5. RESOLUTIONS 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS

5.1 General

As announced on 8 September 2021, the Company undertook a placement to raise $1,200,000 through the issue of 35,294,118 Shares at an issue price of $0.034 per Share together with one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for and issued ( Placement ).

On 8 September 2021, the Company issued the Shares and Options the subject of the Placement ( Placement Securities ) to participants of the Placement.

The Company engaged the services of 180 Markets Pty Ltd (AFSL 339211) ( 180 Markets ), to manage the issue of the Placement Securities. The Company has paid 180 Markets a management fee of $72,000 (being, 6% of the amount raised under the Placement). The key roles of 180 Markets included:

  • (a) lead managing the Placement on a best endeavours basis;

  • (b) assisting with preparation of presentation and marketing material (if necessary);

  • (c) investor management; and

  • (d) general capital markets advice.

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 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.

The issue of the Placement Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 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 equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

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 equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Securities.

12

==> picture [46 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Securities.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Placement Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Placement Securities will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed at this Meeting.

5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) the Placement Securities were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of 180 Markets. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved 180 Markets seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from nonrelated parties of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 35,294,118 Shares and 17,647,059 Options were issued;

  • (f) the Placement Securities were issued on 8 September 2021;

13

==> picture [46 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

issue of the Placement Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Securities was to raise $1,200,000, which (after costs of $72,000) will be applied as follows; and

6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

6.1 General

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 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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

An “ eligible entity ” for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity and expects to remain so up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $12.28 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 2 December 2021).

In the event that the Company does not meet the requirements of an “eligible entity” for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A on the day immediately prior to the date of Meeting, the Company shall withdraw this Resolution.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have an additional 10% capacity as provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval

14

==> picture [46 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

6.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information in relation to Resolution 5 is provided as follows:

(a) Period for which approval is valid

An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

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

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.

(b) Minimum price at which Equity Securities may be issued.

Any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A must be in an existed quoted class of the eligible entity’s Equity Securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or

  • (ii) if the securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph 4.2(b)(i), the date on which the securities are issued.

(c) Purposes for which funds may be used

Equity Securities can only be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A for cash consideration. Funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used for the continued development of the Company’s assets, the acquisition of new assets or other investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), and for general working capital.

  • (d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

15

==> picture [46 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (ii) 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 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 2 December 2021.

98,258,726 $1,228,234 $2,456,468 $4,912,936

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 issue or scrip issue under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 2 December 2021, being 491,293,630 Shares.

  • (ii) The issue price is $0.025, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 2 December 2021.

  • (iii) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the additional 10% capacity.

16

==> picture [46 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

  • (iv) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (v) The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (vi) The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • (vii) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  • (viii) 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%.

  • (ix) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted.

(e) Allocation Policy

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the additional 10% capacity will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the 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 security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the additional 10% capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related

17

==> picture [46 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

parties or associates of a related party of the Company and may include new investors who have not previously been Shareholders.

(f)

Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2020 annual general meeting held on 29 January 2021 ( Previous Approval ).

During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 25 January 2021, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

(g)

Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in an issue of the equity securities. No existing shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting in the Notice.

6.3 Board recommendation

The Board is of the view that the passing of Resolution 5 is in the best interests of the Company and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 .

6.4 Voting intention

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

7. RESOLUTION 6 – REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION

7.1 General

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of shareholders.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted in 2011.

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.

The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution

The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Statement, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

18

==> picture [46 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website www.cauldronenergy.com.au and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 6117 3860). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

7.2 Summary of material proposed changes

Restricted Securities (clause 2.12)

The Proposed Constitution complies with the changes to Listing Rule 15.12 which took effect from 1 December 2019. As a result of these changes, ASX will require certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers (such as related parties, promoters, substantial holders, service providers and their associates) to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings (such as non-related parties and non-promoters), ASX will permit the Company to issue restriction notices to holders of restricted securities in the form of the new Appendix 9C advising them of the restriction rather than requiring signed restriction agreements.

Minimum Securityholding (clause 3)

This Proposed Constitution now extends the minimum holding provisions to all securities as provided for under the Listing Rules. The clause previously only referred to shares.

Joint Holders (clause 9.8)

CHESS is currently being replaced by ASX with a projected go-live date of April 2023. As part of the CHESS replacement, the registration system will be modernised to record holder registration details in a structured format that will allow up to four joint holders of a security. Clause 9.8 of the Proposed Constitution provides that the number of registered joint holders of securities shall be as permitted under the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Capital Reductions (clause 10.2)

The Proposed Constitution now permits sales of unmarketable parcels to a sale nominee as part of a capital reduction.

Direct Voting (clause 13, specifically clauses 13.35 – 13.40)

The Proposed Constitution includes a new provision which allows Shareholders to exercise their voting rights through direct voting (in addition to exercising their existing rights to appoint a proxy). Direct voting is a mechanism by which Shareholders can vote directly on resolutions which are to be determined by poll. Votes cast by direct vote by a Shareholder are taken to have been cast on the poll as if the Shareholder had cast the votes on the poll at the meeting. In order for direct voting to be available, 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. If such a determination is made by the Directors, the notice of meeting will include information on the application of direct voting.

19

==> picture [46 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Use of technology (clause 14)

The Proposed Constitution includes a new provision to permit the use of technology at general meetings (including wholly virtual meetings) to the extent permitted under the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and applicable law.

Partial (proportional) takeover provisions (new clause 37)

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:

20

==> picture [46 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

  • (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 as a minority;

  • (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.

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.

Recommendation of the Board

The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provision in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

8. GENERAL INFORMATION
