RESOLUTION 1 - REMUNERATION REPORT
Remuneration Report
In accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act, the Board has submitted its Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non-binding advisory resolution.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report section of the Annual Report for the period ending 31 December 2014. The Report:
-
explains the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of executive Directors and senior executives of the Company;

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.
The “Two Strikes Rule”
The Corporations Act requires that listed companies must put their remuneration report to a non-binding advisory shareholder vote at the AGM ( Remuneration Report Resolution ). The “Two Strikes Rule” was introduced by the Corporations Legislation (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 and commenced on 1 July 2011. Under the “Two Strikes Rule” if the Remuneration Report Resolution receives a “no” vote of 25% or more (a Strike ) at two consecutive AGMs, a resolution to spill the board and hold Director re-elections, in accordance with Part 2G.2, Division 9 of the Corporations Act ( Spill Resolution ) must be put to Shareholders.
Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report. A vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company, except in relation to the “Two Strikes Rule”.
Voting restrictions on Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties and their proxies
Members of the Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) and their Closely Related Parties ( CRP ) ( Restricted Voters ) and proxies of Restricted Voters are restricted from voting on a resolution which is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel ( Voting Restriction ).
Key Management Personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity.
3
The Voting Restriction applies to Resolution 1. However, it does not apply where:
-
(a) the member of the Key Management Personnel is appointed in writing (by a Shareholder who is not a Restricted Voter) as a proxy where the appointment specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; or
-
(b) the Chairperson is appointed in writing (by a Shareholder who is not a Restricted Voter) as a proxy where the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution and expressly authorises the Chairperson to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chairperson will be cast by the Chairperson and counted in favour of the resolutions the subject of this Meeting (including Resolutions 1 and 3) subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.
The Proxy Form attached to this Notice has been prepared on this basis.

RESOLUTION 4 - APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
Overview
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 AGM ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see below).
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 4.
Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an AGM.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two (2) classes of Equity Securities, being Shares and unlisted performance shares.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an AGM may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the AGM, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
‘A’ is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(i) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(ii) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid Shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
-
(iii) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.
‘ D’ is 10%;
‘ E ’ is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
5
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity 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 473,027,475 Shares. The Company therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 70,954,121 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 47,302,748 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section (c) above).
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated 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.
-
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of the 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 (disposal of main undertaking),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).
Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore 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).
1. 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 Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP 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.
6
-
(b) If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. 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 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 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 shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
The table shows:
-
(iii) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares 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 Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(iv) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
Table 1: ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Disclosure

|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.01 50% decrease in Issue Price |

47,302,748 | ||
| Funds raised | $473,027 | $946,055 | $1,892,110 | |
| 50% increase in current Variable A 709,541,213 Shares |
10% voting **dilution ** |
70,954,121 | ||
| Funds raised | $709,541 | $1,419,082 | $2,838,165 | |
| 100% increase in current Variable A 946,054,950 Shares |
10% voting **dilution ** |
94,605,495 | ||
| Funds raised | $946,055 | $1,892,110 | $3,784,220 |
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) No Equity Securities are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(ii) 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%.
-
(iii) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(iv) The issue price is $0.02, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 17 April 2015.
7
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) for cash consideration, in which case the Company may use the funds raised towards making (or to securing the right to make) one or more acquisitions and/or to further its existing projects; and/or general working capital; or
-
(ii) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of (or securing the right to make acquisitions of) new projects and investments or to further its existing projects. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. 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:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issues of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility 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.
- (e) The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an Associate of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.
-
(f) The Company has not previously obtained 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 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. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
