1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES
- 1.1 Background
On 1 March 2024, the Company announced it had entered into a Convertible Note Terms Sheet with Fenix Resources Ltd (ASX:FEX) ( Fenix Resources ) under which Fenix Resources conditionally agreed to provide $1.0 million in funds to the Company in consideration for the issue of 100 convertible notes with the following key terms ( Convertible Notes ):
-
face value of $10,000 each;
-
repayable, to the extent not converted into Shares, on 7 April 2025 ( Maturity Date ), with the Company entitled to repay early in whole or part provided at least $100,000 is repaid at any one time;
-
8% pa interest on the outstanding face value payable on the Maturity Date unless repaid earlier or converted into Shares; and
-
at the election of Fenix Resources no earlier than 30 September 2024, and subject to compliance with applicable law and the ASX Listing Rules, convertible (with accrued and unpaid interest) into Shares at $0.002 per Share.
Tranche 1 of the Convertible Notes, being 32 Convertible Notes, were issued to Fenix Resources on 7 March 2024 in return for $320,000 in funds being provided to the Company.
If fully converted into Shares, a total of 160,000,000 Shares will be issued, being a 13.0% shareholding based on Shares currently on issue (plus any Shares issued for conversion of accrued interest).
Tranche 2 of the Convertible Notes, being 68 Convertible Notes, are to be issued conditional on Shareholder approval being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, provided that if such approval is not obtained by 28 May 2024, Fenix Resources will have no obligation to subscribe for or right to be issued the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes.
If the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes are approved by Shareholders and issued and subsequently fully converted into Shares, a total of 340,000,000 Shares will be issued, taking the total number of Shares issued to Fenix Resources to 500,000,000, a 31.8% shareholding based on Shares currently on issue (plus any Shares issued for conversion of accrued interest).
Under the takeover provisions of the Corporations Act, Fenix Resources cannot, unless an exception applies, acquire more than a 20% shareholding unless it makes a takeover offer for all the Company’s Shares. This prohibition will prevent Fenix Resources acquiring more than a 20% shareholding through conversion of the Convertible Notes unless an exception applies.
One exception is that shareholders can approve the increase of Fenix Resources’ shareholding above 20% under section 611 item 7 of the Corporations Act. The Convertible Note Terms Sheet provides that, to the extent that the issue of any Shares on conversion of any Convertible Notes would cause a contravention of the takeover provisions of section 606 of the Corporations Act:
Page 5 of 12
-
the Company must instead, within 90 days of the date of the relevant conversion notice prepare and despatch a notice of meeting (including an independent expert’s report on whether the acquisition of more than a 20% shareholding by Fenix Resources is fair and reasonable to other shareholders) convening a Company shareholder meeting to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the issue of Shares upon the conversion of the relevant Convertible Notes for the purpose of item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, and for all other purposes; and
-
if Shareholder approval is not granted at the meeting, the issue of the relevant Shares will not proceed and the Company shall immediately repay to Fenix Resources the outstanding balance of the relevant Convertible Notes.
Resolution 1 seeks approval to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
- 1.2
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may, without shareholder approval, issue or agree to issue that number of Equity Securities that total up to 15% of the number of fully paid, ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the issue or agreement to issue plus the number of fully paid, ordinary securities issued by the company in that 12 month period with shareholder approval or under an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company used its capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the 32 Tranche 1 Convertible Notes.
The Company wishes 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. To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the 32 Tranche 1 Convertible Notes for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
- 1.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the 32 Tranche 1 Convertible Notes will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the 32 Tranche 1 Convertible Notes, and the Shares into which they can be converted (being a total of 160,000,000 Shares), will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 until 12 months after the date the Company agreed to issue those Convertible Notes, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue under its 15% placement capacity.
-
1.4
-

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE CONVERTIBLE NOTES
2.1 Background
As discussed in Section 1.1 above, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 68 Tranche 2 Convertible Notes.
- 2.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Section 1.2 above summarises ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The proposed issue of 68 Tranche 2 Convertible Notes to Fenix Resources (which can be converted into 340,000,000 Shares subject to any takeover limitations) does not fit within any of the exceptions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and will exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, it requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the 68 Tranche 2 Convertible Notes.

Proxy Notes:
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting may appoint a natural person as the Shareholder’s proxy to attend and vote for the Shareholder at that Meeting. If the Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting the Shareholder may appoint not more than 2 proxies. Where the Shareholder appoints more than one proxy the Shareholder may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise. If such proportion or number of votes is not specified each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder’s votes. A proxy may, but need not be, a Shareholder of the Company.
