EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s General Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the resolutions in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.

This Explanatory Statement includes information and statements that are both historical and forward-looking. To the extent that any statements relate to future matters, Shareholders should consider that they are subject to risks and uncertainties. Those risks and uncertainties include factors and risks specific to the industry as well as matters such as general economic conditions. Actual events and results may differ materially. None of the Company, the Directors, or their advisors can assure Shareholders that forecasts or implied results will be achieved.

1. PROPOSED TRANSACTION

1.1 The Company

The Company was incorporated on 22 September 1983 and listed on the ASX on 16 August 1984, and has the following wholly-owned dormant subsidiaries:

  • (a) Denny Dalton (Pty) Ltd (incorporated in the Republic of South Africa); and

  • (b) Energy Company of America LLC (incorporated in Delaware).

The Company has also recently incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, G8 International Connect, Inc. (incorporated in Delaware) ( G8I ) through which the Company proposes to acquire the Connected Group.

The Company was previously focused on mining and mineral exploration in Australia, however does not currently have an interest in any exploration or mining areas.

Due to difficult market conditions in the mining and exploration sector, the Company has been evaluating high quality and value adding investment opportunities outside the commodities industry to take advantage of global market trends and maximize the value of its Shares.

As announced to the ASX on 16 September 2015 the Company previously held Mission and Cables Project Exploration Licence 37/747 ( EL37/747 ), however that tenement has expired and four other parties have subsequently applied for exploration licences over the same ground. The Company has made submissions to the Minister for Mines and Petroleum that, in the public interest, he should use his discretion to refuse the competing exploration licence applications and instead grant a new exploration licence to the Company over the same ground as EL37/747. The Company is awaiting a response from the Minister and will then assess its legal position, however the Proposed Acquisition should not affect the outcome or vice versa.

10

1.2 Proposed Acquisition

On 30 October 2015 the Company announced to ASX that it had entered into a Share Sale Agreement to acquire, through its wholly owned subsidiary G8I, all of the issued capital in Connected and ICU, the 100% owners of a next generation wireless technology business, in consideration for the Company agreeing to issue to the Vendors, in agreed proportions, 200,000,000 fully paid ordinary Consideration Shares (on a postConsolidation basis) in the capital of the Company, together with 100,000,000 Class A Performance Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) and 50,000,000 Class B Performance Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis).

As announced to ASX on 30 October 2015, the Company advised that the Company and Connected would undertake a sophisticated placement to raise up to $1,000,000 by way of a note raising to be completed in two tranches. The first tranche of $500,000 is to be raised by Leopard by way of a convertible note raising to pay outstanding creditors, recompliance costs and for general working capital ( Leopard Noteholders ). The second tranche of $500,000 is to be raised by Connected by way of a convertible note raising for Connected Group’s working capital ( Connected Noteholders ).

The Company will convene the General Meeting on 21 December 2015 to seek the approval of its Shareholders to, among other things, the acquisition of the Connected Group and the change in the nature and scale of the Company’s business and operations to enable the Company to focus on developing opportunities in the next generation wireless technology sector. Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company will change its nature from a mining and mineral exploration company to a next generation wireless technology company. In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company may convert from a public no liability company to a public company limited by shares by passing a special resolution resolving to so change its status and if all of the issued shares of a company are fully paid up, that company.

On 17 September 2015, the Company made a call on its remaining 4,000,000 Partly Paid Shares on issue ( Call ). The Call amounts were due and payable by 6 October 2015 ( Call Date ). The Partly Paid Shares were forfeited as no payment was made, and so the Company held a public auction on 11 November 2015 and sold the 4,000,000 Partly Paid Shares, credited as fully paid ( Public Auction ).

As announced to ASX on 30 October 2015, the Company advised that the Company and Connected would undertake a sophisticated placement to raise up to $1,000,000 by way of a note raising to be completed in two tranches as follows:

  • $500,000 to be raised by Leopard by way of a convertible note raising to pay outstanding creditors, re-compliance costs and for general working capital ( Leopard Notes ); and

  • $500,000 to be raised by Connected by way of a convertible note raising for Connected Group’s working capital ( Connected Notes ).

1.3

Overview of Connected Group

Connected IO, Inc. ( Connected ) and ICU Wireless Limited ( ICU ) comprise the Connected Group. Connected was incorporated on 12 November 2013 in California, USA. ICU was incorporated on 21 June 2012 in Mauritius.

The Connected Group conducts a next generation wireless technology business based in Silicon Valley, California, the world capital of technology start-ups.

11

The Connected Group creates innovative wireless hardware technologies to support an increasingly connected world. The Connected Group has developed a number of products for the US wireless “Machine to Machine” (M2M) market, with its flagship product being the Machine Connect modem. M2M is a term used to describe any technology that enables networked devices to exchange information and perform actions without the manual assistance of humans. Some key Machine to Machine applications include vending machines, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) design applications, Point of Sale (POS) systems, embedded systems, smart grid, connected health, remote video, remote access and digital signs.

The Connected Group has fully developed the Machine Connect modem and is now marketing it for intelligent connectivity between machines. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Connected Group sells its Machine Connect modem through its website www.connectedio.com. See below for further information.

The Connected Group is developing three other key products, known as the Emu Router, the Body Camera and the International Machine Connect, and intends to commercialise these products. See below for further information.

(a) Machine Connect

Launched at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2015, Machine Connect allows disparate assets to interoperate with each other via a cellular network. Machine Connect is a ruggedized, single-mode Long-Term Evolution ( LTE ) and 3G/4G fall back modem. Machine Connect uses a cloud management platform to provide a way to connect enterprise machine assets such as vending machines, ATM’s, lights, household appliances, digital signage, security systems, energy management systems and drones to the LTE networks. Machine Connect is a scalable end-to-end solution that enables customers to roll out M2M solutions in a timely, streamlined and cost-effective manner.

Machine Connect was developed by the Connected Group M2M technology, in partnership with Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless has granted a non-exclusive licence to the Connected Group to exploit the Machine Connect hardware, software and mechanical design.

Machine Connect provides simple and flexible solutions for integrating 4G LTE into M2M applications, with USB interfaces natively supported by most Linux and Android systems, making integration with host devices fast and easy. Machine Connect devices are available in LTE only and 2G/3G/4G LTE models. The device’s metal casing provides an efficient means of dissipating heat in environments where USB dongles are ineffective.

The vending industry offers an opportunity for Machine Connect. Trends affecting the vending industry will spur demand for Machine Connect. Many vending assets are in public areas, which limits access to a fixed line connection as well as sharing of connections with a cellular gateway or router.

Typically, a vending business will purchase cellular network access from a telecommunications network provider and the Machine Connect modem from the Connected Group. The Machine Connect modem contains a SIM card enabling it to access the provider’s cellular network. The Machine Connect modem is then installed within the vending asset. The business then uses its own software in order to detect faults and manage the vending asset remotely.

12

Key Advantages of Machine Connect

  • (i) Verizon certification: The Machine Connect modem is already certified for use on Verizon’s cellular network throughout the Unites States.

  • (ii) Non-reliance on Wi-Fi Networks: Unlike other wireless modems, the Machine Connect modem utilises 3G and 4G cellular networks with fall back protection, therefore reducing the risk in the event of failure of WiFi networks or lack of a 4G network.

  • (iii) Scalability: Being a fully commercialised and proven product, production of the Machine Connect modem can be increased with minimal incremental cost.

  • (iv) Price advantage: Machine Connect has a price advantage over competitors including cellular gateways and routers.

  • (v) Greater flexibility and antenna support: Connected assets can be located outdoors or at the perimeter of buildings and connected via a cellular connection through the use of Machine Connect rather than having to be within an existing Wi-Fi footprint. Machine Connect also has connectors for optional external antennas.

  • (vi) Improved Security : The risk of theft of credit card data via the hacking of retailer’s in-house systems can be avoided by transferring connected assets off the retailer’s corporate broadband network onto the cellular network through the use of Machine Connect.

  • (vii) Strong Compatibility: Machine Connect connects to Linux Operating System and Android Operating System, and interfaces with Ethernet, Wi-Fi and USB.

  • (b) Emu Router

The Emu Router is an open source industrial M2M router. The Emu Router is a ruggedized metal enclosure suitable for outdoor deployment providing dual ethernet and 3G/4G WAN ports with full redundancy.

The Emu Router provides seamless roaming between 3G/4G, Wi-Fi and wired internet as well as IPV4 and IPV6 networking, static and dynamic WAN IP address support and Verizon private network support.

The Emu Router has 2x2 Wi-Fi Access points with support for up to 50 clients. It also possesses Wi-Fi hot-spot capabilities and full routing or pass-through bridge mode and cloud management and monitoring system.

Emu Router is still being developed.

1.4 Business Model

Following completion of the Capital Raising, the Company will focus on growing the Connected Group’s business via:

  • (a) Direct Sales : The Connected Group sells its Machine Connect modem directly to consumers and businesses via its website, www.connectedio.com. The Connected Group intends to continue to drive growth in sales by expanding its business development team.

  • (b) Strategic Relationships : The Connected Group forms key relationships with strategic partners, with a focus on high volume opportunities. In addition to growing its business through sales and marketing, the Company will consider opportunities for growth by entering into distribution agreements with established market makers that will increase awareness of the Products. Examples of companies with whom the Connected Group has commercial relationships include:

  • (i) Verizon Wireless (which funded the Machine Connect Product, and whose sales personnel refer customers directly to Connected); and

  • (ii) The Coca-Cola Company (which has approved Machine Connect as a connectivity solution supplier for Coca Cola Freestyle 7000 series dispensers in the United States).

  • (c) Product Development : The Connected Group is designing products for particular applications (for example, the Body Camera) and will continue to develop Products to meet specific client needs.

14

1.5 Financial History

Connected was incorporated in 2013 and ICU was incorporated in 2012. Having only manufactured and delivered limited product to customers in the US market since 2015, the Group is essentially a start-up business with limited trading history.

Capital raised to date has been used to complete research and development, commercialisation and manufacturing of products.

Given the Group’s limited trading history, and given that its business is largely unproven, it is difficult to make an evaluation of the Group’s business or its prospects. Accordingly no assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the acquisition of the Connected and ICU and the implementation of the business plan.

1.6 Share Sale Agreement

  • (a) The Share Sale Agreement is subject to and conditional upon the following conditions precedent:

  • (i) Prior to the Completion Date the Company does not receive a proposal in respect of the Purchaser which an independent expert determines to be superior to the Transaction for the Company's Shareholders.

  • (ii) The Company obtaining and complying with the relevant approvals required to validly implement the Transactions (including any Consolidation and Recompliance, if required).

  • (iii) The Company completing the Consolidation and Recompliance (if required).

  • (iv) The Vendors and the Group obtaining all required shareholder approvals as may be required to legally and validly implement the Transactions.

  • (v) The Vendors facilitating, and the Company completing the Capital Raising subject to any conditions ASX may impose on the Capital Raising, including that Completion occurs under the Share Sale Agreement and that the shares to be issued and allotted pursuant to the Capital Raising are issued in accordance with the Corporations Act.

  • (b) Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the Conditions, the total consideration for the purchase of all the shares in Connected and ICU comprises of:

  • (i) the issue and allotment of 200,000,000 fully paid ordinary Consideration Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) to the Vendors (and/or their nominee(s)) according to the Vendor Proportions;

  • (ii) the issue and allotment of 100,000,000 fully paid Class A Performance Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) to the Vendors (and/or their nominee(s) according to the Vendor Proportions, which will convert into 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) if the Milestone A is achieved; and

  • (iii) the issue and allotment of 50,000,000 fully paid Class B Performance Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) to the Vendors (and/or their nominee(s) according to the Vendor Proportions, which will convert into 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) if the Milestone B is achieved.

15

  • (c) Milestone A will be achieved upon the Company and its subsidiaries achieving aggregated gross revenue of $15,000,000 in any of the financial years ending on 31 December 2016, 2017 or 2018, following recompliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

  • (d) Milestone B will be achieved upon the Company and its subsidiaries achieving aggregated gross revenue of $25,000,000 in any of the financial years ending on 31 December 2016, 2017 or 2018, following recompliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

1.7 Advantages of the Proposed Transaction

  • (a) The Company will be changing the nature of its activities to include next generation wireless technology company.

  • (b) The change in nature of the Company’s activities could attract new investors and may allow the Company to more readily raise additional working capital (if required) and as such the Company may increase its ability to acquire further projects.

  • (c) The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary G8I, will acquire one hundred percent (100%) of the Group by the issue of shares.

1.8 Disadvantages of Proposed Transaction

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on the proposed Resolutions:

  • (a) The Company will be changing the nature of its activities to a next generation wireless technology company.

  • (b) The proposed acquisition will result in the issue of shares to the Vendors, which will have a dilutionary effect on the current holdings of Shareholders.

  • (c) There are risk factors associated with the change in nature of the Company’s activities and associated acquisition of the Group. Some of these risks are set out in section 1.17 below.

1.9 Effect of the Proposed Transaction on the Company

By acquiring 100% of the issued capital of Connected and ICU through its wholly owned subsidiary G8I, the Company will be pursuing the development and commercialization of Connected’s and ICU’s next generation wireless technology.

1.12 Relevant Interests and Voting Power

This section 1.12 sets out the effect of the issue of Shares pursuant to Resolutions 4, 7, and 9 on Relevant Interests and Voting Power in relation to the Company.

(a) Identity of persons who will receive Consideration Shares, Performance Shares and Facilitation Shares pursuant to Resolutions 4, 7 and 9 and their Associates

If Resolutions 4 (Issue of Consideration Shares, Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares to the Vendors), 7 (Issue of KGV Loan Consideration Shares to KGV) and 9 (Issue of Shares to Related Connected Noteholders on conversion of the Connected Notes) are passed, the Vendors will receive the numbers of Shares (and acquire a Relevant Interest in the number of Shares) set out in Annexure A of this Explanatory Statement.

18

The Vendors do not consider that they will be Associates of one another after Shares are issued pursuant to the Resolutions. However, when Shares are issued under the Resolutions pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, the Vendors and other parties listed in Annexure A may be considered Associates of one another. Accordingly the Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act for the purposes of section 606 of the Corporations Act because, at the time of issue of the Shares under the Resolutions, the Vendors and their Associates may be considered to be Associates of one another having a Voting Power in the Company of up to:

  • 60.68%, assuming that $3,000,000 is raised under the Capital Raising; and

  • 55.26%, assuming that $4,500,000 million is raised under the Capital Raising.

The following additional information is provided in relation to the Vendors:

  • (i) Yakov Temov

Mr Yakov Temov is a director and shareholder of Connected and a Proposed Director of the Company.

  • (ii) Wen Sung

Ms Wen Sung is the wife of Sid Sung, a director of Connected.

  • (iii) KGV

KGV is controlled by Robert Nelson, the father-in-law of Jason Ferris, a Director of the Company. KGV is therefore a Related Party of the Company. KGV has directed that its Consideration Shares and Performance Shares to be issued to KGV as a Vendor be issued to Cocoon Capital Investment Limited as KGV’s nominee.

Cocoon is also controlled by Robert Nelson, the father-in-law of Jason Ferris, and is therefore a Related Party of the Company.

Willis Nominees Limited (the trustee for Nelson family trust) and Maraval Investments LLC (a company controlled by Tim Nelson, Robert Nelson’s son) do not consider that they are Associates of each other, nor of Cocoon or KGV. However, for the purposes of obtaining shareholder approval for the Proposed Transaction under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, these entities (together with the other Vendors) are being treated as Associates of KGV.

(b) Impact of the Proposed Transaction on the Voting Power in the Company’s Shares

  • (i) The Company’s capital structure

As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has 2,391,053,092 Existing Shares on issue, prior to the Consolidation. After the Partly Paid Shares have been credited as fully paid and sold following the Auction, the Company will have 2,395,053,092 Existing Shares on issue, prior to the Consolidation.

19

Once the issue of securities as proposed in the Resolutions 4 to 12 (inclusive) have been completed, the capital structure of the Company will consist of between 614,917,551 Shares on a post-Consolidation basis (assuming $3,000,000 is raised under the Capital Raising, the Connected Notes and Leopard Notes convert into Shares, and the Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares do not convert into Shares) and 689,917,551 Shares on a post-Consolidation basis (assuming $4,500,000 is raised under the Capital Raising, the Connected Notes and Leopard Notes convert into Shares, and the Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares do not convert into Shares). If the Class A Performance Shares and the Class B Performance Shares then convert into Shares, the capital structure of the Company will consist of between 764,917,551 Shares on a postConsolidation basis (assuming $3,000,000 is raised under the Capital Raising and 839,917,551 Shares on a post-Consolidation basis (assuming $4,500,000 is raised under the Capital Raising).

(ii) Current Voting Power of the Vendors

As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, the following Vendors have a Relevant Interest in Existing Shares (on a pre-Consolidation basis):

Vendor Existing
Shares
Existing
Voting
Power
Yakov Temov Nil 0%
Wen Sung Nil 0%
KGV1 457,957,991 19.15%2

Notes:

  1. This represents the total Existing Shares held by Willis Nominees Limited, the trustee for the Nelson family trust, and Maraval Investments LLC, which is beneficially owned and controlled by Tim Nelson. Willis Nominees Limited (which holds 318,345,206 Existing Shares) and Maraval Investments LLC (which holds 139,612,790 Existing Shares) do not consider that they are associates of each other, nor of KGV (which holds no Existing Shares) or Cocoon (which holds no Existing Shares). However, for the purposes of obtaining shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, these entities (together with the other Vendors) are being treated as Associates.

  2. This will reduce to approximately 19.12% upon the 4,000,000 Partly Paid Shares being credited as fully paid upon being sold at the Public Auction (assuming that those shares are not purchased by a Vendor or their associates).

Except as disclosed above, none of the Vendors have any Relevant Interest in any Existing Shares. Accordingly, the Vendors’ combined Voting Power as at the date of the Notice of Meeting is 19.15%, reducing to 19.12% upon the 4,000,000 Partly Paid Shares being credited as fully paid upon being sold at the Public Auction on 11 November 2015 (assuming that those shares are not purchased by a Vendor or their associates).

(iii) Relevant Interests and maximum Voting Power of the Vendors after the issue of Shares pursuant to Resolutions 4 to 12 (inclusive)

The Vendors and other parties listed as KGV’s Associates in Annexure A do not consider that they will be Associates of one another after Shares are issued pursuant to the Resolutions. However, when Shares

20

are issued under the Resolutions pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, the Vendors and other parties listed in Annexure A may be considered Associates of one another. Accordingly the Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act for the purposes of section 606 of the Corporations Act because, at the time of issue of the Shares under the Resolutions, the Vendors and other parties listed in Annexure A may be considered to be Associates of one another.

Based on the Company raising $3,000,000 under the Capital Raising, the Vendors and the parties listed in Annexure A would together hold a maximum Voting Power equal to 60.68% upon the issue of all the Shares pursuant to the Resolutions and assuming the conversion of all the Connected Notes, the Leopard Notes and Performance Shares into Shares.

Based on the Company raising $4,500,000 under the Capital Raising, the Vendors and the parties listed in Annexure A would together hold a maximum Voting Power equal to 55.26% upon the issue of all the Shares pursuant to the Resolutions and assuming the conversion of all the Connected Notes, the Leopard Notes and the Performance Shares into Shares.

These numbers and percentages assume that the Company does not issue any other Shares other than pursuant to the Resolutions, and that none of the Vendors nor their Associates acquire any Shares under the Capital Raising.

1.13 Intentions as to the future of the Company

The Company understands that the present intentions of the Vendors regarding the future of the Company, if the Resolutions are approved by Shareholders, are that they:

  • (a) have no current intention of making any changes to the business of the Company following the acquisition of Connected and ICU except as outlined in this Explanatory Statement or agreed to in the Company’s plans for the business following the acquisition of Connected and ICU as set out in the Prospectus;

  • (b) do not propose to inject further capital into the Company;

  • (c) intend to change the Company Secretary and providers of administration services to the Company to Trident Capital (including the proposed changes to the Board, as described in section 1.15);

  • (d) do not propose that any assets be transferred from the Company to Connected, ICU, the Vendors or their Associates; and

  • (e) have no intention to otherwise re-deploy the fixed assets of the Company.

1.14 Financial and dividend policies of the Company

There is no immediate intention of the Existing Directors or the Vendors to change the financial or dividend policies of the Company.

21

1.15 The identity, associations with the Vendors and qualifications of any person who is intended to or will become a Director

It is proposed that Yakov Temov and Eric de Mori will join the Board effective only on and from the date on which the Proposed Transaction is completed. Contemporaneously with the appointment of the Proposed Directors, Graham Chapman and Craig Willis will resign as Directors. Please refer to section 2.15 for further information in relation to Yakov Temov and section 2.16 for further information in relation to Eric de Mori.

1.16 Expenditure plans and use of funds

The Company intends to use the funds raised from the Shares issued pursuant to the Prospectus, as contemplated by Resolution 5, as follows:

  • 3 Working capital may include wages, payments to contractors, rent and outgoings, insurance, accounting, audit, legal and listing fees, other items of a general administrative nature and cash reserves which may be used in connection with any project, as determined by the Board at the relevant time.

  • 4 If the proceeds raised are between the Minimum Subscription and the Maximum Subscription, funds will be allocated between the above uses on a pro-rata basis.

1.17 Risks – Change in Nature of Activities

Shareholders should be aware that if the Resolutions are approved, the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities which will be subject to various risk factors. These risks are both specific to the development and commercialisation of next generation wireless technology and associated products, and also relate to the general business and economic environment in which the Company will operate.

An investment in the Company is not risk free and prospective new investors along with Existing Shareholders should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Notice of Meeting. The following is not intended

22

to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company will be exposed to on the acquisition of Connected and ICU.

Based on the information available, the principal risks facing the Company upon completion of the Proposed Transaction will be as follows:

(a) Competition and new technologies

The industry in which Connected and ICU are involved is subject to increasing domestic and global competition which is fast-paced and fast-changing. While Connected and ICU will undertake all reasonable due diligence in their business decisions and operations, Connected and ICU will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of their competitors, whose activities or actions may positively, or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of Connected’s and ICU’s business. For instance, new technologies could overtake the advancements made by Connected’s and ICU’s products. In that case, Connected’s revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.

(b) Special Reputational Risks

Connected and ICU operates in a fast-changing environment, and negative publicity can spread quickly, whether true or false. Negative comments by disgruntled customers about Connected or ICU may have a disproportionate effect on Connected’s or ICU’s reputation and their ability to earn revenues and profits. Additionally, complaints by such customers can lead to additional regulatory scrutiny and a consequential increase compliance burden in responding to regulatory inquiries. This could negatively impact on Connected’s and ICU’s profitability.

(c) Limited Trading History

Connected and ICU have limited trading history and there is therefore uncertainty in relation to the business of Connected and ICU, and investors should consider Connected’s and ICU’s prospects in light of their limited financial history. In addition, there is no guarantee that Connected and ICU will be able to successfully develop or commercialise their products and if they are unable to do so it they will not be able to realise significant revenues in the future.

(d) Reliance on Key Personnel

The recent development of the business of Connected and ICU has been in large part due to the talent, effort, experience and leadership of Yakov Temov and Jason Ferris. Yakov Temov will continue as an executive director and CEO, and Jason Ferris will continue as executive Chairman. Connected and ICU is currently recruiting appropriately qualified senior management to oversee the development, marketing and growth of the Group.

There is no assurance that such personnel will be secured and the contracts on which they will be secured will not be terminated or will be renewed on the expiry of their term. In addition, there is no assurance that Jason Ferris and Yakov Temov, or intended senior management would remain healthy and able to continue in their current roles. If such contracts were terminated or breached, or if the relevant Director and employees were no longer to continue in their current roles, Connected and ICU would need to employ alternative staff, and Connected’s and ICU’s operations and business would be adversely affected.

23

(e) Outsourcing

The Company, Connected and ICU outsource to consultants for expert advice and contract organisations for manufacturing services and research and development services. There is no guarantee that such experts or organisations will be available as required or will meet expectations.

(f) Customer Service Risk

Customers may need to engage with Connected’s and ICU’s customer service personnel in certain circumstances, such as if they have a question about the services or if there is a dispute between a customer and Connected or ICU. Connected and ICU need to recruit and retain staff with interpersonal skills sufficient to respond appropriately to customer services requests. Poor customer service experiences may result in the loss of customers. If Connected or ICU loses key customer service personnel, fails to provide adequate training and resources for customer service personnel, this could lead to adverse publicity, litigation, regulatory inquiries and/or a decrease in customers, all of which may negatively impact on Connected’s and ICU’s revenue.

(g) Risks Associated with the Regulatory Environment

Connected is based in United States and is subject to United States laws and regulations. ICU is based in Mauritius and is subject to Mauritian laws and regulations. If Connected and ICU expand into other markets, for example Germany, then Connected and ICU will be subject to German laws and regulations. Users, competitors, members of the general public or regulators could allege breaches of the legislation. This could result in remedial action or litigation, which could potentially lead to Connected or ICU being required to pay compensation or a fine. Connected’s or ICU’s operations may become subject to regulatory requirements, such as licensing and reporting obligations, which would increase the costs and resources associated with its regulatory compliance. Any such increase in the costs and resources associated with regulatory compliance could impact upon Connected’s and ICU’s profitability. In addition, if regulators took the view that Connected or ICU had failed to comply with regulatory requirements, this could lead to enforcement action resulting in public warnings, infringement notices or the imposition of a pecuniary penalty. This could lead to significant reputational damage to Connected and ICU and consequent impact upon their revenue.

(h) Liquidity and Dilution Risk

There are currently 2,395,053,092 Shares on issue (including the 4,000,000 Partly Paid Shares which are credited as fully paid and sold at the Public Auction), representing approximately 39,917,551 Shares on a post-Consolidation basis. Following the Consolidation, requotation of the Company’s Shares and the issue of all the Shares contemplated by the Resolutions, there will be between approximately 614,917,551 Shares (if $3,000,000 is raised from the public) and 689,917,551 Shares on issue (if $4,500,000 is raised from the public), assuming that the Performance Shares do not convert into Shares and no further Shares are issued. Between 24.39% and 32.61% of those Shares will be offered to the public pursuant to the Prospectus. A significant portion of the Shares on issue may also be subject to escrow restrictions imposed by the Listing Rules. Some investors may consider that there is an increased liquidity risk as a large portion of the issued capital may not be able to be traded freely for up to 24 months.

24

If the Class A Performance Shares convert into Shares upon Milestone A being achieved, then the total number of post-Consolidation Shares on issue will be between approximately 714,917,551 Shares (if $3,000,000 is raised from the public), and 789,917,551 Shares (if $4,500,000 is raised from the public). This assumes that no further Shares are issued.

If the Class B Performance Shares also convert into Shares upon Milestone B being achieved, then the total number of post-Consolidation Shares on issue will be between approximately 764,917,551 Shares (if $3,000,000 is raised from the public), and 839,917,551 Shares (if $4,500,000 is raised from the public). This assumes that no further Shares are issued.

The following table summarises the percentages by which the shareholdings of the Existing Shareholders will be diluted in each of these scenarios:

(i) Future Capital Needs

Further funding may be required by Connected and ICU to support ongoing activities and operations. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of Connected and ICU and consequently their performance.

(j)

Liability Claims

Connected and ICU may be exposed to liability claims if their services are provided in fault and/or cause harm to its customers. As a result, Connected and ICU may have to expend significant financial and managerial resources to defend against such claims. If a successful claim is made against Connected or ICU, Connected or ICU may be fined or sanctioned and their reputation and brand may be negatively impacted, which could materially and adversely affect its reputation, business prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

25

(k) Foreign Exchange Risks

As Connected has costs and expenses in the United States of America they will likely be denominated in US$. Accordingly, the depreciation and/or the appreciation of the US$ relative to the Australian currency would result in a translation loss on consolidation which is taken directly to shareholder equity. Any depreciation of the US$ relative to the Australian currency may result in lower than anticipated revenue, profit and earning. Connected could be affected on an ongoing basis by foreign exchange risks between the Australian dollar and the US$, and will have to monitor this risk on an ongoing basis.

If ICU has costs and expenses in Mauritius they will likely be denominated in Mauritian Rupee (MUR). Accordingly, the depreciation and/or the appreciation of the MUR relative to the Australian currency would result in a translation loss on consolidation which is taken directly to shareholder equity. Any depreciation of the MUR relative to the Australian currency may result in lower than anticipated revenue, profit and earning. ICU could be affected on an ongoing basis by foreign exchange risks between the Australian dollar and the MUR, and will have to monitor this risk on an ongoing basis.

(l) Low Barriers to Entry

There are relatively low barriers to entry in the field of next generation wireless technology and the market is experiencing the emergence of providers of these services. Potential risks relate to other providers of these services operating on a lower cost basis placing pressure on Connected’s and ICU’s prices.

(m) Insurance Coverage

Connected and ICU face various risks in connection with its business and may lack adequate insurance coverage or may not have the relevant insurance coverage. Connected and ICU maintain insurance coverage for their employees (as required by law the relevant jurisdictions) as well as insurance coverage for management liability, corporate liability, employment practices liability, crime protection and statutory liability. However, Connected and ICU do not maintain insurance against various other liabilities. If Connected or ICU incur substantial losses or liabilities and its insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate to cover such losses or liabilities, their financials may be adversely affected.

(n) Commercialisation Risk

There is a risk that Connected and ICU will not be able to further successfully commercialize or sell their products, or be unable to attract further customers to be sufficiently profitable to fund future operations.

26

(o) Intellectual property protection

Connected and ICU do not own any licenced intellectual property. The intellectual property in the Machine Connect is owned by Verizon Wireless, however Verizon Wireless has granted a non-exclusive licence to the Connected Group to exploit the Machine Connect hardware, software and mechanical design. The possible future commercial success of the Products may depend on the ability to obtain and maintain patent protection and there is no guarantee that the claims and applications would be successful. The defence and prosecution of intellectual property rights are costly and time consuming and their outcome is uncertain.

(p) Partnerships

The commercial strategy for products which may be derived from IoT markets potentially includes forming partnerships with other companies that have the ability to effectively commercialise next generation wireless technology products in key economic markets and there is no assurance that suitable partnerships will be secured or maintained, or that products can be commercialised. For example, the Machine Connect product was developed by the Connected Group M2M technology, in partnership with Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless retained the intellectual property in the Machine Connect product, however granted a nonexclusive licence to the Connected Group to exploit the Machine Connect hardware, software and mechanical design. That licence expires in 2018, and can also be terminated by Verizon prior to then. Connected Group must therefore maintain its relationship with Verizon Wireless to ensure that the licence continues in force and that Verizon continues to refer customers to Connected Group.

(q)

Competition

The IoT industry is highly competitive and other corporations may commercialise products that may compete with the Products.

27

2. GENERAL MEETING

2.1 Action to be taken by Shareholders

In order to proceed with the acquisition of Connected and ICU, the Company must convene a general meeting of its Shareholders for the purpose of passing the Resolutions in compliance with the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

This Notice convening the General Meeting is included in the front of this booklet. Shareholders are encouraged to attend and vote in favour of each of the Resolutions to be put to the General Meeting.

If a Shareholder is unable to attend and vote at the General Meeting, the Shareholder is encouraged to complete the Proxy Form at the back of this booklet and return it to the Company by no later than 10.00am (WST) on 19 December 2015.

2.2 Resolutions

There are 14 Resolutions to be put to the General Meeting, with Resolutions 2 to 14 inclusive being ordinary resolutions and Resolution 1 being a special resolution. Each Resolution relates to the acquisition of Connected and ICU and is conditional on the passing of each of the other Resolutions so that the Resolutions will not have any effect unless all the Resolutions are passed. Accordingly, Shareholders should consider the Resolutions collectively, as well as individually.

Certain voting restrictions are imposed in relation to the Resolutions as detailed in the Notice under the “voting exclusion statement” section. This section 2 sets out a brief explanation of each Resolution.

2.3 Resolution 1 – Conversion to a public company limited by shares, change of name, repeal of existing constitution and adoption of a new constitution

Subject to the passing of Resolutions 2 to 14 (inclusive), Resolution 1 is a special resolution that proposes to convert the Company from a public no liability company to a public company limited by shares, change the Company’s name from “Leopard Resources NL” to “G8 Communications Ltd”, repeal the Company’s existing Constitution and adopt a new Constitution.

Conversion to a public company limited by shares

Section 162 of the Corporations Act provides that, where all of the issued shares of a company are fully paid up, that company may change from a public no liability company to a public company limited by shares by passing a special resolution resolving to so change its status.

As a result of the Proposed Transaction the Company will change its nature from a mineral exploration company to a next generation wireless technology company. As a result, the Company is required to convert its shares from a public no liability company to public company limited by shares as the Company’s sole objects will no longer be mining purposes. Conversion to a public company limited by shares will simplify the Company’s capital structure. Public companies limited by shares are the most common type of company listed on ASX. Also, Directors believe that, in changing to a public company limited by shares, the Company’s ability to raise capital and pursue its business development objectives will be enhanced as a result of having a capital structure that is more readily understood by potential investors and their advisers.

28

Formerly the main advantage for a no liability company was the ability to issue shares at below par value. The concept of par value no longer exists and this advantage is no longer material.

On 17 September 2015, the Company made a call on its remaining 4,000,000 Partly Paid Shares on issue. On 21 October 2015, the Partly Paid Shares were deemed forfeited. On 11 November 2015, the Company held the Public Auction of the forfeited Partly Paid Shares, which were sold credited as fully paid.

Differences between a no liability company and a company limited by shares

The principal difference between a no liability company and a company limited by shares is that a shareholder of a no liability company has no obligation to pay calls on their shares, although their shares are liable to be forfeited if they do not do so.

In contrast, a shareholder of a company limited by shares has a contractual obligation to pay any amount unpaid on their shares in the event of a call of the unpaid amount, and may be sued if they fail to pay such a call.

Current shareholders, all of whom hold fully paid shares, have no obligation to contribute further funds to the Company. If the Company did offer partly paid shares for subscription the maximum liability of the holders of such shares would be the amount unpaid on the shares.

The change from a no liability company to a company limited by shares will not affect the Company’s existing property, rights or obligations.

Procedure for changing company type

The procedure for conversion of the Company to a company limited by shares is set out in sections 162, 163 and 164 of the Corporations Act. The proposed conversion must be approved by shareholders by special resolution. A copy of the special resolution must be lodged with ASIC within 14 days after its passage. Notice of ASIC’s intention to alter the details of the Company’s registration must be included in ASIC’s database and published in the ASIC Gazette. Subject to an order of the Court or the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, ASIC must alter the details of the Company’s registration to reflect the change in the Company’s status to a public company limited by shares, one month after the gazette notice has been published.

The change will not take effect until four weeks after notice of the change has been published in the ASIC Gazette.

Change of name

The change of the Company’s status from a no liability company to a company limited by shares contemplated by Resolution 1, requires that the Company change its name to remove “NL” and to include “Limited”. The Company also wishes to change its name from “Leopard Resources Limited” to “G8 Communications Limited” to reflect the Company’s change in direction.

Pursuant to section 157 of the Corporations Act a company may change its name by a special resolution of shareholders.

New constitution

The proposed change of the Company’s type from a public no liability company to a public company limited by shares also requires the adoption of a new constitution suited

29

to the altered status. The proposed change of the status of the Company from a no liability company to a company limited by shares is best served by a modern constitution best suited to a company limited by shares.

A summary of the material differences between the Company’s existing constitution and the proposed new constitution is set out below. As required by ASX Listing Rule 15.3, the proposed new constitution has been approved by ASX.

A fully copy of the proposed new constitution is available to shareholders free of charge, on request. You can obtain a copy of the new constitution at the Company’s registered office at

32 Barker Road SUBIACO 6008

by calling the Company Secretary on (08) 9389 5885.

Shareholders should review the terms of the proposed new constitution carefully and, if you have any queries, seek the advice of your legal or financial adviser.

Principal aspects of the proposed new constitution

The proposed new constitution is in a usual and standard form for a constitution of a modern public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Apart from ensuring the Company’s constitution is up-to-date and complies with all statutory and regulatory requirements, the proposed new constitution has been drafted to provide optimal flexibility by ensuring so far as possible that it does not impose restrictions beyond those required by the Corporations Act or Listing Rules, including any future changes to the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rules.

Material changes to the current constitution

Most importantly, the proposed new constitution incorporates provisions reflecting the Company’s proposed new status as a public company limited by shares.

The proposed new constitution does not:

  1. grant any additional benefits to Directors or any other related parties without the approval of shareholders;

  2. affect the rights of any class of shareholders; or

  3. reduce any material rights or entitlements of shareholders.

The principal changes the new constitution will make to the current constitution are as follows:

  1. Performance Shares: At present, the Company’s only classes of securities on issue are ordinary Shares and Partly Paid Shares. The Company wishes to create new classes of securities with the introduction of Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares as contemplated by Resolution 4. Clause 2.2 of the new Constitution provides for the issue of Performance Shares. A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Class A Performance Shares are set out in Annexure B and a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to Class B Performance Shares are set out in Annexure C.

30

  1. Mining Purposes: At present, the sole purposes for which the Company is established are mining purposes. The Company wishes to change its activities from mining exploration to next generation wireless technology as contemplated by Resolution 3.

Mr Jason Ferris expresses no opinion and makes no recommendation in respect of Resolution 1 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 1.

Other than as set out above, each of the Directors has no interest in the outcome of Resolution 1 other than as Existing Shareholders. Each of them recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2.4 Resolution 2 – Capital Consolidation

Subject to the passing of Resolutions 1 and 3 to 14 (inclusive), Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution that proposes that the issued capital of the Company be altered by consolidating the Existing Shares on a 1 for 60 basis. The Record Date for determining the Consolidation of capital will be five (5) Business Days after the date of the General Meeting at which the Resolution is passed. Any fractional entitlements as a result of holdings not being evenly divisible by 60 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Section 254H of the Corporations Act

Section 254H of the Corporations Act enables a company to convert all of its ordinary securities into a smaller number of securities by a resolution passed at a general meeting. The conversion proposed by Resolution 2 is permitted under section 254H of the Corporations Act.

The Consolidation will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of Existing Shareholders of the Company. The purpose of the Consolidation of the existing issued capital of the Company is to reduce the number of existing shares on issue, which is considered to be a more appropriate capital structure for the Company going forward, and to enable the Company to satisfy Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and obtain requotation of the Shares on ASX. For example, a Shareholder currently holding 600,000 Shares in the Company will as a result of the Consolidation hold 10,000 Shares.

The Company’s balance sheet and tax position will remain unaltered as a result of the Consolidation. However, the Company’s issued capital shall be reduced to approximately 39,917,551 Shares (subject to rounding) as a result of the Consolidation set out below (which also includes the Partly Paid Shares which will be credited as fully paid Shares upon being sold at the Public Auction).

(a) Shares

At the date of the Explanatory Statement, the Company has 2,395,053,092 Existing Shares on issue (which also includes the 4,000,000 Partly Paid Shares which will be credited as fully paid Shares upon being sold at the Public Auction). The Consolidation on a 1 for 60 basis will reduce the number of fully paid Shares on issue to approximately 39,917,551 Shares (with fractional Shares being rounded down to the nearest whole Share).

31

(b) Holding Statements

Following the Consolidation, all holding statements for Existing Shares will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Shares (on a post- Consolidation basis).

After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares to be issued to Shareholders. It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to check the number of Shares held prior to disposal.

(c)

Timetable for Consolidation

If Resolutions 1 to 14 (inclusive) are passed, the Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following timetable (as set out in Appendix 7A, paragraph 8, of the Listing Rules):

Event Anticipated Date
Company notifies ASX that Shareholders have approved
the Consolidation.
21 December 2015
(Business Day 0)
Trading would normally commence in the reorganised
Shares on a deferred settlement basis.
23 December 2015
(Business Day 2)
Last day for the Company to register transfers on a pre-
Consolidation basis.
29 December 2015
(Business Day 4)
Securities registered on a post-Consolidation basis. 30 December 2015
(Business Day 5)
Dispatch of new holding statements for consolidated
shares.
6 January 2015
(Business Day 9)

The above dates are indicative only and are subject to change.

Recommendation

Mr Jason Ferris expresses no opinion and makes no recommendation in respect of Resolution 1 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 1.

Other than as set out above, each of the Directors has no interest in the outcome of Resolution 1 other than as Existing Shareholders. Each of them recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Directors consider that the Consolidation on a 1 for 60 basis is appropriate because, as noted in section 10.3 of the Independent Expert’s Report, the Independent Expert considers the value of a Share prior to the Proposed Transaction to be nil.

2.5 Resolution 3 – Change in nature and scale of activities of the Company

Subject to the passing of Resolutions 1, 2 and 4 to 14 (inclusive), Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution which seeks approval for the change of the Company’s nature and scale of activities as a result of the acquisition of Connected and ICU.

32

Listing Rule 11.1 provides that where an entity proposes to make a significant change, either directly or indirectly, to the nature and scale of its activities, it must provide full details to ASX as soon as practicable. Listing Rule 11.1.2 provides, that, if ASX requires, the entity must get the approval of Shareholders and must comply with any requirements of ASX in relation to the Notice of Meeting.

ASX has indicated to the Company that it has exercised its discretion to require the Company to seek the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 11.1.2 for a change in the nature of its activities. For this reason, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the Company to change the nature of its activities under Listing Rule 11.1.1.

As a consequence of the change to the Company's nature and scale of activities, it is required to recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. Listing Rule 2.1 Condition 2 requires that the offer price of securities, are a minimum of 20 cents. The Company has received a waiver from Listing Rule 2.1 Condition 2 to allow the Company offer securities for $0.02.

Intentions as to the future of the Company

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Explanatory Statement and changes pursuant to the Proposed Transaction and the Resolutions, the Company understands that the Vendors and their associates:

  • (a) have no current intention of making any changes to the business of the Company following the acquisition of Connected and ICU except as outlined in this Explanatory Statement or agreed to in the Company’s plans for the business following the acquisition of Connected and ICU as set out in the Prospectus;

  • (b)

  • do not propose to inject further capital into the Company;

  • (c) intend to change Company Secretary and providers of administration services to the Company to Trident Capital (including the proposed changes to the Board, as described in section 1.15);

  • (d) do not propose that any assets be transferred from the Company to Connected, ICU, the Vendors or their Associates; and

  • (e) have no intention to otherwise re-deploy the fixed assets of the Company.

Financial and dividend policies of the Company

There is no immediate intention of the Existing Directors or the Vendors to change the financial or dividend policies of the Company.

Proposal is fair and reasonable

The report of the Independent Expert concludes that the proposed issue of Shares pursuant to Resolutions 4, 7 and 9 and the Proposed Transaction described in this Explanatory Statement, is fair and reasonable to non-associated Shareholders. Shareholders are urged to consider the Independent Expert’s Report in detail (see Annexure E).

Recommendation

Mr Jason Ferris expresses no opinion and makes no recommendation in respect of the potential issue of the Consideration Shares contemplated under Resolution 3 and as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3.

33

Other than as set out above, each of the Directors has no interest in the outcome of Resolution 3 other than as Existing Shareholders. Each of them recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Shareholders should refer to the information in section 1.3 for information about the acquisition of Connected and ICU and its impact on the Company.

2.6 Resolution 4 – Issue of Vendor Consideration Securities

Subject to the passing of Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) and Resolutions 5 to 14 (inclusive), Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution which seeks the approval for the issue of 200,000,000 Consideration Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis), 100,000,000 Class A Performance Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) and 50,000,000 Class B Performance Shares to the Vendors, as consideration for the Proposed Transaction, as summarised in section 1.6.

The terms of the Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares are included at Annexure B and Annexure C of this Explanatory Statement.

The Consideration Shares, Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares proposed to be issued to the Vendors under Resolution 4 will be issued under the Prospectus.

Section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act

The Vendors may be considered Associates of one another as a consequence of participating in the Proposed Transaction and agreeing to sell their shares in Connected and ICU to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, G8I. Accordingly, the Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act for the purposes of section 606 of the Corporations Act because, at the time of issue to the Vendors of the Consideration Shares, Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares under Resolution 4, the issue of the KGV Loan Consideration Shares to KGV under Resolution 7 and the issue of the Connected Noteholder Shares to Cocoon under Resolution 9, the Vendors, Cocoon, KGV, Willis Holdings Limited and Maraval Investments LLC may be considered Associates of one another and it is anticipated that, assuming that the Performance Shares convert into Shares, they will hold Voting Power in the Company between approximately 55.26% (assuming that $4,500,000 is raised under the Capital Raising) and 60.68% (assuming that $3,000,000 is raised under the Capital Raising).

In accordance with Appendix 9B of the Listing Rules, some of the Consideration Shares, Class A Performance Shares and Class B Performance Shares issued under Resolution 4 may be classified by the ASX as “restricted securities” and unable to be traded for periods of up to 24 months.

Listing Rule 10.11

Unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, Listing Rule 10.11 requires that an entity must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party of the Company unless it obtains prior Shareholder approval. KGV is controlled by Robert Nelson, the father-in-law of Jason Ferris, a Director of the Company. KGV is therefore a Related Party of the Company. KGV has directed that its Consideration Shares and Performance Shares to be issued to KGV as a Vendor be issued to Cocoon Capital Investment Limited as KGV’s nominee. Cocoon is also controlled by Robert Nelson, the father-in-law of Jason Ferris, a Director of the Company. Cocoon is also therefore a

34

Related Party of the Company. As a result, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is required for the purposes of Resolution 4.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in section 4.3 below.

If Resolution 4 is passed, securities will be issued to KGV which is a Related Parties of the Company. Accordingly approval for the proposed issue of the Vendor Consideration Securities to KGV is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a Notice of Meeting proposing an approval of an issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (i) the entities to which the Company will issue the securities under Resolution 4 are:

  • (A) Yakov Temov (and/or his nominees);

  • (B) Cocoon as the nominee of KGV as trustee for the Rhythmical Trust; and

  • (C) Wen Sung (and/or her nominees);

  • (ii) the maximum number of securities to be issued by the Company under Resolution 4 to:

  • (A) Yakov Temov is 46,000,000 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis), 34,550,000 Class A Performance Shares and 17,275,000 Class B Performance Shares;

  • (B) Cocoon as the nominee of KGV as trustee for the Rhythmical Trust is 108,000,000 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis), 45,900,000 Class A Performance Shares and 22,950,000 Class B Performance Shares; and

  • (C) Wen Sung is 46,000,000 Shares, 19,550,000 Class A Performance Shares and 9,775,000 Class B Performance Shares;

  • (iii) the securities to be issued under Resolution 4 will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the General Meeting (subject to obtaining the necessary waiver from the ASX under the Listing Rules), and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;

  • (iv) KGV and Cocoon are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being controlled by Robert Nelson, the father-in-law of Jason Ferris, a Director of the Company;

  • (v) No funds will be raised from the issue of the securities under Resolution 4 as they will be issued as consideration for the Proposed Transaction, as summarised in section 1.6;

  • (vi) the Consideration Shares (excluding the Class A Performance Share and Class B Performance Shares) issued to will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, issued on the same terms and

35

conditions as the Company’s Existing Shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Existing Shares;

  • (vii) Milestone A will be achieved upon the Company and its subsidiaries achieving aggregated gross revenue of $15,000,000 in any of the financial years ending on 31 December 2016, 2017 or 2018, following recompliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. Full terms of the Class A Performance Shares are set out in Annexure B; and

  • (viii) Milestone B will be achieved upon the Company and its subsidiaries achieving aggregated gross revenue of $25,000,000 in any of the financial years ending on 31 December 2016, 2017 or 2018, following recompliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. Full terms of the Class B Performance Shares are set out in Annexure C.

It is noted that, given Connected Group’s limited trading history, and given that its business is largely unproven, it is difficult to make an evaluation of the Group’s business or its prospects or its potential revenues. However, to assist Shareholders to assess the reasonableness of the proposed Milestones, please refer to the historical revenue as shown in the Independent Expert’s Report as follows:

  • figure 6.4 on page 17 (Historical Statement of Comprehensive Income of Connected) showing revenue of:

  • $529,046 for the period ended 31 July 2015;

  • $372,057 for the year ended 31 December 2014; and

  • $13,500 for the year ended 31 December 2013; and

  • figure 6.6 on page 19 (Historical Statement of Comprehensive Income of ICU) which only shows nominal income for the period ending 31 July 2015 and the year ended 31 December 2014.

Restricted Securities

In addition, in accordance with Appendix 9B of the Listing Rules, it is expected that part or all of the Shares and Performance Shares issued to Vendors under Resolution 4 will be classified by the ASX as “restricted securities” and unable to be traded for up to 24 months from the date the Company’s re-quotation on ASX.

Recommendation by Directors

Mr Jason Ferris expresses no opinion and makes no recommendation in respect of the potential issue of the Consideration Shares contemplated under Resolution 4 and as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4.

Other than as set out above, each of the Directors has no interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 other than as Existing Shareholders. Each of them recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

2.7 Resolution 5 – Issue of Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising

Subject to the passing of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) and 6 to 14 (inclusive), Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution which seeks approval for the issue of up to 225,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per share to raise $4,500,000 under the Prospectus, with a minimum subscription of $3,000,000.

36

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

(a) Maximum number of securities the entity is to issue

The maximum number of securities to be issued by the Company under Resolution 5 is 225,000,000 Shares.

(b) Date by which the entity will issue the securities

The Shares will be issued no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules), and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date.

(c) Issue price of the securities

The issue price of each Share will be $0.02, subject to ASX approval.

(d) Names of the persons to whom the entity will issue the securities (if known) or basis upon which those persons will be identified or selected

Participants in the Capital Raising will be members of the public who are not Related Parties of the Company being applicants under a Prospectus. The successful applicants will be determined at the sole discretion of the Company.

(e) Terms of the securities

The Shares are ordinary fully paid shares and will rank equally in respect with the Existing Shares (post-Consolidation).

(f) Intended use of the funds raised

The intended use of the funds raised is set out at section 1.16.

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rules 7.3 and 14.11 a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

2.8 Resolution 6 – Issue of Facilitation Shares to Trident Capital and Bonarc

Subject to the passing of Resolutions 1 to 5 (inclusive) and 7 to 14 (inclusive), Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution and seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 15,000,000 Facilitation Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) to Trident Capital (and/or its nominee(s)) and 5,000,000 (and/or its nominee(s)) Facilitation Shares (on a postConsolidation basis) to Bonarc (and/or its nominee(s)) under the Prospectus.

The Company has agreed to pay a facilitation fee to Trident Capital and Bonarc for facilitating the Proposed Transaction. The facilitation fee payable to Trident Capital is to be satisfied via the issue of 15,000,000 Facilitation Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) to Trident Capital pursuant to Resolution 6. The facilitation fee payable to Bonarc is to be satisfied via the issue of 5,000,000 Facilitation Shares to Bonarc (on a postConsolidation basis).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

37

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company to issue 15,000,000 Shares to Trident Capital and 5,000,000 Shares to Bonarc during the 3 month months after the General Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information in relation to the proposed issue of securities to Trident Capital and Bonarc:

(a) Maximum number of Securities issued

Entity Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis)

Bonarc (and/or its nominee(s)) 5,000,000

(b) Date

The Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

(d) Recipients of the issued Securities

Entity Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis)
Trident Capital (and/or its nominee(s)) 15,000,000
Bonarc (and/or its nominee(s)) 5,000,000

The proposed issue of 90,000,000 KGV Loan Consideration Shares (on a postConsolidation basis) to KGV constitutes a “financial benefit” as defined in the Corporations Act. Furthermore, KGV is a “Related Party” of the Company as defined under the Corporations Act. Accordingly the proposed issue of Shares to KGV pursuant to Resolution 7 will constitute the provision of a financial benefit to a Related Party of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions under the Corporations Act to the provision of a financial benefit to a Related Party may not apply in the current circumstances. The Directors have determined to seek Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act to permit the issue of the securities to KGV on the terms set out in Resolution 7.

  • (v) KGV and its Associates currently have an interest in 457,957,991 Shares in the Company;

  • (vi) If Shareholders approve the issue of Shares to KGV, then the dilutionary effect of those issues on the shareholdings of Existing Shareholders is shown in the table below. However, because all the Resolutions are inter-conditional, Shareholders should also consider the full dilutionary effects of the Proposed Transaction as outlined in section 1.17(h).

Note: The figure in the table is based on the number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Notice of General Meeting, and does not take into account the issue of any other Shares contemplated by the Resolutions.

  • (vii) ASIC requires explanatory information to be provided to Shareholders regarding the value of the financial benefit proposed to be granted. As noted in section 10.3 of the Independent Expert’s Report, the Independent Expert considers the value of a Share prior to the Proposed Transaction to be nil, however the actual value of the Shares to be issued to Glamour will depend upon the market price of the Company’s Shares after the Company recomplies with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules;

Other than as set out above, each of the Directors, has no interest in the outcome of Resolution 7, other than as Existing Shareholders. Each of them recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

The Directors (other than Mr Jason Ferris) believe that the number of Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 7 are commercial for the Company in light of the minimal dilutionary effect and the preservations of the Company’s cash, described above and recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

Notes:

  • 1 All the share numbers are on a post-Consolidation basis.

  • 2 The Voting Power is based upon the total number of shares on issue being between approximately 764,917,551 Shares (if $3,000,000 if raised under the Capital Raising) and approximately 839,917,551 Shares (if $4,500,000 is raised under the Capital Raising), both on a post-Consolidation basis (and subject to any fractional Shares being rounded down). This also assumes that the 4,000,000 Partly Paid Shares will be credited as fully paid, and that the Performance Shares, Leopard Notes and Connected Notes all convert into Shares.

  • 3 The Shares which have been aggregated for KGV and its associates for the purposes of this notice of meeting include the 5,305,753 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) held by Willis Holdings Limited, the 2,326,879 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) held by Maraval Investments LLC, the 108,000,000 Consideration Shares, 45,900,000 Class A Performance Shares and 22,950,000 Class B Performance Shares to be issued to Cocoon under Resolution 4 (at the direction of KGV), the 90,000,000 KGV Loan Consideration Shares to be issued to KGV under Resolution 7 and the 16,500,000 Connected Noteholder Shares to be issued to Cocoon under Resolution 9. Willis Nominees Limited and Maraval Investments LLC do not consider that they are Associates of each other, nor of Cocoon or KGV. However, for the purposes of obtaining shareholder approval for the Proposed Transaction under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, these entities (together with the other Vendors) are being treated as Associates of each other.

The Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position is provided for illustrative purposes and is prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of applicable Australian Accounting Standards on the assumption that the Proposed Transaction occurred on 30 June 2015.

A summary of the significant accounting policies of the Company is disclosed in the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2015, available on ASX’s website at www.asx.com.au or on the “Investor Centre” section of the Company’s website at www.leopardresources.com.au .

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the business purpose of the Company will have changed to that of the Merged Group resulting in the need to consider and/or adopt new accounting policies.

No adjustments have been made in the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position for any expected synergies or integration costs following the completion of the Proposed Transaction. Nor have any adjustments been made in the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position for any one-off or non-recurring costs, other than those set out in the pro forma adjustments.

  • Basis of preparation The pro forma statement of financial position has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement, but not all the disclosure requirements of the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘AIFRS’), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. The pro forma statement of financial position is also prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historic costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, current valuations of non-current assets.

  • Adjustment 1 The acquisition accounting has been determined under AASB 3: Business Combinations. The fair value of the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed by LRR have been determined for the purposes of the pro-forma adjustments based on preliminary fair value estimates as at 31 July 2015. 54% of the Consideration Shares have been issued to acquire ICU which have been valued using an underlying share price of $0.02 per share. Therefore the total value assigned to the Consideration Shares is $2.16 million. No value has been applied to the Class A or Class B Performance Shares as ICU has a limited trading history and the probability of achieving these milestones cannot be ascertained with a reasonable degree of certainty.

  • Adjustment 2 The acquisition accounting has been determined under AASB 3: Business Combinations. The fair value of the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed by LRR have been determined for the purposes of the pro-forma adjustments based on preliminary fair value estimates as at 31 July 2015. 46% of the Consideration Shares have been issued to acquire Connected which have been valued using an underlying share price of $0.02 per share. Therefore the total value assigned to the Consideration Shares is $1.84 million. No value has been applied to the Class A or Class B Performance Shares as Connected has a limited trading history and the probability of achieving these milestones cannot be ascertained with a reasonable degree of certainty.

  • Adjustment 2 Completion of capital raising of $3 million based on the minimum subscription or $4.5 million based on the maximum subscription less proposed costs of the Offer totalling $329,500.

  • Adjustment 4 Cash raised from the issue of Convertible Notes in LRR. A total of $1 million was raised via the issue of convertible notes which subsequently converts into 100 million ordinary shares in LRR at a conversion price of $0.01.

  • Adjustment 5 LRR has an amount of $600,000 payable to Bonarc Pty Ltd. The Company has agreed to repay $300,000 in cash from proceeds from the capital raising and issue 15 million shares in satisfaction of the remaining $300,000 outstanding.

Adjustment 6 The Company will issue 15 million shares to Trident Capital and 5 million shares to Bonarc in consideration for services performed in relation to the Proposed Transaction.

Adjustment 7 The Company will issue 90 million shares to KGV in satisfaction of the total loan outstanding between KGV and ICU.
