EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO THE PLACEMENT

  • (a) The Placement

As announced on 27 January 2021, the Company received applications for a Share placement comprising 50,833,333 Shares at an issue price of $0.06 per Share to sophisticated and professional investors to raise a total of $3,050,000 ( Placement ). On 3 February 2021 as part of the Placement, the Company issued 45,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.06 per Share to raise $2,700,000 ( Placement Shares ). For further information regarding the Placement Shares, refer to Section 2.

Director Mr Tony Leibowitz wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as the recipients of the Placement Shares ( Placement Participants ) by subscribing for 5,833,333 Shares at $0.06 per Share to raise a further $350,000. As such, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares to Mr Leibowitz. For further information relating to this issue, refer to Section 3.

(b) Lead Manager

The Company engaged the services of Westar Capital Limited (ACN 009 372 838) ( Westar ), to act as the Placement’s lead manager.

The Company and Westar entered into a lead manager mandate to set out the terms of Westar’s engagement ( Lead Manager Mandate ). The material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate are as follows:

  • (i) ( Condition ): The Company must obtain all necessary approvals, including the approval of its shareholders in accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Bye-Laws and the ASX Listing Rules, to undertake the Placement.

  • (ii) ( Lead Manager Fee ): The Company has agreed to pay Westar the following fees in relation to the Placement:

  • (A) a 2% management fee on total monies raised under the Placement; and

  • (B) 4% of the gross amount raised by the issue of the Shares under the Placement introduced by Westar.

If other brokers participate in the Placement, they will receive a fee agreed between Westar and the other brokers, payable by Westar.

  • (iii) ( Options ) in consideration for the provision of lead management services, and subejct to receipt of Shareholder approval, the Company agreed to issue Westar (or its nominees) 1,000,000 Options on the terms set out in Schedule 1 ( Broker Options ). Should Shareholder approval not be obtained, no Broker Options will be issued.

  • (iv) ( Termination Fee ): In the event that the Company terminates the Lead Manager Mandate, or Westar terminates the Lead Manager Mandate for cause, Westar will be entitled to the reimbursement of any incurred or accrued reasonable expenses up to the date of termination.

TREK METALS LIMITED

==> picture [78 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

The Lead Manager Mandate otherwise contains terms considered standard for an agreement of this type.

For further information regarding the Broker Options, refer to Section 4.

(c) Consideration Options

The Company has also agreed (subject to shareholder approval) to issue Mr Tony Leibowitz (or his nominee) 1,500,000 Options and Mr Neil Biddle (or his nominee) 500,000 options upon the same terms as those contemplated to be issued to Westar Capital for nil cash consideration for providing consulting, market support, and the introduction of high net worth investors in relation to the Placement ( Consideration Options ). For further information regarding the Broker and Consideration Options, refer to Section 5.

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1(a), the Company has issued 45,000,000 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.06 per Share to raise $2,700,000. The Company is also seeking shareholder approval for further 5,833,333 shares to be issued to a Director upon the same terms for a total Placement of $3,050,000.

23,997,964 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1) and 21,002,036 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate (being, the subject of Resolution 2).

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 26 August 2020.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

2.2

Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

7

TREK METALS LIMITED

==> picture [78 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) the Placement Participants are professional and sophisticated investors who were introduced to the Company by the Directors and/or are clients of Westar Capital Limited. The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Westar Capital Limited and the Directors seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the Placement Participants (excluding the proposed issue to Director Mr Tony Leibowitz the subject of Resolution 3) were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 45,000,000 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 23,997,964 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

  • (ii) 21,002,036 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);

  • (d) the Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e)

  • the Placement Shares were issued on 3 February 2021;

  • (f) the issue price was $0.06 per Placement Share under both the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares was to raise $2,700,000, which will be applied towards:

  • (i) Exploration at the newly acquired Pincunah and Jimblebar Projects (Refer ASX Release 14 August 2020);

  • (iii) supporting ongoing exploration activities on the company’s other base metals project in the Northern Territory, the Lawnhill Zinc ‐ Copper ‐ Cobalt Project; and

  • (iv) general working capital, including evaluation of new project opportunities; and

  • (h) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES TO MR TONY LEIBOWITZ

3.1 General

As set out in Section 1(a) above, Director Mr Tony Leibowitz wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as the Placement Participants by subscribing for an 5,833,333 Shares at $0.06 per Share to raise a further $350,000 ( Participation ).

Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 5,833,333 Shares and to Mr Tony Leibowitz (or their nominee), as a result of the Participation on the terms set out below.

3.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

3.3

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 2.4(g) above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

9

TREK METALS LIMITED

==> picture [78 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.

3.4 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Mr Tony Leibowitz (or his nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Mr Leibowitz is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Leibowitz (or his nominee) is 5,833,333;

  • (c) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on the same date;

4.1 General

As set out in Section 1(b), the Company has entered into an agreement to issue 1,000,000 Broker Options to Westar (or its nominees) as part consideration for Westar acting as the lead manager of the Placement.

As summarised in Section 2.1 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the Broker Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options. In addition, the issue of the Broker Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

10

TREK METALS LIMITED

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

As set out in Section 1(c), the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 1,500,000 Consideration Options to Mr Tony Leibowitz (or his nominee) and 500,000 to Mr Neil Biddle (or his nominee) in consideration for providing consulting, market support, and the introduction of high net worth investors in relation to the Placement on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Options to Mr Tony Leibowitz (or his nominee).

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Options to Mr Neil Biddle (or his nominee).

5.2 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 3.2 above.

The issue of Consideration Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 5 & 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the

Consideration Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 5 and/or 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Options to Mr Tony Leibowitz and Mr Neil Biddle within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Consideration Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Consideration Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 5 and/or 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Options.

5.4 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5 & 6 :

  • (a) the Consideration Options will be issued to Mr Tony Leibowitz (or his nominee) and Mr Neil Biddle (or his nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Mr Leibowitz and Mr Biddle are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Consideration Options to be issued is 2,000,000;

  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Consideration Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (d) the Consideration Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price of the Consideration Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Consideration Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Consideration Options);

  • (g) the current total remuneration package for Mr Leibowitz is $75,000 and for Mr Biddle $60,000 (including statutory superannuation). If the Options are issued, the total remuneration package Mr Leibowitz for this year will increase by $69,000 to $144,000, and Mr Biddle $23,000 to $83,000 being the value of the Options based on the Black Scholes methodology. Refer to Schedule 2 for further details relating to the valuation of the Consideration Options; and

  • (h) the Consideration Options are not being issued under an agreement.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – ADOPTION OF INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS AND OPTIONS PLAN

6.1 General

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Incentive Performance Rights and Options Plan” ( Plan ) and for the issue of Performance Rights and Options under the Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

12

TREK METALS LIMITED

==> picture [78 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Performance Rights or Options under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

As summarised in Section 2.1 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Performance Rights and Options under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Performance Rights or Options to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of Securities stated in Section 6.2(c)(c) below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Performance Rights or Options under the Plan 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.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights and Options under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Performance Rights or Options will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Performance Rights or Options.

6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 3;

  • (b) the Company has not issued any Performance Rights or Options under the Plan the subject of Resolution 6 as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Plan. However, the Company has issued 8,375,000 Options under its “Employee Share Option Plan” since that plan was last approved by Shareholders on 3 October 2019; and

  • (c) the maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan, following Shareholder approval, is 25,000,000 Securities which includes the Performance Rights proposed to be issued under Resolutions 8 to 10. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

  • (b) 1,000,000 Class A, 1,000,000 Class B & 1,000,000 Class C Incentive Performance Rights to Mr Neil Biddle (or his nominee) (the subject of Resolution 9); and

  • (c) 2,000,000 Class A, 2,000,000 Class B & 2,000,000 Class C Incentive Performance Rights to Mr John Young (or his nominee) (the subject of Resolution 10).

7.2 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.14.1 a director of the entity;

  • 10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or

  • 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

The issue of Incentive Performance Rights to the Directors falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 8 to 10 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

14

7.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 8 to 10 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Directors under the Plan within three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 8 to 10 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Directors under the Plan.

8. RESOLUTION 11 – REPLACEMENT OF BYE-LAWS

8.1 General

A company may modify or repeal its Bye-Laws or a provision of its Bye-Laws by resolution of shareholders.

16

TREK METALS LIMITED

==> picture [78 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Resolution 11 is an ordinary resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Bye-Laws and adopt new Bye-Laws ( Proposed Bye-Laws ).

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Bye-Laws with the Proposed Bye-Laws rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions and notes the existing Bye-Laws have not been modified since 2007.

The Proposed Bye-Laws are broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing ByeLaws. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature including but not limited to:

  • inclusion of specific requirements in relation to restricted securities as required by the Listing Rule 15.2;

  • inclusion of specific requirements in relation to treatment of minimum shareholdings as required by the Listing Rule 15.13;

  • in line with the Listing Rules, allowing the Company to charge a fee for registration of off-market transfers; and

  • Currently, quorum for a annual general or special general meeting is at least one shareholder present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, whereas under the amended bye-laws is two or more shareholders present in person or by proxy at the start of and throughout the meeting. Currently, a class vote requires a quorum of one person holding any shares whereas under the amended bye-laws a class vote requires a quorum of two persons holding or representing by proxy one-third of issued shares. Currently, the Company has a lien over unpaid shares, whereas under the amended bye-laws it will not have a lien. Currently, where notice of disclosure under section 212 of the UK Companies Act 1985 has been given, penalties may apply including restrictions on the registration of transfer of shares, whereas under the amended bye-laws section 212 restrictions do not apply. Currently, the Board convenes general meetings, whereas under the amended bye-laws either the Board or the chairperson or president if there is one, or two directors, or a director and a secretary, may convene general meetings. Currently, annual general or special general meetings are convened on a minimum of 5 days’ notice, whereas under the amended bye-laws they may be convened on a minimum of 7 days’ notice. Currently, the size of the Board is set at between 2 and 8 directors or such larger maximum as the shareholders in general meeting determine, whereas under the amended bye-laws the size of the Board is at least 3 directors and subject to such maximum as the Board determines. Currently, the Board may determine director’s fees if the shareholders in general meeting do not, whereas under the amended bye-laws the shareholders in general meeting only may determine the director’s fees (including by delegating that determination to the Board if so approved).

The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Bye-Laws in detail in this Explanatory Statement, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

A copy of the Proposed Bye-Laws is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website www.trekmetals.com.au and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Bye-Laws can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 6215 0371) or [email protected] Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

TREK METALS LIMITED

8.2 Summary of material proposed changes

Restricted Securities (clause 79)

The Proposed Bye-Laws comply with the recent changes to Listing Rule 15.12 which took effect from 1 December 2019. As a result of these changes, ASX will require certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers (such as related parties, promoters, substantial holders, service providers and their associates) to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings (such as non-related parties and non-promoters), ASX will permit the Company to issue restriction notices to holders of restricted securities in the form of the new Appendix 9C advising them of the restriction rather than requiring signed restriction agreements.

Minimum Shareholding (clause 80)

Clause 80 of the Proposed Bye-Laws outlines how the Company can manage shareholdings which represent an “unmarketable parcel” of shares, being a shareholding that is less than $500 based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at the relevant time.

The Proposed Bye-Laws provide that where the Company elects to undertake a sale of unmarketable parcels, the Company is only required to give one notice to holders of an unmarketable parcel to elect to retain their shareholding before the unmarketable parcel can be dealt with by the Company, saving time and administrative costs incurred by otherwise having to send out additional notices.

Clause 80 of the Proposed Bye-Laws continues to outline in detail the process that the Company must follow for dealing with unmarketable parcels.

Fee for registration of off market transfers (clause 11).

On 24 January 2011, ASX amended Listing Rule 8.14 with the effect that the Company may now charge a “reasonable fee” for registering paper-based transfers, sometimes referred to “off-market transfers”.

Clause 12 of the Proposed Bye-Laws is proposed to include a provision to enable the Company to charge a reasonable fee when it is required to register off-market transfers from Shareholders. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its fraud detection practices specific to off-market transfers.

Before charging any fee, the Company is required to notify ASX of the fee to be charged and provide sufficient information to enable ASX to assess the reasonableness of the proposed amount.

The amended bye-laws provide for the Company’s board of directors to serve staggered three-year terms. At each general meeting of shareholders, one third of the directors will retire from office by rotation, and their successors will be elected.

The amended bye-laws contain provisions which prohibit the Company from engaging in a business combination with an interested shareholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested shareholder, unless, in addition to any other approval that may be required by applicable law:

  • prior to the date of the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the Company’s board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder;

18

TREK METALS LIMITED

==> picture [78 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

  • upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the interested shareholder owned at least 85% of the Company’s issued and voting shares outstanding at the time the transaction commenced; or

  • after the date of the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the business combination is approved by the Company’s board of directors and authorized at an annual general meeting or special general meeting of shareholders by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting shares voted at the general meeting that are not owned by the interested shareholder.

For purposes of these provisions, a “business combination” includes mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, exchanges, asset sales, leases, certain issues or transfers of shares or other securities and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested shareholder. An “interested shareholder” is any person or entity that beneficially owns 15% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting shares and any person or entity affiliated with or controlling or controlled by that person or entity.

Additionally, the amended bye-laws provide that bye-laws relating to election of directors, number of directors, rotation of directors, removal of directors, business combinations, and amendment of the bye-laws, may only be amended by the approval of a resolution passed by a 66 2/3% majority of the voting rights of all issued shares.

9. RESOLUTION 12 - INCREASE OF AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

9.1 General

The Company is required to seek Shareholder approval in order to increase its authorised share capital. Currently, the Company has an authorised share capital of £3,000,000 (divided into 300,000,000 shares of 1 pence each).

In order for the Company to be capable of issuing that maximum number of Shares contemplated under its ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A capacity and for future flexibility, the Company is required to increase its authorised share capital to £4,000,000 divided into 400,000,000 shares by the creation of an additional 100,000,000 Shares of 1 pence.

Shares Number Authorised Share
Capital
Authorised share capital as at 31 July 2020 300,000,000 £3,000,000
Additional number authorised to be issued 100,000,000 £1,000,000
Total 400,000,000 £4,000,000

The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 12.

9.2 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12.

6. Transfer of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights are not transferable.

7. Lapse of a Performance Right

If the Milestone attached to the relevant Performance Right has not been satisfied within the relevant time period set out in paragraph (a), the relevant Performance Rights will automatically lapse.

8. Participation in new issues

A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.

9. Reorganisation of capital

If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.

10. Adjustment for bonus issue

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares or other securities which the holder would have received if the holder had converted the Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue.

TREK METALS LIMITED

==> picture [78 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

13. Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares

If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraph 3 or 12 would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (a) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and

  • (b) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph 13(a) within seven days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

14. No rights to return of capital

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

15. Rights on winding up

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

16. No other rights
