EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10.00am (WST) on 9 June 2008 at Level 1, 35 Richardson Street, West Perth, Western Australia.
This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1-4 – APPOINTMENT OF AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS
On 16 April 2008, the Directors were served with a Notice of Requisition of General Meeting under Section 249D executed by Shareholders holding 5.61% of the issued Shares in the Company ( Requisition Notice ). The Requisition Notice requires that the Company put to Shareholders the Resolutions contained in Resolutions 1 to 4 for the removal of Charles Morgan and Ayaz Khan as Directors and the appointment of Ivor Findlay and David Archibald as Directors in their place.
Pursuant to Section 203D of the Corporations Act, a public company may by resolution remove a director from office regardless of any provision in that company’s constitution or any agreement between the director and the company.
A director who is the subject of a resolution to remove them as a director is entitled to put their case to the members of the company by giving the company a written statement for circulation to members and speaking to the motion at the general meeting.
2. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – PLACEMENT SHARES
2.1 General
On 22 April 2008, the Company issued 5,000,000 Shares pursuant to a placement to raise $300,000.
The subscribers pursuant to this issue were not related parties of the Company.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Placement Ratification ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified 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 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, and assuming Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
1
2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Share Ratification:
-
(a) 5,000,000 Shares were allotted;
-
(b) the issue price was $0.06 per Share;
-
(c) 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;
-
(d) the Shares were allotted and issued to a number of sophisticated investors with the majority being issued to Argonaut Equity Partners Pty Limited, AFM Perseus Fund Limited and Mr Craig Burton; and
-
(e) the funds raised from this issue will be used for the continuation of the Company’s exploration programme at its Liberty Indee Project in northern Western Australia.
3. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – OPTIONS
3.1 General
On 21 December 2007, the Company issued 1,500,000 Options to various parties in return for professional services provided by those parties to the Company.
The subscribers pursuant to this issue were not related parties of the Company.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Options ( Option Ratification ).
A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 are outlined in Section 2.1 above.
By ratifying this issue, assuming Resolution 5 is also passed, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Option Ratification:
-
(f) 1,500,000 Options were allotted;
-
(g) the Options were issued for nil cash consideration as payment for professional services provided by the recipients to the Company;
-
(h)
-
the terms of the Options are outlined in Schedule 1;
-
(i) the Options were allotted and issued to the following parties:
| Name | No. of Options |
|---|---|
| Jeremy Slater | 1,400,000 |
2
| Lillis Services Pty Ltd | 15,000 |
|---|---|
| BKM Management Limited | 50,000 |
| Bee Hun Thean | 35,000 |
(j) no funds were raised from the issue of the Options as they were issued in consideration for professional services provided by those parties to the Company.
4. RESOLUTION 7 – ISSUE OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS
4.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 1,500,000 Options ( Director Options ) to Seaspin Pty Ltd, a company controlled by Mr Charles Morgan ( Related Party ) on the terms and conditions set out below.
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(k) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(l) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
The grant of the Director Options to the Related Party requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and as an entity controlled by a Director, Seaspin Pty Ltd is a related party of the Company.
It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options to the Related Party.
4.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Options:
- (a) the related party is Seaspin Pty Ltd and it is a related party by virtue of being an entity controlled by Charles Morgan, a Director of the Company;
3
-
(b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Party is 1,500,000 Director Options;
-
(c) the Director Options will be granted to the Related Party no later than 1 month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date;
-
(d) the Director Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;
-
(e) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 2;
-
(f) the value of the Director Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 3;
-
(g) the relevant interests of the Related Party in securities of the Company through Mr Charles Morgan are set out below;
| Related Party | Shares | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Charles Morgan | 1,500,000 | 1,200,000 |
- (h) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to Mr Charles Morgan (the controller of the Related Party) for both the current financial year and previous financial year are set out below:
| Related Party | Current Financial Year |
Previous Financial Year |
|---|---|---|
| Charles Morgan | $60,000 | $73,000 |
(i) if the Director Options granted to the Related Party are exercised, a total of 1,500,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 65,173,730 to 66,673,730 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued other than the Shares to be issued under the Entitlement Issue Prospectus dated 24 April 2008) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:
| Related Party | Issued Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting* |
Director Options to be issued |
Issued Shares upon exercise of all Director Options |
Dilutionary effect upon exercise of Director Options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seaspin Pty Ltd |
65,173,730 | 1,500,000 | 66,673,730 | 2.2% |
- Includes the Shares to be issued under the Entitlement Issue Prospectus dated 24 April 2008
The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are
4
trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
- (j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | 30 cents | 17 December 2007 |
| Lowest | 5.4 cents | 4 March 2008 |
| Last | 9 cents | 29 April 2008 |
-
(k) the primary purpose of the grant of Director Options to the Related Party is to provide cost effective consideration to Charles Morgan, the controller of the Related Party, for his ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in his role as a Director. 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;
-
(l) Charles Morgan declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 7, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7. The Board (other than Charles Morgan) is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution;
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to the Related Party will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form
-
A member entitled to attend and vote at an General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on a poll on their behalf. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.
-
Where a member’s holding is in one name the holder must sign. Where the holding is in more than one name, all members should sign.
-
Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under a power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this Proxy Form.
-
Corporate members should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
-
2 directors of the company;
-
a director and a company secretary of the company; or
-
for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.
For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
-
Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the General Meeting.
-
To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
-
(a) post to Jutt Holdings Limited, c/o PO Box 8694, Armadale, VIC 3143;
