  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

4.1 General

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company must put a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted to the vote of Shareholders at the Meeting. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors.

The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which 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 Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

4.2 Voting consequences

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, pursuant to the Corporations Act, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more (Strike) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the managing director.

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 (Spill Resolution).

If more than 50% of votes are cast 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 who were in office when the Directors' Report (as included in the Company's financial report for the previous financial year) was 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, those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

4.3 Previous voting results

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2014 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2015 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

4.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should not the following:

(a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) who remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member, as your proxy:

You must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

(b) If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member):

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you will be expressly authorising the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

(c) If you appoint any other person as your proxy:

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Matthew Banks

Clause 6.3(b) of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 provide that a director of an entity (except a managing director) must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer.

Clause 6.3(c) of the Constitution requires that one-third of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number), and Clause 6.3(f) provides that a retiring Director is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has 4 Directors, and accordingly, one must retire.

Under Clause 6.3(e), the Directors to retire at any annual general meeting must be those who have served the longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire must be determined by lot (unless otherwise agreed upon between those Directors).

Pursuant to the above clauses of the Constitution, Mr Matthew Banks retires by rotation, and being eligible, seeks re-election.

Mr Banks has over 12 years' experience specialising in marketing and public relations and more recently in finance. During that time Mr Banks has developed strong relationships with a number of leading public and private companies as well as with high net worth individuals from across a number of industries. He is also an independent director of OTC Markets listed IEG Holdings Corp, a Fintech business in the USA. Since 2005 Mr Banks has been involved in raising capital for a number of listed exploration companies and currently Mr Banks is working full time with a leading finance business which places $400 million of funds per year.

The Board considers that Mr Banks is an independent Director.

The Board (excluding Mr Banks) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1 General

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

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. Based on the ASX closing price on 23 October 2015, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $3.07 million. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 3 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).

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

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

(b) Equity Securities

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

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue three quoted classes of Equity Securities, Shares and two classes of quoted Options.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

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 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
    • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
    • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
    • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;

(D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A 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 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 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 191,774,742 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 28,766,211 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3 19,177,474 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 6.2(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 5 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 Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

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

(10% Placement Period).

6.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 3 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.

6.4 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 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
  • (b) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares). 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 or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

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

  • (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 the date of the Notice.
  • (d) 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. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and

(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

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

  • (ii) No Options or other convertible securities (including any Options or other convertible securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted 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 Facility, 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 Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (vii) The issue price is $0.016, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 23 October 2015.

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

  • (f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards exploration of its projects and potentially the funding for any suitable acquisition opportunities identified by the Board.

  • (g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A 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 Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

    • (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 allottees under the 10% Placement Facility 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.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

(j) The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2014. In the 12 months preceding the date of the 2015 Annual General Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued 81,006,374 Equity Securities and this represents 63.35% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Details of each issue of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the 2015 Annual General Meeting are set out in the table below:

Notes:

  • 1 Market Price means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.
  • 2 Options exercisable at $0.08 each on or before 30 June 2016.
  • 3 In respect of quoted Equity Securities the value is based on the closing price of the Shares ($0.016) or Options ($0.004) as the context requires on the ASX on the Trading Day prior to the date of this Notice. In respect of unquoted Equity Securities the value of Options is measured using the Black & Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the Option, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the Option. No account is taken of any performance conditions included in the terms of the Option other than market based performance conditions (i.e. conditions linked to the price of Shares).
  • 4 Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ASX Code: RTR (terms are set out in the Constitution).
  • 5 Options exercisable at $0.08 each on or before 20 April 2017.
  • 6 Options exercisable at $0.08 on or before 22 June 2017.

  • 8 Options exercisable at $0.15 each on or before 8 January 2017.
    • (k) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
    • (l) At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

7. Resolution 4 – Ratification of prior issue of SPP Shortfall Shares

7.1 Background

On 12 October 2015, the Company announced that it was undertaking a share purchase plan, pursuant to which eligible shareholders are entitled to apply for up to $15,000 worth of Shares at an issue price of $0.018 per Share.

The Directors' current intention is to cap the share purchase plan at a maximum of $600,000 and to place any shortfall Shares to sophisticated and professional investors who are not related parties of the Company. The issue of these shortfall Shares is anticipated to be completed by the date of this Meeting.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the shortfall Shares.

7.2 Listing Rule 7.4

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.

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

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

7.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Shares:

  • (a) up to a total of 33,333,333 Shares will be issued;
  • (b) the Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.018 each;
  • (c) the Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
  • (d) the Shares will be issued to institutional and sophisticated investors who are not related parties of the Company;
  • (e) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares to fund upcoming exploration at the Company's Sidewinder Nickel Sulphide Project, review of the Fraser Range Projects, the costs of reviewing prospective acquisition opportunities, and general working capital; and
  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

8. Resolution 5 – Issue of Shares to Mr Matthew Banks

8.1 Background

The Company proposes to issue Shares to Mr Banks, a director of the Company, in lieu of directors' fees owing to him up, to the value of $5,625 (Related Party Shares). It is proposed that Mr Banks participate in the Employee Share Plan in respect of director fees and the Company has agreed to pay to Mr Banks for the September 2015 quarter. Mr Banks is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

Under the Share Plan, the Company can make offers, subject to Shareholder approval, to participating directors to accept Shares in lieu of their director fees owing by the Company. The decision as to whether Shares or cash is offered to the participating directors is at the total discretion of the current Board.

Whilst the Board can make offers to issue Shares to participating directors; the issue of the Shares is not able to proceed until after Shareholder approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit a director of that entity to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of shareholders.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Shares to Mr Matthew Banks (or his nominee).

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 Related Party Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Banks is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Banks who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Related Party Shares as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. The Related Party Shares are being issued in lieu of a portion of Directors' fees payable to Mr Banks and are considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.

As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

8.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Listing Rule 10.15 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.15:

  • (a) the Related Party Shares will be issued to Mr Matthew Banks (or his nominee);
  • (b) the maximum number of Shares that may be issued to Matthew Banks will be no more than 208,333 Shares (this figure is based on a deemed issue price of 2.7 cents per Share, being the closing 3 month volume weighted average Share price to 30 September 2015);
  • (c) the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued in satisfaction of all or part of the Director's fees agreed to be paid by the Company to Mr Matthew Banks for the September 2015 quarter. As the Shares are being issued in lieu of Director's fees, no loan is provided in relation to the issue. The Shares will be deemed to have an issue price of 2.7 cents being the volume weighted average sale price of Shares for quarter ended 30 September 2015;
  • (d) the Company has issued a total of 458,739 Shares pursuant to the Employee Share Plan at an average deemed issue price of $0.049 per Share. These Shares were issued on 7 July 2015 and were issued to Matthew Banks as a Director pursuant to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2014;
  • (e) subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the determination of the Board, the Directors and their respective nominees and associates are entitled to participate in the Employee Share Scheme; and
  • (f) the Company will grant the Related Party Shares no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow.

8.4 Board recommendation

Matthew Banks has an interest in the Resolution 5 under which Related Party Shares will be granted and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. The other Directors are unanimously in favour of the grant of the Related Party Shares in Resolution 5.
