AUSTRALASIA GOLD LIMITED ABN 93 104 757 904 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist shareholders in consideration of resolutions proposed for the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on 30 November 2006 at 160 O'Connell Street North Adelaide, SA commencing at 11.00am.
It should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Resolution 3 - Employee Share Option Plan
Resolution 3 seeks approval for the establishment of a Plan to assist with the attraction and retention of employees of the Company.
It is intended that the Plan will be excluded from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 under listing rule 7.2 Exception 9 and to this end the following information is provided.
A summary of the rules of the Plan is set out below:
All employees will be eligible to participate in the Plan.
The allocation of options to each employee, or nominee of the employee, is at the discretion of the Board.
Each option is to subscribe for one fully paid share in the Company and will expire 5 years from its date of issue. An option is exercisable at any time from its date of issue.
Each option shall be issued free. The exercise price of options will be determined by the Board, subject to a minimum price equal to 90% of the market price of the Company's shares at the time the options are offered.
The total number of shares the subject of options issued under the Plan. when aggregated with issues during the previous 5 years pursuant to the Plan, must not exceed 5% of the Company's share capital.
If, prior to the expiry date of options, a person ceases to be an employee of a group company for reason other than retirement at age 60 or more (or such earlier age as the Board permits), permanent disability, redundancy or death, the options held by the employee (or nominee) must be exercised within 3 months thereafter otherwise they will automatically lapse. If an employee dies, the options held by that person will be exercisable by that person's legal representative.
Options may not be transferred other than to the legal representative of a deceased option holder.
The Company will not apply for official quotation of options issued under this Plan.
Shares issued from the exercise of options shall rank equally with all other ordinary shares issued by the Company.
If there is a bonus share issue to holders of shares, the number of shares over which an option is exercisable will be increased by the number of shares which the option holder would have received if the option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
If there is a pro rata issue (other than a bonus share issue) to the holders of shares, the exercise price of an option shall be reduced to take account of the effect of the pro rata issue.
If there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company, unexercised options will be reorganised in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Australian Stock Exchange.
No securities have been issued under this Plan since the incorporation of the Company.
The Company will disregard any votes cast on this resolution by any director or employee of the Company or any of their associates. However the company will not disregard a vote if:
- It is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
- It is cast by a person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
Resolution 4 - Ratification of an issue of shares
Resolution 4 seeks ratification, pursuant to Australian Stock Exchange ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of up to 1,192,370 shares to members of the Murninnie Mine syndicate, notified to the ASX on 23 August 2006.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, a company may not issue more than 15% of issued capital in any 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval or being within certain exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 will be made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and holders of ordinary shares subsequently approve the issue.
Shareholder approval is therefore retrospectively sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of up to 1,192,370 shares to members of the Murninnie Mine syndicate as part consideration for the acquisition of a 45% interest in Exploration Licence EL 3542 and Private Mine 156 in South Australia. The shares shall be issued on the same terms as all existing shares in the Company.
Although the issue of these securities was not in excess of the limits prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1, shareholder approval is sought to ensure the Company maintains flexibility during the upcoming 12 month period to supplement the Company's working capital requirements, should the Board determine this to be in the best interests of the Company.
The Company will disregard any votes cast on this resolution by members of the Murninnie Mine syndicate or any associate of that entity. However the company will not disregard a vote if:
- It is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
- It is cast by a person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
