Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that the Company can issue without the approval of its Shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the Shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights to Airguide (or its nominees) pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to issue the Performance Rights, without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1. In addition, the Shares issued on conversion of the Performance Rights 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 1 is not passed, the Company will not issue the Performance Rights.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Oro Verde Limited – Notice of General Meeting 2020

Resolution 3 – Replacement of Constitution
General
A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of shareholders.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares that has been updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted in 2011.
The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.
The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature including, without limitation:
-
subject to the passing of Resolution 2, updating the name of the Company; and
-
expressly providing for statutory rights by mirroring these rights in provisions of the Proposed Constitution.
The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Memorandum, however, a summary of the more significant proposed changes is set out below.
A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website (www.oroverde.com.au) and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary, Brett Dickson (+61 8 9481 2555). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Summary of material proposed changes
Restricted securities (clause 27)
The Proposed Constitution complies with the proposed changes to Listing Rule 15.12 which came into effect on 1 December 2019. Under these changes, ASX requires certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers (such as related parties, promoters, substantial holders, service providers and their associates) to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form Appendix 9A. However, for less significant holdings (such as non-related parties and non-promoters), ASX instead permits the entity to issue restriction notices to holders of restricted securities in the form of a new Appendix 9C advising them of the restriction rather than requiring signed restriction agreements.
Fee for registration of transfers (clause 5.1(c))
Clause 5.1(c) of the Proposed Constitution provides that no fee may be charged by the Company on the transfer of any Shares, except to the extent that the fee is permitted by the Listing Rules. On 24 January 2011, ASX amended Listing Rule 8.14 with the effect that the Company may now charge a “reasonable fee” for registering paper-based transfers, sometimes referred to “off-market transfers”. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its fraud detection practices specific to off-market transfers. Before charging any fee, the Company is required to notify ASX of the fee to be charged and provide sufficient information to enable ASX to assess the reasonableness of the proposed amount.
Direct voting (clause 12.16)
The Proposed Constitution includes a new provision which allows Shareholders to exercise their voting rights through direct voting (in addition to exercising their existing rights to appoint a proxy). The Directors may determine that, at any general meeting or class meeting, a Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote on a resolution at that meeting is entitled to vote by direct vote in respect of that resolution. This inclusion is in line with modern listed company standards and will enable Shareholders to cast their vote without being required to physically attend the meeting, should the directors choose it is necessary. If such a determination is made by the Directors, the notice of meeting will include information on the application of direct voting.

Proportional takeover approval provisions (clause 11)
A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.
Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.
This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last renewal of the clause.
Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act
Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions
Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.
Reasons for proportional takeover provisions
A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.
Knowledge of any acquisition proposals
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions
The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.
The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:
-
the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
-
assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;
-
increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and
-
each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.
The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:
-
proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;
-
lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and
-
the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.
Recommendation of the Board
The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provision in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
