EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES
1.1 General
On 21 July 2020, the Company issued 52,500,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) to sophisticated, professional and other exempt investors at an issue price of $0.025 per Share to raise $1,312,500 ( Placement ), comprising:
-
(a) 31,500,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 1); and
-
(b) 21,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (the subject of Resolution 2), which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 29 November 2019.
The Company engaged the services of CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd (ACN 088 055 636) ( CPS ) provided lead manager services to the Company in relation to the Placement. In consideration for providing these services, the Company agreed to pay CPS a cash management fee comprising 1% of the total gross amount raised under the Placement and a placing fee equal to 5% of the total funds raised under the Placement.
As announced on 31 August 2020, the Company has entered into a twelve-month corporate advisory agreement with CPS to provide ongoing corporate advisory services to the Company.
1.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 29 November 2019.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
1.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and /or Listing Rule
8
7.1A and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares, which occurred on 21 July 2020.
1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the 31,500,000 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be excluded in calculating the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those Placement Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the 31,500,000 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be included in calculating the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those Placement Shares.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the 21,000,000 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A will be excluded in calculating the Company’s available additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those Placement Shares.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the 21,000,000 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A will be included in calculating the Company’s additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those Placement Shares.
1.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:
-
(a) the Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors were identified by CPS. None of the participants in the Placement are related parties of the Company, members of Key Management Personnel or advisers to, or substantial holders of, the Company who received 1% or more of the Company’s issued capital;
-
(b) 52,500,000 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:

-
(iv) general working capital;
-
(g) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement; and
-
(h) a voting exclusion statement is included in both Resolutions 1 and 2 of the Notice.
2. RESOLUTIONS 3, 4 AND 5 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MR DAVID WHEELER, MR SIMON COXHELL AND MR MATHEW WALKER
2.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 12,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to the Company’s Directors, being Mr David Wheeler, Mr Simon Coxhell and Mr Mathew Walker ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolutions 3 to 5 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties.
2.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
10
The issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
As the Related Party Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Related Party Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
2.3 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:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 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;
-
10.11.3 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;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 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,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Related Party Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 3 to 5 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 3 to 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 3 to 5 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options and will need to consider alternative structures to ensure that the Related Parties are properly incentivised.
11
2.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 to 5:
-
(a) the Related Party Options will be issued to the following persons:
-
(i) Mr David Wheeler pursuant to Resolution 3;
-
(ii) Mr Simon Coxhell pursuant to Resolution 4; and

(iii) Mr Mathew Walker pursuant to Resolution 5,
each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors;
-
(b) the maximum number of Related Party Options to be issued to the Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 12,000,000 comprising:

(f) the purpose of the issue of the Related Party Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way for the Company to remunerate the Related Parties, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties;
-
(g) the Related Party Options are quoted Options. The Company has agreed to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties subject to Shareholder approval for the following reasons:
12
-
(i) on the exercise of the Related Party Options, the Company will have effectively raised money at a price greater than the current quoted price of the Company’s Shares;
-
(ii) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Related Parties in respect of an issue of Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the Related Parties are not required to immediately sell the Related Party Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Options on the terms proposed;
-
(h) the number of Related Party Options to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:

The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

-
(n) The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether the Related Party Options are exercised.

3. RESOLUTION 6 – ISSUE OF BROKER OPTIONS TO CPS CAPITAL PTY LTD
3.1 General
As announced on 14 July 2020, the Company entered into a corporate advisory mandate with CPS to lead manage the July placement (which, as announced to ASX, was completed on 21 July 2020) and to provide ongoing corporate advisory services to the Company on an as required basis. The Company and CPS subsequently expanded the scope of services to be provided under the mandate to include the introduction of wholesale and institutional investor clients of CPS to the Company and the facilitation of acquisition opportunities that would be complementary to the Company’s existing asset portfolio.
In consideration for the provision of such services, the Company has agreed to issue 11,500,000 Options to CPS (or its nominees) ( Broker Options ).
As summarised in Section 1.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Broker Options does not fit within any of these exceptions. While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options. In addition, the issue of the Broker Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the issue of the Broker Options can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:
-
(a) the Broker Options will be issued to CPS (or its nominees), who are not related parties of the Company;
-
(b) the maximum number of Broker Options to be issued is 11,500,000. The terms and conditions of the Broker Options are set out in Schedule 1;
15
-
(c) the Broker Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Broker Options will occur on the same date;
-
(d) the Broker Options will be issued at a nominal issue price equal to $0.0001, in part consideration for service fees owed to CPS for ongoing corporate advisory services to the Company.
-
(e) the purpose of the issue of the Broker Options is to part compensate CPS for the services it has been engaged to provide to the Company;
-
(f) the Broker Options are being issued to CPS under a corporate advisory mandate between CPS and the Company, as announced to ASX on 14 July 2020, pursuant to which CPS agreed to lead manage the July placement (completed on 21 July 2020) and to provide ongoing corporate advisory services to the Company on an as required basis. As announced on 1 September 2020, the scope of services to be provided under the mandate has been expanded to include the introduction by CPS of wholesale and institutional investor clients to the Company and to introduce potential acquisitions which would be complementary to the Company’s existing asset portfolio. In consideration for these services, the Company has agreed to issue 11,500,000 Broker Options (the subject of this Resolution) to CPS. No other fees are payable in respect of these services.
-
(g) the Broker Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover; and
-
(h) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 6 of the Notice.
