2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

Where you do not direct the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or Closely Related Party of that member on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR BRETT CROWLEY
Clause 13.2 of the Company’s Constitution requires that at the Company’s annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), must retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.
A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for reelection.
Mr Brett Crowley will retire by rotation at this Annual General Meeting and seeks reelection.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Company proposes to consolidate its share capital through the conversion of every 5 ordinary shares in the Company into 1 ordinary share in the Company. Under section 254H of the Corporations Act 2001, a company may consolidate its shares if the consolidation is approved by an ordinary resolution of shareholders at a general meeting. Listing Rule 7.20 provides that if any entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must advise shareholders of certain matters, which are set out below. No voting exclusions apply, and all shareholders can vote on the resolution.
Reasons for the Consolidation
The Company has 842,881,776 shares on issue. For a company of this size, this is a very large number of securities to have on issue and it subjects the Company to a number of disadvantages including:
-
additional share price volatility arising from the fact that the minimum
-
permissible share price movement permitted by the ASX (being 0.1 cent) represents a higher proportion of the Company’s share price than it would if the Company had a greater share price;
-
the large number of shares on issue is disproportionate to that of comparable
-
companies; and
-
negative perceptions associated with a low share price.
7
The Directors consider that a share consolidation would assist in mitigating these disadvantages. The Directors also consider that the share consolidation will result in a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company and a share price that is more attractive to a wider range of investors. Although the share consolidation has no direct effect on the underlying value of the Company, shareholders should appreciate that the value of the Company's shares on ASX (and in turn the Company's market capitalisation) post consolidation is subject to a range of factors beyond the control of the Company.
Effect on Shares
If the proposed share consolidation is approved by the Company's shareholders, the number of the Company’s shares on issue will be reduced from 842,881,776 shares to approximately 84,288,177 shares. As the consolidation applies equally to all shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of the Company’s shares (subject only to the rounding of fractions, where fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole number). It follows that the consolidation will have no effect on the percentage interest of each individual shareholder. By way of illustrative example, if a shareholder currently has 1,000,000 shares, representing approximately 0.12% of the Company’s issued capital, then if the share consolidation is approved and implemented, the shareholder will have 200,000 shares following the consolidation, still representing the same 0.12% of the Company’s issued capital. The share consolidation will not otherwise result in any change to the rights and obligations of the Company's shareholders. The Company’s balance sheet will also remain unaltered as a result of the share consolidation.
Effect on Options
The Company has unlisted options on issue. In accordance with the option terms and ASX Listing Rule 7.22, these options will be consolidated on the same basis as the shares. That is, every 5 options will be consolidated into 1 option, and their exercise price amended in inverse proportion to the consolidation ratio. Any fractional entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. If the proposed consolidation is approved by the Company's shareholders, the effect of the consolidation on the number and exercise price of options is set out below.
| Expiry date | Pre- consolidation exercise price |
Pre-consolidation number |
Post- consolidation exercise price |
Post- consolidation number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 November 2019 |
6c | 67,145,001 | 30c | 13,429,001 |
Effect on Performance Rights
The Company has unlisted performance rights on issue. In accordance with the terms of the performance rights and ASX Listing Rule 7.22, these rights will be consolidated on the same basis as the shares. That is, every 5 performance rights will be consolidated into 1 performance right. Any fractional entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The consolidation will not have any effect on the vesting or exercise conditions. If the proposed consolidation is approved by the Company's shareholders, the effect of the consolidation on the number of performance rights is set out below.
| Pre-consolidation number | Post-consolidation number |
|---|---|
| 16,000,000 | 3,200,000 |
8
Treatment of Fractions
Where the consolidation of a shareholder’s holding results in an entitlement to a fraction of a share, the fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. If the Company reasonably considers that a shareholder has been a party to the division of a shareholding in an attempt to obtain an advantage from this treatment of fractions, the Company may take appropriate action, having regard as appropriate to the terms of the Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules.
Indicative Timetable
If the share consolidation is approved, it is expected to take effect in accordance with the following timetable (as set out in the Listing Rules):
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| Thursday, 21 November 2019 | AGM and notice to ASX that shareholders have approved the share consolidation |
| Friday, 22 November 2019 | Last day for trading in pre-consolidated shares |
| Monday, 25 November 2019 | Trading in consolidated shares on deferred settlement basis commences |
| Tuesday, 26 November 2019 | Last day for registration of transfers on a pre-consolidation basis |
| Wednesday, 27 November 2019 | First day for registration of transfers on a post consolidated basis and first day for issue of holding statements |
| Tuesday, 3 December 2019 | Change of details of holding date. Deferred settlement trading ends. Last day for securities to be entered into the holders’ security holdings. Last day for entity to send notice to each security holder. |
Holding Statements
From the date of the consolidation all current holding statements for shares and options will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement. After the consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements to be issued.
Taxation
No capital gains tax event is expected to occur as a result of the share consolidation for shareholders holding their investment on capital account. Investors will need to reallocate the cost base of their existing shares to the consolidated shares. Shareholders should seek independent professional advice for guidance based on their individual circumstances. Likewise, there is not expected to be a tax effect on the Company.
No Other Material Information
There is no other material information known to the Company’s Directors which may be reasonably expected to affect Shareholders’ decision-making as to whether to vote in
