4. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Yongji Duan as a Director

4.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that, a listed entity must hold an election at each Annual General Meeting and as such it has been determined that Mr Duan will retire and seek re-election at this Meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Mr Yongji Duan, who has served as a Director since 4 November 2011 and was last re-elected on 16 November 2020, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

4.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Duan joined Stone Group in 1985 and has served as Vice President and President prior to his promotion to Chairman of the Board in 1999. He was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Stone Group Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries in 2002.

5. Resolution 3 – Ratification of prior Issue of Options to CGF

5.1 Background

On 29 December 2020, the Company issued 12,000,000 CGF Options in three equal tranches, exercisable at $0.06, $0.08, and $0.10 per CGF Option respectively, expiring on 31 December 2023 to Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ( CGF ). The CGF Options were issued using the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • 10 -

Explanatory Memorandum

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the CGF Options pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.

Resolution 3 is an Ordinary Resolution. The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

5.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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 period.

The issue of the CGF Options 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 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date.

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 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 Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the CGF Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the CGF Options will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue of the Options will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

5.3 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 Resolution 3:

  • (a) the CGF Options were issued to CGF in consideration for corporate and fundraising services provided to the Company pursuant to a corporate advisory agreement between the Company and CGF dated 1 September 2020 ( CGF Mandate ). CGF is not a related party of the Company.

  • (b) a total of 12,000,000 CGF Options were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;

6. Resolution 4 – Ratification of prior Issue of Options to PCF Capital Group

6.1 Background

On 22 June 2021, the Company issued 5,000,000 unlisted PCF Options exercisable at $0.045 per PCF Option, expiring on 22 June 2024 to PCF. The PCF Options were issued using the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the PCF Options pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.

Resolution 4 is an Ordinary Resolution. The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

6.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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 period.

The issue of the PCF Options 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 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date.

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 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 Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the PCF Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the issue of the PCF Options will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of the PCF Options will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

The Placement was completed on 8 October 2021.

8.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is provided above at paragraph 6 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities comprising up to 10% of its issued capital (in addition to the placement capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1). The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 16 November 2020. The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's placement capacity under each of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.

Ratification by the Shareholders of the Company of the Shares is now sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 in order to reinstate the Company’s capacity to issue up to 15% of its issued capital under Listing Rule 7.1, if required, in the next 12 months without Shareholder approval, to the extent of the Shares.

The effect of this Resolution 6(a) Error! Reference source not found. is that the Company, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 will be able to refresh its 15% placement capacity with effect from the date of the Meeting, to the extent of the Shares that have been issued under the Placement.

If Resolution 6(a) is passed, the Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 6(a) is not passed, the Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 6(b) is passed, the Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 6(b) is not passed, the Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

Explanatory Memorandum

the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without any further Shareholder’s approval will be decreased from a combined limit of 25% to 15%.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 111.

12.2 Applicable Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000,

( Eligible Entity ).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

12.3 Information on Additional Placement Capacity

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has on issue 526,688,455 Shares and the last recorded closing price of the Shares on 21 October 2021 was $0.049. The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $25,807,734.

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being Shares (ASX: BTR).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

Additional Placement Capacity = (A x D) – E

where:

A = the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the issue date or date of agreement to issue:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.

  • D = 10%

E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under rule 7.4..

12.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 11:

  • (a) Period of approval validity

Shareholder approval of the 10% Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier of:

  • (1) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (2) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale or activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) ( 10% Placement Period ).

  • (b)

  • Minimum issue price

The issue price of any Equity Security under the Additional Placement Capacity will not be less than 75% of the VWAP for securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (1) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • 22 -

Explanatory Memorandum

  • (2) if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date above, the date on which the securities are issued.

  • (c) Purposes of funds

Any funds raised from an issue of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A would be used to progress the Company’s three-year plan including resources expansion and Brightstar plant refurbishment.

  • (d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

If Resolution 111 is passed and the Company issues securities under the Additional Placement Capacity, then there is a risk to existing Shareholders of economic and voting dilution, including the risk that:

  • (1) the market price for Shares in the same class may be significantly lower on the issue date of the new Shares than on the date of this Meeting; and

  • (2) 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.

If Resolution 11 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of the Shares and the number of Shares on issued as at 21 October 2021.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue ( Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
