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 8 November 2016 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
Ratification of share placement on 25 February 2016
On 25 February 2016 the Company announced it had issued an additional 40,000,000 new Shares at an issue price of 0.2 cents per Share to clients of sophisticated and professional investors. None of the allottees were related parties of the Company. The purpose of the issue was to provide general working capital.
The directors are restricted by Listing Rule 7.1 from issuing new securities in the Company, which would dilute existing shareholdings, to a maximum of 15% of the expanded issued capital in any 12 month period. There are exceptions which allow the directors to issue new securities above that limit which include pro rata rights issues and issues with shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Company to seek the approval of shareholders of the Company to an issue of securities after the issue has been made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1, provided the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the holders of ordinary shares in the Company subsequently approve the issue.
As the issue was not in breach of Listing Rule 7.1 and was not previously approved by the shareholders of the Company, the directors are now seeking shareholders’ approval and ratification for the issue of the Shares.
If resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to utilise Listing Rule 7.1 for future issues of up to 15% of the expanded issued capital in the next 12 month period without having to convene a shareholders meeting to seek shareholders’ approval of any such issues. The directors believe it is desirable to have the flexibility afforded to the Company to issue securities up to the maximum 15% allowable under Listing Rule 7.1 and accordingly recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution.
The Shares issued pursuant to the placement rank equally in all respects with all existing Shares previously issued by the Company.
$80,000 (before expenses) was raised from the issue and will be used to provide funds for contribution to the Mt Stuart Joint Venture, exploration activities on the Company’s other projects and general working capital.
The Directors recommend that the shareholders vote to approve Resolution 4.
Resolution 5
Ratification of share placement on 23 May 2016
On 23 Mary 2016 the Company announced it had issued an additional 200,000,000 new Shares at an issue price of 0.3 cents per Share to clients of Bell Potter Securities. None of the allottees were related parties of the Company. The purpose of the issue was to provide general working capital.
The directors are restricted by Listing Rule 7.1 from issuing new securities in the Company, which would dilute existing shareholdings, to a maximum of 15% of the expanded issued capital in any 12 month period. There are exceptions which allow the directors to issue new securities above that limit which include pro rata rights issues and issues with shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Company to seek the approval of shareholders of the Company to an issue of securities after the issue has been made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1, provided the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the holders of ordinary shares in the Company subsequently approve the issue.
As the issue was not in breach of Listing Rule 7.1 and was not previously approved by the shareholders of the Company, the directors are now seeking shareholders’ approval and ratification for the issue of the Shares.
CULLEN RESOURCES LIMITED A.C.N. 006 045 790
==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
If resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to utilise Listing Rule 7.1 for future issues of up to 15% of the expanded issued capital in the next 12 month period without having to convene a shareholders meeting to seek shareholders’ approval of any such issues. The directors believe it is desirable to have the flexibility afforded to the Company to issue securities up to the maximum 15% allowable under Listing Rule 7.1 and accordingly recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution.
The Shares issued pursuant to the placement rank equally in all respects with all existing Shares previously issued by the Company.
$600,000 (before expenses) was raised from the issue and will be used to provide funds for contribution to the Mt Stuart Joint Venture, exploration activities on the Company’s other projects and general working capital.
The Directors recommend that the shareholders vote to approve Resolution 5.
Resolution 6
Approval of additional 10% placement facility
Background
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities of up to 10% of its issued ordinary share capital through placements over a 12 month period following the entity’s annual general meeting (Additional 10% Placement Facility). The Additional 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of 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, as at the time of the entity’s annual general meeting. The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice of Annual General Meeting and is expected to be an eligible entity as at the time of the Annual General Meeting.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility throughout the 12 months after the Annual General Meeting. The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the directors to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the period set out below.
Resolution 6 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 10(b) of this Notice of Annual General Meeting below).
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.
CULLEN RESOURCES LIMITED A.C.N. 006 045 790
==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
- b. Dilution
As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has 1,901,560,131 Shares on issue. If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, the Company will have the capacity to issue approximately 190,156,013 Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.
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 6 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
-
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:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Facility.
-
No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
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%.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
The issue price is $0.003, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 27 September 2016.
c. Issue Period
If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, 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:
-
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
CULLEN RESOURCES LIMITED A.C.N. 006 045 790
==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
- 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 6 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 6.
