Explanatory Memorandum
9. Resolution 7 – Approval to Issue Shares to Related Party – Mr Gerhardus Kielenstyn
9.1 Background
This Resolution seeks Shareholders’ approval for the repayment of US$81,600 (AU$120,000 at an exchange rate of US$0.68) debt owed to a related party, Mr Gerhardus Kielenstyn, by the issue of fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company at an issue price equal to the 20 day VWAP prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting ( Related Party Shares ). The debt is owed to Mr Kielenstyn in respect of salary and annual leave owing. It has been agreed with Mr Kielenstyn that the Related Party Shares issued will be in full and final payment of all amounts owing to Mr Kielenstyn.
Subject to certain exemptions, Listing Rule 10.11 restricts a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities to a related party without Shareholders’ approval. As Mr Gerhardus Kielenstyn has been a director of the Company in the past 6 months, he is considered a related party of the Company.
The Company does not consider that the proposed Share issue under this Resolution falls within any of the exemptions to Listing Rule 10.11 and accordingly seeks Shareholder approval for the issue to Mr Kielenstein for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, which will enable the Company to issue the Shares contemplated by this Resolution.
9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party unless one of a number of exceptions applies or shareholders’ approval is obtained. A “financial benefit” is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and expressly includes a public company issuing securities. Section 210 provides an exemption for the giving of a financial benefit that is on "arm's length" terms.
The settlement with the Mr Coleman, who is not a related party of the Company, was negotiated at arm's length between the Company and that party. The settlement with the Related Party Mr Kielenstyn will take place on the same terms and conditions being an issue of Shares at a deemed issue price of 20 day VWAP in consideration for satisfying the outstanding debts. The Company has formed the view that shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in relation to Resolution 7, on the basis that the financial benefit is given on the same arm’s length terms as in Resolution 6 and that the exemption in section 210 of the Corporations Act therefore applies.
9.3 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
The following information is required by Listing Rule 10.13, for the purposes of Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11:
-
(a) The Shares will be issued to Mr Gerhardus Kielenstyn and/or his nominee;
-
(b) The table below shows a worked example for illustrative purposes, of the number of Shares to be issued for the AU$120,000, for various issue prices taking into account various 20 day VWAPs. The 20 day VWAP is dependent upon the price and volume traded of the Shares 20 days prior to the Annual General Meeting:
| 50% decrease in 20 day VWAP |
**20 day VWAP *** | 50% increase in 20 day VWAP |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Issueprice | 0.0235 | $0.047 | $0.0705 |
| Number of Shares | 5,106,383 | 2,553,191 | 1,702,128 |

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $40,409,345 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 8 October 2019).
An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one (1) class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being Shares (ASX Code: CKA) and nine (9) classes of unquoted Equity Securities on issue, being Unquoted Options.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
D
is 10%.
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

Explanatory Memorandum
Resolution 9 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 9 for it to be passed.
11.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 9:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 11.2(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b)
Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),
( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently a total of 918,394,214 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 8 October 2019.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
- (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
Cokal Limited
Page 17
Explanatory Memorandum
- (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets, ongoing project administration and for general working capital; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments and in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 1 – Issues of Equity Securities Since 30 November 2018.

Notes:
-
Market Price means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.
-
Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ASX Code: CKA (terms are set out in the Constitution).
-
In respect of quoted Equity Securities the value is based on the closing price of the Shares ($0.044) on the ASX on 8 October 2019. In respect of unquoted Equity Securities the value of Options is measured at the time of issue using the Black & Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the Option, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the Option.
-
Unquoted Options: 1,000,000 exercisable at $0.0.045 each, on or before 20 December 2021. 3,000,000 exercisable at $0.045 each, on or before 20 December 2021 (vesting upon production of 20,000 tonnes per month of coal (including PCI) for three consecutive months). 3,000,000 exercisable at $0.055 each, on or before 20 December 2021 (vesting upon production of 40,000 tonnes per month of coal (including PCI) for three consecutive months). 3,000,000 exercisable at $0.07 each, on or before 20 December 2021 (vesting upon commencement of shallow river barging). 5,000,000 exercisable at $0.10 each, on or before 20 December 2021 (vesting upon first shipment of coking coal from BBM).

VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chair) or 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 Resolution 1.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as they see fit on that resolution.
Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
