Rights Issue Offer Document

page:6

4.2 Offer Price

The Offer Price payable for each New Share is $0.03.

Eligible Shareholders will not be required to pay brokerage or other fees in respect of New Shares acquired under the Offer. Eligible Shareholders should note that the market price of Genesis Shares may rise and fall between the date of this Offer Document and the date on which the New Shares are allotted. Accordingly, the price you pay per New Share pursuant to the Offer may be higher or lower than the market price of Shares at the time of this Offer or at the time the New Shares are issued under this Offer.

Genesis recommends that you monitor the price of Genesis Shares, which can be done via the ASX website at www.asx.com.au (ASX: GES).

4.3 No trading of Entitlements

The Offer is made on a ‘non-renounceable’ basis, which means that you cannot sell, trade or transfer all or any part of your Entitlement to New Shares under the Offer. Any part of your Entitlement that is not accepted by you will lapse.

4.4 Minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Offer.

4.5 Underwriting

The Offer is partially underwritten. Further details on the Underwriter and the terms of the underwriting are included in section 8.4.

4.6 Directors’ Entitlements

The Company’s Directors who hold Shares in Genesis intend to apply for their Entitlements under the Offer.

The offer will be partially underwritten to the value of $2,000,000.00 by S Active Holding Sdn Bhd (the Underwriter ), which is an entity controlled by the Director Mr Lim.

4.7 Shortfall Facility

The Company proposes to adopt a dispersion strategy for dealing with any Shortfall by way of a facility for Shareholders to apply for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlements not taken up under the Rights Issue ( Shortfall Facility ).

Under the Shortfall Facility, subject to the Corporations Act and the requirements of the Listing Rules, Eligible Shareholders who subscribe for their full Entitlement may apply for more New Shares than the number shown on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form ( Additional Shares ). The issue price of each Additional Share will be the Offer Price.

The Company will only issue up to the aggregate number of New Shares that are offered under the Offer, being 128,295,129 Shares, therefore it may be necessary to scale-back Applications for Additional Shares if all Applications exceed this number.

The Company’s allocation policy under the Shortfall Facility will be such that if Genesis receives Applications for Additional Shares under the Shortfall Facility which in aggregate are more than the total number of Shortfall Shares, then the Applications under the Shortfall Facility will be scaled back:

  1. on a pro-rata basis, according to the proportional number of Shares held by each Eligible Shareholder under the Shortfall Facility as at the Record Date;

  2. such that the maximum number of Shares to be issued under the Shortfall Facility will not exceed the total number of Shortfall Shares; and

Rights Issue Offer Document

page:7

  1. so that no Eligible Shareholder will be issued with more than the number of Additional Shares they applied for under the Shortfall Facility.

Shareholders will not be permitted to acquire a relevant interest in the Company’s share capital that is in excess of 20%. Therefore, any Shareholders who may, as a result of applying for any Additional Shares under the Shortfall Facility, be at a risk of exceeding the takeovers threshold set out in section 606 of the Corporations Act, should seek professional advice before completing and returning the enclosed Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

In the event of any disputes in relation to the implementation of the allocation policy outlined above, the Board in consultation with the Underwriter reserves the right to resolve such disputes in a manner it deems appropriate, and at its sole discretion. The decision of the Board as to allocation of Additional Shares is final.

There is no guarantee that you will receive Additional Shares and the Directors do not represent that any Applications for Additional Shares will be successful. By applying under the Shortfall Facility, you agree to accept a lesser number of Additional Shares than that applied for in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If the number of Additional Shares allotted to an Eligible Shareholder is less than the number applied for by that Eligible Shareholder, surplus Application Monies will be refunded in full. Interest will not be paid on monies refunded.

Any Additional Shares will be allotted at the same time as the New Shares on or around Friday 23 September 2016, in accordance with the Offer timetable.

4.8 Placement of remaining Shortfall

In the event that, following the close of the Offer and a shortfall remains after completion of the underwriting and the issue of Additional Shares under the Shortfall Facility, the Directors reserve the right to place such shortfall Shares at their discretion with persons interested in subscribing for Shares in the Company ( Shortfall Placement ).

Any Shortfall Placement will be made subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, and within 3 months of the close of the Offer.

4.9 New Shares issued under the Offer

New Shares issued under the Offer will be fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with Genesis ordinary shares currently on issue. For further information on the rights attaching to New Shares, refer to section 9.

Genesis will apply to ASX for Quotation of the New Shares to be issued under the Offer. If ASX does not grant permission for the Quotation of the New Shares within 3 months of the date the Offer opens, Genesis will refund all Application Monies, without interest, as soon as practicable.

If you sell New Shares issued under the Offer before you receive a holding statement, you do so at your own risk.

5 How to apply for New Shares

5.1 Entitlement under the Offer

An Eligible Shareholder’s Entitlement will be set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Offer Document which will be sent to Eligible Shareholders on Monday 22 August 2016. Eligible Shareholders will be entitled to 1 New Share for every 3 Genesis Shares held as at the Record Date.

If you have more than one holding of Genesis Shares you will receive more than one set of Offer Documents and you will have a separate Entitlement for each holding.

Rights Issue Offer Document

page:10

6 The purpose and effect of the Offer

6.1 Purpose of the Offer and use of funds

As announced to the market on 12 May 2015, Silgen Resources International Ltd, Kratovo ( Silgen ), the joint venture company owned by the Company and its joint venture partner RIK Sileks AD Kratovo ( Sileks ) in 62% and 38% proportions respectively, has been granted a 30 years exploitation (mining) licence for the Plavica tenement ( Licence ).

As the joint venture party responsible for managing the Plavica Project, the Company is seeking to raise capital under the Offer to meet its obligations under its joint venture agreement with Sileks to undertake infill and extensional drilling and complete a feasibility study in respect of the exploitation licence area (as required to obtain funding for mine development) and for general working capital purposes. Genesis expects to complete the proposed infill and extensional drilling and the feasibility study within 2.5 years of the JV Company being granted the exploitation licence, and has agreed to commit up to US$7.5M for such activities.

6.2 Effect of the Offer on Shareholder dilution and the control of Genesis

The effect of the Rights Issue on the control of Genesis will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • (a) the level of Eligible Shareholder participation in the Entitlement component of the Offer and the identity of Eligible Shareholders who do participate in the Entitlement component of the Offer;

  • (b) if applicable, the level of Eligible Shareholder participation in the Shortfall Facility and the identity of Eligible Shareholders who do participate in the Shortfall Facility;

  • (c) the extent to which the underwriting or sub-underwriting is called upon; and

  • (d) the identity of investors who participate in any Shortfall Placement following the close of the Offer; and the level of such investor participation;

  • (e) the level of dispersion of Shortfall Shares (if any) to the Underwriter and any sub-underwriters of the Offer.

The potential effect of the Offer on the control of the Company is as follows:

  1. If all Eligible Shareholders take up their full Entitlements, there would be no significant effect on the control of Genesis, as the Offer is made pro-rata and in that case no rights would lapse or revert to the Shortfall Facility, Shortfall for the Underwriter or sub-underwriters (see section 8.4) or Shortfall Placement.

  2. If Eligible Shareholders do not take up their full Entitlements under the Offer, then the interests of those Eligible Shareholders will be diluted.

  3. The proportional interests of Ineligible Shareholders will be diluted because those Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Offer.

It is not presently possible for the Directors to predict the final level of underwriting, subscription by Eligible Shareholders and Shortfall under the Rights Issue, or the identity of Eligible Shareholders who will subscribe for their Entitlements or Additional Shares. Further, the Directors are not presently able to state with certainty the identity of prospective subscribers under any Shortfall Placement, or the total number of Shortfall Shares which will or can be placed. Notwithstanding these limitations, upon the assumption that none of the subscribers of Shortfall Shares are existing Shareholders, the maximum dilutionary effect the Rights Issue and Shortfall Placement will have on existing Shareholders will be in accordance with the tables set out below (and subject to the assumptions stated below).

  • (a) Assuming that the Underwriter subscribes for the Underwritten Amount (as defined in section 8.4 of this Offer Document) and the Directors are able to place 75% of the Shortfall Shares remaining following the close of the Offer:

The Underwriter, which currently holds 22,117,930 Shares in the Company, has indicated to the Company that it will not subscribe for its Entitlement under the Offer.

If no Shareholder was to take up any of their Entitlement ( Lack of Shareholder Subscription ), the Underwriter would therefore be bound to subscribe for 66,666,667 Shares to cover the Underwritten Amount of $2,000,000.00. The final shareholding interests of the Underwriter (in the event that the Underwriter elects to directly subscribe for these shares instead of allocating Shares to sub-underwriters) upon completion of the Offer in the event of Lack of Shareholder Subscription will be as follows (on the basis that the Underwriter does not subscribe for its Entitlement under the Offer):

Number of Shares currently held by Underwriter in Genesis 22,117,930
Currentpercentage of Genesis’ issued capital(%) 5.75%
Entitlement Shares expected to be taken up by the Underwriter Nil
Maximum underwritten Shares 66,666,667
Maximum number of Shares acquired under the Offer 66,666,667
Total maximum holding 88,784,597 (being the total of current holding
and maximum shares acquired under Offer)
Maximum percentage of Genesis’ issued capital (%) 19.66%

*Note: the table above has been prepared on the basis that the Underwriter will not subscribe for its Entitlement under the Offer.

As the Company does not propose to apply to ASIC for approval of the appointment of a nominee for the purposes of section 615 of the Corporations Act, no person will be permitted to acquire New Shares under the Rights Issue to the extent that such acquisition results in that person holding a relevant interest exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company on a post Rights Issue basis.

The final shareholding interests of the Underwriter upon completion of the Offer will depend upon the factors noted earlier in this section 6.2.

The following can be said about the potential effect of the Offer on the control of Genesis:

  • currently, the Underwriter does not control Genesis;

  • as noted above, if every Shareholder was to take up their full entitlement, there would be no effect on the control of Genesis following the Offer; and

  • should other Shareholders elect not to participate in the Offer, it would result in the Underwriter increasing its holding in Genesis, giving it increased voting rights as well as gaining a greater degree of influence over the operations of Genesis.

As the Rights Issue is not fully underwritten and there is no guarantee that the Directors can place any or all of the Shortfall Shares remaining after the close of the Offer, where the Entitlement component of the Offer and Shortfall Facility is not well subscribed, the Rights Issue may result in one or more substantial Shareholders increasing their voting power in Genesis (but subject to the 20% threshold). The current substantial Shareholders of Genesis as at the date of this Offer Document, according to substantial holding notices lodged with the Company, are as follows:

Substantial Shareholder No. of shares % of current issued capital
CiticorpNominees PtyLimited 74,424,161 19.34%
Kin Po Yu and Huahui GroupHoldings PtyLtd 36,000,000 9.35%
Blumont GroupLtd 33,002,561 8.57%

Spektra Jeotek Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. 25,630,833 6.66%

Kar Ghee Ong 24,864,384 6.46%
S Active HoldingSdn Bhd 22,117,930 5.75%

The Board is cognisant that where the Rights Issue is significantly undersubscribed, a potential effect of any Shortfall Placement may be that a subscriber under any Shortfall Placement could potentially acquire control of the Company. To this end, the Directors intend to allocate shortfall Shares (if any) in accordance with the allocation policy described below, which is designed to mitigate potential control effects of any Shortfall Placement.

In the event that there are shortfall Shares remaining after the close of the Offer and the issue of the Entitlement Shares, Additional Shares and underwritten Shares, the Board may issue and allot the shortfall Shares to sophisticated investors and professional investors introduced to the Company by the Company’s advisors and/or invited by the Company to participate in the Shortfall Placement. In the event of a significant shortfall, the Board reserves the right to engage one or more brokers to act as lead manager(s) to the placement of shortfall Shares. To the extent that is commercially practicable and taking into account Genesis’ requirement for funds, the Directors (working in conjunction with the lead manager(s) if applicable) will endeavour to allot the shortfall Shares to a spread of investors, in order to mitigate any control effects which may arise from issuing the shortfall Shares to a single or small number of investors. In any event, no subscriber will be permitted to acquire Shares under the Shortfall Placement to the extent that such acquisition would result in that subscriber having a voting power in Genesis in excess of 20% (on a post Rights Issue and Shortfall Placement basis). In determining the allottees under any Shortfall Placement, the Company (and lead manager(s) if applicable) will ensure that no shortfall shares are allotted to related parties of the Company.

Business specific risks that may impact significantly on Genesis, its performance and the price of its Shares include:

  • the overall performance of management and the ability of senior management to manage business operations;

  • the loss of one or more of Genesis key managers or executives;

  • there is no assurance that funds expended by Genesis on exploration activities will result in discoveries or development prospects that will be economically viable;

  • the metallurgical characteristics of mineral deposits being explored and developed by the Company may be such as to prevent commercial exploitation;

  • fluctuations in metal prices may adversely impact on Genesis’ exploration and future development;

  • additional funding may be required for further exploration, appraisal and development, and there is no assurance that Genesis will be able to raise such funding;

  • national and local environmental and heritage laws and regulations may impact adversely on exploration and future development at any one of its projects; and

  • unexpected circumstances may arise at any time which may have adverse impacts on the Company’s activities.

The above risks should not be taken to be exhaustive of the risks faced by Genesis or its Shareholders. Those risk factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may materially affect the financial performance of Genesis and the value of its Shares in the future.

8.3 Taxation

There may be tax consequences associated with being issued New Shares under the Offer. None of Genesis, its officers, employees or advisers is giving or is able to give you advice about the specific tax consequences for you. All investors should satisfy themselves of any possible tax consequences by consulting their own professional tax advisers.

8.4 Underwriting arrangements

Genesis has entered into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter, S Active Holding Sdn Bhd, which as explained in section 4.6 is an entity controlled by the Company’s Director Mr Lim.

The Underwriter has agreed to underwrite the Offer such that it will contribute up to $2,000,000.00 (depending on the amount taken up by Eligible Shareholders in terms of their Entitlements and under the Shortfall Facility), and therefore the Offer will raise at least $2,000,000.00.

Under the underwriting arrangements, the Underwriter is committed to:

  • if the Shortfall is $2,000,000.00 or less, apply or procure applications for (generally speaking) any Shortfall between the number of New Shares actually applied for under the Offer and a number of New Shares that if applied for would raise $3,848,853.86; or

  • if the Shortfall is greater than $2,000,000.00, apply or procure application for (generally speaking) an amount of $2,000,000.00.

( Underwritten Amount ).

In line with similar underwritings in offers similar to the Offer:

  • Genesis gives a range of traditional warranties and both positive and negative undertakings in favour of the Underwriter;

  • The Underwriter is required to meet its obligations under the underwriting agreement within 3 business days of receiving notification from the Company of the underwriting shortfall amount;

  • an Underwriter may terminate its underwriting agreement and thereby be released from its obligations on the occurrence of certain traditional events, including if:

  • there is an event, material change or development affecting Genesis or its industry which would have a material adverse effect on Genesis or the Offer; or

  • there is a breach by Genesis of any standard warranty provided under the agreement or other material breach of the agreement;

  • The Underwriter will be paid an underwriting fee of 2.5% of its maximum underwriting financial commitment and a management fee of 1% of its maximum underwriting financial commitment; and

  • Genesis will be responsible for all costs of the Underwriter.

Under the underwriting agreement, the Board has the discretion under the Shortfall Facility to issue Shares to Eligible Shareholders who subscribe for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement and not taken up under the Offer in advance of determining the Shortfall that the Underwriter will be required to take up.

The potential impact of the underwriting arrangements on Shareholder dilution and the control of Genesis is explained in section 6.2.

Applications for Additional Shares under the Shortfall Facility from Eligible Shareholders will reduce the amount of any Shortfall which would otherwise be taken by the Underwriter.

8.5 Discretion of the Board
