EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement and all attachments are important documents. They should be read carefully.
If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice, please contact the Company, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
1. Background to the Resolutions
On 14 October 2019, the Company announced it had secured funding to settle the acquisition of the Zistersdorf and Gaiselberg oil and gas fields located onshore in the Vienna Basin, Austria ( RAG Production Assets ) as well as agreements for exploration data and access arrangements from RAG Austria AG ( RAG ) to RAG’s production infrastructure in Upper Austria as announced on the 2 July 2019.
The funding package comprised:
-
binding commitments for A$ 3.5 million in loan notes (Loan Notes) from a small number of professional and sophisticated investors, and
-
a $2 million placement of Shares to professional and sophisticated investors at a price of 1 cent per Share ( Placement ).
In addition, on 18 October 2019 the Company released an offer under a prospectus to eligible Shareholders in the form of a ‘securities purchase plan’ ( SPP Offer ) on the same terms as the Placement, to raise a further $1,500,000.
Loan Notes
The Company has issued 35 Loan Notes of $100,000 each totalling A$ 3.5 million.
For each Loan Note, the subscriber receives 3,857,143 free attaching unlisted options, with an exercise price of 1.8 cents per option and expiring 2 years after the subscription date. This equates to a total of 135,000,005 options. Interest is paid quarterly at 6% per annum with 50% of the principal repaid after 12 months, and the remainder after 24 months. The drawdown of funds from the Loan Notes is subject to receipt of approvals by ADX from the Bundesministerium für Nachhaltigkeit und Tourismus in Austria for the transfer of the RAG Production Assets to ADX in accordance with the binding asset purchase agreements with RAG ( Condition ). This is expected late October to mid November 2019. The Loan Note Options are expected to have been issued 5 business days after the Condition is met, which is to occur prior to the date of this Meeting ( Loan Note Options ).
Placement
ADX completed a placement of 200 million Shares at 1 cent per Share to sophisticated and institutional investors to raise $2 million before costs ( Placement ). The Placement was undertaken using Shareholder approval obtained by ADX on 20 September 2019 to issue up to 500 million Shares to sophisticated and professional investors.
The Placement was completed under a prospectus, lodged on 14 October 2019. Each Placement subscriber is to receive one free attaching quoted option ( Placement Option ) for every three new Shares issued. The Placement Options will be exercisable at 1.5 cents with an expiry date of 20 November 2020.
The issue of the Placement Options are subject to approval by Shareholders at this General Meeting.
SPP Offer
In addition to the Placement and Loan Notes, on 18 October 2019, eligible Shareholders were invited to participate in the SPP Offer at 1 cent per Share ( SPP Shares ). This is the same price as the offer price under the Placement. SPP Offer participants will also receive one free attaching quoted Option for every three new Shares issued ( SPP Options ). The SPP Options will be exercisable at 1.5 cents with an expiry date of 20 November 2020.
The issue of the SPP Options is subject to approval by Shareholders at this General Meeting.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Options and SPP Options respectively.

Resolutions 3 and 4 seek Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Shares under the SPP Offer and Resolution 5 seeks to ratify the issue of the Loan Note Options.

By approving these issues, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. In addition, the base figure (ie variable ‘A’) upon which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will include any shares issued upon exercise of these options.

-
