NOTES

DETERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP AND VOTING ENTITLEMENT

Everyone who is registered as a Shareholder at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 10 October 2017 can vote at the Annual General Meeting.

You may vote by:

(a) attending the Annual General Meeting in person (yourself or by sending an attorney, or, if you hold Shares through a company, by sending a corporate representative on your behalf); or

(b) completing and returning a proxy form.

A proxy form accompanies this Notice of Annual General Meeting. The proxy form contains instructions on how to complete the form, the rules applicable to proxies, where to send the form and information regarding corporate representatives.

VOTING BY PROXY

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by the time and in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form.

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

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

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

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

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

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

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

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

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

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

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

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

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

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

Corporate Representative

Any corporate shareholder who has appointed a person to act as its corporate representative at the Meeting should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that company’s representative. The authority may be sent to the Company and/or registry in advance of the Meeting or handed in at the Meeting when registering as a corporate representative.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of a Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of shareholders of Timah Resources Limited to be held on Thursday 12 October 2017. This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice and the reasons for the resolutions proposed. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.

All the resolutions are ordinary resolutions. They are separate resolutions and in no way dependent on each other.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Resolution 1 - To adopt the Directors' Remuneration Report.

The Corporation Act requires all listed companies to present their remuneration report for each financial year for adoption by shareholders at the company's annual general meeting. The report can be found as a separately identified "Remuneration Report" within the Directors' Report section of the Company's 2017 Annual Report.

The Annual Report is available on the Company website – www.timahresources.com.au or if a hard copy is required you can request either a pdf be emailed or a hard copy be mailed to you.

To do this either:

Email: [email protected] Phone: +61 2 9680 2662 or 0411 567 157 Fax: +61 2 9680 9894

Corporate information is also available on the ASX website under Timah Resources Limited (ASX: TML)

Time will be allowed during the annual general meeting for consideration and questions by shareholders of the Remuneration Report.

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 directors or the company.

Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the remuneration report at the annual general meeting, and then again at the Company's 2017 Annual General Meeting, the company will be required to put to shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an Extraordinary General Meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( spill resolution ).

If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general meeting (spill meeting) within 90 days of the Company's 2017 Annual General Meeting. All of the directors who were in office when the Company's 2017 Directors' report 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 re-election at the spill meeting. Following the spill meeting those persons whose election or reelection as directors is approved will be 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 the financial year ending 30 June 2017.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

Proxy Restrictions

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the chair, or another member of key management personnel or any closely related party as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote. where you do not direct the chair, or another member of key management personnel or closely related party on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders approve this resolution.

Resolution 2 - To elect Mr Mah King Seng is an ordinary resolution, requiring the support of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders.

Mr Mah King Seng has been appointed as an Executive Director of the company on the 16[th] September 2015.

The constitution of the company requires that at each annual general meeting one-third of the directors shall retire in rotation. Mr Mah King Seng therefore retires at the forthcoming annual general meeting in accordance with the Constitution and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election.

Mr Mah King Seng is a Malaysian resident aged 59 years old. He has almost 38 years of experience in oil palm cultivation, milling and construction.

He graduated from University of Minnesota, United States of America with a degree in Agricultural Science in 1978. In 1980, he attended the Palm Oil Mill Engineer/Executive Training course on palm oil mill operations organised by the Malaysian Oil Palm Growers Council. He subsequently obtained his Bachelor of Laws Degree in 1985 from the University of Buckingham, United Kingdom and was admitted and enrolled as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya in 1990.

The directors (with Mr Mah King Seng abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.

Resolution 3 - To elect Ms Michelle Siew Yee Lee is an ordinary resolution, requiring the support of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders.

Ms Michelle Siew Yee Lee has been appointed as a Non-executive Director of the company on the 16[th] September 2015.

The constitution of the company requires that at each annual general meeting one-third of the directors shall retire in rotation. MS Michelle Siew Yee Lee therefore retires at the forthcoming annual general meeting in accordance with the Constitution and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election.

Ms Michelle Siew Yee Lee is an Australian resident and is 38 years old.

She graduated from Monash University, Australia with a Bachelor of Business (Accounting) in 2003 and enrolled in the Chartered Accountant program, after which she worked as an accountant for several years.
