Cleansing Notice – Convertible Note Issue

This is a Notice given under section 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (inserted by ASIC Class Order CO 10/322)

This Cleansing Notice has been prepared by Energy Technologies Limited (“EGY”) for the purposes of section 708A (12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (as inserted by ASIC Class Order CO 10/322). The issue of this Cleansing Notice enables the fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the conversion of the convertible notes issued by the Company on the terms described below to be on-sold to retail investors without further disclosure.

This Cleansing Notice is important and should be read in its entirety.

  1. Background and contents of Cleansing Notice

EGY has so far secured commitments to raise $700,000.00 by the issue of secured convertible notes, from a possible facility limit of $1,000,000.00. The commitments were received as a result of personal offers made to investors, and acceptance of the offers does not result in a breach of the 20 investors/ $2 million ceiling set out in s708 of the Corporations Act.

If the facility is fully drawn down, it is expected to result in the issue of 700 Convertible Notes each with a face value of one thousand dollars to investors. Shareholder approval to the issue of the Convertible Notes was given at the Annual General Meeting of the company held on 5 December 2013.

The terms of the Convertible Notes are set out in a Convertible Note Deed Poll (“Deed Poll”) executed by the Company in favour of the Note holders, and are summarised in section 4 below.

The Convertible Notes are for a principal amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per note, with a minimum subscription of 25 notes per investor. The Convertible Notes are paid for in full on subscription, which will be at a time nominated by EGY by notice to the investor. Each investor will be paid interest at the rate of one per cent (1%) per annum on the amount of their commitment from the time of commitment. Each Convertible Note will bear interest at the rate which is eight percentage points higher than the RBA Cash Rate from time to time, from subscription until conversion. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. The Convertible Notes will mature on 1 November 2016.

On 9 December 2013, EGY issued 216 Notes under the facility. A cleansing notice in respect of those Notes was given on 6 December 2013. EGY expects to issue today, or within the next two business days, a further 250 convertible notes under the facility.

The Directors consider that the raising of capital by the issue of Convertible Notes is in the best interests of EGY. The funds raised will be used:

  • (a) partly to partly fund the payments by EGY to the Vendor of Bambach Wires and Cables Pty Ltd (“BWC”); and

  • (b) partly for general working capital purposes.

This Cleansing Notice sets out the following:

(a) in relation to the Convertible Notes:

  • (1) the effect of the issue on the Company;

  • (2) a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Convertible Notes; and

  • (3) a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the shares that will be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes; and

  • (b) any information that:

    • (1) has been excluded from continuous disclosure notice in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules; and

      • (B) the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares; and

    • (3) and other information relating to the Company’s status as a disclosing entity and where document may be obtained.

  • The effect of the issue on the structure of the Company

  • 2.1 Effect of the issue on the Company

The principal effects of the issue of the Convertible Notes on EGY will be to:

  • (a) increase the Company’s cash reserves by $250,000.00;

  • (b) give rise to the Company having a liability for the amount of the face value of the Convertible Notes;

  • (c) if the Convertible Notes are converted, either whole or in part, increase the number of shares on issue as a consequence of the issue of shares on the conversion of the Convertible Notes.

  • 2.2 Pro-forma balance sheet of the Company taking into account issue of the Convertible Security

  • (a) Set out below is a pro-forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company, as at 30 June 2013, based on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company adjusted to reflect the Convertible Note issue already made, and the convertible note issue that will be made following this notice, and prepared on the basis of the accounting policies normally adopted by the Company

  • (b) The pro-forma financial information is presented in an abbreviated form in so far as it does not include all of the disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards applicable to the annual financial statements. The pro-forma financial information is not audited. The classification of the allocations between debt and equity for the Convertible Notes may change in the future.

  • 2.3 Potential effect on share structure

  • (a) As at the date of this Cleansing Notice, the issued capital of the Company is 179,695,129 ordinary shares.

  • (b) The Company will, pursuant to the financing facility, issue 250 Convertible Notes at $1,000 per convertible note in order for the Company to raise a total of $250,000.00.

  • (c) The capital structure of the company will be affected by the conversion of the Convertible Notes by the Note holders which will result in additional shares being issued, and the liability position of the company decreasing accordingly.

  • (d) The number of shares issued under each convertible note will be one hundred thousand (100,000).

  • (e) The Convertible Notes can be converted at any time prior to the Maturity Date at the request of the Note holder, or they will automatically be redeemed (by repayment) on the Maturity Date.

  • (f) If the Note holders convert the maximum number of 250 Convertible Notes, then 25,000,000 (twenty five million) new shares would be issued. The actual effect on the share capital of the Company will depend on how many Convertible Notes are converted.

  • Rights and liabilities attaching to the convertible notes

A summary of the key terms of the Convertible Note facility is set out in Annexure A.

  1. Rights and liabilities attaching to shares issued under the convertible notes

The shares to be issued to the Note holders on the conversion of the Convertible Notes will rank equally in all respects with all of the Company’s existing shares. The rights attaching to shares, including new shares to be issued to the Note holders on the conversion of the Convertible Notes, are set out in the Company’s constitution, and, in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and the general law.

The company intends to apply to ASX Limited for quotation of the shares issued on conversion of any Convertible Notes.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected, free of charge, at the Company’s registered office during normal business hour.

The following is a broad summary of the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to all shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of shareholders.

Voting

Every holder of shares present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands and, on a poll, one vote for every fully paid share held by him or her.

Dividends

The company’s directors may declare a dividend is payable and fix the amount and the time for and method of payment.

All fully paid shares, on which any dividend is declared or paid, are entitled to participate in that dividend equally.

Transfer of shares

Shares may be transferred, and the transfers may be registered, in any manner required or permitted by the ASX Listing Rules. The Company must comply with and give effect to those rules and it may, in accordance with those rules, decline to issue certificates for holdings of shares.

Meetings and notice

Each shareholder is entitled to received notice of and to attend general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices required to be sent to shareholders under the Constitution.

Issue of further shares

The company’s directors may allot, issue or grant options in respect of, further shares on such terms and conditions as they see fit, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

Variation of rights

If at any time the share capital of the company is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class may be varied or cancelled with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company (which must be passed by at least 75% of shareholders present and voting at a general meeting) and with either:

  • (a) the consent in writing of the holders of 75% of the issued shares of that class; or

  • (b) by a special resolution passed at a meeting of the holders of the shares of that class (which must be passed by at least 75% of class members present and voting at the meeting).

Non-marketable parcels

The Constitution contains procedures to enable the Company to seek to sell non-marketable parcels of shares on behalf of shareholders, unless the shareholder requests otherwise.

  1. Compliance with disclosure obligations

The company is a “disclosing entity” under the Corporations Act and, accordingly, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under both the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise. In particular, the Company is obliged to continuously disclose to the market immediately any information which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s shares.

The Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASIC yearly and half-yearly financial statements accompanied by a directors’ statement and report, and an audit report or review. Copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an ASIC office.

The Company will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request:

  • (a) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with ASIC, being the financial report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2013;

  • (b) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with ASIC after the lodgement of the 2013 financial report and before the lodgement of this Cleansing Notice with ASX; and

  • (c) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX after the lodgement of the 2013 financial report and before the lodgement of this Cleansing Notice with ASX.

A list of the continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX after the lodgement of the 2013 financial report and before the lodgement of this Cleansing Notice with ASX is set out in the table below.
