About Talisman Mining

Talisman Mining Limited (ASX:TLM) is an Australian mineral development and exploration company. The Company’s aim is to maximise shareholder value through exploration, discovery and development of complementary opportunities in base and precious metals.

Talisman holds 100% of the Sinclair Nickel Project located in the world-class Agnew-Wiluna greenstone belt in WA’s north-eastern Goldfields. The Sinclair nickel deposit, developed and commissioned in 2008 and operated successfully before being placed on care and maintenance in August 2013, produced approximately 38,500 tonnes of nickel at an average life-of-mine head grade of 2.44% nickel. Sinclair has extensive infrastructure and includes a substantial 290km[2] tenement package covering more than 80km of strike in prospective ultramafic contact within a 35km radius of existing processing plant and infrastructure.

Talisman has also secured tenements in the Cobar/Mineral Hill region in Central NSW through the grant of its own Exploration Licenses and through separate farm-in agreements. The Cobar/Mineral Hill region is a richly mineralised district that hosts several base and precious metal mines including the CSA, Tritton, and Hera/ Nymagee mines. This region contains highly prospective geology that has produced many long-life, high-grade mineral discoveries. Talisman has identified a number of areas within its Lachlan Cu-Au Project tenements that show evidence of base and precious metals endowment which have had very little modern systematic exploration completed to date. Talisman believes there is significant potential for the discovery of substantial base metals and gold mineralisation within this land package.

VOTING BY A CORPORATION

The Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders to which this Notice of Meeting relates will be held at 12.00 pm (WST) on Friday, 30 November 2018 at:

Parmelia Hilton Perth 14 Mill Street Perth, Western Australia 6000

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

The business of the Annual General Meeting affects your shareholding and your vote is important.

A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed. Shareholders can download and fill out the 'Appointment of Corporate Representation' form from the website of the share registry of the Company – www.linkmarketservices.com.au.

VOTING BY PROXY

HOW TO VOTE

Shareholders can vote by either:

  • attending the meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or

  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the proxy form accompanying this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, on-line, by post, or by facsimile.

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.

The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).

VOTING IN PERSON

Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 30 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and attendance recorded. Attorneys should bring with them an original or certified copy of the power of attorney under which they have been authorised to attend and vote at the Meeting.

A proxy need not be a shareholder and can be either an individual or a body corporate.

Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.

If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.

2

Shareholders who return their proxy forms with a direction how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chairman as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a proxy form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chairman will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chairman, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used where possible to support each of the resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed resolutions.

To be effective, proxies must be lodged by 12 pm (WST) on 28 November 2018 . Proxies lodged after this time will be invalid.

Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:

  • by post to Talisman Mining Limited C/- Link Market Services Limited, Locked Bag A14, Sydney South NSW 1235;

(a) by or on behalf of a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of such member, regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or

(b) by a person appointed as a proxy, where that person is either a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of such member.

However, a vote may be cast by such persons if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person who is excluded from voting on this Resolution, and:

(a) the person is appointed as a proxy that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on this Resolution; or

(b) the person is the Chairman and the appointment of the Chairman as proxy does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on this Resolution, but expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if this Resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 12.00 pm (WST) on Friday, 30 November 2018 at the Parmelia Hilton Perth, 14 Mill Street, Perth, WA 6000.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. ANNUAL REPORT

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company’s 2018 Annual Report is available at www.talismanmining.com.au. Those holders that elected to receive a printed copy of the Annual Report will have received a copy with this Notice.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1. 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.

2.2. 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.

2.3. 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.

6

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – JEREMY KIRKWOOD

The constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting. Mr Jeremy Kirkwood retires from office in accordance with these requirements and being eligible offers himself for re-election by Shareholders as a Director of the Company, with effect from the end of the Meeting.

Jeremy Kirkwood joined Talisman in April 2016 and has extensive experience in corporate strategy, investment banking and global capital markets and provides invaluable strategic input and guidance to the Company’s board and management team.

Jeremy is a principal of Pilot Advisory Group and was previously a Managing Director at Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley and Austock. He has primarily worked in public markets, undertaking merger and acquisitions and capital raisings for companies principally in the metals and mining, energy and infrastructure sectors.

In the 3 years immediately before the end of the financial year, Jeremy also served as a Director of ASX listed Zenitas Ltd (ASX: ZNT) resigning on 5 March 2018. He was appointed as the Chairman of Kin Mining Ltd (ASX: KIN) in February 2018.

He is also the Chair of Geelong Grammar School and a Director of Independent Schools Victoria. In addition Jeremy is a Trustee of the RE Ross Trust, a philanthropic trust and is a director of Hillview Quarries Pty Ltd.

Jeremy serves on the Company’s Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees. With extensive industry experience, Jeremy is considered qualified to hold these responsibilities.

If elected the Board considers Jeremy Kirkwood will be an independent director.

The Board supports the re-election of Jeremy Kirkwood and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

4.1. General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

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.

As at the date of this Notice, 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 $52.92 M (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 24 October 2018.

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security

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

7

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

If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

Resolution 3 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 3 for it to be passed.

4.2. 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 3:

(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 section 4.2(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:

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

  • (ii) 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 3 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.

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 market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 12 October 2018.

The table also shows 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 185,699,879 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 24 October 2018 and without adjustment for any dividend distributions or capital returns being made by the Company . At a general meeting of Shareholders held on 4 October 2018, conditional approval was granted for a capital return of up to $0.25 per Share.

  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.

  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 Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

9

(b) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

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 acquisitions), continued exploration on the Company’s current projects, and / or for general working capital purposes; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions), in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

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

(c) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (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;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

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

(d) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 23 November 2017 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2017, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities for any other purpose.

  • (e) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.54

10

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:

  • (i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

4.3. Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE AND EMPLOYEE EQUITY PLAN (EEEP)

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled Executive and Employee Equity Plan ( EEEP ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).

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 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the EEEP to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

No securities have been issued under the EEEP as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

8,800,000 Options have been issued under the pre-existing Executive and Employee Option Plan ( EEOP ) since the date of the last Shareholder approval of the EEOP (10 November 2016). No Shares have been issued on the exercise of EEOP Options during this period. It is intended that adoption of the EEEP will replace the EEOP and no further Options will be issued under the EEOP.

The objectives of the EEEP are to:

  • (a) provide eligible persons with an opportunity to participate in an incentive plan which recognises ongoing contribution to the achievement by the Company of its strategic objectives;

  • (b) align the interests of participants with shareholders through the sharing of a personal interest in the future growth and development of the Company;

  • (c) encourage eligible persons to improve the performance of the Company and its total return to Shareholders; and

  • (d) provide a means of attracting and retaining skilled and experienced eligible persons.

Any future issues of securities under the EEEP 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 will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the EEEP is set out in Schedule 1. In addition, a copy of the EEEP is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting.

A copy of the EEEP can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (Alex Neuling). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

6. ENQUIRIES

5. Vesting

A grant of Rights or Options does not confer any legal or equitable interests in Restricted Shares or Shares (as applicable) represented by the Rights or Options until the relevant Vesting Date and any exercise or conversion to Restricted Shares or Shares (as applicable) has been completed.

Unless the Board determines otherwise, the vesting, exercise and conversion of any Plan Interests under the Plan will only occur in accordance with the terms specified in the invitation.

The Board may determine that a vested and exercised Right or Option will be satisfied by the Company making a cash payment to the participant in lieu of allocating Shares.

The Board may waive, amend or replace any performance measure in a Vesting Condition attaching to a Right or Option if the Board determines that the specific measure is no longer appropriate or applicable, provided that the interests of the relevant participant are not, in the opinion of the Board, materially prejudiced or advantaged relative to the position reasonably anticipated at the time of the grant.

6. Restrictions

Participants must not dispose of any Restricted Shares until the removal of any holding lock or the satisfaction of any other restrictions.

Participants must comply with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy at all times.

7. Cessation of employment

Unless the Board determines otherwise, where a participant ceases to be an employee, all unvested Plan Interests will lapse or be forfeited.

In the event that a participant ceases employment due to death, permanent disability or any other reason determined by the Board from time to time, a participant will continue to hold unvested Plan Interests on a pro-rata basis.

8. Clawback and preventing inappropriate behaviours

Where in the opinion of the Board, a participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in material breach of his or her obligations to the Company and/or its subsidiaries, any unvested Plan Interests, vested but unexercised Options or Rights and/or any Restricted Shares will lapse or are deemed forfeited (as applicable) immediately, unless the Board determines otherwise.

9. Takeovers

If there is a “control event”, the Board may in its discretion convert all or any of a participant’s Rights to Shares, or permit the exercise of some or all Rights or Options, whether or not Vesting Conditions have been satisfied. Further, the Board may remove any disposal restrictions, whether or not all requirements have been satisfied.

15

11. Dividends and Voting Rights

A participant has no right to receive dividends or distributions in respect of unvested or lapsed Rights or Options.

At the Board’s discretion and subject to: the terms specified in the Invitation; the Vesting Conditions that apply to a Right or Option being satisfied; and the Exercise Price being paid, a participant may be entitled to receive a payment equal to a dividend or distribution made in respect of Shares during the period between the Date of Registration and the Vesting Date as though the participant had been holding Shares during that period on a one-for-one basis, instead of Rights or Options.

12. Ranking of Restricted Shares

Restricted Shares will rank equally with all existing Shares on and from the Date of Registration in respect of all Shareholder entitlements (including rights issues, bonus issues and dividends) which have a record date for determining entitlements on or after the date of issue of those Restricted Shares.

Where Restricted Shares or Shares are not yet quoted on the official list of the ASX, the Company must apply for quotation as soon as practicable.

13. Legal compliance

Notwithstanding any rule in the Plan, securities will not be allocated, issued, acquired, transferred or otherwise dealt with under the Plan if to do so would:

  • a) contravene the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the ASX Listing Rules, or any other applicable laws; or

require the Company or its related bodies corporate to pay, provide, or procure the payment or provision of, any money or benefits to the participant which would require shareholder approval under Part 2D.2, Division 2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
