4. Ratification of Previous Share Issues

a) Resolution 6: approve the August 2014 issue of 7,490,637 shares

Resolution 6 seeks shareholder ratification of the 15 August 2014 issue of 7,490,637 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.0267 per share pursuant to a convertible securities agreement with US based institutional investor Bergen Global Opportunity Fund II LLC.

The purpose of the issue of the convertible security was to raise capital for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Subject to certain exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities in any 12 months period which amount to more than 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that period without shareholder approval.

Provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval. Subsequent approval to the private placement by shareholders will “refresh” the Company’s ability to issue shares up to the 15% limit without further shareholder approval.

6

The Company seeks shareholder ratification of the issue of shares under the private placement so that the Company will have flexibility to issue further securities should the need or opportunity arise.

In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to shareholders to allow them to assess Resolution 6:

  • a) A total number of 7,490,637 shares were allotted and issued.

  • b) The shares were issued at an issue price of $0.0267 per share.

  • c) The placement was an “excluded offer” to Bergen Global Opportunity Fund II LLC pursuant to a convertible securities agreement.

  • d) The shares were fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

  • e) Funds raised by the issue of shares pursuant to the convertible securities agreement have been used for working capital requirements.

  • f) A Voting Exclusion Statement has been included for the purpose of Resolution 6.

b)

Resolution 7: approve the February 2015 issue of 47,281,324 shares

Resolution 7 seeks shareholder ratification of the 6 February 2015 issue of 47,281,324 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.00423 per share pursuant to a convertible securities agreement with US based institutional investor Bergen Global Opportunity Fund II LLC.

The purpose of the issue of the convertible security was to raise capital for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Subject to certain exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities in any 12 months period which amount to more than 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that period without shareholder approval.

Provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval. Subsequent approval to the private placement by shareholders will “refresh” the Company’s ability to issue shares up to the 15% limit without further shareholder approval.

The Company seeks shareholder ratification of the issue of shares under the private placement so that the Company will have flexibility to issue further securities should the need or opportunity arise.

In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to shareholders to allow them to assess Resolution 7:

  • a) A total number of 47,281,324 shares were allotted and issued.

  • b) The shares were issued at an issue price of $0.00423 per share.

  • c) The placement was an “excluded offer” to Bergen Global Opportunity Fund II LLC pursuant to a convertible securities agreement.

  • d) The shares were fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

  • e) Funds raised by the issue of shares pursuant to the convertible securities agreement have been used for working capital requirements.

  • f) A Voting Exclusion Statement has been included for the purpose of Resolution 7.

5. Resolution 8 –Special Resolution to Approve an Additional 10% Placement Facility

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing equity securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any twelve month period without obtaining shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions).

However, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, a company can seek shareholder approval to allow up to an additional 10% capacity to issue the same class as existing quoted class of securities over a twelve month period after an annual general meeting.

7

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. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The Company has previously sought approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. If Resolution 6 is approved as a special resolution then the Company, within 12 months after shareholder approval, may issue an additional 10% equity securities calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which is as follows:

( A x D ) – E where

  • A = the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:

  • a) plus the number fully paid ordinary shares issued in the last 12 months under an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • b) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid within the last 12 months;

  • c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 (this does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the equity’s 15% capacity without shareholder approval);

  • d) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

D = 10%

  • E = the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

The following information is provided to shareholders for the purposes of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.3A:

  • a) The minimum price at which equity securities can be issued will be calculated in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 which states the issue price of each equity security must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for equity securities in that class calculated over the 15 days trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price at which equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • if the equity securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.

  • b) If Resolution 8 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, existing shareholders voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below under point c). There is a risk that:

  • 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 this approval under rule 7.1A; and

  • 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 the acquisition of a new asset;

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

8

  • c) As at the date of this Notice, the Company would have capacity to issue:

  • 45,7896,865 (305,265,769 x 15%) ordinary shares on the basis that Resolutions 4 and 5 are approved pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1; or

  • 0 (250,493,808 x 15% - ( 54,771,961) ordinary shares if Resolutions 6 and 7 are not approved pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 30,526,577 (305,265,769 x 10%) ordinary shares on the basis that Resolutions 6 and 7 are approved pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; or

  • 25,049,381 (250,493,808 x 10%) shares if Resolutions 6 and 7 are not approved pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • d) The below table shows examples of possible dilution of existing shareholders, on the basis of the market price of $0.004 per share on 05 March 2015 and the current number of fully-paid ordinary shares on issue of 305,265,769 as at the date of this Notice pursuant to the definition of variable “A” under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;

This table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • all shares have been issued;

  • 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.

  • the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • the table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

e) Shareholder approval of the additional 10% as per ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained. This approval will cease on the earlier to occur of:

9

  • the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is gained; or

  • the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2(disposal of main undertaking).

  • f) The Company may seek to issue the equity securities for the following purposes:

  • non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • cash consideration. As disclosed in recent ASX announcements and reports, the company is actively pursuing further growth opportunities. Any funds raised using this additional 10% capacity may be used to grow the business and / or additional working capital to fund growth opportunities.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A (4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities.

The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility.

The identity of the allottees of 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 security holders 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 broker advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under this facility have not been determined as at the date of this notice but may include new or existing shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

g) The Company has previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6 (a) requires total number of equity securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting, and the percentage they represent of the total number of equity securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. At the commencement of the preceding 12 month period the Company had the following securities on issue:

  • Ordinary Shares

  • Options

  • Unquoted Options

ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6 (b) requires that entities provide details of issues of all equity securities (quoted and unquoted) made in the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting. This extends to issues of equity securities made under listing rules 7.1, 10.11 and 10.14, even if the issues were made with prior security-holder approval or have since been ratified. Please find below details of securities that have been issued in the preceding 12 month period:

i) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for the purpose of Resolution 8.

Voting Information: Voting Entitlement at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001.

For the purpose of determining a person's entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting, a person will be recognised as a member of the Company and the holder of shares if that person is registered as a holder of those shares at 5.00 pm Sydney time on 26 May 2015, being within 48 hours prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting.

Votes of Members

On a show of hands, each member present in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a body corporate, by a representative) at the Annual General Meeting shall have one vote.

12

On a poll, every member present in person or by attorney or by proxy (or, in the case of a body corporate, by a representative) shall have one vote for each share held provided that all shares are fully paid.

Voting

Please note that for a resolution to be passed, except where otherwise indicated, a simple majority of votes from shareholders attending in person or voting by proxy is required.

Amendments to proxy voting

Shareholders are advised that the Federal government has introduced the Corporations Amendment (improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Cth) (the CA Act ), which came into effect on 1 July 2011. The CA Act introduced new prohibitions on Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties from voting their shares (or voting undirected proxies) on, amongst other things, remuneration matters.

However, the chair of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (ie. a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted), provided the shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given informed consent, in the form of an express voting direction to the chair to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel ( Informed Consent ).

In light of these legislative requirements, the Company recommends that shareholders consider the following options to ensure the validity of their votes:

  • a) that shareholders direct proxies on a remuneration related resolution instead of leaving them undirected; or

  • b) that shareholders nominate a proxy who is not a member of Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties to vote on a remuneration related resolution; or

  • c) that shareholders who wish to vest their undirected proxies in the chair on a remuneration related resolution ensure that they follow instructions provided on the proxy form in order to provide Informed Consent.
