EXPLANATORY STATEM ENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at http://www.tripleenergy.net.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2
Voting consequences
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
10
2974-03/1337003_1
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
2.3
Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
2.4 Proxy voting restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
| Proxy | Directions given | No directions given |
|---|---|---|
| Key Management Personnel1 | Vote as directed | Unable to vote3 |
| Chair2 | Vote as directed | Able to vote at discretion of Proxy4 |
| Other | Vote as directed | Able to vote at discretion of Proxy |
Notes:
1 Refers to Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member.
2 Refers to the Chair (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report), or a Closely Related Party of such a member).
3 Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
3.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
If Shareholders approve Resolution 2, 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 3.2 below).
The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 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 2 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 2 for it to be passed.
11
2974-03/1337003_1
3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $7,930,587.
Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has 2 classes of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: TNP) and Options.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
D
is 10%.
- E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
12
2974-03/1337003_1
3.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 2:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades 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 ASX trading days of the date in section 3.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),
( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
(c)
Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 2 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table 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 current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

Funds Raised |
$793,059 | $1,586,117 | $2,379,176 |
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 1,132,940,941 Shares on issue comprising:
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 13 July 2015.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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%.
-
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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
14
2974-03/1337003_1
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current Project (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration), and general working capital etc); or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the potential acquisition of 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.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e)
Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

7. RESOLUTIONS 6 TO 9 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES
7.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 71,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Messrs Cheng, Underwood, Chan and Ralston ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.
The purpose of the issue of the Related Party Options (and other proposed option grants to consultants) is as a means of providing a cost-effective and efficient incentive and potential reward for the efforts of the Board and
18
2974-03/1337003_1
Management, recognising that in many cases cash remuneration is below market rates for comparable roles.
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members 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.
The grant of the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit. Messrs Cheng, Underwood, Chan and Ralston are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
In addition, ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties.
7.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Related Party Options:
-
(a) the related parties are Messrs Cheng, Underwood, Chan and Ralston and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

(b) the maximum number of Related Party Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:
-

-
(iii) 20,000,000 Related Party Options to Po Chan; and
-
(iv) 1,000,000 Related Party Option to Garry Ralston.
-
(c) the Related Party Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Options will be issued on one date;
-
(d) the Related Party Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

2 Mr Cheng and Mr Chan are nominees of Blue Sky Power Holdings Ltd (BSP). The BSP Group is a substantial shareholder of the Company and holds 449,666,666 ordinary shares as at the date of this report (39.7%).
3 Consisting of 8,500,000 Shares directly held by Mr Ralston and 3,500,000 Shares held by Wildglade Pty Ltd of which Mr Ralston is a beneficiary.
- (h) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year are set out below:

(i) if the Related Party Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 71,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 1,132,940,941 to 1,203,940,941 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 5.9%, comprising 2.49% by Tommy Cheng, 1.66% by Paul Underwood, 1.66% by Po Chan and 0.09% by Gary Ralston.
20
2974-03/1337003_1
The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | 0.8 cents | 23 June 2015 17 June 2015 11-12 June 2015 28 July 2014 |
| Lowest | 0.3 cents | 6 November 2014 |
| Last | 0.7 cents | 30 June 2015 |
-
(k) the Board acknowledges the grant of Related Party Options to Messrs Tommy Cheng and Garry Ralston is contrary to Recommendation 8.3 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments (2[nd] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of Related Party Options to Messrs Tommy Cheng and Garry Ralston reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph (m);

-
(m) Mr Tommy Cheng declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 due to Mr Cheng’s material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Mr Cheng is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 6 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:
-
(i) the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties, in particular, the vesting conditions of the Related Party Options, will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;
-
(ii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and
21
2974-03/1337003_1
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;
-
(n) Mr Po Chan declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to Mr Chan’s material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Mr Chan is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 7 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 6, 8 and 9, Mr Chan recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m);
-
(o) Mr Paul Underwood declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8 due to Mr Underwood’s material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Mr Underwood is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 8 be passed.

-
(p) Mr Gary Ralston declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 9 due to Mr Ralston’s material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Mr Ralston is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 9 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 6, 7 and 8, Mr Chan recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m);
-
(q) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Related Party, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Related Party Options; and
-
(r) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 6 to 9.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
8. RESOLUTIONS 10 TO 11 - PLACEMENT OF OPTIONS
8.1 General

Notes:
-
Market Price means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.
-
Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ASX Code: TNP (terms are set out in the Constitution).
-
Unquoted Options, exercisable at $0.006 each, on or before 25 October 2015.
-
Performance Shares on terms and conditions approved by Shareholders at a general meeting held on 24 April 2015.
-
This is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.
-
In respect of quoted Equity Securities the value is based on the closing price of the Shares ($insert) on the ASX on the trading day prior to the date of this Notice. In respect of unquoted Equity Securities the value of Options is measured using the Black & Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the Option, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the Option. No account is taken of any performance conditions included in the terms of the Option other than market based performance conditions (i.e. conditions linked to the price of Shares).
