CLEAN SEAS SEAFOOD LIMITED EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Introduction

This Explanatory Statement sets out information with the business to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Clean Seas Seafood Limited to be held on Monday, 15 January 2024 commencing at 4.30pm (Adelaide time) (5.00pm AEDT).

The Placement

On Friday, 24 November 2023 the Company announced that it had successfully completed the Placement (ASX Announcement). As part of the ASX Announcement, the Company advised that it had commenced an in-depth review of the operational structure of the business (Operational Review). The focus of the Operational Review, which will be implemented over the next 3-6 months, will be on workstreams associated with:

  • (a) biomass levels and the optimal production volume at which the Company should operate;
  • (b) the consolidation and maximisation of farming activities; and
  • (c) right sizing the business to maximise profitability and cash flow.

The capital raised from the Placement will be used for working capital to facilitate the right sizing of the business operations and to execute on other key focus areas of the Operational Review.

The Placement comprised two tranches:

  • (a) tranche one: the issue of 24,800,440 Shares under the Company's existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, which were allocated on Monday, 4 December 2023 (Tranche 1 Placement Shares); and
  • (b) tranche two: the issue of an additional 10,462,960 Shares, subject to Shareholder approval (Tranche 2 Placement Shares).

Subject to Resolutions 1-3 being passed, Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued in the following proportions:

  • (a) 6,574,065 Shares to various sophisticated and professional investors (SPI Shares);
  • (b) 3,703,710 Shares to Bonafide Wealth Management (Bonafide Shares); and
  • (c) 185,185 Shares to Directors in the following proportions:
    • a. 92,592 to Travis Dillon;
  • 55,555 to Marcus Stehr; and b.
  • 37,038 to Katelyn Adams, C.

(together, the Director Shares).

1. Resolution 1: Approval to issue Shares under the Placement

Background

As noted above, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under the Company's existing 15% placement capacity on Monday, 4 December 2023. Shareholder approval was not required for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares; however, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares has exhausted the entirety of the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

As such, the remaining Placement Shares, being the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, can only be issued following Shareholder approval. This section 1 of the Explanatory Statement addresses the Shareholder approval being sought in relation to the issue of the SPI Shares. Separate Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of the Bonafide Shares and the Director Shares, which are addressed separately below in sections 2 and 3 of this Explanatory Statement respectively.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the SPI Shares.

Listing Rule 7.1

Under Listing Rule 7.1, the Company is not permitted to issue, or agree to issue, more equity securities during any 12-month period than the amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period unless the issue is approved by Shareholders or an exemption under Listing Rule 7.2 applies.

The issue of the SPI Shares exceeds the Company's 15% placement capacity and does not fall within any of the specified exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2. The issue of the SPI Shares therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is approved by Shareholders, the Company will be able to proceed to issue the SPI Shares on or around Thursday, 18 January 2024.

If Resolution 1 is not approved by Shareholders, the Company will not be able to proceed to issue the SPI Shares and the capital to be raised under Tranche 2 of the Placement will be reduced by A\$1,774,997.55 (being the amount which would be paid to the Company by the various sophisticated and professional investors for the purchase of the SPI Shares). A reduction in the amount of capital raised under Tranche 2 of the Placement may result in the Company needing to find other avenues to raise funding to support its working capital requirements to facilitate the right sizing of the business operations and to execute on other key focus areas of the Operational Review.

Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2.

Background

Bonafide Wealth Management wishes to participate in the same terms and conditions as the other Placement participants. The Company proposes to issue 3,703,710 Shares to Bonafide Wealth Management under the Placement.

Resolutions 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Bonafide Shares to Bonafide Wealth Management.

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

    1. a Related Party;
    1. a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
    1. a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
    1. an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
  • a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

Prior to the Placement, Bonafide Wealth Management held approximately 18.6% of the Company's issued capital, and has an agreement with the Company allowing Bonafide Wealth Management to appoint a Director to the Board. As a result of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, Bonafide Wealth Management's percentage holding in the Company is approximately 16.02%.

The issue of the Bonafide Shares to Bonafide Wealth Management under the Placement accordingly falls within Listing Rule 10.11.3 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the issue of the Bonafide Shares to Bonafide Wealth Management under the Placement for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Bonafide Shares to Bonafide Wealth Management under the Placement within one month after the Meeting. If Resolution 2 is passed, Bonafide Wealth Management's shareholding will increase from its current percentage holding of 16.02% to 17.2% of the issued share capital of the Company (assuming Resolutions 1 and 3 are also passed).

If Resolution 2 is not passed, Bonafide Wealth Management's shareholding in the Company will be further diluted to 15.7% (assuming Resolutions 1 and 3 are passed). The Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Bonafide Shares to Bonafide Wealth Management and the capital to be raised under Tranche 2 of the Placement will be reduced by A\$1,000,001.70 (being the amount which would be paid to the Company by Bonafide Wealth Management for the Bonafide Shares). A reduction in the amount of capital raised under Tranche 2 of the Placement may result in the Company needing to find other avenues to raise funding to support its working capital requirements to facilitate the right sizing of the business operations and to execute on other key focus areas of the Operational Review.

Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the proposed issue of the Bonafide Shares the subject of Resolution 2:

Board recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Gilbert Vergères, who abstains given his position as nominee Director for Bonafide Wealth Management) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3.

Background

Directors Travis Dillon, Marcus Stehr and Katelyn Adams (Director Participants) wish to participate in the Placement on the same terms and conditions as the other Placement participants. Further details in respect of the proposed issue of Director Shares are set out in the table below:

Resolutions 3A, 3B and 3C seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Shares to the Director Participants.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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 participation of the Director Participants in the Placement will result in the issue of Shares, which constitutes the giving of financial benefits to related parties of the Company under section 228 of the Corporations Act.

The Directors (other than Travis Dillon in relation to Resolution 3A, Marcus Stehr in relation to Resolution 3B and Katelyn Adams in relation 3C, who have a material personal interest in Resolutions 3A, 3B and 3C respectively) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolutions 3A, 3B and 3C respectively because the Shares will be issued to the Director Participants on the same terms as the Shares issued to the non-Related Party participants in the Placement, and as such, the financial benefit is on arm's length terms and within the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Resolution 2 above.

The issue of the Director Shares to the Director Participants under the Placement falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Resolutions 3A, 3B and 3C seek the approval of Shareholders for the issue of the Director Participants under the Placement for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolutions 3A, 3B and 3C are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Shares to the Director Participants under the Placement within one month after the date of the Meeting.

If Resolutions 3A, 3B and 3C are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Shares to the Director Participants under Tranche 2 of the Placement and the capital to be raised under the Placement will be reduced by A\$49,999.95 (being the amount which would be paid to the Company by the Director Participants for the purchase of the Director Shares). A reduction in the amount of capital raised under the Placement may result in the Company needing to find other avenues to raise funding to support its working capital requirements to facilitate the right sizing of the business operations and to execute on other key focus areas of the Operational Review.

Resolutions 3A, 3B and 3C are independent resolutions such that, if one (or more) of Resolutions 3A, 3B or 3C is not passed, the other Resolution(s) may still be passed. If this were to occur, the Company will only be able to proceed with the issue of the proportion of the Director Shares that were approved.
