5. ITEM 7 - DETERMINATION OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ AGGREGATE FEE POOL
Under article 6.5(a) of the Company’s constitution, the Company may pay to the Non-Executive Directors a maximum total amount of director’s fees determined at a general meeting, or until so determined, as the Directors resolve. Prior to the 2012 Annual General Meeting, no resolution has been proposed at a general meeting to determine an aggregate fee pool for Non-Executive Directors. Accordingly, under both Listing Rule 10.17 and article 6.5(a) of the Company’s constitution, the Company is now seeking shareholder approval to determine the total aggregate remuneration per annum that may be paid to Non-Executive Directors.
The Company paid to its Non-Executive Directors a total amount of $139,342 (inclusive of superannuation) in fees for their services in the financial year ended 30 June 2012.
The Board has determined, with regard to the aggregate fee pools for non-executive directors of other junior exploration companies that are of a comparable size, that the aggregate remuneration pool for Non-Executive Directors be set at $300,000 per annum.
The Directors do not intend to utilise the entire maximum sum of $300,000 per annum in the first instance; however the Board believes that this sum will provide the Company with the flexibility to appoint further Non-Executive Directors if and when required to further strengthen the capability of the Board, and deal with the various interests of the Company. As at the date of this Notice, the Board currently has five Non-Executive Directors, including the Non-Executive Chairman. Each Non-Executive Director is remunerated at $50,000 per annum, save for the Non-Executive Chairman who is remunerated at $60,000 per annum (a total of $260,000 per annum).
6. ITEM 8 - RATIFICATION OF ISSUE AND ALLOTMENT OF SHARES
The Company seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for an issue of shares made by the Company on 9 August 2012 to a strategic sophisticated investor based in Malaysia, S Active Holding Sdn Bhd at an issue price of $0.12 per share ( Placement ).
The Company raised $1,423,625 under the Placement, with the objective of the using the funds to progress the Company’s ongoing exploration activities associated with its Plavica Project in Macedonia.
ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, issue or agree to issue shares during any 12 month period in excess of 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period without shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, by permitting the ratification of previous issues of shares which were not made under a prescribed exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with shareholder approval, provided that such issues did not breach the 15% threshold set out by Listing Rule 7.1. If shareholders of a company approve the ratification of such previous issues of shares at a general meeting, those shares will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Reason for resolution
The effect of ratification in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is the reinstatement of the Company’s maximum capacity to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company, if required, in the next 12 months without requiring shareholder approval. The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company that the Directors maintain their ability to issue up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company.
Genesis Resources Limited | Annual General Meeting 2012
6 | P a g e
The Directors do not currently have any specific intention to make any further issue of shares without approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in the next 12 months, unless such issue falls under an exception to the 15% threshold in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. However, the Directors consider it to be appropriate and prudent for approval to be sought at the Annual General Meeting, in respect of the relevant issue of shares made by the Company in the last twelve months. The Directors believe this approval will enhance the Company’s flexibility to finance strategic transactions through raising equity capital, should the Directors consider them to be in the best interests of the Company to do so.
In particular, the Directors note that if this approval is not obtained at the Annual General Meeting, the Company may be required to incur additional costs and delay of convening an extraordinary general meeting of the Company if the Directors propose to issue securities which do not fall under an exception to the 15% rule in ASX Listing Rule 7.2.
Issue of shares to S Active Holding Sdn Bhd
As above mentioned, the Company completed the Placement to a strategic sophisticated investor based in Malaysia, S Active Holding Sdn Bhd to raise approximately $1.4 million.
The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of shares the subject of the Placement and Item 8 did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, which contains requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the information in the following table is provided to shareholders:
| Reason for issue |
Recipient of issue |
Date of issue |
No. of shares issued |
Issue price per share |
Terms of issue | Use of funds raised |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| To raise funds for ongoing exploration activities associated with its Plavica Project in Macedonia. |
S Active Holding Sdn Bhd |
9 August 2012 |
11,863,548 | $0.12 | Fully paid ordinary shares ranking pari-passu with other existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company |
To provide capital to fund the Company’s ongoing exploration activities associated with its Plavica Project in Macedonia. |
Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Item 8.
7. ITEM 9 - APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS
General Presently, under Listing Rule 7.1, every listed entity has the ability to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, which was introduced on 1 August 2012, essentially permits eligible small and mid-cap ASX-listed entities, subject to shareholder approval, to issue Equity Securities of up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by way of placements over a 12 month period, in addition to its ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
The Company seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity. The effect of this resolution will be to allow the Directors, subject to the conditions set out below, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The resolution the subject of Item 9 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person or by proxy) at the meeting must be in favour of this resolution for it to be passed.
Genesis Resources Limited | Annual General Meeting 2012
7 | P a g e
Eligibility ASX-listed entities which have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, and which are not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index will be considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company, which has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million, is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index. Accordingly, the Company is considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Formula
The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined by a formula set out Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as follows:
(A x D) - E
Where:
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months (there are presently no partly paid shares on issue in the Company);
-
plus the number of shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
less the number of shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
-
‘A’ has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity
D is 10%.
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
Conditions of There are a number of conditions applicable to the issue of Equity Securities under issue under Listing Rule 7.1A, including a limitation on the discount to prevailing market price at the 10% which they may be issued, and additional disclosure requirements. A summary of Placement these conditions are as follows: Capacity
-
(a) Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity can only be in a class of securities already quoted. At the date of this Notice, the Company only has one class of securities which are quoted, being ordinary shares.
-
(b) The issue price of Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be no lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before either:
-
i. the date on which the Equity Securities are issued; or
-
ii. the date on which the price of the Equity Securities is agreed, provided that the issue is thereafter completed within 5 business days.
Period of In the event that the Company obtains shareholder approval of the resolution the validity of subject of Item 9, such approval will cease to be valid upon the earlier of: shareholder approval (a) 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting, being 26 November 2013;
-
(b) if applicable, the date on which the Company’s shareholders approve a change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities under Listing Rule 11.1.2, or the disposal of the Company’s main undertaking under Listing Rule 11.2; or
-
(c) such longer period if allowed by ASX.
Genesis Resources Limited | Annual General Meeting 2012

( Placement Period ) INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED TO SHAREHOLDERS UNDER ASX LISTING RULE 7.3A Minimum The issue price of Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must issue price be no lower than 75% of the VWAP of shares calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in shares were conducted immediately before either:
- iii. the date on which the Equity Securities are issued; or iv. the date on which the price of the Equity Securities is agreed, provided that the issue is thereafter completed within 5 business days.
-
Risk of If the resolution the subject of Item 9 is approved by shareholders, issue of Equity dilution to Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity may present a risk of economic and shareholders voting dilution of existing shareholders, including the risk that: � the market price of the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the relevant issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing shareholders under various scenarios on the basis of:
-
an issue price of $0.085 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 19 October 2012; and
-
the variable ‘A’ being calculated as the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue on the date of this Notice, being 96,486,430. This assumes that all shares issued by the Company to date are ratified and approved by shareholders under Item 8.
The table also shows:
-
(a) two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased by 50% and 100%. The number of shares on issue in the Company may increase as a result of the issue of shares that do not require approval of shareholders (for example, pro-rata entitlement issues or scrip issues under takeover offers) or future placements of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 of up to 15% of issued capital that are approved at future general meetings of shareholders; and
-
(b) two examples of where the issue price of shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100%.

|---|---|---|---|---|
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) the Company issues the maximum number of shares available under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
(b) no options to acquire shares on issue in the Company are exercised;
-
(c) the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue;
-
(d) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder as a result of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
(e) the table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A and not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(f) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of shares.
-
(g) the issue price is $0.085, being the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 19 October 2012.
Period of The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement validity Period. The approval under the resolution the subject of Item 9 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Reason for The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes: issue of shares under (a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new resources, assets and 10% investments, in which event the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash Placement consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or Capacity
- (b) cash consideration, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s existing and future exploration activities both locally and in Macedonia, appraisal of corporate and exploration opportunities, investment in new ventures (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of shares under Listing Rule 7.1.A and for general working capital
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A 4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
Allocation The Company may not issue any or all the Equity Securities for which approval is given policy and may issue the Equity Securities progressively as the Company places the Equity Securities with investors.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors such as:
-
fund raising options (and their viability) available to the Company at the relevant time;
-
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation of the Company and the urgency of the requirement for

Previous approval
funds; and
- advice from the Company’s corporate, financial, legal and broking advisers.
The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice. It is intended that the allottees will be suitable professional and sophisticated investors, and other investors not requiring a disclosure document under section 708 of the Corporations Act, that are known to the Company and/or introduced by third parties.
