Listing Rule 7.4
As noted above, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4, the Company is seeking Shareholders ratification of the previous issue of 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 Interest 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 Rules 7.4 and 7.5, 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.

Background
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the previous issue of 6,000,000 unlisted options over ordinary shares (Underwriting Options) to Bizzell Capital Partners Pty Ltd (Underwriter), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement entered into on 4 November 2015 between the Company and the Underwriter in connection with the Company’s institutional and retail non-renounceable accelerated entitlement issue of AUD$4,910,682. The Underwriting Options are exercisable at $0.06 each, vested immediately on their allotment, and will expire on 14 December 2017. The terms of the Underwriting Options are set out in more detail below.
Listing Rule 7.4
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 and 7.5, the Company is seeking Shareholders ratification of the previous issue of Underwriting Options, being issues of securities made by the Company during the previous 12 months for which Shareholder approval has not already been obtained.
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.
Terms of the Previous Issue of Underwriting Options
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5 the Company advises as follows:
-
1) The number of securities issued – Listing Rule 7.5.1
-
6,000,000 unlisted options were issued to Underwriter on 14 December 2015.
-
2) The price at which the securities were issued – Listing Rule 7.5.2
- Option exercisable price is $0.06 each, vest immediately on their allotment, and will expire 14 December 2017,
-
3) The terms of the securities – Listing Rule 7.5.3
A summary of the material terms of the Underwriting Options is set out below:
-
The securities to be issued to the Underwriter are options to subscribe for fully paid Shares.
-
The Underwriting Options are to be issued for no consideration.
-
The exercise price of the Underwriting Option is $0.06 ( Exercise Price ).
-
The Underwriting Options will vest on the date of allotment.
-
The Underwriting Options will expire on 14 December 2017 ( Expiry Date ).
-
Shares issued on exercise of the Underwriting Options will rank equally with all existing Shares from the date of issue.
-
The Underwriting Options 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 Underwriting Option multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which Underwriting Options are being exercised.
-
The Underwriting Options shall be unlisted but shall be transferable.
-
Upon allotment of Shares pursuant to the exercise of Underwriting Options, the Company shall use its best endeavours to have such Shares quoted and listed on the Official List of the ASX.
-
As the holder of the Underwriting Options only, the Underwriter does 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 the Underwriter with notice
Page 8 of 16
==> picture [116 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
prior to the books record date (to determine entitlements to any new issue of securities made to Shareholders generally) to exercise the Underwriting Options, in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.
-
The Option holder does 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 Underwriting 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 result in any benefits being conferred on the Underwriter 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 Underwriting Options will remain unchanged.
-
If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares, the number of Shares over which an Underwriting Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Underwriter would have received if the Options had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
-
If, during the life of any Underwriting Option, there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue), the Exercise Price of an Underwriting 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 Underwriting Options
-
O = the old exercise price of the Underwriting Options
-
E = the number of underlying securities into which one Underwriting 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 Underwriting 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 Underwriting Options shall not be changed to reduce the Exercise Price, increase the number of Underwriting Options or change any period for exercise of the Underwriting Options.
-
4) The names of the persons to whom the entity issued – Listing Rule 7.5.4
The options were issued to Bizzell Capital Partner Pty Ltd for the underwriting services undertaken for the Company’s 2015 non-renounceable entitlement offer.
- 5) The use of the funds raised – Listing Rule 7.5.5
No funds were raised from the allotment of the options.

7. Resolution 5 – Approval of Employee Share Option Plan
Background
Pursuant to Resolution 5 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.
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.
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 5 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.
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, and were allotted since the plan was last approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2013 AGM:
-
9,500,000 employee options exercisable at $0.12 each expiring on 29 May 2017;
-
23,000,000 employee options exercisable at $0.065 expiring on 30 September 2017;
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 5, the Directors make no recommendation as to how you should vote on this Ordinary Resolution.

Voting restrictions

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 5, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.
