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 in Boardroom, Ground Floor, 3 Spring Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 on 21 November 2024 at 3.00pm, (AEDT).
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 3: Approval of additional 10% placement facility
Background
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to the 15% placement capacity permitted without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period the approval is valid, a number of quoted Equity Securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in 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 (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis), The Company is an eligible entity.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% placement facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. The Company has one class of quoted securities on issue, being ordinary shares.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility available under Listing Rule 7.1A. The maximum number of quoted Equity Securities that may be issued under the additional 10% placement facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to a combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% placement capacity to issue quoted Equity Securities without Shareholder approval available under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing (or agreeing to issue) Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 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).
Regulatory Requirements
In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.3A, Shareholders are advised of the following information:
a. Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be a cash consideration per Equity Security of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity 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 Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
ii. If the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
b. Dilution
As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has 693,401,849 Shares on issue. If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the Company will have the capacity to issue approximately 69,340,184 Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.
CULLEN RESOURCES LIMITED A.C.N. 006 045 790
==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
If Resolution 3 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, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities
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 7.1A(2) 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 $0.006, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 8 October 2024.
CULLEN RESOURCES LIMITED A.C.N. 006 045 790
==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
c. Issue Period
If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, 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;
-
ii. The time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting; and
-
iii. 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 can only issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses 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 did seek shareholder approval for the additional 10% placement facility at the previous annual general meeting held on 29 November 2023. No shares have been issued in the previous 12 months under Listing Rule 7.1A.
g. Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 3 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.
CULLEN RESOURCES LIMITED A.C.N. 006 045 790
==> picture [37 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
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 3.
