This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES - BRENDAN BORG, RANKO MATIC AND WILLIAM OLIVER
1.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 18,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Messrs Brendan Borg, Ranko Matic and William Oliver ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.
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 or entity 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 the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Borg, Matic and Oliver are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties.

- (i) if the Related Party Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 18,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 456,616,544 to 474,616,544 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 3.9%, comprising 1.3% by Brendan Borg, 1.3% by Ranko Matic and 1.3% by William Oliver.
The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | 0.05 | 13 April 2017 |
| Lowest | 0.021 | 30 December 2016 |
| Last | 0.037 | 6 June 2017 |
(k) the Board acknowledges the grant of Related Party Options to Messrs Matic and Oliver is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3[rd] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of Related Party Options to Messrs Matic and Oliver reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph (m);
-
(l) the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as Directors;
-
(m) Brendan Borg declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Brendan Borg is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 1 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 2 and 3, Brendan Borg recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:
-
(i) the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties in particular, the vesting conditions of the Related Party Options, will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders. Should the Milestones not be reached, the value of the Related Party Options will be $0;
-
(ii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;
9
-
(n) Ranko Matic declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Ranko Matic is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 2 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 1 and 3, Ranko Matic recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m);
-
(o) William Oliver declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that William Oliver is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 3 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 1 and 2, William Oliver recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m);
-
(p) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Related Party, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Related Party Options; and
-
(q) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 1 to 3.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
