Explanatory Memorandum

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders to understand the business to be put to Shareholders at the forthcoming General Meeting.

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of General Meeting. Please refer to Annexure A for definitions of capitalised terms in the Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum.

Business

Background to Resolutions 1, 2 and 3

On 24 June 2021, the Company announced ( Placement Announcement ) that it is carrying out a private placement of Shares to raise $40 million (before costs) from various sophisticated and institutional investors from Australia and overseas jurisdictions ( Placement ). The Placement Announcement also adds that the Company is seeking to raise up to approximately $5 million by way of a share purchase plan at the same offer price as under the Placement ( SPP ).

The Placement is comprised of two tranches, as detailed below (and as described in the Placement Announcement):

Tranche Number Shares Offer Price per Share Total Subscription Amount
Tranche 1 175,617,114 $0.12 $21,074,054
Tranche 2 157,716,220 $0.12 $18,925,946
Total 333,333,334 - $40,000,000

Tranche 1

Tranche 1 of the Placement has completed and all of the Tranche 1 Shares to be issued were issued on 2 July 2021. The Tranche 1 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Tranche 2

The issue of the Tranche 2 Shares under the Placement has not yet occurred and is subject to Shareholder approval. Resolution 2 seeks that Shareholder approval.

An offer management fee of 4% of the total proceeds raised under the Placement is payable by the Company to Petra Capital Pty Ltd ( Petra ), the lead manager and book runner of the Placement. In addition, an incentive fee of up to 0.5% of total proceeds raised under the Placement is payable to Petra at the discretion of the Company acting reasonably and in good faith.

No fees are payable to Petra in respect of funds raised under the SPP.

SPP

The issue of Shares under the SPP is subject to Shareholder approval. Resolution 3 seeks that Shareholder approval.

Explanatory Memorandum

1 Resolution 1 – Ratification of Previous Issue of Shares under Tranche 1 of the Placement

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions 1, 2 and 3” above.

Listing Rule 7.1

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 7.4

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 Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that rule.

Shareholder approval sought

The issue of the Tranche 1 Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it has used up all of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

Under this Resolution, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, and will continue to restrict the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Listing Rule 7.5 requires the following specific information to be provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) The Shares were issued to various sophisticated and institutional investors from Australia and overseas jurisdictions. None of these investors were material investors whose identities are required to be disclosed under ASX Guidance Note 21.

  • (b) 175,617,114 Shares were issued in total.

  • (c) The Shares issued are all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.

  • (d) The Shares were issued on 2 July 2021.

  • (e) The issue price for the Shares was $0.12 per Share.

  • (f) The funds raised from the Placement are intended to be used to commence Front End Engineering and Design activities at the Company’s Nolans Project and for general working capital purposes.

  • (g) Fees payable by the Company to Petra in respect of the Placement are set out in the “Background to Resolutions 1, 2 and 3” above. There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of the Placement.

  • A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Explanatory Memorandum

Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2 Resolution 2 – Issue of Shares under Tranche 2 of the Placement

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions 1, 2 and 3” above. Please also refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for Resolution 1 for information about Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholder approval sought

The proposed issue of Shares under Tranche 2 of the Placement does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares can proceed and the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares will not proceed and the Company will not raise a significant portion of the proceeds under the Placement. This would mean that the Company would need to seek alternative sources of finance prior to commencing its front-end engineering and design work, which could have an adverse effect on the Company and the price of Shares. In addition, certain transaction costs in relation to the Placement (including in respect of Tranche 2 of the Placement), such as legal and advisory fees, will still be payable by the Company.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following specific information to be provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) The Tranche 2 Shares will be issued to various sophisticated and institutional investors from Australia and overseas jurisdictions. None of these investors were material investors whose identities are required to be disclosed under ASX Guidance Note 21.

  • (b) Up to 157,716,220 Shares will be issued in total.

  • (c) The Shares will all be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.

  • (d) The Tranche 2 Shares will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting, however the Company expects to issue the Tranche 2 Shares on or about 13 August 2021.

  • (e) The issue price for the Shares will be $0.12 per Share.

  • (f) The funds raised from the Placement are intended to be used to commence Front End Engineering and Design activities at the Company’s Nolans Project and for general working capital purposes.

  • (g) Fees payable by the Company to Petra in respect of the Placement are set out in the “Background to Resolutions 1, 2 and 3” above. There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of the Placement.

  • A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 2 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Explanatory Memorandum

3 Resolution 3 – Issue of Shares under SPP

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions 1, 2 and 3” above. Please also refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for Resolution 1 for information about Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 5 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 for an issue of securities under a security purchase plan where (among other things) the issue price of the securities offered under the plan is at least 80% of the volume weighted average market price for the securities calculated over the last five trading days before the day on which the issue was announced, or the day on which the issue was made.

The issue price under the SPP is $0.12 per Share, which is the same issue price as under the Placement and represents a 29.1% discount to the volume weighted average market price of Shares calculated over the last five trading days before the day the SPP was announced (being $0.1693). Accordingly, as the discount of 29.1% exceeds the 20% discount permitted under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 5, that exception does not apply to the SPP.

Shareholder approval sought

As the proposed issue of Shares under the SPP does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, it therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 45,833,333 Shares under the SPP ( SPP Shares ) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. Arafura may accept oversubscriptions under the SPP and the issue of up to 45,833,333 Shares will provide the flexibility to accept up to $500,000 of oversubscriptions.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of the SPP Shares can proceed and the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of the SPP Shares will not proceed, the SPP will be withdrawn and the Company will not raise any funds under the SPP. Accordingly, any amounts received from eligible shareholders under the SPP will be refunded by the Company, without interest.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following specific information to be provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) The SPP Shares will be issued to Shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at 7.00pm (AEST) on 23 June 2021 who apply for SPP Shares (provided such applications are accepted by Arafura).

  • (b) Up to 45,833,333 Shares will be issued in total. The Shares will all be fully paid ordinary shares.

  • (c) The SPP Shares will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting.

  • (d) The issue price for the Shares will be $0.12 per Share.

  • (e) The funds raised from the SPP will be used for the same purposes as the Placement (described above).

  • (f) The other material terms of the SPP are set out in the SPP offer booklet announced to ASX on 5 July 2021.

The Company has been granted a waiver by ASX (on 25 June 2021) from Listing Rule 7.3.9 to permit the Company to include Resolution 3 in this Notice and not to include a voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 3 that excludes the votes of persons who may participate in the SPP, provided that: (1) the SPP is not underwritten, or if it is underwritten, the Company excludes any votes cast in favour of Resolution 3 by any proposed underwriter or subunderwriter of the SPP; and (2) the Company excludes any votes cast in favour of Resolution 3 by any investor who may receive Shares under any SPP shortfall. In addition, the Company has been granted a concurrent waiver of Listing Rule 10.11 to permit the directors of the Company to participate in the SPP without Shareholder approval, provided that Shareholders approve the SPP and directors and their associates are offered Shares under the SPP on the same terms as other Shareholders.

Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
