3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
3.1
General
(a) Placement
On 2 March 2023, the Company announced a placement to raise up to $1,600,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) through the issue of 16,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.10 ( Placement Shares ), with one free attaching option for every two Shares subscribed for under the Placement ( Placement Options ). The Placement Options are quoted Options exercisable at a price of $0.25 on or before 31 August 2025 and currently listed under the ASX Listing Code: LV1OA.
The Placement consists of:
-
(i) 11,000,000 Placement Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) issued on 14 March 2023 without Shareholder approval under the Company’s available Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity to raise $1,100,000 (before costs) (the subject of Resolution 1);
-
(ii) 5,500,000 free attaching Placement Options to be issued to the subscribers of Tranche 1 Placement Shares subject to Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 2) ( Tranche 1 Placement Options );
Page 7
-
(iii) 5,000,000 Placement Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) to be issued subject to Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to raise $500,000 (before costs) (the subject of Resolution 3); and
-
(iv) 2,500,000 free attaching Placement Options to be issued to the subscribers of Tranche 2 Placement Shares subject to Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 4) ( Tranche 2 Placement Options ).
Resolution 1 seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
3.2
Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve the issue of Equity Securities after the issue has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, those Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into he future without the need to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1 is passed, 11,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, 11,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 11,000,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
