Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the General Meeting.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting.
Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary or otherwise in the Explanatory Statement.
1. Resolution 1: Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares to Placement Participants
1.1 Placement
On 23 November 2022, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from various sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement Participants ) identified by Canaccord Genuity and PAC Partners (together, Joint Lead Managers ) and to an entity associated with the Company’s Managing Director, Mr Charles Bass, to raise $5,000,000 (before costs) through the issue of a total of 30,303,031 Shares in the Company ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.165 per Share ( Placement ).
The Placement is conducted in two tranches comprising the following:
-
(a) Tranche 1 - a private placement of 18,181,818 Placement Shares issued to Tranche 1 Placement Participants, at an issue price of $0.165 per Placement Share, raising $3 million and issued pursuant to the Company’s “15%” placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(b) Tranche 2 – the issue of 12,121,213 Placement Shares, at an issue price of $0.165 per Placement Share, to raise $2 million, proposed to be issued to Metech Super Pty Ltd ATF The Metech No.2 Super Fund A/C ( Metech ), an entity associated with Charles Bass, subject to Shareholder approval.
The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 30 November 2022 using the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rules 7.1. Subsequent ratification of this issue by Shareholders is sought under Resolution 1.
The proposed issue of Placement Shares to Metech is subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 2 (refer Section 2 of this Explanatory Statement).
1.2 Use of funds raised under the Placement
The Company intends to use the funds raised from the Placement to continue to:
-
continue to expand and upgrade the JORC Mineral Resources at the Company’s Oracle Ridge Copper Mine Project ( Oracle Ridge ) by resource upgrade and expansion drilling; and
-
drill testing other prospective targets at Oracle Ridge.
1.3
Requirement for Shareholder approval
As described in Section 1.1 above, the Company has issued a total of 18,181,818 Placement Shares to the Tranche 1 Placement Participants using its issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
None of the Placement Participants are Related Parties of the Company.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval by Shareholders of the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares to Tranche 1 Placement Participants.
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
6
Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
A number of exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 are set out in Listing Rule 7.2, however the issue of the Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period from the issue date of the Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rules 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Placement Shares to Tranche 1 Placement Participants under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
1.4 Listing Rule information requirements
In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
- (a) Basis on which Placement Participants were identified
In respect of Resolution 1, Placement Shares were issued to Tranche 1 Placement Participants, being various sophisticated and professional investors identified by the Joint Lead Managers and who are not Related Parties of the Company.
Each Tranche 1 Placement Participant is a sophisticated or professional investor within the meaning of section 708(8), (10), (11) or (12) of the Corporations Act, being an investor to whom securities may be issued without a prospectus or other disclosure document.
None of the Tranche 1 Placement Participants are Related Parties of the Company or were substantial holders of Shares (i.e. no Tranche 1 Placement Participant held a relevant interest in Shares of 5% or more of the total Shares on issue at the time of the Placement).
- (b) The number of securities issued
18,181,818 Placement Shares were issued to Tranche 1 Placement Participants utilising the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. The Placement Shares were fully paid ordinary Shares ranking equally with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
- (c) The date on which the securities were issued
The Placement Shares were issued by the Company on 30 November 2022.
- (d) The price at which the securities were issued
The Placement Shares were issued to Placement Participants at an issue price of $0.165 per Placement Share.
- (e) The use or intended use of the funds raised
The Company intends to use the funds from the issue of the Placement Shares for the purposes described in Section 1.2.
- (f) Material terms of the agreement to issue
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
7
The Placement Shares were not issued pursuant to an agreement.
(g) The voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is set out in this Notice under the Voting Exclusion Section on page 3.
1.5 Directors’ recommendation – Resolution 1
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it will refresh the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and give the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital through the offer and issue of equity securities, if and as required.
2. Resolution 2: Approval to issue of Placement Shares to Metech Super Pty Ltd
2.1 Background to Resolution 2
As part of the Placement to raise $5,000,000 referred to in Section 1.1, the Company proposes to issue to Metech 12,121,213 Placement Shares, at an issue price of $0.165 per Placement Share, to raise $2 million, subject to Shareholder approval of the issue.
Metech is an entity associated with Mr Charles Bass, the Managing Director of the Company, and thus a Related Party to the Company.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of 12,121,213 Placement Shares to Metech or its nominee.
Metech is a Related Party of the Company as it is controlled by Charles Bass.
Charlies Bass presently has a relevant interest in 70,664,001 Shares (24.67% of the total Shares presently on issue 286,446,881 Shares), held in the following proportions:
-
10,700,000 Shares held by Metech;
-
57,270,001 Shares held by Silver Mountain Mining Nominee Pty Ltd as trustee for Silver Mountain Trust, an entity controlled by Mr Bass; and
-
2,694,000 Shares held by Quartz Mountain Mining Pty Ltd as trustee for The Bass Family Trust, an entity controlled by Mr Bass.
If Resolution 2 is approved and 12,121,213 Placement Shares are issued to Metech, the entities which Charles Bass controls will hold a total of 82,785,214 Shares, representing a relevant interest in 27.73% of a total of 298,568,094 Shares then on issue (assuming no other Shares are issued to other persons).
2.2
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 – a related party;
-
10.11.2 - a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 – a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 – an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 – a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains approval of its shareholders.
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
8
The issue of Placement Shares to Metech falls within Listing Rule 10.11.4 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing rule 10.12. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue Placement Shares to Metech under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Shares to Metech and raise $2,000,000
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Shares to Metech and will not raise $2,000,000, which in turn will reduce the amount of the capital the Company has to direct towards its exploration and drilling projects.
2.3 Corporations Act requirements
- (a) Related party financial benefit restrictions
For a public company to give a financial benefit to a Related Party of the public company, either:
-
the public company must first obtain the approval of its shareholders in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act, and give the benefit within 15 months following such approval; or
-
the giving of the financial benefit must fall within a prescribed exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
(b)
Arm’s length exception
Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval is not required to give a financial benefit on terms that:
-
would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length; or
-
are less favourable to the related party than arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Charles Bass) consider that the subscription for Placement Shares by Metech is on arm’s length terms as the agreement for the issue of Shares is at the same price per Share ($0.165) as the other Placement Shares issued to the other Placement Participants. Accordingly, the proposed issue reflects arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other Charles Bass) have therefore resolved that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act as the exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act applies.
2.4 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Listing Rule 10.13 requires that information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 as follows:
- (a) The name of the person
Metech Super Pty Ltd ATF The Metech No. 2 Super Fund A/C
- (b) Which category in rules 10.11.1 – 10.11.5 the person falls and why
Metech is an entity associated with Mr Charles Bass, the Managing Director of the Company and consequently falls under Listing Rule 10.11.4.
- (c) The number and class of securities to be issued to the person
The Company proposes to issue 12,121,213 Shares to Metech, subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 2.
- (d) The terms of securities
Fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with all other Shares on issue.
- (e) The date on which the company will issue the securities, which must not be more than 1 month after the date of the meeting
EAGLE MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
9
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company proposes to issue the Placement Shares shortly following the Meeting, or otherwise on one date no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
- (f) The price or consideration the entity will receive for the issue
$0.165 per Share for a total of $2,000,000 in cash.
- (g) The purpose of the issue
Refer to Section 2.1.
- (h) The material terms of an agreement relating to the proposed issue of securities
Metech has agreed to subscribe for, and the Company has agreed to issue, 12,121,213 Shares at $0.165 per Shares, subject to Shareholder approval of the issue.
-
(i) The voting exclusion statement
-
A voting exclusion statement is set out in this Notice under the Voting Exclusion Section on page 3.
2.5 Directors’ recommendations
Mr Bass has a material personal interest in Resolution 2 and therefore declines to make any voting recommendation to Shareholders in relation to this Resolution.
The Directors (other than Mr Bass) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
The Directors (other than Mr Bass) consider that the issue of Placement Shares to Metech (or its nominee) is an appropriate method to raise capital given Mr Bass’ interest as the major shareholder of the Company. The issue of Placement Shares to Metech will not materially increase the voting power of Mr Bass in the Company compared to Mr Bass’ voting power in the Company prior to the Placement.
