A Glossary of terms frequently used in this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum can be found at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO CONVERT DEBT NOTES
1.1 Background
On 14 December 2017 the Company announced that it had issued 750,000 unsecured loan notes each having a face value of $1.00 ( Debt Notes ) to Oracle Capital Group Pty Ltd pursuant to a convertible note deed ( Note Deed ). Oracle Capital Group Pty Ltd is a Perth based portfolio management and corporate advisory firm. The funds raised from the issue of the Convertible Notes will be used for continued exploration work on the various Company projects and for working capital.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Note Deed (which are summarised below), the securities issued under the Note Deed (being the Debt Notes) were issued as debt securities until such time as Shareholder approval for the Debt Notes to convert to convertible equity securities (being 750,000 convertible notes ( Convertible Notes )) is received. As set out in Annexure B, if such approval is not obtained, the Debt Notes will remain debt securities and will not become convertible equity securities. If Shareholder approval is not granted, the Debt Notes become immediately due and payable.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the conversion of the Debt Notes to convertible equity securities, being the Convertible Notes. If Shareholders approve Resolution 1, the Debt Notes will be deemed to have automatically become convertible equity securities upon receipt of such Shareholder approval and the Convertible Notes will be deemed to have been issued at that time. The terms and conditions of the Note Deed and the Convertible Notes into which the Debt Notes will convert if Shareholders approve Resolution 1 are set out in Annexure B.
1.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.3
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing, or agreeing to issue, equity securities (which includes shares) that exceed 15% of the total number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue in any 12 month period, unless approval is obtained from the holders of the company’s ordinary securities.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 1, the issue of 750,000 Convertible Notes upon the Debt Notes becoming convertible equity securities will be excluded from the calculations of the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
1.3 ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements
The following information is provided for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.3.
5
- (a) The maximum number of securities the Company is to issue (if known) or the formula for calculating the number of securities the Company is to issue
750,000 Convertible Notes
- (b) The date by which the Company will issue the securities
The Debt Notes are already on issue and are debt securities. If Shareholders approve Resolution 1, the Debt Notes will be deemed to automatically become convertible equity securities, and the Convertible Notes will be issued, immediately upon receipt of such Shareholder approval.
- (c) The issue price of the securities
Each Debt Note was issued with a face value of $1.00. If Shareholders approve Resolution 1 the Convertible Notes will also be issued with a face value of $1.00. The number of Shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes will be determined based on a conversion rate of the lower of:
-
(i) $0.047; or
-
(ii) a 15% discount to the VWAP for the five (5) Trading Days prior to the conversion notice issued in respect of those Convertible Notes.
-
(d) The names of the persons to whom the Company will issue the securities (if known) or the basis upon which those persons will be identified
The Convertible Notes will be issued to clients of Oracle Capital Group Pty Ltd, who are not related parties of the Company.
- (e) The terms of the securities
The key terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes are set out in Annexure B. Shares issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes will be issued fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s other Shares on issue.
(f) The intended use of funds raised
Funds raised by the issue of the Debt Notes will be used for continued exploration work on the various Company projects and for working capital.
- (g) The issue date or a statement that the issue will occur progressively
The Debt Notes are already on issue and are debt securities. If Shareholders approve Resolution 1, the Debt Notes will be deemed to automatically become convertible equity securities, and the Convertible Notes will be issued, immediately upon receipt of such Shareholder approval.
1.4 Dilution
As the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is not known as at the date of this Notice, the number of Shares into which the Convertible Notes may convert cannot be known. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes if Shareholders approve Resolution 1, based on the highest and lowest price for Shares traded on the ASX in the prior 12 months together with the last Share price traded on ASX before the date of this Notice, and the dilution effect of the issue of that number of Shares, is set out below.
6
| Share Price | Total Shares on issue before conversion |
Maximum number of Shares into which the Convertible Notes may be converted |
Total Shares on issue after conversion |
Dilution effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 month high ($0.08) |
195,931,002 | 9,375,000 | 205,306,002 | 5% |
| 12 month low ($0.03) |
195,931,002 | 25,000,000 | 220,931,002 | 13% |
| Last price ($0.04) |
195,931,002 | 18,750,000 | 214,681,002 | 10% |
1.5 Directors' Recommendation
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it allows the Company greater flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the total number of Shares on issue in any 12 month period without Shareholder approval.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF THE ISSUE OF ANNEXURE A OPTIONS
2.1 Background
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification for the issue of 7,300,000 Annexure A Options (exercisable at $0.06 and with an expiry date of 31 December 2019) to Oracle Capital Group Pty Ltd pursuant to the terms of the Note Deed, details of which are set out in section 1 above.

The 7,300,000 Annexure A Options that are the subject of Resolution 2 were issued on 8 January 2018. A further 200,000 Annexure A Options are yet to be issued pursuant to the Note Deed.
2.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing, or agreeing to issue, equity securities (which includes shares) that exceed 15% of the total number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue in any 12 month period, unless approval is obtained from the holders of the company’s ordinary securities. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that the approval of holders of the company’s ordinary securities may be obtained after the issue of equity securities. The effect of such ratification is to restore the company’s discretionary power to issue further securities up to 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the beginning of the relevant 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 2, the issue of 7,300,000 Annexure A Options will be excluded from the calculations of the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
