Invion Limited ACN 094 730 417 ( Company )

This Explanatory Memorandum accompanies the Notice of Meeting for the General Meeting of the Company to be held at the offices of McCullough Robertson Lawyers at Level 11, 66 Eagle Street, Brisbane, Queensland 4000 on Monday 25 May 2015, commencing at the later of 10.15am (Brisbane time), or immediately following the close of the General Meeting of Shareholders that is scheduled to commence at 10.00am (Brisbane time).

The Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders in determining how to vote on the resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting and is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.

Resolution 1 - Ratification and approval of previous allotment and issue of placement shares

  • 1 The purpose of Resolution 1 is for Shareholders to approve, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, those securities issued in a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors which is to complete on 24 April 2015, which will otherwise count toward the 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • 2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables certain eligible entities to seek Shareholder approval to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which a resolution for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by special resolution. This 10% placement capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company obtained approval from Shareholders to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting on 21 November 2014.

  • 3 A note to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A can be ratified by Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.4. If Shareholders ratify the issue of securities, the issue will not reduce the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 25% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

  • 4 Resolution 1 proposes the approval of the previous allotment and issue of Shares for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of Listing Rule 7.4. In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, members are advised of the following particulars:
