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 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 financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2021.

Yandal Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 9

2.2 Voting Consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the 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 general meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

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 Meeting.

2.4

Proxy restrictions

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution (Remuneration Report) by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Proxy Form for this Resolution.

If you appoint a member of the key management personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report (who is not the Chairman) or a closely related party of that member as your proxy, and you do not direct that person on how to vote on this Resolution, the proxy cannot exercise your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution.

The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on this Resolution, by signing and returning the Proxy Form you are giving express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention.

Key management personnel of the Company are the Directors and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s key management personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2021. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% CAPACITY

4.1 Background

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 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%.

An " eligible entity " means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

(i) Period for which approval is valid

An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) The date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained.

  • (b) The time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting.

  • (c) The time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.

(ii) Minimum price at which equity securities may be issued

Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity's equity securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or

  • (b) if the securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the securities are issued.

Yandal Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 11

(iii) Purposes for which funds raised may be used

Equity securities can only be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A for a cash consideration. Funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used for the continued development of the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or other investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), and for general working capital.

(iv) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for variable "A" in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2. This includes one example that assumes that "A" is double the number of Shares on issue at the time of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and that the price of Shares has fallen by 50%.

(100% increase)
20,087,991 $5,021,998 $10,043,995 $20,087,991

*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 has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 29 September 2021.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 29 September 2021.

  1. The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the additional 10% capacity.

  2. No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the equity securities.

(v) Allocation Policy

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of equity securities under the additional 10% capacity will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-bycase basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • (c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (d) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the additional 10% 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 and may include new investors who have not previously been Shareholders.

(vi) Equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the previous 12 months

The Company has not issued or agreed to issue any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding this Meeting.

(vii) Voting Exclusion Statement

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.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES UNDER EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SCHEME

5.1 Background

The Board adopted the Employee Incentive Plan on 16 October 2018 to enable the Company to issue Options or Performance Rights to eligible participants being employees (full and part-time), directors, relevant contractors, casual employees and prospective parties in these capacities.

The Employee Incentive Plan is intended to provide an opportunity to eligible participants to participate in the Company's future growth and assist with reward and retention of eligible participants.

The Employee Incentive Plan is an employee incentive scheme in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Yandal Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 13

The Employee Incentive Plan was established before the Company was listed on ASX and the terms of the Employee Incentive Plan were summarised in the Company's initial public offer prospectus of 19 October 2018. This has meant that securities issued under the Employee Incentive Plan for a period of 3 years until 18 October 2021 to eligible participants that are not Directors or Listing Rule 10.14 parties, are excluded in calculating the placement limit in Listing Rule 7.1.

The Employee Incentive Plan is in accordance with ASIC Class Order 14/1000, as amended, which expanded the class of financial products that could be offered (ie performance or incentive rights can be issued as well as shares and options) and expanded the categories of persons who can participate (ie certain contractors and casual employees).

A summary of the Employee Incentive Plan is set out in Schedule 1.

5.2 Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

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 period.

Although Shareholder approval is not required under the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules for the operation of the Employee Incentive Plan itself, Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) provides that an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme (such as the Employee Incentive Plan) will not be included in calculating the Company's placement limit in Listing Rule 7.1 if it is made within 3 years after shareholders approve the issue of equity securities under the scheme as an exception to the placement limit.

By this Resolution, the Company is seeking approval to issue securities under the Employee Incentive Plan for a period of 3 years from the Meeting to eligible participants who are not Directors or Listing Rule 10.14 parties, so that the issue of securities is excluded in calculating the placement limit in Listing Rule 7.1.

This will enable the Company to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval to such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with issues of securities under the Employee Incentive Plan for a period of 3 years from the Meeting and these issues will be excluded in calculating the Company's placement limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, any issues of securities under the Employee Incentive Plan will be included in calculating the Company's placement limit in Listing Rules 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval.

For Shareholders to approve the issue of securities under the Employee Incentive Plan for a period of 3 years from the Meeting, the following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b):

  • (a) A summary of the Employee Incentive Plan is set out in Schedule 1. Options or Performance Rights may be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan to eligible participants.

  • (b) The number of securities issued under the Employee Incentive Plan since the Company listed on ASX on 14 December 2018 is 600,000.

Yandal Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 14

  • (c) The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan following Shareholder approval sought by this Resolution is 7,500,000 equity securities.

Any equity securities proposed to be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan to a Director or Listing Rule 10.14 party will require separate Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 of the Listing Rules.

5.3 Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders approve the issue of securities under the Employee Incentive Plan as it will allow the Company to issue such securities for the benefit of eligible participants for a period of 3 years from the Meeting whilst preserving the Company's placement limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and will provide flexibility in the manner in which the Employee Incentive Plan is managed.

6. RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS

6.1 General

The Board consists of Timothy Kennedy (Non-Executive Chairman), Lorry Hughes (Managing Director) and Katina Law (Non-Executive Director).

Resolutions 5 to 7 seek Shareholder approval so that the Company may issue Performance Rights to each of the Directors under the Employee Incentive Plan. The approval to issue Performance Rights to Timothy Kennedy (Resolution 6) is conditional on his re-election as a Director (Resolution 2).

Shareholder approval is required for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act (section 208) and Chapter 10 of the Listing Rules because each of the Directors is a related party of the Company. Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.14 as the securities are being issued under an employee incentive scheme (being the Employee Incentive Plan). Each of Chapter 2E and Listing Rule 10.14 are dealt with separately below.

6.2

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act - Related Party Transaction

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E, each of the Directors is a related party of the Company.

The issue of Performance Rights to a related party is a financial benefit requiring shareholder approval in the absence of a specified exception applying.

For the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act the following information is provided.

(a) The related party to whom the resolution would permit the financial benefit to be given

The related parties are Lorry Hughes (Resolution 5), Timothy Kennedy (Resolution 6) and Katina Law (Resolution 7) or their nominees.

Yandal Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 15

(b) The nature of the financial benefit

The proposed financial benefit to be given is the issue of Performance Rights.

There are 3 classes of Performance Rights being Class B Performance Rights, Class C Performance Rights and Class D Performance Rights. They each have different performance conditions.

The terms of the Performance Rights including the service and performance conditions are set out in Schedule 2.

The numbers of Performance Rights proposed to be issued to the Directors are:

Class B
Performance
Rights
Class C
Performance
Rights
Class D

Lorry Hughes 400,000 400,000 400,000 1,200,000
Timothy Kennedy 150,000 150,000 150,000 450,000
Katina Law 150,000 150,000 150,000 450,000
Total 700,000 700,000 700,000 2,100,000

(c) Reasons and basis for giving the benefit and Directors recommendation

The Board consists of Timothy Kennedy (Non-Executive Chairman), Lorry Hughes (Managing Director) and Katina Law (Non-Executive Director).

By Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 the Company is proposing to issue Performance Rights to each of the Directors.

The purpose of the issue of the Performance Rights is to incentivise the Directors to continue to provide ongoing dedicated services to the Company and provide remuneration linked to the performance of the Company. The benefit will only be received upon the relevant service and performance condition being satisfied.

The Performance Rights are also a way of granting an incentive while preserving the

Company's cash reserves.

The Directors independent of the particular Director to be issued the Performance Rights consider that the particular number and terms of the Performance Rights to be issued to that particular Director in each case constitutes an appropriate number to adequately reward and incentivise them in the circumstances in light of their effort, skill and experience and when considered together with their other remuneration as a Director (as detailed below).

The Company acknowledges that the issue of the Performance Rights to Timothy Kennedy and Katina Law as non-executive Directors may be contrary to guidelines for non-executive director remuneration in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, 4[th] Edition suggesting that non-executive directors should not receive performance based remuneration. However, the Directors independent of the particular Director consider the issue of the Performance Rights to be reasonable in the circumstances given the Company's size and stage of development and the importance of maintaining the Company's cash reserves.

The independent Directors in each case recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of

Yandal Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 16

the Resolutions.

Lorry Hughes abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 5 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome as the recipient of the Performance Rights.

Timothy Kennedy abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 6 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome as the recipient of the Performance Rights.

Katina Law abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 7 as she has a material personal interest in the outcome as the recipient of the Performance Rights.

(d) Dilution

The passing of the Resolutions would have the effect of issuing the Directors (or their nominees) a total of 2,100,000 Performance Rights.

If any of the Performance Rights vest, Shares will issue which will have the effect of diluting the shareholding of existing Shareholders. If all of the Performance Rights vest so that 2,100,000 Shares are issued, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders by approximately 2.05% (based on the total number of Shares that will be on issue at the date of this Notice of 100,439,953 Shares).

(e) Current total remuneration package

The current total remuneration package for each of the Directors are set out below.

The current remuneration package received by Lorry Hughes is $295,900 per annum plus statutory superannuation.

The current remuneration package received by Timothy Kennedy is $65,000 per annum plus statutory superannuation.

The current remuneration package received by Katina Law is $55,000 per annum plus statutory superannuation.

(f)

(i) Other information

The Directors are not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision as to whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolutions.

6.3 Listing Rule 10.14

By Resolutions 5 to 7, the Company is proposing to issue Performance Rights to each of its Directors under the Employee Incentive Plan, which is an employee incentive scheme (" Issue ").

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) Listing Rule 10.14.1 – a director of the listed company;

  • (b) Listing Rule 10.14.2 – an associate of a director of the listed company; or

  • (c) Listing Rule 10.14.3 – a person whose relationship with the listed company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

Yandal Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 19

The Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 5 to 7 seek the required Shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

In each case, if the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Issue and the particular Director will be able to be issued the Performance Rights under the Employee Incentive Plan.

In each case, if the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Issue and this incentive will not be issued to the particular Director. No other replacement incentive is currently proposed.

6.4 Listing Rule 10.15

For Shareholders to approve the issue of the Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14, the following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15:

  • (a) The securities will be issued to Lorry Hughes or his nominees (Resolution 5), Timothy Kennedy or his nominees (Resolution 6) and Katina Law or her nominees (Resolution 7).

  • (f) The securities to be issued are 3 classes of Performance Rights, the terms of which are set out in Schedule 2. These classes of Performance Rights are being issued under the Employee Incentive Plan as the Directors consider this incentive is a cost effective and efficient reward and incentive and will preserve the cash reserves of the Company as opposed to the payment of cash compensation. The value of the Performance Rights with the disclosure of the assumptions is set out in Section 6.2(h) above.

  • (g) The securities will be issued no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting and are intended to be issued within 1 week of the Meeting.

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM

STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.

If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

  • (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.
