Voting exclusion statements

Certain voting restrictions apply to the Resolutions as detailed beneath the Resolutions in the Notice.

Proxies

Please note that:

  • a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;

  • a proxy need not be a Shareholder;

  • a Shareholder may appoint a body corporate or an individual as its proxy;

  • a body corporate appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers that the body may exercise as the Shareholder’s proxy; and

  • Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as its proxy and the body corporate wishes to appoint an individual as its representative, the body corporate 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 or its share registry in advance of the Annual General Meeting or handed in at the Annual General Meeting when registering as a corporate representative.

Members of Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties will not be able to vote as proxy on Resolution 1 unless the Shareholder directs them how to vote or, in the case of the Chair, unless the Shareholder expressly authorises him to do so. If a Shareholder intends to appoint a member of Key

4

Management Personnel or their Closely Related Parties (other than the Chair) as its proxy, the Shareholder should ensure that it directs the proxy how to vote on Resolution 1.

If a Shareholder intends to appoint the Chair as its proxy on Resolution 1, the Shareholder can direct the Chair how to vote by marking one of the boxes for the Resolutions (for example, if the Shareholder wishes to vote ‘for’, ‘against’ or to ‘abstain’ from voting). If a Shareholder does not direct the Chair how to vote, the Shareholder can expressly authorise the Chair to vote as the Chair thinks fit on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box on the Proxy Form even though the Resolution is connected to the remuneration of members of Key Management Personnel and even if the Chair has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and send by:

  • post to the Company at Level 11, London House, 216 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000;

  • facsimile to the Company on +61 (08) 9463 6103; or

  • email to the Company Secretary at [email protected],

so that it is received by no later than 10.00 am (WST) on 24 November 2019. Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.

Voting entitlements

In accordance with Regulations 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register of Shareholders as at 10.00am (WST) on 24 November 2019. Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining a Shareholder’s entitlement to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.

1. ITEM 1 – ANNUAL REPORT

The Annual Report, comprising the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report for the year ended 30 June 2019, will be laid before the Annual General Meeting.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve these Reports. However, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions or make comments about these Reports and the management of the Company. Shareholders will also be given an opportunity to ask the auditor questions about the:

  • (a) conduct of the audits;

  • (b) preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report;

  • (c) accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (d) independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audits.

In addition to taking questions at the Annual General Meeting, written questions to the Chair about the management of the Company, or to the Company’s auditor about the content of the Auditor’s Report or the conduct of the audit, may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the date of the Annual General Meeting to the Company Secretary at [email protected].

The Company’s Annual Report is available on the Company’s website at www.titaniumsands.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 is included in the Directors’ Report in the Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

Section 249L(2) of the Corporations Act requires a company to inform Shareholders that a resolution on the Remuneration Report will be put at the Annual General Meeting. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a resolution that the Remuneration Report adopted be put to the vote. Resolution 1 seeks this approval.

In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders should note that Resolution 1 is “advisory only” resolutions which does not bind the Directors. Under section 250SA of the Corporations Act, the Chair will provide a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

If at least 25% of the votes on Resolution 1 are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company’s 2020 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) to consider the appointment of the Directors ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the Spill Meeting within 90 days of the Company’s 2020 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who are in office when the Company’s 2020 Directors’ Report is 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.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR JASON FERRIS

Rule 9.3 of the Company’s Constitution requires that one third of the Company’s directors must retire at each annual general meeting. Accordingly, Mr Ferris retires by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote.

Mr Ferris has worked in financial services, property and corporate finance industries for more than 25 years. Mr Ferris is an experienced company director having served on the board of numerous public and private companies in Australia, South Africa and United Kingdom. He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management (FAIM) and is a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (MAICD). He has also facilitated many joint venture opportunities in both property, tech and mining sectors.

The Directors (excluding Mr Ferris) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

4.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities totaling up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the entity’s 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 an eligible entity. The Company currently has a market capitalisation of $12,706,323 based on a share price of $0.02, being the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 11 October 2019.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. As Resolution 3 is a special resolution, at least 75% of the votes cast must be cast in favour of the Resolution in order for it to be passed.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The Board believes that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

4.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

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.

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.

As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the only quoted Equity Securities that the Company has on issue are fully paid ordinary shares.

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

7

annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

(C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

(D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months. 10

Note that “A” has the same meaning as 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 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

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 to “Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility” Section above).

Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A 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; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

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 earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; and

  • (ii) the 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),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).

8

4.3 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) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of 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; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 3 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 below table. There is a risk that:

  • (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 or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

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 current market price of Shares 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:

  • (i) 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

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  - 1 The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  - 2 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%.

  - 3 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.

  - 4 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.

  - 5 The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. 6 The issue price is $0.02, being the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 11 October 2019.
  • (c) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company may use the funds raised towards its existing projects and/or for acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions) and general working capital. The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (e) 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 persons to whom the Equity Securities will be issued will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

    • (i) the purpose of the issue;

    • (ii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

    • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

    • (iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

    • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

The persons issued securities under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting but are likely to be investors which are sophisticated and/or professional investors for the purposes of section 708 of the Corporations Act. No Equity Securities will be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A to related parties of the Company.

10

If the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the persons issued securities under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

  • (f) The Company did not seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its last annual general meeting. The Company last obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2015 annual general meeting held on 26 November 2015.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

  • (h) During the 12 months preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting the Company has or will have issued a total of 659,400,022 Equity Securities, representing 353% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution and seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, for the issue of 10,000,000 Shares to CPS Capital Group for ongoing corporate advisory services.

Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, prior approval of shareholders is required for an issue of securities by a company if those securities, when aggregated with the securities issued by the company without approval and which were not subject to an exception during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that where a company approves an issue of securities, the company’s 15% capacity will be replenished and the company will be able to issue further securities up to that limit.

Resolution 4 seeks approval for the issue of 10,000,000 Shares for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 4 is approved, the Shares issued will not affect the capacity of the Company to issue securities in the next 12 months under Listing Rule 7.1 as those securities, once issued, will be excluded from the calculations under Listing Rule 7.1.

14

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4:

(a) Maximum number of securities the entity is to issue

10,000,000 Shares.

(b) Date by which the entity will issue the securities

The Shares will be issued to CPS Capital Group upon receiving shareholder approval at the Meeting. In any event, however, no Shares will be issued later than 3 months after the Meeting (other than to the extent permitted by any waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

  • (c) Issue price of the securities

No cash consideration is payable for the Shares as they are being issued in consideration of ongoing corporate advisory services provided to the Company,

The Shares will have a deemed issue price of $0.02, based on the closing value on 11 October 2019, being a total value of $200,000.

(d) Names of the persons to whom the entity will issue the securities (if known) or basis upon which those persons will be identified or selected

CPS Capital Group (and/or its nominees).

(e) Terms of the securities

The Shares will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue.

(f) Intended use of the funds raised

No funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares as they are being issued in consideration of services provided by CPS Capital Group for ongoing corporate advisory services.

Directors’ recommendations

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION

6.1 General and reasons for amending the Company’s Constitution

Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 5 seeks the approval of Shareholders to amend the Constitution. Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore 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).

The Company is seeking an amendment to the Constitution as a result of ASX’s proposed introduction of a number of changes to the escrow regime in the Listing Rules effective 1 December 2019 to make aspects of the listing process and ongoing compliance with the Listing Rules more efficient for issuers and for ASX.

Amongst these changes, ASX is proposing to introduce a two-tier escrow regime where ASX can and will require certain more significant holders of Restricted Securities and their controllers to execute a

15

formal escrow agreement in the form of Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings, ASX will instead permit entities to rely on a provision in their constitution imposing appropriate escrow restrictions on the holder of Restricted Securities and to simply give a notice to the holder of Restricted Securities in the form of a new Appendix 9C advising them of those restrictions.

Under the proposed amended rule 2.11 of the Constitution (see below), holders of Restricted Securities will be taken to have agreed in writing that Restricted Securities are to be kept on the Company's issuer sponsored sub-register and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the applicable escrow period. Holders of Restricted Securities will also not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those Securities during the applicable escrow period, except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX.

6.2 Specific amendments to the Company’s Constitution

The proposed amendments to rule 2.11 of the Constitution are as follows (amendments are shown as ~~deleted~~ or underlined):

2.11 Restricted Securities

  • (a) the Company must comply with the Listing Rules in respect of Restricted Securities.

  • (b) ~~Notwithstanding the generality of rule 2.11(a):~~

  • ~~(1) Restricted Securities cannot be disposed of during the relevant escrow period except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX; and~~

  • ~~(2) the Company must refuse to acknowledge an assignment or disposal (including registering a transfer) of Restricted Securities during the relevant escrow period except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX; and~~

  • ~~(3) during a breach of the Listing Rules relating to Restricted Securities or a breach of any escrow agreement, the holder of the Restricted Securities is not entitled to any dividend, distribution or voting rights in respect of the Restricted Securities.~~

  • (b) a holder of restricted securities must not dispose of, or agree or offer to dispose of, the securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX;

  • (c) if the securities are in the same class as quoted securities, the holder will be taken to have agreed in writing that the restricted securities are to be kept on the Company’s issuer sponsored subregister and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the escrow period applicable to those securities;

  • (d) the Company will refuse to acknowledge any disposal (including, without limitation, to register any transfer) of restricted securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX;

  • (e) a holder of restricted securities will not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX; and

  • (f) if a holder of restricted securities breaches a restriction deed or a provision of the Company’s constitution restricting a disposal of those securities, the holder will not be entitled to any dividend or distribution, or to exercise any voting rights, in respect of those securities for so long as the breach continues.

A copy of the proposed amended Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the proposed amended Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon

16

request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
