In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:
-
each Shareholder has a right to appoint a proxy;
-
the proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company; and
-
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 the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise onehalf of the votes.
Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that changes to the Corporations Act made in 2011 mean that:
-
if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.
Further details on these changes are set out below.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote
1
Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :
-
the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
-
if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).
Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:
-
an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and
-
the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
-
at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolution in the Notice of Meeting.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial period ended 30 June 2019 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company is not required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy.
Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company’s annual financial report on its website at www.valorresources.com.au.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 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 Company or the Directors of 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 financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2019.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2 Voting Consequences
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 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 an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the directors who were in office when the directors’ report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediate 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 reelection at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or reelection as directors is approved will be the directors of the company.
2.3 Previous Voting Results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2.4 Proxy Restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
| Proxy | Directions given | No directions given |
|---|---|---|
| Key Management Personnel1 | Vote as directed | Unable to vote3 |
| Chair2 | Vote as directed | Able to vote at discretion of Proxy4 |
| Other | Vote as directed | Able to vote at discretion of Proxy |
Notes:
1 Refers to Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member.
2 Refers to the Chair (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report), or a Closely Related Party of such a member).
3 Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MS PAULA SMITH
3.1 General
Clause 14.2 of the Constitution of the Company requires that if the Company has three or more Directors, one third (or the number nearest one-third) of those Directors must retire at each annual general meeting, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following their appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting themselves for re-election.
A Director who retires by rotation under clause 14.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.
Under the Constitution directors who are appointed at any time other than in a general meeting are not taken into account in deciding the rotation or retirement of Directors under clause 14.2 of the Constitution. Accordingly, Ms Paula Smith retires by rotation and, being eligible, seeks reelection at the Annual General Meeting.
3.2
Qualifications and other material directorships
Ms Paula Smith is a finance professional with over 17 years’ experience and is presently a director of a consulting and secretarial advisory firm specialising in business advisory, consulting and back office support (finance and secretarial) to SMEs and ASX listed entities. Prior to that Ms. Smith held senior roles in advisory firms KordaMentha and Ernst & Young. Ms. Smith holds a Bachelor of Commerce/Law (Hons), is a qualified Chartered Accountant and a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Ms. Smith was a director of Lithex Resources Limited (appointed 29 January 2015, resigned 2 December 2016) and Haranga Resources Limited (appointed 28 March 2017, resigned 4 May 2018). She has not held any other listed directorships over the past three years.
3.3 Independence
Ms Paula Smith is not considered independent as Palisade Business Consulting Pty Ltd, a company that she is a director of, is a principal professional adviser of the Company.
6
3.4 Board recommendation
The Board supports the re-election of Ms Paula Smith and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
4.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis).
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $9,465,961 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 15 October 2019).
An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has three classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being Ordinary Shares (ASX Code: VAL), Listed Options with an exercise price of $0.045 expiring on 4 December 2019 (ASX Code: VALOA) and Listed Options with an exercise price of $0.015 expiring on 31 December 2021(ASX Code: VALOB).
The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 5.2(c) below).
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
- (a) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 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 in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
7
(b) 10% Placement Period
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting at which approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main understanding) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),
( 10% Placement 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 existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are exercised). There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Shares on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
- (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
(iii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current issue price.
| Dilution | Dilution | Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2) |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution |
Issue Price | |||
| $0.0025 | $0.005 | $0.01 | |||
| 50% decrease |
Issue Price | 50% increase |
|||
| Funds Raised | |||||
| Current | 1,893,192,258 | 189,319,225 | $473,298 | $946,596 | $1,419,894 |
| 50% increase | 2,839,788,387 | 283,978,838 | $709,947 | $1,419,894 | $2,129,841 |
| 100% increase | 3,786,384,516 | 378,638,451 | $946,596 | $1,893,192 | $2,839,788 |
8
The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 1,893,192,258 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 15 October 2019.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
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 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
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.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
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.
-
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments including previously announced acquisitions. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised for an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity.
9
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity.
The identity of the recipients of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; (iv) the circumstances of the Company including, but not limited to, the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The recipients of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources assets or investments.
- (f) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:
-
(i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
(ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
-
(g) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its previous annual general meeting held on 29 November 2018 ( Previous Approval ).
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities.
(h) Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
10
5. RESOLUTION 4 – REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION
5.1 General
A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.
This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted on 29 November 2018.
The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.
The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature including but not limited to expressly providing for statutory rights by mirroring these rights in provisions of the Proposed Constitution.
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 Statement, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.
A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website www.valorresources.com.au and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 9200 3467). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
5.2 Summary of material proposed changes
Restricted Securities (clause 2.12)
The Proposed Constitution complies with the proposed changes to ASX Listing Rule 15.12 which is due to be finalised and released in December 2019. Under this change, 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 instead permit the Company to issue restriction notices to holders of restricted securities in the form of a new Appendix 9C advising them of the restriction rather than requiring signed restriction agreements.
Direct Voting (clause 13, specifically clauses 13.35 – 13.40)
The Proposed Constitution includes a new provision which allows Shareholders to exercise their voting rights through direct voting (in addition to exercising their existing rights to appoint a proxy). Direct voting is a mechanism by which Shareholders can vote directly on resolutions which are to be determined by poll. Votes cast by direct vote by a Shareholder are taken to have been cast on the poll as if the Shareholder had cast the votes on the poll at the meeting. In order for direct voting to be available, Directors must elect that votes can be cast via direct vote for all or any resolutions and determine the manner appropriate for the casting of direct votes. If such a determination is made by the Directors, the notice of meeting will include information on the application of direct voting.
5.3 Recommendation of the Board
The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional
11
takeover provision in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
6. ENQUIRIES
Shareholders should contact the Company Secretary on +61 8 9200 3467 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in this Notice of Meeting.
