EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement should be read in its entirety. If Shareholders are in doubt as to how they should vote, they should seek advice from their accountant, solicitor or other professional adviser prior to voting.
This Explanatory Statement is provided to the shareholders of Mount Burgess Mining N.L. pursuant to and in satisfaction of Sections 208, 218 and 219 of the Corporations Act and Sections 7.2, 7.4, 10.11, 10.12, 10.14 and 10.15 of the Listing Rules. This Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.
By Resolution 1 the Company is seeking shareholder ratification of a previous Issue of Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4.
By Resolutions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 the Company is proposing to issue shares to Directors of the Company namely Messrs Stirling, O’Regan, Taylor, Mosigi and Forrester. By virtue of Listing Rule 10.11 and Exception 4 of Listing Rule 10.12 the Company must not issue shares to Messrs Stirling, O’Regan, Taylor, Mosigi or Forrester without the approval of the Company’s shareholders. By virtue of Listing Rule 10.14, the Notice of Meeting seeking the approval of the Company’s shareholders must include the matters set out in Listing Rule 10.15.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits issues of equity securities by a listed company exceeding 15% of capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval. Listing Rule 7.2 provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities made with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly if shareholders approve Resolutions 1-6, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of shares will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
RESOLUTION 1
Ratification of Previous Issue of Securities
Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a limit on the number of equity securities (e.g. shares or options to subscribe for shares) which a company can issue without shareholder approval. In general terms the limit is that a company may not, without shareholder approval issue in any 12 month period, equity securities which are more than 15% of:
-
the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the issue plus
-
the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in that 12 months under an exception contained in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval.
Equity securities which are issued under an exception contained in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval do not reduce the number of shares that may be issued by the Company under Listing Rule 7.1
Shareholder approval can be obtained either before or after the equity securities are issued.
Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of equity securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 when made and the company’s members subsequently approve it.
Under Resolution 1 the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for, and ratification of, the previous issue of equity securities as set out below and confirms that the issue did not breach the Company’s 15% placement capacity at that time.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5 the Company provides the following information:

Shares issued from this placement rank parri passu with existing shares.
The Company is applying funds raised in the above placement towards working capital and exploration work on its REE and Diamond Prospects in Namibia and on its Zinc/Lead/Silver development at Kihabe in Botswana.
The Board believes that the ratification of this issue is beneficial for the Company. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it allows the Company to ratify the above issue of Shares and retain the flexibility to issue the maximum number of equity securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval.
2 Resolution 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Issue of Shares to Directors
2.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of $190,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Shares ) to the related parties as follows:
| ws: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 2 | Mr A P Stirling | $48,000 |
| Resolution | 3 | Mr R W O”Regan | $48,000 |
| Resolution | 4 | Mr G E Taylor | $44,000 |
| Resolution | 5 | Mr B M Mosigi | $17,000 |
| Resolution | 6 | Mr N R Forrester | $33,000 |
on the terms and conditions set out below.
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
5
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies. Listing Rule 10.13.3 requires the shares to be issued within one month after the date of approval by shareholders in general meeting.
The issue of the Shares to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Director Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and as Directors, Messrs Stirling, O’Regan, Taylor, Mosigi and Forrester are related parties of the Company. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 may not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Shares to the Related Parties.
2.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Shares:
-
(a) the related parties are Messrs Stirling, O’Regan, Taylor, Mosigi and Forrester and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be issued under this approval to the Related Parties is:
-
(i) $48,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares to Mr Stirling;
-
(ii) $48,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares to Mr O’Regan;
-
(iii) $44,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares to Mr Taylor;
-
(iv) $17,000 worth of fully paid shares to Mr Mosigi
-
(v) $33,000 worth of fully paid shares to Mr N R Forrester
The fully paid shares would be issued at the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the shares in the five ASX trading days prior to issue.
As an example, between 1–31 December 2010 Mount Burgess shares have traded in a range of 1.4 to 2.1 cents. Therefore if the Mount Burgess share price (VWAP) was 1.4 cents per share then 3,428,571 shares would be issued to each of Messrs Stirling and O’Regan and 3,142,857 shares would be issued to Mr Taylor, 1,214,285 shares would be issued to Mr Mosigi and 2,357,142 shares would be issued to Mr Forrester. If the Mount Burgess share price (VWAP) was the higher figure of 2.1 cents, then 2,285,714 shares would be issued to each of Messrs Stirling and O’Regan and 2,095,238 shares would be issued to Mr Taylor, 809,523 shares would be issued to Mr Mosigi and 1,571,428 shares would be issued to Mr Forrester.
-
(c) the Shares will be issued to the Related Parties no later than one month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on one date;
-
(d) the Shares are being issued to the Directors in lieu of their directors fees and salary sacrifice for the previous financial years. As such the Shares will be granted for nil cash consideration, and no funds will be raised;
-
(e) the shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and on the same terms as the Company’s existing shares;
-
(f) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are set out below:

217,488* | 217,082* | 33,000** |
| * This amount is made up of salary, including provision for annual leave; non-monetary (parking benefits plus fbt), superannuation and other long term employee benefits (provision for long service leave). ** Note: Whilst Mr Forrester’s salary sacrifice commenced on 1/12/08 he is only seeking approval for reimbursementfrom 1July2009. |
In November 2008 the non-executive Directors of the Company resolved that due to troubled market conditions and in order to preserve the Company’s funds they would until further notice not take their fees in cash. Mr Forrester, as Chairman and Managing Director of the Company did not take a salary increase as approved by the Board in November 2008.
Based on the most recent closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX, the value of the Shares to be issued to each Related Party is as follows:
Mr A P Stirling $48,000 Mr R W O’Regan $48,000 Mr G E Taylor $44,000 Mr B Mosigi $17,000 Mr N R Forrester $33,000
(h) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the preparation of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:
Price Date
Highest 2.7 cents on 22[nd] October 2010 Lowest 0.6 cents on 23 August 2010 Last 1.9 cents on 10 January 2011
7
(i) As at 10 January, the date of preparation of this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory statement, the Company’s issued share capital stands at 370,457,000 shares. If approval is given by shareholders for the issue of shares to be granted in accordance with Resolutions 2-6 then the following would apply.
Assuming VWAP share prices in (h) above
-
At 2.7 cents
-
the Company’s issued shares would increase by 7,037,037
-
existing shareholders’ holdings would be diluted by 1.86%
-
-
At 1.9 cents
-
the Company’s issued shares would increase by 10,000,000
-
existing shareholders’ holdings would be diluted by 2.63%
-
-
At 0.6 cents
-
the Company’s issued shares would increase by 31,666,666
-
existing shareholders’ holdings would be diluted by 7.87%
-
-
(j) the main purpose of the issue of the Shares to the Related Parties is to provide cost effective consideration to the Related Parties for their contribution to the Company in their respective roles as Directors. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Shares upon the terms proposed;
-
(k) the Board acknowledges the issue of Shares to the Related Parties is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Shares to the Related Parties is reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to maintain the Company’s cash reserves;
-
(l) Mr Stirling declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 2, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Board, excluding Mr Stirling, is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution;
-
(m) Mr O’Regan declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

The Board, excluding Mr O’Regan is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution;
-
(n) Mr Godfrey Taylor declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. The Board, excluding Mr Taylor is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution;
-
(o) Mr Mosigi declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

-
