4. RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
On 12 October 2020, the Company issued 15,555,557 fully paid ordinary shares as a private placement in accordance with the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (Placement). This resolution seeks the approval of shareholders to ratify the issue of these shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The Placement does not fit within any of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under ASX listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the Share issue date.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under that rule.
To this end, resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval of the Placement under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If resolution 4 is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12month period following the Placement date.
If resolution 4 is not passed, the Share Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Placement date.
process, which involved Fosters seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from nonrelated parties of the Company.
A total of 15,555,557 fully paid ordinary shares were issued in the Placement at an issue price of $0.45 per share to raise $7 million before costs. These shares rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing shares on issue.
The proceeds from the issue of the Placement are intended to be used towards the purchase and commissioning of additional production modules to increase the Company’s production capacity at its Adelaide facility to satisfy anticipated upcoming demand. The Company also intends to increase its headcount in line with the demands of the business, by employing engineers, designers and manufacturing assistants to provide a strong based for the Company to scale significantly. The remaining proceeds (excluding costs) are intended to be applied to pursue and execute large contracts which have medium-to-long lead times.
Voting Exclusions
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of resolution 4 by or on behalf of Fosters, Adelaide Equity and any person who was issued shares in the Placement, or their respective associates, save where it is cast by:
-
A person as proxy or attorney for another person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way;
-
The chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or
-
A holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
-
The beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that they are not excluded from voting, and are not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and
-
The holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of ratifying the Placement.
Required information
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Share Issue.
The Placement was issued to Placement Participants, being institutional, sophisticated and professional investors to whom a prospectus does not need to be provided under the Corporations Act, and none of whom is a related party of the Company. The Placement Participants included Perennial Value Management Ltd, a substantial shareholder of the Company. Foster Stockbroking Pty Limited (Fosters) acted as Lead Manager for the Placement. Adelaide Equity Partners Ltd acted as Corporate Advisor for the Placement. The Lead Manager identified investors through a bookbuild

5. AUDITOR APPOINTMENT
William Buck was appointed by the Board to act as auditor of the Company in accordance with section 327A(1) of the Corporations Act. In accordance with section 327A(2) of the Corporations Act, William Buck holds this office as auditor until the Company’s first AGM. The purpose of this resolution is to seek shareholder approval for the ongoing appointment of William Buck as auditor under section 327B(1) of the Corporations Act.
In accordance with section 328B of the Corporations Act, a written notice nominating William Buck as the Company’s auditor has been given to the Company. A copy is attached to this Notice of Meeting at Annexure A. William Buck has provided to the Company a written consent to act as auditor of the Company.
Item 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in attendance, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of appointing William Buck as auditor of the Company.
6. APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period. Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its AGM, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 6 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.
If resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Item 6 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in attendance, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
Eligibility
An eligible entity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is one which (at the date of the relevant AGM) has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and is not included in the S&P / ASX 300 Index. The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The exact number of equity securities that may be issued pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an AGM may, during the period of the approval, issue or agree to issue a number of equity securities calculated as follows:
(A x D) - E
Where:
A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17,
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
ASX:AL3 AML3D Limited
| 7
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 6 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,
-
plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.
D is 10%.
E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
The “relevant period” means:
-
if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or
-
if the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.
Any equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in an existing quoted class of the
Company's equity securities. The Company presently has one class of quoted securities, being ordinary fully paid shares (Shares) (ASX Code: AL3).
Required information
The following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the resolution in Item 4, including for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.
Minimum price
Any equity securities issued by the Company under Listing Rule 7.1A can only be issued at a price that is no less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(b) the date on which the securities are issued if the securities are not issued within ten trading days of the date on which the issue price is agreed.
Dilution to existing Shareholders
If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is a risk that the market price of the Company's securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the AGM and the securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price on the issue date.
The table below shows a number of hypothetical scenarios for a 10% placement as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.4 where the number of the Company's shares on issue (variable "A" in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2) has remained current or increased by either 50% or 100% and the share price has decreased by 50%, remained current or increased by 100% based on the closing share price on ASX at 16 October 2020.

This table has been prepared based on the following assumptions:
-
(c) The price of ordinary securities is deemed for the purposes of the table above to be $0.5450, being the closing price of the Company’s listed Shares on 16 October 2020 (Deemed Price). The Deemed Price is indicative only;
-
(d) Variable A is based on the Shares on issue as at 16 October 2020; 53,806,606 of these Shares are currently unquoted, of which 2,785,135 are subject to escrow until 19 December 2020, 17,500 are subject to escrow until 30 January 2021 and 51,004,971 are subject to escrow until 20 April 2022.

-
(e) The actual number of Shares that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2;
-
(f) The Company issues the maximum number of securities available under the additional 10% placement;
-
(g) No unlisted options are exercised into fully paid ordinary shares before the date of the issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has 17,166,179 unlisted Options on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

-
(i) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of the placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the AGM; and
-
(d) advice from professional and corporate advisers (if applicable).
Allottees under the 10% placement have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and may include existing and/or new Shareholders but cannot include any related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Information provided for compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6
The Company has not previously sought shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of approving the additional 10% placement capacity.
- (j) Funds raised are before any capital raising costs which may be incurred.
10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM until the earlier of:
-
(a) 12 months after the AGM; or
-
(b) the time and date of the Company’s next AGM; or
-
(c) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Purpose of 10% additional placement
The Company may seek to issue securities for cash consideration under the 10% placement to use the funds for working capital, capital expenditure, acquisitions or capital management activities deemed by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company.
Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4
The Company will comply with any disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4.
Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy is dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% placement. The identity of allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(a) the methods of raising funds that are then available to the Company;
-
(b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-

You may appoint the Chairman of the AGM as your proxy. In addition, the Chairman of the meeting is deemed to be appointed where a signed proxy form is returned which does not contain the name of the proxy or where the person appointed on the form is absent.
If a shareholder directs the Chairman how to vote on an item of business, the Chairman must vote in accordance with the direction.
For proxies without voting instructions that are exercisable by the Chairman, the Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of all resolutions.
In relation to resolution 3, which is a remuneration-related resolution, if the Chairman of the meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not directed your proxy how to vote on this resolution, please note that by completing and returning the proxy form accompanying this Notice of Meeting you will be expressly authorising the Chairman of the meeting to exercise your undirected proxy on these resolutions even though they are connected with the remuneration of the Company’s key management personnel.
Directing your proxy how to vote
If you wish to indicate how your proxy should vote, please mark the appropriate boxes on the proxy form.
If you do not mark a voting instructions box in respect of a resolution, your proxy can vote as he or she decides, subject to any voting exclusions that apply to the proxy.

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for
each proxy otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. To appoint a second proxy, you must follow the instructions on the proxy form. Where more than one proxy is appointed that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, and both attend the meeting, neither proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands.
Completing the proxy form
A proxy form must be signed by the shareholder or his/her attorney or, in the case of a corporation, be executed in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act or signed by an authorised officer or attorney. If the proxy form is signed by an attorney or by the authorised officer of a corporation, the power of attorney or other authority (or a notarially certified copy) must accompany the form unless it has been provided to the Company previously.
