EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Receipt and consideration of Accounts & Reports

A copy of the Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2011 (which incorporates the Company's financial report, reports of the Directors (including the Remuneration Report) and the auditors) is not enclosed as there is no longer a requirement for the Company to incur the printing and distribution cost associated with doing so for all shareholders. You may obtain a copy free of charge in hard copy form by contacting the Company by phone at (03) 9692 7222, and you may request that this occurs on a standing basis for future years. Alternatively you may access the annual report at the Company's website: www.sprintenergy.com.au or via the Company's announcement platform on ASX. Except for as set out in Resolution 1, no resolution is required on these reports.

Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed Company’s Annual General Meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company (described as " Key Management Personnel "). The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2011.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Pursuant to the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability for Director and Executive Remuneration) Bill 2011 which amended the Corporations Act from 1 July 2011, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings (effectively, "two strikes"), shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (referred to as a "spill resolution") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director and CEO) must go up for re-election. The spill resolution requirements will only be triggered where both strikes occur after 1 July 2011. On this basis, while votes on the Remuneration Report at this Annual General Meeting will be counted towards the two strikes, the first spill resolution can only potentially occur following the Company's 2012 Annual General Meeting.

Also, the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability for Director and Executive Remuneration) Bill 2011 has introduced new prohibitions on key management personnel and their closely related parties from voting or voting undirected proxies on, amongst other things, remuneration matters. Accordingly, any undirected proxies held by the Chairman of the meeting, other Directors or by other Key Management Personnel or their closely related parties for the purposes of Resolution 1 will not be voted on Resolution 1.

The Company encourages all Shareholders to cast their votes in relation to Resolution 1 and if Shareholders choose to appoint a proxy, Shareholders are encouraged to direct their proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the proxy form or by marking the Chairman’s box (in which case the Chairman of the meeting will vote in favour of Resolution 1 as your proxy).

Resolution 2: Election of Mr Craig Martin as a Director of the Company

Mr Craig Martin was appointed as a director on 24 October 2011 as a casual vacancy and retires in accordance with the Company's Constitution and is eligible for election.

Resolution 4: Re-election of Mr Cosimo Damiano as a Director of the Company

Resolution 6: Approval to Issue Shares under a Converting Loan

Background to Resolution 6

Resolution 6 relates to the approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of the ordinary shares to be issued to certain professional and sophisticated investor clients of Truestone Capital Limited (“ Truestone ”) upon the conversion of the loan advanced to the Company by the professional and sophisticated investor clients (“ Lenders ”) pursuant to the Converting Loan Agreements between the Company and the Lenders.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period, any equity securities or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that twelve (12) month period.

One circumstance where an issue is not taken into account in the calculation of this 15% limit is where a proposed issue of securities has the prior approval of shareholders at a general meeting. By obtaining shareholder approval to issue the shares the subject of this Resolution, the Company maintains the ability to issue further securities up to the 15% limit without further shareholder approval to take advantage of opportunities which may arise to raise additional capital.

  • 7 -

Terms to the Converting Loan Agreement

During December 2011, the Company entered into a Converting Loan Agreement with each of the Lenders. The aggregate of the loan amounts under the loan agreements is $1,250,500.

Each of the Converting Loan Agreements provides that the Company will seek shareholder approval in a general meeting of the transactions contemplated by the Converting Loan Agreements including but not limited to the issue of ordinary shares on conversion of the loan in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act including Listing Rule 7.1.

On receipt of shareholder approval the Lender will be deemed to have directed the Company to apply the loan amount in payment for ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at the issue price and on the further terms and conditions set out below.

Issue Price:

Following shareholder approval the Company will apply the loan amount by way of subscription by the Lender for ordinary shares at an issue price (“ Conversion Issue Price ”) comprising the lower of:

  • i) at not less than 80% of the average market price for securities of that class on the last five (5) days on which sales in the securities were recorded immediately prior to the date of issue ; or

  • ii) Otherwise, a price of $0.02 per ordinary share

The issue price will be the same for all Lenders.

Conversion:

The number of ordinary shares the Company is required to issue to the Lender (or the Lender’s nominee) is determined by dividing the loan amount by the Conversion Issue Price.

Issue and Allotment

The Company will issue and allot the ordinary shares as soon as practicable on 1 given day, but not longer than 2 Business Days after the shareholder approvals are obtained.

Interest:

Interest is charged on the loan amount at 12% per annum calculated daily. The Company will pay the interest each six months with the first interest payment being made 6 months after the signing of the Converting Loan Agreement.

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.3:

  • (a) The number of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to be issued to a particular Lender in respect of a particular conversion will be determined on the basis of the amount of the relevant loan amount for conversion with an issue price comprising the lower of either AU$0.02 or at not less than 80% of the average market price for securities of that class on the last five (5) days on which sales in the securities were recorded immediately prior to the date of issue.. The issue price will be the same for all Lenders. The aggregate of all loans that will be the subject of conversion is $1,250,500. The number of ordinary shares the Company is required to issue to a Lender (or the Lender’s nominee) is determined by dividing the loan amount by the issue price;

  • (b) The approval sought from shareholders in this Resolution is in respect of the ordinary shares that will be issued on conversion of the loans by the Company. The Company anticipates issuing the ordinary shares as soon as practicable on 1 given day, but not longer than 2 Business Days after the shareholder approvals are obtained;

  • (c) The ordinary shares issued in respect of a conversion will have an issue price comprising the lower of either AU$0.02 or at not less than 80% of the average market price for securities of that class on the last five (5) days on which sales in the securities were recorded immediately prior to the date of issue, therefore the scenarios for the maximum number of shares issued under this resolution will be as follows:

Resolution 7: Approval to Issue Shares

Resolution 8: Approval to Grant Options

Background to Resolution 8

The Company has renegotiated its loans payable to reduce by over $2,800,000. Truestone Capital Limited was responsible for advising the Company during these negotiations and agreed to accept payment for their services in the form of 5,000,000 shares and 5,000,000 options exercisable at $0.06.

Truestone Capital Limited also provided a mandate to the Company to raise $2,500,000 in the form of convertible loans in September 2011 and December 2011. The Company resolved to grant 50,000,000 options exercisable at $0.06 by 31 March 2015 to Truestone Capital to distribute to convertible loan participants.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period, any equity securities or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that twelve (12) month period.

One circumstance where an issue is not taken into account in the calculation of this 15% limit is where a proposed issue of securities has the prior approval of shareholders at a general meeting. By obtaining shareholder approval to issue the shares the subject of this Resolution, the Company maintains the ability to issue further securities up to the 15% limit without further shareholder approval to take advantage of opportunities which may arise to raise additional capital.

Issue and Allotment

The Company will issue and allot the ordinary shares as soon as practicable on 1 given day, but not longer than 10 Business Days after the shareholder approvals are obtained.

Resolution 9: Non-executive Director Fees

The Constitution of the Company provides that the remuneration of non-executive directors must not exceed in aggregate a maximum amount fixed by the Company in General Meeting. This resolution authorises the directors to fix a maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors at $350,000, this is an increase of $200,000 from the current maximum aggregate of $150,000. The directors believe the maximum aggregate amount of $350,000 is both commensurate with amounts offered to non-executive directors of public companies of a similar size and industry grouping as the Company, and that the amount will allow adequate scope for the appointment of additional nonexecutive directors in the future.

Resolution 10: Approval to Issue Securities

The Board believes it desirable that the Company has the ability to issue up to a further 100,000,000 securities of the Company (including fully paid ordinary shares) as opportunities arise and the need to fund the Company’s exploration programs. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a limit on the number of equity securities which the Company can issue without shareholders’ approval. In general terms this limit in any 12 month period is no more than 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the issue plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in that 12 month period under an exception contained in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with shareholders’ approval. Other than to state there is no voting exclusion with respect to this resolution, the information for shareholders required by the ASX Listing Rules is:

  • (a) the total number of securities which may be issued under Resolution 10 is a maximum of 100,000,000; (b) the recipients are not known at this point however will be determined at the Board’s discretion and be professional and/or sophisticated investors;

  • (c) no securities pursuant to Resolution 10 will be issued to Directors of the Company or their associates;

  • (d) the securities will be allotted and/or issued progressively no later than three (3) months after the date of this meeting;

  • (e) the terms of the securities will be at the Board’s discretion but will be issued at not less than 80% of the average market price for securities of that class on the last five (5) days on which sales in the securities were recorded immediately prior to the date of issue;

  • (f) the securities will rank pari passu with all securities of that class; and

  • (g) the funds raised will augment the Company’s working capital and its present work programme obligations.

Resolutions 11: Approval to Grant of Options

Resolutions 11 of the Notice provide for the grant of options to Mr Andrew Mattin. The resolution, if passed, will approve the grant of a total of 5,000,000 unlisted options to subscribe for ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.04 (4 cents) on the terms set out herein.

The options to be granted to Mr Andrew Mattin under Resolutions will, if approved for grant, be issued by no later than 17 March 2012, being not more than one month from the date of the meeting. Approval for the issue of the Options is sought in accordance with the provisions of Part 2E of the Corporations Act.

In order for the options to be granted to a Recipient, the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act need to be observed.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities (including an option) to a related party of the company.

If Resolution 11 is passed, the options will be issued to Mr Andrew Mattin, who is a related parties of the Company. Accordingly, approval for the issue of Director Options is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Approval

  • 11 -

pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

Shareholders should note that the issue of securities to the Directors will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 11:

  • (a) the related party is Mr Andrew Mattin and his related party is by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options to be issued by the Company is: (i) 5,000,000 to Mr Andrew Mattin (or his nominee)

  • (c) the Director Options will be issued not later than one month after the date of the Annual General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated that allotment will occur on one date;

  • (d) the Director Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Options;

  • (e) the Director Options will be issued on the terms set out in Annexure B of this Explanatory Statement;

  • (f) the value of the Director Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Section (c); and

  • (g) the primary purpose of the grant of Director Options to the Director is to provide a market linked incentive package to Andrew Mattin in his capacity as a Director of the Company and for the future performance by him in his respective role. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options upon the terms proposed.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of a public company unless the benefit falls within one of various exceptions to the general prohibition. One of the exceptions includes where the company first obtains the approval of its shareholders in general meeting in circumstances where the requirements of Chapter 2E in relation to the convening of that meeting have been met.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is defined widely and includes a director of the public company.

A “financial benefit” for the purposes of the Corporations Act has a very wide meaning. It includes the public company paying money or issuing securities to the related party. In determining whether or not a financial benefit is being given, it is necessary to look to the economic and commercial substance and effect of what the public company is doing (rather than just the legal form).

The proposed Resolution 11, if passed, will confer financial benefits to the Recipients and the Company seeks to obtain Shareholder approval in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and for this reason, and for all other purposes, the following information is provided to Shareholders.

(a) The related party to whom Resolution 11 would permit the financial benefit to be given

Mr Mattin has an interest in Resolution 11 as he is interested in the outcome.

The nature of the financial benefit which may be obtained by Mr Mattin as a related party of the Company are that he will be granted the options which, based on a Black-Sholes valuation on the parameters set out herein, have a value of $0.0414 (4.14 cents each) which means that the options proposed to be granted to Mr Mattin have a value of $207,000 (4.14 cents each).

The valuation of the options is an assessment of the value inherent in the options. To the extent that the share price changes over time, the value inherent in the options will also change. Consequently, the value created in the option holder will not necessarily equate to the valuation set out herein. It will be a reflection of the difference between the share price at the date chosen and the exercise price.

  • 12 -

(b) Director’s Recommendations

The Corporations Act 2001 requires in Section 219, inter alia, that, in relation to each Director of the Company it must be set out herein:

  • (a) if the Director wanted to make a recommendation to Members about the proposed resolution(s)—the recommendation and his or her reasons for it; or

  • (b) if not why not; or

  • (c) if the Director was not available to consider the proposed resolution why not.

Accordingly the following information is provided.

In so far as Resolution 11 relating to the grant of options to a particular Director, that particular Director of the Company abstains from making any general recommendation because he is interested in the outcome.

The Directors believe that the Members should consider the matters set out above and the following additional matters set out below in relation to each Director when deciding how to vote on the relevant resolutions.

In relation to Mr Mattin and the grant of options to him:

Mr Damiano, Mr Martin and Dr Poll recommend that Members vote in favour of granting Mr Mattin options.

(c) Valuation

Based on the Binomial model the options to be granted to Mr Mattin, with an expiry date of 31 March 2015, have a value of $0.0414 (4.14 cents) based on the following parameters:

  • (a) a volatility factor of 133.4%;

  • (b) the options vest immediately;

  • (c) an risk free interest rate of 3.83% representing the 10 year Bank Bill Swap Rate at 12 January 2012;

  • (d) a period to expiry until 31 March 2015;

  • (e) an underlying share price of $0.052 (5.2 cents) being the issue price of the shares and compared to the closing price of the shares on the ASX of $0.052 (5.2 cents) at the last trading day before the date hereof.

The related party benefit being given to the Director is thus the aggregate value of the options for each Director or Officer, expressed in monetary terms, being an aggregate amount of $207,000.

The grant of options is proposed as remuneration for the Director is considered by them to be fair and reasonable.

The Act provides that members approval is not needed to give a financial benefit if the benefit is remuneration to a related party as an officer or employee and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the public company or entity giving the remuneration and the related party’s circumstances including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment.

(d) Directors’ Interest and other remuneration

Mr Mattin has received $48,006 in Managing Directors fees since his commencement on 24 October 2011.

The Director did not receive any remuneration for services provided in the previous financial year.

The Board asks Members to consider and take into account a number of important factors when deciding how to vote on the resolutions being put to the meeting.

These include that:

  1. As discussed above, the options constitute additional remuneration which will only have significant value if the shares in the Company increase significantly in value. Essentially, to the extent that the Director by their actions creates wealth, the grant of these options allows them to participate in the fruits of that wealth creation.

  2. 13 -

  3. The grant of the options under Resolution 11 will increase Directors option holdings to approximately 0.87% of the fully diluted capital of the Company, if all other resolutions in this notice are also passed. This is consistent with the level of options granted to directors of other companies.

  4. The ascribed value of the options is small, particularly considering that the value being granted to Director is a non-monetary value which will not diminish the Company’s cash resources.

  5. While the benefit of the options may be considered by some Members to be significant, the benefits are of a nonmonetary kind and cash has to be paid to the Company for the options to be exercised.

Voting Restrictions

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolutions 11 by Mr Mattin or any associate of Mr Mattin and any other member of Key Management Personnel. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  • it is cast by any such person or any of its associates as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

  • it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

Members should be aware that the acquisition by any person of options does not change voting power. That voting power will only change in accordance with changes in the relevant interests in shareholdings of any member or of those of his/her associates.

Each Member must form his own opinion in relation to each resolution and vote as he or she considers appropriate having regard to the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum.

Enquiries

Shareholders are invited to contact the Company Secretary, Melanie Leydin on (03) 9692 7222 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in these documents.

DATED this 16[th] day of January 2012 at Melbourne.
