Shareholders can obtain a copy of the Company’s 2013 Annual Report by sending a request to [email protected] or by downloading a copy from the Company’s website: www.dgrglobal.com
3. Resolution One ‐ Remuneration Report
The Board has submitted its Remuneration Report (included in the 2013 Annual Report) to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non‐binding Advisory Resolution.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report section of the 2013 Annual Report. The Report:

explains the relationship between the Board’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance;

4. Resolution Two ‐ Ratification of Share Placement
4.1 Background
Pursuant to Resolution 2, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to ratify the previous issue of 12,021,658 Shares ( Placement Shares ) to those investors identified in the table below ( Placement Recipients ), each being an investor that falls within one or more of the classes of exemptions specified in section 708 of the Corporations Act.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.4
As noted above, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4, the Company is seeking Shareholders to ratify the previous issue of the Placement Shares, being issues of securities made by the Company during the previous 12 months for which Shareholder approval has not already been obtained.
Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company, except in certain cases, from issuing new equity securities equivalent in number to more than 15% of its capital in any 12 month period without the prior approval of its shareholders.
The Company seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the previous issue of the Placement Shares in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 in order to refresh the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its share capital (in a 12 month period) under Listing Rule 7.1.
Under Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval if the issue:
-
did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 (i.e. the issue did not exceed the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1); and
-
holders of the ordinary securities subsequently approve the issue.
4.3 Terms of the Previous Issue of Shares
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5 the Company advises as follows:
12,021,685 Placement Shares were issued on 6 August 2013.
The Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Recipients at a price of $0.025 per Share.
The Placement Shares rank pari passu with the existing Shares on issue, are not subject to escrow restrictions and are subject to the rights and obligations set out in the Company’s Constitution.

The funds raised by the issue of the Placement Shares have and will continue to be used by the Company for:
-
progress of the Company’s ongoing business plan to list its project based subsidiary companies;
-
progress of the identification and initial exploration of new projects; and
-
payment of other corporate costs and to provide additional working capital.
A Voting Exclusion Statement in relation to this Resolution 2 is set out above.

The Director Options will vest immediately on issue ( Vesting Date ) and be exercisable on or before 30 November 2016.
The terms of the Director Options are set out in more detail below.
Approval for the issue of the Director Options is sought in accordance with the provisions of Listing Rule 10.11 and Part 2E of the Corporations Act. As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1. In order for the Director Options to be granted to a Director, the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act need to be observed.
6.2 Options Terms
A summary of the material terms of the Director Options is set out below:
-
The securities to be issued to each Director are options to subscribe for fully paid Shares.
-
The Director Options are to be issued for no consideration.
-
The exercise price of each Director Option is $0.12 ( Exercise Price ).
-
The Director Options will vest on the date of issue.
-
The Director Options will expire on 30 November 2016 ( Expiry Date ):
-
Shares issued on exercise of the Director Options will rank equally with all existing Shares from the date of issue.
-
The Director Options, once vested, may be exercised wholly or in part by notice in writing to the Company received at any time on or before the Expiry Date together with a cheque for the Exercise Price of the Director Option multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which Director Options are being exercised.
-
The Director Options shall be unlisted but shall be transferable.
-
Upon allotment of Shares pursuant to the exercise of Director Options, the Company shall use its best endeavours to have such Shares quoted and listed on the Official List of the ASX.
-
Option holders do not have any right to participate in new issues of securities in the Company made to Shareholders generally. The Company will, where required pursuant to the Listing Rules, provide Option holders with notice prior to the books record date (to determine entitlements to any new issue of securities made to Shareholders generally) to exercise the Director Options, in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.
-
Option holders do not participate in dividends or in bonus issues unless the Options are exercised and the resultant shares of the Company are issued prior to the record date to determine entitlements to the dividend or bonus issue.
-
In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company:
-
the number of Options, the exercise price, or both will be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules, but with the intention that such reconstruction will not
DGR Global Limited Notice of AGM – 27 November 2013
Page 9 of 22
==> picture [95 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
result in any benefits being conferred on the Option holder which are not conferred on Shareholders; and
-
subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by a meeting of Shareholders of the Company approving a reconstruction of capital, in all other respects the terms for the exercise of the Options will remain unchanged.
-
If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Option holder would have received if the Options had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
-
If, during the life of any Option, there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue), the Exercise Price of an Option may be reduced according to the following formula:
O[1] = O ‐ E [P ‐ (S + D)]
N + 1
where
-
O[1] = the new exercise price of the Option
-
O = the old exercise price of the Option
-
E = the number of underlying securities into which one Option is exercisable
-
P = the average market price per security (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying securities during the five (5) trading days ending on the day before the ex right date or the ex entitlements date
-
S = the subscription price for a security under the pro‐rata issue
-
D = the dividend due but not yet paid on existing underlying securities (except those to be issued under the pro‐rata issue)
-
N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security
-
The terms of the Director Options shall only be changed if holders (whose votes are not to be disregarded) of Shares approve of such a change. However, the terms of the Director Options shall not be changed to reduce the Exercise Price, increase the number of Director Options or change any period for exercise of the Director Options.
6.3 Regulatory Requirements
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of a public company unless the benefit falls within one of various exceptions to the general prohibition. One of the exceptions includes where the company first obtains the approval of its shareholders in general meeting in circumstances where the requirements of Chapter 2E in relation to the convening of that meeting have been met. A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is defined widely and includes a director of the public company.
A “financial benefit” for the purposes of the Corporations Act has a very wide meaning. It includes the public company paying money or issuing securities to the related party. In determining whether or not a financial benefit is being given, it is necessary to look to the economic and commercial substance and effect of what the public company is doing (rather than just the legal form). Any consideration which is given for the financial benefit is to be disregarded, even if it is full or adequate.
DGR Global Limited Notice of AGM – 27 November 2013
Page 10 of 22
==> picture [95 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
The proposed Resolutions 4 to 7, if passed, will confer financial benefits to the Recipients and the Company seeks to obtain member approval in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and for this reason, and for all other purposes, the following information is provided to Shareholders.
(a) The related parties to whom Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 would permit the financial benefit to be given
Each of Mr Mather, Mr Stubbs, Mr Moller and Mr Mascolo (or their respective nominees), being directors of the Company.
(b) The nature of the financial benefit
The nature of the proposed financial benefit to be given is:
-
the grant of 4,750,000 Director Options to Mr Mather as referred to in Resolution 4;
-
the grant of 2,625,000 Director Options to Mr Stubbs as referred to in Resolution 5;
-
the grant of 2,625,000 Director Options to Mr Moller as referred to in Resolution 6;
-
the grant of 2,000,000 Director Options to Mr Mascolo as referred to in Resolution 7;
-
the Director Options shall be issued for no cash consideration; and
-
the Director Options shall be exercisable into fully paid Shares at an exercise price of $0.12 each expiring on or before 30 November 2016.
(c) Directors’ Recommendation
With respect to Resolution 4, Mr Stubbs, Mr Moller and Mr Mascolo recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. The reasons for their recommendation include:
-
(i) the grant of the Director Options as proposed to Mr Mather will provide him with reward and incentive for future services he will provide to the Company to further the progress the Company;
-
(ii) the Director Options are not intended as a substitute for salary or wages or as a means for compensation for past services rendered; and
-
(iii) in the Company’s circumstances as they existed as at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum, Mr Stubbs, Mr Moller and Mr Mascolo considered that the incentive provided a cost‐effective and efficient incentive as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (eg cash bonuses, increased remuneration). However, it must be recognised that there will be an opportunity cost to the Company, being the price at which the Company could grant the Director Options to a third party.
As Mr Mather is interested in the outcome of Resolution 4, he accordingly makes no recommendation to Shareholders in respect of this Resolution.
With respect to Resolution 5, Mr Mather, Mr Moller and Mr Mascolo recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. The reasons for their recommendation include:
-

-
(ii) the Director Options are not intended as a substitute for salary or wages or as a means for compensation for past services rendered; and
-
(iii) in the Company’s circumstances as they existed as at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum, Mr Mather, Mr Moller and Mr Mascolo considered that the incentive provided a cost‐effective and efficient incentive as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (eg cash bonuses, increased remuneration). However, it must be recognised that there will be an opportunity cost to the Company, being the price at which the Company could grant the Director Options to a third party.
As Mr Stubbs is interested in the outcome of Resolution 5, he accordingly makes no recommendation to Shareholders in respect of this Resolution.

(iii) in the Company’s circumstances as they existed as at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum, Mr Mather, Mr Stubbs and Mr Moller considered that the incentive provided a cost‐effective and efficient incentive as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (eg cash bonuses, increased remuneration). However, it must be recognised that there will be an opportunity cost to the Company, being the price at which the Company could grant the Director Options to a third party.
As Mr Mascolo is interested in the outcome of Resolution 7, he accordingly makes no recommendation to Shareholders in respect of this Resolution.

Assuming that none of the following current unlisted options ( Unlisted Options* ) on issue are exercised:
-
(a) 16,000,000 existing directors’ options exercisable at $0.28 each, expiring 29 November 2013;
-
(b) 8,750,000 employee options exercisable at $0.28 each, expiring on 28 February 2014;
-
(c) 4,634,838 underwriting options exercisable at $0.06 each, expiring 1 October 2014;
-
(d) 300,000 employee options exercisable at $0.28 each, expiring on 28 February 2015;
-
(e) 5,000,000 employee options exercisable at $0.28 each, expiring on 24 April 2015.
(e) Valuation
The Director Options are not currently quoted on the ASX and as such have no market value. The Director Options each grant the holder thereof a right to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of each Director Option and payment of the Exercise Price of the Director Option described above. Accordingly, the Director Options may have a present value at the date of their grant.
The Director Options may acquire future value dependent upon the extent to which the Shares exceed the Exercise Price of the Director Options during the term of the Director Options.
As a general proposition, options to subscribe for ordinary fully paid shares in a company have value. Various factors impact upon the value of options including things such as:
-
the period outstanding before the expiry date of the options;
-
the exercise price of the options relative to the underlying price or value of the securities into which they may be converted;
-
the proportion of the issued capital as expanded consequent upon exercise represented by the shares issued upon exercise (ie. whether or not the shares that might be acquired upon exercise of the options represent a controlling or other significant interest);
-
the value of the shares into which the options may be converted; and
-
whether or not the options are listed (ie readily capable of being liquidated), and so on.
There are various formulae which can be applied to determining the theoretical value of options (including the formula known as the Black‐Scholes Model option valuation formula).
The Company has sought an independent valuation of the Director Options from RFC Corporate Finance Ltd. The method used to value the options was the Black‐Scholes Model, which is the most widely used and recognised model for pricing options. The value of an option calculated by the Black‐Scholes Model is a function of the relationship between a number of variables, being the price of the underlying Share at the time of issue, the exercise price, the time to expiry, the risk‐free interest rate, the volatility of the Company’s underlying Share price and expected dividends.
Inherent in the application of the Black‐Scholes Model are a number of inputs, some of which must be assumed. The data relied upon in the valuation applying the Black‐Scholes Model was:
-
an exercise price of the options being $0.12;
-
a market price of Shares of $0.045 being the closing price of Shares prior to the 1 October 2013 valuation, as a proxy for the market price at the future date of issue, being the date of the Annual General Meeting to approve the issue;
DGR Global Limited Notice of AGM – 27 November 2013
Page 14 of 22
==> picture [95 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
-
the Director Options vesting on the date of issue, being 27 November 2013;
-
the Expiry Date of 30 November 2016.
-
a volatility measure of 100%;
-
a risk‐free interest rate of 2.77%; and
-
a dividend yield of 0.00%.
Some relatively minor variables were included in the calculation to estimate the value of Director Option as “American style” options (being exercisable at any time prior to the stated expiry date). Theoretically, the Black‐Scholes Model prices “European style” options (being exercisable only on this exercise date).
Based on the valuation, the Company has adopted an indicative value for the Director Options of $0.0195 each.
On that basis, the respective value of the Director Options to be issued pursuant to Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 are as follows:
-
Mr Mather – $92,625
-
Mr Stubbs – $51,187
-
Mr Moller – $51,187
-
Mr Mascolo – $39,000
(f) Any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors
There is no other information known to the Company or any of the Directors save and except as follows:
Market Price movements:
The option valuation noted above is based on a market price of the Shares at the time of the valuation dated 1 October 2013 of $0.045.
There is a possibility that the market price of the Shares on the date of issue of the Director Options will be different to this and that the market price of the Shares will change up to the date of the Annual General Meeting.
The effect on the valuation per option of movements in the market price of the Shares is set out below:
| Market Price | Valuation per option |
|---|---|
| $0.003 | 1.05 cents |
| $0.004 | 1.63 cents |
| $0.005 | 2.26 cents |
| $0.006 | 2.94 cents |
| $0.007 | 3.64 cents |
| $0.008 | 4.39 cents |
Opportunity Costs
The opportunity costs and benefits foregone by the Company issuing the Director Options to Mr Mather, Mr Stubbs, Mr Moller and Mr Mascolo, or their respective nominee, is the potentially diluted impact on the issued Share capital of the Company (in the event that the Director Options are exercised). Until exercised, the issue of
DGR Global Limited Notice of AGM – 27 November 2013
Page 15 of 22
==> picture [95 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
the Director Options will not impact upon the number of Shares on issue in the Company. To the extent that upon their exercise the dilutionary impact caused by the issue of the Shares will be detrimental to the Company, this is more than offset by the advantages accruing from the Company securing the services of experienced and skilled directors on appropriate incentive terms. It is also considered that the potential increase of value in the Director Options is dependent upon a concomitant increase in the value of the Company generally.
Trading History of the Shares
As at 1 October 2013, the closing price of Shares on ASX was $0.045.
Set out below is the trading history of the Shares over the past 12 months.
| Market Price 6 months prior to Notice of Meeting |
Market Prices 12 months prior to Notice of Meeting |
|
|---|---|---|
| High | 5.9 cents | 6.5 cents |
| Low | 2.2 cents | 2.2 cents |
| VWAP | 3.8 cents | 4.2 cents |
Taxation Consequences
No stamp duty will be payable in respect of the grant of the Director Options. No GST will be payable by the Company in respect of the grant of the Director Options (or if it is then it will be recoverable as an input credit).
AASB 2 “Share Based Payments” requires that these payments shall be measured at the more readily determinable fair value of the equity instrument. Under the accounting standards this amount will be expensed in the statement of financial performance. Where the grant date and the vesting date are different the total expenditure calculated will be allocated between the two dates taking into account the terms and conditions attached to the instruments and the counterparties as well as management’s assumptions about probabilities of payments and compliance with and attainment of the set out terms and conditions.
Dilutionary Effect
The dilutionary effect on the Company and its shareholders is summarized in the table on page 13 above.
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 requires an entity to obtain the approval of shareholders to an issue of securities to a related party. Each of Mr Mather, Mr Stubbs, Mr Moller and Mr Mascolo, being a Director of the Company, is a related party. Accordingly, because the issue of the Director Options will result in the Company issuing securities to a related party, approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is required.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the Company advises as follows:
-
The maximum number of Director Options to be issued to Mr Mather, Mr Stubbs, Mr Moller and Mr Mascolo is 12,000,000 Director Options, being:
-
4,750,000 Director Options to Mr Mather or his associate;
-
2,625,000 Director Options to Mr Stubbs or his associate;
-
2,625,000 Director Options to Mr Moller or his associate;
DGR Global Limited Notice of AGM – 27 November 2013
Page 16 of 22
==> picture [95 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
-
2,000,000 Director Options to Mr Mascolo or his associate.
-
The Director Options are intended to be granted as soon as possible following the meeting, but in any event, within one (1) month of the date of the Meeting.
-
The Director Options are being issued for nil consideration.
-
No funds are being raised by the grant of the Director Options, but up to $1,440,000 would be raised in the future via their exercise. The money raised would be used for:
-
progress of the Company’s ongoing business plan to list its project based subsidiary companies;
-
progress of the identification and initial exploration of new projects; and
-
payment of other corporate costs and to provide additional working capital.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, as approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required to be obtained under Listing Rule 7.1.
Save as set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors are not aware of any other information that will be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to benefits contemplated by Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Voting restrictions
There are restrictions on voting on Resolutions 4 ‐ 7 (inclusive) by Directors and their associates and KMP and their Closely Related Parties, for additional details please refer to the Voting Exclusion Statement in relation to Resolutions 4 – 7 (inclusive) of the Notice of Meeting.
Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chairman will be cast by the Chairman and counted in favour of the Resolutions the subject of this Meeting, including Resolutions 4 – 7 (inclusive), subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.
7. Resolution 8 – Approval of Employee Share Option Plan
7.1 Background
Pursuant to Resolution 8 the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the potential future issue of securities under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan ( ESOP ) as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
The Board of the Company adopted the ESOP, as a means of rewarding its key employees. A summary of the terms of the ESOP are set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum. The full terms of the ESOP are available via DGR Global’s website (www.dgrglobal.com).
The ESOP replaces and updates the existing ESOP which was originally adopted by the Company prior to its admission to ASX in 2003 and which the Board considered was out of date and ill‐suited for the current nature of the Company’s operations and employee base.
7.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Subject to certain exemptions (none of which are relevant here) Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a listed company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities (including shares or options) in any 12 month period which amounts to more than 15% of the Company’s ordinary securities on issue without shareholder approval.
As a result, any issue of securities by the Company to eligible employees under the ESOP would reduce the Company’s 15% capacity to issue Shares under Listing Rule 7.1.
DGR Global Limited Notice of AGM – 27 November 2013
Page 17 of 22
==> picture [95 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2 however, allows a company to issue securities without specific shareholder approval and without reducing the 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 where shareholders of a company have approved the issue of securities under an ESOP as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 within three (3) years prior to the issue of the securities. Resolution 8 is being put to the Shareholders for this purpose and will allow the Company to utilise Exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.2 for three (3) years from the date of the Resolution being passed.
7.3 Information for Shareholders
In accordance with Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2 the Company advises as follows:
A summary of the terms of the ESOP are set out in Annexure A;
The following options are currently on issue under the employee share option plan:
-
8,750,000 employee options exercisable at $0.28 each expiring on 28 February 2014;
-
300,000 employee options exercisable at $0.28 expiring on 28 February 2015;
-
5,000,000 employee options exercisable at $0.28 expiring on 24 April 2015.
As Directors are eligible to participate in the ESOP, a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting in relation to Directors and KMP and their associates.
Participation of Directors
Whilst under the provisions of the ESOP Directors are eligible to participate in the plan, no Options will be issued to Directors (or their nominees) unless further specific approval for the issue of those Options is obtained pursuant to the provisions of Listing Rule 10.11.
Due to a potential interest in the outcome of this Resolution 8, the Directors make no recommendation as to how you should vote on this Ordinary Resolution.
Voting restrictions
There are restrictions on voting on this resolution by Directors and their associates and KMP and their Closely Related Parties, for additional details please refer to the Voting Exclusion Statement in Resolution 8 of the Notice of Meeting.
Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chairman will be cast by the Chairman and counted in favour of the Resolutions the subject of this Meeting, including this Resolution 8, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.
