EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Future Fibre Technologies Limited ( Company ) to be held at 11:00am (AEST) on 10 May 2018 at Pullman on the Park, 192 Wellington Pde, East Melbourne VIC 3002. This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to, and the legal and other implications of, the Notice and the reasons for the proposed resolutions. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.
Resolution 1: Change of Company Name
As a direct result of the Company having acquired 86.81% of the issued capital of Maxsec Group Limited ( MaxSec ), and the resultant integration process, the Company is now undertaking a re-branding process. In conjunction with this process, it is proposed that the name of the Company be changed from ‘Future Fibre Technologies Limited’ to ‘Ava Risk Group Limited’, with effect from the time that ASIC records the change of name on its records.
The Company may also consider a change to its ASX Ticker Code and this will be the subject of separate communication to shareholders.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2: Issue of options to Robert Broomfield (Executive Director)
Subject to the approval of Shareholders, the Company proposes to issue 250,000 options to Mr Robert Broomfield, Executive Director. The options are proposed to be issued pursuant to an option exchange deed executed by Mr Broomfield, Maxsec and the Company in conjunction with the Company’s off market takeover bid of all of the shares in MaxSec (as announced to the ASX on 25 August 2018).
The terms of the option exchange deed provide for:
-
(a) Issue of the options in the Company to the optionholder subject to the Company receiving shareholder approval at this Meeting; and
-
(b) Cancellation of the options by Maxsec.
The options are calculated on a 1:4 basis in alignment with the terms of the off tarket takeover bid. Mr Broomfield is the holder of 1,000,000 options in Maxsec and is therefore entitled to 250,000 options in the Company.
Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party.
Furthermore, shareholder approval of the issue of securities under Listing Rule 10.11 to Director, Mr Broomfield, means the issue of securities to him will not reduce the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Directors consider that the issue and allotment of securities to Mr Broomfield will be on arms’ length terms as the allotment and issue of options to him will be made on the same terms to all other parties who exchanged their options in MaxSec for options in the Company as part of the off market takeover bid. Accordingly, the proposed issue and allotment of securities falls within the ‘arms length terms’ exemption provided by section 210 of the Corporations Act to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of securities that are subject to Resolution 2:
-
(a) the maximum number of options to be issued to Mr Robert Broomfield is 250,000;
-
(b) each option is to acquire one fully paid ordinary Share;
-
(c) the options are issued for nil consideration;
-
(d) the exercise price of the options is $0.10 per option;
4
-
(e) options issued will expire 19 May 2020;
-
(f) the options are not transferable without the prior consent of the Board of Directors of the Company; and
-
(g) the Board may determine how the options are dealt with upon a change in control, including allowing for the accelerated vesting of the options.
-
(h) the shares the subject to resolution 2 will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated that allotment will occur within five Business Days of the Meeting; and
-
(i) the funds raised from the exercise of the options that are subject to resolution 2 will be used for general working capital purposes.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors (excluding Mr Robert Broomfield) unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
