The Company therefore is seeking Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 3,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares to the Vendors of the exploration licence applications in the Greenbushes Lithium Project.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that a company may reinstate its capacity to issue up to 15% of the ordinary securities on issue in a 12 month period if shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (B) in the event of a subdivision of the share capital of the Company, the number of Options will be subdivided in the same ratio as the ordinary share capital of the Company and the exercise price will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio;

  • (C) in the event of a return of the share capital of the Company, the number of Options will remain the same and the exercise price will be reduced by the same amount as the amount returned in relation to each ordinary share;

  • (D) in the event of a reduction of the share capital of the Company by a cancellation of paid up capital that is lost or not represented by available assets where no securities are cancelled the number of Options and the exercise price of each Option will remain unaltered;

  • (E) in the event of a pro-rata cancellation of shares in the Company, the number of Options will be reduced in the same ratio as the ordinary share capital of the Company and the exercise price of each Option will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio; and

  • (F) in the event of any other reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company, the number of Options or the exercise price or both will be reorganised (as appropriate) in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on the Option holder which are not conferred on shareholders.

(f) Adjustments to Options and Exercise Price

  • (i) Adjustments to the number of Shares over which Options exist and/or the exercise price may be made as described in paragraph (f)(ii) to take account of changes to the capital structure of the Company by way of pro-rata bonus and cash issues.

  • (ii) The method of adjustment for the purpose of paragraph (f)(i) shall be in accordance with the Listing Rules of the ASX from time to time, which, under Listing Rules 6.22.2 and 6.22.3, currently provide:

  • (A) Pro Rata Cash Issues

Where a pro-rata issue is made (except a bonus issue) to the holders of underlying securities, the exercise price of an Option may be reduced according to the following formula:

O’ = O – E[P-(S+D)]

N + 1

where:

  • O’ = the new exercise price of the Option.

  • O = the old exercise price of the Option.

  • E = the number of underlying securities into which one Option is Exercisable.

  • P = the average market price per security (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying securities during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.

  • S = the subscription price for a security under the pro-rata issue.

  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying securities (except those to be issued under the pro-rata issue).

  • N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security.

(B) Pro-Rata Bonus Issues

If there is a bonus issue to the holders of the underlying securities, on the exercise of any Options, the number of Shares received will include the number of bonus Shares that would have been issued if the Options had been exercised prior to the record date for bonus issues. The exercise price will not change.
