the interests of good corporate practice consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 76 (Table 2) for directors to avoid making a recommendation for resolutions about each other’s remuneration as there may be a conflict of interest, the Directors have not considered whether an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these Resolutions, and as it is proposed that Director Options be issued to all Directors, they are unable to form a quorum at Board level to make a determination on whether an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these Resolutions. Therefore, the Board has determined in accordance with section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Options.

4.3 Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX 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;

  • (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 (a) to (c) above; or

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

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

As the issue of the Director Options constitutes the issue of equity securities to directors of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception

applies. It is the view of the Directors that none of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 apply in the current circumstances.

The Company therefore seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. There is a separate Resolution in respect of the issue of Director Options to each individual Director.

4.4 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 ( Placement Capacity ).

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options if approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to each of the Directors, if approved, will not be included in the use of the Company’s Placement Capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

4.5

Effect of the Resolutions

The effect of Resolutions 3 to 6 will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Options to the Director the subject of each Resolution that is passed.

If any or all of Resolutions 3 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Director Options to any proposed recipient of the Director Options in respect of whom the relevant Resolution has not been passed. In that case, the Company may have to consider alternatives in respect of the relevant Director’s remuneration, which may include increasing his cash remuneration.

Resolutions 3 to 6 inclusive are ordinary resolutions. The Resolutions are not inter-conditional.

4.6 Board recommendation

Given the material personal interest of each other Director in the Resolution expressly relevant to him, and in the interests of good corporate practice consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 76 (Table 2) for directors to avoid making a recommendation on resolutions about each other’s remuneration (as there may be a conflict of interest), the Directors do not consider it appropriate to give a recommendation on any of Resolutions 3 to 6.

4.7

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Director Options:

  • (iii) Class C: an exercise price of $0.10;

  • (iv) all Director Options: an expiry date of four years from the date of issue; and

  • (v) otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Director Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules), and it is intended that the Director Options will all be granted on the same date;

  • (f) the Director Options will be issued for nil cash consideration. Accordingly no funds will be raised from the issue;

  • (g) the Director Options are being offered as an incentive-based component of the relevant Director’s remuneration package which is considered a cost-effective remuneration practice and will allow 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. In addition, it is considered that the grant of the Director Options will align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders; and

  • (h) the current total annual remuneration package of each of the Directors for the financial year ending 30 June 2024, each before the issue of the Director Options the subject of Resolutions 3 to 6, is as:

  • (f) the current total annual remuneration package from the Company to the Directors for the financial year ending 30 June 2024 is set out in Section 4.7(h);

  • (g) if the Director Options are granted and are exercised, a total of 12,000,000 Shares would be issued. This would increase the number of Shares on issue from 176,921,092 to 188,921,092 with the effect that the shareholder of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 6.4%, comprising approximately 1.6% for each Director.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether a Director will elect to exercise any Director Options. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

The highest and lowest closing prices of the Shares on ASX during the 12 months preceding the Disclosure Date and the closing price on the Disclosure Date, are set out below:

Price Date
Highest $0.155 9 November 2022
Lowest $0.030 16 August 2023, 18-20 October 2023
Last $0.030 20 October 2023
  • (h) the Board acknowledges the grant of the Director Options to each of Messrs Strang and Sergeant, who are non-executive Directors, is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of the Director Options is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in paragraph (j);

  • (i) the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options is to provide an incentive component in their remuneration package to motivate and reward their performance in their respective roles as Directors;

  • (j) the Directors consider the grant of the Director Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as:

  • (i) 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 alternative cash forms of remuneration were given;

  • (ii) the grant of the Director Options will align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Director Options upon the terms proposed.

In forming their reasoning and determining the quantity of Director Options to be granted each Director considered the experience and role of the Directors, the cash remuneration of the Directors, the price of Shares and the current market practices when determining the number of Director Options to be granted (relative to the prevailing trading price of Shares) and expiry date of those Director Options; and

  • (k) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 3 to 6.

5. Resolution 7 – Issue of Options to employees and consultants

5.1 General

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval to issue a total of 3,750,000 Options to employees and consultants of the Company (or their respective nominee/s).

5.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.4.

5.3 Effect of the Resolution

If Resolution 7 is passed, then the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options to the employees and consultants (or their nominee(s)) during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using up any part of the Company’s Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will need to agree alternative form of compensation with the relevant employees and consultants.

5.4 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

5.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of Options to the employees and consultants (or its nominee(s)):

  • (a) the Options will be issued to certain employees or consultants of the Company (or their nominee(s));

  • (b) the maximum number of Options to be issued is 3,750,000 with an equal number (1,250,000) to be issued in each class;

  • (c) the Options will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Director Options which are set out in Schedule 1;

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

  • (e) the Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Options is as incentives for the continued service by the employees and consultants; and

  • (g) the Options are not being issued pursuant an agreement.

6. Resolution 8 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

6.1 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.

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

An "eligible entity" means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less at the date of the Meeting. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes as at the Disclosure Date (176,921,092 Shares at a Share price of $0.030 being a market capitalisation of $5,307,632.76).

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval ( Additional Issuance Capacity ).

If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the Additional Issuance Capacity and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

The Board considers it is in the Company’s best interests to have the opportunity to take advantage of the flexibility to issue additional securities provided under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice, no decision has been made by the Board to undertake any issue of securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity if Shareholders approve Resolution 8. The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

The information below provides more background on ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and the disclosure required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.

6.2 Description of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Securities which may be issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity

Under the Additional Issuance Capacity, the Company must issue Equity Securities belonging to an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, being fully paid ordinary shares (ASX Code: RCR ).

(b) Minimum issue price

The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the securities in that class,

calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades of securities in that class were recorded immediately before:

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

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

The Company will disclose this information when Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity.

(c) Period for which approval will be valid

Shareholder approval of the Additional Issuance Capacity will be valid for the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting; or

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

  • (iii) if the Company receives Shareholder approval for a proposed transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), the time and date of that approval.

( Additional Issuance Period ).

(d) Dilution risks

If Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders, including the following risks:

  • (i) the market price for Equity Securities in the class of securities issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (that is, the date of the Meeting, if Resolution 8 is approved); and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, based on the number of Shares on issue as at the Disclosure Date.

The table also shows:

  • (i) 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 as described immediately above. The number of ordinary securities on issue may also increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlement offer or securities issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future general meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by

50% and increased by 50% as against the market price as at the Disclosure Date.

----- End of picture text -----*

*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 Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. As at the Disclosure Date there are 176,921,092 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on the Disclosure Date.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. 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.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity consists only of Shares and the consideration provided for those Shares is cash. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  6. 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.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  8. 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%.

(e)

Purpose of issue under Additional Issuance Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity to raise cash to fund the following:

  • (i) general working capital expenses;

  • (ii) activities associated with its current assets;

  • (iii) repayment of debt; or

  • (iv) the acquisition of new assets and investments (including any expenses associated with such an acquisition).

The Company will comply with the disclosure required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4 on issue of any Equity Securities issued pursuant to the approval sought by Resolution 8.

(f)

Allocation policy under Additional Issuance Capacity

The Company's allocation policy and the identity of the recipients of Equity Securities issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of issue and in the Company's discretion.

No decision has been made in relation to an issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity, including whether the Company will engage with new investors or existing Shareholders, and if so the identities of any such persons.

However, when determining the allocation policy and the identity of the recipients, the Company will have regard to the following considerations:

  • (i) prevailing market conditions;

  • (ii) the purpose for the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

  • (iv) impacts of the placement on control;

  • (v) other methods of raising capital; and

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

Recipients may include existing Shareholders or new investors, but not persons who are related parties or associates of related parties of the Company.

(g) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

6.3 Voting exclusion

At the time of dispatching this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity, and a voting exclusion statement is therefore not included in this Notice.
