  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T

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 which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. RESOLUTIONS 1– 4 – ISSUE OF DIRECTOR SHARES AND RELATED PARTY OPTIONS

1.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to allot and issue:

  • (a) 11,435,832 Shares to Mr David Breeze ( Director Shares );

  • (b) 5,000,000 Options to Ms Deborah Ambrosini;

  • (c) 2,000,000 Options to Mr Bruce Whan; and

  • (d) 2,000,000 Options to Mr Goh Hock,

  • (together, the Related Party Options ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

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.

The grant of the Director Shares and Related Party Options to the parties listed above ( Related Parties ) requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Director Shares and Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit. As Directors, Mr David Breeze, Mr Bruce Whan and Mr Goh Hock are related parties of the Company and, as a person who was a Director of the Company in the past 6 months, Ms Deborah Ambrosini is also a related party of the Company.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The Directors consider that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 may not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Shares and Related Party Options to the Related Parties.

1.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Director Shares and Related Party Options:

  • (a) the related parties are Mr David Breeze, Ms Deborah Ambrosini, Mr Bruce Whan and Mr Goh Hock. Messrs Breeze, Whan and Hock are related parties by virtue of being Directors. Ms Ambrosini is a related party by virtue of having been a Director of the Company in the past 6 months;

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Shares and Related Party Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:

  • (i) 11,435,832 Director Shares to David Breeze

  • (ii) 5,000,000 Related Party Options to Deborah Ambrosini;

  • (iii) 2,000,000 Related Party Options to Bruce Whan; and

  • (iv) 2,000,000 Related Party Options to Goh Hock.

  • (c) The Director Shares and Related Party Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Options will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the deemed issue price of the Director Shares will be $0.003935 each (being the price at which Shares were recently issued to Shareholders under the Company’s Share Purchase Plan announced on 10 February 2015) and they will be issued in satisfaction of a portion of David Breeze’s accrued Director fees totalling $45,000 (leaving $502,279 in accrued Director fees still outstanding and payable to David Breeze);

  • (e) the Related Party Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (f) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (g) the value of the Related Party Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 2;

  • (h) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice of Meeting are set out below:

Related Party Shares Options
David Breeze 6,509,811 Nil
Deborah Ambrosini Nil Nil
Bruce Whan Nil Nil
Goh Hock 480,769 Nil

(i) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties for both the current financial year and previous financial year are set out below:

Related Party Current Financial Year Previous
Financial Year
David Breeze $148,000 per annum $148,000
Deborah
Ambrosini
$25,000 per annum $25,000
Bruce Whan $25,000 per annum Nil
Goh Hock $25,000 per annum $25,000

(j) if the Director Shares are issued, a total of 11,435,832 Shares would be issued. If the Related Party Options are exercised, a further 9,000,000 Shares in total would be allotted and issued (assuming no other Shares are issued to third parties and no Options currently on issue are exercised or cancelled). This will increase the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice from 224,330,895 to 244,766,727 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:

Related Issued Shares Shares to be Related Party Total Shares Dilutionary

date of this issued exercise of issue of
Notice of all Related Director
Meeting Party Options Shares and

TOTAL 6,990,580 11,435,832 9,000,000 27,426,412 8.35%

The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

(k) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:

Price Date
Highest $0.014 25 March 2014
Lowest $0.003 17 February 2015
Last $0.005 16 March 2015
  • (l) the Board acknowledges the grant of Director Shares and Related Party Options is contrary to Recommendation 8.3 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments (2nd Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of Director Shares and Related Party Options is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in paragraphs (n), (o), (p) and (q) below;

  • (m) the primary purpose of the grant of Director Shares and Related Party Options to the Related Parties is to provide cost effective consideration to the Related Parties for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in their respective roles and a performance linked incentive component in their remuneration packages to motivate and reward their performance in their respective roles. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Shares and Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (n) Mr David Breeze declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of that Resolution. However, in respect of Resolutions 2, 3 and 4, David Breeze recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of the Related Party Options to Deborah Ambrosini, Bruce Whan and Goh Hock will align their interests with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit 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; and

  • (iii) it is unlikely that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or opportunities foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (o) Mr Bruce Whan declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. However, in respect of Resolutions 1, 2 and 4, Bruce Whan recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of the Related Party Options to Deborah Ambrosini and Goh Hock will align their interests with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Director Shares and Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit 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; and

  • (iii) it is unlikely that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or opportunities foregone by the Company in

granting the Director Shares and the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed; and

  • (p) Mr Goh Hock declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. However, in respect of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3, Goh Hock recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of the Related Party Options to Deborah Ambrosini and Bruce Whan will align their interests with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Director Shares and Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit 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; and

  • (iii) it is unlikely that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or opportunities foregone by the Company in granting the Director Shares and the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (q) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each Related Party, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Related Party Options; and

  • (r) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 1 to 4.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Shares and Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Shares and Related Party Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. ( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  2. ( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

( Signing instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  • ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  • post to BPH Energy Ltd, 14 View Street, North Perth, Western Australia, 6006; or

  • facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9328 8733; or
