The resolution is conditional upon ASIC’s consent to the resignation of Grant Thornton Queensland Partnership, and the Company anticipates that this consent will be received.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the resignation of Grant Thornton Queensland Partnership and the appointment of Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd will take effect on the date of this AGM or when the consent of ASIC is received.In accordance with section 328B(3) of the Corporations Act, a copy of the notice of nomination of auditor is attached as Annexure A.
Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.
7. Resolution 7: Approval to issue an additional 10% of the issued capital of the Company over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A
Introduction
Pursuant to Resolution 7, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. If passed, this resolution will allow the Company to allot and issue up to the number of new Equity Securities calculated in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 ( 10% Securities ) each at an issue price of at least 75% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class (calculated over the last 15 days on which trades in the Equity Securities are recorded immediately before the date on which the price at which the Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed, or if the 10% Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of that date, the date on which the 10% Securities are issued) ( Issue Price ).
This approval is sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. Under Listing Rule 7.1A small and mid-cap listed entities that meet the eligibility threshold and have obtained the approval of their ordinary shareholders by Special Resolution at the AGM, are permitted to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period from the date of the annual general meeting ( Additional 10% Issue ). The Additional 10% Issue under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the ability of the Company to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.The Company may issue the 10% Securities to raise funds for the Company and for non-cash consideration (further details of which are set out below). Funds raised from the issue of 10% Securities, if undertaken, would be applied to progress the objectives of Company including the funding of exploration activities, working capital, acquisitions and the payment of any costs of the issue of the 10% Securities.
Listing Rule 7.1A
a) General
i. Eligibility
An entity is eligible to undertake an Additional 10% Placement if at the time of its annual general meeting it has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and it is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index.
For illustrative purposes only, on 2 October 2013 the Company’s market capitalisation was $2.3 million based on the Closing Trading Price on 1 October 2012. The calculation of market capitalisation will be based on the Closing Price of the Shares, on the last Trading Day on which trades in the Shares were recorded before the date of the AGM, multiplied by the number
of Shares on issue (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis).
The Company is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index as at the time of this AGM, however, it should be noted that the S&P/ASX300 Index is rebalanced twice a year in March and September.
The Company is therefore an Eligible Entity and able to undertake an Additional 10% Issue under Listing Rule 7.1A.
In the event that the Company for any reason ceases to be an Eligible Entity after the Company has already obtained Shareholders’ approval pursuant to this Resolution 7, the approval obtained will not lapse and the Company will still be entitled to issue the Placement Securities.
ii. Special Resolution
Listing Rule 7.1A requires this Resolution 7 to be passed as a Special Resolution, which means that it must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, no Placement Securities will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at the Meeting.
iii. Shareholder approval
The ability to issue the Placement Securities is conditional upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution at the Meeting.
b) Issue Period – Listing Rule 7.1A.1
Assuming Resolution 7 is passed, Shareholder approval of the Additional 10% Issue under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
i. the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM; or
-
ii. the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX.
If approval is given for the issue of the Additional 10% Issue then the approval will expire, on 27 November 2014, unless Shareholder approval is granted pursuant to Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2 prior to that date.
c) Calculation for Additional 10% Issue – Listing Rule 7.1A.2
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that Eligible Entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the AGM, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
i. plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
ii. plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
iii. plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary securities under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4. [Note: This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary securities under the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval];
-
iv. less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.
D is 10 percent.
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
d) Listing Rule 7.1A.3
- i. Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the only class of Equity Securities in the Company quoted on the ASX are ‘Ordinary Shares (ORD)’. The Company presently has 76,160,663 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
ii. Minimum Issue Price
The issue price for the Placement Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the relevant Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the 10% Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (A) above, the date on which the relevant Placement Securities are issued.
e) Information to be given to ASX – Listing Rule 7.1A.4
If Resolution 7 is passed and the Company issues any Placement Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the Company will give to ASX:
-
i. a list of alottees of the 10% Securities and the number of 10% Securities allotted to each (this list will not be released to the market); and
-
ii. the following information required by rule 3.10.5A, which will be released to the market on the date of issue:
-
details of the dilution to the existing holders of Equity Securities caused by the issue;
-
where the Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, a statement of the reasons why the Company issued the Equity Securities as a placement under rule 7.1A and not as (or in addition to) a pro rata issue or other type of issue in which existing Shareholders would have been eligible to participate;
-
details of any underwriting arrangements, including any fees payable to the underwriter; and
-
any other fees or costs incurred in connection with the issue.
-
f) Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 76,160,663 Shares. The Company will have the capacity to issue the following Equity Securities on the date of the Meeting:
-
i. 11,424,099 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
ii. subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 7, 7,616,066 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as described above).
Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
a) Minimum Price of securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A – Listing Rule 7.3A.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.3, the 10% Securities issued pursuant to approval under Listing Rule 7.1A must have an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
i. the date on which the price at which the Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
ii. if the 10% Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (1) above, the date on which the Placement Securities are issued.
The Company will disclose to the ASX the issue price on the date of issue of the 10% Securities.
b) Risk of economic and voting dilution – Listing Rule 7.3A.2
As provided by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, if Resolution 7 is passed and the Company issues the 10% Securities, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to the existing Shareholders. The Company currently has on issue 76,160,663 Shares. The Company could issue 7,616,066 Shares on the date of the Meeting (however, it is important to note that the exact number of Equity Securities which may be issued will be calculated in accordance with the formula contained in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 details of which are set out above). Any issue of 10% Securities will have a dilutive effect on existing Shareholders.
There is a specific risk that:
-
i. the Market Price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of any 10% Securities than it is on the date of the Meeting; and
-
ii. the 10% Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the Market Price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue or the value of the Placement Securities.
As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, Table 1 below shows the potential economic and voting dilution effect, in circumstances where the issued capital has doubled and the Market Price of the Shares has halved. Table 1 also shows additional scenarios in which the number of issued Shares have increased and the Market Price of the Shares has decreased.

Assumptions and explanations
-
The Market Price is $0.03 based on the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 1 October 2013.
-
The above table only shows the dilutionary effect based on the issue of the 10% Securities and not any Shares issued under the 15% under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Placement Securities.
-
The Issued Share Capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at 1 October 2013 and assuming all resolutions affecting share capital presented to the Annual General Meeting are passed.
-
The issue price of the Placement Securities used in the table is the same as the Market Price and does not take into account the discount to the Market Price (if any).
c) Final date for issue – Listing Rule 7.3A.3
As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.3, the Company will only issue and allot the 10% Securities during the 12 months after the date of this Meeting which will end on 27 November 2014. The approval under Resolution 7 for the issue of the 10% Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities of the Company) or Listing Rule 11.2 (the disposal of the main undertaking of the Company) before the anniversary of the AGM.
d) Purpose – Listing Rule 7.3A.4
As noted above, the purpose for which the 10% Securities may be issued include to raise funds for the Company and for non-cash consideration (further details of which are set out below). Any funds raised from the issue of 10% Securities, if undertaken, would be applied to progress the objectives of Company including the funding of exploration activities, working capital, acquisitions and the payment of any costs of the issue of the 10% Securities.
e) Shares Issued for Non-cash consideration – Listing Rule 7.3A.4
The Company may issue 10% Securities for non-cash consideration, such as the acquisition of new assets or investments or the payment of expenses of the Company. If the Company issues 10% Securities for non-cash consideration, the Company will release to the market a valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the10% Securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
f) Company’s Allocation Policy – Listing Rule 7.3A.5
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue of the 10% Securities. The identity of the allottees of 10% Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to a number of factors including but not limited to the following:
-
i. the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing Shareholders can participate;
-
ii. the effect of the issue of the 10% Securities on the control of the Company;
