EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10am (WST) on 30 May 2011 at Esplanade River Suite Hotel, 112 Melville Parade, Como, Western Australia.
This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL
1.1 Background
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to consolidate the number of Shares, Options and Convertible Notes on issue on a five (5) for one (1) basis ( Consolidation ).
The purpose of the Consolidation is to implement a more appropriate capital structure for the Company going forward.
1.2 Legal Requirements
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.
The ASX Listing Rules also require that the number of options on issue be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
1.3
Fractional Entitlements and Taxation
Not all Shareholders, Optionholders and Noteholders will hold that number of Shares, Options and Convertible Notes which can be evenly divided by five. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Directors will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Share, Option or Convertible Note.
It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Shareholders, Optionholders or Noteholders arising from the Consolidation. However, Shareholders, Optionholders and Noteholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and neither the Company, nor the Directors (or the Company’s advisors) accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.
1.4 Holding Statements and Option Certificates
From the date of the Consolidation:
-
(a) all holding statements for Shares and listed Options will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Shares and Options on a post-Consolidation basis; and
-
(b) all certificates for unlisted Options and Convertible Notes will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Options or Convertible Notes on a post-Consolidation basis.
6
After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares and listed Options to be issued to holders of those securities and, to the extent required, new certificates for unlisted Options and Convertible Notes to be issued to Optionholders and Noteholders.
It is the responsibility of each Shareholder, Optionholder or Noteholder to check the number of Shares, Options or Convertible Notes held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).
1.5 Effect on Capital Structure
The effect of obtaining approval of the Transaction and the Resolutions contained within the Notice will have on the capital structure of the Company is as follows.
