EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Purpose of Information

This Explanatory Statement ("Statement") accompanies and forms part of the Company's Notice of Annual General Meeting ("Notice") for the 2022 Annual General Meeting ("Meeting") will be held virtually via a webinar conferencing facility at 10.00am (AEDT) on Tuesday, 8 November 2022.

The Notice incorporates, and should be read together, with this Statement.

Receipt and consideration of Accounts & Reports

A copy of the Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2022 which incorporates the Company's financial report, reports of the Directors (including the Remuneration Report and the auditors) is not enclosed as there is no longer a requirement for the Company to incur the printing and distribution cost associated with doing so for all shareholders. You may obtain a copy free of charge in hard copy form by contacting the Company by phone at +61 3 9692 7222, and you may request that this occurs on a standing basis for future years.

Alternatively, you may access the Annual Report at the Company's websitehttp://www.stellarresources.com.au/ or via the Company's announcement platform on ASX (ASX: SRZ). Except for as set out in Resolution 1, no resolution is required on these reports.

Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on, the 2022 Annual Report and the management of the Company. The auditor will be invited to attend, to answer questions about the audit of the Company's 2021 Annual Financial Statements.

Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

Background

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report must be put to the vote at the Annual General Meeting. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors' Report in the Company's 2022 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company's remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

In accordance with Section 250SA of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions concerning, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if twenty five (25%) per cent or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a "spill resolution") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

It is noted that at the Company's last Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report represented less than twenty five (25%) per cent of the total votes cast on that resolution and accordingly, a spill resolution will not under any circumstances be required for the Meeting.

The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies.

Board Recommendation

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as such interests are described in the Remuneration Report) and, as described in the voting exclusions on this resolution (set out in the Notice of AGM), that each Director (or any Closely Related Party of a Director) is excluded from voting their shares on this resolution, the Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to adopt the Remuneration Report.

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

Voting Exclusions

Refer to Note 6 for voting exclusions.

Resolution 2: Re-Election of Mr. Simon O'Loughlin as a Director of the Company

Background

Mr. Simon O'Loughlin was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 24 December 2019 and being eligible, offers himself for re-election to the Board.

Simon O'Loughlin is the founder of O'Loughlin's Lawyers, an Adelaide based, specialist commercial law firm. He has extensive experience in the corporate and commercial law fields while practising in Sydney and Adelaide, and also holds accounting qualifications.

Mr O'Loughlin has extensive experience and involvement with companies in the small industrial and resources sectors. He has also been involved in the listing and backdoor listing of numerous companies on the ASX. He is a former Chairman of the Taxation Institute of Australia (SA Division) and Save the Children Fund (SA Division). He has extensive knowledge of and experience in the equity capital markets and the ASX and ASIC rules and regulations. He has held many non-executive directorships on ASX listed companies over the last 20 years.

Board Recommendation

The Board (with Mr O'Loughlin abstaining) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr O'Loughlin.

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

Voting Exclusions

Refer to Note 6 for voting exclusions.

Background to Resolutions 3 to 6

On 22 August 2022, the Company announced that it was undertaking a capital raising to raise up to $2.4 million by way of the Placement and Share Purchase Plan (SPP) at an issue price of $0.15 (1.5 cents) under both the Placement and SPP. Investors under the Placement and eligible shareholders under the SPP are to be offered one (1) free attaching unlisted option for every two (2) New Shares subscribed for, exercisable at $0.025 (2.5 cents) on or before an expiry date of two years from the date of issue.

The Placement was lead managed by Taylor Collison Limited (Lead Manager). Under the mandate with the Lead Manager, they will receive a management fee of 2.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Placement, a selling fee of 4.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Placement and 25,179,000 Broker Options (on the same terms as the New Options to be issued under the Placement and SPP).

Under the Capital Raising, shares under Placement are proposed to be ratified by the shareholders as follows:

  1. Ratification of prior issue of 125,895,000 fully paid ordinary shares under Placement is sought under Resolution 3.

The Options relating to shares issued under Placement, shares issued under Share Purchase Plan and Broker Options are proposed to be issued subject to the shareholder approval as follows:

    1. Approval to issue 62,947,500 free attaching Options relating to shares issued under Placement is sought under Resolution 4.
    1. Approval to issue 19,716,635 free attaching Options relating to shares issued under SPP is sought under Resolution 5.
    1. Approval to issue up to 25,179,000 Broker Options to Taylor Collison Limited (or their nominees) is sought under Resolution 6.

Resolution 3: Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares under Placement

Background

As noted above, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 125,895,000 fully paid ordinary shares on 29 August 2022 at an issue price of $0.015 (1.5 cents) per Share on the terms as announced on 22 August 2022.

The Shares were issued without shareholder approval from the Company's 15% placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rules 7.1 allows the Company to issue new securities up to 15% of the existing capital of the Company in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders, excluding any issues that are subject to one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 applies. The issue of the Shares under tranche one of the Placement was within the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, with 125,895,000 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 an issue of securities will be treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time and shareholders subsequently approve it. The Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 in order to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is approved, the prior issue of 125,895,000 Shares may be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company will therefore have the flexibility, if required, to issue additional equity securities without the 125,895,000 Shares counting towards the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 7.1.

If this Resolution 3 is not approved, the prior issue of 125,895,000 Shares will not be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 7.1. The Company will therefore have the 125,895,000 Shares, the subject of Resolution 3, as counting towards the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This will limit the Company's placement capacity under the Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

  • a) The Shares were issued to new and existing shareholders identified as professional and sophisticated investors by the Lead Manager Taylor Collison Limited. There were no participants in the Placement that were investors required to be disclosed under ASX Guidance Note 21;
  • b) the number and class of securities issued were 125,895,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company;
  • c) the Shares were issued on 29 August 2022;
  • d) the Shares were issued at a price of $0.015 (1.5 cents) per Share; and
  • e) the purpose of the issue was to raise funds to be used to: The capital raised under the Placement and SPP will be used to continue to fund exploration and development on the Company's portfolio of projects, including the Heemskirk Tin Project and for general working capital.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Voting Exclusions

Refer to Note 6 for voting exclusions.

Resolution 4: Approval to Issue Free Attaching Options under Placement

Background

As noted above, as part of the Company's Placement announced to the market on 29 August 2022, the Company proposed to issue 62,947,500 free attaching unlisted options (Attaching Options) to the recipients of the 125,895,000 Shares issued under the Placement on the basis that one (1) free attaching unlisted option would be issued for every two (2) new Shares issued.

The Company is seeking shareholder approval under Resolution 4 to issue the 62,947,500 Free Attaching Unlisted Options.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The Issue does not fall within any of the relevant exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks the required shareholder approval to the issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5: Approval to Issue Free Attaching Options under Share Purchase Plan

Background

As noted above, as part of the Company's SPP initially announced on 22 August 2022 and disclosed to the market by way of a prospectus dated 5 September 2022 (Prospectus), the Company proposed to issue up to 16,666,667 free attaching unlisted options (Attaching SPP Options) to the recipients of up to 33,333,333 Shares issued under the SPP on the basis that one (1) free attaching unlisted option would be issued for every two (2) new Shares issued.

In consultation with the Lead Manager, the Company has accepted oversubscriptions and issued 39,433,282 fully paid ordinary shares in connection with the SPP on 30 September 2022. As such, the Company proposes to issue 19,716,635 Attaching SPP Options to participants of the SPP pursuant to the Prospectus.

The Company is seeking shareholder approval under this Resolution 5 to issue 19,716,635 Attaching SPP Options.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of Attaching SPP Options does not fall within any of the relevant exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue and will issue the Attaching SPP Options to participants in the SPP. In addition, the issue of the Attaching SPP Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Attaching SPP Options. The Company will then issue the Attaching SPP Options to participants of the SPP at a time where the Company has sufficient placement capacity to do so.

ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements

The following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5, as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3:

  • a) the Attaching SPP Options will be issued to recipients of Shares issued under the SPP as announced on 22 August 2022 and issued on 20 September 2022.
  • b) There are no participants in the SPP that are investors required to be disclosed under ASX Guidance Note 21.
  • c) The Company notes it has applied for a waiver from Listing Rule 10.11 to allow the Directors of the Company (or their respective nominees) to participate in the SPP without prior Shareholder approval under that Listing Rule, on the basis that the Directors are participating on the same terms as unrelated party eligible Shareholders (the issue is equal and considered fair) and subject to Shareholder approval being obtained pursuant to this Resolution 5;
  • d) the number and class of securities being issued is 19,716,635 Attaching SPP Options on the basis of one (1) Option for each two (2) Shares issued under SPP;
  • e) the material terms of the Attaching SPP Options in included in Schedule 1:
  • f) the Attaching SPP Options will be issued by no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting, however they are expected to be issued on or about 11 November 2022; and
  • g) the Attaching SPP Options will be issued for nil consideration as free attaching options in connection with the SPP, therefore the Company will not receive any funds from their issue. In the event that all these Attaching SPP Options are exercised, the Company will receive up to $492,916 which the Company intends to apply towards its business and operational activities and general working capital purposes.

Chapter 2E Approval

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Attaching SPP Options because the financial benefit given to the Directors, by virtue of their participation in the SPP, is given in their capacity as Shareholders and the giving of the benefit does not discriminate unfairly against the other Shareholders, as all Shareholders were provided with the opportunity to participate in the SPP. Shareholder approval is therefore not required in accordance with the exception in section 215 of the Corporations Act.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Voting Exclusions

The Company has applied for an ASX waiver from the requirement to apply a voting exclusion statement under Listing Rule 7.3.9 to this Resolution. Without the ASX waiver, eligible Shareholders who participated in the Share Purchase Plan would be prohibited from voting on Resolution 5. If the Company obtains the abovementioned waiver prior to the date of this Meeting, a voting exclusion statement will not apply to this Resolution

The Company has also applied for an ASX waiver from the requirement to apply a voting exclusion statement under Listing Rule 10.13.10 to this Resolution. Without the ASX waiver, eligible Shareholders who participated in the Share Purchase Plan, who are also Directors, would be prohibited from voting on Resolution 5. If the Company obtains the abovementioned waiver prior to the date of this Meeting, a voting exclusion statement will not apply to this Resolution.

Resolution 6: Approval of Issue of Options to Taylor Collison Limited (or their nominee)

Background

As noted in above, the Company seeks shareholder approval under Resolution 6 to issue up to 25,179,000 Broker Options to Taylor Collison Limited ("Lead Manager") (or their nominees).

Under the mandate with the Lead Manager, they will receive a management fee of 2.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Placement, a selling fee of 4.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Placement and 25,179,000 Broker Options (on the same terms as the New Options to be issued under the Placement and SPP).

The Broker Options to be issued to the Lead Manager are subject to shareholder approval, however if approval is not obtained the Company will issue these Securities pursuant to its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 following the Annual General Meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The Issue does not fall within any of the relevant exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 6 seeks the required shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up 25,179,000 Broker Options to Lead Manager (or their nominees).

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company would not be able to proceed with the Issue been excluded from the calculation of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, however the Company will issue the Options to the Lead Manager (or their nominees) at a time where the Company has sufficient Placement capacity to do so.

ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements

The following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6, as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3:

a) the Broker Options will be issued to the Taylor Collison Limited (or their nominee). There are no

participants in the Placement that are investors required to be disclosed under ASX Guidance Note 21;

  • b) the number and class of securities being issued is up to 25,179,000 Broker Options;
  • c) a summary of the material terms of the Broker Options are included in Schedule 1;

  • f) the Options will be issued for nil consideration for services provided by the Lead Manager in connection with the Placement and SPP, therefore the Company will not receive any funds from their issue.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

Resolution 7: Adoption of Equity Incentive Plan

Background

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Equity Incentive Plan ("EIP" or "the Plan") in order to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of employees of the Company and for the issue of up to a maximum of 50,231,545 securities under the Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). A copy of the Plan rules are available on the Company's website at Corporate Governance (stellarresources.com.au).

The Board is committed to incentivising and retaining the Company's Directors, employees and consultants in a manner which promotes alignment of their interests with Shareholder interests. Additionally, the Board considers equity-based compensation an integral component of the Company's remuneration platform as it allows it to be fiscally prudent by conserving cash resources while still enabling it to offer market-competitive remuneration arrangements.

The Plan will enable employees, Directors or such other persons as the Board should deem fit, to receive Shares, Options to acquire Shares in the Company, other securities, Rights or interests such as Performance Rights, or loan funded shares.

No Directors or their associates can or will be issued Shares, Options or other securities or Rights under the Plan unless Shareholder approval of specific issues to them is obtained. Under the Plan the Company may acquire shares on market to be held on trust for Directors or their associates.

Approval is sought to issue up to 50,231,545 Equity Securities (Shares, Options or other Rights including performance rights each conditionally entitling the applicable holder to one fully paid ordinary share upon exercise or achievement of the applicable milestone). Any additional issues under the Plan above that number will require further Shareholder approval, unless the total number of securities issued, other than issues to certain parties whose participation in the Plan is excluded from the threshold by operation of the Corporations Act 2001 or the ASX Listing Rules, does not exceed 5% of the then issued shares of the Company.

The objects of the Plan are to:

  • provide Eligible Employees with an additional incentive to work to improve the performance of the Company;

  • attract and retain Eligible Employees essential for the continued growth and development of the Company;

  • promote and foster loyalty and support amongst Eligible Employees for the benefit of the Company;

  • enhance the relationship between the Company and Eligible Employees for the long-term mutual benefit of all parties; and

  • provide Eligible Employees with the opportunity to acquire Shares, Options or Rights in the Company, in accordance with the Plan rules.

Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

As summarised at Resolution 5 above, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 for securities issued under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity's ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity's notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any Equity Securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of 50,231,545 Securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Equity Securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company's capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Equity Securities.

The Company therefore seeks approval of the Plan under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) so that issues of securities under the Plan do not impede the capacity of the Company to issue up to a further 15% of its capital without Shareholder approval.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:

  • a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out below;
  • b) the Company has not issued any securities under the Plan as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Incentive Plan;
  • c) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 50,231,545 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

Summary of material terms and conditions of the Company's EIP

A summary of material terms and conditions of the Company's EIP is set out below. For full details of the EIP, please refer to the Plan itself which are accessible in the manner stated above.

The EIP sets out the framework for the offer of Shares, Options, Performance Rights or loan funded shares, and is typical for a document of this nature.

  • In making its decision to issue Shares, Options or Performance Rights, the Board may decide the number of securities and the vesting conditions which are to apply in respect of the securities. The Board has broad flexibility to issue Shares, Options or Performance Rights having regard to a range of potential vesting criteria and conditions.
  • In certain circumstances, unvested Options or Performance Rights will immediately lapse and any unvested Shares held by the participant will be forfeited if the relevant person is a "bad leaver" as distinct from a "good leaver".
  • If a participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of their obligations to the Company or its subsidiaries, the Board may determine that any unvested Performance Rights or Options held by the participant immediately lapse and that any unvested Shares held by the participant be forfeited.
  • In certain circumstances, Shares, Performance Rights or Options can vest early, including following a change of control or other events of a similar nature. For the purposes of this rule, a relevant control event occurs in a number of scenarios as outlined within the plan.
  • The total number of Shares that would be issued if each Option, Performance Right and Share under the EIP is exercised or vested (as applicable), plus the number of Shares issued in the previous three years under the EIP, must not, subject to certain prescribed exemptions, at any time, exceed 5% of the total number of the Company's Shares on issue. Shares issued under the EIP will rank equally in all respects with other Shares and the Company must apply for the quotation of such Shares on the ASX.
  • The Board has discretion to impose restrictions (except to the extent prohibited by law or the ASX Listing Rules) on Shares issued or transferred to a participant on vesting of an Option or a Performance Right, and the Company may implement appropriate procedures to restrict a participant from so dealing in the Shares.
  • In respect of vested Options or Performance Rights, if the Board becomes aware of an event which would have resulted in vesting criteria not being satisfied, such as a material misstatement in the Company's financial statements during the vesting period, any affected vested Options or Rights may be cancelled for no consideration.
  • The Plan allows for a cashless exercise of Options or Rights where the Board may permit the participant to exercise Options or Rights by way of a cashless exercise.
  • In the event of any reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company on, or prior to, the expiry of the Performance Rights or Options, the rights of the relevant security holder can be changed in the discretion of the Board, including to comply with the applicable ASX Listing Rules in force at the time of the reorganisation.
  • The Board is granted a certain level of discretion under the EIP, including the power to amend the rules under which the EIP is governed and to waive vesting conditions, forfeiture conditions or disposal restrictions.

Exemption for financial assistance

Section 260A of the Corporations Act provides that a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the company or a holding company of the company only if:

  • a) giving of the assistance does not materially prejudice the interests of the company or its shareholders, or the company's ability to pay its creditors (section 260A(1)(a));
  • b) the assistance is approved by shareholders under section 260B of the Corporations Act (section 260A(1)(b)); or
  • c) the assistance is exempted under section 260C of the Corporations Act (section 260A(1)(c)).

Section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act provides an exemption to financial assistance, if the financial assistance is given under an employee share scheme approved via an ordinary resolution at a meeting of shareholders.

As noted above, the terms of the Plan envisage the giving of financial assistance by the Company to eligible and invited participants in the form of a loan made by the Company to a participant for the purpose of acquiring or subscribing for Shares (Loan Funded Shares).

The Board does not consider that the giving of financial benefit under the Plan will materially prejudice the interests of the Company or its Shareholders, or the Company's ability to pay its creditors, and so would likely be exempt under section 260A(1)(a). The Board is also of the view that the section 260A(1)(c) exemption is applicable, and at the relevant times will be applicable, to any loans that may be granted for the acquisition of shares under the Plan. Accordingly, the Company will not be seeking Shareholder approval with respect to section 260A of the Corporations Act.

Permit the Company to take security over its own Shares

The Plan provides for the Company to take security over Shares issued under the Plan, and to place restrictions on transfer and voting which may also constitute taking security over its own Shares. Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from taking security over shares in itself or in a company that controls it, unless one of the exceptions in subsections 259B(2) or 259(3) applies. Section 259(2) of the Corporations Act permits the taking of security by a company over its own shares if the security is taken over shares issued under an employee share scheme approved via an ordinary resolution at a meeting of shareholders of the company.

"Employee share scheme" is defined widely by the Corporations Act and includes the Plan.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought under this Resolution to approve the Plan in order for the Company to take security over its own shares issued under the Plan if required to do so.

Board Recommendation

As the Directors of the Company are excluded from voting pursuant to the Listing Rules, they make no recommendation to the shareholders in respect of the EIP. The Chair in his capacity as proxy holder intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of approving this Resolution.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

Resolution 8: Approval of 10% Placement Facility

Background

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, at the date of this Notice, an eligible entity.

The Company is seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability, if required, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period (as described below) without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see below).

If Shareholders do not approve this Resolution, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at this Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

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. This means it 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).

(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 one class of quoted Equity Securities, being Fully Paid Ordinary Shares.

(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

is the number of shares on issue at the commencement of the "relevant period" (which, for the Company, is the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement):

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
  • (B) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
    • (i) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
    • (ii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
    • (i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
    • (ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
  • (D) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
  • (E) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;
  • (F) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the relevant period.

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 relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by 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.

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 above).

(e) Nature of consideration for issue and Minimum Issue Price

The Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per security which 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 by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or
  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement 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 first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained;
  • (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting;
  • (iii) the time and 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).

(10% Placement Period).

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) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders, the period for which the Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained, being 8 November 2022, and expires on the first to occur of the following:

    • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained, being 8 November 2023;
    • (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting;
    • (iii) the time and 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).
  • (b) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's 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 by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or
    • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
  • (c) The purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under rule 7.1A.2 may be used by the Company include:

    • (i) advancements of the Company's current and future exploration tenements; and
    • (i) general working capital.
  • (d) 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 table below. Shareholders may also be exposed to economic risk and voting dilution, including the following:

    • (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 Annual General Meeting; and
    • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,

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

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares as at 3 October 2022 (Current Share Price) 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:

  • 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
  • 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:

  • No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • 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%.

  • 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 Annual General Meeting.

  • 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.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

  • The Current Share Price is $0.015 (1.5 cents), being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 3 October 2022.

  • (e) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A(4) 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 relevant 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 issues or other issues 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, subject to compliance with Listing Rule 10.11, and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Equity Issues over the Last 12 Months – Listing Rule 7.3A.6

Resolution 9: Renewal of Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions in the Constitution

Background

Clause 36 of the Company's Constitution contains provisions dealing with shareholder approval requirements if there was to be any partial takeover bids for the Company's securities (Proportional Takeover Provisions).

A "Proportional Takeover Bid" is an off-market bid for a specified proportion of the Company's securities held by each shareholder in a class for which a takeover bid has been made. It is not a bid for all securities held by all members of that class, only part of the securities each member holds.

Section 648G of the Corporations Act provides that these Proportional Takeover Provisions cease to apply at the end of 3 years from their adoption (or last renewal) or, if a company's constitution provides that the Proportional Takeover Provisions apply for a specified period of less than 3 years and they have not been renewed, the specified period. The Proportional Takeover Provisions may be renewed in the same manner as that in which a company could alter its constitution to insert proportional takeover approval provisions, namely by special resolution of the members.

The Board believes it is appropriate that the Proportional Takeover Provisions of the Company's Constitution (Clause 36) be renewed.

This Resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at this Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Information required by Section 648G of the Corporations Act

(a) Effect of provisions proposed to be renewed

Clause 36 of the Constitution provides that the Company is prohibited from registering any transfer of shares giving effect to a contract of sale pursuant to a Proportional Takeover Bid unless and until a resolution approving the Proportional Takeover Bid is passed by shareholders at a general meeting of the Company (Approving Resolution). The person making the offer for the securities (Bidder) (and their associates) cannot vote on the Approving Resolution and the Approving Resolution requires the approval of more than one half of members who are entitled to vote at that meeting.

Under the Corporations Act, the Directors must ensure that an Approving Resolution is voted on at least 14 days before the last day of the bid period. If the Approving Resolution is not passed, transfers resulting from acceptances for the Proportional Takeover Bid will not be registered and the bid will be taken to have been withdrawn. However, the Corporations Act also provides that, if the meeting is not held within the time required, then an Approving Resolution will be deemed to have been passed.

If Resolution 9 is passed, then clause 36 of the Constitution will be renewed and the Company will be permitted to register a transfer of Shares giving effect to a contract of sale pursuant to a Proportional Takeover Bid only if an Approving Resolution is obtained. If Resolution 9 is not passed, clause 36 of the Constitution will not be renewed and the Company will not be required to obtain an Approving Resolution before registering a transfer of Shares pursuant to a Proportional Takeover Bid.

(b) Reason for the resolution

Clause 36 of the Constitution is required to be renewed as more than 3 years have passed since the last renewal of the Constitution. Section 648(G)(1) of the Corporations Act provides that proportional bid provisions such as provided in Clause 36 cease to apply at the end of 3 years from their adoption (or their last renewal). Section 648(G)(4) enables shareholders to approve a renewal of proportional bid provisions.

The Board believes that shareholders should continue to have the choice of considering whether to accept a proportional takeover bid, which may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their securities (rather than just some of their securities, as would be the case under a Proportional Takeover Bid). By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. The Proportional Takeover Provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

To preserve this choice, Clause 36 needs to be renewed. If Clause 36 is renewed and a Proportional Takeover Bid (if any) is subsequently approved by shareholders, each shareholder will still have the right to make a separate decision whether that shareholder wishes to accept the Proportional Takeover Bid for their own securities.

(c) Awareness of current acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice, none of the Directors are aware of any proposal for any person to acquire (or increase the extent of) a substantial interest in the Company.

(d) Advantages and disadvantages of the proportional bid provisions since last renewed

As there have been no takeover bids made for any of the shares in the Company since the last renewal of the proportional bid provisions, there has been no application of Clause 36. It may be argued that the potential advantages and disadvantages described below have also applied for the period since adoption of Clause 36.

(e) Potential advantages and disadvantages of the proposed resolution for both directors and shareholders

The Directors consider that the Proportional Takeover Provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a Proportional Takeover Bid should be approved.

The potential advantages of renewing the Proportional Takeover Provisions for Shareholders include:

(a) retaining the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a Proportional Takeover Bid should proceed;

  • (b) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked into a minority, or having less opportunity in the future to sell their Shares at a price that is considered attracted to Shareholders (because of the presence of a majority shareholder);
  • (c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any Proportional Takeover Bid is adequately priced and not opportunistic; and
  • (d) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the Proportional Takeover Bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders, which may assist in deciding whether or not to accept an offer under the Bid.

The potential disadvantages of renewing the Proportional Takeover Provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) Proportional Takeover Bids may be discouraged;
  • (b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of Shares at a premium; and
  • (c) the likelihood of a Proportional Takeover Bid succeeding may be reduced.

Board Recommendation

Balancing the above advantages and disadvantages, the Board is of the view that the advantages of renewing the Proportional Takeover Provisions outweigh the disadvantages and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.

The Chair of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.
