On 22 July 2016, the Company announced that it had raised $1.2 million by way of a private placement to institutional and sophisticated investors ( Private Placement ). On 8 August 2016, the Company advised Shareholders of the decision to increase the Private Placement by A$300,000 to $1.5 million. A total of 93,750,000 Shares were issued at $0.016 per Share in four tranches, as follows:
| Tranche No. | Date of Issue | No. Shares Issued under LR7.1 |
No. Shares Issued under LR7.1A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche 1 | 26-Jul-16 | 0 | 25,000,000 |
| Tranche 2 | 29-Jul-16 | 18,815,730 | 24,934,270 |
| Tranche 3 | 3-Aug-16 | 6,250,000 | 0 |
| Tranche 4 | 12-Aug-16 | 18,750,000 | 0 |

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares.
5.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Under Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules, there are limitations on the capacity of a company to enlarge its capital by the issue of equity securities.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Cokal Limited
Page 7
Explanatory Memorandum
Approval is sought under Resolution 3 to allow the Company to ratify the issue and allotment of 93,750,000 Shares issued in the Private Placement not previously approved by Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
5.3 Information required by ASX listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval of the Share issue under the Private Placement pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
-
(a) the number of securities allotted by the Company pursuant to the Private Placement was 93,750,000 Shares; 43,815,730 Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 49,934,270 Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
(b) the Shares were issued and allotted in four tranches, as noted in 5.1 (above);
-
(c) the Shares were allotted for consideration of $0.016 per Share;
-
(d) the issued Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and in the capital of the Company and rank equally with the existing Shares on issue;
-
(e) the allottees of the Shares were subscribers to the Private Placement who are exempt from the disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act. None of the allottees were related parties of the Company at the time of the Private Placement;
-
(f) the funds raised from this issue were used to provide working capital for the Company which will enable it to continue to develop funding opportunities for its Indonesian projects; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement relating to this Resolution is included in the Notice of Meeting.
5.4 Recommendation
None of the Directors has a personal interest in the subject matter of Resolution 3. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company's share capital during the next 12 months without shareholder approval.
6. Resolution 4 - Approval to issue an additional 10% of the issued capital of the Company over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A
6.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue such number of Shares equal 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 placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( 15% Placement Capacity ).
The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of ASX 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 4 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 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the period in which the approval is valid, in addition to the Company's 15% Placement Capacity.
6.2 Calculation of the Enhanced Placement Capacity
Cokal Limited
Page 8
Explanatory Memorandum
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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
6.3 Minimum Price of securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A – ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.1, the issue price of the securities issued pursuant to approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the relevant class of equity securities over the 15 trading days immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(b) if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the securities are issued.
The minimum price cannot be determined at this stage, however, the Company will disclose to the ASX the issue price on the date of issue of the securities.
6.4 Dilution to existing Shareholders – ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.2
If Resolution 4 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 Table 1 (below).
There is a risk that:
-
(a) the market price for the Shares may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Shares than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(b) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Shares on the issue date.
If Shares are issued at a discount to the net tangible asset value per Share ( NTA ) there may be a negative impact on NTA.
Table 1 (below) shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares (as at 18 October 2016) and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.2 as at the date of this Notice.
Table 1 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 on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require shareholder approval or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders' meeting; and
-
two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price

The increases in Issued Capital have been calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at 18 October 2016.
