Athena Resources I Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
2. Listing Rule Requirements
2.1 Resolutions 1 and 2
Listing Rule 7.1 relevantly provides that the prior approval of the shareholders of Athena is required to an issue of equity securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by Athena during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The issue and allotment of shares outlined in Resolution 1 does not exceed the 15% limit, however, Listing Rule 7.4 provides that, where a company in general meeting ratifies an issue of equity securities the issue will be treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, thereby enabling the Company to issue further equity securities without exceeding the 15% in 12 months limitation.
Shareholder approval is sought so as to refresh Athena’s 15% equity security placement limit pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The number of securities proposed to be issued by Athena pursuant to Resolution 2, when aggregated with the securities issued and for which ratification is sought under Resolution 1, will exceed 15% and accordingly Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of these Shares.
The information required by Listing Rules 7.3 and 7.5 to be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2 is contained within this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of General Meeting.
2.2 Resolution 3
Listing Rule 11.2 provides that where a company proposes to make a significant change in the nature or scale of its activities which involves the disposal of its main undertaking, it must first obtain the prior approval of its shareholders.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the potential disposal of the Company’s main undertaking, the Byro Project. Even if Shareholder approval is obtained, there is no certainty that the Byro Project will be disposed of, as the Binding Term Sheet grants Brilliant Glory a conditional right, but not an obligation, to acquire the asset.
The Information required by ASX Guidance Note 12 “Significant Changes to Activities” to be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 is contained within this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice of General Meeting.
Shareholders should be aware that following the proposed disposal of the Company’s main undertaking, ASX may require the Company to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 11.1.2 and/or recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules pursuant to Listing Rule 11.1.3 with respect to any future transaction the Company may enter into.
A disposal by a listed entity of its main undertaking can also raise issues under Listing Rule 12.1 and 12.2, which oblige a listed entity to satisfy ASX on an ongoing basis that the level of its operations is sufficient, and its financial condition adequate, to warrant its continued quotation of its securities.
3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of Tranche 1 Placement to Brilliant Glory
The Company announced to ASX on 12 January 2016 that it had completed the Tranche 1 Placement to Brilliant Glory.
Resolution 1 has been included in the Notice of General Meeting so that Shareholders may approve and ratify pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 the Tranche 1 Placement in order to allow the Company to have the right to place up to a further 15% of its issued capital at any time during the next 12 months.
In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, Shareholders are advised of the following particulars in relation to the Tranche 1 Placement:
-
Ratification is sought for a total of 15,000,000 Shares.
-
The Shares were allotted at $0.02 each.
-
The Shares rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue.
-
The Shares were issued to Brilliant Glory.
-
The Company intends to use the funds raised to progress work on the Byro Project and for working capital purposes.
At present, upon completion of the Tranche 1 Placement, Brilliant Glory holds 7.95% of the Company’s Shares.

4. Resolution 2 – Proposed Tranche 2 Placement to Brilliant Glory
The proposed Tranche 2 Placement to Brilliant Glory the subject of Resolution 2 is put to Shareholders as part of this Notice of General Meeting pursuant to the Binding Term Sheet, being a part of the overall transaction with Brilliant Glory.
In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, Shareholders are advised of the following particulars in relation to the proposed Tranche 2 Placement:
-
Maximum number of Shares to be issued: 28,000,000
-
Date by which Athena will issue the Shares: no later than three months after the date of the Meeting.
-
Price at which the Shares will be issued: $0.025 each.
-
Name of the allottee: Brilliant Glory Industrial Corporation Limited (see Schedule 1 for the company’s Hong Kong registration number and address). Brilliant Glory is not a related party of the Company.
-
Terms of Shares to be issued: the Shares rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue.
-
Intended use of funds raised: the Company intends to use the funds raised to progress work on the Byro Project and for working capital purposes.
-
Dates of allotment: upon receipt of cleared funds subsequent to Shareholder approval of Resolution 2.
Upon completion of both the Tranche 1 Placement and the Tranche 2 Placement, Brilliant Glory will hold 19.84% of the Company’s Shares (based upon the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice and assuming no further Shares are issued).
5. Resolution 3 – Potential Disposal of Main Undertaking to Brilliant Glory
5.1 Reasons for Disposal
The Directors believe that following an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages disclosed below, the disposal of the Byro Project is in the best interests of the Company:
Advantages:
The Directors believe that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on Resolution 3:
-
The disposal allows the Company to reduce costs (both direct tenement costs and corporate overheads) and provides otherwise unavailable capital to enable the Company to consider alternative asset acquisitions that the Directors believe will add value to Shareholders;
-
The consideration from the disposal will provide capital to the Company which will be used to source new mineral exploration opportunities including conducting due diligence and funding any re-compliance costs;
-
The disposal will provide capital to the Company with no dilutionary impact on Shareholders, in a current market environment where it is difficult to secure capital; and
-
The Company will receive an ongoing royalty of $2/tonne from any production from the Byro Project, and will not be required to make any capital contribution to its development.
Disadvantages:
The Directors believe that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on the proposed disposal:
-
The Company will not be able to participate in or derive any future potential benefit from the development of the Byro Project, other than the $2/tonne royalty;
-
The disposal involves the Company selling its principal asset, which may not be consistent with the investment objectives of all Shareholders; and
-
There may be significant re-compliance costs associated with the acquisition of new mineral exploration assets (see Section 2.2 above).
6 Athena Resources I Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
5.2 Key Terms
A summary of the key terms of the Binding Term Sheet are set out in Section 1 above.
5.3 Future Activities and Direction on Completion of the Disposal
It should be noted again that, even if Shareholders approve Resolution 3, there is no certainty that Brilliant Glory will acquire the Byro Project as the Binding Term Sheet grants them a conditional right, but not an obligation, to acquire the asset. However, in the event that the Company does dispose of the asset to Brilliant Glory then, the assets of the Company will be (assuming no material change between the date of this Notice and the date of disposal):
-
Gross proceeds from the sale of the Byro Project of $20 million; and
-
Plant and equipment with an immaterial written down book value.
After and in the event of completion of the disposal, the Company currently proposes that it will:
-
Return all other proceeds from the disposal to Shareholders (after costs and any applicable taxation) by way of either dividends, capital return, share buy-back or other available means; and
-
Retain approximately $2 million and continue as a mineral exploration company, which will involve making application for additional tenements
Based on the above, upon completion of the disposal, the Company envisages that the composition of the Board and its senior management will not change.
5.4 Financial Effect of the Disposal on the Company
In the event the Company disposes of the Byro Project, the financial effect on the Company will be to increase the gross cash position by $20 million (subject to any costs and applicable taxation) and to reduce carried forward exploration expenditure by approximately $6.5 million.
There will be no impact on the capital structure of the Company, unless the return of funds to Shareholders occurs by way of share buy-back.
