EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
THIS EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM SHOULD BE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY. IF SHAREHOLDERS ARE IN DOUBT AS TO HOW THEY SHOULD VOTE, THEY SHOULD SEEK ADVICE FROM THEIR ACCOUNTANT, SOLICITOR OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVISER PRIOR TO VOTING.
This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting to which this Explanatory Memorandum is attached and forms part of.
Terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Schedule 1 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF MR STUART RICHARDSON AS A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY
1.1 Background
Under clause 20.1(c) of the Company's Constitution, the Board appointed Mr Stuart Richardson as a director of the Company on 27 June 2018 as an addition to the Board. Mr Stuart Richardson retires as a Director at the end of the forthcoming Meeting, and being eligible, offers himself for election as a Director of the Company.
Mr Richardson has extensive experience over 35 years in capital markets both in Australia and overseas in the field of investment banking and stockbroking. He is a founding director of Blackwood Capital Limited an Australian based investment bank operating in capital markets, advisory and funds management in equities and private equity.
He holds a Bachelor of Business from Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne Australia and is a CPA. Mr Richardson is currently a non-executive director of Abundant Produce Limited (ABT) and XTD Limited (XTD).
1.2 Recommendation
The directors (other than Mr Richardson because of his interest in this Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote available proxies in favour of this Resolution.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF 11,764,706 SHARES
2.1 Introduction
On 17 April 2018, the Company completed a private placement of 11,764,706 Shares at an issue price of $0.17 per Share raising $2.0 million (Placement).
The Company now seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of Shares under the Placement (Placement Shares) so as to refresh the Company’s 15% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Extra Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (see below for details).
2.2 ASX Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an entity must not, without Shareholder approval (subject to specific exemptions), issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than the amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period (15% Capacity).
5
Listing Rule 7.4 allows Shareholders to subsequently approve an allotment of securities that were issued without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, resulting in those securities then being retrospectively treated as having been issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of this rule is to “refresh” the 15% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.1A permits an eligible entity to increase the 15% Capacity in any 12 month period by an extra 10% (10% Extra Capacity) by obtaining Shareholder approval (passed as a special resolution) at its annual general meeting. The Company obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2017.
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 allows shareholders to subsequently approve (in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4) an allotment of securities that were issued without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, resulting in those securities then being retrospectively treated as having been issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of this rule is to “refresh” the 10% Extra Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company completed the Placement utilising its 15% Capacity to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and its 10% Extra Capacity to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. While the approval of Resolution 2 will have no effect on the issue of the Placement Shares, if Shareholders approve Resolution 2, it will give the Company greater flexibility to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.
2.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the Company provides the following information to Shareholders:
-
(a) The number of securities issued was 11,764,706 Shares.
-
(b) The Placement Shares were issued at a price of A$0.17 each.
-
(c) The Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors (as those terms are defined in Section 708 of the Corporations Act), together with other investors identified by the Company or its Broker (Blackwood Capital) to whom disclosure was not required under Section 708(1) of the Corporations Act.
No Placement Shares were issued to Directors or related parties of the Company.
-
(d) The funds raised under the Placement are proposed to be used to provide working capital to help meet the surge in demand for Fertoz products in North America. The Company will also deploy funds raised to pursue opportunities Fertoz has identified to enhance its logistics capability, with scope to boost Shareholder value through joint ventures and/or wholly owned vertical integration.
-
(e) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 2 is included in the Notice of Meeting accompanying this Explanatory Memorandum.
2.4 Directors' recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
6
3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF 6,000,000 SHARES TO MR PATRICK AVERY
3.1 Background
The Company proposes to issue 6,000,000 Shares with performance based vesting hurdles to Mr Patrick Avery and/or his nominee on the terms and conditions set out below. The issuance of shares to executives as a form of incentive-based remuneration is common practice in listed companies and further encourages and rewards efforts by directors to improve the performance of their company for the commercial benefit of all shareholders .
The Board believes it is important to offer these Shares to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members and executives in a competitive market (in a way that allows the Company to utilise its available cash for other preferred purposes).
3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a ‘financial benefit’ to a ‘related party’ unless one of the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act apply, or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to that related party. The issue of Shares to Mr Patrick Avery (or his nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Patrick Avery is a related party by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Patrick Avery who has a material personal interest in Resolution 3) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Shares to Mr Patrick Avery because the Shares form part of Patrick’s remuneration as an executive officer of the Company and the remuneration is reasonable given Patrick’s circumstances and the circumstances of the Company.
Given the speculative nature of the Company’s activities, the performance of the Directors and the performance and value of the Company are closely related. As such, the Shares granted are intended to provide reward and incentive for future services provided to the Company to further the progress of the Company and to deliver growth and Shareholder value. In the Company’s circumstances, the Directors considered that the allotment of the Shares to Mr Patrick Avery provides a cost effective and efficient incentive as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (such as cash bonuses or increased salary or board fees).
Accordingly, approval will not be sought under Chapter 2E for the issue of these Shares to Mr Patrick Avery as the issue of the Shares constitutes ‘reasonable remuneration’ in accordance with Section 211 of the Corporations Act.
3.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Notwithstanding that approval will not be sought from Shareholders under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, shareholder approval is required for the issue of any equity securities to a related party of a listed company. Once approval is obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11, the Company is entitled to rely on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14) as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, the issue of Shares to Mr Patrick Avery under Resolution 3 (if passed) will not reduce any of the Company’s 15% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
7
3.4 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 10.13, Shareholders are advised of the following particulars of the allotment and issue contemplated by Resolution 3:
| Resolution 3: | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum number of | 6,000,000 Shares | |||
| securities to be issued | ||||
| Date of issue | If Shareholder approval is obtained, the issue of the Shares will occur no later than one month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |
|||
| Issue price per security | No funds will be received upon issue of the Shares (unless the Company provides a loan to Mr Patrick Avery to acquire the Shares, and that loan is repaid by Mr Patrick Avery – see below). The Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price equal to the current valuation per Share set out in section 4.2 of this Notice. |
|||
| Terms of issue | The Shares are subject to the corresponding performance hurdles as set out below (Performance Hurdles). The Performance Hurdles must be satisfied at any time between the date of issue of the Shares and the relevant expiry date before the Shares can be sold, transferred, or encumbered by Mr Patrick Avery (or his nominee). Where a Performance Hurdle is not satisfied by the relevant expiry date (or in the opinion of the Board, becomes incapable of being satisfied), or Mr Patrick Avery has ceased to act as a Director of the Company before the relevant expiry date (and the relevant Performance Hurdle has not been satisfied before that expiry date), then the Shares will be forfeited and sold by the Company as agent for Mr Patrick Avery and the proceeds will then be retained by the Company. The Company Share prices associated with each Performance Hurdle will be based on on-market trading occurring through the ASX.

It is intended that funds raised (if any) will be used for working capital purposes. |
3.5 Additional information
Mr. Patrick Avery’s remuneration package for the financial year ending 30 June 2018 (FY18) and 30 June 2019 (FY19) are expected to consist of the following components:
| FY19 | FY18 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fees/salary | US$223,500 per annum. | Consultancy fees of US$207,000 per annum. |
| Additional fees | If Mr Patrick Avery is required to provide services to the Company on more than 15 days during any month (or 17 days on and from 1 January 2019) (based on an 8-hour day), a related entity of Mr Patrick Avery is entitled to receive additional fees of up to US$950 for each additional day. |
Nil |
| Security based | The 6,000,000 Shares contemplated by Resolution 3. These 6,000,000 Shares have been valued at $738,676 (based on the valuation methodology described in section 4 of this Explanatory Memorandum). |
Nil |
| incentives | ||
| Other | The Company will also reimburse Mr Patrick Avery for all reasonable travel expenses incurred in the performance of his duties. |
The Company will also reimburse Mr Patrick Avery for all reasonable travel expenses incurred in the performance of his duties. |
Mr Patrick Avery’s existing interests in Fertoz are as set out below:
(a) 107,143 Shares; and
(b) 303,572 unlisted options.
There are currently 106,444,530 Shares on issue. The dilutionary effect of the issue of 6,000,000 Shares under Resolution 3 would be 5.6%.
9
The Directors do not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs or taxation consequences for the Company (or benefits foregone by the Company) as a result of the issuance of the Shares to Mr Patrick Avery in accordance with Resolution 3.
If after obtaining professional advice it is determined that it would be preferable for Mr Patrick Avery to pay for the Shares, a loan may be offered to Mr Patrick Avery by the Company to acquire the Shares (with the loan amount being up to the current deemed value of the Shares set out in section 4.2) on the following terms:
-
(a) the loan will be interest free;
-
(b) the loan made available to Mr Patrick Avery will be applied by the Company directly toward payment of the issue price of the Shares;
-
(c) the loan repayment date and the manner for making such payments will be determined by the Board and set out in a loan agreement;
-
(d) the Company will have a lien over the Shares in respect of which any loan is outstanding and the Company will be entitled to sell those Shares;
-
(e) the loan will be non-recourse (except against the Shares held by Mr Patrick Avery to which the loan relates); and
-
(f) the Board may, in its absolute discretion, agree to forgive the loan.
3.6 Directors' recommendation
Mr Patrick Avery has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3 on the basis that he (or his nominee) will be issued Shares if Resolution 3 is passed. The remaining Directors do not have a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3. However, in accordance with good corporate governance practice, the remaining Directors abstain from making a recommendation on how to vote on Resolution 3 because the Resolution relates to another Director’s remuneration.
4. VALUATION OF SHARES TO BE ISSUED UNDER RESOLUTION 3
4.1 Valuation methodology
As at the date of this Notice, the Company had 106,444,530 Shares on issue. The following table gives details of the highest, lowest and latest market sale price for the Company’s Shares over the past 12 months ending at the close of trade on 9[th] July 2018:
| Highest price | Lowest price | Latest price |
|---|---|---|
| $0.22 on 15 May 2018 | $0.05 on 9 October 2017 | $0.185 on 9 July 2018 |
Given that the Shares to be issued under Resolution 3, include performance hurdles before they duly vest (and based on the assumptions set out below), management has estimated that the Shares to be issued under Resolution 3, are worth $738,676 as at 25 June 2018 (see the table in section 4.2 for the break down).
10
The valuation was derived using the Black and Scholes valuation methodology and in accordance with applicable accounting standards, based on the following assumptions:
-
(a) the valuation date is 25 June 2018, although the Shares will not be granted until Shareholders have approved the issue of the Shares;
-
(b) the Shares will be issued to Mr Patrick Avery at zero cost – although it is acknowledged that they may ultimately be purchased using funds loaned by the Company (if a loan is required);
-
(c) the performance hurdles associated with each tranche of Shares have the corresponding expiry dates as set out in the tables below;
-
(d) the price of a fully paid Share is based on the closing Share price of the Company on 25 June 2018 which was 20 cents per Share;
-
(e) a risk free rate of 2.04%; and
-
(f) an expected volatility rate of 92% has been applied.
4.2 Valuation of Shares to be issued to Mr Patrick Avery under Resolution 3
| Tranche | Expiry Date | Current valuation | Total value |
|---|---|---|---|
| per Share | |||
| 2,000,000 Shares | N/A | $0.20 | $400,000 |
| 1,000,000 Shares | 1 June 2021 | $0.1027 | $102,661 |
| (28 cent hurdle) | |||
| 1 June 2021 | $0.0892 | $ 89,214 | |
