  • (b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • (c) a member of the Company entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

EXpLANATORy MEMORANDUM

  • (b) ask questions or make comment on the management of the Company;

  • (c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company’s auditor about:

  • (a) the preparation and the content of the Auditor’s Report;

  • (b) the conduct of the audit;

  • (c) accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company’s registered office.

4. REsOLUTION 1 – REMUNERATION REpORT

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors’ Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. Failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, the Corporations Act has been amended by the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Director and Executive Remuneration Act) which received Royal Assent on 27 June 2011 and came into effect on 1 July 2011.

The Director and Executive Remuneration Act introduced new sections 250U and 250Y, amongst others, into the Corporations Act, giving Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings (Two Strikes Rule).

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors’ Report must stand for re-election.

In summary, if the Remuneration Report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if there is a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at the next annual general meeting the consequences are that it may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorization for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.

5. REsOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR BRETT MITChELL

Article 13.2 of the Constitution requires that one third of all Directors, or if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt) must retire at each annual general meeting.

Article 13.2 of the Constitution states that a Director who retires under article 13.2 is eligible for re-election.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of passing Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without obtaining prior Shareholder approval. Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

EXpLANATORy MEMORANDUM

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 7.2(c) below).

As disclosed in the Company’s announcements to the ASX, the Company continues actively seeking to acquire new resources assets and investments. The Company may use the 10% Placement Facility to acquire new resource assets or investments.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

7.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1 A

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, being Shares.

  • (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) - E

A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (a) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (b) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary securities under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (d) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.

  • Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

  • (d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 3,444,349,218 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3, 516,652,382 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolutions 3 and 4, 344,434,921 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

EXpLANATORy MEMORANDUM

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 7.2(c) above).

  • (e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of the Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP for Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trade in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (f) 10% Placement Period

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • or such longer period is allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period).

7.3

Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

7.4 specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price not less than 75% of the VWAP for Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trade in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The table on page 9 shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities 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:

  • (iii) 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; and

  • (iv) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (ii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (iii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based in that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (iv) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (v) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

  • (vi) The issue price is $0.011, being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 October 2012.

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new resources assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of energy and resources assets or investments (which may include costs associated with due diligence and engagement of advisors in assessing new energy and resource assets) and/or continued exploration on the Company’s existing oil and gas assets in Canada and the United States.

EXpLANATORy MEMORANDUM

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.

  • (e) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the notice.

8. REsOLUTION 5 – ADOpTION OF pERFORMANCE RIGhTs pLAN

8.1 General

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 for the establishment of the Transerv Energy Performance Rights Plan (Performance Rights Plan). The Performance Rights Plan provides for the issuance of performance rights (Performance Rights) which, upon a determination by the Board that the performance conditions attached to the Performance Rights have been met, are convertible into Shares.

The Company wishes to exempt issues of securities under the Performance Rights Plan from contributing towards the rolling annual limit of 15% of issued Shares prescribed by Listing Rule 7.1. This limit otherwise applies to all new issues of equity securities made without Shareholder approval. Shareholder approval of the Performance Rights Plan is therefore sought under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9, whereby the Shareholders may approve in advance the issue of securities made under the plan as an exception to the limit under Listing Rule 7.1.

Further information about the Performance Rights Plan is set out below. A copy of the full terms and conditions of the Performance Rights Plan can be obtained by contacting the Company.

8.2 Reasons for the new performance Rights plan

To achieve its corporate objectives, the Company needs to attract and retain its key staff. The Board believes that grants made to eligible participants under the Performance Rights Plan will provide a powerful tool to underpin the Company’s employment strategy, and that the implementation of the Performance Rights Plan will:

  • (a) enable the Company to recruit and retain the talented people needed to achieve the Company’s business objectives;

  • (b) link the reward of key staff with the achievements of strategic goals and the long term performance of the Company;

  • (c) align the financial interest of participants of the Performance Rights Plan with those of Shareholders; and

  • (d) provide incentives to participants of the Performance Rights Plan to focus on superior performance that creates Shareholder value.

8.3 summary of the performance Rights plan

This section gives a summary of how the Board intends to implement initial participation under the rules of the proposed Performance Rights Plan.

Participation

The Board wishes to issue Performance Rights under the Performance Rights Plan to employees and executive Directors to achieve the objectives outlined above. A Performance Right is a right to be issued a Share upon satisfaction of certain performance conditions that are attached to the Performance Right, as determined by the Board. In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, prior Shareholder approval will be required before any Director or related party of the Company can participate in the Performance Rights Plan.

Performance Conditions

Performance Rights granted under the Performance Rights Plan will be subject to performance conditions as determined by the Board from time to time. These performance conditions must be satisfied in order for the Performance Rights to vest. Upon Performance Rights vesting, Shares will be issued.

The main features of the Performance Rights Plan are:

  • (a) Eligible Participants: The eligible participants under the Performance Rights Plan are employees and executive Directors of the Company determined by the Board to be eligible to receive grants of Performance Rights.

  • (b) Limits on Entitlements: The Performance Rights Plan has a fixed maximum percentage of Shares that may be issued under it. The maximum number of Shares that is issuable under the Performance Rights Plan, when combined with the number of Shares issued during the previous five years pursuant to the Performance Rights Plan or any other employee incentive scheme of the Company; but disregarding any offer made, or Performance Rights acquired or Shares issued by way of or as a result of: (i) an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia; or (ii) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act; or (iii) an offer made under a disclosure document, must not exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares.

  • (c) Issue Price and Exercise Price: The Board shall determine whether an issue price is payable in connection with the grant of a Performance Right. Upon Performance Rights vesting under the Plan, Shares may be issued for no consideration, or the Board may, at the time of grant, in its discretion, specify an exercise price payable for the issuance of Shares as a performance condition attached to a Performance Right.

  • (d) Vesting: The Performance Rights issued under the Performance Rights Plan and the performance conditions that must be satisfied in order for the Performance Rights to vest, at which time the Company is then obliged to issue a specified number of Shares to the participant, are established by the Board and expressed in a written offer (the Offer) made by the Company to each eligible participant which, subject to acceptance by the eligible participant within a specified period, is then subject to re-affirmation by the Board. These may vary between different participants. The performance conditions will be determined by the Board and will include an expiry date and other terms to be set out in the Offer. The Board shall determine whether performance conditions have been met and Performance Rights therefore have vested. Upon Performance Rights becoming vested, the Company shall issue Shares to the participant, without any further action being required on the part of the participant subject to any payment of the exercise price (if any).

  • (e) Term & Lapse: Performance rights have a term as the Board may determine in its absolute discretion and specify in the Offer, and are subject to lapsing if performance conditions are not met by the relevant measurement date or expiry date (if no other measurement date is specified) or if employment is terminated for cause or in circumstances other than as described in the next paragraph.

  • (f) Retirement, Disability, Redundancy or Death: Upon the retirement, disability, redundancy or death of a participant, as defined in the Performance Rights Plan, provided that a participant continues to satisfy any other relevant conditions imposed by the Board at the time of grant, the Performance Rights will vest at the discretion of the Board.

  • (g) Assignment: Without approval of the Board, Performance Rights may not be transferred, assigned or novated, except upon death, a participant’s legal personal representative may elect to be registered as the new holder of such Performance Rights and exercise any rights in respect of them.

  • (h) Takeover Bid or Change of Control: All Performance Rights will vest at the discretion of the Board in the event of (i) a takeover bid (ii) a change of control of the Company, or (iii) approval by the court of a merger by way of scheme of arrangement.
