This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
The Directors recommend shareholders vote in favour of each resolution. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each resolution.
RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT
Background
On 24 March 2011 the Company announced that it would make a placement (Placement) of up to $25 million to institutional and professional investors. The Placement is to occur in two tranches, Tranche 1 and Tranche 2. This Resolution deals with Tranche 1 of the Placement. Resolution 2 deals with Tranche 2 of the Placement.
Subject to certain exceptions, none of which are relevant here, the Directors are restricted by Listing Rule 7.1 from issuing or agreeing to issue new securities in the Company in any 12 month period, which amount to more than 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities on issue without shareholder approval (15% limit).
Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold test set by Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such ratification is to restore a company’s maximum discretionary power to issue further securities up to the 15% Limit requiring shareholder approval. The Company confirms that the issue of shares the subject of Resolution 1 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to ratify this issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, 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.
