Section C Explanatory Memorandum
1. Introduction
This Explanatory Memorandum contains the information needed for the Shareholders to assess the Resolutions to be put to them at the Extraordinary General Meeting of GMN on Tuesday 11 October 2016. A Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting accompanies this Explanatory Memorandum.
This Explanatory Memorandum, as well as the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting, should be read carefully and in their entirety.
2. Resolution 1 – Past issue of Shares
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided regarding ASX Listing Rule 7.4 approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not issue equity securities, or agree to issue equity securities (which includes shares and options) without the approval of shareholders if the number of equity securities to be issued in any 12-month period (including equity securities issued on the exercise of any convertible securities) exceeds 15% of the issued capital of the company preceding the issue. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows for subsequent shareholder approval if the company did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue and the holders of ordinary shares subsequently approve it.
During the period commencing 1 March 2016 and ending on 5 September 2016, the Company issued a total of 173,699,285 Shares to various allottees.
The Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of 38,251,926 Shares in the manner provided by ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
Details of these issues are set out in the schedule that is included in this paragraph 2 of this Explanatory Memorandum (Schedule of Past Issues of Shares). None of the allottees is related to the Company.
The Company was not required to provide any of the allottees with a disclosure document.
Although Shareholder approval was not required for the issue of these Shares, the Company now seeks Shareholder approval for these issues in the manner provided by ASX Listing Rule 7.4, because this will enable the Company to issue, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, further equity securities up to the 15% limit from time to time as required by the Company, to capitalise on future opportunities without needing to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
These Shares rank equally with all the other Shares on issue.
Page 10
The amount raised by the issue of Shares for which Shareholder approval is sought is set out in the Schedule of Past Issues of Shares below.
A voting exclusion statement is included in paragraph 2.1 of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting (Section B).

6. Resolution 5 - Issue of securities under the Employee Share Option Plan
6.1 Background
The Company’s Employee Share Option Plan was established in 2011. The Employee Share Option Plan is designed to assist with the attraction, motivation and retention of relevant employees of the Company, align the interests of those employees and shareholders by matching rewards with the long term performance of the Company and, accordingly, drive the Company’s improved performance.
The Company included a summary of the terms of the Employee Share Option Plan in the Company's initial public offering Prospectus dated 23 March 2011 prior to listing on the ASX on 2 September 2011. Accordingly, securities issued under the Employee Share Option Plan until 2 September 2014 were excluded from the Company's 15% capacity in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company obtained the approval of Shareholders for the Employee Share Option Plan under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9 at its annual general meeting on
Page 19
15 December 2014. Accordingly, the Company is permitted to issue securities under the Employee Share Option Plan to employees (except Directors) until 15 December 2017.
The Company now proposes to issue securities under the Employee Share Option Plan to Directors.
Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of:
-
(a) ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9; and
-
(b) ASX Listing Rule 10.14,
to issue Shares and Options under the Employee Share Option Plan to employees (including consultants and Directors) for a period of three years from the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Resolution 5 seeks to refresh Shareholder approval previously obtained under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9 for a further three years so that securities issued pursuant to the Employee Share Option Plan are not included within the limit of 15% of issued shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that can be issued without Shareholder approval.
Resolution 5 also seeks to obtain Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of securities under the Employee Share Option Plan to Directors for a period of three years from the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The Company established the Employee Share Option Plan for a number of purposes and continues to believe that the Employee Share Option Plan is integral to the Company’s financial performance for a number of reasons, including:
-
(a) retaining and incentivising its key personnel;
-
(b) attracting and retaining valued employees essential for the continued growth and development of the Company;
-
(c) establishing a sense of ownership in the Company for the employees;
-
(d) promoting and fostering loyalty and support amongst the employees for the benefit of both the employees and the Company;
-
(e) enhancing the relationship between the Company and its employees for the long term mutual benefit of the parties; and
-
(f) enabling the Company to attract high calibre individuals, who can bring expertise to the Company.
6.2 ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not issue equity securities, or agree to issue equity securities (which includes shares and options) without the approval of shareholders if the number of equity securities to be issued in any 12-month period (including equity securities issued on the exercise of any convertible securities) exceeds 15% of the issued capital of the company preceding the issue, subject to certain
Page 20
adjustments and permitted exceptions. In calculating the 15% limit, the Company is entitled to deduct any ordinary securities issued in the 12 month period that were issued with the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 provides several circumstances where particular issues of securities are excluded from the calculation of the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, including issues under an employee incentive scheme if within three years before the date of issue, Shareholders approved the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Employee Share Option Plan is an employee incentive scheme for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9.
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not permit any director, or an associate of a director, to acquire shares under an employee incentive scheme without first obtaining shareholder approval.
The effect of Shareholder approval under this exception is that any issues of securities under the Employee Share Option Plan are treated as having been made with the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 10.14.
Approval under Listing Rule 7.2, (Exception 9) and Listing Rule 10.14 lasts for three years.
6.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9 disclosure
