The amount of natural uranium produced from Mulga Rock (3.5Mlbs pa U3O8) if utilised in nuclear reactors which displaced coal-fired electricity would reduce carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by approximately

64 million tonnes

COR/93/2022
EX PARTE:
VIMY RESOURCES LIMITED Plaintiff
AND
DEEP YELLOW LIMITED (ACN 006 391 948) Interested Party

_______________

ORDERS OF THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE STRK MADE ON 26 JULY 2022

_______________

UPON THE APPLICATION made by the plaintiff by originating process filed on 31 May 2022, AND AFTER HEARING Mr A J Papamatheos and Mr V N Ghosh of counsel for the plaintiff and Mr P Tydde for Deep Yellow Limited, an interested party, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

  1. Pursuant to section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the scheme of arrangement between the plaintiff and holders of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the plaintiff, in the form set out in attachment SGM-20 (pages 552-567) to the affidavit of Steven George Michael sworn on 31 May 2022 (Scheme), is approved subject to the following alterations, made pursuant to section 411(6) of the Corporations Act 2001(Cth):

  2. (a) to clause 1.1 [definition of “Deed Poll”] to replace “[o]” with “about 7 June 2022”;

  3. (b) to clause 2.1(b) to replace “[o]” with “1 April 2022”;

  4. (c) to clause 2.2(b) to replace “[o]” with “30 March 2022”; and

  5. (d) to clause 6.2(f) of the Scheme to replace the word "before" with the word "after".

  6. Pursuant to section 1322(4)(d) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the time for compliance with order 5(b) of the orders of 15 June 2022 be extended to 22 June 2022.

  7. Order 6 of the orders of 15 June 2022 be amended by replacing "Monday, 20 June 2022", with "Wednesday, 22 June 2022".

  8. Pursuant to section 411(12) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the plaintiff is exempted from

compliance with section 411(11) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in relation to the Scheme.

  1. These orders be entered immediately on being made.

  2. The plaintiff lodge a copy of these orders with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission as soon as practicable after the orders are made, and in any event by 27 July 2022.

THE COURT NOTES THAT:

  1. The plaintiff and Deep Yellow Limited will rely on the Court's approval of the Scheme for the purpose of qualifying for exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act of 1933, provided for by section 3(a)(10) of that Act, in connection with the implementation of, and provision of consideration under, the Scheme.

  2. The Court was informed that shares are to be offered as Scheme consideration and an independent expert report has concluded that the Scheme is in the best interests of members.

  3. The Court has held a hearing to determine whether the terms of the proposed Scheme are fair to the plaintiff’s members so as to determine whether to approve the terms of the Scheme. As to this, for approval under section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), it is necessary for the Court to consider the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed Scheme. The Court has determined that the proposed Scheme is fair and reasonable.

  4. The hearing for approval of the proposed Scheme was heard in open court on 26 July 2022. It was open to all members of the plaintiff to attend. Notice of the hearing was provided to all members in accordance with the orders of the Court made on 15 June 2022 and 26 July 2022. The date of the hearing was advertised in both "The Australian" and "The West Australian" newspapers on 18 July 2022. The date of the "approval court hearing" was also referred to in the Scheme Booklet.

  5. No member of the plaintiff, nor the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, gave notice of any intention to appear at the approval court hearing and no member sought leave to appear at the approval court hearing to oppose the approval of the Scheme.
