EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND TO THE RESOLUTIONS
On 11 May 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding agreement ( Preliminary Agreement ) with Vanacorp Aust Pty Ltd ( Vanacorp ) and Mr Peter Rossiter Woods (the sole shareholder of Vanacorp at that time) ( PRW ), pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of the issued capital of Vanacorp and Vanacorp USA LLC, which owns a 100% interest in 200 unpatented lode claims (~4,000 acres/16km2) prospective for uranium and vanadium located in the Dry Valley/East Canyon mining district of South East Utah, USA (together, the East Canyon Project ) ( Acquisition ).
The East Canyon claims contain known high-grade uranium and vanadium mineralisation and include the historic None Such Mine. The claims are targeted to an area with known historical workings, historic drill intercepts and historic production for both uranium and vanadium. Field work carried out in 2018 and 2019 yielded highly encouraging results that warrant follow-up exploration. Further details of the East Canyon Project can be found in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 11 May 2020.
Pursuant to the Preliminary Agreement, in consideration for the payment of a $25,000 exclusivity fee and issue of 500,000 Shares ( Exclusivity Shares ), the Company was granted a 14 day period ( Exclusivity Period ) in which to conduct due diligence on Vanacorp and its assets (including the East Canyon Project) ( Due Diligence ). Completion of the Acquisition was conditional on completion of the Due Diligence (to the absolute satisfaction of the Company) and entry into the Acquisition Agreement (defined below) prior to the end of the Exclusivity Period. Otherwise, the Preliminary Agreement contained the same material terms and conditions as the Acquisition Agreement, as summarised in Schedule 1.
Shortly after the Preliminary Agreement was executed, Vanacorp’s ownership structure was varied such that, as at the date of the Acquisition Agreement, the shares in Vanacorp were held 50% by Blackbird Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 606 800 775) as trustee for the Blackbird Trust and 50% by Peter James Woods ( PJW ) (together, the Vendors ). PRW is the sole shareholder of Blackbird Capital Pty Ltd and sole beneficiary of the Blackbird Trust and PJW is the father of PRW.
On 22 May 2020, the Company, Vanacorp and the Vendors entered into a share sale agreement (which was varied on 15 June 2020) to more fully document the terms and conditions of the Acquisition ( Acquisition Agreement ). The material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement are set out in Schedule 1.
The Acquisition was completed on 15 June 2020.
The consideration payable to the Vendors for the Acquisition is comprised of:
(a) 3,500,000 Shares, that were issued on 18 June 2020 ( Consideration Shares ); and
5
-
(b) 1,750,000 performance rights on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2 of this Notice ( Performance Rights ), that are proposed to be issued as a condition subsequent to completion, subject to either:
-
(i) the receipt of shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1; or
-
(ii) the receipt of shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Consideration Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
Pursuant to this Notice of Meeting, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Exclusivity Shares (Resolution 1) and Consideration Shares (Resolution 2) for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 and issue the Performance Rights for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 (Resolution 3).
2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
2.1 General
On 13 May 2020, the Company issued the Exclusivity Shares to PRW (or his nominee/s), as part consideration for the grant of an exclusivity period in which to conduct due diligence on Vanacorp and the East Canyon Project, as detailed in section 1 above.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 ( 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 29 November 2019.
The issue of the Exclusivity Shares does not fit within any of the Exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Exclusivity Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under 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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Exclusivity Shares.
6
2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Exclusivity Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue with Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Exclusivity Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Exclusivity Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Exclusivity Shares.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
-
(a) the Shares were issued to PRW (or his nominee/s), who was not a related party of the Company at the time of the issue;
-
(b) 500,000 Shares were issued and the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(c) the Shares were issued on 13 May 2020; the Shares were issued for nil cash consideration as part consideration for the grant of the Exclusivity Period. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Exclusivity Shares;
-
(d) the Shares were issued to PRW (or his nominee/s) under the Preliminary Agreement, a summary of which is set out in Section 1; and
-
(e) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 1 of the Notice.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
3.1 General
On 18 June 2020, the Company issued the Consideration Shares to the Vendors (or their nominee/s), as part consideration for the Acquisition, as detailed in section 1 above.
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 2.1 above.
The issue of the Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the Exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consideration Shares.
7
3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue with Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Consideration Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.
Further, as detailed in Section 1, the issue of the Performance Rights is subject to the passing of Resolution 2 or Resolution 3. If Resolution 3 is not passed, and assuming Resolution 2 is passed, the Company is required to issue the Performance Rights within 10 business days of the Meeting, under its refreshed placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolutions 2 and 3 are not passed, the Company has agreed to a cash and/or equivalent consideration package (as mutually agreed with the Vendors) of the higher of (i) $175,000, or (ii) the value of 1,750,000 Shares (based on a price per Share equal to the volume weighted average price of Shares for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the date of the Meeting), in lieu of the issue of the Performance Rights, payable within 25 business days of the Meeting.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:
-
(a) the Shares were issued to the Vendors (or their nominee/s);
-
(b) 3,500,000 Shares were issued and the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(c) the Shares were issued on 18 June 2020; the Shares were issued for nil cash consideration as part consideration for the Acquisition. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Consideration Shares;
-
(d) the Shares were issued to the Vendors (or their nominee/s) under the Acquisition Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement is set out in Schedule 1; and
-
(e) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 2 of the Notice.
8
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PURSUANT TO THE ACQUISITION
4.1 General
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights to the Vendors (or their nominee/s), as part consideration for the Acquisition, as detailed in section 1 above.
As summarised in Section 2.1 above, 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 proposed issue of the Performance Rights does not fall within any of the Exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
As the Vendors are only related parties by reason of the Acquisition, the Company will not require Listing Rule 10.11 approval for the issue of the Performance Rights as it will rely on Listing Rule 10.12 (Exception 12).
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights. In addition, the issue of the Performance Rights will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, if Resolution 3 is not passed, and assuming Resolution 2 is passed, the Company is required to issue the Performance Rights within 10 business days of the Meeting, under its refreshed placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolutions 2 and 3 are not passed, the Company has agreed to a cash and/or equivalent consideration package (as mutually agreed with the Vendors) of the higher of (i) $175,000, or (ii) the value of 1,750,000 Shares (based on a price per Share equal to the volume weighted average price of Shares for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the date of the Meeting), in lieu of the issue of the Performance Rights, payable within 25 business days of the Meeting.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) the Performance Rights will be issued to the Vendors (or their nominee/s). As the Vendors are only related parties by reason of the Acquisition, the Company will not require Listing Rule 10.11 approval for the issue of the Performance Rights as it will rely on Listing Rule 10.12 (Exception 12);
-
(b) the maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued is 1,750,000. The terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 2;
9
-
(c) the Performance Rights will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Performance Rights will occur on the same date;
-
(d) the Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration, in part consideration for the proposed Acquisition;
-
(e) the Performance Rights are being issued to the Vendors (or their nominee/s) under the Acquisition Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement is set out in Schedule 1;

However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
2. Direction to vote
A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3. Compliance with Listing Rule 14.11
In accordance to Listing Rule 14.11, if you hold Shares on behalf of another person(s) or entity/entities or you are a trustee, nominee, custodian or other fiduciary holder of the Shares, you are required to ensure that the person(s) or entity/entities for which you hold the Shares are not excluded from voting on resolutions where there is a voting exclusion. Listing Rule 14.11 requires you to receive written confirmation from the person or entity providing the voting instruction to you and you must vote in accordance with the instruction provided.
By lodging your proxy votes, you confirm to the Company that you are in compliance with Listing Rule 14.11.

5. Attending the Meeting
Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.
