2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Background
On 21 November 2019, the Company announced that it had issued 363,428,729 fully paid ordinary shares ( Placement Shares ) at $0.01 per Share to a new cornerstone investor, Ilwella Pty Ltd, and new and existing sophisticated investors to raise $3,634,287 before costs ( Placement ). Hartleys Limited acted as the lead manager for the Placement which was made without Shareholder approval using the Company’s existing 15% and 10% capacities.
Funds raised from the Placement will be used to advance the Company’s Galalar project through permitting, approvals and commercial studies following a successful scoping study as announced to ASX on 9 September 2019, and to meet the costs of the Placement. Funds raised upon exercise of Placement Options will be used for general working capital.
Under the Placement, the Company has agreed, subject to shareholders approval, to issue attaching options ( Placement Options ) to the participants of the Placement on the basis of one Placement Option for every two Placement Shares issued, or a total of 181,714,365 Placement Options. The Placement Options have an exercise price of $0.02 and expire 24 months from date of issue.
In conjunction with the Placement and subject to prior Shareholder approval, the Company agreed to rebate Ilwella Pty Limited, the Placement’s cornerstone investor, 10% of its subscription amount through the issue of 25,000,000 Shares at the same issue price as the Placement ($0.01 per Share) ( Rebate Shares ).
The Company also seeks to ratify the issue of Shares to the Company’s CEO following certain KPIs being met.
Following is a table that sets out the dilution to Shareholders as a result of the issues:
Page 6
| Securities | % prior to any Placement Shares being exercised |
% on a fully diluted basis |

|---|---|---|---|
| Shares on issue prior to issues the subject of the Resolutions |
1,464,939,283 | 78.95 | 71.91 |
| Placement | 363,428,729 | 19.59 | 17.84 |
| Placement Options | 181,714,365 | - | 8.92 |
| Rebate Shares | 25,000,000 | 1.35 | 1.23 |
| CEO Shares | 2,083,334 | 0.11 | 0.10 |
Existing Shareholders were diluted by 21.05% as a result of the Placement, Rebate Share and CEO Share issues. Existing Shareholders will be diluted by a further 7.04% in the event all Placement Options are exercised.
2.2 Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities a company can issue in a Relevant Period to 15% of its issued share capital, except for certain issues, including where first approved by Shareholders. Listing Rule 7.1A allows an eligible entity to issue up to a further 10% of its issued share capital in a Relevant Period, subject to certain conditions including prior approval at the company’s annual general meeting. Securities issues that are ratified by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4 are not included in calculating an entity’s 15% or 10% capacities.
