EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
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. BACKGROUND TO THE RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 4
1.1 Background
On 29 July 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding agreement with Mangwana Capital (Private) Limited ( Mangwana ), whereby Mangwana agreed to subscribe for, and the Company agreed to issue, US$10,000,000 in Shares ( Lead Manager Mandate ). As summarised in Section 1.3 below, the Shares will be issued in order to facilitate trading on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange ( VFEX ).
1.2 Lead Manager Mandate
The Company entered into the Lead Manager Mandate on 23 March 2024. Pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company will issue up to $US10,000,000 in Shares to Mangwana at AUD $0.10 per Share, who will then facilitate the trading of non-issuer sponsored depository receipts ( Depository Receipts ) on the VFEX.
The Company has agreed to pay Mangwana:
(a) a capital raising fee of 5% of the gross proceeds received from the Placement (defined below) raised from any other parties; and
- (b) a further capital raising fee of 5% of the Placement raised from parties introduced by Mangwana.
The Company has also agreed to issue Mangwana a total of 2,000,000 Options, exercisable at $0.20 with an expiry date on the day that is three (3) years from the date of issue.
Mangwana is entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred, with individual expenses over $2,000 first requiring written pre-approval from the Company.
1.3 Placement
The Lead Manager Mandate contemplates a raise up to US$10,000,000 (with the capacity for oversubscriptions up to an extra US$5,000,000) through the issue of 151,515,152 Shares at an issue price of $0.10 per Share (using an exchange rate of AU$1.00 to US$0.66), together with one (1) free-attaching Option for every four (4) Shares subscribed for and issued with an exercise price of $0.30 expiring on the date that is two (2) years from the date of issue (the Placement ).
The Securities issued pursuant to the Placement will be issued to Mangwana Nominees (Private) Limited ( Mangwana Nominees ), who will in turn issue a Depository Receipt on the VFEX. Mangwana Nominees will seek to have the Securities listed as Depository Receipts on the VFEX to facilitate local trading of the underlying Shares.
The Shares issued pursuant to the Placement will not be quoted on the ASX and will instead be held by Mangwana Nominees in order to facilitate the trading of the Depository Receipts on the VFEX.
Mangwana is the manager of existing strategic investor Mangwana Opportunities, an investor-owned, closed-end investment company which will coordinate the Placement with institutional investors from Zimbabwe with an investment horizon of 10+ years.
The Placement will be carried out in two tranches, comprising:
-
(a) the issue of 98,525,000 Shares pursuant to the Company’s ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A capacity (the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2) ( Tranche 1 ); and
-
(b) the issue of 52,990,152 Shares, subject to Shareholder approval at this Meeting (the subject of Resolution 3) ( Tranche 2 ).
The free-attaching Options will also be subject to Shareholder approval at this Meeting and are the subject of Resolution 4.
6
1.4 Underwriting
The Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Mutapa Investment Fund of Zimbabwe ( Mutapa ) on or around 17 July 2024, whereby Mutapa has agreed to underwrite up to 75,757,576 Depository Receipts, which will be issued by Mangwana pursuant to the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate and the Placement ( Underwriting Agreement ). This represents an underwriting commitment of US$5,000,000, being 50% of the funds raised under the Placement.
The Company has agreed to pay Mutapa an underwriting fee of 0.5% of the total amount raised under the Placement.
1.5 Use of Funds
The Company intends to use funds raised from the Placement towards:
-
(a) advancing the Cabora Bassa Project, including Mukuyu-2 flow testing and advancement of early monetisation opportunities;
-
(b) the purchase of long leads for shallow exploration wells targeting the Eastern Margin and Basin Margin plays; and
-
(c) general working capital.
2. RESOLUTION 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 General
As summarised in Section 1.3 above, the Company issued:
-
(a) 22,767,424 Shares on 1 August 2024; and
-
(b) 75,757,576 Shares on 4 September 2024,
pursuant to Tranche 1 of the Placement.
83,658,523 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 14,866,477 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 27 October 2023 (being, the subject of Resolution 2).
The issue of the Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 27 October 2023.
The issue of the Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
7
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares.
2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:
-
(a) the Shares were issued to Mangwana Nominees;
-
(b) 98,525,000 Shares were issued on the following basis:
-
(i) 83,658,523 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and
-
(ii) 14,866,477 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);
-
(c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares apart from the fact that the Shares will not be quoted on the ASX;
-
(d) the Shares were issued on the following dates:
-
(i) 22,767,424 Shares were issued on 1 August 2024; and
-
(ii) 75,757,576 Shares were issued on 4 September 2024;
-
(e) the issue price was $0.10 per Share under both the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;
-
(f) the purpose of the Placement was to raise US$10,000,000, which will be applied towards the activities summarised in Section 1.5; and
-
(g) the Shares will be issued to Mangwana Nominees pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, which is summarised in Section 1.2 above.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES
3.1 General
As summarised in Section 1.3 above, the Company is proposing to issue up to 52,990,152 Shares on or before 1 November 2024, pursuant to Tranche 2 of the Placement.
3.2 Listing Rule 7.1
As summarised in Section 2.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
8
The proposed issue of the Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares. In addition, the issue of the Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares. If the Company is unable to proceed with the issue of the Shares it will be in breach of the Lead Manager Mandate and may be required to amend its development plans for its Cabora Bassa asset and review working capital requirements.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Shares.
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) the Shares will be issued to Mangwana Nominees;
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 52,990,152. The Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares apart from the fact that the Shares will not be quoted on the ASX;
-
(c) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur on the same date;
-
(d) the issue price will be $0.10 per Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;
-
(e) the purpose of the issue of the Shares is to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply towards the activities summarised in Section 1.5;
-
(f) the Shares will be issued to Mangwana Nominees pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, which is summarised in Section 1.2 above; and
-
(g) the Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE FREE-ATTACHING OPTIONS
4.1 General
As summarised in Section 1.3 above, the Company is proposing to issue up to one (1) free attaching Option for every four (4) Shares subscribed for and issued (rounded up for fractional entitlements) under the Placement.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.1
As summarised in Section 2.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options. In addition, the issue of the Options will be excluded from the calculation of the
9
number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options. If the Company is unable to proceed with the issue of the Options it will be in breach of the Lead Manager Mandate and may be required to renegotiate its Lead Manager Mandate which may involve the issue of the Options from the Company’s ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity or the issue of alternative compensation to the participants receiving Depositary Receipts.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Options.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:
-
(a) the Options will be issued to Mangwana Nominees, free attaching to the Shares issued under the Placement;
-
(b) the maximum number of Options to be issued is equal to 25% of the number of Shares to be issued under the Placement (rounded up for fractional entitlements) (being approximately 37,878,789 Options) as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a 1:4 basis;
-
(c) the Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;
-
(d) the Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price will be nil per Option as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a 1:4 basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Options is to incentivise participation in the Placement. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Placement towards the activities summarised in Section 1.5;
-
(g) the Options will be issued to Mangwana Nominees pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, which is summarised in Section 1.2 above; and
-
(h) the Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
5. RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 9 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES
5.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 35,000,000 Options to John Bentley, Joe Mutizwa, Scott Macmillan, Robin Sutherland and Gabriel Chiappini (or their nominee) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolutions 5 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options to the Related Parties.
5.2 Director recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5 to 9 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Options should Resolutions 5 to 9 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 5 to 9 of this Notice.
10
5.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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 issue of Options to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
As the Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Options to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
5.4
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 5 to 9 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.
5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 5 to 9 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 5 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options and will consider alternative means of remuneration for the Related Parties.
5.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 to 9:

(iii) Scott Macmillan (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 7;
-
(iv) Robin Sutherland (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 8; and
-
(v) Gabriel Chiappini (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 9,
each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director;
-
(b) the maximum number of Options to be issued to the Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 35,000,000 comprising:

(i) 7,000,000 Options to John Bentley (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5;
-
(ii) 7,000,000 Options to Joe Mutizwa (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 6;
-
(iii) 7,000,000 Options to Scott Macmillan (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 7;
-
(iv) 7,000,000 Options to Robin Sutherland (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 8; and
-
(v) 7,000,000 Options to Gabriel Chiappini (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 9;
-
(c) the terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 2;
-
(d) the Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the Related Parties, which 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;
-
(g) the Options are unquoted Options. The Company has agreed to issue the Options to the Related Parties subject to Shareholder for the following reasons:
-
(i) the Options are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;
-
(ii) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Related Parties in respect of an issue of Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the Related Parties are not required to immediately sell the Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options on the terms proposed;
12
-
(h) the number of Options to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:
-
(i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;
-
(ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and
-
(iii) incentives to attract and retain the service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.
The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options upon the terms proposed;
- (i) the total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:
| Related Party | Current Financial Year Ended 30 June 2025 |
