CATALYST METALS LIMITED
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This explanatory memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of Catalyst Metals Limited in connection with the business to be considered at the forthcoming annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notice of meeting.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
The financial report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2018 (including the financial statements, directors’ report and auditors’ report) was included in the 2018 annual report of the Company, a copy of which is available on the Company’s web-site at www.catalystmetals.com.au.
There is no requirement for shareholders to approve these reports. However, time will be allowed during the annual general meeting for consideration by shareholders of the financial statements and the associated directors’ and auditors’ reports.
RESOLUTION 1 – RE-ELECTION OF GARY SCHWAB AS A DIRECTOR
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and Clause 11.3 of the Constitution require that a director (other than a managing director) must not hold office without re-election for more than 3 years and that one third of the directors in office (other than a managing director) must retire by rotation at each annual general meeting of the Company.
Mr Gary Schwab was last re-elected in November 2015 and therefore retires at the forthcoming annual general meeting in accordance with the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election at that meeting.
Mr Schwab was appointed as an independent non-executive director of the Company in December 2009. Mr Schwab is a Certified Practicing Accountant with over 40 years business experience, including 20 years in the resources sector. Mr Schwab was previously Executive Director for a privately owned commodities group. In that role, Mr Schwab was responsible for managing a long term wealth creation strategy (in conjunction with the principal and owner) which culminated in the creation of what is currently one of Australia’s wealthiest unlisted private commodities companies. Mr Schwab is chairman of the audit committee.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Schwab as a director of the Company. The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
RESOLUTION 2 – REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors’ Report section of the Company’s 2018 annual report. The Remuneration Report describes the underlying principles and structure of the remuneration policies of the Company and sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for directors and senior executives.
The Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report be put to the vote of shareholders of the Company. Shareholders should note that the vote on Resolution 2 is not binding on the Company or its directors. However, the directors take the discussion at the meeting and the outcome of the vote into account when considering the Company’s remuneration practices.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
- 4 -
RESOLUTION 3 – AUTHORITY FOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES PURSUANT TO EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN
Resolution 3 seeks the approval of shareholders for the adoption of an employee incentive scheme titled the Catalyst Metals Limited Employee Incentive Plan ( Plan ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Shares and other securities convertible to Shares under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without shareholder approval in any 12 month period.
Shareholders should note that no securities have previously been issued under the Plan. However, approval is being sought pursuant to Resolution 4 for the issue of incentive options to a director of the Company, Gary Schwab.
The Company has previously established the Catalyst Metals Limited Employee Share Option Plan ( ESOP ) which was last approved by shareholders in November 2015 and the Catalyst Metals Limited Performance Rights Plan ( Rights Plan ) which was last approved by shareholders in November 2017 ( Previous Plans ). Since the last shareholder approvals of the Previous Plans, the Company has issued a total of 1,000,000 Options and has not granted any performance rights under the Previous Plans. It is proposed that the Previous Plans will be replaced by the Catalyst Metals Limited Employee Incentive Plan.
The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain selected employees, directors and consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries ( Eligible Participants ) by providing equity incentives and rewards. It will also enable Eligible Participants, upon becoming shareholders, to participate in the future growth and development of the Company. The directors consider this to be a cost effective and efficient means of providing targeted incentives and rewarding Eligible Participants and expects it to result in ongoing benefits to both the Company and Eligible Participants.
Any future issues of securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relation with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require specific shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Annexure A. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available to shareholders upon request to the Company.
RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO GARY SCHWAB
Resolution 4 seeks approval for the issue of up to 700,000 Options ( Director Options ) to a non-executive director of the Company, Mr Gary Schwab, in consideration for his ongoing contribution and commitment to the Company since his appointment as a director in 2009 and in the future. Mr Schwab has been instrumental in the introduction of joint venture partners to the Company’s projects and his role has included acting as chair of joint venture management committees and chair of the audit committee, ongoing management of joint venture and stakeholder relationships, evaluation of project opportunities and other additional responsibilities.
The Director Options are to be issued pursuant to the Catalyst Metals Limited Employee Incentive Plan which is subject to the approval of shareholders in accordance with Resolution 3.
- 5 -
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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 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 Director Options constitutes the giving a financial benefit as Mr Schwab is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a director.
The directors (other than Mr Schwab who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of the Director Options because the grant of the Director Options is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances of the Company and the extensive past and ongoing service of Mr Schwab to the Company.
ASX Listing Rule 10.14
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
As the issue of the Director Options involves the issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the Company, shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the directors that the exceptions do not apply in the current circumstances.
Shareholder approvals – ASX Listing Rule 10.15
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:
-
(a) the Director Options will be granted to Gary Schwab (or his nominee);
-
(b) the maximum number of Director Options to be issued is 700,000;
-
(c) the exercise price of the Director Options will be nil per Director Option ( Exercise Price );
-
(d) the Director Options will be granted no later than 12 months after the date of the meeting and it is intended that issue of the Director Options will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the Director Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;
-
(f) all directors of the Company are entitled to participate in the Plan, however, at the current time the Company only intends to make an offer to Mr Schwab. Accordingly, approval is being sought only for the issue of Director Options to Mr Schwab;
-
(g) no loan will be provided to Mr Schwab in connection with the issue of Director Options; and
-
(h) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Annexure B.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Director Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the grant of Director Options to Mr Schwab (or his nominee) will not be included in the calculation of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
- 6 -
RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL FOR 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an “eligible entity” may seek shareholder approval by special resolution at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to maximum of 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If shareholders approve Resolution 5, the number of equity securities that the Company can issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).
The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue equity securities of a maximum of 10% of the Company’s ordinary fully paid securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, during the period of up to 12 months from the date of the annual general meeting, without the requirement to obtain subsequent shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity available pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 is to be considered as a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 million.
As at the date of this notice, 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 $121.8 million.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity 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 ordinary Shares (ASX trading code: CYL).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with the approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of ordinary fully paid Shares under the company’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
-
D is 10%.
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
-
7 -
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
(a) Minimum price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the above date, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
The Company may also issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity as consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, resource or investment, in which case the Company will release to the market a valuation of those Equity Securities that demonstrates that the issue price of the securities complies with the rule above.
(b) Date of issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
12 months after the date of the meeting; and
-
the date of approval by shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (significant change to nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),
(the “ 10% Placement Capacity Period” ).
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 5 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 shows the dilution of existing shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of equity securities on issue as at the date of this notice of meeting.
The table shows the voting dilution impact for securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) increases by 50% and 100% and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares (based on a 50% decrease to current market price of Shares and 100% increase).
| Number of Shares on issue (Variable A in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2) |

| (100% increase in Variable A) | ||||
- 8 -
The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or Shares issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above is based on the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 70,212,444 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 8 October 2018 ($1.70 per Share).
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the equity securities.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. 7. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the annual general meeting. All shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the meeting;
-
the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue; and
-
the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, in which case, no funds will be raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
(d)
Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current projects and any additional projects acquired (funds used for drilling, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration) and general working capital; or
-
as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon the issue of any Equity Securities.
(e)
Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
- 9 -
The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
the purpose of the issue;
-
alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing shareholders may participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the circumstances of the Company including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2017 annual general meeting held on 15 November 2017. The Company has issued 6,114,541 Shares pursuant to this previous approval.
In the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting, the Company also issued a further 2,952,492 Shares, representing 4.55% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company as at 28 November 2017, which was 64,802,188. The details of all issues of Equity Securities in the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting are set out in Annexure C to this explanatory memorandum.
(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:
-
a list of the allottees of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
the information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
Voting exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in the notice of meeting. As at the date of this notice, the Company has not invited any existing shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 5.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 10% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 month period. The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
RESOLUTION 6 – ADOPTION OF NEW CONSTITUTION
It is proposed that the existing Constitution of the Company be repealed in its entirety and replaced with a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ). The existing Constitution was adopted on incorporation of the Company in 2006. The Proposed Constitution is a standard form constitution appropriate for a public company and reflects current Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule provisions as well as contemporary business practices.
Under the Corporations Act, a company may elect to either amend parts of its constitution or replace the entire document. As there have been a number of changes to the Corporations Act since the adoption of the existing Constitution, the directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to repeal the existing document and to replace it with a new constitution.
- 10 -
Pursuant to Section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a special resolution of shareholders is required for the adoption of a new constitution for the Company.
The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature including but not limited to updating references to bodies or legislation which have been renamed; and expressly providing for statutory rights by mirroring these rights in the provisions of the Proposed Constitution.
A number of amendments in the Proposed Constitution are to ensure that it is as clear and concise as possible. There have been no fundamental changes to shareholders rights, such as the rights to vote, participate in dividends or in the event of a winding up.
A copy of the Proposed Constitution can be inspected free of charge at the Company’s registered office. Alternatively, shareholders may request that a copy of the Proposed Constitution be sent to them.
Summary of material proposed changes
Minimum Shareholding (clause 3)
Clause 3 of the Proposed Constitution outlines how the Company can manage shareholdings which represent an “unmarketable parcel” of Shares, being a shareholding that is less than $500 based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at the relevant time.
The Proposed Constitution is in line with the requirements for dealing with “unmarketable parcels” outlined in the Corporations Act such that where the Company elects to undertake a sale of unmarketable parcels, the Company is only required to give one notice to holders of an unmarketable parcel to elect to retain their shareholding before the unmarketable parcel can be dealt with by the Company, saving time and administrative costs incurred by otherwise having to send out additional notices.
Clause 3 of the Proposed Constitution continues to outline in detail the process that the Company must follow for dealing with unmarketable parcels.
Fee for registration of off market transfers (clause 8.4(c))
In January 2011, ASX amended ASX Listing Rule 8.14 with the effect that the Company may now charge a “reasonable fee” for registering paper-based transfers, sometimes referred to “off-market transfers”.
Clause 8.4 of the Proposed Constitution is being introduced to enable the Company to charge a reasonable fee when it is required to register off-market transfers from shareholders. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its fraud detection practices specific to off-market transfers.
Before charging any fee, the Company is required to notify ASX of the fee to be charged and provide sufficient information to enable ASX to assess the reasonableness of the proposed amount.
Dividends (clause 22)
Section 254T of the Corporations Act was amended effective 28 June 2010. There is now a three-tiered test that a company will need to satisfy before paying a dividend replacing the previous test that dividends may only be paid out of profits.
The amended requirements provide that a company must not a pay a dividend unless:
-
(a) the company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend;
-
(b) the payment of the dividend is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole; and
-
(c) the payment of the dividend does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors.
-
11 -
The existing Constitution reflects the former profits test and restricts the dividends to be paid only out of the profits of the Company. The Proposed Constitution is updated to reflect the new requirements of the Corporations Act. The directors consider it appropriate to update the Constitution for this amendment to allow more flexibility in the payment of dividends in the future should the Company be in a position to pay dividends.
Partial (proportional) takeover provisions (new clause 36)
A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s Shares.
Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.
This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last renewal of the clause.
Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act
Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions
Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.
Reasons for proportional takeover provisions
A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.
Knowledge of any acquisition proposals
As at the date of this notice of meeting, no director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions
The directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.
The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for shareholders include:
-
(a) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
-
(b) assisting in preventing shareholders from being locked in a minority position;
-
(c) increasing the bargaining power of shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and
-
(d) each individual shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.
-
12 -
The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for shareholders include:
-
(a) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;
-
(b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and
-
(c) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.
Direct voting
The Proposed Constitution includes a new provision which allows for direct voting. Direct voting is a mechanism by which members can vote directly on resolutions which are to be determined by poll. Votes cast by direct vote by a member are taken to have been cast on the poll as if the member had cast the votes on the poll at the meeting. Directors must elect that votes can be cast via direct vote for all or any resolutions and determine the manner appropriate for the casting of direct votes. The Company does not, however, have any immediate intention to implement direct voting.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

If during the currency of the Options, there is a bonus issue of shares ( Bonus Issue ) to the holders of shares in the Company, the number of shares for which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date of the Bonus Issue.
