4 RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

4.1 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 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 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’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

Page 5

If Resolution 3 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 Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval 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.

4.2 Requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

4.2.1 Eligible entities

As set out above, 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. The Company is an eligible entity at the time of this Notice of Meeting and expects to be so at the date of the Meeting.

4.2.2 Shareholder approval

Shareholders must approve the 10% Placement Facility by special resolution at the Annual General Meeting, which requires the 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). A resolution under Listing Rule 7.1A cannot be put at any other Shareholder meeting.

4.2.3 Equity Securities

Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on the ASX.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue the following classes of Equity Securities quoted on the ASX:

  • 333,101,117 Ordinary Shares; and

  • 24,104,826 Options, with an exercise price of $0.18 per Option and expiring on 31 May 2021.

4.2.4 Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

If Resolution 3 is passed the Company may, during the period of the approval, issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) ‐ E

Where:

  • A = The number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.

Page 6

Note that “A” has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity;

  • D = 10%;

  • E = The number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4; and

  • “relevant period” means:

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

Note that “relevant period” has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

4.2.5 Interaction between ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company has 333,101,117 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. If this Resolution 3 is passed the Company will be permitted to issue (as at the date of this Notice):

  • 49,965,168 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 33,310,112 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will be permitted to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue or agreement to issue the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out above).

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A without using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.3 Information for Shareholders as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

4.3.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.1 – Period of approval

An approval from Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid and commence on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which Shareholder approval is obtained (being Friday 28 May 2021) and expires on the first to occur of the following.

  • (a) The date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting.

  • (b) The time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting.

  • (c) The time and date of the approval by holders of the Company’s ordinary securities of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.

4.3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.2 – Minimum price

Any Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be in an existing quoted class of the Company’s Equity Securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP for Equity Securities in the relevant quoted class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price of the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

4.3.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.3 – Purposes for which the new Equity Securities may be issued

The Company may use funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 for the following purposes:

  • the acquisition of new assets or investments (including the expenses associated with such acquisitions);

Page 7

  • continued exploration, feasibility study and project development expenditure on the Company's current assets; and/or

  • general working capital.

4.3.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.4 – Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 3 is passed and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below.

There is the risk that:

  • the market price for the Company's existing Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue of the new Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price of the Company's existing Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the new Equity Securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A.2, the table also shows:

  • two examples, where variable "A" has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example a pro rata entitlement issue) or future placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • two examples, where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

Funds Raised $22,317,775 $44,635,550 $66,953,325

This table has been prepared using the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • No Options (including any Options having previously been issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • 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 Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Page 8

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • The issue price is $0.670, being the latest closing price of the Shares on ASX on 23 April 2021.

4.3.5 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.5 – Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of new Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will be dependent on the existing market conditions at the time of the proposed issue. The allottees will be determined at the relevant time having regard to factors such as:

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of new securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (as relevant).

As at the date of this Notice the allottees are not known but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders. No allottee under the 10% Placement Facility will be a Related Party or associate of a Related Party. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility, and it is possible that their Shareholding will be diluted.

The Company will comply with its disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A(4) on the issue of any new securities.

4.3.6 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6 – Details of Equity Securities issued during past 12 months

The Company previously obtained approval from Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 29 May 2020.

During the 12 month period prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, and assuming no further issue of securities occurs between the date of this Notice and the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company issued or agreed to issue a total of 26,154,994 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.2, for a total of 26,154,994 Equity Securities representing 10% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue 12 months ago, being at 28 May 2020. The table at Appendix 1 sets out the details of the Equity Securities which were issued.

All Shares issued under the 10% Placement Facility during the past 12 months complied with the requirement of Listing Rule 7.1A.3 which requires that the issue price of securities must be no less than 75% of the 15 Trading Day VWAP.

4.4 Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for the purposes of Resolution 3. At the date of this Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in a proposed issue of Equity Securities under the proposed 10% Placement Facility. No existing Shareholders’ votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING PROXY FORM

  1. Appointing a Proxy. You can appoint a proxy to attend and vote on your behalf as an alternative to attending the Meeting. You may appoint a proxy either online at www.advancedshare.com.au or by completing and submitting a Proxy Form prior to the Meeting. You can direct your proxy how to vote by marking “For” or “Against” for each resolution for your vote to be counted.

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form which may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry or you may copy this form and return them both together. Where more than one proxy is appointed, you must specify on each Proxy Form the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

  • If you wish to vote only a portion of your holding, indicate the proportion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

  • Direction to Vote. A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose (subject to certain exceptions). Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

The Shares represented by this proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any poll that may be called for, and if the Shareholder has specified a choice in respect of any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.

  1. Proxy Voting by Key Management Personnel. If you wish to appoint a director (other than the Chair) or any other member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box. If you do not your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for these Resolutions. Note that if you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct the Chair how to vote, the Chair may vote as they see fit on that resolution.

  2. Signing Instructions.

  3. Individual : Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  4. Joint Holding : Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders must sign.

  5. Power of Attorney : If you have not already provided the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to the Proxy Form when you return it.

  6. Companies : Where the company has a sole director, who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

  7. Compliance with Listing Rule 14.11. In accordance with Listing Rule 14.11, if you hold shares on behalf of another person(s) or entity/entities, or you are a trustee, nominee of custodian or other fiduciary holder of the shares, you are required to ensure that the person(s) or entity/entities for which you hold the shares are not excluded from voting on resolutions where there is a voting exclusion. Listing Rule 14.11 requires you to hold written confirmation from the person or entity providing the instruction to you and you must vote in accordance with the instruction provided. By lodging your proxy votes you confirm that you are in compliance with Listing Rule 14.11.

  8. Corporate Representatives. If a representative of a nominated corporation is to participate in the meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” form should be provided. The form is available from Advanced Share Registry.

  9. Entitlement to Vote. For the purposes of Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) the Company determines that Shareholders holding Shares as at Wednesday 26 May 2021 at 5pm (WST) will be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting.
