EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of members of BLAZE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of Members to be held at the Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia, on Wednesday, 3 June 2015 2015 at 9:00 am (WST).

This Explanatory Statement forms part of, and should be read in conjunction with, the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.

Shareholders should note that all the Directors approved the proposal to put the resolution to shareholders as outlined in the Notice of General Meeting and to prepare this Explanatory Statement.

RESOLUTION 1 - CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL

1.1 Background

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to consolidate the number of Shares on issue on a 1 for 250 basis (Consolidation).

The purpose of the Consolidation is to implement a more appropriate capital structure for the Company.

1.2 Legal requirements

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.

The ASX Listing Rules also require that the number of Options on issue be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. The Company currently has no Options on issue.

1.3 Fractional entitlements

Not all security holders will hold that number of Shares which can be evenly divided by 250. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction down to the nearest whole security.

1.4 Taxation

It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for security holders arising from the Consolidation. However, security holders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and the Company, the Directors and their advisers do not accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.

1.5 Holding statements

From the date of the Consolidation all holding statements for previously quoted Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a post-Consolidation basis.

After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares proposed to be quoted to be issued to holders of those Shares.

It is the responsibility of each security holder to check the number of Shares held prior to disposal.

1.6 Effect on capital structure

The effect which the Consolidation will have on the capital structure of the Company is a reduction in the number of issued fully paid ordinary shares from 4,387,993,044 to 17,551,972.

1.7 Indicative timetable

If this Resolution is passed, the Consolidation of capital is proposed to take effect pursuant to the timetable below:

RESOLUTION 2 - CAPITAL RAISING

2.1 General

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company proposes under the Capital Raising to issue up to 10,000,000 Shares on a post-Consolidation basis.

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Subject to shareholder approval, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, the Company proposes to issue up to 10,000,000 Shares.

Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides, subject to certain exceptions, that shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company’s shares then on issue.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided to shareholders:

  • a) The maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to this resolution is 10,000,000.

  • b) The Shares will be issued and allotted no later than 3 months after the date of this meeting or such later date as approved by ASX by waiver to the Listing Rules.

  • c) For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3.7, the issue will occur progressively.

  • d) The Shares will be issued at a minimum issue price which is at least 80% of the average market price of Shares trading on ASX over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the day on which the issue was made (or if there is a prospectus or offer information statement relating to the issue, over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the date the prospectus or offer information statement is signed).

  • e) The proposed allottees are unknown at the date of the Notice of Meeting but will not be related parties of the Company and will be selected at the Directors discretion. The allottees will be professional and sophisticated investors who are, for example, clients of a brokerage firm to be engaged by the Company for the purposes of the placement.

  • f) The terms of the Shares will be the same as the existing ordinary fully paid Shares in the Company.

  • g) The purpose of the issue is for ongoing mineral exploration and additional working capital.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of both resolutions.
