1. Share Purchase Plan
Background
As announced to ASX on Friday 22 June 2018, the Company proposes to carry out a Share Purchase Plan pursuant to which up to 40,000,000 Shares are to be offered at an issue price of 7 cents per Share to eligible shareholders, who may each subscribe for no more than $15,000 worth of Shares ( SPP ).
The SPP is being undertaken in accordance with the requirements of ASIC Class Order 09/425 ( CO 09/425 ) and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 15, which imposes the following limits on the number and price of shares that can be issued under a share purchase plan.
-
The number of shares to be issued must be no greater than 30% of the number of fully paid ordinary shares already on issue.
-
The issue price must be at least 80% of the volume weighted average price of the market price of the shares calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the shares were recorded before either the day on which the issue was announced, or the day on which the issue is made.
The SPP complies with these requirements, and accordingly the offer of Shares to entitled shareholders under the SPP does not require shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of any shares to an underwriter of a share purchase plan, however, does not benefit from this exception from Listing Rule 7.1.
Partial underwriting
The Company’s Managing Director and CEO, Dr Rajen Manicka, and non-executive director, Mr Chan Heng Fai, have each entered into a separate Underwriting Agreement with the Company in respect of a portion of any Shortfall under the SPP. They have each agreed to take up Shortfall Shares subject to their percentage holdings in the Company following the issue of all shares under the SPP (including to the Underwriters) not exceeding:
-
(a) 43.16%, in the case of Dr Manicka ( RM Underwritten Shares ), and
-
(b) 24.53%, in the case of Mr Chan ( CHF Underwritten Shares ).
The reasons for these percentage limits are explained further below.
The issue of the Underwritten Shares to Dr Manicka and Mr Chan requires shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11, as each of them is a Related Party of the Company by reason of being a director.
Dr Manicka currently holds 73,914,400 Shares, which represents approximately 38.79% of the total number of Shares currently on issue. He has held this number of Shares for over a year, and until 9 February 2018 this represented 40.16% of the total number of Shares on issue. Dr Manicka also holds 9,000,000 Performance Rights in four classes.
Mr Chan currently holds 45,145,101 Shares, which represents approximately 23.69% of the total number of Shares currently on issue. He has held this number of Shares since 5
5
October 2017, and until 9 February 2018 this number represented 24.53% of the total number of Shares on issue.
The SPP does not have a minimum subscription condition and is not conditional on the issue of the Underwritten Shares being approved.
Underwriting Agreements
The Company has entered into separate Underwriting Agreements with Dr Manicka and Mr Chan. The Underwriting Agreements are not inter-conditional, and neither Underwriter assumes any obligations in respect of the Shortfall Shares underwritten by the other Underwriter. The obligation of each Underwriter to perform under their respective Underwriting Agreements is also not affected by whether the other Underwriter performs under their Agreement.
Apart from the number of Shortfall Shares that each Underwriter has agreed to take up, the material terms of the Underwriting Agreements are identical.
-
The Underwriter under the RM Underwriting Agreement is Dr Rajen Manicka and the underwriter under the CHF Underwriting Agreement is Mr Chan Heng Fai.
-
The number of Underwritten Shares is:
-
under the RM Underwriting Agreement, that number of Shortfall Shares such that following the issue of all Shares under the SPP (including to the Underwriters) the percentage holding of Dr Manicka is no greater than 43.16% ( RM Underwritten Shares ); and
-
under the CHF Underwriting Agreement, that number of Shortfall Shares such that following the issue of all Shares under the SPP (including to the Underwriters) the percentage holding of Mr Chan is no greater than 24.53% ( CHF Underwritten Shares ).
-
Each Underwriter will only be obliged to apply for the relevant Underwritten Shares in the event that there is a shortfall under the SPP.
-
If the amount of the Shortfall is less than 36,592,407 Shares (the highest possible total number of RM Underwritten Shares and CHF Underwritten Shares that could be issued consistently with the relevant percentage limits applicable to each Underwriter not being exceeded), each Underwriter will still be obliged to apply for Shortfall Shares. The number of Shortfall Shares issued to each Underwriter will be reduced proportionately between them.
• The Underwriters may set off amounts due and owing to them by the Company in respect of accrued and unpaid directors fees, and an interest free loan made by Dr Manicka to the Company against their Underwriting commitments. As at the date of this Notice, an amount of $362,661 is due and owing to Dr Manicka, and an amount of $75,710 is due and owing to Mr Chan.
• The Company must notify the Underwriter of the Shortfall by the Shortfall Notice Deadline Date 3 business days after the SPP Closing Date.
-
The Underwriters must apply for and pay for the Underwritten Shortfall Shares by no later than the Shortfall Settlement Date, 5 business days after the SPP Closing Date.
-
The Underwriters will not be paid any fee or commission under the Underwriting Agreements.
6
- The Underwriting Agreements are subject to the usual Termination Events, including where the ASX All Ordinaries Index or S&P/ASX300 Index falls by 10% or more from its position immediately prior to the date of the SPP Offer, or if there is a material adverse change in relation to the financial position, prospects or operations of the Company. The Underwriting Agreements are otherwise on normal terms and conditions for such agreements.
2. Limitation on number of Shares to be issued to the Underwriters
Neither Underwriter can be issued Shares that would cause that Underwriter’s relevant interest in voting securities of the Company to increase above a level permitted by the takeover provisions in Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act. Dr Manicka and Mr Chan each currently have a holding of more than 20% in the Company’s voting securities. Under item 9 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, a person who has a relevant interest in over 20%, but less than 90%, of the voting securities of a listed company can, without obtaining prior shareholder approval, acquire further relevant interests in voting securities that would increase their holding by no more than 3% above the percentage that they held 6 months before that acquisition (the “ 3% creep rule ”). The number of Shortfall Shares that each Underwriter can be issued is limited by this constraint.
In the case of Mr Chan, he has recently lodged in connection with a transaction in the USA certain filings regarding his holdings in listed companies. He is not able to increase his percentage interest in the Company beyond the percentage interest disclosed in those filings (which in the case of the Company was 24.53%) during the currency of those filings. Accordingly, the number of Shares that Mr Chan can subscribe for pursuant to the CHF Underwriting Agreement is subject to this additional constraint.
3. Timetable
The proposed timetable for carrying out the SPP, and obtaining shareholder approval for the issue of the Underwritten SPP Shares, is as follows.

Note: The above dates are indicative. Subject to the Corporations Act, CO 09/425 and the Listing Rules, the Company and the Underwriters may agree in writing to vary the above dates in respect of the SPP. The Meeting may be postponed or adjourned in accordance with the Company’s Constitution.
4. Section 208 of the Corporations Act
Under section 208 of the Corporations Act, if a public company gives a financial benefit to a related party, it must obtain shareholder approval in accordance with the requirements of sections 217 to 219 of the Corporations Act, unless an exception applies. The issue of securities to a related party would fall within the definition of giving a financial benefit, and Dr Manicka and Mr Chan are both related parties of the Company, as they are both directors.
In section 210 of the Corporations Act there is an exception from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval where the financial benefit is given to the related party on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing on arm’s length terms, or are less favourable than such terms.
The Company has determined that the terms of the Underwriting Agreements are no more favourable to the Underwriters than could have been obtained from an arm’s length third party underwriter. Neither Dr Manicka nor Mr Chan is charging any fees or entitled to any commission in respect of the Shortfall Shares they are underwriting. The Company would have expected an arm’s length third party underwriter to have charged a fee or commission to underwrite a similar portion of the Share Purchase Plan.
5. Directors’ recommendations
Mr Daniel O’Connor, who is the only director who does not have a personal interest in the proposed Underwriting of the SPP, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
While Dr Manicka and Mr Chan have each entered into a separate Underwriting Agreement with the Company (which agreements are not inter-conditional), and they are not jointly underwriting the SPP or otherwise acting in concert in relation to the SPP or its underwriting, because they are the only proposed underwriters, Dr Manicka and Mr Chan each consider that it would not be appropriate to make a recommendation in respect of the resolution applicable to the other Director.
6. Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, prior approval of holders of ordinary securities is required for an issue of equity securities by a listed company if those securities, when aggregated with the equity securities issued by the company without approval and which were not subject to an exception during the previous 12 months, exceed
8
15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that where shareholders of a listed company approve an issue of equity securities, the company’s 15% capacity will be replenished and the company will be able to issue further securities up to that limit.
Under Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, an issue of equity securities made with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is an exception from Listing Rule 7.1, and approval does not have to be given under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the RM Underwritten Shares and the CHF Underwritten Shares, respectively, under Listing Rule 10.11. If either or both of those Resolutions are approved, the issue of the relevant Shares will accordingly not diminish the capacity of the Company to issue equity securities in the next 12 months under Listing Rule 7.1.
7. Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not issue equity securities to a related party without the approval of holders of ordinary securities. As set out above, the Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 228 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of shares to a related party pursuant to their participation in a share purchase plan that complies with CO09/425 (i.e., the related party subscribing for up to $15,000 worth of ordinary securities on the same basis as any other shareholder entitled to participate in the plan) does not require shareholder approval, under exception 7 in Listing Rule 10.12; but this exception does not extend to the issue to a related party of any securities pursuant to an underwriting of a share purchase plan. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11 to permit the issue of the RM Underwritten Shares to Dr Rajen Manicka and the CHF Underwritten Shares to Mr Chan Heng Fai.
8. Resolution 1 – Issue of RM Underwritten Shares to Dr Rajen Manicka
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1.
(a) Names of the persons
The Shares will be issued to Dr Rajen Manicka (and/or his nominees).
(b) Maximum number of securities to be issued
The number of the RM Underwritten Shares will be the maximum number that can be issued to Dr Manicka such that following the issue of all Shares pursuant to the SPP (including to the Underwriters) his percentage holding in the Company will be no greater than 43.16%. The maximum number of RM Underwritten Shares is 25,386,270 Shares, depending on the take-up of SPP entitlements. This has been calculated based on the following.
-
The total number of Shares being offered under the SPP is 40,000,000 Shares, which is equivalent to 20.1% of the Company’s issued capital immediately before announcement of the SPP. The SPP is only partly underwritten by Dr Manicka and Mr Chan.
-
In accordance with section 606 and item 9 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, Dr Manicka, as holder of a relevant interest in at least 20% of the Company’s voting securities, cannot acquire any more Shares than would cause his voting power to increase by more than 3% above its level as at the date 6 months before the date of the acquisition. Dr Manicka held 73,914,400 shares as at 7 February 2018, the date which was 6 months
9
before the proposed date of the acquisition constituted by the issue of the RM Underwritten Shares. That number of Shares represented a holding of relevant interests in 40.16% of the voting securities of the Company at that time. Dr Manicka is therefore allowed to increase his percentage holding by 7 August 2018 to no more than 43.16% consistently with the “3% creep rule”.
(i) Maximum shortfall, both RM Underwritten Shares and CHF Underwritten Shares issued
• In the event that no shareholders other than Dr Manicka and Mr Chan were to take up their entitlements under the SPP, and only the Underwritten Shares (i.e., both the RM Underwritten Shares and the CHF Underwritten Shares) were issued, the total number of Shares on issue would be 221,247,110. 43.16% of 221,247,110 is 95,495,232. Accordingly, to ensure that Dr Manicka does not increase his holding to more than 43.16% of the post-SPP number of Shares in these circumstances, the number of Shares that can be issued to Dr Manicka as RM Underwritten Shares in this scenario is 21,380,832.
| Current Holding |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dr Manicka | 73,914,400 | 38.79 | 200,000 | 21,380,832 | 95,495,232 | 43.16 |
| Mr Chan | 45,145,101 | 23.69 | 200,000 | 8,927,191 | 54,272,292 | 24.53 |

| Total | 190,539,087 | 100 | 400,000 | 30,308,023 | 221,247,110 | 100 |
(ii) Highest possible number of RM Underwritten Shares
• The scenario in which the largest number of Shares can be issued to Dr Manicka without increasing his percentage holding beyond 43.16% is where the number of Shortfall Shares is 36,592,407 (i.e., approximately 91.5% shortfall), and both Dr Manicka and Mr Chan take up their full amounts under their Underwriting Agreements. In that scenario, the total number of Shares on issue would be 230,539,087, and Dr Manicka could be issued 25,386,270 Shares as RM Underwritten Shares to take his percentage holding to 43.16%.
| Current Holding |

| Dr Manicka | 73,914,400 | 38.79 | 200,000 | 25,386,270 | 99,500,670 | 43.16 |
| Mr Chan | 45,145,101 | 23.69 | 200,000 | 11,206,137 | 56,551,238 | 24.53 |

10
Total 190,539,087 100 3,407,593 36,592,407 230,539,087 100
- Shares issued under the SPP to entitled Shareholders other than Dr Manicka and Mr Chan will cause their holdings to represent a smaller percentage of the post-SPP issued capital. If the number of Shortfall Shares is less than 36,592,407 (the highest possible total of the CHF Underwritten Shares and Manicka Underwritten Shares), then the number of Shortfall Shares to be issued to each of the Underwriters will be reduced.
(c) Date by which the entity will issue the securities
It is anticipated that the Shares will be issued at the same time as all Shares are issued under the SPP in accordance with the Timetable, 6 business days after the Closing Date. In any case the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
(d) Relationship that requires shareholder approval
Dr Rajen Manicka is a director of the Company and therefore a related party of the Company under section 228 of the Corporations Act.
(e) Issue price of the securities
The issue price of the Shares will the same as the issue price of Shares issued under the SPP, being 7 cents per Share.
(f) Terms of the issue
The Shares will be issued on the same terms as all other ordinary fully paid shares in the Company.
(g) Intended use of funds raised
The funds raised from the issue of the Shares will be used for the same purposes as all funds raised under the SPP, being marketing of low GI noodles in China and USA, and product development. As noted above, an amount of $362,661 is due and owing to Dr Manicka and this amount may be set off against Dr Manicka’s underwriting obligations.
9. Resolution 2 – Issue of CHF Underwritten Shares to Mr Chan Heng Fai
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2.
(a) Names of the persons
The Shares will be issued to Mr Chan Heng Fai (and/or his nominees).
(b) Maximum number of securities to be issued
The number of the CHF Underwritten SPP Shares will be the maximum number that can issued to Mr Chan such that following the issue of all Shares pursuant to the SPP (including to the Underwriters) his percentage holding in the Company will be no greater than 24.53%. The maximum number of CHF Underwritten Shares is 11,206,137 Shares. This has been calculated based on the following.
11
-
The maximum number of Shares being issued under the SPP is 40,000,000, which is equivalent to 20.1% of the Company’s issued capital immediately before announcement of the SPP. The SPP is only partly underwritten by Dr Manicka and Mr Chan.
-
In accordance with section 606 and item 9 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, Mr Chan Heng Fai, as holder of a relevant interest in at least 20% of the Company’s voting securities, is subject to the “3% creep” rule.
-
Mr Chan Heng Fai is subject to an additional limitation on the number of shares he can take up under his underwriting of the SPP. Mr Chan has recently lodged certain filings in the USA in relation to a listing transaction, which disclosed his percentage holdings in various companies including HCT. He cannot increase his percentage holding in the Company during the currency of those filings beyond his level disclosed in the filings, which was 24.53%. (Any such increase is also within the “3 creep” limit applicable under the Corporations Act.)
-
(i) Maximum shortfall, both RM Underwritten Shares and CHF Underwritten Shares issued
-
In the event that no shareholders other than Mr Chan and Dr Manicka were to take up their entitlements under the SPP, and only the Underwritten Shares (i.e., both the RM Underwritten Shares and the CHF Underwritten Shares) were issued, the total number of Shares on issue would be 221,247,110. 24.53 % of 221,247,110 is 54,272,292. Accordingly, to ensure that Mr Chan does not increase his holding to more than 24.53% of the postSPP number of Shares in these circumstances, the number of Shares that can be issued as CHF Underwritten Shares in this scenario is 8,927,191.

(ii) Highest possible number of CHF Underwritten Shares
• The scenario in which the largest number of Shares can be issued to Mr Chan without increasing his percentage holding beyond 24.53% is where the number of Shortfall Shares is 36,592,407 (i.e., approximately a 91.5% shortfall), and both Dr Manicka and Mr Chan take up their full amounts under their Underwriting Agreements. In that scenario, the total number of Shares on issue would be 230,539,087, and Mr Chan could be issued 11,206,137 Shares as CHF Underwritten Shares to take his percentage holding to 24.53%.
