-
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).

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 Wednesday, 5 May 2021. 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.

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 31 December 2020 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
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 2022 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 2022 Annual General Meeting. All of the directors who were in office when the Company's 2022 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 re-election 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 period ending 31 December 2020.
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.
