5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% CAPACITY
5.1 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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
This Resolution seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit in issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
5.2 Information for Shareholders as required by Listing Rule 7.3A
- (i) Period for which approval is valid
An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on 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 Company's next annual general meeting.
-
(c) The time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.
-
(ii) Minimum price at which equity securities may be issued
Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity's equity securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or
-
(b) if the securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the securities are issued.
(iii) Purposes for which funds raised may be used
Equity securities can only be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A for a cash consideration. Funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used for the continued development of the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or other investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), and for general working capital.
- (iv) Risk of economic and voting dilution
Aruma Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
7
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.
There is a risk that:
-
(a) the market price for the equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for variable "A" in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2. This includes one example that assumes that "A" is double the number of Shares on issue at the time of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and that the price of Shares has fallen by 50%.
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable "A" in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) |
Number of Shares issued under additional 10% capacity |
Dilution | Dilution | Dilution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Funds raised based on issue price of 2.8 cents |
Funds raised based on issue price of 5.6 cents |
Funds raised based on issue price of 11.2 cents |

15,696,150 | $439,492 | $878,984 | $1,757,969 |
| 235,442,254 (50% increase) |
23,544,225 | $659,238 | $1,318,477 | $2,636,953 |
| 313,923,006 (100% increase) |
31,392,300 | $878,984 | $1,757,969 | $3,515,938 |
*The number of Shares on issue (variable "A" in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 26 September 2022.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 26 September 2022.
-
The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the additional 10% capacity.
-
No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the equity securities.
-
(v) Allocation Policy
The Company's allocation policy for the issue of equity securities under the additional 10% capacity will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
(c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(d) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the additional 10% 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

8
related parties or associates of a related party of the Company and may include new investors who have not previously been Shareholders.
(vi) Equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the previous 12 months
The Company has issued or agreed to issue a total of 12,500,000 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding this Meeting and this represents 8.5% of the total number of equity securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6, details of the issues of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12-month period preceding this Meeting are:
| Date of Issue | Names of persons issued equity securities or basis of identification |
Number and class of equity securities issued |
Price at which equity securities issued and any discount to closing market price on date of issue |
Total cash consideration received and what cash has been spent and what it has been spent on and intended use of remaining cash |

$1,250,000 was received and $75,000 has been spent on the costs of the issue. The balance will be used to fund drilling and exploration of the Company's lithium and gold tenement package, and for general working capital. |
(vii) Voting Exclusion Statement
As at the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the equity securities.

Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chairman) or other member of the Company’s key management personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolution 1, by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolution 1.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chairman may vote as they see fit on that resolution.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
-
(a) on each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
-
(b) return both forms together.
