Note 6: Resolution 6: Proposed Grant of Options to Employees (Adrian Woolford and Sarah Sharpe) and Consultants (Robert Wright, Emma Callea and Brett Maltz)
Background
The Board considers that the grant of Options to employees and consultants is a cost effective method of aligning the interests of employees and shareholders whilst preserving the Company’s cash reserves.

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company to issue the employee options during the period of one month after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

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.
The 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 the named Director as a related party of the Company is that the Director will be granted the options which have the value 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.
In relation to Resolution 7 dealing with the grant of Options to AP Armitage, Mr Armitage abstains from making any recommendation to members in relation to the resolution as he has an interest in the outcome of the resolution
However, all other Directors recommend that members vote in favour of the resolution as they consider that the grant of the Options to Mr Armitage will provide a significant incentive for Mr Armitage to actively act in the interests of the Company and its members as it more closely aligns his interests to those of members and other security holders.
Within the knowledge of the directors, there is no other information reasonably required by members in order to decide whether or not it is in the interest of the members to pass proposed resolution 7. Clearly, the effect of passing the resolutions will, if the Options are ever exercised, be to dilute members’ interests proportionately and to reduce the respective voting power of each of them proportionately.
Note 8: Resolution 8 – Grant of Options to Director RA Sharpe
Background
The Board believes that the grant of Options to RA Sharpe proposed by Resolution 8 constitutes an important incentive for the Director and a cost effective method of aligning the interests of Directors and shareholders whilst preserving the Company’s cash reserves.

Accordingly, the grant of the Director Options to RL Clark will not reduce the Company's 15% capacity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

In the event that shareholders do not approve the grant of the director options, the options will not be granted. No other form of replacement incentive and/or remuneration is currently available to directors should the options not be granted.
As at the date the Board resolved to issue Options to the directors the 5-day VWAP of the Company’s shares was $0.030 per share.

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.
The 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 the named Director as a related party of the Company is that the Director will be granted the options which have the value 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.
In relation to Resolution 9 dealing with the grant of Options to RL Clark, RL Clark abstains from making any recommendation to members in relation to the resolution as she has an interest in the outcome of the resolution
However, all other Directors recommend that members vote in favour of the resolution as they consider that the grant of the Options to RL Clark will provide a significant incentive for RL Clark to actively act in the interests of the Company and its members as it more closely aligns his interests to those of members and other security holders.
Within the knowledge of the directors, there is no other information reasonably required by members in order to decide whether or not it is in the interest of the members to pass proposed resolution 9. Clearly, the effect of passing the resolutions will, if the Options are ever exercised, be to dilute members’ interests proportionately and to reduce the respective voting power of each of them proportionately.
Note 10: Resolution 10 - Approval of 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A
Under Resolution 10, 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;
==> picture [474 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
28
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 10 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 168,916,018 ordinary shares on issue. Therefore, in addition to any equity securities it can issue under LR 7.1, if Resolution 10 is approved, the Company will have capacity to issue up to 16,891,602 equity securities under LR 7.1A, being up to 10% of the 168,916,018 fully paid ordinary shares presently on issue. However, the number of equity securities that may be issued under LR 7.1A may increase beyond 16,891,602, as the actual number of fully paid shares on issue may increase by the date of any issue that may be made should Resolution 10 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).
==> picture [474 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
29
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 10 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.
There were no issuances in the preceding 12 months.

Table showing various hypothetical scenarios as required by Listing Rule 7.3A.4
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.
| DILUTION | DILUTION | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable “A” in LR 7.1A.2 is presently 168.916.018 fully paid shares |

2 No of Shares rounded to nearest whole Share
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
==> picture [474 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
31
- the current price for shares is assumed to be $0.03, being the price on 12 October 2022 immediately prior to lodgment 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 10. 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 10 is considered prudential.
The Directors believe Resolution 10 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 10.

-
A duly appointed proxy need not be a Member.

This proxy 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.
-
In the case of joint holders of shares in the Company, all holders must sign.
-
Directors and Officers of corporate shareholders should note that unless the corporate shareholder either:
-
(i) completes and lodges with the Company a valid form of appointment of proxy; or
-
(ii) completes and either lodges with the Company a form of appointment of or certificate of appointment of personal representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 250D of the Corporations Act ( Act ) or causes such personal representative to attend the meeting with such form of appointment or certificate; or
-
(iii) has appointed an attorney,
and such proxy, personal representative or attorney attends the relevant meeting, then such corporate shareholder will be unable to exercise any votes at the relevant meeting.

Email: [email protected]
Corporate shareholders should comply with the provisions of Section 127 or Section 204A of the Act as applicable. Section 127 of the Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by: • two directors of the company; or
-
a director and a company secretary of the company; or
-
for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary - that director. In this case the signatory must state this next to their signature.
Section 204A of the Act permits a proprietary company that does not have a company secretary to validly execute an instrument appointing a proxy if it is executed by the sole company director of that company and the person signing the proxy states that next to their signature.
