VOTING AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Voting Entitlements

The Directors have determined in accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations, that Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting will be the registered holders of Shares ( Registered Shareholders ) at 10.00am (WST) on, Sunday, 22 October 2017 ( Voting Record Date ) .

Shareholders who become Registered Shareholders after the date of dispatch of the Notice of Annual General Meeting, but prior to the Voting Record Date, and wish to vote at the Meeting by proxy, should contact the Company to request a Proxy Form.

Persons who hold a beneficial interest in Shares, such as an interest in Shares held through a trustee or nominee holder, and who wish to vote at the Meeting, should contact their broker or relevant intermediary.

How to vote:

You may vote by attending the Meeting in person, by proxy, or by appointing an authorised representative.

Voting in Person

To vote in person, attend the Meeting on the date and at the place set out in this Notice of Annual General Meeting. If possible, Shareholders are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, so that the Company may check the Shareholders' holding against the Company’s share register and note attendance.

Voting by Proxy

Appointment of Proxy: Shareholders who are entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, may appoint a proxy to act generally at the Meeting and to vote on their behalf. The proxy does not need to be a Shareholder.

A Shareholder that is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and should specify the proportion of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes if no proportion or number of votes is specified.

Voting by proxy: A Shareholder can direct its proxy to vote for, against or abstain from voting on each Resolution by marking the appropriate box in the voting directions to your proxy section of the Proxy Form. If a proxy holder votes, they must cast all votes as directed. Any directed proxies that are not voted will automatically default to the Chairman, who must vote the proxies as directed.

If the Chairman is to act as your proxy in relation to Resolution 1 (Adoption of the Remuneration Report), and you have not given directions on how to vote by completing the appropriate box in the voting directions to your proxy section of the Proxy Form, the Proxy Form expressly directs and authorises the Chairman to cast your votes “for” the relevant Resolution. This express authorisation is included because without it the Chairman would be precluded from casting your votes as this Resolution is connected with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

The Chairman will vote all undirected proxies in respect of Resolutions 1 to 7 in favour of the relevant Resolution. If you are in any doubt as to how to vote, you should consult your professional adviser.

Deadline

Proxy Forms must be received by 10.00am (WST) on Sunday, 22 October 2017.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum and all attachments are important documents. They should be read carefully. If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Memorandum or the preceding Notice of Meeting, please contact the Company Secretary on +61 8 9486 7788, or consult your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the Shareholders in connection with the 2017 Annual General Meeting of the Company.

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with information that the Board believes to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to approve the Resolutions detailed in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

1. Discussion of Financial Statements and Reports

The Company's financial reports and the directors’ declaration and reports and the auditor’s report for the year ended 30 June 2017 ( Financial Statements ) are placed before the meeting thereby giving Shareholders the opportunity to discuss those documents and to ask questions. The Company’s auditor, HLB Mann Judd, will be attending the Annual General Meeting and will be available to answer any questions relevant to the conduct of the audit and their report.

Shareholders attending the Annual General Meeting will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Financial Statements. However, no vote will be taken on the Financial Statements.

2. Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2017.

By way of summary, the Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and Key Management Personnel of the Company.

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

Section 250R(2) of 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 shareholders. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Corporations Act provides that if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of a company’s remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of the approval of the applicable directors’ report must stand for re-election.

At the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting, less than 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the 2016 Remuneration Report were voted against the resolution. Accordingly, regardless of the voting on Resolution 1, no spill resolution is required to be held at this Annual General Meeting.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

5. Resolution 4: Approval for issue Shortfall Shares to Underwriter under Share Purchase Plan

As announced on 5 September 2017, the Company is offering eligible Shareholders the opportunity to acquire Shares under a share purchase plan ( Share Purchase Plan ). Under the Share Purchase Plan, new Shares are to be issued at a price equal to 80% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of the Company’s Shares calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the Company’s Shares were recorded before those Shares under the Share Purchase Plan are issued ( Issue Date ).

The Company has appointed Patersons Securities Limited ABN 69 008 896 311 ( Underwriter ) to underwrite the Share Purchase Plan up to an amount of $1,500,000. Those underwriting arrangements are subject to (amongst other things) a condition that existing Directors Mr Asimwe Kabunga and Mr Matthew Bull (or their nominees) sub-underwrite any shortfall to the Share Purchase Plan up to an aggregate amount of $300,000 each (or $600,000 of the total amount underwritten by the Underwriter of $1,500,000). The proposed sub-underwriting by each of Messrs Kabunga and Bull, or their nominees, is the subject of Resolutions 5 and 6 below.

Purpose of approval

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of any shortfall under the Share Purchase Plan, up to an aggregate amount of $900,000 (the Shortfall Shares ), to the Underwriter or their nominees for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

The issue of shares under a share purchase plan is an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. However, this exception does not extend to the issue of any shortfall shares to an underwriter of any such share purchase plan. Resolution 4 therefore seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to authorise the Company to issue the Shortfall Shares under the Share Purchase Plan up to a value of $900,000 to the Underwriter or its nominees.

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow any Shortfall Shares to be placed without impacting upon the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity. If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 4, the Company may elect to issue any Shortfall Shares to the extent it is able under the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Given the structure of the Share Purchase Plan, the number of Shares to be issued under the Share Purchase Plan to raise the minimum amount sought of $1,500,000 will depend upon the price at which the Company’s Shares trade during the period immediately prior to the date of issue of those Shares. As at the date of this document, the Company has 976,784,189 Shares on issue. For illustrative purposes, the table below sets out an indication of the number of Shares that will be on issue in the Company assuming that the minimum amount of $1,500,000 is raised under the Share Purchase Plan.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

For the purpose of obtaining the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, Shareholders are advised that:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shortfall Shares to be issued to the Underwriter or its nominees is not known at the date of this Notice. However, Shortfall Shares up to a value of $900,000 will be issued at the same price as Shares that are issued under the Share Purchase Plan (being 80% of the volume weighted average price (or VWAP) calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before the Issue Date). The below table shows the number of Shortfall Shares to be issued to the Underwriter (and/or its nominees) under the Share Purchase Plan up to a value of $900,000 based on the VWAP calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded prior to 18 September 2017:

3 10% increase in the 80% of the VWAP calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded prior to 18 September 2017.

(b) It is anticipated that the Shortfall Shares will be issued on a date specified in accordance with the terms of the underwriting arrangements. In any event, however, no Shortfall Shares will be issued to the Underwriter (and its nominees) later than three months after the

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Annual General Meeting (other than to the extent permitted by any waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

  • (c) The issue price of the Shortfall Shares that may be issued to the Underwriter and its nominees will be the same price as the Shares issued under the Share Purchase Plan, being the price equal to 80% of the VWAP of Shares calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before the Issue Date.

  • (d) The Shortfall Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company that rank equally in all respects with all other Shares on issue.

  • (e) The Shortfall Shares will be issued to the Underwriter (and its nominees) if there is available shortfall under the Share Purchase Plan.

  • (f) The Company intends to use the funds raised from the Share Purchase Plan (including any shortfall) to assist in funding the completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study for the Namangale Graphite Project to be delivered in the first half of 2018, and for general working capital and corporate purposes.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 4.

6. Resolutions 5 and 6: Issue of Shortfall Shares to each of Mr Asimwe Kabunga and Mr Matthew Bull

As set out in the background to Resolution 4 above, existing Directors Mr Asimwe Kabunga and Mr Matthew Bull, have agreed with the Underwriter to each sub-underwrite any shortfall under the Share Purchase Plan, if any, up to an amount of $300,000 (being an aggregate amount of $600,000).

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, prior approval of shareholders is required for an issue of securities by a company to a related party of the company. As Directors, each of Mr Kabunga and Mr Bull are related parties of the Company.

The issue of shares under a share purchase plan is an exception to Listing Rule 10.11. However, this exception does not extend to the issue of shares under an underwriting or sub-underwriting arrangement. Accordingly, Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares comprising any shortfall to the Share Purchase Plan up to an amount of $300,000 to each of Mr Kabunga and Mr Bull, or their nominees, pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.

Further, Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of a public company unless either the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions or shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

One of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act applies where the financial benefit is given on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the entity and the related person were dealing at arm’s length, or on terms that are less favourable to the related party than these terms.

The Directors (other than Mr Kabunga in respect of Resolution 5 and Mr Bull in respect of Resolution 6 who have a material personal interest in their respective resolutions) consider that the issue of Shares to Mr Kabunga and Mr Bull (or their associates) as sub-underwriters falls within the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act, and therefore shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required, on the basis that:

11

VOLT RESOURCES LIMITED ACN 106 353 253

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

  • (a) the sub-underwriting agreements have been negotiated at arm’s length with the Underwriter;

  • (b) the terms of the sub-underwritings agreements were considered to be on usual ‘arm’s length’ commercial terms, with terms the same as other sub-underwriting agreements with non-related party participants; and

  • (c) the Shares will be issued at the same price as Shares that are issued under the Share Purchase Plan.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

The table below shows the number of Shares to be issued to each of Mr Kabunga and Mr Bull, and/or their nominees, under the Share Purchase Plan up to a value of $300,000 based on the VWAP calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded prior to 18 September 2017:

has obtained a waiver of Listing Rule 10.13.5 to permit the issue price of these Shares to be determined by this formula, as it is not possible to determine the actual issue price until the close of trading on the day prior to the Issue Date (which will be a date after the date of the General Meeting).

  • (e) Terms of the securities: The Shares issued under these sub-underwriting arrangements will be fully paid ordinary shares of the Company that rank equally with the Company's current issued Shares.

  • (f) Intended use of the funds raised : The Company intends to use the funds raised from the Share Purchase Plan for the purposes outlined in the explanatory material provided in connection with Resolution 4 above.

Board recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Asimwe Kabunga and Mr Matthew Bull) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 5 and 6.

7. Resolution 7: Ratification of prior issue of Convertible Loan Facility

On 7 July 2017, the Company announced that it had raised $1,000,000 from institutional and sophisticated investors through a 12 month convertible loan facility ( Convertible Loan Facility ). The key terms of that Convertible Loan Facility are as follows:

  • (a) A convertible loan facility for a term of 12 months, with a 10% coupon payable quarterly in arrears in cash or Shares (lenders can elect to receive interest in the form of Shares issued at the conversion price of $0.05 per Share);

  • (b) Lenders can convert the facility into Shares at any time prior to maturity at the conversion price of $0.05 per Share;

  • (c) If the facility is repaid early, lenders will have a subscription right to acquire Shares in the Company at the conversion price at any time prior to the agreed maturity date (up to the maximum number of Company Shares which the lender would have been able to acquire if the lender converted amounts owing under the facility); and

  • (d) Senior security over the Company’s assets can be put in place at the lender’s election.

Resolution 7 seeks ratification of the Convertible Loan Facilities, including the issue of up to 22,000,000 Shares under the terms of that Convertible Loan Facility.

Purpose of approval

As set out above, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that without Shareholder approval, a company must not issue or agree to issue new equity securities constituting more than 15% of its total issued capital within a 12 month period (excluding any issue of equity securities approved by Shareholders and other various permitted exceptions which are not relevant for current purposes).

Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue of securities made without the approval of Shareholders to be ratified by Shareholders, in order to refresh the 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, provided that at the time the issue was made, the issue was made within the Company’s existing 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 7 is approved by Shareholders, the Company may exclude any Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Convertible Loan Facility when calculating whether a future issue of shares or options will fall within the 15% limit under the ASX Listing Rules. This will permit the Company to retain

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval for Resolution 7:

  • (a) The number of securities issued: A convertible loan facility pursuant to which up to 22,000,000 Shares may be issued.

  • (b) The price at which the securities were issued: Any Shares issued pursuant to the Convertible Loan Facility will be issued at a price of $0.05 per Share.

  • (c) The terms of the securities: Shares issued in accordance with the Convertible Loan Facility will be fully paid ordinary shares of the Company that rank equally with the Company's current issued Shares.

  • (d) The names of the person to whom the entity issued the securities or the basis on which those persons were determined: The Convertible Loan Facility was subscribed for by institutional and sophisticated investors. None of the parties are Related Parties of the Company.

  • (e) The use (or intended use) of the funds raised: Funds raised under the Convertible Loan Facility are being used to fund the Company’s working capital requirements through to the end of 2017.
