2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – TRANCHE 1 SHARES
2.1 General
As detailed in Section 1.1, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 416,666,668 Tranche 1 Shares that were issued on 12 November 2018 pursuant to the Tranche 1 Placement.
316,687,880 Tranche 1 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 99,978,788 Tranche 1 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 26 November 2017.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.
2.2 Resolution 1 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 1, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
2.3
Resolution 2 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
5
Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:
-
(a) will not be counted in variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(b) are counted in variable “E”,
until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue.
By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 2, the base figure (ie variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.
2.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Tranche 1 Placement:
-
(a) 416,666,668 Tranche 1 Shares were issued on the following basis:
-
(i) 316,687,880 Tranche 1 Shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 99,978,788 Tranche 1 Shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
(b) the issue price was $0.03 per Tranche 1 Share under both the issue of Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
(c) the Tranche 1 Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(d) the Tranche 1 Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Euroz Securities Limited or Tectonic Advisory Partners LLC. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and
-
(e) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the Tranche 1 Placement for the purposes set out in Section 1.2.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF TRANCHE 2 SHARES TO UNRELATED PARTIES
3.1 General
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 76,666,666 Tranche 2 Shares at an issue price of $0.03 per Share.
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Tranche 2 Shares during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
6
3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 76,666,666;
-
(b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur on the same date;
-
(c) the issue price will be $0.03 per Share;
-
(d) the Directors will determine to whom the Shares will be issued but these persons will not be related parties of the Company;
-
(e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and
-
(f) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the Tranche 2 Placement for the purposes set out in Section 1.2.
4. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 7 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES
4.1 General
As detailed in Section 1.1 above, the Directors have agreed to participate in the Tranche 2 Placement, subscribing for 406,666,666 Shares as follows:
-
(a) 133,333,333 Shares subscribed for by Mr Morgan Hart (or his nominee) (approval for which is being sought under Resolution 4);
-
(b) 133,333,333 Shares subscribed for by Mr Simon Lee AO (or his nominee) (approval for which is being sought under Resolution 5);
-
(c) 133,333,333 Shares subscribed for by Mr Ross Stanley (or his nominee) (approval for which is being sought under Resolution 6); and
-
(d) 6,666,667 Shares subscribed for by Mr Michael Evans (or his nominee) (approval for which is being sought under Resolution 7),
(together, the Related Party Participation ).
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the Related Party Participation in the Tranche 2 Placement on the same terms as other investors.
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
7
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The Related Party Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit. Messrs Hart, Lee, Stanley and Evans are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors (other than Mr Hart who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 4 because the Shares will be issued to Mr Hart at arm’s length on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Tranche 2 Placement.
The Directors (other than Mr Lee who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 5 because the Shares will be issued to Mr Lee at arm’s length on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Tranche 2 Placement.
The Directors (other than Mr Stanley who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 6 because the Shares will be issued to Mr Stanley at arm’s length on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Tranche 2 Placement.
The Directors (other than Mr Evans who has a material personal interest in Resolution 7) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 7 because the Shares will be issued to Mr Evans at arm’s length on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Tranche 2 Placement.
4.3 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.
It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) that four of the five Directors comprising the Board (the Directors participating in the Tranche 2 Placement) have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7. If each does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolution 4, 5, 6 and 7 at Board level.
Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company is also seeking Shareholder approval for Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
4.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person
8
whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the Related Party Participation involves the issue of Shares to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
4.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Related Party Participation:
-
(a) the Shares will be issued to Messrs Hart, Lee, Stanley and Evans (or their nominees);
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 406,666,666, comprising of;
-
(i) 133,333,333 Shares to Mr Hart (or his nominee) (Resolution 4);
-
(ii) 133,333,333 Shares to Mr Lee (or his nominee) (Resolution 5);
-
(iii) 133,333,333 Shares to Mr Stanley (or his nominee) (Resolution 6); and
-
(iv) 6,666,667 Shares to Mr Evans (or his nominee) (Resolution 7);
-
(c) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);
-
(d) the issue price will be $0.03 per Share, being the same as all other Shares issued under the Placement and will raise a total amount of $12,200,000 for the Company as follows:
-
(i) $4,000,000 through the participation of Mr Hart (Resolution 4);
-
(ii) $4,000,000 through the participation of Mr Lee (Resolution 5);
-
(iii) $4,000,000 through the participation of Mr Stanley (Resolution 6);
-
(iv) $200,000 through the participation of Mr Evans (Resolution 7);
-
(e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and
-
(f) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Tranche 2 Placement as set out in Section 1.2.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Related Party Participation as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to Messrs Hart, Lee, Stanley and Evans (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

2. APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY
If the person you wish to appoint as your Proxy is someone other than the Chairperson of the Meeting please write the name of that person in Section A. If you leave this section blank, or your named Proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairperson of the Meeting will be your Proxy. A Proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
3. DIRECTING YOUR PROXY HOW TO VOTE
To direct the Proxy how to vote place an "X" in the appropriate box against each item in Section B. Where more than one Proxy is to be appointed and the proxies are to vote differently, then two separate forms must be used to indicate voting intentions.
4. APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
You are entitled to appoint up to two (2) persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second Proxy, an additional Proxy form may be obtained by contacting the Company's share registry or you may photocopy this form.

Individual: where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign. Joint Holding: where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders must sign.
Power of Attorney: to sign under Power of Attorney you must have already lodged this document with the Company's share registry. If you have not previously lodged this document for notation, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: where the Company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the Company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director may sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or Company Secretary. Please indicate the office held in the appropriate place.
If a representative of the corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate "Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative" should be lodged with the Company before the meeting or at the registration desk on the day of the meeting.

-
b) Return both forms in the same envelope.
The proxy form does not need to be returned to the share registry if the votes have been lodged online.
