EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at Level 25, Bourke Place, 600 Bourke Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000 on 30 September 2010 at 11.30am (EST).

This 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 Resolution in the Notice of Meeting.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may not issue more than 15% of its ordinary capital in a 12 month period without shareholder approval (except in certain exceptions, none of which will apply in this case).

The 400,000,000 Shares for which the Directors are seeking approval to issue represent 28.07% of the number of Shares currently on issue, and their issue therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The shares to be issued are fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with all other ordinary shares in the Company.

The Company will seek to identify, and to place the greater part of the shares with, a strategic investor who can act as a corner stone to the further development of the Company and the companies in which it holds an interest.

The funds raised will be used for general working capital and to pursue possible further investment opportunities which may arise.

The shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors, or to other persons to whom the shares can be issued without a disclosure document under the Corporations Act. No shares will be issued to related parties of the Company.

The shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting. Allotment will occur progressively as investors are secured.

2. ENQUIRIES

Shareholders are required to contact the Managing Director or Company Secretary on (61 3) 9663 7132 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in these documents.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

1.

A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  • 2 directors of the company;

  • a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  • for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  2. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.

  3. To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form enclosed and send the proxy form:

  4. (a) by post to Wasabi Energy Limited, Level 9, 175 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000;

or

  • (b) by facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 3 9650 0066,

so that it is received not later than 11.30am EST on 28 September 2010.

Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
