Resolution 8 (Share Placement Facility) and Resolution 9 (10% Additional Placement Capacity)

Explanatory Memorandum

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice of Meeting and 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 10:00am on Friday, 28 October 2016 at Level 1, 67 Greenhill Road, Wayville South Australia 5034.

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 9 in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and why the Company is seeking Shareholder approval.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORT

As required by Section 317 of the Corporations Act, the Financial Report and the reports of the Directors and the Auditor for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 will be laid before the meeting.

During this item of business, Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the reports and the business and management of the Company.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve these reports. However, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask a representative of the Company’s Auditor, Grant Thornton, questions in relation to the conduct of the audit (including the independence of the Auditor), and the accounting policies adopted by the Company.

RESOLUTION 1 - REMUNERATION REPORT

Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report contained in the Directors’ Report set out in the 2016 Annual Report and is also available 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.

A reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report will be provided at the Annual General Meeting.

The shareholder vote on the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company, in accordance with Section 250R of the Corporations Act. If more than 25% of the votes cast on a resolution to adopt the remuneration report are against the adoption of the remuneration report for two consecutive annual general meetings, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution that another meeting be held within 90 days, at which all of the Company’s Directors must stand for re-election. At the 2015 AGM, the Company’s remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2015 did not receive a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more.

Board Recommendation

The Board 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 M[C] CLEARY AS A DIRECTOR

Clause 2.5 of the Company’s Constitution requires that at every Annual General Meeting one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must retire from office and are eligible for re-election. Also, under ASX Listing Rule 14.4 no Director may hold office without re-election beyond the third Annual General Meeting following the meeting at which the director was last elected or re-elected.

Accordingly, Ms Alice M[c] Cleary will retire by rotation and offers herself for re-election.

RESOLUTIONS 4, 5, 6 AND 7 - ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS

Background

The Company has previously implemented the Archer Exploration Performance Rights Plan ( Plan ) which provides for the issue of Rights to Directors, senior executives and employees of the Company and its associated body corporates.

The Plan is designed to provide the Company’s employees, directors and executives with a performance linked incentive to maximize the return to Members over the long term and to assist in the attraction and retention of key employees, directors and executives.

Subject to the satisfaction of any performance conditions, the Rights result in the issue of Shares. A copy of the rules for the Plan ( Plan Rules ) is available on the Company’s website www.archerexploration.com.au/index.php?PID=107.

In July 2016 the Company engaged an independent remuneration consultant to undertake a review of the Company’s remuneration arrangements for its directors. As part of that review the consultant provided the Board with recommendations regarding Director’s overall remuneration going forward, including appropriate non-cash long-term incentives. Following the review and associated recommendations provided to the Board, the Board has determined to include a non-cash incentive based component to each Director’s remuneration to both preserve cash and to better aligning the interests of Directors with those of Shareholders.

Explanatory Memorandum

Reason for seeking approval

Resolutions 4 to 7 seek Member approval for the Company to issue each of Greg English, Tom Phillips AM, Alice McCleary and Paul Rix ( Participating Directors ) with 450,000 Rights (total of 1,800,000 Rights) and the subsequent issue of Shares upon the vesting and exercise of those Rights.

Under the ASX Listing Rule 10.14, shareholders are required to approve the issue of securities (including shares, performance rights, options over unissued shares and other convertible securities) to directors under an employee incentive scheme.

If approval of the issue of the Rights is given under Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of the Rights to Participating Directors will therefore not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Performance Rights - component of Director remuneration

The Rights, if approved for grant, will form part of each Participating Director’s respective remuneration package. The Rights will be in addition to the respective executive salary payable to Mr English and the fees payable to the NonExecutive Directors.

The Board notes that the grant of the Rights to each of the Non-Executive Directors (Tom Phillips, Alice McCleary and Paul Rix) is contrary to the guidelines on non-executive director remuneration in Box 8.2 of Recommendation 8.3 of the ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.

The Board considers the grant of the Rights to the Participating Directors, to be reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances for the following reasons:

  • the grant of Rights to Participating Directors is necessary to attract the highest caliber of professionals to the Company and retain them, whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves;

  • the Company is at a critical stage in its development and the Participating Directors have specific experience that will be invaluable to Archer in the development and commercialisation of its Leigh Creek Magnesite and Eyre Peninsula Graphite projects, so the Company considers the additional remuneration is warranted in the circumstances; and

  • if the Performance Conditions required to be achieved for the Rights to be exercised, are not met, then the Rights will not be exercised into Shares and there will be no dilutive impact on Shareholders.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless Shareholder approval is obtained for the giving of the benefit, or the giving of the benefit falls within one of the exceptions in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

Each of the Participating Directors is a related party of the Company under section 228(2) of the Corporations Act by virtue of being a Director. The grant of the Rights to the Participating Directors would constitute the giving of a financial benefit to them.

The Board has considered the application of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and has resolved that the reasonable remuneration exception provided in Section 211 of the Corporations Act is relevant in the circumstances and accordingly, the Company will not seek approval for the issue of the Rights pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.

If Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 are approved, then each Participating Director in office at the date of the Annual General Meeting will have the following interests in the Company’s securities:

Director Shares Unlisted Options New Performance Rights
Greg English 9,076,644 Nil 450,000
Thomas Phillips AM 1,335,709 170,363 unlisted options exercisable at $0.12

Board Recommendation – Resolutions 4 to 7 .

Mr English has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 and declines to make any recommendation in relation to that Resolution.

Ms M[c] Cleary has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6 and declines to make any recommendation in relation to that Resolution.

Further, in accordance with ASIC guidance on the matter, each Director considers that it is not appropriate for him or her to make a recommendation in relation to the remuneration of another Director. Accordingly, all Directors decline to make any recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4, Resolution 5, Resolution 6 and Resolution 7.

A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 4-7 is set out in the Notice.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolution 4, Resolution 5, Resolution 6 and Resolution 7.

RESOLUTION 8 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE UP TO 20,000,000 NEW SHARES

Background to Resolution 8

The Board seeks Shareholder approval for a Share placement facility to allow for the issue of up to 20,000,000 new Shares.

Listing Rule Requirements

The Company seeks to have the flexibility to issue Shares to allow this number of Shares not to be included in the calculation under Listing Rule 7.1. This will enable the Company to have the flexibility to new Shares during the 3 months after the Meeting without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements

Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information to be provided to Shareholders when seeking an approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1:

  • a) The maximum number of securities to be issued is 20,000,000 Shares.

  • b) The Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

  • c) The Shares will be issued at a price that is at least 80% of the average market price of Shares calculated over the last 5 days on which sales of the Shares were recorded before the day on which the issue is made, or, if there is a prospectus relating to the issue, over the 5 days on which sales of Shares are recorded before the date of the prospectus.

  • d) The names of the proposed allottees are not known and the quantity of the Shares to be issued to each allottee is not known. The Company intends (but without limitation) to issue the Shares to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors who are exempt from the disclosure requirements of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. The Shares will not be issued to Directors or other related parties.

  • e) The Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and will rank equally with the Company’s current issued Shares.

  • f) The Company intends to use the funds raised from the issue of the Shares to assist funding the exploration and development of the Eyre Peninsula Graphite, Leigh Creek Magnesite, and Mount James Barite Projects and for general working capital which may also be applied towards the Company’s other exploration projects.

  • g) It is intended that the Shares will be allotted on several dates during the 3 month period specified in paragraph (b) above.

Effect of Shareholder approval of Resolution 8

If Shareholders approve the Resolution 8, then the Company will then have the flexibility to issue up to 20 million new Shares during the 3 month period after the Meeting if an opportunity arises which the Board believes is in the best interests of the Company. For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of these Shares would not make up part of the 15% limit and would enable that proportion of the 15% limit to be used for a future issue of equity securities.

If Resolution 8 is not approved

If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 8, then the Company’s ability to issue further securities in the 3 month period following the Annual General Meeting, without Shareholder approval, will be reduced. However, the Company may still issue further Shares within the limit of the existing 15% capacity within Listing Rule 7.1 without seeking shareholder approval.

Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 8 for the granting of authority to issue additional shares as outlined above.

A voting exclusion statement for this Resolution 8 is set out in the Notice.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolution 8.

RESOLUTION 9 - APPROVAL OF 10% ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY

Background to Resolution 9

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.

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 110,194,306 Shares and therefore has capacity to issue:

  • 1) 16,529,146 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and

  • 2) 11,019,430 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A (subject to approval of this Resolution 9).

A number of scenarios showing potential issues under Listing Rule 7.1A are detailed in the table below.

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).

Explanatory Memorandum

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%.

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 $0.071, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 07 September 2016.

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).

Explanatory Memorandum

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

  • 2) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new resources, assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

5) Allocation Policy

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a caseby-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • 1) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • 2) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • 3) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • 4) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

6) Previously obtained approval under rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2015 AGM on 13 November 2015. As such, for the purposes of rule 7.3A.6:

  • a) the total number of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting is 52,465,427 and the percentage they represent of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period is 62%;

  • b) details of all issues of Equity Securities issued by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting, including for each such issue the required information under Listing Rule 7.3A.6(b) is set out in the table below:

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 9.

A voting exclusion statement for this Resolution 9 is set out in the Notice.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolution 9.

Explanatory Memorandum

Appendix A – Terms and conditions of Rights to be issued to Participating Directors

  • 1) Each Right will entitle the holder of the Right (Holder) to subscribe for one Share in the Company (subject to possible adjustments referred to in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 below).

  • 2) Each Right will expire on 31 July 2019. Rights will only vest upon the satisfaction of service and share price performance conditions.

  • 3) There is no exercise price on vesting.

  • 4) Shares issued pursuant to the vesting of the Rights will rank in all respects on equal terms with the existing Shares in the Company.

  • 5) The Company will not seek to have the Rights admitted to the official list of ASX and the Rights will not be listed on ASX. The Company will make application for new Shares allotted on vesting of the Rights to be admitted to the official list of ASX.

  • 6) Holders of Rights cannot transfer, or use them as security for a loan or deal with them in any other way.

  • 7) Rights will not entitle the Holder to participate in any new issue of securities by the Company unless the Right has been duly vested prior to the relevant record date. The Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to participate in any new issues of securities to holders of Shares, that the record date will be at least six business days after the date the issue is announced.

  • 8) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares, the number of Shares over which the Right is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Holder would have received if the Rights had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • 9) If, prior to the expiry date, the issued capital of the Company is reorganised, the number of Shares to which a Holders is entitled on exercise of a Right will be reconstructed as required by the ASX Listing Rules.

Appendix B – Performance Conditions (for vesting of Performance Rights)

If the Board determines the Performance Conditions are satisfied and gives notice in writing, the Rights will become vested and may be exercised on and from the date the holder of the Right receives such notice. On vesting and exercise of the Rights, new Shares may be issued or existing shares acquired on-market.

The Board has determined that the Rights to be granted to Mr English, Mr Phillips, Ms McCleary and Mr Rix (if approval is received) will vest and may become exercisable if the following Performance Conditions are satisfied:

  • 1) a service condition; and

  • 2) a share price performance condition.

Service condition

To satisfy the service condition, the Director must be employed by a member of Archer Exploration Group on the date of grant and must remain employed by a member of the Archer Exploration Group on the third anniversary of the date of the grant (or such other date as the Board determines at the time of grant). If the Director leaves the Company as a ‘good leaver’ before the end of the service condition period, then the Company’s policy will apply (see below).

Share price performance condition

The share price performance condition is the share price performance as compared to the ASX Small Ordinaries Resources Index (ASXR). The Company share price performance for each of the three years commencing 1 July 2016 to 30 June each year will be compared to ASX Small Ordinaries Resources Index (ASXR) movement for the same 12 months over the three year period. The level of performance required for each level of vesting and the percentage vesting associated with each level of performance are set out in the table below.

vesting associated with each level of performance are set out in the table below.
Archer Exploration Ranking versus ASX Small Ordinaries
Resources Index (ASXR)
% of Maximum Award
Below the 100th percentile 0% vest
Between the 100th and 125th percentile 50% vest
Between the 125th and 150th percentile 75% vest
At or above 150th percentile 100% vest

Page 14

==> picture [596 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

Explanatory Memorandum

In addition to each level of performance set out in the above table, the Board has decided that the share price performance condition will not be met if the Company’s share price at 30 June in a particular year is below the Company’s share price on 1 July of the preceding year.

No Rights will vest if the Company share price performance does not meet thresholds detailed above.

The number of Rights which may vest in any given year will be calculated as follows:

A = ( B ÷ 3)

Where:

A = number of Rights which will vest

B = Number of Rights granted

Example calculation

An example of the calculation of the Rights to be vested if the Performance Conditions are met is shown below:

If it is assumed that the Company’s VWAP over the five trading days up to 30 June 2017 was $0.12, Company share price on 1 July 2016 was $0.08 and ASX Small Ordinaries Resources Index (ASXR) increase for the 12 months ended 30 June 2017 was 10.0%, then the number of Rights which vest on or close to 1 July 2017 for the 2016/17 financial year would be 150,000 calculated as follows:

A = (C x D)

Where:

C = 150,000 Rights (being 1/3 of 450,000 rights granted)

D = 100% as VWAP exceeded ASX Small Ordinaries Resources Index (ASXR) by more than 150%

Therefore:

A = 150,000 x 100% = 150,000

The Board may round the number of Rights determined under the above formula up or down as appropriate.

The Rights lapse if and to the extent the Performance Conditions are not met prior to their expiry date. There is no re-testing.

Additional terms and conditions of the Rights are detailed in Appendix A and the Plan Rules.
