The attached Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice of meeting. The memorandum is provided to assist shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice and the reason for the resolutions proposed.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of a Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the company to be held at Pan Pacific Perth, 207 Adelaide Terrace, Perth at 10am (WST) on 23 November 2016. This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice and the reasons for the Resolutions proposed. Certain terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Section 7.

1. FINANCIAL AND OTHER REPORTS

As required by Section 317 of the Corporations Act 2001, the financial statements for the year ended 30th June 2016 and the accompanying directors' report, directors' declaration and auditor's report will be laid before the meeting. The financial statements and reports are contained in the St George Mining Limited 2016 Annual Report. Neither the Corporations Act nor the Company's Constitution requires a vote on the reports. However, shareholders will have an opportunity to ask questions about the report at the AGM.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company's remuneration report. The remuneration report is set out in the directors' report in the 2016 Annual Report which has been sent to Shareholders (except those who have made an election not to receive the Annual Report). Copies of the 2016 Annual Report are available by contacting the Company's Share Registry or visiting the Company's website (www.stgm.com.au). The remuneration report contains:

  • Information about Board policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of the Company's Directors and senior executives.
  • A description of the relationship between remuneration policy and the Company's performance.
  • A summary of performance conditions, including a summary of why they were chosen and how performance is measured against them.
  • Remuneration details for each executive and non-executive directors and Key Management Personnel.

A reasonable opportunity for discussion of the remuneration report will be provided at the annual general meeting. The vote on this resolution is advisory only, and does not bind the directors or the Company.

Under the Corporations Act if:

  • (a) At an Annual General Meeting ("the later AGM") at least 25% of the votes cast on a Resolution that the remuneration report be adopted are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report; and
  • (b) At least 25% of the votes cast at the immediately preceding Annual General Meeting ("the earlier AGM") on a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted under Sub-section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act were against the adoption of the Report;

(c) No "spill resolution" was put at the earlier AGM;

Then a "Board Spill" resolution must be put at the later AGM. The "Board Spill" resolution must be that:

  • A specially convened general meeting ("the Spill Meeting") be held within 90 days; and
  • All Directors who:
    • Were directors of the company when the resolution by the Directors to make the Directors' report considered at the later AGM was passed; and
    • Are not a managing director of the company who may continue to hold office indefinitely without being re-elected to the office in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules;

cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting; and

Resolutions to appoint persons to offices that will be vacated immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting must be put to the vote at the Spill Meeting.

At the Company's AGM held on 27 November 2015, less than 25% of the votes cast in respect of the remuneration report were against the adoption of the remuneration report.

Members of key management personnel (and their closely related parties) will be prohibited from voting – either personally or by undirected proxy - on Resolution 1 at the annual general meeting.

The Chairman of the AGM intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MS SARAH SHIPWAY AS A DIRECTOR

Resolution 2 deals with the re-election of Ms Sarah Shipway as a Director. Ms Shipway retires in accordance with the Company's Constitution and Listing Rule 14.5 and being eligible, offers herself for re-election.

Details of Ms Shipway's qualifications and experience are in the Company's Annual Financial Report.

All the Directors other than Ms Shipway recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE SHARES

Resolution 3 seeks approval for the Company to be authorised to issue the Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares contemplated by Resolutions 4, 5 6 and 7, which convert into Shares on the satisfaction of certain milestones relating to the performance of the Company.

A company having a single class of shares on issue which proposes to issue a new class of shares not having the same rights as its existing shares, is taken under Section 246C(5) of the Corporations Act, to vary the rights of existing shareholders unless the constitution already provides for such an issue.

Section 246B of the Corporations Act provides that if a company has a constitution that sets out the procedure for varying or cancelling rights attached to shares in a class of shares, those rights may be varied or cancelled only in accordance with the procedure.

Under the Company's Constitution, clause 3.7, it is provided that the rights attached to any class may be varied in any way with the consent in writing of the holders of threequarters of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

The Company currently has one class of shares on issue being fully paid ordinary shares. The terms of the Class A Performance Shares and the Class B Performance Shares are not the same as the terms of the Shares and Shareholder approval is, therefore, being sought for the Company to be authorised to issue the Performance Shares to meet the requirements of the Constitution.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTIONS 4, 5, 6 & 7

BACKGROUND

Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of a total of 50 Class A Performance Shares and a total of 50 Class B Performance Shares to the Directors and the Exploration Manager of the Company.

The Board is cognisant of general Shareholder opinion that long-term equity based rewards for Directors and staff should be linked to the achievement by the Company of performance conditions.

The Performance Shares that the Board proposes be issued are subject to the performance conditions outlined below. These performance conditions must be satisfied in order for the Performance Shares to vest. In addition the recipient must remain a Director (in the case of directors) or an employee of the Company (in the case of Mr McCarthy) at the time of vesting. Upon Performance Shares vesting, Shares are automatically issued.

Other material terms of the Performance Shares proposed to be issued pursuant to Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 are that they are non-transferable, they carry no right to vote or receive dividends or any of the other rights of Shareholders, they will lapse if they do not vest. Full terms and conditions of the Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares are set out in Schedules 1 and 2 respectively.

In order for the Class A Performance Shares to vest and thereby convert into Shares, the market capitalisation of the Company must exceed $50 million within 2 years after the date of issue of the Class A Performance Shares. As at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum the market capitalisation of the Company is $34,299,282.

In order for the Class B Performance Shares to vest and thereby convert into Shares, the market capitalisation of the Company must exceed $75 million within 4 years after the date of issue of the Class B Performance Shares. As at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum the market capitalisation of the Company is $34,299,282.

Market capitalisation for this purpose will be calculated based on the 30 day volume weighted average price of Shares on an undiluted basis.

Each Performance Share will convert into 50,000 Shares. Thus the 50 Class A Performance Shares will convert into a total of 2,500,000 Shares as will the 50 Class B Performance Shares.

If all Performance Shares the subject of this Notice are issued and subsequently vest, thereby converting to Shares, the number of Shares on issue will increase from approximately 250 million to approximately 255 million. An effect of this will be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders by less than 2% assuming that there were no other changes to the issued capital of the Company prior to the date of issue of those 5 million Shares

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Shareholder approval is sought under Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act both regulating the provision of financial benefits including the issue of securities to related parties of the Company.

Shareholders should note that the issue of securities pursuant to Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.

A voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement with regards to Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 is included in the Notice.

The intended use of the funds raise

No funds will be raised on the issue or conversion of the Performance Shares.

Listing Rule 7.1

The Company is seeking approval for the issue of the 10 Class A Performance Shares and 10 Class B Performance Shares to Mr McCarthy pursuant to Resolution 7 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 so that the Performance Shares and the potential 1 million Shares that might be issued on their conversion will be excluded from any calculations of the 15% restriction on issues of securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the purposes of meeting the notice requirements for approval under Listing Rule 7.1, Listing Rule 7.3 provides that the notice of meeting must include the following:

The maximum number of securities the Company is to issue

The maximum number is 20 Performance Shares which might convert to a maximum of 1 million Shares.

The Performance Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 7 will be issued simultaneously within a month of the Meeting.

A voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement in relation to Resolution 7 is included in the Notice.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party unless one of the exceptions to Section 208 applies or shareholders have approved the giving of that benefit to the related party.

A "financial benefit" is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and includes a public company, issuing securities, and buying an asset from a related party.

A Director is a "related party" for the purposes of the Corporations Act. Each of Messrs Prineas and Hronsky and Ms Shipway is, accordingly, a "related party" of the Company.

The proposed issue of 80 Performance Shares pursuant to Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 involves the provision of a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of that company, the public company must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of members in the way set out in Section 217 and 227; and
  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months after the approval.

In accordance with Chapter 2E, and in particular Section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the proposed issue of Performance Shares as contemplated by Resolutions 4, 5 and 6.

The related parties to whom the resolutions would permit the financial benefit to be given The related parties are:

Mr John Prineas – 20 Class A and 20 Class B Performance Shares Mr Tim Hronsky – 15 Class A and 15 Class B Performance Shares; and Ms Sarah Shipway – 5 Class A and 5 Class B Performance Shares.

The nature of the financial benefit

The financial benefit proposed to be given is the granting of the Performance Shares (and ultimately the issue of Shares if the Performance Shares vest and convert to the Related Parties as detailed above for no issue price). The Board wishes to issue Performance Shares to the Directors, to provide an incentive which will align them with the interests of all Shareholders and which will assist in preserving the Company's cash by limiting the cash remuneration that would otherwise be payable to those Directors.

Directors' recommendation and basis of recommendation

The Directors make no recommendations in relation to Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 as they are potential beneficiaries of the resolutions that relate to them. They note, however, that they consider that the terms and conditions of the Performance Shares that are proposed to be issued reflect the objectives as outlined above and that the number of Performance Shares proposed are commensurate with the respective roles and responsibilities of the respective Director of the Company, their respective potential impact on the Company's performance and having had regard to relevant market remuneration data. The Directors are not aware of any information other than as is contained in this Notice that might 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 4, 5 and 6. The Directors have agreed to put the matter to Shareholders for the purposes of Section 195 of the Corporations Act.

Directors' interest in the outcome

The Directors' interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 is that they will be issued Performance Shares as detailed above for no payment.

Directors' remuneration package

In the last financial year the Directors received the following remuneration from the Company: $487,745 as set out on page 15 of the 2016 Annual Report.

Related party's existing interests

Each of the Directors has the following interests in securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice:

Name Ordinary Shares Listed Options Class D Class E
Unlisted Unlisted
Options Options
John Prineas 10,214,221 1,021,422 - -
Tim Hronsky 1,062,500 106,250 300,000 300,000
Sarah Shipway - - - -

Dilution

An effect of the issue of the 80 Performance Shares to the Directors will, if all of the 80 Performance Shares were to vest resulting in the issue of 4 million Shares, be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders by approximately 1.59% assuming that there were no other changes to the issued capital of the Company prior to the date of issue of those 4 million Shares.

Trading history

The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $0.137 per Share.

Valuation of financial benefit

The financial benefit which is being provided by the Company to the Directors under Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 is the issue of 80 Performance Shares. The value of the 4 million Shares that might be issued if the Performance Shares vest and convert, with a nil issue price, based on the closing price of the Company's Shares on 4 October 2016 of $0.137 per Share would be $548,000. However, it should be noted that the relevant Shares will not be issued until some uncertain time in the future and the exact Share price at that time is very difficult to predict.

As permitted, the Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7.

6. RESOLUTION 8 – 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. 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 exact 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 primary purpose for the 10% Placement Facility is to enable the Company to raise additional capital without additional regulatory impediments and to pursue possible future investment opportunities that may arise.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 8 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

6.2 Description of 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 two class of quoted Equity Securities, being Shares and Options (having the ASX codes SGQ and SGQOA).

(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 approval of holders of shares 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 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 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders 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 this Notice, the Company has on issue 250,359,725 Shares and has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 37,553,958 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • (ii) 25,035,972 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 6.1 (c) above).

(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 in which trades in the relevant 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 the approval by shareholders 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),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ("10% Placement Period").

6.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 8 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.

Resolution 8 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).

6.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility 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 those securities 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 Resolution 8 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 Table A (below). 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.

Table A 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 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 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 50% 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 (including any Options under the 10% Placement Facility) 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 at 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 the issue 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 the issue of Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (vii) The Issue Price is $0.13, being an intra-day price of Shares on ASX on 5 October 2016.

  • (viii) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or without approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (ix) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or without approval under Listing Rule 7.1, and the total number of Shares on issue and approved or deemed approved at the date hereof for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 is 250,359,725 .

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 8 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).

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

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new 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 an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company's current assets and/or general working capital.

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

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).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party 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 Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

(e) The Company has obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2013, 2014 and 2015 Annual General Meetings.

The Company issued 50,811,532 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the preceding 12 months. During the preceding 12 month period a total of 140,663,103 Equity Securities (being 112,964,499 Shares, 26,498,604 Listed Options and 1,200,000 Unlisted Options) were issued, which based on the number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that period comprises approximately 88% of the Company's Equity Securities.

(f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. 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.

The Board believes that the Additional 10% Placement Facility is beneficial for the Company as it will give the Company the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 10% of the Company's share capital during the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders approve Resolution 8.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 8.
