EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
BUSINESS OF THE MEETING
RESOLUTIONS 1, 2 AND 3 – ISSUE OF SUB‐UNDERWRITING SECURITIES TO A DIRECTOR
1. Background
On 19 August 2009, the Company announced it was undertaking a fully underwritten pro‐rata non‐renounceable entitlements issue at an issue price of 5 cents per share to raise approximately $1.15 million before issue costs ( Entitlement Issue ). Under the Entitlement Issue, Shareholders will be offered 1 New Share and 1 attaching New Option (10 cents, 30 September 2011) for every 5 Shares held at the record date. The Entitlement Issue offer will be made pursuant to a prospectus to be sent to Shareholders on or about 31 August 2009. Further details in regard to the Entitlement Issue and an entitlement and acceptance form in respect of the offer will be provided in the prospectus.
The Entitlement Issue is fully underwritten by Max Capital Pty Ltd ( Max Capital ) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement between the Company and Max Capital. Max Capital is an entity controlled by Mr Ian Macliver, a Director of the Company. The Directors are of the view that Shareholder approval of the financial benefit provided pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement is not required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act as the Underwriting Agreement is on commercial arms length terms and therefore comes within the arms length exception in Section 210 of the Corporations Act.
Max Capital has entered into sub‐underwriting agreements with various parties including Messrs Michael Fairclough, Graham Baillie and Ian Macliver, each a Director of the Company ( Sub‐ underwriting Directors ). Messrs Michael Fairclough, Graham Baillie and Ian Macliver have each agreed to take up their full entitlements under the Entitlement Issue and in the event of a Shortfall, subscribe for additional Sub‐underwriting Securities pursuant to a general sub‐underwriting agreement with Max Capital.
2. ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the Company. Whilst the issue of securities under an underwriting agreement in relation to a pro‐rata issue is an exception to ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the Directors have decided it prudent to seek Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the proposed issue of Sub‐underwriting Securities to the Sub‐underwriting Directors.
Messrs Michael Fairclough, Graham Baillie and Ian Macliver are considered to be related parties of the Company as they are each Directors of the Company. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of Sub‐Underwriting Shares and attaching New Options to them or their nominees pursuant to Resolutions 1, 2 and 3.
It is the view of the Directors that Shareholder approval is not required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act as the issue of the Sub‐underwriting Securities to the Sub‐underwriting Directors will
5
be on the same terms as the New Shares and New Options being offered under the Entitlement Issue and on the same terms as the Sub‐underwriting Securities being issued to other sub‐underwriters and will therefore come within the arm’s length terms exception in Section 210 of the Corporations Act.
3. ASX Listing Rule 10.13
ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out the matters which must be included in the notice of meeting convened to seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 1, 2 and 3:
-
(a) the Sub‐Underwriting Securities will be issued to Messrs Michael Fairclough, Graham Baillie and Ian Macliver or their nominees;
-
(b) the maximum number if securities that may be granted to the Sub‐Underwriting Directors is:
-
(i) 1,000,000 Sub‐Underwriting Shares and attaching 1,000,000 New Options to Mr Michael Fairclough or his nominee (Resolution 1);
-
(ii) 1,000,000 Sub‐Underwriting Shares and attaching 1,000,000 New Options to Mr Graham Baillie or his nominee (Resolution 2); and
-
(iii) 500,000 Sub‐Underwriting Shares and attaching 500,000 New Options to Mr Ian Macliver or his nominee (Resolution 3);
-
(c) the Sub‐Underwriting Shares and attaching New Options will be issued on completion of the Entitlement Issue and in any event not later than one month after the date of this Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);
-
(d) the Sub‐Underwriting Shares will be issued for 5 cents each and the attaching New Options will be issued for nil consideration;
-
(e) The Sub‐Underwriting Shares to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares of the Company that rank equally with the Company’s current issued Shares. The New Options will be issued on the terms and conditions outlined in Annexure A; and
-
(f) the Company will raise a total of up to $125,000 from the issue of Sub‐Underwriting Shares and attaching New Options. These funds will be used, together with the funds raised pursuant to the Entitlement Issue, to executive major sales and marketing initiatives to accelerate revenue growth by the Company.
