5. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – SHARES

5.1 General

On 9 October 2007, the Company issued 3,000,000 Shares to Australian investor clients of Indian Ocean Capital Pty Ltd.

The subscribers pursuant to this issue were not related parties of the Company.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares (Share Ratification).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Share Ratification:

  • (a) 3,000,000 Shares were allotted on 9 October 2007;

  • (b) the issue price was $0.20 per Share;

5

Graynic Metals Limited ACN 112 898 825 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  • (d) the Shares were allotted and issued to Australian investor clients of Indian Ocean Capital Pty Ltd; and

  • (e) the funds raised from this issue were used to undertake exploration and development of a number of projects owned by the Company. A strategic review of a number of potential projects to acquire was also undertaken and continues to be undertaken this year.
