2. PURPOSE OF THE GENERAL MEETING
The General Meeting has been convened for the purpose of considering the Resolutions, which are set out in the Notice of General Meeting and explained in more detail below.
3. RESOLUTION 1: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES – CONVERTIBLE NOTES
3.1 Background
On 28 June 2019, the Company announced a capital raising of up to $4 million in convertible notes ( Convertible Notes ) to accelerate exploration and continuing development of the Graphmada Graphite Mine ( Convertible Note Placement ).
The initial tranche of the Convertible Note Placement was completed on 28 June 2019 with subscriptions of $1.4 million received from cornerstone investors for the issue of 176,250,000 Convertible Notes ( Tranche 1 ). The Tranche 1 Convertible Notes were issued under Listing Rule 7.1.
The purpose of Resolution 1 is to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to approve and ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes issued under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.2 Principle terms of the Convertible Notes
The principle terms of the Convertible Notes are as follows:
Issue amount : Up to $4 million
Issue price : Face value of $0.008 per Convertible Note
Interest rate : 15% per annum
Interest payments : Interest to be paid half yearly in arrears and may be paid at the Company's election in cash or by the issue of further convertible notes issued at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the Convertible Notes ( Interest Convertible Notes )
Maturity date: The Convertible Notes have a maturity date of 15 June 2021.
Conversion Terms : Convertible at any time at the Convertible Note holder's election into one ordinary Share subject to the usual adjustment mechanisms in certain circumstances.
HFWPER\935659-1 HFWPER\951757-1
Security: The Convertible Notes will be secured over the assets of the Company.
3.3 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.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 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.
3.4 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to shareholders in relation to the issue of Convertible Notes:
- (a) Number of securities issued
The total number of securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1 was 176,250,000 Convertible Notes.
A maximum of 176,250,000 Shares will be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes.
If the Company elects to pay all interest on the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes by the issue of further convertible notes, rather than cash, a maximum of 61,220,623 Interest Convertible Notes will be issued. If those Interest Convertible Notes are converted, a maximum of 61,220,623 Shares will be issued.
- (b) Issue price
The Convertible Notes were issued for $0.008 per Convertible Note.
- (c) Terms of the securities
The Convertible Notes each have a face value of $0.008 and a maturity date of 15 June 2021. A summary of the terms of the Convertible Notes is included at section 3.2.
- (d) Name of person to whom securities were issued
The securities were issued to cornerstone investors who are professional and sophisticated investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company.
- (e) The use (or intended use) of the funds raised

-
(ii)
- sustaining capex and continued stage 2 production expansion works;
-
(iii) general working capital; and

3.5 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 1.

6. RESOLUTIONS 4, 5 and 6: APPROVAL FOR DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN CONVERTIBLE NOTE PLACEMENT
6.1 Background
As announced to the ASX on 28 June 2019, subject to shareholder approval, the Directors committed to subscribe for up to $85,000 in Convertible Notes under the Convertible Note Placement. Background information in relation to the Convertible Note Placement is set out at section 3.1 above.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 10,625,000 Convertible Notes in total to the current directors, being Messrs Anthon, Wright and Marvin (or their nominees) arising from their proposed participation in the issue (on the same terms as other investors).
6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company must:
-
(a) Obtain the approval of the public company's shareholders in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) Give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
Participation in the Placement will result in the issue of Convertible Notes which constitutes giving a financial benefit.
HFWPER\935659-1 HFWPER\951757-1
Messrs Anthon Wright and Marvin are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors (other than Mr Anthon who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 4 because the Convertible Notes will be issued to Mr Anthon on the same terms as Convertible Notes issued to non-related party participants in the Convertible Note issue.
The Directors (other than Mr Wright who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 5 because the Convertible Notes will be issued to Mr Wright on the same terms as Convertible Notes issued to non-related party participants in the Convertible Note issue.
The Directors (other than Mr Marvin who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 6 because the Convertible Notes will be issued to Mr Marvin on the same terms as Convertible Notes issued to non-related party participants in the Convertible Note issue.
6.3 Listing Rules
Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As participation involves the issue of Convertible Notes to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view if the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
6.4 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to shareholders in relation to the proposed issue of Securities to Directors under the Placement:

6.5 Additional information
If the Company elects to pay all interest on the Convertible Notes proposed to be issued under Resolutions, 4, 5 and 6 by the issue of further convertible notes, rather than cash, then subject to further shareholder approval, a maximum of 3,690,605 Interest Convertible Notes will be issued. If those Interest Convertible Notes are converted, a maximum of 3,690,605 Shares will be issued.
