Resolution 3 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity

Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which a resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by special resolution ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An entity will be eligible to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A if:

  • (a) the entity has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on deferred settlement basis); and

  • (b) the entity is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index.

The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A.

The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The Company is putting Resolution 3 to Shareholders to seek approval to issue additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. It is anticipated that funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be applied towards general working capital.

Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to permit the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice the Company has two classes of quoted securities on issue: Shares (ASX: ACP) and Listed Options (ACP: ACPO).

Based on the number of shares on issue at the date of this Notice, the Company will have 80,160,001 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3, 8,016,000 Equity Securities will be permitted to be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. The table below demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution, requiring 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) in order to be passed.

Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information in relation to the Shares to be issued is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • i. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • ii. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 6 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is also 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 meeting; 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,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

==> picture [77 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders of the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity using variables for the number of ordinary securities for variable “A” (as defined in Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is noted that the variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities.

The table shows:

  • i. examples where variable “A” is at its current level and where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%;

  • ii. examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market price as at close of trade on 8 October 2012, being $0.16, ( current market price ), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and

  • iii. the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are issued.

Note this table assumes:

  • i. No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • ii. The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.

  • (c) Approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:

  • i. the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • ii. the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to that nature of scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( Additional Placement Period ).

  • (d)

  • The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • i. cash consideration. If Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions), continued exploration of the Company’s Gascoyne, Medcalf and Lake Johnston Projects and for general working capital purposes.

  • ii. non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments in the resource sector. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will comply with Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will release the valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (e) The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined having regard to the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed issue.

6

==> picture [77 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

The identity of the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-bycase basis having regard to factors which may include the following:

  • i. the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including the time and market exposure associated with various methods of raising capital applicable at the time of raising;

  • ii. the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of proposed issue of Equity Securities;

  • iii. the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • iv. advice from professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The Company notes that:

  • i. any funds raised from the issue of Shares under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are likely to be applied towards continued exploration of the Company’s Gascoyne, Medcalf and Lake Johnston Projects and for general working capital purposes;

  • ii. it is not possible to determine whether any existing Shareholders, or class of Shareholders, would be invited to apply for any Shares to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, or to determine the category of any new investors that may be invited to participate in such a fundraising;

  • iii. prior to undertaking any fundraising, the Board will have regard to whether it is in the Company’s best interests to structure such a fundraising as an entitlements issue to all of the Company’s existing Shareholders at that time; and

  • iv. the reasons for undertaking any particular issue under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be announced at the time the Company sought to issue shares under that Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

As at the date of this Notice, the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined. They may, however, include substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of related parties of the Company.

Furthermore, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be the vendors of the new resource assets or investment.

  • (f) The Company has not previously obtained shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not determined its allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. The Company has not, and has not yet determined to approach, any particular existing security holders or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in an offer under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, and therefore no Shareholder will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.

The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
