CLEANSING NOTICE
Issued under section 708(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (as inserted by ASIC Class Order [CO 10/322])
1 Summary
This Cleansing Notice has been prepared for the purposes of section 708(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (as inserted by ASIC Class Order [CO 10/322]) to enable fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Torian Resources NL (“Torian”) to be issued on conversion of a convertible note issued by Torian to La Jolla Cove Investors Inc. (La Jolla) to be on‐sold to retail investors.
This Cleansing Notice is important and should be read in its entirety.
2 The effect of the issue of the Note on Torian
2.1 Background
On 31 August 2011, Torian and La Jolla entered into the Funding Agreement pursuant to which Torian agreed to issue, and La Jolla agreed to acquire, up to 3 convertible notes (Notes), each with a purchase price (or face value) of US$1,500,000 (Purchase Price).
This Cleansing Notice relates to the issue of the first Note.
An outline of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Note is provided in Section 3 of this Cleansing Notice, whilst a summary of some of the key terms of the Funding Agreement is provided in section 5.
2.2 La Jolla Cove Investors Inc.
Founded in 1995, La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. is a private investment firm that has entered into more than $400 million in financing agreements with publicly traded companies since its inception. The firm has extensive experience with ASX traded companies, partnering with more than a dozen in the past two and a half years across a wide variety of industries. The professionals at La Jolla Cove seek partnerships with businesses looking for capital to implement their strategic growth initiatives. La Jolla’s expertise lies in creating flexible financial structures which enable a company to grow without impacting working capital needs while simultaneously adding value through interaction with management teams. Past collaborative efforts have included development and refinement of strategic plans, recruitment of new Directors with specific skills required to help companies reach the ‘next level’ of development, M&A consideration and execution, and searches for investor relation firms best suited to reach appropriate U.S. investors.
2.3 Use of proceeds
The Note to be issued by Torian will raise US$1,500,000 (less the expenses associated with the issue of the Note). Torian will use the net proceeds from the issue of the Note for project development, working capital and business expansion purposes.
2.4 The issue of the Note
Under the Funding Agreement, Torian and La Jolla have agreed that the issue of the Notes will be sequential. In each case, the obligation of La Jolla to subscribe for, and Torian to issue, a Note will arise only following the satisfaction of certain conditions:
Unless the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion waives in writing all or any of the following conditions, the following conditions must be satisfied on the Initial Closing Date before the Company shall have any obligation to issue the Initial Note.
-
(a) The representations and warranties of the Investors made as at the Initial Closing Date must be accurate.
-
(b) There shall not be in effect any law or order, ruling, judgment or writ of any court or public or governmental authority restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
-
(c) The purchase of the Initial Note is conditional on the Company obtaining all the necessary approval requirements under Australian law, including approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 required for the issuance of the Initial Note and any conversion of the Initial Note by Investor.
At the date of this Cleansing Notice, Torian has satisfied each of the relevant conditions (which are summarised in section 5.1) capable of satisfaction for the issue of the first Note and La Jolla will subscribe for, and Torian will issue, the first Note to La Jolla on the date of, or the day following, the date of this Cleansing Notice (Issue Date).
2.5 The payment of the Purchase Price of the Note
The payment of the Purchase Price of the first Note will be made by La Jolla in instalments, in the following manner:
(a) on the issue date of the Note, La Jolla will pay to Torian US$450,000 (Initial Payment); and
(b) Following delivery of the Initial Payment to the Company, and subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in clause 5.1 below, the Investor shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price in relation to the Initial Note in the following manner:
-
(d) Each month, commencing with a monthly period that commences not more than thirty (30) days after the Initial Closing Date, with such date to be determined by Investor in its sole and absolute discretion (each date, a Payment Date ), the Investor shall transfer an amount not less than $200,000 (or such lesser amount that equals the remaining amount of the Purchase Price to be paid by Investor) in immediately available funds to the Company by electronic transfer until the entire Purchase Price for the Initial Note has been paid by the Investor (the Monthly Payment ).
-
(e) The Monthly Payment shall increase to $250,000, so long as the price of Ordinary Shares on the Payment Date is between AU$0.009 to AU$0.015; and to $300,000 so long as the price of Ordinary Shares on the Payment Date is equal to AU$0.016 or higher.
-
(f) The Company may elect, by written notice given to the Investor at least five (5) Business Days prior to a Payment Date, to obtain a one‐time Monthly Payment of $300,000.
-
(g) The Investor may determine in its absolute discretion, the amount, if any, in excess of the Monthly Payment to be transferred to the Company at each Payment Date.
2.7 Effect of the issue on share structure
The current issued capital of Torian (before the issue of the first Note) is 2,520,358,103 ordinary shares.
As noted in section 2.6, the number of new Shares to be issued to La Jolla (if any) will depend on whether the Note is converted in whole or in part and the applicable Conversion Price (see clause 3.8).
By way of two examples:
(a) if only the Initial Payment of the Note (US$450,000, or A$424,528 at an exchange rate of US$1.06 to A$1.00) is converted at a time when the relevant Volume Weighted Average Share Price (VWAP) is $0.006 (which was the lowest VWAP price for the 21 trading days prior to the notification of the Funding Agreement) and therefore the Conversion Price is 85% of this amount (see clause 3.8), being $0.0051, then 83,240,784 new Shares would be issued to La Jolla ; or
(b) if the Note is converted in whole (US$1,500,000, or A$1,415,094 at an exchange rate of US$1.06 to A$1.00) at a time when the relevant Volume Weighted Average Share Price is $0.008 and therefore the Conversion Price is 85% of this amount (see clause 3.8), being $0.0068, then 208,102,059 new Shares would be issued to La Jolla.
Based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Cleansing Notice, the issue of:
(a) 83,240,784 new Shares to La Jolla (per example (a) above) would give La Jolla a relevant interest in approximately 3.2% of the expanded total number of Shares; and
(b) 208,102,059 new Shares to La Jolla (per example (b) above) would give La Jolla a relevant interest in approximately 7.63% of the expanded total number of Shares.
It is, however, important to note that these examples are an illustration only based on partial and full conversion of the Note and the example Volume Weighted Average Share Price referred to above. The actual outcome, if La Jolla elects to convert the Note in whole or in part, will depend on that election and the Conversion Price.
Example (a) – effect of conversion on share structure:
| Shareholder | Number of Shares | Percentage of total shareholding |
|---|---|---|
| ExistingShareholders | 2,520,358,103 | 96.8% |
| La Jolla | 83,240,784 | 3.2% |
| Total | 2,603,598,887 | 100% |
Example (b) – effect of conversion on share structure:
| Shareholder | Number of Shares | Percentage of total shareholding |
|---|---|---|
| ExistingShareholders | 2,520,358,103 | 92.37% |
| La Jolla | 208,102,059 | 7.63% |
| Total | 2,728,460,162 | 100% |

3 Rights and liabilities attached to the Note
A summary of the key terms of the Note are set out below.
3.1 Purchase Price
The Issue Price of the Note is US$1,500,000.
3.2 Payment of the Purchase Price
The payment of the Purchase Price of the Note will be made by La Jolla in instalments in the manner set out in section 2.5.
3.3 Interest
Interest is payable on the Principal Amount at the rate of 4.75% per annum monthly in arrears in cash or, at the option of Torian, in new Shares issued at the then applicable Conversion Price.
3.4 Maturity Date
The maturity date of the Note is the date which is 3 years from the Issue Date (Maturity Date).
3.5 Security
The Note is unsecured, and the Principal Amount ranks for repayment behind all secured debts owed by Torian and equally with all other unsecured debts owed by Torian.
3.6 Conversion
La Jolla may convert the Note, either in whole or in part, by the delivery to Torian of a Conversion Notice.
The delivery of a Conversion Notice will constitute a contract between La Jolla and Torian, whereby La Jolla will be deemed to have subscribed for the number of new Shares which it will be entitled to receive on conversion of the Note pursuant to the Conversion Notice.
3.7 Torian's Prepayment Right
Torian may not make any prepayments without the consent of La Jolla or as described below.
If La Jolla elects to convert the Note in whole or in part and, on the day that the election is made, the Volume Weighted Average Price per Ordinary Share is below AU$0.004 (the Floor Price ), the Company shall have the right, by 3:00 p.m. Sydney time on the date that is two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such Conversion Notice, or such sooner time as agreed to by the Company (the Prepayment Expiration Time ), to prepay that portion of the Note that Investor elected to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at one hundred five percent (105%) of such amount (the Prepayment Right ).
In the event that the Company fails to prepay such portion of the Note by the delivery of such cash prepayment amount to Investor by the Prepayment Expiration Time, the Company shall no longer have the right to prepay such portion of the Note in lieu of honouring the Conversion Notice and shall issue to Investor the applicable Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Conversion Notice under the terms of this Agreement.
In the event that the Company elects to prepay that portion of the Note, the Conversion Notice received by the Company shall be deemed cancelled.
3.8 Conversion Price
The number of Ordinary Shares into which a Note may be converted is equal to the dollar amount of the Note being converted divided by the Conversion Price.
The Conversion Price for the Notes shall be equal (subject to adjustment in accordance with clause 3.11 below) to the lesser of:
(i) AU$0.04 (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalisations or the like); or
(ii) 85% of the average of the three (3) lowest Volume Weighted Average Prices during the twenty‐one(21) Trading Days prior to Investor’s election to convert(the percentage figure being a Discount Multiplier ).
3.9 Mandatory conversion in the 3 months prior to the Maturity Date
In each of the three months prior to the Maturity Date, the Company may elect to force the Investor to convert one‐third of the then remaining Principal Amount (calculated at the beginning of the first of the three months prior to the Maturity Date, so that the effect of the forced conversion over the last three successive months would be to convert the entire remaining Principal Amount) of a Note due to mature into Ordinary Shares of the Company (the Forced Conversion ), provided however there is not currently occurring, nor has there been, an Event of Default on behalf of the Company.
3.10 Redemption
Unless converted, the Note will be automatically redeemed on the Maturity Date. In these circumstances, the redemption money payable in respect of the Note must be paid to La Jolla on the Maturity Date.
3.11 Reorganisation of capital and adjustment for Fundamental Corporate Change
If Torian, at any time while any Principal Amount of the Note is outstanding, reorganises its issued share capital in any way, the number of new Shares issued to La Jolla on conversion of the Note will be adjusted so that La Jolla neither receives a benefit that Shareholders do not receive nor suffers a disadvantage that the Shareholders do not suffer. However, if a "Fundamental Corporate Change" (e.g. a merger of Torian, the sale of substantially all of the assets and business of Torian, or the transfer of more than 50% of the Shares to a third party) occurs, then Torian must prepay the Note for 120% of the Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest.
3.12 Entitlements
The Note will not carry any entitlement to attend or vote at a general meeting of Shareholders nor any entitlement to participate in any future issues of securities by Torian.
3.13 Transferability
The Note is not transferable unless the transferee is a sophisticated investor and the investor first obtains the written consent of Torian.
3.14 Conversion limits
If the conversion of the Note would cause La Jolla's (or anyone else's) voting power in Torian to increase to more than 20%, then Torian shall have the right to either:
(a) prepay that portion of the Note that La Jolla elected to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest; or (b) extend the delivery date for the conversion until such conversion will not cause La Jolla to exceed 20% of the voting power or until such relevant approvals are obtained; or
(c) extend the Maturity Date for the Note, for a period not to exceed 12 months, in Torian’s sole and absolute discretion.
3.15 ASX listing
The Note will not be quoted on ASX or any other securities exchange. Under the Funding Agreement, Torian is required to apply to ASX for quotation of any new Shares issued on the conversion of the Note within 2 Trading Days of the issue of those new Shares.
4 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares issued on conversion of the Note
The new Shares to be issued to La Jolla on the conversion of the Note will rank equally in all respects with all of the existing Shares. The rights attaching to Shares, including the new Shares to be issued to La Jolla on the conversion of the Note, are set out in the Constitution and, in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and the general law.
The following is a summary of the principal rights attaching to those Shares.
4.1 Voting
Every holder of Shares present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of Shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands and, on a poll, one vote for every Share held by him or her.
4.2 Dividends
The Directors may by resolution either:
(a) declare a dividend and may fix the amount, the time for and method of payment; or
(b) determine a dividend is payable and fix the amount and the time for and method of payment.
All fully paid Shares on which any dividend is declared or paid, are entitled to participate in that dividend equally.
4.3 Transfer of shares
Shares may be transferred, and transfers may be registered, in any manner required or permitted by the ASX Listing Rules or the CS Facility Rules (or corresponding laws or securities exchange rules in any other country) applying in relation to the system. Torian must comply with and give effect to those rules and it may, in accordance with those rules, decline to issue certificates for holdings of Shares.
4.4 Meetings and notice
Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings of Torian and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.
4.5 Issue of further Shares
The Directors may allot, issue or grant options in respect of, further Shares on such terms and conditions as they see fit. However, the Directors must act in accordance with the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and any rights for the time being attached to the Shares.
5 Summary of the key terms of the Funding Agreement
The terms of issue of the Note (and any subsequent notes which may be issued by Torian to La Jolla) are governed by the Funding Agreement.
The key terms of the Funding Agreement are outlined below.
5.1 Conditions precedent to the issue of the Note
Under the Funding Agreement, Torian and La Jolla have agreed that, on the satisfaction of certain conditions, Torian will issue the Note to La Jolla.
The conditions which are required to be satisfied include:
(a) the lodgement of this Cleansing Notice with ASX;
(b) any approvals required for the Note Issue having been obtained, including any approval required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. In this regard the Company must not issue the Note or accept payment of a Monthly Payment if it would cause the Company to exceed the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company considers that acceptance of the Initial Payment will not cause the Company to exceed the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company anticipates that it may require shareholder approval in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to accept other Monthly Payments and therefore the Company will be seeking such shareholder approval at its upcoming general meeting, planned to be held in late October 2011
(c) the representations and warranties made by Torian to La Jolla in the Funding Agreement are confirmed by Torian as being accurate; and
(d) there not having occurred:
(i) any suspension of quotation of the Shares on the ASX for a continuous period of more than 5 trading days; or (ii) a material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity of such magnitude in its effect on, or a material adverse change in, the United States or Australian financial market, as in the reasonable judgement of La Jolla, makes it materially riskier to acquires the Note.
At the date of this Cleansing Notice, Torian has satisfied each of the relevant conditions capable of being satisfied and will issue the Note on the date of this Cleansing Notice.
5.2 Conditions precedent to the making of Monthly Payments in respect of the Note
The obligation on La Jolla to make a Monthly Payment in respect of the Note is also subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions on or before the time the Monthly Payment is to be made. These conditions are basically the same as the conditions that must be satisfied prior to the issue of the Note.
5.3 Representations and warranties made by Torian
The representations and warranties made by Torian to La Jolla in the Funding Agreement include representations and warranties as to, among other things:
(a) Torian being able to enter into the Funding Agreement and perform all of its obligations under the Funding Agreement including the issue of the Note (and the subsequent notes – refer to section 5.4) to La Jolla and the issue of new Shares to La Jolla on the conversion of the Note (and the Subsequent Notes);
(b) Torian having properly and timely filed with the ASX and ASIC all reports and other documents required to be filed with the ASX and ASIC;
(c) Torian being solvent and able to pay all of its debts as and when they fall due;
(d) Torian not being the subject of any actual or threatened litigation that might result in any material adverse change in the business, assets or condition of Torian and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company or its subsidiaries;
(e) there being no fact (other than general economic or industry conditions known to the public generally) that has not been fully disclosed by Torian to ASIC and ASX that reasonably could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, prospects, condition or results of operations of Torian or materially and adversely affect the ability of Torian to perform its obligations under the Funding Agreement;
(f) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (refer to section 5.5); and
- (g) Torian and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to its assets.
5.4 The issue of subsequent notes
La Jolla must make an offer to purchase up to 2 additional convertible notes, each with an issue price of US$1,500,000 (Subsequent Notes). Torian must accept the offer and issue the first Subsequent Note within 10 business days of receipt of the offer notice from La Jolla. For the second Subsequent Note, the Company may accept the offer in its absolute discretion.
