RESOLUTIONS 4 & 5 RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES
==> picture [460 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
Background
In the 12 months preceding this Notice, the Company has issued:
-
37,588,208 Shares at the price of $0.003 on 21 April 2017; and
-
109,024,029 Shares at the price of $0.00333 on 30 October 2017;
(together the Placement Securities or Placements ).
The Shares issued on 21 April 2017 were issued as payment for services in lieu of cash payments that the Company otherwise may have been required to expend. The Placement on 30 October 2017 raised $363,050 before costs of the issue for the Company.
The Placements were issued by LNY pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rules
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, Resolutions 4 and 5 seek ratification by Shareholders of the issue of the Placement Securities.
Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits the Company (subject to certain exceptions such as pro-rata issues), from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities representing more than 15% of the Company’s total issued securities, during a rolling 12 month period, without Shareholder approval ( 15% Threshold ).
Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue of equity securities, for which Shareholder approval was not first obtained, to not be counted towards the 15% Threshold when Shareholder approval for that issue is subsequently obtained.
That is, Listing Rule 7.4 permits an issue of Shares to be approved retrospectively. It provides that an issue of Equity Securities is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval if ASX Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the securities were issued and Shareholders subsequently approve (ratify) the issue. The Company did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time the Placement
12
Notice of Annual General Meeting
Laneway Resources Ltd
Securities were issued and now seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Securities.
By Shareholders approving Resolutions 4 and 5 the Board is given the flexibility to issue more Equity Securities up to the 15% Threshold over the next 12 month period. Once the issue of the Placement Securities is approved, these securities will not be counted for the purposes of the 15% Threshold.
Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Placement Securities:

Impact of Shareholder approval
Importantly, Shareholders should note that:
-
a) Shareholder approval was not required for the issue of the Placement Securities; and
-
b) if Shareholder approval is not obtained for Resolutions 4 and 5 the Placements will not be impacted or changed.
The impact of Shareholder approval for Resolutions 4 and 5 will be the extent to which the Company’s 15% Threshold is refreshed. For example, if:
-
a) Resolutions 4 and 5 are approved the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be refreshed and assuming no other Equity Securities are issued, the Company will be able to issue an additional 475,453,583 new Shares without Shareholder approval and without relying on any exceptions to the 15% Threshold;
-
b) Resolutions 4 and 5 are not approved the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will not be refreshed and assuming no other Equity Securities are issued and that no convertible notes are converted, the Company may not be able to issue any additional Shares in the next 12 months without Shareholder approval, unless one of the exceptions to the 15% Threshold applies under Listing Rule 7.2; and
-
c) If either but not both of Resolutions 4 and 5 are approved the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will only be refreshed to the extent to which approval is granted, unless one of the exceptions to the 15% Threshold applies under Listing Rule 7.2.
Voting exclusion statements are included in the Notice of Meeting.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5.

ANNEXURE A TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SHARES
All Shares rank equally.
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Company’s Constitution.
(b) Voting
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:
-
each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have a fraction of a vote for each partly paid Share. The fraction must be equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited). Amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculating the proportion.
(c) Dividends
Dividends are payable out of the Company's profits and are declared or determined to be payable by the Directors. Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to Shares with special rights to dividends, dividends declared will be payable on the Shares in proportion to the amount for the time being paid in respect of each Share.
The Directors may carry forward so much of the profits remaining as they consider ought not to be distributed as dividends by transferring those profits to a reserve.
(d) Transfer of Shares
A Shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by ASX or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in Shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the Directors.
Generally (subject to formal requirements and to the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia including the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules), the Shares are freely transferable.

Notice of Annual General Meeting
Laneway Resources Ltd
(e) Meetings and notice
Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
(f) Winding up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as the liquidator considers fair on any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees on such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(g) Shareholder liability
As all Shares on issue are fully paid Shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(h) Future increase in capital
Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and LNY’s constitution, the Directors may issue, allot or dispose of Shares on terms determined by the Directors, at the issue price that the Directors determine and to Shareholders whether in proportion to their existing Shareholdings or otherwise, and to such other persons as the Directors may determine.
(i) Variation of rights
