Related Party Requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001

The requirements of Section 219 of the Act as set out in Chapter 2E thereof require that certain information must be provided to members to enable them to vote in relation to each of the resolutions to be put to the meeting.

Each Director named in the resolution proposing the grant of options to that Director has an interest in the outcome of that resolution. The nature of the financial benefit which may be obtained by each of the named Directors as related parties of the Company is that those Directors (or their nominees) will be granted the options which have values as summarised above.

It is important for members to recognise that for the value in the related party benefit constituted by the grant of the options to be realisable by the optionholder, that the options must be exercised as they are, generally, not transferable.

The acquisition by any person of options does not change voting power. That voting power will only change in accordance with changes in the relevant interests in shareholdings of any member or of those of his associates.

Director’s recommendations

The Corporations Act requires in Section 219, inter alia, that, in relation to each director of the company, it must be set out herein:

  • (a) if the director wanted to make a recommendation to members about the proposed resolution—the recommendation and his or her reasons for it; or

  • (b) if not—why not; or

  • (c) if the director was not available to consider the proposed resolution—why not.

Accordingly the following information is provided. Insofar as each resolution relating to the issue of options to the specific Director named in the resolution is concerned, that Director in each case refrains from making any recommendation on the outcome of that resolution because that Director is interested in the outcome of the resolution.

  • Each of the 2,000,000 options granted to consultants will entitle the holder to subscribe for one ordinary share in Enegex Limited (the Company) upon the payment of an amount equal to the Exercise Price. The (Exercise Price) of the options will be the price that is 50% greater than the 5 day VWAP of the Company Ordinary Fully Paid Shares (ASX Code: ENX) prior to the day that Shareholder approval is obtained (4 November 2020).

  • All of the options granted to consultants will lapse at 5.00pm (AEDT) on 5 November 2023 (Expiry Date).

  • The options are not transferable to any person other than an Associate of the grantee (within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001) without the prior approval of the Board of Directors of the Company.

  • There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in these options and holders of the options will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital that may be offered to shareholders during the currency of the option or in the payment of any dividend without having exercised the option prior to the record date to determine entitlements to any such entitlements or distributions.

  • In the event of any re-organisation (including reconstruction, consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return of capital) of the issued capital of the Company, the options will be re-organised in respect to number and exercise price as required by the Listing Rules, but in all other respects the terms of exercise will remain unchanged.

  • The option shall be exercisable at any time during the period ending on or before the Expiry Date (Exercise Period), subject to holders’ continuing involvement with the company in the form of ongoing employment and/or consultancy arrangements, by the delivery to the registered office of the Company of a notice in writing (Notice) stating the intention of the optionholder accompanied by an Option Certificate or Holding Statement and a cheque or electronic transfer made payable to the Company for the subscription monies for the shares to be issued on exercise of the options the subject of the Notice. The Notice and cheque or electronic transfer must be received by the Company during the Exercise Period. An exercise of only some options shall not affect the rights of the optionholder to the balance of the options held by him.

  • The Company shall allot the resultant shares and deliver a statement of shareholdings with a Holders’ Identification Number within 5 business days of exercise of the options.

  • The shares allotted shall rank, from the date of allotment, equally with the existing ordinary shares of the Company in all respects.

  • (e) No funds will be raised by the grant of the Options.

  • (f) In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 the Company advises that it will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 4 on the Notice of Meeting by any of the persons named in paragraph (d) above and otherwise, a person who is expected to participate in, or who will obtain a material benefit as a result of, the proposed issue (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary securities in the entity).

Note 7: Resolution 7 - Approval of 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A

Under Resolution 7, the Company is seeking Members’ approval of a Special Resolution to renew the Company’s capacity to issue the maximum number of additional equity securities permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. This Listing Rule ( LR ) permits the placement of new equity securities (calculated in accordance with LR 7.1A.2) as described here:

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A = The number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of the 12 months immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement to issue:

plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the issue of, or agreement to issue the convertible securities was approve or taken under these rules to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;

plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period

less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the last 12 months

Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

D =

10%

  • E = the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the last 12 months immediately preceding the date or issue of the shares where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4

As Resolution 7 is a Special Resolution, it requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Members present and eligible to vote at the Meeting.

Eligibility criteria

Under LR 7.1A an eligible entity may, subject to shareholder approval by way of special resolution, make such a 10% Placement in addition to the 15% new issue capacity available to ASX-listed entities under LR 7.1. An eligible entity for the purposes of LR 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 not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of significantly less than $300 million, so is an eligible entity.

Placement capacity under Listing Rule7.1A

As at the date of this Notice, the Company had 100,499,737 ordinary shares on issue. Therefore, in addition to any equity securities it can issue under LR 7.1, if Resolution 7 is approved, the Company will have capacity to issue up to 10,049,974 equity securities under LR 7.1A, being up to 10% of the 100,499,737 fully paid ordinary shares presently on issue. However, the number of equity securities that may be issued under LR 7.1A may increase beyond 100,499,737, as the actual number of fully paid shares on issue may increase by the date of any issue that may be made should Resolution 7 be approved.

Minimum issue price

In accordance with LR 7.1A, equity securities issued under the 10% Placement can only be issued at a price that is equivalent to not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of the Company’s equity securities of the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in its Shares were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the issue price of the equity securities is agreed; or

  • the issue date (if the equity securities are not issued within ten trading days of the date on which the issue price is agreed).

10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur to the following:

  • the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or

  • the time and date of the approval by shareholders of ordinary securities of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking.

Shareholder approval under LR 7.1A does not lapse if the Company’s market capitalisation subsequently exceeds $300 million or it is included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index at some time during the placement period; provided the Company meets the criteria under LR 7.1A on the date of the Meeting.

Dilution to existing shareholdings

If Resolution 7 is approved by Members and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement, there is a potential risk of economic and voting dilution to existing Shareholders as a result.

Further, as the market price of the equity securities may be significantly lower on the issue date of the 10% Placement than on the date of approval at the Meeting, and because equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price on the issue date, there is a risk that the 10% Placement may raise less funding than it would if it was based on current market prices.

The economic dilution will reflect that existing Shareholders who do not participate in the 10% Placement will have their underlying economic interests in the Company’s assets diluted pro rata to the dilution in their shareholdings.

Additionally, as the issue price of any equity securities issued under the 10% Placement capacity may be at a discount to the equivalent VWAP of the Company’s Shares traded over the 15 trading days prior to their issue price being set or the equity securities being issued, a further economic effect of such a placement may be a reduction in the market price or value of their then existing equity holding in the capital of the Company. Whether such a reduction in market price or value occurs, and if so for how long it continues, will depend on factors not presently known, including the purpose for which the 10% Placement may be made. The converse outcomes may also occur.

It is not possible to set out further economic effects which may arise from the 10% Placement, as they are unknown in advance of such a placement being made.

Details of all issues of equity securities by Enegex during the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting as required by Listing Rule 7.3A6.

On 20 August 2020 Enegex completed a placement of 20M fully paid ordinary shares that raised $440,000 at $0.022 (2.2 cents) per share, before costs, with unlisted options to be issued on a 1 for 2 basis, exercisable at $0.03 on or before 31 August 2022. The Company was approached by a group of Sophisticated and Professional investors with an offer of investment which has been accepted, and settled through Fresh Equities Pty Ltd. The funds raised will be used to advance exploration at the Company’s projects, particularly its South West Terrane initiative where the Company has established an extensive tenement position in this emerging region.

Of the 20,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares issued 7,925,039 were issued under LR7.1A. This is 9.8% of the ordinary fully paid shares at the beginning of the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting

As required by LR 7.3A.4, the table below shows a number of hypothetical scenarios for the 10% Placement where Variable “A” in the formula in LR 7.1A.2 (representing the Company’s share capital) has increased by either 50% or 100% and the share price has decreased by 50% or increased by 100% from the approximate share price as at the date of this Notice.

The table has been prepared on the following hypothetical assumptions but the Company does not represent the assumptions will necessarily occur:

  • the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Placement.

  • any increase in Variable A (being the Company’s issued share capital at the time of issue under the 10% Placement) is due solely to an issue of Shares which is an exception in LR 7.2; for example a pro-rata rights issue. However, a 15% placement under LR 7.1 does not increase Variable “A” for the purposes of calculating the placement capacity under LR 7.1A.

  • the table shows only the effect of issues of shares under LR 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity available to ASX listed entities under LR 7.1.

  • the table does not show the dilution that may be caused to any particular Shareholder by reason of placements of Shares under LR 7.1A, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. For instance, Shareholders will have different outcomes depending on whether or not they participate in a pro-rata issue which has the effect of increasing Variable “A”; and

  • the current price for shares is assumed to be $0.066, being the price on 24 September 2020 shortly prior to lodgement of this Notice with ASX.

Purpose of the 10% Placement

The Company may seek to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement at a cash issue price, in which case the Company would use the funds for existing projects, to fund new venture opportunities, as working capital generally or for other corporate purposes

Allocation policy

The allottees of any equity securities to be issued under the 10% Placement capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of equity securities could consist of current shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

No priority of application will be accorded to existing shareholders and, unless the 10% Placement was made with disclosure, the allottees will be excluded offerees under section 708(8), 708(10) or 708(11) of the Corporations Act.

Subject to the above provisos, the Company will determine the allottees and the manner of their selection at the time of the issue of the 10% Placement, having regard for the following factors:

  • the purpose of the issue of equity securities;

  • alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • the effect of the issue of equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • the circumstances of the Company including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • prevailing market conditions; and

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).

Recommendation

As at the date of the Notice containing these Explanatory Notes, the Company has no plans to raise additional capital utilising the 10% Placement authority provided by Resolution 7. However, many eligible resource companies are, as a matter of corporate prudence, seeking to obtain this form of available shareholder approval to enable capital raisings to be made, if appropriate, during the 12 months following the Meeting. Accordingly, Members’ approval of Resolution 7 is considered prudential.

The Directors believe Resolution 7 will provide the Company with the flexibility to raise capital quickly if advantageous terms are available or if required for funding the Company and where doing so is in the best interests of the Company.

The Directors unanimously recommend that all Members vote in favour of Resolution 7.

Voting Generally

  • The Company has determined that, in accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cwth), the holders of shares of the Company who are on the Company’s share register as at 2.00pm (AEDT) on 3 November 2020 will be taken for the purposes of the Meeting to be held by the persons who held them at that time. Accordingly, those persons will be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting.

  • A shareholder that is an individual may attend and vote in person at the meeting. In light the current global outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID 19) and the Victorian Government’s response in restricting gatherings and implementing social distancing requirements, the Company has decided that special arrangements will apply to the Meeting. In the interests of public health and safety, the Company has determined not to allow Shareholders to physically attend the Meeting. Please refer to the Virtual Meeting Guide which will be published on the ASX and Company’s website in the week prior to the General Meeting as to how Shareholders will be able to participate in the Meeting via the internet.

  • A Member entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the Member's voting rights.

  • A proxy duly appointed need not be a Member.

  • A proxy form accompanies this Notice and to be effective, the form and any document necessary to show the validity of the form must be lodged with the Company not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Meeting. Any proxy lodged after that time will be treated as invalid.

  • Directors and Officers of corporate shareholders should note that unless the corporate shareholder either:

  • (a) completes and lodges with the Company a valid form of appointment of proxy in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy form; or

  • (b) completes and either lodges with the Company prior to the Meeting a form of appointment of personal representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 250D of the Corporations Act or causes such personal representative to attend the Meeting with such form of appointment; or

  • (c) has appointed an attorney,

and such proxy, personal representative or attorney attends the Meeting, then such corporate shareholder will be unable to exercise any votes at the Meeting.

  • Proxy and corporate appointment of representative forms may be returned to the Company in the manner detailed at point 6 on the reverse of the proxy form.

  • Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out above and on the reverse of the proxy form and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act, as detailed at point 7 on the reverse of the proxy form.

  • Completion of a proxy form will not prevent individual Members from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Member completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the Meeting in person then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that Member is suspended while the Member is present at the Meeting.

  • Where a proxy form or form of appointment of personal representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as a proxy.
