Explanatory Statement

Advance NanoTek Limited

Introduction

This is an important document that needs your immediate attention.

Please read the following Explanatory Statement and accompanying information carefully.

It is important that you either attend the meeting personally or complete and lodge the proxy form attached to the Notice of Meeting.

If you do not understand this Explanatory Statement or are in any doubt about the action to be taken, you should consult your solicitor, accountant, investment advisor or other professional advisor immediately.

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to assist Shareholders with their consideration of the resolutions to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on Tuesday, 29 May 2018 as set out in the accompanying Notice, and should be read with, and forms part of, the accompanying Notice.

This Explanatory Statement is required pursuant to various regulatory and ASX requirements.

Ordinary business

Resolutions 1 to 2 – Issue of Director Options

1. General

1.1 The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 2,210,000 Options (“ Director Options ”) to Geoff Acton and Rade Dudurovic (or their respective nominees) (“ Related Parties ”).

The offer of Director Options to the Related Parties form part of the Company's incentive objectives to encourage Directors to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company's objectives and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through share ownership.

The number of Director Options to be issued to each Director has been determined based on factors such as service of each Director to the Company, continuity of executive management, significant contribution to the Company's success and to provide ongoing equity incentives to advance the Company and its assets.

Furthermore, the grant of Director Options, are viewed as a cost effective and efficient reward and incentive of the Company as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash compensation to Directors.

1.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

Both Mr Acton and Mr Dudurovic are Directors and therefore related parties of the Company.

As the participation of Mr Acton and Mr Dudurovic in the issue of Director Options involves the issue of Securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

1.3 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 our in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Director Options constitute giving a financial benefit and Mr Acton and Mr Dudurovic are Directors and therefore related parties of the Company.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options to the Related Parties.

2. Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

  • 2.1 Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Options:

  • (a) the related parties are Geoff Acton and Rade Dudurovic and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:

    • (i) 1,960,000 Director Options to Geoff Acton; and

    • (ii) 250,000 Director Options to Rade Dudurovic;

  • (c) the Director Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) the Director Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (d) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e)

  • the value of the Director Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 2;

  • (f) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are set out below (assuming the Director Options are issued to the Related Parties):

Related Party Shares Options
Geoff Acton 185,000 1,960,000
Rade Dudurovic 250,000 250,000
  • (g) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year are set out below:
Related Party Current Financial
Year Est

Previous
Financial Year
Geoff Acton $165,000 $120,226
Rade Dudurovic $85,000 $117,557

4537176

  • (h) if all the Director Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 2,210,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 55,998,460 to 58,208,460 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued including those contemplated by the Resolutions of this Notice) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 3.79%, comprising 3.36% by Geoff Acton and 0.43% by Rade Dudurovic.

  • (i) the market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

  • (j) as at the date of this Notice the Shares are trading on ASX at a price lower than the exercise price of the Director Options. The Board resolved to issue the Director Options, subject to Shareholder approval, on the terms and conditions set out in this Notice at a time when the Shares were trading on ASX at a price lower than the exercise prices of the Director Options, being:

Exercise Price Exercise Date Expiry Date
$0.60 1 August 2020 1 August 2024
$0.75 1 August 2021 1 August 2024
$0.90 1 August 2022 1 August 2024
$1.00 1 August 2023 1 August 2024
$1.20 1 August 2024 1 August 2024

(k) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:

Price Date
Highest 58 cents 06/10/2017
Lowest 24 cents 13/06/2017
Last 47 cents 24/04/2018
  • (l) the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options to the Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as Directors.

  • (m) If the Directors Options are exercised, in part or in full, the proceeds raised from the exercise of such options will be used by the Company for the purpose of general working capital.

  • 2.2 Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

3. Directors' Recommendation

  • 3.1 Geoff Acton declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1 due to Geoff Acton’s material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Geoff Acton is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 1 be passed. However, in respect of Resolution 2 Geoff Acton recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of that Resolution for the following reasons:

  • (a) the grant of Director Options to the Related Party will align the Related Party’s interests with those of Shareholders;

  • (b) the grant of the Director Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-monetary form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater

8

4537176

proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Party; and

  • (c) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or opportunity foregone by the Company in granting the Director Options upon the terms proposed;

  • 3.2 Rade Dudurovic declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to Rade Dudurovic’s material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Rade Dudurovic is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 2 be passed. However, in respect of Resolution 1 Rade Dudurovic recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of that Resolution for the reasons set out in paragraph 3.1 above.

  • 3.3 With the exception of Geoff Acton and Rade Dudurovic, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 1 and 2.

  • 3.4 Lev Mizikovsky recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2 for the reasons set out in paragraph (n).

  • 3.5 The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 1 and 2.
