In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, members are advised that:

  • the proxy need not be a member of Southern Hemisphere Mining Limited; and

  • a member who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

Further details on these changes is set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

1

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of Southern Hemisphere Mining Limited members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

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 which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 are Director Share Resolutions. If either of the Director Share Resolutions are not approved at the Meeting, neither of them will take effect.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

1.1 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.

1.2 Voting consequences

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 reelection 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.

1.3 Previous voting results

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

1.4 Proxy Voting

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose 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.

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)

7

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 must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise 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 .

If you appoint any other person as your proxy

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

2. RESOLUTIONS 2 & 3 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS – MR DAVID LENIGAS AND MR KEITH COUGHLAN

Resolutions 2 and 3 seek approval for the re-election of Mr David Lenigas and Mr Keith Coughlan who are retiring by rotation under Listing Rule 14.4 and Rule 7.3(f) of the Company’s Constitution (‘Constitution’).

This Rule states that “A Director appointed under Rule 7.2(b) may retire at the next meeting of Members and is eligible for re-election at that meeting. Unless a Director appointed under Rule 7.2(b) has retired under this Rule 7.3(f) that Director must retire at the next AGM, and is eligible for re-election at that meeting”.

Mr Lenigas and Mr Coughlan are eligible for re-election under Rule 7.3(f) of the Constitution and each offers himself for re-election as Non-Executive Directors of the Company.

A Director who retires by rotation under Rule 7.3(f) of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

Bio of Mr David Lenigas

Mr David Lenigas is an experienced mining engineer, with a Western Australian First-Class Mine Managers Certificate of Competence. He has significant global resources and corporate experience, having served as executive chairman, chairman and non-executive director of many public listed companies in London, Canada, Johannesburg, and Australia.

Mr Lenigas is currently Chairman of Artemis Resources Limited, Non-Executive Chairman of Clancy Exploration and Non-Executive Director of Auroch Minerals Ltd.

If elected the Board does not consider that Mr Lenigas will be an independent director.

The Board (other than Mr Lenigas who has an interest in Resolution 2) recommends the re-election of Mr Lenigas.

Bio of Mr Keith Coughlan

Mr Keith Coughlan has almost 30 years’ experience in stockbroking and funds management. He has been largely involved in the funding and promoting of resource companies listed on the ASX, AIM and TSX. He has advised various companies on the identification and acquisition of resource projects and was previously employed by one of Australia’s then largest funds.

Mr Coughlan is currently Non-Executive Chairman of Calidus Resources Limited and CEO / Managing Director of European Metals Holdings Limited.

If elected the Board does not consider that Mr Coughlan will be an independent director.

The Board (other than Mr Coughlan who has an interest in Resolution 3) recommends the re-election of Mr Coughlan.

3. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

3.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval 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.

8

If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, 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 4 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period 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 4 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting 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 $300,000,000.

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 $15,627,227M.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: SUH).

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.

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:

  • (a) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (c) 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 shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and

  • (d) 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.

9

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 4;

(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 paragraph 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:

  • (iii) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (iv) 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 ).

(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 4 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, subject to the assumptions listed below the table.

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:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company will have on issue at the date of the Meeting. 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 50% as against the current market price. 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.

* 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. There are currently 78,136,137 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 13 October 2017.

  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 and Rule 7.1A, or subsequently ratified under Listing Rule 7.4 at this Meeting.

  5. 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.

  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%.

  9. 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 Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date 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 those Equity Securities on the date of issue or the Equity Securities are issued as part of the 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.

  • (d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

11

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 acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets in Burkina Faso and for 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 non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

  • (e)

Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

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 allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to:

  • (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; and

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

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined but may include current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company. Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new assets or investments.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2016 Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2016 ( Previous Approval ).

In the past 12 months preceding the date of this meeting the Company issued a total 13,012,376 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares which represents 19.98% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at 30 November 2016, the date of the last Annual General Meeting.

3.4 Voting Exclusion

4.1 General

On 24 March 2017, the Company issued a total of 6,512,376 (‘March Placement Shares’) at $0.02 per Share to raise $130,247.52 using its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (‘March Placement’).

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of Shares pursuant to the March Placement.

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.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1(and provided that the

13

previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

4.2 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

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

  • (a) 6,512,376 Shares were issued using the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and accordingly shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is sought;

  • (b) the March Placement Shares were issued on 24 March 2017;

  • (c) the March Placement Shares were issued at a price of $0.02 per Share;

  • (d) the March Placement Shares were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the March Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated investors who are exempt from the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. None of the subscribers were related parties of the Company;

  • (f) the funds raised from the March Placement will be used for:

  • (i) exploration and mining activities in Chile, South America and Western Australia; and

  • (ii) general working capital.

5. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – JUNE PLACEMENT SHARES

5.1 General

On 2 June 2017, the Company issued a total of 6,500,000 (‘June Placement Shares’) at $0.08 per Share to raise $520,000,000 (‘June Placement’).

3,243,812 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2016 and 3,256,188 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of Shares pursuant to the June Placement.

5.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 5.1 above.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is provided in Section 5.1 above.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval.

5.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities

14

which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

  • (a) will not be counted in variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) are counted in variable “E”,

until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 6, the base figure (i.e. variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval. Although, it is noted that the Company’s use of the 10% annual placement capacity following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 4 being passed by the requisite majority.

5.4 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

6. RESOLUTIONS 7, 8 AND 9 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES

6.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 7,000,000 Shares ( Related Party Shares ) to Messrs Lenigas, Coughlan and Tennant ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

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

15

(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 Related Party Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Lenigas, Coughlan and Tennant are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Related Party Shares to the Related Parties.

6.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Related Party Shares:

  • (a) the related parties are Messrs Lenigas, Coughlan and Tennant and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Related Party Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be issued to the Related Parties is:

  • (i) 3,000,000 Related Party Shares to Mr Lenigas;

  • (ii) 3,000,000 Related Party Shares to Mr Coughlan; and

  • (iii) 1,000,000 Related Party Shares to Mr Tennant;

  • (c) the Related Party Shares will be issued to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Shares will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the Related Party Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the Related Party Shares will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the current Shares on issue in the capital of the Company;

  • (f) the value of the Related Party Shares are as follows, based on the closing price of Shares on ASX on 13 October 2017 being $0.20;

  • (i) Mr Lenigas $600,000;

  • (ii) Mr Coughlan $600,000; and

  • (iii) Mr Tennant $200,000.

  • (g) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are set out below:

Related Party Shares Options
Mr David Lenigas 4,884,282 Nil
Mr Keith Coughlan 1,628,094 Nil
Mr Trevor Tennant 7,560,087 Nil

  • (i) if the Related Party Shares are approved and issued to the Related Parties, this will increase the number of Shares on issue from 78,136,137 to 85,136,137 assuming that no shares other than those contemplated by the Resolutions of this Notice are issued with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 8.96%, comprising 3.84% by Mr Lenigas, 3.84% by Mr Coughlan and 1.28% by Mr Tennant.

(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:

below:
Price Date
Highest 22 cents 28 September 2017
Lowest 3 cents 12 October 2016
Last 20 cents 13 October 2017
  • (k) the Board acknowledges the issue of Related Party Shares to Messrs Lenigas, Coughlan and Tennant is contrary to Recommendation 8.3 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments (2[nd] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the issue of Related Party Shares to Messrs Lenigas, Coughlan and Tennant reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph (m);

  • (l) the primary purpose of the issue of the Related Party Shares to the Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as Directors;

  • (m) Mr Lenigas declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be issued Related Party Shares in the Company should Resolution 7 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 8 and 9, Mr Lenigas recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the issue of the Related Party Shares is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as 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 to the Related Parties; and

  • (ii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Shares upon the terms proposed;

  • (n) Mr Coughlan declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be issued Related Party Shares in the Company should Resolution 8 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 7 and 9, Mr Coughlan recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m);

17

  • (o) Mr Tennant declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 9 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be issued Related Party Shares in the Company should Resolution 9 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 7 and 8, Mr Tennant recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m);

  • (p) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Related Party, the current market price of Shares and the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Shares to be issued; and

  • (q) 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 7 to 9.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Shares to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Shares to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders are requested to contact Ms Jessamyn Lyons on + 61 8 6245 2050 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in these documents.
