3.1 General
Under Listing Rule 7.1, subject to certain exceptions, a listed entity must not, without the approval of holders of ordinary securities, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities than the number calculated according to the formula set out in that rule. The formula generally has the effect that, in addition to the exceptions provided, every listed entity has the ability over any 12 month period to issue Equity Securities equal to 15% of its issued capital at the commencement of the a 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to a further 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the AGM ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and must be approved by a special resolution of shareholders to be enlivened.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
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 Capacity. The exact number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 3.2(c) below).

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue three classes of Equity Securities, being listed Shares, listed Contributing Shares and unlisted Options (at exercise prices varying between $0.10 to $0.25 each; all of which expire on 20 December 2018).
- (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Capacity – Listing Rule 7.1A.2
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an AGM may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the AGM, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4;
-
(iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
D is 10%;
-

Assuming Resolution 4 is passed and the maximum Shares are issued under the authority that would be granted by that Resolution, the Company will have the capacity to issue an additional 2,000,000 Equity Securities (for a total of 11,886,558 Equity Securities) under Listing Rule 7.1 and an additional 1,333,333 Equity Securities (for a total of 7,924,371 Equity Securities) under Listing Rule 7.1A.

EMU NL Notice of Annual General Meeting 9 November 2017
- (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,

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
The table shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of fully paid ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of future issues of fully paid ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer, partly paid shares paid up to become fully paid shares, or exercises of certain options) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a Shareholders’ meeting or those already approved (as at the date of this Notice, the Company is authorised to issue up to 12,500,000 Shares as consideration in respect of Emu’s option to acquire its Chilean gold project – refer to page 3 of the Annual Report under the heading “Review of Operations” and sub-heading “ASX Waiver – Approval to Issue Shares” for further details); and

-
(v) The use of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Convertible Securities, it is assumed that those Convertible Securities are converted into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders
-
(vi) The assumed issue price is $0.13, being the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 9 October 2017.

-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity (if approved) during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 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).

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

-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

(i) All cash funds raised pursuant to the issues of Equity Securities over the last 12 months ($2.7 million in total including the Placement) were comingled with the Company’s existing cash reserves (approximately $1.8 million as at the end of September 2016), giving a total of approximately $4.5 million in cash available to the Company over the year to 30 September 2017. This was intended to be (and was) spent predominantly on exploration and the pursuit of its rights in relation to the Company’s Chile gold project, on evaluation of potential new mineral exploration, development and mining opportunities, to pay corporate expenses and for general working capital. Of the $4.5 million cash available to the company over the year to 30 September 2017, approximately $2.3 million in cash remained at the end of this period, The intended use of the Company’s remaining working capital is to continue to explore and pursue Chile gold project, evaluate potential new projects for the Company and pay corporate expenses.
-
(j) In respect of the issues of Equity Securities over the last 12 months that were issued for cash, the fifth bullet point of Listing Rule 7.3A.6(b) requires the Company to disclose in this Notice “the total cash consideration, the amount of that cash that has been spent, what it was spent on, and what is the intended use for the remaining amount of that cash (if any)”. Whilst the total cash consideration received was mingled with the
10 | P a g e
EMU NL Notice of Annual General Meeting 9 November 2017
funds then on hand (as described above), on the basis of accounting for funds spent on a first in first out method, approximately $0.4 million of the $2.7 million total cash raised over the past 12 months has been spent. Therefore, on the basis of first in first out, the all of the funds raised from the issues on 22 February 2017 have been spent, and approximately $250,000 of the amounts raised from the issue on 7 March 2017 have been spent. These funds were spent predominantly on exploration and the pursuit of the Company’s rights in relation to its Chile gold project, on evaluation of potential new mineral exploration, development and mining opportunities and to pay corporate expenses. The balance of funds remaining are intended to be spend as set out in item (i) above.
- (k) 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 under Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholder’s votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
3.5 Directors’ Recommendation
Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Statement, all of the Directors consider that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Directors have formed this view as the passing of this Resolution will provide greater flexibility when considering future capital raising opportunities. The passing of Resolution 3 will increase the Directors’ ability to issue new Shares permitted by the Listing Rules without requiring Shareholder approval.
Resolution 3 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 Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF SHARES
4.1 General
Emu continues to search for new mineral exploration, development and mining opportunities within Australia and at various overseas jurisdictions. The purpose of this resolution is to provide the Company with flexibility to raise funds in order to enable the Company take advantage of opportunities as they arise (such as new projects), to further its existing Chilean gold projects, and to pay for corporate expenses.
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 number which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period (adjusted for certain events over that 12 month period).
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to authorise the Directors to issue a limited number of Shares (subject to the specified pricing constraint being met and within 3 months of the Meeting or such later date as approved by ASX) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or its 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company will not be obligated to utilize this authority.
4.2 Resolution 4 - Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5. If the authority is utilised:
-
(a) the Company will issue up to 13,333,334 fully paid ordinary Shares;
-
(b) the Company will issue shares (and the issue date will be) within 3 months of the date of the Meeting or such later date as may be approved by ASX;
-
(c) the minimum issue price will be the greater of $0.15 per Share and 80% of the volume weighted average market price of the Shares on ASX over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before:
-
(i) the date on which the issue is made; or
-
(ii) if there is a prospectus relating to the issue, the date of the prospectus; or
-
(iii) the date on which the price at which the Shares are to be issued is agreed, provided that the Shares are issued within 5 Trading Days of that date;
11 | P a g e
EMU NL Notice of Annual General Meeting 9 November 2017
(the actual issue price, if any, may be higher – and the Directors will endeavor procure this);
-
(d) the Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally with all other Shares on issue;
-
(e) subject to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, the Shares will be issued at the discretion of the Directors to persons who have not been identified as at the date of this Notice but who will not be related parties of the Company;
-
(f) the funds raised are intended to be applied towards further exploration work on Emu’s Chilean gold projects, to pay for corporate expenses, and possibly to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise (such as new projects); and, 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. Therefore, no existing Shareholder’s votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 8 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUES OF SHARES, CONTRIBUTING SHARES AND OPTIONS
5.1 General
On 17 March 2017, the Company announced the completion of a $1.1 million capital raising through the issue of 6,250,000 fully paid ordinary Shares at an issue price of $0.16 per share and one Contributing Share at an issue price of $0.06 each ($0.03 paid; $0.03 unpaid) for every 2 Shares subscribed for to sophisticated and professional investors under section 708 of the Corporations Act ( Placement ).
The Company issued (and will issue) various classes of unlisted Options (all expiring on 20 December 2018) to the Company’s company secretary and other employees (or their nominees) to incentivise and remunerate those persons for services provided or agreed to be provided to the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1 or the 10% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be). The purpose and effect of such a ratification is to restore the Company’s discretionary power to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company under Listing Rule 7.1 and up to a further 10% of the issued capital of the Company under Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be) without requiring Shareholder approval.
