Explanatory Memorandum
Introduction
This Explanatory Memorandum is provided to shareholders of DGR Global Limited ( Company ) to explain the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at Level 7, Waterfront Place, 1 Eagle Street, Brisbane Qld 4000, on 10 April 2024 commencing at 11:00am (Brisbane time).
The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
Background for Resolution 1 and Resolution 2
As announced on 17 January 2024, the Company entered into a facility agreement with Choice Investments (Dubbo) Pty Limited ACN 112 796 237 ( Choice ) ( Facility Agreement ). Under the Facility Agreement, Choice agreed to provide funding to the Company in 2 tranches with the initial tranche ( Tranche 1 ) being up to $10m and potentially a further maximum $5m under a second tranche ( Tranche 2 ) which may be provided by Choice and/or Co-Lenders.
The Facility Agreement provides that funds received under it by DGR are to be used for the purposes of providing a loan to receivers and/or administrators of Armour Energy Ltd, funding DGR’s working capital requirements and general corporate purposes and any other purpose agreed with Choice. While the Company previously announced in January 2024 its intention of using the funds to provide a loan to receivers and /or administrators of Armour Energy Ltd, as at the date of this notice, the Company intends to use the funds for the purpose of funding the Company’s working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.
The key terms of the Facility Agreement are summarised in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum.
In consideration for Choice entering into the Facility Agreement, the Company agreed to enter into an Option Agreement under which it granted Options to Choice and the Co-Lenders (as applicable) (together, The Lenders ) on the terms set out in the Option Agreement. The Option terms are summarised in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum.
Under the Option Agreement, the Options are to be issued in four tranches and are to be allocated between The Lenders as follows:
-
(a) 30,000,000 Options ( Tranche 1 Options ) granted to Choice on the terms set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum;
-
(b) 120,000,000 Options ( Tranche 2 Options ) granted to Choice and the Co-Lender on the terms set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum and in proportions between The Lenders as notified by Choice;
-
(c) 30,000,000 Options ( Tranche 3 Options ) granted to Choice and the Co-Lender on the terms set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum and in proportions between The Lenders as notified by Choice; and
-
(d) Up to 80,000,000 Options ( Tranche 4 Options ) granted to the Co-Lender, on the basis that 5,000,000 Options may be issued if DGR requests, and Choice makes available to the Company $5,000,000 in funds under Tranche 2 ( Tranche 4A Options ) and up to 75,000,000 Options for further funds that may be received under Tranche 2 ( Tranche 4B Options ), on the terms set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum and in proportions as notified by Choice.
Under the Option Agreement, the Tranche 1 Options were to be granted to Choice by DGR on execution of the Facility Agreement. The Tranche 2 Options were to be granted by DGR to The Lenders on the date on
==> picture [88 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
which DGR first delivered a utilisation request and received funds pursuant thereto under the Facility Agreement.
The Company has drawn down $5 million under Tranche 1 and received these funds on or about 19 January 2024. As such, the Company has granted the Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options to The Lenders. Given the Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options have been issued, they are subject to shareholder ratification under Resolution 1.
The Company does not currently intend to drawdown any further funds under the Facility Agreement. Should the Company seek to drawdown further funds under the Facility Agreement, the Company will seek the required approval for the issue the Tranche 4 Options at a later date.
The Tranche 3 Options, subject to the obtainment of any shareholder approval, are to be granted upon the delivery by the Company of a utilisation request and receipt of funds under the Facility Agreement. As the Company has drawn down $5 million under the Facility Agreement, the Tranche 3 Options are required to be issued to The Lenders. The Company does not have sufficient capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Tranche 3 Options and therefore seeks shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1
1. Resolution 1 - Ratification of Options under Listing Rule 7.4
1.1 Background
The Company issued 150,000,000 Options, comprising the Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options, pursuant to the Option Agreement in March 2024 without prior Shareholder approval under the Company’s 15% annual capacity as set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4, to restore the Company’s capacity to issue securities, it is proposed that Shareholders ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options as detailed below.
1.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4
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 its fully paid ordinary issued capital at the commencement of that 12 month period ( 15% Capacity ).
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5:
| _(7.5.1)_Name of the persons to whom the Securities were issued |
The Company issued the Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options to Choice Investments (Dubbo) Pty Limited ACN 112 796 237 (Choice). |
|---|---|
| _(7.5.2)_Number and class of securities |
150,000,000 Options, comprising the Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options were issued to Choice. |
| _(7.5.3)_If not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of material terms |
A summary of the terms attaching to the Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options are summarised in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum. The Options have an exercise price of $0.03 unless otherwise adjusted on the terms as set out in section 2 of Schedule 2. |
==> picture [88 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
| _(7.5.4)_Date of issue | 28 February 2024 |
|---|---|
| _(7.5.5)_Issue Price | The Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options were issued for nil cash consideration and were issued in consideration of Choice entering into the Facility Agreement. The terms of the Facility Agreement are summarised in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum. |
| _(7.5.6)_The purpose of the issue |
The Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options were issued under the Option Agreement to Choice in consideration of Choice entering into the Facility Agreement with the Company. |
| _(7.5.7)_Summary of material terms of the relevant agreement |
The key terms of the Facility Agreement are summarised in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum and the Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options terms are summarised in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum. |
| _(7.5.8)_Voting exclusion statement |
A voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 1. |
1.3 Outcome for voting for and against the Resolution
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Options issued to Choice will be excluded from the Company’s 15% Capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, maintaining the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue of the Options pursuant to Resolution 1.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Options issued to Choice will be included in the Company’s 15% Capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Options pursuant to Resolution 1.
1.4 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
2. Resolution 2 - Issue of 30,000,000 Options to The Lenders
2.1 Background
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to issue 30,000,000 Options (the Tranche 3 Options) pursuant to the Option Agreement.
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
The Company seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Tranche 3 Options to The Lenders.
Subject to certain exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a listed company from issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities equivalent in number to more than 15% of its ordinary securities on issue in the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement (if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more) or the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement (if the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months) without the approval of its shareholders.
The issuing of the Tranche 3 Options would exceed the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and as such Shareholder approval is required. Resolution 2 therefore seeks Shareholder approval so as to enable the Company to issue the Tranche 3 Options in compliance with Listing Rule 7.1.
==> picture [88 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
2.3 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:
| _(7.3.1)_Name of the persons receiving the securities |
Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Options are to be issued to: 1. Choice Investments (Dubbo) Pty Limited ACN 112 796 237 (Choice); and 2. Any person notified by Choice under the Option Agreement (Co- Lender) (together,The Lenders) |
|---|---|
| _(7.3.2)_Number and class of securities |
The number of securities to be issued to The Lenders is 30,000,000 Options. |
| _(7.3.3)_If not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of material terms |
A summary of the material terms pursuant to which the Tranche 3 Options will be issued is set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum. The Options have an exercise price of $0.03 unless otherwise adjusted on the terms as set out in section 2 of Schedule 2. |
| (7.3.4) Date of issue | The Tranche 3 Options will be issued as soon as possible and, in any event, within three (3) months of the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting. |
| (7.3.5) Issue Price | The Tranche 3 Options will be issued for nil cash consideration and are being issued in consideration of Choice entering into the Facility Agreement. |
| _(7.3.6)_The purpose of the issue |
The Tranche 3 Options are being issued under the Option Agreement to The Lenders in consideration of Choice entering into the Facility Agreement with the Company. |
| _(7.3.7)_Summary of material terms of the relevant agreement |
The key terms of the Facility Agreement are summarised in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum and the Tranche 3 Options terms are summarised in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum. |
| _(7.3.8)_Reverse Takeover |
The Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover. |
| (_7.3.9)_Voting exclusion statement |
A voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 2. |
2.4 Outcome of voting for and against Resolution 2
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the Tranche 3 Options to The Lenders in compliance with its obligations under the Option Agreement.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will be unable to issue the Tranche 3 Options and under the Option Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Choice (and if applicable the Co-Lender) in immediately available funds an amount equal to:
A = (B – C) x D
Where:
A = the amount to be paid by the Company, provided that if the number is negative then there is to be no payment;
==> picture [88 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
B = the aggregate after tax net tangible asset value of the Company and its subsidiaries calculated in accordance with accounting standards imposed by the Corporations Act, divided by the number of Shares on issue as at 28 February 2024;[1]
C = Exercise Price of the Tranche 3 Options as at the relevant date; and
D = the number of Tranche 3 Options that would have been issued to Choice or the relevant CoLender, as applicable, had shareholder approval for the grant of the Options been approved.
Under the Facility Agreement, the Company would be required to make payment in immediately available funds for the Tranche 3 Options as a utilisation request was delivered and funds were received under the Facility Agreement Using the equation as set out above, this would result in a payment of $540,000. As a worked example:
A = (0.048 – 0.03) * 30,000,000
Where:
B= 0.048
C= 0.03
D= 30,000,000Tranche 3 Options
This would significantly impact the Company’s financial reserves and would be required to be paid under the Facility Agreement.

Schedule 2 - Summary of Material Terms of Options
==> picture [88 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
-
( Issue Price ): The Options will be issued for nil cash consideration. The Company has agreed to grant the Options to The Lenders in consideration of Choice entering into the Facility Agreement.
-
( Exercise Price ): The exercise price of each Option is the lower of:
-
(a) $0.03; and
-
(b) If, while any amounts owing under the Facility Agreement remain outstanding, the Company makes an issue of Equity Securities (other than the Options and any Equity Securities issued pursuant to an ESOP, capped at 5% of the issued Shares of the Company as at the date of this document) and the issue price of the Equity Securities (or in the case of options or convertible securities, the price at which Shares would be issued under the Equity Security) is less than $0.03, and the diluted percentage of those Equity Securities exceeds 15% of the number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Option Agreement:
-
(1) The Adjusted Price; or
-
(2) In the case of a series of issuances, the volume weighted Adjusted Price in relation to those issuances.
-
For the purposes of determining the Exercise Price:
Adjusted Price means the price calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A + B) / C , where:
A = market capitalisation of the Company on the Trading Day immediately prior to the issue of the Equity Securities
B = the number of Equity Securities the subject of the issue, multiplied by their issue price; and
C = the number of Shares on issue immediately prior to the issue of Equity Securities plus the fully diluted number of the issued Equity Securities.
[For illustrative purposes, assume the Company’s Shares are trading at $0.03 per Share on ASX and it announces an issue of 157,598,093 Shares (representing approximately 15.1% of the current issued capital) at an issue price of $0.025 for each Share, the Exercise Price will be reduced from $0.03 to $0.0293][2]
-
( Exercise Period ): The Options may be exercised during the period commencing on the date of the Option issuance and expiring on the date that is 3 years after the date funds are first drawn under the Facility Agreement ( Expiry Date ). Options not exercised by the Expiry Date will automatically lapse.
-
(Entitlement ): Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully paid Share upon exercise of the Option and payment of the Exercise Price prior to the Expiry Date.
-
(Exercise) : The Options can be exercised in whole or in part. The minimum number of Options that can be exercised is an amount equal to $250,000 divided by the applicable Exercise Price for the Options (unless the amount of Options that can be exercised by an Option holder is less than $250,000 divided by the applicable Exercise Price for the Options, in which case all Options must be exercised at one time). The Options may be exercised by giving written notice to the Company together with payment of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Options being exercised, at any time during the Exercise Period.
2 Based on 1,043,695,978 Shares being on issue immediately prior to the issue of the Equity Securities resulting in the formula of (A+B)/C being constituted by the following: ($31,310,879 + $3,939,952)/1,201,294,071 = Adjusted Price of $0.0293.
==> picture [88 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
-
