RED 5 LIMITED
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Red 5 Limited in connection with the business to be considered at the forthcoming General Meeting of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting.
RESOLUTION 1 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
Background
The Company’s recent merger with Silver Lake transformed the Company into a leading mid-tier gold company with diversified operations and growth opportunities in tier 1 jurisdictions.
Having regard to the transformational nature of the Silver Lake transaction, the Board considers it appropriate to change the Company’s name to assist in resetting the market’s perception of an investment in the Company.
In accordance with section 157(1) of the Corporations Act, a company may change its name by special resolution.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to change its name to “Vault Minerals Limited”.
If Resolution 1 is approved by Shareholders by way of a special resolution, the proposed name change of the Company will be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) for approval. The change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.
The proposed name has been reserved by the Company and the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC following the Meeting in order to effect the change.
In connection with the change of name, the Company will also change its ASX ticker code from “RED” to “VAU”.
Shareholder approval is also being sought in accordance with section 136(2) of the Corporations Act to replace all existing references in the Company’s constitution to “Red 5 Limited” with “Vault Minerals Limited”.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
RESOLUTION 2 – REMUNERATION OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Background
The current maximum aggregate amount of remuneration payable to Non-Executive Directors (being an amount of $850,000) was approved by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 24 November 2021 ( NED Fee Pool ), being a date prior to the Company’s recent successful merger with Silver Lake.
On completion of the merger, the Company appointed an additional four Directors to the Company’s Board, being David Quinlivan, Rebecca Prain and Kelvin Flynn as Non-Executive Directors and Mr Luke Tonkin as the Company’s new Managing Director.
ASX Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of its shareholders. The Existing Constitution and New Constitution (see Resolution 3) provide that the Non-Executive Directors will be remunerated for their services by an aggregate amount not exceeding the maximum amount determined by the Company in general meeting.
As was foreshadowed in the Scheme Booklet, it is now proposed that the NED Fee Pool be increased from $850,000 to $1,800,000 per annum (an increase of $950,000 per annum). These amounts are inclusive of superannuation.
6
Reasons for proposed increase
The Board considers that it is reasonable and appropriate to seek an increase to the NED Fee Pool for the following reasons:
-
to provide sufficient flexibility within the NED Fee Pool to appropriately remunerate the additional three Non-Executive Directors (being David Quinlivan, Rebecca Prain and Kelvin Flynn) who were appointed to the Board following the Company’s successful merger with Silver Lake in June 2024;
-
to reflect the increases in the Company’s size, number of operations in the portfolio and geographical diversification of those operations, following the successful merger with Silver Lake in June 2024, which have resulted in increased responsibilities for the Non-Executive Directors; and
-
to ensure that the Company’s remuneration arrangements are market-competitive such that it can attract and retain high calibre individuals with the requisite skills, competence and experience having regard to the Company’s existing operational and financial position and prospects.
The Directors believe that the current size and composition of the Company’s Board is appropriate whilst the Company integrates Silver Lake’s operations within its existing operations.
The Board will continue to review its size and composition to ensure that it comprises persons with the appropriate mix of skills, knowledge, experience and capabilities required to meet the current and future requirements of the Company.
Additional disclosures
No securities have been issued to any Non-Executive Director under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 at any time within the last three years.
In respect of FY2025, and subject to Resolution 2 being passed, fees payable to each Non-Executive Director have been set as follows:
| Role | Proposed Fee(including superannuation) |
|---|---|
| Non-Executive Chair | $289,900 |
| Non-Executive Director | $187,320 |
| Audit Committee Chair | $22,300 |
| Other Committee Chairs | $16,725 |
| Committee member | Nil |
Consequently, aggregate Non-Executive Director fees payable in FY2025 are anticipated to be $1,469,570 based on the current Board size and the number of Board committees. If Resolution 2 is passed, it is not intended to fully utilise the increased NED Fee Pool in the immediate future.
However, until such time as the NED Fee Pool increase is approved by Shareholders, Non-Executive Director fees will be capped as required to ensure that the Company remains within the current NED Fee Cap of $850,000.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the NED Fee Pool will remain at $850,000 and the Company will have limited scope to competitively remunerate its existing Non-Executive Directors, which may adversely impact the Company’s ability to attract and retain high calibre individuals to the Company’s Board. Should Resolution 2 not be passed, the Board will need to reassess its current remuneration arrangements which may in turn have an impact on its ability to ensure it possesses the requisite skills, competence and experience having regard to the Company’s existing operational and financial position and prospects.
Directors’ recommendation
Given the interest of each Non-Executive Director in Resolution 2, the Non-Executive Directors do not consider it appropriate to make a recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution. The Company’s Managing Director, Mr Luke Tonkin, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

RESOLUTION 3 – ADOPTION OF NEW CONSTITUTION
Background
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the adoption of a new constitution ( New Constitution ). If approved by Shareholders, the New Constitution will be effective from the close of the Meeting.
The Company’s current constitution was originally adopted in November 2011 and has not been comprehensively reviewed since that time ( Existing Constitution ).
Since that time, there have been developments in Australian corporate law and practice, including a number of amendments to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules and changes to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. Accordingly, the Board considers that the Existing Constitution requires updating in order to bring it more into line with current law and market practice. The Board also considers this a good opportunity to modernise and simplify some of the existing language in the document.
As a result, the Board has determined that it is more appropriate to adopt a new constitution, rather than making each of the necessary amendments to modernise the Existing Constitution.
The proposed New Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the Existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature. 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 constitution in detail in this Explanatory Memorandum; however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.
A copy of the proposed New Constitution can be obtained prior to the Meeting on the Company’s website (https://www.red5limited.com/site/investor-centre/shareholders-meetings/general-meeting). A copy will also be available at the Meeting and a copy of the New Constitution signed by the Chair for the purposes of identification will be tabled at the Meeting. A copy of the New Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Summary of material proposed changes
The material proposed changes to the Existing Constitution are as follows:
| Topic | Summary of Changes |
|---|---|
| Updating | The New Constitution would increase the potential maximum number of |
| provisions | persons who can be registered as joint holders of a share from three persons to |
| regarding number | the maximum number of persons permitted to be registered under the ASX |
| of joint holders1 | Operating Rules as joint holders. |
| The ASX has announced that it intends to replace its existing CHESS system | |
| (being the ASX’s system that, among other things, clears and settles trades in | |
| Australia’s equity markets and maintains a CHESS sub-register of security | |
| holdings). One change that the ASX has foreshadowed with the CHESS | |
| replacement system is that it will allow for up to four joint holders of a share. | |
| The proposed amendments would allow the Company to register more than | |
| three persons as joint holders, in alignment with the proposed CHESS | |
| replacement system. | |
| Restricted | In December 2019, the ASX introduced a two-tier escrow regime where ASX can |
| **securities2 ** | require certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their |
| controllers to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form of Appendix 9A. | |
| 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 advisingthem of those restrictions. |
1 Rule 2.6(d) of Existing Constitution. Rule 5.7(a) of New Constitution.
2 Rule 2.8 of Existing Constitution. Rule 5.8 of New Constitution.
8
| ASX Listing Rule 15.12 requires the constitution of listed entities to contain | |
|---|---|
| certain provisions in relation to restricted securities for so long as the entity | |
| has any restricted securities on issue. | |
| Notwithstanding that the Company doesn’t currently have any restricted | |
| securities on issue, it is considered prudent that the New Constitution contain | |
| provisions in line with ASX ListingRule 15.12. | |
| **General meetings3 ** | The Existing Constitution is silent on how general meetings can be held. |
| The New Constitution would clarify that general meetings can be held using or | |
| with assistance of any technology approved by the Directors or otherwise in any | |
| manner permitted by law. The New Constitution would not permit the Company | |
| to holdpurelyvirtual meetings. | |
| Representation | The Existing Constitution does not deal with the revocation of appointed |
| and meetings4 | proxies, attorneys or corporate representatives in detail. The New |
| Constitution would provide more clarity on how these appointments can be | |
| revoked by shareholders. | |
| The New Constitution would also expressly provide that the Company is not | |
| responsible for ensuring that the terms of any proxy, attorney or corporate | |
| representative appointments are complied with. | |
| Number of | The Existing Constitution provides that the maximum number of Directors is to |
| directors5 | be fixed by the Directors, but may not be more than 10 unless the Company in |
| general meeting resolves otherwise. | |
| The New Constitution would provide that the maximum number of Directors | |
| (not counting alternates) must not be more than 9, unless the Company in a | |
| general meetingresolves otherwise. | |
| Election and | The Existing Constitution provides that, at the Company’s annual general |
| retirement of | meeting each year, one-third of the Directors (except those directors appointed |
| directors6 | to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, and one |
| Managing Director) must retire. | |
| The New Constitution would provide that no Director (except one Managing | |
| Director) may retain office without re-election for more than three years or until | |
| the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment, | |
| whichever is longer. This more closely aligns the director rotation requirements | |
| with the requirement in ASX ListingRule 14.4. | |
| Circular | The Existing Constitution generally requires circular Board resolutions to be |
| resolutions7 | unanimously approved by the Directors. |
| The New Constitution would provide that circular Board resolutions can be | |
| passed if approved by a majority of the Directors (where written notice of the | |
| resolutions has beengiven to all Directors). | |
| Delegation by | The New Constitution would provide, consistent with modern constitutions, |
| Directors8 | that the Board may delegate any of its powers to a Director, a committee of |
| Directors, an employee of the Company or any other person. | |
| The ExistingConstitution contains more limitedpowers of delegation. |
3 Rule 11.4 of New Constitution. 4 Rule 6.9(n) of Existing Constitution. Rules 13.6, 13.8, 13.9, 13.11 and 13.12 of New Constitution.
5 Rule 7.1(a) of Existing Constitution. Rule 15.1 of New Constitution. 6 Rule 7.1 of Existing Constitution. Rule 15.7 of New Constitution.
7 Rule 7.13(a) of Existing Constitution. Rule 17.10 of New Constitution.
8 Rules 7.15 and 7.16 of Existing Constitution. Rule 15.14(d) of New Constitution.
9
| Indemnity9 | Under the New Constitution, the officer indemnity provisions would require the |
|---|---|
| Company to indemnify each officer, director and secretary of the Company or | |
| subsidiary of the Company. | |
| The equivalent provisions in the Existing Constitution do not mandate that the | |
| Company indemnify officers, directors and secretaries of the Company’s | |
| subsidiaries. | |
| Payment of | The New Constitution would expressly provide that the Company may pay |
| amounts required | any government authority (including any tax authority) in respect of a |
| by law10 | shareholder or any share or distribution, if it is required by law to make that |
| payment. | |
| The ExistingConstitution is silent on this. | |
| Overseas | The New Constitution would include an express acknowledgement for those |
| shareholders11 | Shareholders with a registered address outside Australia that the Company |
| may, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, arrange for a nominee to | |
| dispose of those Shareholders’ entitlement to participate in any issue of | |
| shares by the Company. | |
| The ExistingConstitution is silent on this. | |
| Continuing | The New Constitution would provide that, if a person’s shares are sold due to |
| liability12 | forfeiture or the Company enforcing a lien, the person continues to be liable |
| and must pay the shortfall between the net proceeds from the sale and | |
| outstanding amounts due to the Company. | |
| The ExistingConstitution is silent on this. | |
| General | Compared to the Existing Constitution, in the New Constitution: |
| • certain concepts (such as how the Company can give notices to |
|
| Shareholders) would be modernised; | |
| • references to applicable legislation and rules would be updated; and |
|
| • relevant definitions would be updated to reflect current terminology and |
|
| the various changes to the Corporations Act and ASX ListingRules. |
