EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of the Resource Star Limited Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 11.30am (AWST) on Tuesday, 27 November 2012 at Level 2 Spectrum, 100 Railway Road, Subiaco, WA.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
The first agenda item is to receive the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2012, comprising the Financial Reports, Directors’ Report and Independent Auditor’s Report.
There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2012.
However, Shareholders present at the Annual General Meeting will be able to:
-
(a) Ask the Directors’ present questions or make comment on the management of the Company; and
-
(b) Ask the Auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report.
Shareholders who are unable to attend the Annual General Meeting but would still like to ask questions in relation to the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2012 can submit written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company’s Auditor about:
-
(a) The preparation and the content of the Auditor’s Report;
-
(b) The conduct of the 2012 audit;
-
(c) Accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and
-
(d) The independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the 2012 audit
The questions will need to be submitted no later than five (5) business days before the Annual General Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company’s Registered Office.
RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act at a listed company’s Annual General Meeting, the Board is required to table the Company’s Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption.
The Directors’ Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy of the Company and reports the current remuneration arrangements in place for the Non-Executive Directors, Managing Director and Senior Management.
Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company to the outcome passed. A failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
The Director and Executive Remuneration Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011 provides Shareholders with the opportunity to remove the Board under the two strike rules.
5
Under the Two Strike Rule, where at least 25% of votes are cast against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two (2) consecutive Annual General Meetings, a “board spill resolution” needs to put to the Shareholders at another meeting held within 90 days to consider replacing all the current Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors’ Report.
The 2011 Remuneration Report tabled at the Resource Star Limited 2011 Annual General Meeting DID NOT receive a “no” vote of 25% or more.
The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1 .
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR ANDREW BELL AS DIRECTOR
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and the Company’s Constitution, Directors must retire after the third AGM since they were lasted elected. Clause 13.2 of the Company’ Constitution states that at the Company’s Annual General Meeting one third of the Directors for the time being shall retire from office.
Mr Andrew Bell retires by rotation in accordance with Clause 13.2 of the Constitution and being eligible for re-election, offers himself for re-election as a Director.
Mr Bell is a Lawyer with a Master in Arts and was appointed to the Board and as Chairman on 6 August 2007. Mr Bell is a former Mining Analyst, Fund Manager, and Investment Banker and is Chairman of Regency Mines PLC and of Red Rock Resources PLC, both companies listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enable eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the Annual General meeting (10% Placement Facility). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Resolution 3 is that the Directors of Resource Star Limited can issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A over a twelve (12) month period between 27 November 2012 and 27 November 2013 without using or in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. Resource Star Limited is an eligible entity.
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. A Special Resolution requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote in person or by proxy.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as explained below.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one (1) class of quoted Equity Security – Shares.
6
Formula for calculating the 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the twelve (12) month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(AxD)-E
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue:
-
Plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
Plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid shares in the 12 months;
-
Plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
Less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%
- E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the twelve (12) months before the date of the issue of agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under listing rule 7.1 or 7.4.
Number of Shares that can be issued under 10% Placement Facility
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement facility under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 113,856,414 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(a) 17,078,462 Equity Securities per the Company’s 15% placement facility under Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(b) 11,385,641 Equity Securities per the Company’s 10% additional placement facility under Listing Rule 7.1A; subject to Shareholder approval being sought in Resolution 3; and
-
(c) Up to 28,464,103 Equity Securities in total combining the potential Placements under the 15% facility of Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% facility of Listing Rule 7.1A
The Share number provided in point (b) above is at the date of this Notice but under Listing Rule 7.1A the Company has the ability to issue the Shares under the 10% Placement Facility anytime between 27 November 2012 and 27 November 2013; so the actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the above formula.
Price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Facility
The issue price of the Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the fifteen (15) Trading Days immediately before:
-
(a) The date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(b) If the Equity Securities are not issued within five (5) Trading Days of the date mentioned in point (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
7
10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval in relation to the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained – 27 November 2012 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 – 27 November 2013; 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 following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A to assess the merits of the Resolution:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the fifteen (15) Trading Days 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 five (5) Trading Days of the date mentioned in point (a) (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below . There is a risk that:
-
i. The market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
ii. The Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset
This may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares on issue. The table also shows the affect if the current number of Shares on issue is increased by 50% and 100% and where the issue price has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
| Shares on Issue | Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.006 50% decrease in Issue Price |
$0.012 Issue Price |
$0.024 100% increase in Issue Price |
||
| Current Shares 113,856,414 |
10% Voting Dilution | 11,385,641 Shares | 11,385,641 Shares | 11,385,641 Shares |
| Funds raised | $68,314 | $136,628 | $273,255 | |
| 50% increase 170,784,621 |
10% Voting Dilution | 17,078,462 Shares | 17,078,462 Shares | 17,078,462 Shares |
| Funds raised | $102,471 | $204,941 | $409,883 | |
| 100% increase 227,712,828 |
10% Voting Dilution | 22,771,283 Shares | 22,771,283 Shares | 22,771,283 Shares |
| Funds raised | $136,628 | $273,255 | $546,511 |
The following assumptions were made when preparing the above table:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue;
8
-
The table does not show the dilution effect that may be caused to a particular Shareholder;
-
The table only shows the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A not under the 15% Placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculation the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders; and
-
The issue price of $0.012 is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX as at 09 October 2012.
-
(c) The Equity Securities will only be issued during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 to issue the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a significant change to the nature or scale of activities (Listing Rule 11.1.2) or disposal of a main undertaking (Listing Rule 11.2);
-
(d) Resource Star Limited’s present intention, subject to cost estimates and the Company’s overall funding situation and budgets at the time, would be to use a portion of the funds received from the issue of the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
Continued exploration on its current tenements in Malawi and Australia; with activities which could include:
-
(a) Geological mapping;
-
(b) Geophysical surveys;
-
(c) Continued exploration including further drilling; and
-
(d) General working capital
-
-
Potential acquisition of new resource assets and investments by either or both of the following:
-
(a) Cash consideration; and
-
(b) Non-cash consideration, if this was the purpose; the Company would provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX 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.
Allocation Policy
The Company’s allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A may include a placement to select existing Shareholders, a corner stone investor or several “new” professional/sophisticated investors not currently on the Company’s register.
The identity of the allottees of the Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
The methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing Shareholders can participate;
-
The effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
The financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
Advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility are not known as at the date of this Notice but may include substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
If the Company is successful in acquiring new resource assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resource assets or investments;
- (e) Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A has not previously been obtained; and
9
- (f) A Voting Exclusion Statement applies in relation to Resolution 3. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or an identifiable class of existing Shareholder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the Voting Exclusion in the Notice.
