Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Notes:

  1. The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  2. (a) the issue price is $0.074 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 29 April 2019, being the last day that the Company's Shares traded on the ASX before this Notice was printed;

  3. (b) Variable A is 218,207,821, comprising:

    • (i) 217,881,154 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4; and

    • (ii) a total of 326,667 Shares ratified if Resolution 7 is passed at the Meeting;

  4. (c) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;

  5. (d) no convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities; and

  6. (e) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  7. The number of Shares on issue (i.e. Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.

  8. 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%.

  9. 16 -

  10. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  11. 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.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) 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 Meeting; and

  • (ii) 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.

  • (c)

Final date for issue

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period.

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid if Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.

(d)

Purposes of issues under 10% Placement Facility

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:

  • (i) cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for continued investment in and commercialisation of the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and/or for general working capital; or

  • (ii) non-cash consideration for the provision of services to the Company or the acquisition of new projects, assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required under Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(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 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:

  • 17 -

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new projects, assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new projects, assets or investments.

(f) Issues in the past 12 months

The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 31 May 2018.

In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued 95,711,809 Equity Securities. This represents 42.8% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Details of each issue of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 4.

(g)

Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

9. Resolution 6 – Renewal of Proportional Takeover Bid Approval Provisions

9.1 General

The Company's Constitution contains proportional takeover bid approval provisions ( PTBA Provisions ) which enable the Company to refuse to register securities acquired under a proportional takeover bid unless a resolution is passed by Shareholders in general meeting approving the offer. Under the Corporations Act, proportional takeover provisions expire after 3 years from adoption or renewal and may then be renewed. The PTBA Provisions in the current Constitution expire on 13 May 2019 and will cease to apply on that date, unless renewed.

  • 18 -

Resolution 6 seeks the approval of Shareholders to modify the Constitution by renewing the PTBA Provisions for a further 3 years under sections 648G(4) and 136(2) of the Corporations Act. The proposed PTBA Provisions set out in Schedule 5 are identical to those previously contained at Schedule 4 of the Constitution.

The Corporations Act requires the Company to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the PTBA Provisions as set out below.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

9.2 Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act

  • (a) What is a proportional takeover bid?

A proportional off-market takeover bid ( PT Bid ) is a takeover offer sent to all Shareholders but only for a specified portion of each Shareholder's Securities. Accordingly, if a Shareholder accepts in full the offer under a PT Bid, it will dispose of the specified portion of its securities in the Company and retain the balance of the Securities.

(b) Effect of renewal

If renewed, under Schedule 4 of the Constitution if a PT Bid is made to Shareholders of the Company, the board of the Company is required to convene a meeting of Shareholders to vote on a resolution to approve the proportional takeover. That meeting must be held at least 15 days before the offer under the PT Bid closes.

The resolution is taken to have been passed if a majority of Securities voted at the meeting, excluding the Securities of the bidder and its associates, vote in favour of the resolution. If no resolution is voted on at least 15 days before the close of the PT Bid, the resolution is deemed to have been passed. Where the resolution approving the PT Bid is passed or deemed to have been passed, transfers of Securities resulting from accepting the PT Bid are registered provided they otherwise comply with the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Operating Rules and the Company's Constitution. If the resolution is rejected, then under the Corporations Act the PT Bid is deemed to be withdrawn.

The Directors consider that Shareholders should have the opportunity to renew the PTBA Provisions. Without the PTBA Provisions applying, a PT Bid for the Company may enable effective control of the Company to be acquired without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their Securities to the bidder. Shareholders could be at risk of passing control to the bidder without payment of an adequate control premium for all their Securities whilst leaving themselves as part of a minority interest in the Company.

Without the PTBA Provisions, if there was a PT Bid and Shareholders considered that control of the Company was likely to pass, Shareholders would be placed under pressure to accept the PT Bid even if they did not want control of the Company to pass to the bidder. Renewing the PTBA Provisions will make this situation less likely by permitting Shareholders to decide whether a PT Bid should be permitted to proceed.

  • 19 -

(c) No knowledge of present acquisition proposals

As at the date of this notice, no Director is aware of a proposal by any person to acquire or increase the extent of a substantial interest in the Company.

(d) Potential advantages and disadvantages

The renewal of the PTBA Provisions will enable the Directors to formally ascertain the views of Shareholders about a PT Bid. Without these provisions, the Directors are dependent upon their perception of the interests and views of Shareholders. Other than this advantage, the Directors consider that renewal of the PTBA Provisions has no potential advantages or potential disadvantages for them, as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a PT Bid should be accepted.

The Directors consider that renewing the PTBA Provisions benefits all Shareholders in that they will have an opportunity to consider a PT Bid and then attend or be represented by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders called specifically to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, Shareholders are able to prevent a PT Bid proceeding if there is sufficient support for the proposition that control of the Company should not be permitted to pass under the PT Bid. Furthermore, knowing the view of Shareholders assists each individual Shareholder to assess the likely outcome of the PT Bid and whether to accept or reject that bid.

As to the possible disadvantages to Shareholders renewing the PTBA Provisions, potentially, the proposal makes a PT Bid more difficult and PT Bids will therefore be discouraged. This may reduce the opportunities which Shareholders may have to sell all or some of their Securities at a premium to persons seeking control of the Company and may reduce any takeover speculation element in the Company's Share price. The PTBA Provisions may also be considered an additional restriction on the ability of individual Shareholders to deal freely on their Securities.

The Directors consider that there are no other advantages or disadvantages for Directors or Shareholders which arose during the period during which the PTBA Provisions were in effect, other than those discussed in this Section.

On balance, the directors consider that the possible advantages outweigh the possible disadvantages so that the renewal of the PTBA Provisions is in the interest of Shareholders.

Notes:

  1. "Market Price" means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.

  2. In respect of quoted Equity Securities the current value is based on the closing price of the Shares $0.074 on ASX on 29 April 2019. The value of unquoted Equity Securities (unquoted Options) is measured using the Black & Scholes pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the Equity Security, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the Equity Security. No account is taken of any performance conditions included in the terms of the Equity Security other than market-based performance conditions (i.e. conditions linked to the price of Shares).
