Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum is for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of BlackWall Limited to be held at WOTSO Pyrmont, Level 3, 55 Pyrmont Bridge Road, Pyrmont, NSW 2009 on Friday, 13 November 2020 at 11:00am (Sydney time).
The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. If in any doubt about how you should vote, consult your financial or other professional adviser. The following information should be noted in respect of the various matters contained in the accompanying Notice.
Item 1 - Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act requires the following reports in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2020 to be laid before the Meeting:
-
Financial Report (which includes financial statements and Directors’ declaration);
-
Directors’ Report (which includes the Remuneration Report); and
-
Auditor’s Report.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports, and on the business, operations and management of BlackWall.
There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or the Constitution for Shareholders to approve the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report (other than the Remuneration Report) or the Auditor’s Report.
Resolution 1 - Remuneration Report (Non-Binding)
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a listed company to put to its shareholders at each annual general meeting a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted. The report on the remuneration of the Company’s key management personnel is included in the Company’s Annual Report. The resolution is being proposed to comply with this requirement.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting. Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that the vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, if a company’s remuneration report receives an ‘against’ vote of 25 per cent or more at 2 consecutive annual general meetings, a resolution must be put at the later annual general meeting that another meeting be held (within 90 days) at which all directors (other than managing directors) who were in office at the date of that resolution must stand for re-election. So, in summary, Shareholders will be entitled to vote in favour of holding a general meeting to re-elect the Board if the Remuneration Report receives “2 strikes”.
Resolution 2 - Re-election of Robin Tedder
Robin has around 40 years’ experience in investment and financial markets. He has been an investor in the Company’s projects since 1997. Robin is the Chairman of Vintage Capital Pty Ltd, an investment company with interests in property, wealth management, logistics and healthcare. He is a former member of the ASX and has served on the boards of several investment banks in Australia and overseas. Robin is also a fellow of the Financial Services Institute of Australasia.
Board Recommendation: The non-retiring Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
8
Resolution 3 - Approval of Additional 10% Placement capacity
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to seek the approval of holders of its ordinary securities by special resolution at its annual general meeting to issue ordinary securities up to 10% of its issued capital through placements over a 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity without member approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
An “eligible entity” for the purposes of ASX 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. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, BlackWall Limited is an eligible entity.
-
(i) Minimum price : The minimum price at which the Shares may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Shares, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price of the Shares are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the Shares are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of that date, the date on which the Shares are issued.
-
(ii) Risk of dilution: Economic and voting dilution risk to existing shareholders may result from an issue of securities under the 10% Placement Capacity including the risk that:
-
the market price for equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.
The table below illustrates the impact of dilution in various scenarios.
| Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|
| Number of shares on issue (variable ‘A’ in formula) |
Dilution Variable |
$0.24 (50% decrease in market price) $0.475 (Market price on 05/10/20) $0.95 (100% increase in market price) |
| 63,141,445 (Current) |
Additional 10% shares issued |
6,314,145 6,314,145 6,314,145 |
| Funds raised | $1,515,395 $2,999,219 $5,998,438 |
|
| 94,712,168 (50% increase) |
Additional 10% shares issued |
9,471,217 9,471,217 9,471,217 |
| Funds raised | $2,273,092 $4,498,828 $8,997,656 |
|
| 126,282,890 (100% increase) |
Additional 10% shares issued |
12,628,289 12,628,289 12,628,289 |
| Funds raised | $3,030,789 $5,998,437 $11,996,875 |
- The number of Shares on issue (variable ‘A’ in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that does not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro rata entitlement issue) or an issue of Shares with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
The current number of shares on issue is the Shares on issue as at 5 October 2020.
-
The current issue price is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 5 October 2020.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or under an exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2.
9
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own Shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
• The ‘Funds raised’ figures are rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
-
(iii) Date of issue: The Shares may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of this Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) or such longer period if allowed by ASX.
-
-
(iv) Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Capacity: The Company may issue Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity for various purposes, including the following:
-
to raise cash as consideration for the acquisition of or investment in additional assets (including associated expenses, or additional projects that may present); or
-
as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments, and in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
-
-
(v) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity: The allottees of the Shares to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of the Shares could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both). The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
the purpose of the issue;
-
alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the Shares on the control of the Company;
-
the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position of the Company;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
-
-
(vi) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A: BlackWall Limited previously obtained Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its last Annual General Meeting held on 15 November 2019. The following information is provided for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6:
-
Total number of securities issued since 15 November 2019: 26,000 shares (0.04% of shares on issue as at 15 November 2019)
-
Details of issues of equity securities by the Company since 15 November 2019:
- i. 13 December 2019: 26,000 ordinary fully-paid shares (subject to restrictions on transfer) issued to employees under an employee share plan for nil consideration.
-
-
(vii) Voting exclusion: A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution 3 and is set out in the Notice of Meeting. At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in the issue of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholder’s vote will be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice of Meeting.
Board Recommendation: The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
