This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in relation to the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at Level 1, 278 Stirling Highway Claremont on Tuesday 11 October 2016 at 4.30 pm WST.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the glossary to this document.

1. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

1.1 Background

On 18 August 2016 The Company announced a capital raising of $15.0 million (350,000,000 Shares) to be undertaken with sophisticated and professional investors to raise working capital to finance operations of the Company particularly the exploration in the Company’s investment into the Woodlark Island Project, at the Company’s Kou Sa Project in Cambodia and the Company’s Fiji projects ( Placement ).

On 23 and 26 August 2016, the Company issued 261,235,605 Shares pursuant to an authority from shareholders to issue 50,000,000 shares granted at the Company’s AGM on 31 May 2016 and its capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A ( Tranche 1 ). The Balance of the Placement is subject to Shareholder approval ( Tranche 2 ).

The purpose of Resolution 1 and 2 is for Shareholders to approve and ratify the issue of Tranche 1 undertaken without Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.

1.2 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, unless an exemption applies, a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will in themselves or when aggregated with the ordinary securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of securities 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 members subsequently approve it.

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that a company can apply to shareholders at an Annual General Meeting (“ AGM ”) to increase the capacity to issue shares by a further 10%. Geopacific obtained shareholder approval at the Company’s AGM on 31 May 2016.

Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1A is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A and the company’s members subsequently approve it.

Under Resolutions 1 and 2, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the Shares set out in section 1.1 so as to limit the restrictive effect of Listing

6

Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A on any further issues of Equity Securities in the next 12 months.

The Shares issued, for which approval and ratification is sought under Resolutions 1 and 2, comprise approximately 20% of the Company’s fully diluted issued capital as at the date of this notice (assuming no further issues of securities by the Company).

In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, Shareholders are advised of the following information:

(a) Number of securities allotted

Under Resolutions 1 and 2, the Company seeks from Shareholders approval for, and ratification of, the issue of 211,235,605 Shares.

(b) The price at which the securities were issued

The Shares were issued for $0.043 per Share.

(c) Terms of the securities

The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares and rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares. Official quotation of the Shares has been granted by ASX.

  • (d) Allottees of the securities

Allottees of the Shares were professional or sophisticated investors.

None of the allottees were Related Parties of the Company (or associates of such persons) at the time of issue of the Shares.

  • (e) The use of the funds raised

The purpose of the issue was to raise working capital to finance operations of the Company particularly the exploration in the Company’s investment into the Woodlark Island Project, at the Company’s Kou Sa Project in Cambodia and the Company’s Fiji projects.

(f) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement for each of Resolutions 1 and 2 is included in the Notice preceding this Explanatory Statement.

1.3 Recommendation of Directors

The Board believes that the ratification of these issues is beneficial for the Company as it allows the Company to ratify the above issues of securities and retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% of the Company’s share capital under Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions.

3.2 Corporations Act Requirements

  • (a) Prohibition on certain acquisitions of relevant interests in voting shares.

Section 606 of the Corporations Act prohibits a person acquiring a relevant interest in the voting shares in a company, if as a result of the acquisition that person’s or someone else’s voting power in the company increases from 20% or below to more than 20%, or from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.

Section 608 of the Corporations Act provides that a person has a relevant interest in the securities if they:

  • (i) are the holder of the securities; or

  • (ii) have power to exercise, or control the exercise, or control the exercise of, a right to vote attached to securities; or

  • (iii) have power to dispose of, or control the exercise of a power to dispose of, the securities.

It does not matter how remote the relevant interest is or how it arises. If two or more people can jointly exercise of these powers, each of them is taken to have that power.

The voting power of a person is determined under section 610 of the Corporations Act. It involves calculating the number of voting shares in the company in which the person and the person’s “associates” (as defined in Division 2 of Part 1.2 of the Corporations Act) have a relevant interest.

A person (“second person”) will be an “associate” of the other person (“first person”) if:

  • (i) that first person is a body corporate and the second person is:

  • (A) a body corporate the first person controls;

  • (B) a body corporate that controls the first person; or

9

  - (C) a body corporate that is controlled by an entity that controls the person;
  • (ii) the second person has entered or proposes to enter into a relevant agreement with the first person for the purposes of controlling or influencing the composition of the company’s board or the conduct of the company’s affairs; or

  • (iii) the second person is a person with whom the first person is acting or proposed to act, in concert in relation to the company’s affairs.

  • (b) Exception to the section 606 prohibition

There are various exceptions to the prohibition in section 606. Section 611 contains a table setting out circumstances in the acquisitions of relevant interests are exempt from the prohibition. Item 9 of this table provides an exemption where: (a) throughout the 6 months before the acquisition a party held voting power of at least 19% and (b) as a result of the acquisition a party referred to in (a) would not have voting power of more than 3% higher than they held 6 months before the acquisition.

Tembo Capital held 24.73% of the issued Capital of the Company 6 months prior to the date of this General Meeting. After the shares the subject of this resolution are issued, Tembo Capital will hold 27.32% of the Issued Capital of the Company.

3.3 Regulatory Requirements

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the allotment and issue of up to 44,254,556 Shares to Tembo Capital, or its nominee, as part of Tranche 2.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that without Shareholder approval, a company must not issue or agree to issue new equity securities constituting more than 15% of its total issued capital within a 12 month period (excluding any issue of equity securities approved by Shareholders and other various permitted exceptions which are not relevant for current purposes).
