14 May 2014
Dear fellow shareholder
Image has been requested by a small number of shareholders representing some 11.8% of the Company’s capital led by Mr Choon Kong Lim and Mr Denis Ribton ( Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group ) to call a meeting of shareholders to consider resolutions that would see:
-
The removal of the current Board of directors Mr Jon O’Callaghan, Mr Peter Thomas and Mr George Sakalidis ( your Directors )
-
The addition to the Board of Mr Benjamin Donovan and Mr Gavin Fletcher joining with former Managing Director, Mr Peter Davies
Image is required, at its expense, to call a meeting of shareholders to consider these resolutions.
On 14 May 2014, Mr Davies resigned as a director but, had he not, your Directors would have put forward an additional resolution for shareholders to remove Mr Davies. This course of action would have been taken irrespective of the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s actions.
The decision for you as a shareholder is straightforward - either you support your Directors or you support the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group.
We believe you should support your Directors for four key reasons:
-
The Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group nominees don’t have the relevant skills and experience of your Directors
-
The Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s plans are unclear
-
To stop the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group taking control without paying for control
-
Your Directors, in conjunction with their team, are the right people to be running your Company
-
These reasons are discussed below.
THE CHOON KONG LIM/ RIBTON GROUP NOMINEES DON’T HAVE THE RELEVANT SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE OF YOUR DIRECTORS
The first reason why you should support your Directors is because the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group nominees don’t have the skills and experience of your Directors relevant to the running of your Company nor to have control over the development of its North Perth Basin mineral sands project (the NPB Project ).
The Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group proposed that Mr Davies be reappointed Managing Director of the Company supported by the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group nominees.
Mr Davies’ resignation today as a director undermines the key aspect of the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton
Group’s plan.
Your Directors would have called for Mr Davies removal as a director, following the Board’s vote of no confidence in him, if he had not resigned. It follows that your Directors did not support a board comprised of Mr Davies and the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group nominees.
Having regard to the above matters, your Directors believe that the reinstatement of Mr Davies as Managing Director as proposed by the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group would put the future of Image and hence your investment in the Company at risk.
In the case of Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group nominee, Mr Donovan, we note:
==> picture [595 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
-
His credentials and experience are as a company secretary, a skill set readily available and in respect of which the Company is ably served by DWCorporate
-
His resume discloses he has little in the way of listed company Board experience, a fact confirmed by ASIC searches
-
His resume makes no mention of resources experience
In the case of Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group nominee, Mr Fletcher, he has only ever sat on the board of one Australian listed company for a short period, and his resume does not disclose mineral sands experience.
To conclude, the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group is seeking to put inexperienced directors in control of your Company. You should ask, what are the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s real motives and objectives for your Company and its assets?
THE CHOON KONG LIM/ RIBTON GROUP’S PLANS FOR YOUR COMPANY ARE UNCLEAR
The second reason why you should support your Directors is because the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s plans for your Company are unclear.
We refer to the accompanying statement provided by the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group, which includes the following statements:
“The announcement of 1 May 2014 highlights the concerns held by shareholders that the current management of Messrs Thomas, Sakalidis and O’Callaghan do not have direct experience of how to commercialise a project, with the announcement stating that “ the timetable in relation to off-take, finance, development and mining has been set aside ”. This significant change, without further explanation, to the timing of the development of the NPB has occurred within two weeks of the board being under the guidance of Mr O’Callaghan as Chairman and Managing Director.”
and
“We support Mr Davies in his reinstatement as Managing Director and we seek an independent and supportive Board who (sic) have a desire to commercialise the NPB project…”
These statements might at first blush be construed to indicate an intention to progress the NPB Project development plans in accordance with the timetable recently abandoned by your Company.
On a close reading of the statement, in fact the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group commit to no such thing. The substantive commitment is to reinstate Mr Davies as Managing Director (which is not now possible) and to support him with the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group nominees – this plan has fallen asunder.
Mr Davies supported the timetable being abandoned when the decision was taken. Furthermore, on 12 May 2014, he informed the Board, for the first time, he did not think the NPB Project would be brought into production until late 2015, more likely early 2016. Your Directors have not adopted Mr Davies’ now revised timetable.
The Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group also stated that they were concerned that the impact of the 1 May announcement “…would have the effect of lessening the attractiveness of the Company to industry investors”.
As significant investors in their own right, your Directors, quite obviously, did not undertake that action for that purpose but rather to keep the market fully informed, as is their legal obligation.
To be clear, your Directors’ position is that, before the Company can determine the best development option and timetable for the NPB Project, it is essential to complete a bankable feasibility study and to secure off-take and finance – in accordance with good industry practice.
==> picture [595 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
Mr Davies, as recently as 6 February 2014, repeated the NPB Project’s Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return, and a payback period as stated in the 4 November 2013 release. Rightly, these numbers were disclosed as being based on assumptions as to product prices and exchanges rates. However, those assumptions were significantly more favourable than could be achieved in the current market.
As of 13 May 2014, despite these materially adverse movements and request from the Board, Mr Davies, who then had responsibility for the model, had not provided the Board with revised financials based on current parameters.
Your Directors’ 1 May announcement also talked about the Company increasing its exploration effort. Any increase in the resource base would make the NPB Project even more attractive.
Mr Davies agrees that Image would enjoy better market traction if the Company had a bigger resource base.
The Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s plans for its team to run your Company are also unclear.
With Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s declared plan for Mr Davies to be reinstated as Managing Director, he was obviously a core part of their team…or so they would have had you believe.
However, in a meeting on 11 April 2014, Mr Eric Lim, speaking on behalf of his father, Mr Choon Kong Lim, informed a representative of the Company that, if successful in taking control of your Company, it would only be a matter of time before Mr Davies was removed as Managing Director. Mr Eric Lim’s position was restated in a telephone conversation on 14 April 2014.
Messrs Donovan and Fletcher, when given the opportunity in a meeting with a representative of the Company on 29 April 2014 to support Mr Davies, were not willing to do so, instead stating that his position would be reviewed once they were in control of your Company.
Given this, you should ask why did the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group say they would reinstate Mr Davies as Managing Director?
The Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s plans for Mr Sakalidis are just as confusing.
On the one hand, they have submitted a resolution requesting he be removed as a Director.
On the other hand, Mr Donovan has indicated that he may entertain reinstating him both as a director and as a consultant.
In other words, it would seem that the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s plans for Mr Sakalidis are first to seek his removal as a director, then to entertain reinstating him.
Thus, the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s position is:
-
With respect to Mr Davies, publicly they wanted to retain him but privately they wanted to remove him
-
With respect to Mr Sakalidis, publicly they want to remove him but privately they may be prepared to retain him
Having regard to the above matters, the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s plans for your Company are unclear.
STOP THE CHOON KONG LIM/ RIBTON GROUP TAKING CONTROL WITHOUT PAYING FOR CONTROL
The third reason why you should support your Directors is because the impact of what is proposed by the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group would see them take board control of the board of your Company without paying for it. In the interests of all shareholders, this must be stopped.
==> picture [595 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
Mr Eric Lim, on behalf of his father, has stated that his father has no intention of making any further investment in the Company.
The Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s attempt to take control is opportunistic, occurring at a time when sentiment surrounding resources stocks generally is low and when the Company’s feasibility study is scheduled for completion later this year.
Given these circumstances, our message to the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group is that, if they want to take control of Image, they should go about it in the usual manner in which a change of company control is effected, being a takeover offer under which a premium for control is paid to other shareholders and the bidder’s intentions are fully disclosed.
The Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s attempt to take control of your Company without paying anything is entirely inappropriate and not something you should support.
YOUR DIRECTORS ARE THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO BE RUNNING YOUR COMPANY
The fourth reason why you should support your Directors is because they, in conjunction with their team, are the right people to be running your Company.
Messrs Thomas and Sakalidis are founding directors. They were instrumental in:
-
Identifying and acquiring all tenements comprising the NPB Project
-
Exploring the tenements, in so doing generating the NPB Project’s valuable mineral resource
-
Accumulating other Company assets
Messrs Thomas and Sakalidis have an aggregate of more than 60 years in day-to-day hands-on involvement in and exposure to the junior resources sector. This includes an aggregate of more than 20 years serving on the boards of listed mineral sands companies.
Most importantly, both have faith in the Company and “skin in the game”, each having invested in excess of $1 million in cash for their shareholdings, at an average share price significantly higher than the current market. Accordingly, they want the Company to succeed and prosper every bit as much as you do.
Mr Sakalidis, a geophysicist, is responsible for a broad range of tasks within your Company including exploration, strategic evaluation, business development, including reviewing all acquisition opportunities, capital raising and investor relations.
Mr Thomas, a retired solicitor, provides the Company with a wealth of legal experience and commercial acumen.
Mr Jon O’Callaghan was brought on to the Board for his corporate finance skills, meeting a need required by the Company. Mr O’Callaghan has more than 20 years’ experience in the financing, growth and development of natural resources companies, including raising capital for companies transitioning from exploration junior to successful miner. He has considerable resources company board experience.
Importantly, Mr Collis Thorp, Chief Operating Officer has overall responsibility for the Company's projects, with his priority being to complete the feasibility study for the NPB Project, and to oversee endeavours to increase the Company's mineral sands resource base generally.
Mr Thorp has enjoyed a career of more than 40 years in the resources industry, encompassing a broad range of commodities. His mineral sands experience, exceeding 17 years, includes as Managing Director of the Cable Sands RZM Group over the period 1998 to 2005, and at Jennings Mineral Sands over the period 1973 to 1979. His most recent position was as Chief Executive Officer of Moly Mines Limited.
==> picture [595 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
Having played a major role in undertaking more than ten feasibility studies in mineral sands and bringing into production of the order of twenty mines, and with considerable experience in project financing and off-take arrangements, your Directors believe that Mr Thorp is an ideal person to be responsible for the development of the NPB Project.
Messrs Thomas and Sakalidis have always been mindful of the need to strengthen the Board. To this end, a number of possible candidates were identified. Many of the Board’s concerns regarding Mr Davies were shared in confidence with Mr Eric Lim, son of Mr Choon Kong Lim, well over a year ago. Mr Eric Lim was anxious to retain Mr Davies and, in the context of all the Company’s then circumstances, Mr Davies was allowed to continue to serve, resulting in the Board having to spend an inordinate amount of time to manage, oversee and ameliorate his performance.
Among additions to the Board opposed by Mr Davies (and Mr Eric Lim) was Mr John Jones, one of Western Australia’s pre-eminent resources company executives. In a career in resources that spans more than forty years, Mr Jones has played an integral role in bringing into production more than ten mining projects.
Mr Jones has recently reaffirmed his willingness to support your Directors and play a prominent role in the development of the NPB Project if given the opportunity.
A skills and responsibilities matrix of your Director’s core team is set out as follows:
| O'Callaghan | Sakalidis | Thomas | Thorp | Jones | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Corporate governance | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | |
| Legal | ✔ | ||||
| Investor relations | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | |
| Capital raising | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Exploration | ✔ | ✔ | |||
| Business development | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Feasibility study | ✔ | ||||
| Project development | ✔ | ✔ | |||
| Off-take | ✔ | ✔ | |||
| Financing | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ||
| Mine operation | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
With your support, your Directors will:
-
Reinvigorate the exploration effort
-
Complete the NPB Project feasibility study with a view to commercialising it as quickly as possible
-
Properly promote the Company
OTHER MATTERS
Your Directors respect the right of every shareholder to be heard. Equally, directors have an obligation to act without fear or favour, and not to subjugate the interests of the Company to the dictates of a relatively small minority.
As is proper, immediately upon your Directors becoming aware that Messrs Lim and Ribton proposed to serve a section 249D meeting request, we canvassed the views of a broad cross-section of
==> picture [595 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
shareholders and then made a concerted effort to accommodate the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s concerns. This included removing Mr Davies as Managing Director but retaining him as Project Manager until a suitable replacement could be found, as well as Mr Thomas stepping aside as Chairman.
Unfortunately, the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group was implacable, as evidenced by its amended request for a meeting of shareholders; all of which has come at a significant cost and inconvenience to your Company.
Reflecting the fact that the outcome of the meeting of shareholders is crucial to the value of your shares, we ask shareholders to carefully consider all information that has been provided herein.
Finally, we sincerely thank all shareholders for their past and current support, and very much look forward to bringing good news in relation to the NPB Project moving forward without the distraction of the Choon Kong Lim/ Ribton Group’s agitation.
Yours sincerely
Jon O’Callaghan
Chairman and Managing Director
