Resolution 2: Ratification of Share Issue of 22,436,622 Ordinary Shares
Resolution 2 seeks to ratify the issue of 22,436,622 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company which was completed on 25 March 2009.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exemptions, issue during any 12 month period shares (or other securities that can convert into shares), if the number of those shares exceeds 15% of the total ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows a company which makes an issue which complies with Listing Rule 7.1 to subsequently obtain shareholders’ approval for the past issue and so reinstate the company’s ability to again issue up to 15% of its capital under Listing Rule 7.1. This
2
resolution complies with Listing Rule 7.4 and will, if passed, reinstate the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% capital within a 12 month period.
The Company issued these shares to TM Consulting Pty Limited and Bannaby Investments Pty Limited as sub-underwriters of the placement underwritten by KTM Capital Pty Limited. Each of TM Consulting Pty Limited and Bannaby Investments Pty Limited subscribed for and were issued 11,218,311 shares under the placement. These shares rank pari passu with and are on the same terms as the Companies other ordinary shares then on issue.
The issue price for these shares was $0.01 per share.
The proceeds of the placement were utilised by the Company for working capital purposes.
As you may be aware the Company undertook a rights issue subsequent to the placement. The rights issue was announced to the market on 24 March 2009 and was also underwritten by KTM Capital Pty Limited. Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to underwritten pro rata rights issues, such as was undertaken by the Company, under exceptions 1 and 2 of Listing Rule 7.2 and therefore no ratification of the rights issue is being sought.
Resolution 3: Remuneration Report
Resolution 4 provides shareholders the opportunity to vote on the Company’s Remuneration Report. Under Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the adoption of its Remuneration Report to the vote at the Annual General Meeting. The Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors’ report. This vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
