Background Information

To assist you in deciding how to vote on the above resolutions, further details as background information to the resolutions are set out in the Explanatory Memorandum forming part of this notice of meeting.

To view the Company’s Annual Report online please visit the Company’s website at www.botswanametals.com.au

Questions from shareholders

The Chairman of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for stakeholders to ask general questions or make comments on the Company (aside from questions regarding the Remuneration Report and any other resolutions which will be prior to voting) after the formal part of the meeting.

Jeffrey Luckins of William Buck, as the auditor responsible for preparing the auditor’s report for the year ended 30 June 2015 (or his representative) will attend the meeting. The Chairman of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for the members as a whole to ask the auditor questions at the meeting about:

  • The conduct of the audit;

  • The preparation and content of the auditor’s report;

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

  • The independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Voting Entitlement

The Company has determined that, for the purposes of voting at the meeting, shares will be taken to be held by the registered holders as at 9:00 AM (AEST) on 28 November 2015, subject to the Constitution of the Company.

Proxies

A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting has a right to appoint a proxy and should use the proxy form accompanying this document. The proxy need not be a Shareholder.

A Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, section 249X of the Corporations Act will take effect so that each proxy may exercise half of the votes (ignoring fractions).

A proxy’s authority to speak and vote for a Shareholder at the meeting is suspended if the Shareholder is present at the meeting. The proxy form must be signed and dated by the Shareholder or the Shareholder’s attorney. Joint Shareholders must each sign.

Proxy forms or the original of such authority (if any) under which the proxy form is signed must be received by the Company at Suite 506, Level 5, 1 Princess Street, Kew, Victoria 3101 or by fax (within Australia) (03) 9855 2885 (outside Australia) +61 3 9855 2885 not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting.

Directors and Officers of all corporate shareholders should note that unless the corporate shareholder either:

  • (a) completes and lodges with the Company a valid appointment of proxy in accordance with the instructions in these notes; or

  • (b) completes and either lodges with the Company prior to the meeting a form of appointment of or certificate of appointment of a personal representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 250D of the Corporations Law or causes such personal representative to attend the meeting with such form of appointment or certificate; or

  • (c) has appointed an attorney.

and such proxy, personal representative or attorney attends the relevant meeting, then such corporate shareholder will be unable to exercise any votes at the relevant meeting.

Corporate Members should comply with the execution requirements set out in these notes or otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 127 of the Act. Section 127 of the Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  • 2 directors of the company; or

  • a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  • for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For Botswana Metals Limited to rely on the assumptions set out in Sections 129(5) and (6) of the Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable.

In particular a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of BOTSWANA METALS LIMITED (“the Company”) in connection with the business to be transacted at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders of Botswana Metals Limited to be held at Suite 506, Level 5, 1 Princess Street, Kew, Victoria 3101 on Monday 30 November 2015 at 9:00 AM AEST.

It forms part of the accompanying Notice of Meeting convening the 2015 Annual General Meeting and contains an explanation of, and information about, the following matters to be considered at the meeting:

  • the Financial Statements and Reports;

  • the Remuneration Report,

  • the re-election of Dr Paul Woolrich as a Director of the Company, and

  • the approval of 10% placement capacity for a further 12 months.

The Directors recommend shareholders read the accompanying Notice of General Meeting (“Notice”) and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.

Item 1 Financial Statements and Reports

The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requires the Annual Report (which includes the financial statements and Director’s Declaration), the Director’s Report and the Auditor’s Report in respect of the financial year of Botswana Metals Limited ended 30 June 2015 to be laid before the 2015 Annual General Meeting. Shareholders will be given an opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports.

Item 2 Resolution 1: Remuneration Report

General

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.

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 Report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2015.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act that came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive Annual General Meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company (“Spill Resolution”) at the second Annual General Meeting.

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting (“Spill Meeting”) within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting.

5

All of the Directors of the Company who were in office when the Directors’ Report (as included in the Company’s Annual Report for the financial year ended immediately before the second Annual General Meeting) 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.

At the 2014 AGM less than 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report were voted against the resolution and therefore, regardless of the vote on the remuneration report at the 2015 AGM, the Company will not be required to put a Spill Resolution to shareholders at the 2015 AGM.

Proxy Restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for Resolution 1 should note the following:

If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel as your proxy

If you elect to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of that member, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be included in any vote on Resolution 1.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy

If you elect to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you do not need to direct the Chair how you wish them to exercise your vote on Resolution 1. The proxy form contains an express authorisation entitling the Chair to exercise their discretion in exercising your proxy even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

If you appoint any other person as your proxy

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote.

Recommendation

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as described in the Remuneration Report) and, as described in the voting restrictions on this resolution (set out above) each Director (or any Closely Related Party of a Director) is excluded from voting their shares on this resolution, the Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to adopt the Remuneration Report.

The Chairman will use any undirected/open proxies to vote in favour of this Resolution.

Item 3 Resolution 2: Re-election of Director

General

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, at every Annual General Meeting, one-third of the Directors must retire from office and are eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire are those who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment, or, if the directors have been in office for an equal length of time by agreement.

Dr Paul Woolrich retires by rotation and being eligible for re-election, has consented to be re-elected and presents himself for re-election.

Recommendation

The Directors, other than Dr Woolrich recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 to reelect Dr Woolrich as a director of the Company.

The Chairman will use any undirected/open proxies to vote in favour of this Resolution.

Item 4 Resolution 3: Approval of 10% Placement Capacity for further 12 months

General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its Annual General Meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the Annual General Meeting (“10% Placement Capacity”).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (As set out below).

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 3 for it to be passed.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its Annual General Meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant Annual General Meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P / ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P / ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation less than $300,000,000.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has two classes of Equity Securities on issue, being Shares (ASX Code: BML) and Options (ASX: BMLOB).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) - E

Where:

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

  • (A) plus the number of Ordinary Securities issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

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

  • (C) plus the number of Ordinary Securities issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • (D) less the number of Ordinary Securities cancelled in the previous 12 months.

  • D: is 10%.

7

  • E: is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 3.

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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 on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

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

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval to be issued (such as under a pro-rata rights issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or shares issued on the exercise of options) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The $0.006 issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 26 October 2015.

  2. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  3. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

  4. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  5. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

Funds raised from the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be used to pay corporate and administration overheads and for working capital for exploration and review of other anomalies within the Company’s exploration portfolio that are outside the BCL joint venture area.

Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

9

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate,

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

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

  • (d) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A on 28 November 2014.

The total number of equity securities issued in the twelve months preceding the date of the meeting is 81,199,969 which represented 8.29% of the total number of equity securities on issue at the commencement of that twelve month period.

In the twelve months preceding the date of the meeting the following securities have been issued or are proposed to be issued:

Funds raised by the above issues were used, or will be used, to pay corporate and administration overheads and for working capital for exploration and review of other anomalies within the Company’s exploration portfolio that are outside the BCL joint venture area.

In the twelve months preceding the date of the meeting the Company did not issue any shares pursuant to the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval obtained on 28 November 2014.

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.

Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 to approve the additional 10% placement capacity.
