EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

5. RESOLUTION 1 – PLACEMENT – SHARES

5.1 General

The Company is proposing to raise up to $1,200,000 through the issue of 200,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.006 (subject to shareholder approval) ( Placement ). The funds raised from the Placement will be used for working capital purposes and to fund the assessment of new ventures.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 200,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.006 to raise up to $1,200,000.

ASX 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 effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares pursuant to the Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 200,000,000 Shares;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the issue price will be $0.006 per Share;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued to sophisticated and professional investors. None of these subscribers will be related parties of the Company;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the proposed issue of Shares for working capital purposes and to fund the assessment of new ventures.

5.3 Directors’ Recommendations

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1, as it allows the Company to approve the above issue of Shares and retain the flexibility to issue further securities under the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to the Listing Rules during the next 12 months.

6. RESOLUTIONS 2‐ 4– AUTHORITY FOR MESSRS DAVID WALL, MICHAEL EVANS AND STEPHEN STALEY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLACEMENT

6.1 General

Resolution 2, 3 and 4 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for Messrs David Wall, Michael Evans and Stephen Staley (and/or their nominees) to subscribe for a total of up to 24,999,999 Shares under the Placement.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain Shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party. Messrs David Wall, Michael Evans and Stephen Staley are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

6.2 Technical Information Required by Listing Rule 10.13

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13 information regarding the issue of the Shares to Messrs David Wall, Michael Evans and Stephen Staley pursuant to the Placement is provided as follows:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Messrs David Wall, Michael Evans and Stephen Staley (and/or their nominees);

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares the Company can issue to each of those Directors and/or their nominees under Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 is as follows:

  • (i) 8,333,333 Shares to Mr David Wall or his nominee;

  • (ii) 8,333,333 Shares to Mr Michael Evans or his nominee; and

  • (iii) 8,333,333 Shares to Mr Stephen Staley or his nominee;

  • (c) the Shares to be issued are fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.006 per Share;

  • (e) the funds raised from the issue of the Shares will be used for working capital purposes and to fund the assessment of new ventures;

  • (f) the Company will issue and allot the Shares to Messrs David Wall, Michael Evans and Stephen Staley (and/or their nominees) no later than one month after the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules); and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Shares to Messrs David Wall, Michael Evans and Stephen Staley (and/or their nominees) as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

6.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

5

The issue of Shares pursuant to the Placement constitutes giving a financial benefit, and, Messrs David Wall, Michael Evans and Stephen Staley are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than David Wall, Michael Evans and Stephen Staley, who have a material personal interest in Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 respectively) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the proposal for Messrs Wall, Evans and Staley to participate in the Placement because the Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 will be on the same terms as such securities issued to non‐related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

6.4 Directors’ Recommendations

The Directors (other than Mr David Wall with respect to Resolution 2, Mr Michael Evans with respect to Resolution 3 and Mr Stephen Staley with respect to Resolution 4) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 so that Placement funds of up to $150,000 can be accepted by the Company.
