2. Voting entitlements

In accordance with Regulations 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register of Shareholders as at 5.00pm (WST) on Monday, 28 March 2015. Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining Shareholders’ entitlements to attend and vote at the General Meeting.

3. Resolution 1 – Issue of Shares to Kenn Tat Ong (Jefrey Ong)

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act 2001 and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 2,700,000 Shares to Kenn Tat Ong (“Jefrey Ong”) (and/or his nominees).

As disclosed in the Company’s Replacement Prospectus dated 15 April 2015, the Company is to issue 2,700,000 fully paid ordinary shares to Jefrey Ong subject to the achievement of a revenue target for the Company of $6 million by 31 March 2016.

The Company advises that the $6 million revenue milestone has been achieved.

3.1 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

  • Chapter 10 of the Listing Rules contains certain provisions in relation to transactions between a company and “persons in a position of influence”. Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue equity securities to a “Related Party” without the approval of holders of ordinary securities by ordinary resolution. The term “Related Party” is defined in for these purposes to include a Related Party within the meaning of section 228 of the Corporations Act and a person whose relationship with the entity or a Related Party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If Resolution 1 is passed, securities will be issued to Jefrey Ong who is a Related Party of the Company. Accordingly approval for the proposed issue of Shares to Jefrey Ong is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a Notice of Meeting proposing an approval of an issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (i) the Company will issue the New Shares under Resolution 1 to Jefrey Ong (and/or his nominees);

  • (ii) the maximum number of securities to be issued by the Company under Resolution 1 is 2,700,000 Shares to Jefrey Ong;

  • (iii) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 months after the date of the General Meeting;

  • (iv) the Shares will be issued in recognition of Jefrey Ong's contribution in the Company's achievement of the $6million revenue milestone;

  • (v) Mr Jefrey Ong is a director of the Company;

  • (vi) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s Existing Shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Existing Shares; and

  • (vii) the issue of the Shares are for no cash consideration and are issued as consideration for services as outlined above.

3.2 Section 208 of the Corporations Act

Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from giving a financial benefit (including an issues of shares) to a Related Party of the company without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the Related Party or by an Associate of the Related Party or the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in the Corporations Act..

The proposed issue of 2,700,000 Shares to Jefrey Ong constitutes a “financial benefit” as defined in the Corporations Act. Accordingly the proposed issue of Shares to Jefrey Ong Pty Ltd pursuant to Resolution 1 will constitute the provision of a financial benefit to a Related Party of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions under the Corporations Act to the provision of a financial benefit to a Related Party may not apply in the current circumstances. The Directors have determined to seek Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act to permit the issue of the securities to Jefrey Ong on the terms set out in Resolution 1.

3.3 Section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act

  • Pursuant to sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act, the Company provides the following information to Shareholders in respect of the proposed financial benefit to be given to Jefrey Ong:

  • (i) the Related Party to which the financial benefit will be given is Jefrey Ong (and/or his nominees);

  • (ii) the maximum number of securities (being the nature of the financial benefit to be provided) to be issued is 2,700,000 Shares to Jefrey Ong (and/or his nominees);

  • (iii) in resolving to issue the Shares to Mr Ong, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, the Directors (other than Mr Ong) considered Mr Ong's contribution to the Company's achievement of the $6million revenue milestone;

  • (iv) none of the Directors, other than Mr Ong, has a material personal interest in the subject matter of Resolution 1. Each of the Directors, other than Mr Ong, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1;

  • (v) Mr Ong has to date been paid $75,000 for his services to the Company over the last 12 months;

  • (vi) As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Mr Ong holds 187,309 Shares directly in the Company, and 96,000,000 Shares indirectly in the Company. Of the 96,000,000 Shares indirectly, 88,500,000 shares are escrowed for 24 months from 16 June 2015;

  • (vii) If Shareholders approve the issue of Shares to Mr Ong, then the dilutionary effect of that issue on the shareholdings of Existing Shareholders is 1.39%.

  • (viii) ASIC requires explanatory information regarding the value of the financial benefit proposed to be granted to be provided to Shareholders. The value of the Shares proposed to be issued to Mr Ong is shown in the table below, using highest and lowest and last trading prices on ASX during the last 3 months:

Price Value
Highest $0.32 $864,000
Lowest $0.16 $432,000
Last $0.21 $567,000
  • (ix) additional information in relation to Resolution 1 is set out throughout this Explanatory Statement. Shareholders should therefore read the Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement in its entirety before making a decision as to how to vote on Resolution 1.

3.4 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Ong) do not have any personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 1. The Directors (other than Mr Ong) believe that the issue of Shares is beneficial to the Company as it conserves the Company’s cash position and rewards and incentivises Mr Ong.

The Directors (other than Mr Ong) believe that the number of Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 1 are commercial for the Company in light of the minimal dilutionary effect and the preservations of the Company’s cash, described above and recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Mr Ong declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 1 due to the fact that he has a material personal interest in the outcome.

4. Resolution 2 – Ratification of Issue of Shares

On 5 February 2016 the Company announced that it had issued 2,792,000 fully paid ordinary shares to employees of Flexiroam Sdn Bhd under the Company's Performance Rights Plan. The details of the Performance Rights Plan were set out in the Company's Replacement Prospectus dated 15 April 2015 and is to reward high calibre employees for their performance and enable them to participate in the Company's future growth.

Shareholder approval is sought to approve and ratify the 2,792,000 Shares previously issued to employees of Flexiroam Sdn Bhd referred to in Resolution 2.

4.1 ASX Listing Rules

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that (subject to certain exceptions, none of which are relevant here) prior approval of shareholders is required for an issue of securities by a company if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of the ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities by a company made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s shareholders subsequently approve it. Such approval replenishes the company’s 15% capacity and enables it to issue further securities up to that limit. Accordingly, if Resolution 2 is approved, the Shares issued under the Placement will not be included in the Company’s 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to the Shareholders in relation to obtaining approval of Resolution 2 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4:

Number of Securities allotted

A total of 2,792,000 Shares were issued.

The price at which the Securities were issued

The Securities were issued for no cash consideration under the Performance Rights Plan.

The terms of the Securities

The Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

Names of the persons to whom securities were issued

The Shares were issued to employees of the Company's subsidiary Flexiroam Sdn Bhd who were not related parties of the Company.

The use of (or intended use) of the funds raised

The Company did not raise any funds from the issue of the Shares
