3. Resolution Two - Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report section of the Company's 2014 Annual Report. The Annual Report is available to download on the Company’s website, www.cokal.com.au.
Under Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution at the second of those Annual General Meetings proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting within 90 days to consider the re-election of all of the directors of the Company (other than the Managing Director) (“spill resolution”).
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting (“spill meeting”) within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. All of the directors who were in office when the second (consecutive) Directors’ Report was considered at the second (consecutive) Annual General Meeting, other than the Managing Director, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the spill meeting but may stand for re-election at the spill meeting. Following the spill meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors are approved will be the directors of the Company.
At the 2013 Annual General Meeting less than 25% of the votes cast were voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report included in the 2013 Annual Report.
In summary the Remuneration Report:
-
explains the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of executive directors and senior executives of the Company;
-
explains the relationship between the Board’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance;
-
sets out remuneration details for each Director and the most highly remunerated senior executive of the Company; and

A voting exclusion applies to Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties in certain circumstances – please see the notes to Resolution Two. Any undirected proxies held by the directors or any other Key Management Personnel (excluding the Chairman) or their Closely Related Parties will not be voted on Resolution Two.
As the directors have a personal interest in the proposed Resolution Two, they make no recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote on the Resolution.

4. Resolution Three - Ratification of Previous Issue of Options
Background
On 27 August 2014, the Company issued to Platinum Partners Credit Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. ( Platinum ) 15,000,000 unlisted options to subscribe for Shares in the Company, exercisable at $0.20 each on or before 27 August 2018 (expiry date can be extended to 27 August 2022 in certain circumstances) ( Platinum Options ).
A summary of the terms and conditions of grant is set out in Annexure A.
Shareholder approval
Resolution Three seeks the ratification by Shareholders of the issue of the Platinum Options.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits an ASX listed company, except in certain cases, from issuing or agreeing to issue new equity securities without the approval of its Shareholders, if the number of securities issued or agreed to be issued by the company during the previous 12 months exceeds 15% of the total number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period ( Placement Capacity ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities made without prior approval of Shareholders may be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval if:
-
(a) at the time of the issue, it did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) the Shareholders of the company subsequently ratify the issue in general meeting.
The issue of the Platinum Options was made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1, accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder ratification in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4. If this resolution is approved it would have the effect of allowing the issue of the Platinum Options to be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval so they will not be counted towards the Company's Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolutions Three, Four and Five are approved, the Company would be able to issue up to 25% of its capital during the next 12 months without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5 the Company provides the following information (in addition to information contained in the Notice of Meeting and elsewhere in this Explanatory Statement) for the purposes of Shareholder ratification under Listing Rule 7.4:
| Number of securities issued | 15,000,000 unlisted options. |
|---|---|
| The price at which the securities were issued |
The Platinum Options were granted as part consideration for the BBM funding package announced on 11 August 2014. |
| The terms of the securities | The Platinum Options are unlisted, have an exercise price of $0.20 each and expire on or before 27 August 2018 (expiry date can be extended to 27 August 2022 in certain circumstances). A summary of the terms are set out in Annexure "A" to this Explanatory Statement. |
| Name of allottee | Platinum Partners Credit Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. |
Cokal Limited Notice of AGM – 17 November 2014

|---|---|
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement relating to Resolution Three is included in the Notice of Meeting. |
The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of this Resolution.
5. Resolution Four - Approval of Enhanced Placement Capacity
Listing Rule 7.1A
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue shares up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( Enhanced Placement Capacity ). This Enhanced Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million and is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index.
Resolution Four is a special resolution and therefore requires 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 case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
If approved, the effect of Resolution Four will be to allow the Directors to issue the shares under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Enhanced Placement Period in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 15% Placement Capacity ).
Calculation of the Enhanced Placement Capacity
The actual number of shares that the Company will have capacity to issue under the Enhanced Placement Capacity will be calculated at the date of issue of the shares in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of shares issued under the Enhanced Placement Capacity will not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of shares in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at which the shares are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(b) if the shares are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the shares are issued.
Enhanced Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the Enhanced Placement Capacity is valid, and Shares will only be issued, from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(b) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
(the Enhanced Placement Period ).

Dilution of existing Shareholders
(a) Dilution risks
If Resolution Four is approved by the Shareholders and the Company issues Shares under the Enhanced Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table.
-
(b) Economic risks
-
(1) There is a risk that:
-
(A) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the shares than on the date of this meeting; and
-
(B) the shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Shares on the issue date.
-
-
(2) If shares are issued at a discount to the net tangible asset value per share ( NTA ) there may be a negative impact on NTA.
-
(c) Potential dilution of existing ordinary Shareholders
The below table 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 7.1.2 as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
-
(1) 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 on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
-
(2) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.
| Variable 'A' in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.07 50% decrease in issue price |
$0.14 Issue price |
$0.28 100% increase in issue price |
||
| Current Variable A 471,487,926 shares |
10% voting dilution |
47,148,793 shares | 47,148,793 shares | 47,148,793 shares |
| Funds raised | $3,300,415 | $6,600,831 | $13,201,662 | |
| 50% increase in Variable A 707,231,889 shares |
10% voting dilution |
70,723,189 shares | 70,723,189 shares | 70,723,189 shares |
| Funds raised | $4,951,623 | $9,901,246 | $19,802,493 | |
| 100% increase in Variable A |
10% voting dilution |
94,297,585 shares | 94,297,585 shares | 94,297,585 shares |
| 942,975,852 shares | Funds raised | $6,600,831 | $13,201,662 | $26,403,324 |
Cokal Limited Notice of AGM – 17 November 2014
Page 8 of 15
==> picture [106 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(A) The Company issues the maximum number of shares available under the Enhanced Placement Capacity.
-
(B) 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%.
-
(C) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Enhanced Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the meeting.
-
(D) The table shows only the effect of issues of shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(E) The issue price is $0.14, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 7 October 2014.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the Enhanced Placement Capacity as follows:
-
(a) The Company may issue shares under the Enhanced Placement Capacity for working capital, general corporate and other purposes. Shares may be issued for non-cash consideration.
-
(b) The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Enhanced Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of shares will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(1) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(2) the effect of the issue of the shares on the control of the Company;
-
(3) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(4) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
-
(c) The allottees under the Enhanced Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
-
(d) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(e) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Shares. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution Four is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

6. Resolution Five - Ratification of issue of Consultant Shares
Background
As previously disclosed, the Company issued 384,000 shares in the Company ( Consultant Shares ) to a consultant, Crook Media Pty Ltd ( Crook Media ).
Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits an ASX listed company, except in certain cases, from issuing or agreeing to issue new equity securities without the approval of its Shareholders, if the number of securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months exceeds 15% of the total number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period ( Placement Capacity ).
The Consultant Shares were issued without Shareholder approval and reduces the Company's Placement Capacity.
Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of shares made by a company without the prior approval of shareholders may be treated as having been made with shareholder approval if:
-
(a) at the time the issue took place, it did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) the shareholders of the company, in general meeting, subsequently ratify the issue of the shares.
The issue of Consultant Shares was made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1, accordingly the Company seeks shareholder ratification in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4. If Resolution Five is approved this would have the effect that the issue of the Consultant Shares will be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval and will not be counted towards Cokal's Placement Capacity.
Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5 the Company provides the following information (in addition to the information contained in the Notice of Meeting and elsewhere in this Explanatory Statement):
| Number of Shares issued | 384,000 fully paid ordinary shares |
|---|---|
| Price at which Shares were issued | $0.25 per share |
| Date on which the Shares were issued and allotted | 9 October 2014 |
| The names of the persons to whom the securities were issued |
Crook Media Pty Ltd |
| The terms of the Shares issued | 192,000 of the Consultant Shares have been placed into voluntary escrow for 18 months pursuant to an escrow agreement signed by the Company and Crook Media, with the balance 192,000 ranking_pari_ _passu_in all respects with the Company's existing Shares. |
| The use (or intended use) of the funds raised | No additional funds will be raised by the issue of the Consultant Shares. |
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement relating to Resolution Five is included in the Notice of Meeting. |
