EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Purpose of this Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement is provided to Shareholders to explain the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held at Suite 68, 283 Given Terrace, Paddington Qld 4064 on 29 November 2019 at 10.00 am AEST.
The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
For proxies without voting instructions that are exercisable by the Chairman, the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each Resolution . If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy with a direction to vote against, or to abstain from voting on an item of business, you should specify this by completing the appropriate ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ box on the proxy appointment form. The Chairman is deemed to be appointed where a signed proxy form is returned which does not contain the name of the proxy or where the person appointed on the form is absent.
In addition, the Corporations Act provides for a “two strikes” rule in relation to the adoption of the Remuneration Report, meaning that if 25% or more of votes cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (referred to as a "spill resolution") to determine whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for reelection. No strike was recorded at the Company's previous annual general meeting. On this basis, while the vote on the Remuneration Report at this Meeting may potentially be counted towards two strikes in the future, no board spill can occur this year.
Receive and Consider the Financial Statements
The Corporations Act requires the Financial Report which includes the Financial Statements, Directors’ Declaration, Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or in the Constitution of the Company for Shareholders to approve the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report or the Auditor’s Report. Accordingly, the Company’s Financial Report is placed before the Shareholders for discussion and no voting is required for this item of business.
Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports and on the business and operations of the Company.
Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2019 is set out in the Directors’ Report section of the Company's 2019 Annual Report to Shareholders ( Remuneration Report ).
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the executive and nonexecutive Directors. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting. In addition, section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that Resolution 1 be put to a vote. However, the vote on this Resolution is only advisory and does not bind the Company or its Directors.
Under the Corporations Act, a 'two strikes and re-election' process in relation to the shareholder vote on the Remuneration Report is required and provides that:
-
(a) A 'first strike' will occur if this Remuneration Report resolution receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more. If this occurs, the Company's subsequent remuneration report will contain an explanation of the Board's proposed action in response to the 'no' vote or an explanation of why no action has been taken by the Board.
-
(b) A 'second strike' will occur if the resolution to adopt the remuneration report at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company also receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more. If this occurs, the shareholders will vote at that Annual General Meeting to determine whether the Directors will need to stand for re-election at a separate, subsequent meeting (the 'spill resolution'). If this spill resolution passes with 50% or more of the eligible votes cast, the spill meeting must take place within 90 days.
The Company has not received a first strike.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
9
Resolution 2 – Election of Mr Brett Laurence Lynch as a Director
Mr Lynch was appointed as the Company’s CEO and Managing Director on 1 July 2019. His appointment as director now needs to be put to Shareholders for a vote at this Meeting to determine whether he remains as a director.

A senior mining engineer and manager, he has more than 30 years’ experience in the global industry, including previous posts with leading resources companies such as MIM Holdings, New Hope Corporation, Orica and VLI, during which time he was responsible for multi-million dollar international operations.
Mr Lynch professional qualifications include a Bachelor of Engineering (Mining) (Honours) at the University of Melbourne, a Graduate Diploma of Business (Accounting) at Monash University and a Company Director Diploma from the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors, with Mr Lynch abstaining, unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 3 – Re-Election of Mr Paul Anthony Crawford as a Director

Directors’ Recommendation

Resolution 12: Approval of Executive Incentive Plan
Background
The Board proposes a new EIP in order to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of Directors, senior management and other selected employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Board believes an EIP will form an important part of a comprehensive remuneration strategy for the Company’s executive team, aligning their interests with those of Shareholders by linking their rewards to the long term success of the Company and its financial performance.
Summary of the rules of the EIP
Operation
The Board is responsible for administering the EIP in accordance with its rules. A grant of Performance Rights and/or Options under the EIP will be subject to both the EIP rules and the terms and conditions of the specific grant.
Eligibility
The EIP is open only to senior managers of the Company who in the course of their employment with the Company make or participate in the making of decisions that affect the business of the Company, or have the capacity to affect significantly the Company’s financial standing.
The Board may invite senior managers to apply for Performance Rights and/or Options ( Award ) under the EIP in its absolute discretion.
Vesting
The vesting of a Performance Right and/or Options will be conditional on the satisfaction of all performance conditions attaching to the Performance Right and/or Options. Performance conditions will be determined by the Board in its discretion and specified in the senior manager’s invitation letter.
Maximum potential Award
The Board may grant such number of Options and/or Performance Rights under the EIP as the Board determines as long as no limit specified, imposed or calculated by any relevant policy or guideline of ASIC, including any regulatory guide, class order or condition for relief, is exceeded.
Performance Assessment and Calculation Date
Where a performance condition is linked to the Company’s share price, then unless the Board specifies otherwise, the method of calculating the share price for the purposes of determining whether or not the senior manager has met the performance condition will be volume weighted average price of the Shares for the five trading days commencing seven days after the Company’s results for the relevant financial year (e.g., 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020) are announced to the ASX.
Method for calculating Awards
The Board will determine the extent to which each performance condition has been achieved and the Award earned in respect of the performance conditions.
Non-transferrable
Awards are not transferable, except on a participant’s death, to their legal personal representative.
17
Change of control
In the event of a change of control of the Company, the Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine whether or not it will terminate the EIP for any relevant period and pay pro-rata Awards in cash based on the completed proportion of that period and taking into account performance up to the date of the change of control.
Termination of employment
If a senior manager’s employment is terminated other than by reason of retirement, redundancy, or by resignation with the express written consent of the Board (given expressly for the purposes of the EIP), the senior manager forfeits any and all entitlements or right to be considered for an EIP Award for the relevant financial year in which the termination occurred unless otherwise permitted by the Board in its absolute discretion.
If a senior manager is considered a ‘good leaver’ and their employment is terminated (other than by reason of resignation), the Board retains discretion whether or not to Award the EIP for the relevant period..
Ultimate discretion of the Board
The Board retains the ultimate discretion to:
-
(a) make decisions on the EIP subject to complying with the Corporations Act and Listing Rules;
-
(b) trigger, accelerate or vest the Award in the case of termination, provided that the limitations on termination benefits as outlined in the Corporations Act are not breached; and
-
(c) abandon the EIP in any period for that period or adjust Award payments if the Company’s overall performance during the relevant period is substantially lower than expected and result in significant loss of value for shareholders.
ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 10.14
Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a limit on the number of equity securities which the Company can issue in a 12 month period without prior Shareholder approval. Exception 9(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 provides that an issue of securities made under an employee incentive scheme (such as the EIP) is not counted for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, provided that certain conditions have been met. One of these conditions is that members have, within the last three years prior to the issue date, approved the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not permit any director, or an associate of a director, to acquire shares under an employee incentive scheme without first obtaining shareholder approval.
The effect of this Resolution 12 is that any issues of securities under the EIP are treated as having been made with the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.
The Directors do not presently have any specific intention to issue Shares that would exceed the Company’s capacity to issue Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 in the absence of Shareholder approval. Nevertheless, the Directors wish to preserve the flexibility to issue the full 15% for each of the next three years. Approval under this Resolution 12 will provide more scope for the Company to raise additional equity if required. The EIP has been developed to provide the greatest possible flexibility in choice to the Board in implementing the EIP. The EIP enables the Company to offer executive team a number of equity related interests, including Performance Rights and Options.
Approval under Listing Rules 7.2 Exception 9(b) and 10.14 lasts for 3 years. This is the first year of the EIP, it is not replacing any other EIP and as such, no securities have been issued under the EIP.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors do not make a recommendation on remuneration of fellow Directors as it may be viewed as a conflict of interest to do so.
Resolution 13: Approval to Issue Options to Mr Brett Lynch, Managing Director and CEO under the EIP
The Company wishes, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Mr Brett Lynch incentive Options as part of his employment with the Company under the terms of the EIP (subject to shareholders approving the EIP under Resolution 12).
ASX Listing Rule 10.14:
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and 10.12, Exception 9, allows an entity to agree to issue shares and options to a director if the issue is conditional on the entity first obtaining shareholder approval. If Shareholders do not approve this Resolution 13, the Company will not issue the Options to Mr Lynch under the EIP.
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.15A, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 13:
18
| If the person is not a director, details of the relationship between the person and the director |
Options under the EIP will be issued to Mr Brett Lynch and Shares issued under the options will, if earned, be issued to Mr Brett Lynch or his nominee. |
|
|---|---|---|
| The maximum number of securities to be issued |
The Options will be offered as a Long Term Incentive (LTI). Mr Lynch will be entitled under the LTI in any financial year to earn up to $280,000 to apply in the purchase of Options, depending on the price of the Company’s share at the end of the financial year as identified below: Financial Year KPI Award achievable Settlement of Award Ending 30 June 2020 Increase share price to 5 cents per share (cps) 5 cps =100% of maximum LTI 4 cps = 50% of maximum LTI 3 cps = 25% of maximum LTI Below 3 cps = nil Participant acquires a right to purchase the shares at $0.02 per share up to the relevant award. Ending 30 June 2021 Increase share price to 7 cps 7 cps =100% of maximum LTI 6 cps = 50% of maximum LTI 5 cps = 25% of maximum LTI Below 5 cps = nil Participant acquires a right to purchase the shares at $0.05 per share up to the relevant award. Ending 30 June 2022 Increase share price to 12 cps 12 cps =100% of maximum LTI 10 cps = 75% of maximum LTI 9 cps = 50% of maximum LTI 8 cps = 25% of maximum LTI Below 8 cps = nil Participant acquires a right to purchase the shares at $0.07 per share up to the relevant award. As an example of the application of the above – if the share price of the Company grows to 4 cps in the financial year ending 30 June 2020, Mr Lynch will become entitled to purchase shares to the value of $140,000 (being 50% of the maximum potential LTI for that financial year) at $0.02 per share. |

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued Share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the AGM ( 10% Placement Facility ).

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

(ii) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).
Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of this Resolution 14 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 14 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If this Resolution 14 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power and economic interest in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. 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
21
- (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 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 table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this document.
The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares 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 future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company raises the maximum number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(ii) No Options (including any options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(iii) 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%.
-
(iv) 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.
-
(v) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(vi) 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.
-
(vii) The issue price is $0.008, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 9 October 2019.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 14 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) for cash consideration, in which case the Company may use the funds raised towards making (or to securing the right to make) one or more acquisitions and/or to further its existing projects; and/or general working capital; or
-
(ii) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of (or securing the right to make acquisitions of) new projects and investments or to further its existing projects. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
22
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) 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:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issues of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the 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 this document but may include existing substantial 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 possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.
-
(f) In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3 A.6 the total number of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of this document is 134,265,401, representing 7.8% of the Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period. Equity Securities issued by the in the 12 months preceding the date of this document is summarised in Table 2.
-
(g) The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A on 27 November 2018, which approval will expire on 27 November 2019.
In the 12 months preceding the date of this document, the Company has received total cash consideration from issue of Shares under placements and exercise of listed options of $1,094,134. The Company has used approximately $100,000 of the cash consideration received to fund working capital.
The Board intends to use the working capital existing at the date of this document (which includes funds raised pursuant to the above placements) to provide working capital and to pursue its growth strategy with the flexibility to act quickly as potential business opportunities arise.
- (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting. As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, the Company has not approached any particular existing security holder or an identifiable class of security holder to participate in the issue of Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion on the Notice of Meeting.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders approve Resolution 14.
Resolution 14 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
