Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

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 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the LR 7.1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the LR 7.1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue.

The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

On 29 November 2019, Shareholders approved the Company having the additional capacity to issue Equity Securities in an amount up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company (at the time of the issue) calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A) those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1A.

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 7.1A. To this end, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the LR 7.1A Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the LR 7.1A Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue.

7. Resolution 5 - Participation in Placement by Adam Kiley

7.1 General

Refer to Section 3.1 for details of the Placement.

  • 15 -

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 for Director Mr Adam Kiley (and/or his nominee) to participate in the Placement to the extent of up to 200,000 Shares ( Kiley Placement Shares ).

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

7.2 Section 208 of Corporations Act

In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required as the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies. The Kiley Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Kiley on the same terms as non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit to Mr Kiley will be on arm's length terms.

7.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.2; or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders.

The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Mr Kiley is a related party of the Company as he is a Director. Therefore, the issue requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will issue the Kiley Placement Shares to Mr Kiley (and/or his nominee(s)) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the issue of the Kiley Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue. If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not issue the Kiley Placement Shares to Mr Kiley (and/or his nominee(s)).
