EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
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. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS UNDER THE PLACEMENT - LISTING RULE 7.1
1.1 General
The Company previously issued a total of 7,342,000 Shares and 7,342,000 Options to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement Participants ) pursuant to a placement that was announced to ASX on 21 October 2024 ( Placement ).
The Shares were issued on 28 October 2024, at an issue price of $0.20 per Share, raising $1,468,400 (before costs). The Options were issued on 28 October 2024, free attaching to Shares issued under the Placement, on the basis of:
-
(a) 1 Option, exercisable at $0.30 and expiring on 17 October 2025 (the 2025 Options ), for every 2 Shares subscribed for and issued; and
-
(b) 1 Option, exercisable at $0.35 and expiring on 17 October 2026 (the 2026 Options ), for every 2 Shares subscribed for and issued.
The full terms and conditions of the Options are otherwise set out in Schedule 1.
The purpose of the issue of the Shares is to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply towards: (i) phase 2 drilling at the Black Mountain Lithium Project, (ii) the 4th purchase price payment to Black Mountain Lithium Corp., one of the Black Mountain Project vendors, (iii) initial execution of the pilot mine strategy, including metallurgical testing in Perth and a scoping study for a pilot mine and general working capital.
The Shares and Options were issued under the Company’s existing placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares and Options to the Placement Participants.
1.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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 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%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 22 May 2024.
The issues do 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 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the dates of the issues.
1.3 Listing Rule 7.4
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 pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A (provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1). If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A.
4
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 or 7.1A. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If the Resolution is passed, the issue 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 the issue.
If the Resolution is not passed, the issue 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 the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
