It does not bind the Company or Directors, although Directors will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.
RESOLUTION 5: APPROVAL OF THE ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY UNDER LISTING RULE 7.
General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15*% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its Annual General Meeting to increase this 15% limit by an additional 10% to total 25% ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ).
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes as its market capitalisation as at 21 October 2021 was approximately $1.9 million.
Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2
The effect of passing Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to a combined limit of 25% pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval. If Resolution 5 is passed the Company will be permitted to issue Equity Securities up to additional 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the Additional 10%
Placement Capacity during the period up to a maximum of 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the Resolution must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Listing Rule 7.3A.1: A statement of the period for which the approval will be valid.
An approval under this rule 7.1A commences on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first of the following to occur:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or
-
the time and date of the approval by ordinary shareholders of a significant change to the Company’s activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
Listing Rule 7.3A.2: A statement of the minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under rule 7.1A.2.
Any equity securities issued under rule 7.1A.2 must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity’s equity securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighed average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
- the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or
• if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date above, the date on which the securities are issued.
Equity securities that may be issued under listing rule 7.1A will only be in an existing quoted class of securities.
Listing Rule 7.3A.3: A statement of the purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities under rule 7.1A.2 may be used.
The Company may only issue equity securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration to raise funds for the development of the Company’s existing assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including assets associated with such acquisition), to repay debt or to fund working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity.
Listing Rule 7.3A.4: the company would like to remind all shareholders the risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary security holders that may result from an issue of equity securities under rule 7.1A.2 including the risk that:
The issue of equity securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity may result in voting dilution of existing ordinary shareholders (as shown in the table below). There is also the risk that:
• the market price for equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
• the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.
Table 1 below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 on the basis of the last sale price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities quoted on ASX for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
(i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting;
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% against the last sale price of $0.019; and
(iii) a way of further example where the issue price of ordinary securities is $0.075.

The above table is based on the following assumptions:
-
The number of shares on issue (Variable “A”) is calculated as 101,622,227 being all the fully paid ordinary shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.
-
The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the Additional Placement Capacity.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
The table shows only the issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity and not under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity includes only Shares.
-
The issue price of $0.019 was the closing price of shares on ASX on 16 August 2019.
-
The issue price of $0.075 is shown by way of example only.
Listing Rule 7.3A.5: Details of the eligible entity’s allocation policy for issues under rule 7.1A.2.
The Company’s allocation policy for issues under the Additional Placement Capacity is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of the equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
the purpose of the issue;
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including rights issues or other issues in which existing shareholders may participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from the Company’s advisors.
-
the Company has not issued any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the past 12 months preceding the date of the AGM.
-
the number of issues it intends to make under the mandate and the time frame over which they will be made
The Company confirms that no equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 have been issued or agreed to be issued in the 12 months preceding and at the time of dispatching the Notice of Meeting.
As the Company has no current plans to undertake a new capital raising using its additional 10% placement capacity, the allottees under the Additional Placement Capacity have not yet been determined but if such an exercise was undertaken, allottees may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
RESOLUTION 6: APPROVAL FOR REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION
The Company wishes to repeal its current constitution and adopt the constitution set out in the Annexure to this Explanatory Statement.
The Board is proposing to change the Company’s constitution to take into account changes to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) since the constitution was last amended in 2001.
The new constitution includes the provisions in Appendix 15A to the ASX Listing Rules ensuring that it meets the constitution requirements for admission to the official list of the ASX.
The material provisions of the new constitution, and material differences from the existing constitution, are described below:-
-
Subject to any rights or restrictions attaching to shares or a class of shares, every shareholder present at a general meeting (or proxy, attorney, or corporate representative) has one vote on a show of hands and one vote per share on a poll.
-
The Company’s directors may determine whether to declare a dividend, and the amount, time for payment and manner of payment of the dividend.
Subject to the constitution, and to any rights or restrictions attaching to a share or class of shares, dividends on shares are to be paid in proportion to the number of shares held by members.
-
A liquidator may, with a sanction of a special resolution of shareholder, divide among the holders of shares any surplus assets on a winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held by members.
-
Without prejudice to any special right conferred on a holder of a share or class of shares, the directors may issue, grant options for, or otherwise dispose of, shares in the Company as the directors think fit.
-
Subject to any restrictions on shares and any other rules imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), shares are freely transferrable. The ASX listing rules and the constitution require that the board refuse to register a transfer of shares if it relates to shares which are subject to escrow requirements.
The new constitution contains new provisions in relation to restricted securities to align with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.
• There is no procedure for the variation of class rights in the new constitution, unlike the existing constitution. Any variation of class rights will follow the procedure set out in section 246B of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). This procedure requires both a special resolution of the members of the Company as a whole, and a separate special resolution of the members of the class whose rights are being varied.
-
A director may call a meeting of shareholders. Annual meetings and meetings requested by shareholders are called and arranged in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
The new constitution has been updated to include provisions relating to using virtual meeting technology and provision of electronic notices.
- Directors may be appointed by the board, but any such appointment must be ratified by members at the next general meeting of the Company. At each annual general meeting, subject to the ASX Listing Rules, any director who has held the office past the third annual general meeting, or three years since that director’s last election (or re-election), whichever longer, must retire. Retiring directors are eligible for re-election.
Provided that, at all times, there are more than three directors in office, the shareholders may remove a director from the board by passing a special resolution.
-
Subject to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the constitution, the directors shall exercise all of the general power of management of the Company. Two directors (or a director and company secretary) may execute documents on behalf of the Company. Documents may be electronically signed subject to the constitution and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
-
Directors make decisions at a meeting based on a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson has a casting vote unless only 2 directors competent to vote on the proposed resolution are present at the meeting.
-
Subject to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and other relevant laws the Company indemnifies its directors against liability for an act or omission made by the director in their capacity as an officer of the Company.
-
Directors are entitled to remuneration for their services as directors as determined by the directors. However, the ASX Listing Rules require shareholder approval for an increase in the aggregate remuneration allocated to non-executive directors. Director remuneration must not include a commission on, or percentage of, operating revenue.
-
The new constitution no longer references the Corporations (New South Wales) Act 1990 and SCH Business Rules, both of which are no longer relevant.
The Company’s existing constitution is available for inspection upon request by the shareholders of the Company.
If this Resolution 6 is passed then the new constitution will be adopted as the constitution of the Company.
If this Resolution 6 is not passed then the existing constitution will remain the constitution of the Company, including the references to repealed legislation. The updates to reflect changes to the ASX Listing Rules and recent amendments to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) will not be adopted.
A special resolution of the Company’s shareholders is required for Resolution 6 to be passed.
