EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of a Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders of the Company to be held on 16 December 2014. This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist
Shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice and the
reasons for the resolutions proposed. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction
with each other. Certain terms used herein are defined in the Glossary at the end of this document.
ITEM 1: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
The Corporations Act requires the Financial Report (which includes the Financial Statements and Directors
Declaration), the Directors Report and the Auditor’s Report to be put before the Annual General Meeting.
There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or in the Company’s Constitution for members to
approve the Financial Report, the Directors Report or the Auditor’s Report. Members will have a reasonable
opportunity at the meeting to ask questions and make comments on these Reports and on the business and
operations of the Company. Members will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor
questions about the Auditor’s Report and the conduct of the audit of the Financial Report.
RESOLUTION ONE: REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report, which details the Company’s policy on the remuneration of Non-Executive
Directors, Executive Directors, and other Key Management Personnel, is set out within the Directors
Report of the Company’s 2014 Annual Report. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for
discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act
requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report be put to the vote of the Company.
Shareholders should note that the vote on Resolution One is advisory only and, subject to the matters
outlined below, will not bind the Company or the Directors. However, the Board will take the outcome
of the vote into consideration when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policy.
With effect from 1 August 2011 the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director
and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Cth) amended the Corporations Act to prohibit a vote on this
resolution being cast (in any capacity) by any Key Management Personnel, and any Closely Related
Party of such Key Management Personnel, the details of whose remuneration are included in the
Remuneration Report.
However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution One if the vote is not cast on behalf
of a person described above and either:
(i)
The person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote
on the proposed resolution; or
(ii)
The Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as proxy and the proxy form expressly
authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly
or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
Please note, in accordance with sections 250R(4) and 250R(5) of the Corporations Act, the Chairman
will not vote any undirected proxies in relation to Resolution One unless the shareholder expressly
authorises the Chairman to vote in accordance with the Chairman’s stated voting intentions. If the
Chairman of the Meeting is your proxy (or becomes your proxy by default), by completing the attached
proxy form, you will expressly authorise the Chairman to exercise your proxy on Resolution One even
though it is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of Key Management
Personnel for the Company, which includes the Chairman.
Alternatively, if you appoint the Chairman as your proxy, you can direct the Chairman to vote for or
against or abstain from voting on Resolution One by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form.
As a further alternative, Shareholders can nominate as their proxy for the purpose of Resolution One, a
proxy who is not a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely
Related Parties. That person would be permitted to vote undirected proxies.
The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies held by him in favour of Resolution One.
5
RESOLUTION TWO: ELECTION OF MR KEN WILLIAMS AS A DIRECTOR
In accordance with the Listing Rules and Article 80(1) of the Company’s Constitution, Mr Ken Williams
retires as a director of the Company. He is eligible for re-election. Mr Ken Williams offers himself for reelection as a director of the Company.
Mr Ken Williams has been the Chairman of the Board of Directors since 11 November 2013.
Mr Ken Williams has extensive experience in mining finance and has previously held roles in the treasury
operations at Qantas Airways Limited and Normandy Mining Limited, before becoming Chief Financial
Officer of Normandy, then Group Executive Finance and Business Manager at Newmont Australia Limited.
Mr Ken Williams’ re-election and his role as Chairman will see Havilah continue to benefit from his broad
corporate experience, especially in the mining industry.
Directors Recommendation:
Dr Chris Giles and Mr Paul Mertin recommend shareholders vote in favour of Resolution Two.
RESOLUTION THREE: CONVERSION TO A PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES,
ADOPTION OF A NEW CONSTITUTION AND CHANGE OF NAME
Special Resolution:
A special resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast on the resolution by shareholders
entitled to vote on it.
Change of status - conversion to a public company limited by shares
Recommendation for change of status
Your Directors recommend that Havilah change its status from a public no liability company to a public
company limited by shares.
Section 162 of the Corporations Act provides that, where all of the issued shares of a company are fully paid
up, that company may change from a public no liability company to a public company limited by shares by
passing a special resolution resolving to so change its status, subject to approval by ASIC.
Conversion to a public company limited by shares will simplify the Company’s capital structure. Public
companies limited by shares are the most common type of company listed on ASX. Your Directors believe
that, in changing to a public company limited by shares, Havilah’s ability to raise capital and pursue its
business development objectives will be enhanced as a result of having a capital structure that is more
readily understood by potential investors and their advisers.
Formerly the main advantage for a no liability company was the ability to issue shares at below par value.
The concept of par value no longer exists and this advantage is no longer material.
The proposed new constitution will also modernise the Company’s constitution, incorporating changes made
to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules since the existing constitution (formerly called the
‘Memorandum and Articles of Association’) was adopted in 1997.
Differences between a no liability company and a company limited by shares
The principal difference between a no liability company and a company limited by shares is that a
shareholder of a no liability company has no obligation to pay calls on their shares, although their shares are
liable to be forfeited if they do not do so.
In contrast, a shareholder of a company limited by shares has a contractual obligation to pay any amount
unpaid on their shares in the event of a call of the unpaid amount, and may be sued if they fail to pay such a
call.
Havilah does not have any partly paid shares on issue, and the matter of payment for partly paid shares
would be of practical importance only if you accepted an offer by the Company of partly paid shares in the
future.
Current shareholders, all of whom hold fully paid shares, have no obligation to contribute further funds to
the Company. If Havilah did offer partly paid shares for subscription the maximum liability of the holders of
such shares would be the amount unpaid on the shares.
The change from a no liability company to a company limited by shares will not affect the Company’s
existing property, rights or obligations.
6
Procedure for changing company type
The procedure for conversion of Havilah to a company limited by shares is set out in sections 162, 163 and
164 of the Corporations Act. The proposed conversion must be approved by shareholders by special
resolution. A copy of the special resolution must be lodged with ASIC within 14 days after its passage.
Notice of ASIC’s intention to alter the details of the Company’s registration must be included in ASIC’s
database and published in the ASIC Gazette. Subject to an order of the Court or the Administrative Appeals
Tribunal, ASIC must alter the details of the Company’s registration to reflect the change in the Company’s
status to a public company limited by shares, one month after the gazette notice has been published.
The change will not take effect until four weeks after notice of the change has been published in the ASIC
Gazette.
Change of Name
The change of Havilah’s company type from a no liability company to a company limited by shares requires
that Havilah change its name from Havilah Resources NL to Havilah Resources Limited.
Pursuant to section 157 of the Corporations Act a company may change its name by a special resolution of
shareholders.
The Proposed New Constitution
The proposed change of Havilah’s company type from a public no liability company to a public company
limited by shares also requires the adoption of a new constitution suited to the altered status.
A summary of the material differences between Havilah’s existing constitution and the proposed new
constitution is set out below. As required by ASX Listing Rule 15.3, the proposed new constitution has been
approved by ASX.
A full copy of the proposed new constitution is available to shareholders free of charge, on request. You can
obtain a copy of the new constitution:
x
At Havilah’s office at 31 Flemington Street, Glenside SA;
x
On the Company's website www.havilah-resources.com.au;
x
By calling the Company Secretary on (08) 8338 9292; or
x
By requesting a copy by email to [email protected].
Shareholders should review the terms of the proposed new constitution carefully and, if you have any
doubts, seek the advice of your legal or financial adviser.
Why a New Constitution?
The proposed change of the status of Havilah from a no liability company to a company limited by shares is
best served by a modern constitution best suited to a company limited by shares.
In addition, the current constitution of the Company is over 17 years old and consequently is outdated in
many respects, resulting in some constraints in and costs to the company that are unnecessary in today’s
contemporary operating environment.
Principal Aspects of the Proposed New Constitution
The proposed new constitution is in a usual and standard form for a constitution of a modern public
company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. It reflects changes to the Corporations Act and the
Listing Rules of ASX Limited.
Apart from ensuring the Company's constitution is up-to-date and complies with all statutory and regulatory
requirements, the proposed new constitution has been drafted to provide optimal flexibility by ensuring so
far as possible that it does not impose restrictions beyond those required by the Corporations Act or Listing
Rules, including any future changes to the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rules.
Material Changes to the Current Constitution
Most importantly, the proposed new constitution incorporates provisions reflecting Havilah’s proposed new
status as a public company limited by shares.
The proposed new constitution does not:
x Grant any additional benefits to Directors or any other related parties without the approval of
shareholders;
x Affect the rights of any class of shareholders; or
x Reduce any material rights or entitlements of shareholders.
7
The principal changes the new constitution will make to the current constitution are set out in the following
table:
Subject
Difference
Table of contents
The proposed new constitution includes clause headings, and has a table of
contents, to make provisions easier to find.
Updated for changes in
the law and listing rules
The proposed new constitution reflects current provisions of the
Corporations Act 2001 and the Listing Rules. It has also been drafted to
accommodate any future amendments to the Corporations Act and Listing
Rules.
Objects of the Company
The Corporations Act requires the constitution of a no liability company to
state that the company’s sole objects are mining purposes. The proposed
new constitution will not so limit Havilah’s activities.
Par value
The concept of par value no longer exists and so is not included in the
proposed new constitution.
Removal of Directors
Under the existing constitution a Director is automatically removed if the
Director becomes insolvent, of unsound mind or is absent without the
consent of the Directors from Board meetings for a 6 month period. Under
the proposed new constitution, a Director may be removed only by the
shareholders in a General Meeting. The Corporations Act also provides
details of when a Director is disqualified from being a Director.
Declaration of dividends The proposed new constitution allows the Directors to declare dividends
without confirmation by the Company in a General Meeting.
Declaration of
Directors’ Interests and
Voting
The proposed new constitution specifies more clearly circumstances in
which a Director must declare their personal interests and vote on such
matters consistent with the Corporations Act.
Small holdings
The provisions of the proposed new constitution do not specify a
requirement for a minimum price for a sale of less than marketable share
parcels where shareholders do not object to the sale, or require annual
renewal of the relevant clause (clause 12).
Officers indemnity
Under the proposed new constitution, the Company will be required to
indemnify officers for liabilities incurred as an officer of the Company only
to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act (clause 63).
Directors Recommendation:
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution Three.
