Director’s Recommendation: the Board abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 4, 5 and 6. The Chair in his capacity as proxy holder intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the Resolutions.
5. RESOLUTION 7: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
5.1 Background
As announced to the ASX on 22 December 2016, the Company issued 175,000,001 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 to sophisticated and other investors to facilitate the revised transaction with Stratmin, which provides the Company the opportunity to reduce its future purchase obligations by a material amount, and allows the Company to continue to progress with its production optimisation plans at the Graphmada graphite mine.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
- 8 -
==> picture [130 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
The purpose of Resolution 7 is for Shareholders to approve and ratify the issue of 175,000,001 Shares. The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 7 and ratifying the issue will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further capital to the maximum 15% limit during the next 12 months and increase the base figure (i.e. variable 'A') in which the Company's 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated, which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without Shareholder approval.
5.2 ASX Listing Rules
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. Issues made under listing rule 7.1A can also be ratified under Listing Rule 7.4.
Shareholder approval was not required under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue by the Company of the 175,000,001 Shares to sophisticated and other investors. However, under Resolution 7, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 175,000,001 Shares, so as to limit the restrictive effect of Listing Rule 7.1 on any further issues of Equity Securities by the Company in the next 12 months.
5.3 Regulatory Requirements
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to shareholders in relation to the issue of Shares:
(a) Number of securities issued
The total number of securities issued was 175,000,001 Shares.
- (b) Issue price
The Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.013 per Share.
- (c) Terms of the securities
The Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with the existing ordinary shares.
(d) Basis upon which persons were issued Shares
The Shares were issued to sophisticated investors as determined by Bizzell Capital, none of whom are related parties of the Company.
(e) The use of the funds raised
A total of $2,275,000 (less costs) was raised from the issue. The funds were used for payments to vendors as part of the Graphmada project acquisition costs and for working capital.
(f) A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 7 is included in the Notice.
5.4 Recommendation
The Directors believe that the ratification of this issue is beneficial for the Company as it will restore the Company's ability to issue further capital to the maximum 15% limit during the next 12 months and increase the base figure (i.e. variable 'A') in which the Company's 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated, which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
