Resolution 3: Approval of additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A

  • 15 Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue a maximum of 15% of its capital in any 12 month period without requiring Shareholder approval. In accordance with the Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible entities (companies that are outside the S&P/ASX 300 index and that also have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less) can issue a further 10% of the Company’s share capital over a 12 month period following the Annual General Meeting (provided Shareholder approval is obtained at the Annual General Meeting) on a non-pro rata basis.

  • 16 The Company falls within the eligibility criteria required by Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • 17 The number of shares that may be issued (if Shareholder approval is obtained at the Annual General Meeting) will be determined in accordance with the following formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2:

(A x D) – E

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

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

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval; and

  • (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

  • 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

7

that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

  • 18 Additional disclosure obligations are imposed when the special resolution is proposed, when securities are issued and when any further approval is sought. For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A the Company provides the following information:
Minimum price at
which the equity
securities may be
issued
The issue price of each Share must be no less than 75% of the volume
weighted average price for the Shares calculated over the 15 trading days on
which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
(a)
the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is
agreed; or
(b)
if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in
paragraph (a), the date on which the securities are issued.
Risk of economic
and voting dilution
An issue of shares under Listing Rule 7.1A involves the risk of economic and
voting dilution for existing ordinary security holders. The risks include:
(a)
the market price for Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date
than on the date of the approval under Listing rule 7.1A; and
(b)
the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the
market price for the Shares on the issue date.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.2 a table describing the notional possible
dilution, based upon various assumptions as stated, is set out below.
Date by which the
Company may issue
the securities
The period commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which
approval is obtained and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
(a)
the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general
meeting at which approval is obtained; and
(b)
the date of the approval by holders of the Company’s ordinary securities
of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.
The approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will cease to be valid in the event that
holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under
Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.
Purposes for which
the equity securities
may be issued,
including whether
the Company may
issue them for non-
cash consideration
It is the Board’s current intention that any funds raised pursuant to an issue of
securities will be applied towards the commercialisation of the Company’s lead
product HER-Vasxx. This would principally include:
(a)
research and development;
(b)
regulatory and reimbursement approvals;
(c)
maintenance of intellectual property; and
(d)
staff and office costs, audit and compliance expenses, and ASX fees.
The Company reserves the right to issue shares for non-cash consideration,
including as non-cash consideration for any acquisition.
Details of the
Company’s
allocation policy for
issues under
approval
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market
conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. The
identity of the allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having
regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
(a)
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including
but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security
holders can participate;
(b)
the effect of the issue of the Listing Rule 7.1A shares on the control of
the Company;

8

(c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and (d) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

  • (a) 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

  • (b) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

*Note: Current Variable A refers to the calculation required by Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which, in the Company’s case, equates to the current issued share capital of the Company.

  • 23 The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (a) the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Listing Rule 7.1A approval;

  • (b) no options are exercised to convert into Shares before the date of the issue of the Shares available under Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (c) 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%;

15

  • (d) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of a share issue under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting;

  • (e) 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;

  • (f) the issue of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A consists only of Shares; and

  • (g) the issue price is $0.022, being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 27 September 2018.

  • 24 As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, the Company has on issue 3,599,845,520 Shares. Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained for Resolution 3, the Company will have capacity to issue the following equity securities as at the date of the Annual General Meeting:

  • (a) 539,976,828 Shares (under Listing Rule 7.1); and

  • (b) 359,984,552 Shares (under Listing Rule 7.1A).[1]

  • 25 Listing Rule 7.1A requires Resolution 3 to be passed as a special resolution. A special resolution needs approval by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 26 The Directors recommend you vote in favour this resolution.

Resolution 4: Issue of options to Managing Director

  • 27 Subject to the approval of Shareholders, the Company proposes to issue 50,000,000 options to Leslie Chong, Managing Director (or her nominee).

  • 28 Once approval is obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14, the Company is entitled to rely on Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 4 as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. Similarly, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • 29 The options shall be issued under and subject to the terms of the ESOP.

  • 30 The board has formed the view that the issue of options to Ms Chong does not require shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act, as the issue of the options constitutes ‘reasonable remuneration’ in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.

  • 31 Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of the following options as detailed below:

  • (a) each option is to acquire one Share;

  • (b) the options are issued for nil consideration;

  • (c) the exercise price will be:

1 The actual number of Shares the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A may vary and will be determined at the date of issue in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as illustrated in the table above).

16

  • (i) 10,000,000 at $0.04 per option;

  • (ii) 20,000,000 at $0.042 per option;

  • (iii) 20,000,000 at $0.045 per option

  • (d)

  • the options will not be transferable;

  • (e) it is intended that the options will be issued within 5 days after the Annual General Meeting, but in any event no later than 12 months after the Annual General Meeting;

  • (f)

  • the options will have an expiry date of on or before 30 June 2021; and

  • (g) the options will only vest in the event specific performance hurdles, determined by the Board, are met.

General Terms of the issue of options under Resolution 4

  • 32 The other general terms for the options to be issued under Resolution 4 are:

  • (a) if there is a reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the share capital of the Company, the rights attaching to the options issued pursuant to Resolution 4 will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a re-organisation of capital at the time of the re-organisation;

  • (b) the options do not entitle Ms Chong to participate in any new issues by the Company without exercising the options;

  • (c) the options do not confer on Ms Chong any rights to a change in the exercise price of the options or a change to the number of underlying securities over which the options can be exercised except:

    • (i) in the case of a pro rata issue to the holders of shares (except a bonus issue) in which case the exercise price of each option shall be reduced in accordance with the formula contained in Listing Rule 6.22.2; and

    • (ii) in the case of a bonus issue to the holders of Shares, in which case the number of Shares over which each option is exercisable shall be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the option would have received if the option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue;

  • (d) all shares issued pursuant to the exercise of options will, subject to the Constitution of the Company, rank in all respects (other than in respect of dividends, rights issues or bonus issues declared prior to allotment) equally with the existing Shares at the date of issue and allotment; and

  • (e) the options will not be quoted on ASX. The Company intends to apply to ASX for quotation of any Shares acquired on exercise of the options.
