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 and no convertible notes on issue are converted;
Genesis Resources Limited | Annual General Meeting 2019
12 | P a g e
| (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 Meeting. (e) the table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. (f) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of shares. (g) the issue price is $0.003, being the closing price of the Company’s shares on theASXon8 October 2019. |
|
|---|---|
| Period of validity | The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 5 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 issue of shares under 10% Placement Capacity |
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes: (a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets, businesses or investments, in which event the Company will provide a valuation of the non- cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or (b) cash consideration, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s existing and future activities; marketing activities, appraisal of corporate opportunities, investment in new businesses (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of shares under ASX 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 policy | The Company may not issue any or all the Equity Securities for which approval is given 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: 1. fund raising options (and their viability) available to the Company at the relevant time; 2. the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; 3. the financial situation of the Company and the urgency of the requirement for funds; and 4. 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 |
Genesis Resources Limited | Annual General Meeting 2019
13 | P a g e
| Company and/or introduced by third parties. The allottees may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders, but the allottees will not be related parties of the Company. In the event that the shares under the 10% Placement Capacity are issued as consideration for the acquisition of businesses, assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of such businesses, assets or investments. |
|
|---|---|
| Previous approval | The Company previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A on 19 November 2018. As at 28 November 2018, being the date that is 12 months prior to this Meeting, the Company had the following Equity Securities on issue: Class of Equity Securities Number Fully paid ordinary shares 782,841,294 TOTAL 782,841,294 No equity securities were issued in the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting. |
| Ranking of shares | Any shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will rank equally with all other existing shares on issue in the Company. |

| liabilities attaching to shares |
Set out in the Constitution; and |
| In certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, |
|
| Listing Rules, ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the general | |
| law. | |
| A summary of the significant rights attaching to the Shares and a | |
| description of other material provisions of the Constitution are set out | |
| below. The summary is not exhaustive nor does it constitute a definitive | |
| statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. | |
| Voting at a general | At a general meeting of Genesis, every Shareholder present in person or |
| meeting | by proxy, representative or attorney has one vote on a show of hands and, |
| on a poll, one vote for each Share held. | |
| Meetings of | Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at |

| other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the | |
| Constitution, Corporations Act and Listing Rules. | |

| and fix the amount of the dividend, the time for determining entitlements | |
| to the dividend and the timing and method of payment | |

| any other method permitted by the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or ASX | |
| Settlement Operating Rules. The Board may refuse to register a transfer | |

Unmarketable parcels
Share buy backs
Variation of class rights
Subject to the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules, Genesis may sell the Shares of a Shareholder who holds less than a marketable parcel of Shares.
Subject to the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules, Genesis may buy back Shares in itself on terms and at times determined by the Board.
At present, Genesis’ only class of shares on issue is ordinary Shares. Subject to the Corporations Act and the terms of issue of a class of shares, the rights attaching to any class of shares may be varied or cancelled:
-
With the consent in writing of the holders of 75% of the issued shares included in that class; or
-
By a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of those shares.
Directors – appointment and removal
Directors – voting
Directors – remuneration
Variation of the Constitution
Under the Constitution, the minimum number of Directors that may comprise the Board is three. Directors are elected at annual general meetings of Genesis. Retirement will occur on a rotational basis so that no Director (excluding any managing director) holds office without reelection beyond the third annual general meeting following the meeting at which the Director was last elected or re-elected. The Directors may also appoint a Director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board up to the minimum number of Directors, until the next annual general meeting of Genesis.
Questions arising at a meeting of the Board will be decided by a majority of votes of the Directors present at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. In the case of an equality of votes on a resolution where the number of directors voting is more than two, the chairperson of the meeting does not have a casting vote and the matter is decided in the negative.
The Constitution provides that Non-Executive Directors are entitled to such remuneration as determined by the Board but which must not exceed in aggregate the maximum amount determined by Shareholders at a general meeting.
The Constitution can only be amended by special resolution passed by at least 75% of Shareholders present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote on the resolution at a general meeting of Genesis. Genesis must give at least 28 days’ written notice of a general meeting of Genesis members.
