Capital Structure
The table below sets out CMA’s current capital structure.
| Class | No. of securities |
|---|---|
| Ordinary shares | 136,670,085 |
| Options | 7,159,150 |
| Share appreciation rights | 1,689,566 |
| Restricted rights | 27,778 |
Options
CMA has on issue 4,127,170 options with exercise prices below 20 cents which were issued under an employee share option plan. There are 747,170 options with an exercise price of $0.000001 and 3,380,000 options with an exercise price of $0.14. CMA has also issued 14,815 restricted rights to Owen Wilson and 12,963 restricted rights to Nicole Sparshott. These restricted rights have no performance milestones and have a nil exercise price, and therefore ASX considers these to be equivalent to options with an exercise price below 20 cents.
Each option and restricted right entitles a holder to one ordinary share in CMA on exercise and the proportion of CMA’s total issued capital that the options and restricted rights will represent on listing on an undiluted basis is approximately 3.75%.
Waivers
CMA has applied for admission to the Official List of the ASX and sought a waiver from the ASX in respect of Listing Rule 1.1, Condition 12, which provides that if an entity seeking admission to the Official List has options on issue, the exercise price for those options must be at least 20 cents in cash. The policy underlying Listing Rule 1.1, Condition 12 is that this rule supports Listing Rule 2.1 condition 2 which requires the issue price or sale price of all securities for which an entity is seeking quotation (except options) upon admission to the official list to be at least 20 cents in cash. These requirements together support the integrity of the ASX market, as they demonstrate that the entity’s ordinary securities have a minimum value suitable for a listed entity.
As stated above, CMA has on issue 4,127,170 options with exercise prices below 20 cents which were issued under an employee share option plan. There are 747,170 options with an exercise price of $0.000001 and 3,380,000 options with an exercise price of $0.14. CMA has also issued 14,815 restricted rights to Owen Wilson and 12,963 restricted rights to Nicole Sparshott. These restricted rights have no performance
milestones and have a nil exercise price, and therefore ASX considers these to be equivalent to options with an exercise price below 20 cents.
Each option entitles a holder to one ordinary share in CMA on exercise and the proportion of CMA’s total issued capital that the options will represent on listing on an undiluted basis is 3.75%.
The waiver has been granted by the ASX on the condition that the material terms of the options and restricted rights are clearly disclosed in CMA’s Prospectus and therefore this waiver permits CMA to have options and restricted rights on issue with an exercise price lower than 20 cents upon admission.
CMA sought the waiver because (i) the options were granted in 2021, prior to the Offer process and based on the Company’s valuation and circumstances at that time, and have since fully vested; and (ii) the restricted rights were issued prior to the date of the Prospectus to remunerate or incentivise certain directors of CMA. Repricing, cancelling or exchanging these options or restricted rights to meet the 20 cent threshold would have caused disproportionate commercial detriment to CMA and the relevant holders, including increased transaction and accounting costs and impacts on the anticipated economics of the Offer. The waiver does not affect the offer price of CMA’s shares to be quoted on ASX.
