Item 7 - Resolution 6 – Additional 10% Placement Capacity
Summary
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A allows eligible companies to issue an additional 10% of the Company's issued capital over a 12 month period provided approval by way of a special resolution is received from the holders of ordinary securities at an annual general meeting ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's standard 15% Placement Capacity, as calculated by ASX Listing Rule 7.1. An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company confirms it is an eligible entity and is seeking the approval of holders of ordinary securities by way of a special resolution at this AGM to confer the Company with the additional flexibility offered by the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.
The number of equity securities able to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is determined in accordance with the formula prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
The Company is seeking to have the flexibility conferred by the Additional 10% Placement Capacity to allow it to engage in potential future fundraising opportunities that may arise from time to time.
Detailed Description of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Shareholder Approval
The ability for the Company to issue equity securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is subject to the approval of holders of ordinary securities by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
Equity Securities
Any equity securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of equity securities. The Company, as at the date of this NOM, has on issue one class of quoted equity securities, namely, fully paid ordinary shares.
Formula for Calculating the Additional 10% Placement Capacity
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained the approval of holders of ordinary securities at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period following the date of the relevant annual general meeting, the number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A = the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the issue date or date of agreement to issue,
Page 9
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.
D = 10%
E = the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the issue date or date of agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability for an entity to issue equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% Placement Capacity, as calculated under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
As at the date of this NOM, the Company has on issue 396,301,350 fully paid ordinary shares and therefore has the capacity to issue:
-
59,445,202 equity securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (subject to the ratification of the Company's issues of fully paid ordinary shares the subject of resolutions 4 and 5); and
-
subject to this resolution 6 being passed, 39,630,135 equity securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated as at the date of issue or date of agreement to issue the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, referred to above.
Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity:
-
(a) The equity securities issued pursuant to the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the Company's quoted fully paid ordinary shares, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the equity securities are not issued within 5 trading days from the date referred to immediately above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.
Page 10
-
(b) An issue of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 involves the risk of economic and voting dilution for existing ordinary security holders, including a risk that:
-
the market price for equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.
The table below displays the potential dilution of existing holders of ordinary securities:
| DILUTION | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable "A" in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.21 |
Dilution Variable | $0.285 (50% decrease in the Deemed Market Price) |
$0.57 (Deemed Market Price)2 |
$0.855 (50% increase in the Deemed Market Price) |
| 396,301,350 | Additional 10% shares issued |
39,630,135 | 39,630,135 | 39,630,135 |
| Funds raised | $11,294,588.48 | $22,589,176.95 | $33,883,765.43 | |
| 594,452,025 (50% increase) |
Additional 10% shares issued |
59,445,2023 | 59,445,202 | 59,445,202 |
| Funds raised | $16,941,882.57 | $33,883,765.14 | $50,825,647.71 | |
| 792,602,700 (100% increase) |
Additional 10% shares issued |
79,260,270 | 79,260,270 | 79,260,270 |
| Funds raised | $22,589,176.95 | $45,178,353.90 | $67,767,530.85 |
In addition to the assumptions contained in the footnotes corresponding to specific items in the above table, the table has also been prepared based on the following further assumptions and qualifications:
-
the Company issues the maximum securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity;
-
the table does not demonstrate any examples of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by issues under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, and each shareholder should consider their individual dilution as a result of their specific circumstances;
-
the table only demonstrates the effect of issues of equity securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, and does not consider placements that may be made by the Company pursuant to its 15% Placement Capacity in addition to, or instead of, issues pursuant to the Additional 10% Placement Capacity;
1 Refer to the formula prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 above regarding how Variable "A" is calculated. As noted above, the Company's current Variable "A" is subject to the ratification of the Company's issues of fully paid ordinary shares the subject of resolutions 4 and 5.
2 The Deemed Market Price is $0.005 less than the closing price of the fully paid ordinary shares traded on the ASX as at 29 August 2016, and has been used for calculation purposes.
3 This has been rounded down to the nearest share.
Page 11
-
the price of ordinary shares is deemed for the purpose of the table above to be $0.57, being $0.005 less than the closing price of the Company's ordinary shares traded on the ASX as at 29 August 2016 and is indicative only; and
-
the table does not demonstrate the effect of the issue of quoted or unquoted options, which are other types of equity securities, under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. It only considers the issue of fully paid ordinary shares.
-
(c) The Company may issue equity securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity from the date of this AGM, and expiring on the earlier of the following:
-
12 months from the date of this AGM; and
-
the date of approval by holders of ordinary securities of any transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature of scale of the Company's activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company's main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company may issue equity securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity for a variety of purposes, including the following:
-
non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments in relation to the expansion of the Company's adventure tourism business as new opportunities arise, including the possible acquisition of other adventure tourism businesses, and equipment and supplementary equipment required to undertake adventure tourism activities, including, but not limited to, aircraft. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the noncash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments in relation to the expansion of the Company's adventure tourism business as new opportunities arise, including the possible acquisition of other adventure tourism businesses, and equipment and supplementary equipment required to undertake adventure tourism activities, including, but not limited to, aircraft and working capital.
-
(e) The allottees to whom equity securities may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined, but it may include existing shareholders, or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company. Further, the Company may engage its Additional 10% Placement Capacity to issue equity securities to the vendors of assets or investments, which the Company may seek to acquire.

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE VOTING FORM
The voting form can be used to either vote directly (Section 1) OR appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf (Section 2).
SECTION 1: DIRECT VOTING
If you wish to vote directly, you should clearly mark the box in Section 1 and the boxes in Section 3 to indicate your voting instruction for each resolution. Please only mark either “for” or “against” for each resolution. Do not mark the “abstain” box if you are voting directly. If no direction is given on a resolution, or if you complete both the boxes in Section 1 and 2, your vote may be passed to the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy. Securityholders, custodians and nominees may identify on the Voting Form the total number of votes in each of the categories “for” and “against” and their votes will be valid. The Chairman’s decision as to whether a direct vote is valid is final and conclusive.
SECTION 2: APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.
If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Section 2. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting or does not vote on a poll in accordance with your instructions, the Chairman of the Meeting will be your proxy by default. A proxy need not be a Securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered Securityholder in the space.
Appointment of a Second Proxy
You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) complete two forms. On each form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.
(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.
SECTION 3: VOTING DIRECTIONS
To cast your direct vote or to direct your proxy how to vote, place a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses (subject to any voting restriction that apply to your proxy). If you mark more than one box on a resolution for all your securities your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
Proxy which is a Body Corporate
Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the Meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.
