DIATREME RESOURCES LIMITED (ACN 061 267 061) Explanatory Notes
These Explanatory Notes have been prepared for the information of members in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General meeting of Diatreme Resources Limited to be held at the Registered Office of the Company, Level 2, 87 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill, Qld, on Thursday 26 May 2016 at 2.00 pm.
These Explanatory Notes form part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Consider the Company’s Annual Report
The Company’s Annual Report comprising the Directors’ Report and Auditors’ Report, Directors’ Declaration, Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to and forming part of the accounts for the Company and its controlled entities for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 is placed before Shareholders for discussion. No voting is required for this item.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s Annual Report is available on its website at www.diatreme.com.au
Resolution 1: Remuneration Report
The Board has submitted its Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a nonbinding advisory resolution.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report section of the 2015 Annual Report.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to propose a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies.
Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a "spill resolution") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's directors (other than the Managing Director and CEO as applicable) must be put up for re-election.
The vote on the Remuneration Report contained in the Company's 2014 Annual Financial Statements was passed with the support of more than 75% of votes thus a spill resolution will not be required in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2015 Remuneration Report. However, in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2015 Remuneration Report, shareholders should be aware that if there is a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at the same resolution at the following year’s Annual General Meeting the consequences are that it may result in the re-election of the Board.
Proxy Restriction
Key Management Personnel (KMP) and their proxies and Closely Related Parties are restricted from voting on a resolution (Voting Restriction) put to Shareholders that the remuneration report of the Company be adopted.
The Voting Restriction does not apply where:
- (a) the Chairman or any other KMP is appointed in writing (by a Shareholder who is not a KMP or a closely related party of a KMP) as a proxy with specific instructions on how to vote on a resolution to adopt the remuneration report of the Company; or
Page 5 of 11
(b) the Chairman is appointed in writing (by a Shareholder who is not a KMP or a Closely Related Party of a KMP) as a proxy with no specific instructions on how to vote on a resolution to adopt the remuneration report, where the Shareholder provides express authorisation for the Chairman to vote on the resolution.
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 1, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and Listing Rules
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report. A vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Resolution 2: Re-Election of Mr Yufeng Zuang as a Director
Mr Zhuang was appointed as a director of the Company on 1 August 2013 and in accordance with the Constitution of the Company, Mr Zhuang will retire at the Annual General Meeting and being eligible, offers himself for election.
Details of Mr. Zhuang’s experience and qualifications are set out in the section “Directors’ Report” within the Annual Report.
The Directors recommend that the resolution be passed.
Resolution 3: Re-Election of Mr Cheng Wang as a Director
Pursuant to the Constitution of the Company, one-third of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to one-third, except the Managing Director, are required to retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting. Additionally, under ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a Director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment, or three years whichever is longer. A Director who retires in accordance with these provisions is eligible for re-election.
Mr. Wang has been a director of the Company since May 2011. He retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution of the Company, but being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
Details of Mr. Wang’s experience and qualifications are set out in the section “Directors’ Report” within the Annual Report.
The Directors recommend that the resolution be passed.
Resolution 4: Ratification of prior issue of shares
This Resolution seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of a total of 41,666,667 Shares to sophisticated investor Mr. Longqian Zhuang (who is an exempt investor and is not a related party of the Company). These shares from part of the placement as announced to ASX on 8 December 2014.
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 provides that where a company’s shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the prior issue of 41,666,667 Shares to Mr. Longqian Zhuang, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.
The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
-
(a) The number of securities previously issued was 41,666,667 Shares;
-
(b) The issue price of the Shares was $0.012 (1.2 cents) per Share;
-
(c) The securities issued were fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company having the same terms and rights as, and ranking equally with, the Company's existing listed fully paid ordinary Shares;
-
(d) The Shares were issued to sophisticated investor Mr. Longqian Zhuang, who is an exempt investor and is not a related party of the Company;
-
(e) Funds raised by the issue of the shares were used to fund the Company’s project activities and for working capital;
Page 6 of 11
(f) A voting exclusion statement is contained in the Notice of General Meeting.
The Directors recommend that the resolution be passed.
Resolution 5: Approval of additional 10% placement facility
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities of up to 10% of its issued ordinary share capital through placements over a 12 month period following the entity’s annual general meeting ( Additional 10% Placement Facility ). The Additional 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, as at the time of the entity’s annual general meeting. The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice of Annual General Meeting and is expected to be an eligible entity as at the time of the Annual General Meeting.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility throughout the 12 months after the Annual General Meeting. The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the period set out below.
Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (set out below).
The Company is seeking a mandate to issue securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility to enable the Company to pursue its growth strategy with the flexibility to act quickly as potential business opportunities arise. Regulatory Requirements
In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.3A, Shareholders are advised of the following information:
a) Minimum Issue Price
Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has on issue two classes of quoted Equity Securities, namely Shares and Options.
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must not be lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the Equity Securities are issued; or
-
the date on which the price of Equity Securities is agreed, provided that the issue is thereafter completed within 5 business days.
-
b) Dilution
As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has 809,967,559 Shares on issue. If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the Company will have the capacity to issue approximately 80,996,756 Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.
The precise number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
1) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
2) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months; 3) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4;
-
4) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that “A” has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
Page 7 of 11
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below (in the case of Options, only if the Options are exercised) to the extent Shareholders do not receive any Equity Securities under such issues. There is a risk that:
-
the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting.
The below table also shows:
-
two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of fully paid ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of fully paid ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Facility.
-
No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Page 8 of 11
-
The market price is 1.3 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 13 April 2016.
-
c) Issue Period
-
If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the Company will have a mandate to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A from the date of the Annual General Meeting until the earlier of the following to occur:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
(the Additional 10% Placement Period ).
The Company will only issue and allot Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility during the Additional 10% Placement Period. Accordingly, the approval given if this Resolution is passed will cease to be valid on the earlier of 26 May 2017 or the date on which holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
d) Purpose of Issues
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued and increased production, exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.
The Company will provide further information at the time of issue of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in compliance with its disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A.
e) Allocation Policy
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Additional 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting but may include existing Shareholders and/or new Shareholders, who are not Related Parties or associates of a Related Party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

Voting Exclusion
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 5 by any person who may participate in the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility and any person who might obtain a benefit (except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities) if the Resolution is passed, and any person associated with those persons. However, the Company will not disregard any votes cast on Resolution 5 by such person if:
-
a) the person is acting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
-
b) the person is the chairman of the Annual General Meeting acting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
At the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has not approached any particular existing security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. Accordingly, the proposed allottees of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility are not as yet known or identified.
In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in ASX Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of any Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted, and there is no reason to exclude their votes.
No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded.
Recommendation
The Directors believe that the Additional 10% Placement Facility is beneficial for the Company as it will give the Company the flexibility to issue further Equity Securities representing up to 10% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve Resolution 5.
