Page 15
Apollo Notice of GM
6.2 ASX Listing Rule & Corporations Act Disclosure Requirements
The options are considered reasonable remuneration and no regulatory approval will be sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities, such as the Options proposed to be issued pursuant to Resolution 6, to a related party of the Company. If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company requires shareholder approval to issue the Options to Mr Richard Shemesian as, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the Director is a related party of the Company.
Shareholder approval is also sought for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act, to the extent that any termination benefits are provided to Mr Shemesian in connection with the grant of these options.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided to members:
The related parties to whom the financial benefit to be given and the nature of the financial benefit are set out in the table below:
| Related Party | Relationship | Number of Options |
Exercise Price |
Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Richard Shemesian |
Director | 25,000,000 | 1.3 cents | 28/2/2018 |
The terms and conditions of the Options to be granted to the Director are set out in Annexure B.
The Directors of the Company are Mr Richard Shemesian, Mr Anthony Ho and Mr Eric Finlayson.
The Directors in the case of each grant of Options to another Director or his Associate consider that the number and terms of the Options constitutes an appropriate number of Options to adequately incentivise each of the Directors in light of their skill, experience and reputation when considered together with their remuneration as Directors.
All directors, excluding Mr Shemesian, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. Mr Shemesian abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders in respect of Resolution 6 as he is personally interested in the outcome of Resolution 6 in that he (or his nominee(s)) is the proposed recipient of the Options.
6.3 Valuation
The Directors have undertaken a valuation of the options using an employee option valuation model based on Black and Scholes. It is a requirement of ASIC that a dollar value be placed on the Options to be issued.
Page 16
Apollo Notice of GM
In determining this value, the following assumptions have been made:
-
(a) the Share price at the issue dates is assumed to be $0.011 per Share, which is based on volume weighted average prices of trading in the Shares up to and including 16 March 2015;
-
(b) the Options are to be exercisable at $0.013;
-
(c) the Options are expected to mature within approximately three years of their date of issue, being at the latest 28 February 2018;
-
(d) the estimate of volatility, based on price volatility of the Shares to the expiry of the options is approximately 56% based on share volatility for the last three months; and
-
(e) the average current risk-free interest rate is 1.89% (the Government bond rate for 3 years – the length of the option).
On this basis, the options are valued at approximately $0.0037 per Option. Therefore, the implied "value" of the Options being granted to directors is as follows:
| Related Party | Number of Options | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Richard Shemesian |
25,000,000 | $ 63,050 |
Other information that is reasonably required by members to make a decision whether it is in the best interest of the Company to pass Resolution 6 and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors is as follows:

7.2 ASX Listing Rule & Corporations Act Disclosure Requirements
The options are considered reasonable remuneration and no regulatory approval will be sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities, such as the Options proposed to be issued pursuant to Resolution 7, to a related party of the Company. If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Director | 1,500,000 | 1.3 cents | 28/2/2018 |
The terms and conditions of the Options to be granted to the Director are set out in Annexure B.
The Directors of the Company are Mr Richard Shemesian, Mr Anthony Ho and Mr Eric Finlayson.
The Directors in the case of each grant of Options to another Director or his Associate consider that the number and terms of the Options constitutes an appropriate number of Options to adequately incentivise each of the Directors in light of their skill, experience and reputation when considered together with their remuneration as Directors.
All directors, excluding Mr Ho, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7. Mr Ho abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders in respect of Resolution 7 as he is personally interested in the outcome of Resolution 7 in that he (or his nominee(s)) is the proposed recipient of the Options.
7.3 Valuation
The Directors have undertaken a valuation of the options using an employee option valuation model based on Black and Scholes. It is a requirement of ASIC that a dollar value be placed on the Options to be issued.
In determining this value, the following assumptions have been made:
-
(a) the Share price at the issue dates is assumed to be $0.011 per Share, which is based on volume weighted average prices of trading in the Shares up to and including 16 March 2015;
-
(b) The Options are to exercisable at $0.013 per share;
-
(c) The Options are will expire on 28 February 2015
-
(d) the estimate of volatility, based on price volatility of the Shares to the expiry of the options is approximately 56% based on share volatility for the last 3 months; and
-
(e) the average current risk-free interest rate is 1.89% (Government Bond rate for 3 years being the option period).

|---|---|---|
| Anthony Ho | 1,500,000 | $3,791 |
Other information that is reasonably required by members to make a decision whether it is in the best interest of the Company to pass Resolution 7 and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors is as follows:

10. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL FOR SHARE CONSOLIDATION ON THE BASIS OF 1 FOR 10
10.1 Background
The Company proposes to consolidate the Company’s share capital through the conversion of every ten ordinary shares into one ordinary share (the “Share Consolidation”). The Corporations Act 2001 provides that a company may consolidate its shares if the consolidation is
Page 27
Apollo Notice of GM
approved by an ordinary resolution. This section of the explanatory statement provides the information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.20 to be provided to shareholders in relation to the resolution.
10.2 Reasons for the proposal
The reasons for the proposal are as follows:
-
The Company currently has more than 675 million shares on issue.
-
The Share Consolidation will result in a more appropriate and
-
effective capital structure for the Company and a share price more appealing to a wider range of investors globally.
10.3 Effect of the Share Consolidation
(a) Ordinary shares
If the resolution is approved, every 10 shares on issue will be consolidated into 1 share (subject to rounding). Overall, this will result in the numbers of shares on issue reducing from 675,429,203 (as at 16 March 2015) to 67,542,921.
As the Share Consolidation applies equally to all shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of Company shares (subject to rounding). Accordingly, assuming no other market movements or impacts occur, the Share Consolidation will have no effect on the percentage interest of each shareholder, the aggregate value of each shareholder’s holding or the Company’s market capitalisation (other than minor changes as a result of rounding).
For example, a holding of 50,000 shares at a share price of A$0.01 (aggregate value of A$500) prior to the Share Consolidation should equate to a holding of 5,000 shares and a share price of A$0.10 after the Share Consolidation (aggregate value of A$500).
(b) Performance Rights
As at 16 March 2015, the Company had 16,000,000 performance rights on issue under its Performance Rights Plan. Performance rights have a nil exercise price. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the share rights and ASX Listing Rule 7.21, performance rights will be consolidated in a similar manner to ordinary shares. After the Share Consolidation, based on the number of share rights on issue as at 16 April, 2015, the Company will have 1,600,000 performance rights on issue.
For example, a holding of 10,000 performance rights before the consolidation, would result in a holding of 1,000 performance rights after the Share Consolidation. The exercise price will remain: nil.
Page 28
Apollo Notice of GM
(c) Options
As at 16 March 2015, the Company had 111,916,667 unlisted options on issue with various exercise prices and expiry dates. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the options and ASX Listing Rule 7.22, these options will be consolidated on the same basis as the Company’s shares with the effect that the number of shares the subject of each option agreement will be reduced by a factor of 10 and the exercise price will be increased by a factor of 10. After the Share Consolidation, there will be 11,191,667 unlisted options.
For example, a holding of 500,000 options with an exercise price of A$0.03 pre consolidation would result in a holding of 50,000 options with an exercise price of A$0.30 after the Share Consolidation.
10.4 Rounding
Where the consolidation of a shareholder’s holding results in an entitlement to a fraction of a share, the fraction will be rounded up to the next whole number of shares. Fractions of share rights and options will also be rounded up to the next whole number.
10.5 Holding Statements
From the effective date of the Share Consolidation, all existing holding statements will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of securities on a post- consolidation basis. New holding statements will be issued to security holders who should check their holdings after the Share Consolidation.
10.6 Tax implications of Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation should not result in a capital gains tax (CGT) event for Australian tax residents. The cost base of the shares held after the Share Consolidation will be the sum of the cost bases of the original shares pre-consolidation. The acquisition date of shares held after the Share Consolidation will be the same as the date on which the original shares were acquired.
These statements do not consider the tax implications in respect of shares or securities held on revenue account, as trading stock, by non-resident shareholders or under the Share Rights Plan or Executives’ Options Plan. Shareholders should consider their own circumstances and seek their own professional advice in relation to their tax position. Neither the Company nor any of its officers or employees assumes any liability or responsibility for advising shareholders or securities holders about the tax consequences of the proposed Share Consolidation.
