9. Resolution 6 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity

9.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the effect will be that the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the effect will be that the Company will not be able to issue any Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity and will have to rely upon its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of Equity Securities.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

9.2 Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

  • (b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities, being Shares.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Capacity

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities that have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D)E

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • 8 -

  • (i) plus the number of Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exception 9, 16 or 17),

  • (ii) plus the number of Shares issued in the 12 months on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 (exception 9) where:

  • (A) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the 12 months; or

  • (B) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,

  • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the 12 months under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 16) where:

  • (A) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • (B) the agreement or issue was approved or taken under these rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,

  • (iv) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4 (noting that this may include fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 17) where the issue is subsequently approved under Listing Rule 7.1),

  • (v) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (vi) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months where the issue or agreement to issue has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 386,272,350 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 57,940,853 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 6, 38,627,235 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities 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 (refer to Section 9.2(c).

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the

  • 9 -

15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (f)

10% Placement Period

  • (i) Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (A) The date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained.

  • (B) The time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting.

  • (C) The time and date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( the 10% Placement Period ).

9.3 Effect of Resolution

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

9.4

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:

  • (a) Shareholder approval will be valid during the 10% Placement Period as detailed in Section 9.2(f).

  • (b) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,

  • which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (d) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice.

  • (e) The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable 'A' has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable 'A' is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company

  • 10 -

has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and

(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  • (ii) No Performance Rights or Options are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iii) 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%.

  • (iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.
