Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of Cullen Resources Limited (“Cullen”) in connection with the business to be transacted at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders of Cullen to be held at Regus , Level 34,AMP Tower, 50 Bridge Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 on 21 November 2014 at 11.00am, Eastern Standard Daylight Time.

The Directors recommend shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting (“Notice”) and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.

Resolution 4

Issue of Options to Dr Denis Clarke

It is proposed that the Company issue to Dr Denis Clarke, a Director of the Company, a total of 2,500,000 options to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price equal to 200% of the volume weighted average share price in the 5 day trading days immediately prior to the date of the AGM (“VWAP”). That is, if the VWAP is $0.012, the exercise price of the options will be $0.024. The options have an expiry date of 30 November 2017. Further details on the terms of the options are set out below.

Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of these options and the issue of shares upon exercise of the options in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. Specifically:

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing equity securities, including options to take up shares, which in any 12 month period would amount to more than 15% of the Company’s total shares on issue 12 months before the date of the proposed issue. However, issues of equity securities made with the prior approval of the shareholders in general meeting, including for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, are not subject to this restriction and will not be counted as part of the 15% limit. Accordingly, if shareholders of the Company approve the proposed issue of options, neither the options nor the shares issued upon exercise of the options will be counted towards the 15% limit in respect of issues of equity securities in the following 12 month period. This provides the Company with maximum flexibility if the Directors consider it appropriate to raise additional capital.

Listing Rule 10.11 restricts a company from issuing equity securities, including options to take up shares, to a director of the company (or a proposed director) without the prior approval of holders of ordinary shares by resolution at a general meeting.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 prohibits a public company from giving a “financial benefit” to a “related party” (which includes Directors and associates) of the public company unless either:-

  • i. the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • ii. prior Shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefits.

The granting of options to Dr Denis Clarke, a Director of the Company constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company within the meaning of Chapter 2E.

Therefore, Resolution 4 seeks the approval of shareholders to satisfy the requirements for shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.

To assist shareholders the following information and valuation of the options has been provided:

The options have been valued by reference to the Black Scholes options pricing model, based on the following assumptions:

CallOption Valuation Input
Share price at 14 October 2014 $0.012

==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

It should be noted that no discount has been applied to the valuation for non negotiability of the options as they are not listed and cannot be transferred except with the Board’s prior approval.

Based on the above assumptions it is considered that the total value of the 2,500,000 options is $21,750.

Details of the proposed issue of options to Dr Denis Clarke are as follows:

  1. If shareholder approval is obtained, the 2,500,000 options will be issued to Dr Denis Clarke (or his nominee) within one month of the date of this meeting.

  2. The options will vest immediately.

  3. No consideration will be payable for the issue of the options but the options, if exercised, will entitle the holder to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price equal to 200% of the VWAP. The funds raised on the exercise of the options will be used for working capital.

  4. The options will be issued on the following terms:

  5. (a) the options issued to Dr Denis Clarke (or his nominee) may be exercised immediately;

  6. (b) the options will expire on the earlier of the date which is one month after the Director to whom the options are issued ceases to be a Director of the Company (or such longer period as determined by the board of Directors) or at 5.00pm on 30 November 2017 (“the Expiry Date”);

  7. (c) the options shall be exercisable wholly or in part, by notice in writing to the Company, at any time up until the expiry date;

  8. (d) the holder of options cannot participate in new issues of capital which may be offered to shareholders during the currency of the options without exercising the option;

  9. (e) shares issued on the exercise of options will rank pari passu with the then existing issued ordinary shares of the Company;

  10. (f) in a reorganisation of capital of the Company, the exercise price of the options or the number of shares over which the options can be exercised will be reorganised in accordance with the relevant provisions of the ASX Listing Rules in force at the time of the reorganisation;

  11. (g) subject to paragraph (f), neither the exercise price of the options nor the number of shares over which the options can be exercised will be changed to take account of pro rata issues (other than bonus issues);

  12. (h) in respect of a bonus issue of shares the option holders are only entitled to participate if the options are exercised before the record date for the bonus issue. In the event of a bonus issue, the number of shares over which an option is exercisable will be increased by the number of securities which the holder of the option would have received if the option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue;

  13. (i) the options can be transferred, subject to board approval;

  14. (j) the options will not be quoted on the ASX.

The current capital structure of the Company is as follows:

**Capital ** Number
Ordinary Shares 1,083,364,514
Unlisted Options (2.3 cents exercisable onorbefore 31/05/2017) 6,000,000

==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

If the share price is higher than the exercise price at the time the options are exercised, there will be a perceived cost to the Company, as the Company may have been able to issue the shares at a higher price.

Dr Clarke has an interest in 8,987,428 shares. If Dr Clarke exercises the options, and none of the other options on issue are exercised, there will be a dilutionary effect of 0.002% on existing shareholders. If shareholder approval is obtained for all resolutions contained in the Notice of Meeting and all options are issued as contemplated by the Notice of Meeting and none of the options on issue are exercised, except those issued to Dr Denis Clarke, Dr Denis Clarke will hold 1.0% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The highest, lowest and last trading prices of the shares on ASX over the previous 12 months are $0.023 (on 3 July 2014), $0.005 (on 3 April 2014) and $0.012 (on 14 October 2014) respectively.

Dr Denis Clarke currently receives $38,325 per year (includes salary and superannuation). Dr Denis Clarke receives no other remuneration from the Company.

These options are intended to provide an incentive to Dr Denis Clarke, a Director, to work towards improving the performance of the Company and its share price, which will benefit all of the shareholders.

Dr Denis Clarke, director of the Company, does not make a recommendation to shareholders in relation to the resolution as he has a personal interest in the outcome of the resolution as he is a related party who will receive a financial benefit if the resolution is passed.

The other directors recommend that the shareholders vote to approve Resolution 4, on the basis that the options will provide an incentive to Dr Clarke to continue to work towards increasing the value of the Company, are consistent with market remuneration in companies of a similar size and nature, and are in the best interests of the Company, taking into account all of the effects and opportunity cost to the Company, including the dilutionary effect referred to above.

RESOLUTION 5

Issue of Options to Dr Chris Ringrose

It is proposed that the Company issue to Dr Chris Ringrose, a Director of the Company, a total of 10,000,000 options to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price equal to 200% of the volume weighted average share price in the 5 day trading days immediately prior to the date of the AGM (“VWAP”). That is, if the VWAP is $0.012, the exercise price of the options will be $0.024. The options have an expiry date of 30 November 2017. Further details on the terms of the options are set out below.

Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of these options and the issue of shares upon exercise of the options in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. Specifically:

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing equity securities, including options to take up shares, which in any 12 month period would amount to more than 15% of the Company’s total shares on issue 12 months before the date of the proposed issue. However, issues of equity securities made with the prior approval of the shareholders in general meeting, including for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, are not subject to this restriction and will not be counted as part of the 15% limit. Accordingly, if shareholders of the Company approve the proposed issue of options, neither the options nor the shares issued upon exercise of the options will be counted towards the 15% limit in respect of issues of equity securities in the following 12 month period. This provides the Company with maximum flexibility if the Directors consider it appropriate to raise additional capital.

Listing Rule 10.11 restricts a company from issuing equity securities, including options to take up shares, to a director of the company (or a proposed director) without the prior approval of holders of ordinary shares by resolution at a general meeting.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 prohibits a public company from giving a “financial benefit” to a “related party” (which includes Directors and associates) of the public company unless either:-

  • i. the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

ii. prior Shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefits.

The granting of options to Dr Chris Ringrose, a Director of the Company constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company within the meaning of Chapter 2E.

Therefore, Resolution 5 seeks the approval of shareholders to satisfy the requirements for shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.

It is proposed that the Company issue to John Horsburgh, a Director of the Company, a total of 2,500,000 options to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price equal to 200% of the volume weighted average share price in the 5 day trading days immediately prior to the date of the AGM (“VWAP”). That is, if the VWAP is $0.012, the exercise price of the options will be $0.024. The options have an expiry date of 30 November 2017. Further details on the terms of the options are set out below.

Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of these options and the issue of shares upon exercise of the options in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. Specifically:

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing equity securities, including options to take up shares, which in any 12 month period would amount to more than 15% of the Company’s total shares on issue 12 months before the date of the proposed issue. However, issues of equity securities made with the prior approval of the shareholders in general meeting, including for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, are not subject to this restriction and will not be counted as part of the 15% limit. Accordingly, if shareholders of the Company approve the proposed issue of options, neither the options nor the shares issued upon exercise of the options will be counted towards the 15% limit in respect of issues of equity securities in the following 12 month period. This provides the Company with maximum flexibility if the Directors consider it appropriate to raise additional capital.

Listing Rule 10.11 restricts a company from issuing equity securities, including options to take up shares, to a director of the company (or a proposed director) without the prior approval of holders of ordinary shares by resolution at a general meeting.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 prohibits a public company from giving a “financial benefit” to a “related party” (which includes Directors and associates) of the public company unless either:-

  • i. the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

ii. prior Shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefits.

The granting of options to John Horsburgh, a Director of the Company constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company within the meaning of Chapter 2E.

Therefore, Resolution 6 seeks the approval of shareholders to satisfy the requirements for shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.

To assist shareholders the following information and valuation of the options has been provided:

The options have been valued by reference to the Black Scholes options pricing model, based on the following assumptions:

CallOption Valuation Input
Share price at14October 2014 $0.012
Exercise Price (based on 200% the
VWAP on 14 October 2014)
$0.024
Risk Free Rate 2.9%
Volatility (Annualised) 145%
Time (years) to expiry 3 years
Value peroption $0.0087
Number of options 2,500,000
Total value $21,750

It should be noted that no discount has been applied to the valuation for non negotiability of the options as they are not listed and cannot be transferred except with the Board’s prior approval.

Based on the above assumptions it is considered that the total value of the 2,500,000 options is $21,750.

Details of the proposed issue of options to John Horsburgh are as follows:

  1. If shareholder approval is obtained, the 2,500,000 options will be issued to John Horsburgh (or his nominee) within one month of the date of this meeting.

  2. The options will vest immediately.

  3. No consideration will be payable for the issue of the options but the options, if exercised, will entitle the holder to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price equal to 200% of the VWAP. The funds raised on the exercise of the options will be used for working capital.

  4. The options will be issued on the following terms:

  5. (a) the options issued to John Horsburgh (or his nominee) may be exercised immediately;

  6. (d) the options will expire on the earlier of the date which is one month after the Director to whom the options are issued ceases to be a Director of the Company (or such longer period as determined by the board of Directors) or at 5.00pm on 30 November 2017 (“the Expiry Date”);

  7. (c) the options shall be exercisable wholly or in part, by notice in writing to the Company, at any time up until the expiry date;

  8. (d) the holder of options cannot participate in new issues of capital which may be offered to shareholders during the currency of the options without exercising the option;

  9. (e) shares issued on the exercise of options will rank pari passu with the then existing issued ordinary shares of the Company;


CULLEN RESOURCES LIMITED A.C.N. 006 045 790

==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

  • (f) in a reorganisation of capital of the Company, the exercise price of the options or the number of shares over which the options can be exercised will be reorganised in accordance with the relevant provisions of the ASX Listing Rules in force at the time of the reorganisation;

  • (g) subject to paragraph (f), neither the exercise price of the options nor the number of shares over which the options can be exercised will be changed to take account of pro rata issues (other than bonus issues);

  • (h) in respect of a bonus issue of shares the option holders are only entitled to participate if the options are exercised before the record date for the bonus issue. In the event of a bonus issue, the number of shares over which an option is exercisable will be increased by the number of securities which the holder of the option would have received if the option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue;

  • (i) the options can be transferred, subject to board approval;

  • (j) the options will not be quoted on the ASX.

The current capital structure of the Company is as follows:

**Capital ** Number
Ordinary Shares 1,083,364,514
Unlisted Options (2.3 cents exercisable on or before 31/5/2017) 6,000,000

If shareholder approval is obtained for all resolutions contained in the Notice of Meeting and all options are issued as contemplated by the Notice of Meeting, the issued capital of the Company will be as follows:

**Capital ** Number
Ordinary Shares 1,083,364,514
Unlisted Options (2.3 cents exercisable onorbefore 31/5/2017) 6,000,000
Unlisted Options (200% of 5 day VWAP prior to meeting exercisable on
or before 30/11/2017)
20,000,000
TotalOptions 26,000,000
TotalOrdinary SharesifallOptions on issue are exercised 1,109,364,514

If the share price is higher than the exercise price at the time the options are exercised, there will be a perceived cost to the Company, as the Company may have been able to issue the shares at a higher price.

Mr Horsburgh has an interest in 21,364,767 shares . If Mr Horsburgh exercises the options, there will be a dilutionary effect of 0.002% on existing shareholders. If shareholder approval is obtained for all resolutions contained in the Notice of Meeting and all options are issued as contemplated by the Notice of Meeting and none of the options on issue are exercised, except those issued to John Horsburgh, John Horsburgh will hold 2.1% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The highest, lowest and last trading prices of the shares on ASX over the previous 12 months are $0.023 (on 3 July 2014), $0.005 (on 3 April 2014) and $0.012 (on 14 October 2014) respectively.

John Horsburgh currently receives $32,850 per year (includes salary and superannuation).

These options are intended to provide an incentive to John Horsburgh, a Director, to work towards improving the performance of the Company and its share price, which will benefit all of the shareholders.

John Horsburgh, director of the Company, does not make a recommendation to shareholders in relation to the resolution as he has a personal interest in the outcome of the resolution as he is a related party who will receive a financial benefit if the resolution is passed.

The other directors recommend that the shareholders vote to approve Resolution 6, on the basis that the options will provide an incentive to Mr Horsburgh to continue to work towards increasing the value of the Company, are consistent with market remuneration in companies of a similar size and nature, and are in the best interests of the Company, taking into account all of the effects and the opportunity cost to the Company including the dilutionary effect referred to above.

Resolution 7

Issue of options to Grahame Hamilton

It is proposed that the Company issue to Grahame Hamilton, a Director of the Company, a total of 2,500,000 options to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price equal to 200% of the volume weighted average share price in the 5 day trading days immediately prior to the date of the AGM (“VWAP”). That is, if the VWAP is $0.012, the exercise price of the options will be $0.024. The options have an expiry date of 30 November 2017. Further details on the terms of the options are set out below.

Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of these options and the issue of shares upon exercise of the options in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. Specifically:

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing equity securities, including options to take up shares, which in any 12 month period would amount to more than 15% of the Company’s total shares on issue 12 months before the date of the proposed issue. However, issues of equity securities made with the prior approval of the shareholders in general meeting, including for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, are not subject to this restriction and will not be counted as part of the 15% limit. Accordingly, if shareholders of the Company approve the proposed issue of options, neither the options nor the shares issued upon exercise of the options will be counted towards the 15% limit in respect of issues of equity securities in the following 12 month period. This provides the Company with maximum flexibility if the Directors consider it appropriate to raise additional capital.

Listing Rule 10.11 restricts a company from issuing equity securities, including options to take up shares, to a director of the company (or a proposed director) without the prior approval of holders of ordinary shares by resolution at a general meeting.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 prohibits a public company from giving a “financial benefit” to a “related party” (which includes Directors and associates) of the public company unless either:-

  • i. the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • ii. prior Shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefits.

The granting of options to Grahame Hamilton, a Director of the Company constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company within the meaning of Chapter 2E.

Therefore, Resolution 7 seeks the approval of shareholders to satisfy the requirements for shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.

To assist shareholders the following information and valuation of the options has been provided:

The options have been valued by reference to the Black Scholes options pricing model, based on the following assumptions:

It should be noted that no discount has been applied to the valuation for non negotiability of the options as they are not listed and cannot be transferred except with the Board’s prior approval.

Based on the above assumptions it is considered that the total value of the 2,500,000 options is $21,750.

Details of the proposed issue of options to Grahame Hamilton are as follows:

  1. If shareholder approval is obtained, the 2,500,000 options will be issued to Grahame Hamilton (or his nominee) within one month of the date of this meeting.

Resolution 8

Issue of options to Wayne Kernaghan

It is proposed that the Company issue to Wayne Kernaghan, a Director of the Company, a total of 2,500,000 options to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price equal to 200% of the volume weighted average share price in the 5 day trading days immediately prior to the date of the AGM (“VWAP”). That is, if the VWAP is $0.012, the exercise price of the options will be $0.024. The options have an expiry date of 30 November 2017. Further details on the terms of the options are set out below.

Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of these options and the issue of shares upon exercise of the options in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. Specifically:

Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing equity securities, including options to take up shares, which in any 12 month period would amount to more than 15% of the Company’s total shares on issue 12 months before the date of the proposed issue. However, issues of equity securities made with the prior approval of the shareholders in general meeting, including for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, are not subject to this restriction and will not be counted as part of the 15% limit. Accordingly, if shareholders of the Company approve the proposed issue of options, neither the options nor the shares issued upon exercise of the options will be counted towards the 15% limit in respect of issues of equity securities in the following 12 month period. This provides the Company with maximum flexibility if the Directors consider it appropriate to raise additional capital.

Listing Rule 10.11 restricts a company from issuing equity securities, including options to take up shares, to a director of the company (or a proposed director) without the prior approval of holders of ordinary shares by resolution at a general meeting.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 prohibits a public company from giving a “financial benefit” to a “related party” (which includes Directors and associates) of the public company unless either:-

  • i. the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • ii. prior Shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefits.

The granting of options to Wayne Kernaghan, a Director of the Company constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company within the meaning of Chapter 2E.

Therefore, Resolution 8 seeks the approval of shareholders to satisfy the requirements for shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001.As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If the share price is higher than the exercise price at the time the options are exercised, there will be a perceived cost to the Company, as the Company may have been able to issue the shares at a higher price.

Mr Kernaghan has an interest in 7,855,286 shares. If Mr Kernaghan exercises the options, there will be a dilutionary effect of 0.002% on existing shareholders If shareholder approval is obtained for all resolutions contained in the Notice of Meeting and all options are issued as contemplated by the Notice of Meeting and none of the options on issue are exercised, except those issued to Wayne Kernaghan, Wayne Kernaghan will hold 0.9% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The highest, lowest and last trading prices of the shares on ASX over the previous 12 months are $0.023 (on 3 July 2014), $0.005 (on 3 April 2014) and $0.012 (on 14 October 2014) respectively.

Wayne Kernaghan currently receives $32,850 per year (includes salary and superannuation). Wayne Kernaghan also provided accounting and secretarial services and received $37,750 for the year ended 30 June 2014 from the Company.

These options are intended to provide an incentive to Wayne Kernaghan, a Director, to work towards improving the performance of the Company and its share price, which will benefit all of the shareholders.

Wayne Kernaghan, director of the Company, does not make a recommendation to shareholders in relation to the resolution as he has a personal interest in the outcome of the resolution as he is a related party who will receive a financial benefit if the resolution is passed.

The other directors recommend that the shareholders vote to approve Resolution 8, on the basis that the options will provide an incentive to Mr Kernaghan to continue to work towards increasing the value of the Company, are consistent with market remuneration in companies of a similar size and nature, and are in the best interests of the Company, taking into account all of the effects and the opportunity cost to the Company including the dilutionary effect referred to above.

The company is seeking a mandate to issue securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility to enable the Company to pursue its growth strategy with the flexibility to act quickly as potential business opportunities arise.

Regulatory Requirements

In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.3A, Shareholders are advised of the following information:

  • a. Minimum Issue Price

Equity securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, namely Shares.

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must not be lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • i. The date on which the price at which the Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • ii. If the Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) the date on which the securities are issued.

b. Dilution

The precise number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

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

  • A: plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • B: plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • C: plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • D: less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

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

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issued Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below to the extent Shareholders do not receive any Shares under such issues. There is a risk that:

  • i. the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

CULLEN RESOURCES LIMITED A.C.N. 006 045 790

==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

ii. the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A2 as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The table below also shows:

  • i. two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rate entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • ii. two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Facility.

  2. No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  3. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

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

  5. The table shows only the effect of issued of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  6. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  7. The issue price is $0.012, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 14 October 2014.

  8. c. Issue Period

If Shareholders approve Resolution 10, the Company will have a mandate to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A from the date of the Annual General Meeting until the earlier of the following to occur:


CULLEN RESOURCES LIMITED A.C.N. 006 045 790

==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

  • i. The date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • ii. The date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature of scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(the Additional 10% Placement Period).

The Company will only issue and allot Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility during the Additional 10% Placement Period.

d. Purpose of Issues

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • i. Non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the 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

  • ii. Cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.

The Company will provide further information at the time of issue of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in compliance with its disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A.

e. Allocation Policy

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Additional 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:

  • i. the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • ii. the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • iii. the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • iv. advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

f. Previous issues

The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with listing rule 7.3A.6(a) details of the total number of equity securities issued in the past 12 months preceding the date of the meeting and the percentage those issues represent of the total number of equity securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period are as follows:

g. Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 10 is included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

At the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has not approached any particular existing security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. Accordingly, the proposed allottees of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility are not as yet known or identified.

In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in ASX Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of any Equity securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted, and there is no reason to exclude their votes.

No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Board Recommendation

The Board believes that the Additional 10% Placement Facility is beneficial for the Company as it will give the Company the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 10% of the company’s share capital during the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve Resolution 10.

Schedule 1

Below is a summary of the material differences between the current Constitution of the Company and the P Constitution of the Company.

Proportional Takeovers

The Proposed Constitution includes provisions dealing with a proportional takeover bid. A proportional takeover bid is one in which the offeror offers to buy only a specified proportion of each shareholder's shares.

The Corporations Act permits a company to include proportional takeover provisions in its constitution, but requires these provisions to be renewed every three years by shareholder approval, otherwise they lapse.

Where the approval of shareholders is sought to include proportional takeover provisions in a constitution, the Corporations Act requires certain information to be provided to shareholders. That information is set out below.

Effect of the proposed proportional takeover provisions

If the proportional takeover provisions are adopted and a proportional takeover bid is made, the directors must ensure that a resolution of shareholders to approve the takeover bid is voted on at least 14 days before the last day of the bid period. The vote will be decided on a simple majority and each person (other than the bidder and their associates) who, as at the end of the day on which the first offer under the bid was made, held bid class securities, is entitled to vote, on the basis of one vote for each bid class security held at that time.

If the resolution to approve the bid is not passed, transfers resulting from acceptances for the proportional takeover bid will not be registered and the bid will be taken to have been withdrawn. If a resolution to approve the bid is not voted on by the required time, the bid will be taken to have been approved. If the bid is approved (or taken to have been approved), the transfers resulting from acceptances for the proportional takeover bid must be registered by the Company (provided they comply with other provisions of the Corporations Act and the Constitution).

The proportional takeover approval provisions do not apply to full takeover bids and will only apply until 3 years after the date of their adoption under this resolution. The provisions may be renewed for a further term, but only by a special resolution of the Company’s shareholders.

The reasons for proposing the proportional takeover provisions

As shares in listed companies are often held by a large number of persons, it is possible for a person to gain effective control of the Company while holding less than 50% of its issued voting shares. This can be facilitated by a proportional takeover, which allows the offeror to specify the percentage shareholding it wishes to achieve. This can be disadvantageous to Shareholders who may not have an opportunity to sell their shares even if there is a risk that the takeover may cause a decrease in the Company's share price.

Shareholders may be pressured into selling their Shares even if they did not want control of the Company to pass to an offeror because they do not want to take the risk, if the offer is successful, of being left with a minority interest in the Company, the value of their shares decreasing or their shareholding becoming less attractive and therefore more difficult to sell.

Advantages

The advantages of including proportional takeover provisions in the Proposed Constitution are that such provisions:

  • enable the Directors to formally ascertain the views of the Shareholders in respect of the proportional takeover offer;

  • give the Shareholders the opportunity to consider the offer and then vote on the offer;

  • allow a majority of Shareholders to prevent a proportional takeover if they believe control of the company should not pass to the offeror; and

  • if an offer is rejected by the majority of Shareholders, it might encourage any future takeover offers to be on terms attractive to majority of Shareholders.

Disadvantages

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions are that:

  • it may discourage proportional takeovers by making them more difficult to proceed and may reduce any takeover speculation element in the price of the Company's Shares on ASX;

  • Shareholders who would otherwise accept the offer to sell a portion of their Shares will be denied that opportunity where a majority reject the offer;


CULLEN RESOURCES LIMITED

A.C.N. 006 045 790

==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

  • the proposed procedure introduces an additional formal mechanism to the existing statutory takeover requirements; and

  • the provisions are inconsistent with the principle that a share in a public company should be transferable without the consent of other shareholders.

As at the date of the Notice, none of the Directors is aware of a proposal by a person to acquire or to increase the extent of a substantial interest in the Company.

Direct Voting

The Proposed Constitution provides that the Directors may determine that, at any general meeting of members of the Company, a member who is entitled to attend and vote at that meeting is entitled to a direct vote. A direct vote includes a vote delivered to the Company by post, facsimile transmission or other electronic means approved by the Directors. The directors may prescribe rules to govern direct voting including rules specifying the form, method and timing of giving the direct vote in order for the vote to be valid.

Dividend Rules

The rules relating to the declaration and payment of dividends have been amended to reflect the current provisions of the Corporations Act.

Director Remuneration and Retirement

The rules relating to remuneration and retirement of directors have been amended to reflect the current provisions of the Corporations Act.

Preference Shares

Each of the current and Proposed Constitutions have provisions allowing the Directors to allot or dispose of shares in the Company, including preference shares. However, the proposed Constitution contains more detailed provisions setting out the rights attaching to preference shares allotted by the Company. These provisions have been expanded to reflect the current provisions of the Corporations Act.
