5 Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Remuneration Report is detailed on pages 31 to 44 of the Annual Report and is available on the Company's website at https://www.roxresources.com.au/.
The Remuneration Report sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.
The Board is committed to an appropriately structured remuneration framework, underpinned by guiding remuneration principles, focused on driving a performance culture over the short, medium and long term to deliver satisfactory returns to Shareholders.
The Remuneration Report:
- (a) sets out the components of executive and non-executive director's remuneration, including any associated performance conditions (if any);
- (b) defines the Company's remuneration objectives and structure for fixed and variable short and long term remuneration frameworks; and
- (c) confirms the remuneration of non-executive directors and chief executive officer for the year ended 30 June 2023.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the Managing Director (if applicable) if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more (Strike) at two consecutive annual general meetings.
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
The Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2022 annual general meeting. Please note if the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at the Meeting and if a second Strike is received at the 2024 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chairperson will allow reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or comment on the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
If the Chairperson is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairperson is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairperson with an express authorisation for the Chairperson to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairperson's intention, even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

As detailed in Section 3.1, the Company has issued 25,677,800 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share under the Tranche 1 Placement (Tranche 1 Placement Shares).
All 25,677,800 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 29 August 2023 without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
8.2 Listing Rule 7.1A and 7.4
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 (15% Placement Capacity).
In addition to its 15% Placement Capacity, the Company has obtained Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2022 annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the Company's 2022 annual general meeting, without needing prior Shareholder approval (10% Placement Capacity).
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A) those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval, to the extent of 25,677,800 Equity Securities, during the next 12 months.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, 25,677,800 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 10% Placement Capacity for the 12 month period following the issue date, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval.
8.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

9 Resolutions 5 and 6 – Issue of Shares to Substantial Shareholders (and/or their respective nominee(s)) under the Tranche 2 Placement
9.1 General
Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes) to issue (in aggregate) up to 8,722,200 Shares to substantial Shareholders of the Company, being Hawke's Point and VMC (and/or their respective nominee(s)) (Substantial Shareholders) under the Tranche 2 Placement, (together, the Tranche 2 Placement Shares). The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be offered at the same issue price as the Shares under the Placement (being $0.20 per Share), to raise up to $1,744,440 (before costs).
Refer to Section 3.1 for further details of the Placement.
The Company is proposing to issue:
- (a) 7,472,200 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Hawke's Point (and/or its nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 5; and
- (b) 1,250,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to VMC (and/or its nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 6.
The Substantial Shareholders are parties falling within Listing Rule 10.11, because each Substantial Shareholder was, at any time in the last six months, a substantial holder of 10% or more in the Company and who have each nominated a Director to the Board.
The issues of the relevant Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 and are therefore conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 5 and 6).
Hawke's Point currently has a Relevant Interest in 8.8% of the total Shares on issue (prior to the issue of Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement). However, Hawke's Point was a substantial (10%+) holder during the majority of the last six months, and has nominated Mr Robert Ryan as a Director of the Company. If Resolution 5 is passed, Hawke's Point's Relevant Interest in Shares would increase to approximately 9.99% of all Shares on an undiluted basis (excluding the impact of any other issues of securities in the Company or other acquisitions or disposals of Relevant Interest by Hawke's Point or its associates).
VMC currently has a Relevant Interest in 16.67% of the total Shares on issue (prior to the issue of Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement), and has nominated Mr Matthew Hogan as a Director of the Company. If Resolution 6 is passed, VMC's Relevant Interest in Shares would reduce to approximately 16.58% of all Shares on an undiluted basis (excluding the impact of any other issues of securities in the Company or other acquisitions or disposals of Relevant Interest by VMC or its associates).
Resolutions 5 and 6 are ordinary resolutions.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 5 and 6.
9.2 Listing Rule 10.11

- (a) a related party;
- (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six 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 six 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); or

It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 5 or 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the relevant Substantial Shareholder (and/or its nominee(s)), and the Company will not be able to raise funds from issuing Tranche 2 Placement Shares to that Substantial Shareholder and may seek to raise them from alternate investors.

11 Resolution 10 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
11.1 General
As detailed in Section 8.2, Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities equal to 10% of its issued capital without using that company's existing 15% Placement Capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
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 market capitalisation equal to or less than A$300,000,000.
As at the date of the Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately A$81.0 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 4 October 2023). If on the date of the Meeting, the Company's market capitalisation exceeds A$300,000,000 or the Company has been included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, then Resolution 10 will no longer be effective and must be withdrawn.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 11.2(c)).
If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting, in addition to the Company's 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Capacity 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 under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 10 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).
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 10.
11.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity 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 quoted classes of Equity Securities, being Shares.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Capacity
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that Eligible Entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
- (A) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
- (B) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
- (I) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
- (II) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(C) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
- (I) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
- (II) the agreement was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(D) plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(E) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
(F) less the number of Shares 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 Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.
(d) 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 the Notice, the Company has on issue 360,032,060 Shares and, subject to Resolutions 4 to 9 (inclusive) being approved by Shareholders, therefore has a capacity to issue:
- (i) 53,903,139 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
- (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 10, 36,935,426 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 (refer to Section 11.2(c)).
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 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 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Capacity 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 Shareholder approval 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),
(the 10% Placement Period).
11.3 Effect of Resolution
The effect of Resolution 10 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.
11.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:
- (a) the Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 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 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued;
- (b) if Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of listed Options, only if the listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:
- (i) 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
- (ii) 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,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities;
- (c) 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 13 October 2023;

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(ii) No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Capacity) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(iii) 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%.
-
(iv) 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.
-
(v) 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.
-
(vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.
-
(vii) The issue price is $0.225, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 13 October 2023;
-
(e) the Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 10 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking);
-
(f) the Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company's current assets and/or general working capital;
-
(g) the Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities;
-
(h) the Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the subscribers of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
- (i) 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;
- (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
- (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable);
-
(i) the subscribers under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company;
-
(j) in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting the Company has issued a total of 25,677,800 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which represents approximately 7.13% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at 13 October 2023. Details of each issue of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 are set out below:

No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
11.5 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.
12 Resolution 11 – Renewal of Proportional Takeover Provisions
12.1 General
Section 648G(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company's proportional takeover provisions, unless sooner omitted from its constitution, cease to apply at the end of three years from adoption or renewal as appropriate unless otherwise specified.
Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval to renew the proportional takeover provisions in clause 11 of the Constitution (Proportional Takeover Provisions). The Proportional Takeover Provisions provides that 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.
The Constitution (including the Proportional Takeover Provisions) was adopted on 19 November 2020. Accordingly, the Proportional Takeover Provisions included in the Constitution will cease to have effect on 19 November 2023 (being three years from the date of adoption) unless renewed by a special resolution of Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors request that Shareholders approve the renewal of the Proportional Takeover Provisions for a further three years from the date of the Meeting.
Resolution 11 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to modify its Constitution by renewing clause 11 for a period of three years from the date of Shareholder approval.
12.2 Specific information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act
The following information in relation to Resolution 11 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval.
(a) Effect of the 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.
The effect of the Proportional Takeover Provisions is that in the event a proportional takeover bid is made, the Directors must ensure that a general meeting is held more than 14 days before the last day of the bid period for the purpose of allowing Shareholders to vote on the resolution approving the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under the proportional bid (Approving Resolution).
Each Shareholder will have one vote for each bid Share that the Shareholder holds. The bidder and its associates are not allowed to vote on the Approving Resolution.
If the Approving Resolution is not passed, transfers which would have resulted from the acceptance of a bid will not be registered and the bid will be taken to have been withdrawn.
The bid will be taken to have been approved if the Approving Resolution is not voted on within the deadline specified under the Corporations Act. However, the Directors will breach the Corporations Act if they fail to ensure the Approving Resolution is voted on.
If the bid is approved (or taken to have been approved), the transfers must be registered if they comply with the Corporations Act and the Constitution.
(b) Reasons for renewing the 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.
(c) Knowledge of any acquisition proposals
As at the date of the Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
(d) Potential advantages and disadvantages of Proportional Takeover Provisions
The Board 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.
12.3 Board Recommendation
The Board 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 Provisions set out in clause 11 of the Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.
