This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at:
-
Level 1, 28 Greenhill Road
-
Wayville South Australia 5034
-
on Wednesday 5 November 2014 at 10.00 am (Adelaide time).
This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in full and in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting before making any decision in relation to the resolutions, and is a brief explanation of Resolutions 1 to 6 in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and why the Company is seeking Shareholder approval.
General Business
Receiving Financial Statements And Reports
The Corporations Act requires that shareholders consider the annual consolidated financial report (which includes the Financial Statements and Directors’ Declaration), the Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report every year.
There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or the Constitution for Shareholders to approve the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report or the Auditor’s Report. Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports.
Whilst no resolution is required in relation to this item, the auditor of the Company or their representative will be available to receive questions relevant to:
-
a) the conduct of the audit;
-
b) the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report;
-
c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the Financial Statements; and
-
d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item of General Business.
Ordinary Business
RESOLUTION 1 Remuneration Report
The Directors’ Report set out in the 2014 Annual Report contains a Remuneration Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014, which sets out the policy for the remuneration of the Directors, company secretaries and the senior managers. Shareholders who did not elect to receive a hard copy of the 2014 Annual Report and financial statements can view them on the Company’s website at www.archerexploration.com.au
The Remuneration Report provides information on the following issues:
-
the policies adopted by the Board for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors, the company secretary and senior managers;
-
the relationship between the remuneration policies and the Company’s performance;
-
the performance conditions that apply to the different components of the remuneration structure, why those performance conditions were chosen and how performance is measured against them; and
-
remuneration details for Directors and senior executives.
The Board believes the Company’s remuneration policies and structures as outlined in the Remuneration Report are appropriate relative to the size of the Company, its business and strategic objective and current and emerging market practices.
Section 300A of the Corporations Act requires the directors to include a remuneration report in their report for the financial year. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Remuneration Report be put to the vote at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. Shareholders should note that the vote will be advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing remuneration practices and policies.
In relation to the non-binding shareholder vote, if 25% or more of the votes that are cast are against the adoption of the remuneration report at an AGM and comments are made on the remuneration report, the Company’s subsequent remuneration report is required to include an explanation of the board’s proposed action or why no action has been taken.
Where 25% or more of the votes that are cast are against the adoption of the remuneration report at a company’s second AGM, then if shareholders at that second AGM passes an ordinary resolution to hold a

RESOLUTION 1 continues
further meeting (“Spill Resolution”), then the directors who approved the directors’ report, other than the managing director, must resign or cease to hold office and may be reappointed to the vacated positions.
At the 2013 AGM, the Company’s Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 received 97% of votes cast for the Remuneration Report.
Board Recommendation
The Board, while noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
RESOLUTION 2
Re-Election of Alice McCleary as a Director
Clause 2.5 of the Company’s Constitution requires that at every Annual General Meeting one third of the Directors for the time being (excluding the Managing Director) must retire from office and be eligible for re-election.
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director (excluding the Managing Director) must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the directors’ appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer. However, a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the entity.
Alice McCleary retires by rotation and offers herself for re-election pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and the Company’s Constitution. The qualifications and experience of Alice McCleary are set out below.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

RESOLUTION 3
Subsequent Approval of Issue of Securities
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires the Company to obtain shareholder approval if it issues, or agrees to issue, securities in the capital of the Company in any 12 month period that aggregate more than 15% in number of the existing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (15% Rule).
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows a company in a general meeting to subsequently approve an issue of securities for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. If approval is granted, the issue of securities is treated as having been made with approval.
The Company seeks the approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of Performance Rights over unissued shares, as set out in the table below. If such approval is given, the Company will be entitled under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue up to 15% of the ordinary issued securities of the Company, if required, in the next 12 months without shareholder approval. Please note that approval of 10% additional placement capacity is being sought in Resolution 4 which would enable the Company to issue an additional 10% of its issued share capital to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore would allow the Company to issue up to 25% of its issued capital in total.
No funds have been or will be received by the Company for the issue of the securities detailed following.
UraniumSA Limited (ASX listed), a director of Benefund Ltd, Forestry Corporation of South Australia and Adelaide Community Healthcare Alliance Inc (ACHA). She is Vice-President of the South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy (SACOME). Previous leadership roles include Deputy Chancellor of the University of South Australia and National President of the Taxation Institute of Australia. Alice’s professional interests include financial management and corporate governance.

Board Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 approving the previous issues of Performance Rights as outlined above.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
RESOLUTION 4
Approval of 10% Additional Placement Capacity
Background to Resolution 4
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 at which approval of the issue is obtained (10% Placement Capacity). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing
Rule 7.1 and allows the Company to issue up to 25% of its issued capital in total.
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 at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting and must remain compliant with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.1A at the date of the Meeting to be able to utilise the additional capacity to issue Equity Securities under that Listing Rule.

Annual General Meeting – Explanatory Memorandum Archer Exploration Limited ABN 64 123 993 233
RESOLUTION 4 continues
The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution which 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) to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The exact 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.2.
Number of Shares
The formula for calculating the maximum amount of securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity is calculated as follows:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue:
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 (excluding an issue of shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval);
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under this Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue and that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
The ability 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 this Notice, the Company has on issue 84,270,763 Shares and therefore has capacity to issue:
-
1) 12,640,614 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and
-
2) 8,427,076 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A (subject to approval of this Resolution 4).
A number of scenarios showing potential issues under Listing Rule 7.1A are detailed in the table.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Capacity as follows:
1) Minimum issue price
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.A.3, the issue price of Equity Securities under this 10% Placement Capacity will be no less than 75% of the VWAP for securities in that class calculated 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 securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
ii) if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph i), the date on which the securities are issued.
2) Risk of economic and voting dilution
If this Resolution 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 table below (in the case of unlisted options, only if the unlisted options are exercised).
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 approval under rule 7.1A; 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 or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below describes the potential dilution of existing ordinary security holders on the basis of at least three different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2, and also shows:
-
i) at least one example that assumes variable “A” is double the number of ordinary securities on issue at the time of the approval under rule 7.1A. Variable “A” is the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result 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 meeting of Shareholders; and
-
ii) at least one example where the issue price of ordinary securities has fallen by at least 50%.

| Funds raised | $1,685,415 $3,370,830 $6,741,660 |
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 unlisted options (including any unlisted options issued under the 10% Placement Capacity) are exercised 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 or as a result of any issues of Equity Securities pursuant to any other approval under Chapter 7 of the Listing Rules.
-
vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
vii) The issue price is $0.20, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 10 September 2014.
3) Timing
The date by which the Equity Securities may be issued is the earlier of:
-
i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting; and
-
ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (change involving main undertaking).
The approval will cease to be valid in the event that holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (change involving main undertaking).
4) Purposes for which Equity Securities may be issued
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
1) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new resources, assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

RESOLUTION 4 continues
Board Recommendation
The Board considers that the approval of the issue of the 10% Placement Capacity described above is beneficial for the Company as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue up to the maximum number of securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A in the next 12 months (without further Shareholder approval), should it be required. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
RESOLUTION 5
Adoption of Performance Rights Plan
Background to Resolution 5
The Company has established a plan called the Performance Rights Plan (Plan) as part of the overall remuneration strategy of the Company. The Plan provides for the issue of performance rights (Rights) to employees of the Company or an associated body corporate of the Company who have been invited by the Board to participate in the Plan. Subject to the satisfaction of any performance hurdles, the Rights result in the issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Shares). A copy of the rules for the Plan (Plan Rules) is available on the Company’s website www.archerexploration.com.au.
The Plan and the Rights are designed to assist the Company to attract and retain key employees of the Company and provide them with an incentive to maximise the return to Shareholders over the long term.
Reason for Shareholder approval
Under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company may not, without Members’ approval, issue Equity Securities of more than 15% of its total issued securities within a 12-month period.
However, under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9(b), an issue of Equity Securities by the Company under an employee incentive scheme will not be included in the calculation of the 15% if, within 3 years before the date of issue, holders of Shares have approved the issue of securities under the Plan as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. So as to not diminish the 15% capacity, the Company seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9(b) so that the issues of Rights under the Plan (and issues of the Shares issued on exercise of the Rights) will not be included in the calculation of the 15% for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
Any person who is an employee of the or an associated body corporate of the Company as determined by the Board from time to time is eligible under the Plan and any Rights granted under the Plan will be at the discretion of the Directors.
A summary of the terms of the Plan is included as Annexure A to this Notice.
Any Rights issued to Directors under the Plan will require separate Shareholder approval under the ASX Listing Rules.
This is the first time the Company has sought approval for issues of securities under the Plan as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. There have been 3,410,132 securities issued under the plan.
Board Recommendation
As the Directors have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 5, the Directors make no voting recommendation to Shareholders as to how to vote in relation to Resolution 5.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the adoption of the Plan.
RESOLUTION 6
Insertion of proportional takeover provisions in the Constitution
Background to Resolution 6
The Corporations Act permits a company’s constitution to include a provision that enables it to refuse to register Shares acquired under a proportional takeover bid, unless shareholders approve the bid.
The Company’s constitution, which was adopted on 9 May 2007, contained proportional takeover provisions (at clause 12.2). By operation of section 648G(1)(a) of the Corporations Act , these provisions ceased to apply on 9 May 2010, at which time the proportional takeover provisions were deemed to be omitted from the constitution under section 648G(3) of the Corporations Act.
The proportional takeover provisions proposed to be inserted into the Company’s constitution at clause 12.2 are attached to this Explanatory Memorandum as Annexure B.
Section 648G(5) of the Corporations Act requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders when they are considering the inclusion or renewal of proportional takeover provisions in a constitution.
==> picture [596 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
Annual General Meeting – Explanatory Memorandum Archer Exploration Limited ABN 64 123 993 233
RESOLUTION 6 continues
a) Proportional takeover bid
A proportional takeover bid is an off-market offer made to each Shareholder for a proportion of that Shareholder’s Shares (i.e. less than 100 per cent).
b) Effect of the proposed proportional takeover provisions
If a proportional takeover bid is made, the Directors must ensure that a general meeting to approve the bid is held more than 14 days before the last day of the bid period, at which Shareholders will consider a resolution to approve the takeover bid.
Each Shareholder will have one vote for each fully paid Share held, with the vote to be decided on a simple majority. The bidder and its associates are not allowed to vote on the resolution. The resolution will be passed if more than 50% of votes are cast in favour of the approval.
If the resolution is not passed at that meeting, then no transfer will be registered and the offer will be taken to have been withdrawn. If the resolution is not voted on by the deadline, then the bid will be taken to have been approved for the purposes of the proportional takeover provisions.
If the bid is approved (or taken to have been approved), all valid transfers must be registered by the Company.
The proposed proportional takeover approval provisions do not apply to full takeover bids and, if resolution 6 is passed, will only apply for three years after the date of passing that resolution, unless renewed under section 648G(4) of the Corporations Act.
c) Reasons
The Directors believe that Shareholders should be entitled to vote on whether a proportional takeover ought to proceed, given that such a bid might otherwise allow control of the Company to change without Shareholders being given the opportunity to sell all of their shares to the bidder. As such, the Shareholders may be exposed to the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium for their Shares.
d) Potential advantages and disadvantages
The Directors consider that the proportional takeover approval provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for the Directors because they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a proportional takeover bid should be approved. The potential advantages of the proposed proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders of the Company are:
-
Shareholders will be given the right to decide by majority vote whether to accept a proportional takeover bid;
-
the provisions may help Shareholders avoid being locked in as a minority and may prevent a bidder acquiring control of the Company without paying an adequate control premium (i.e. paying for all of their Shares);
-
the provisions may increase Shareholders’ bargaining power and may help ensure that any bid is adequately priced; and
-
knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders may help each individual Shareholder to decide whether to accept or reject the proportional offer.
Some potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions in clause 12.2 for Shareholders include:
-
they may discourage proportional takeover bids being made for Shares in the Company;
-
Shareholders may lose an opportunity to sell some of their Shares at a premium; and
-
the likelihood of a proportional takeover succeeding may be reduced.
d) Increase of substantial interest
As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal to acquire or to increase the extent of a substantial interest in the Company.
Board Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 for the insertion of the proportional takeover provision in the Company’s constitution.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.
The right of Shareholders to vote on a proportional takeover lessens this risk because it allows the Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable and should be permitted to proceed.
