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 12 December 2014 at 11.30 am (EST).
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.
1. RESOLUTION I– APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES
In August 2013, Wasabi New Energy Asia Limited (WNEA) entered into a loan agreement with China Shiny Holdings Limited (China Shiny) to raise funds for the part payment of the purchase price of SSNE. China Shiny have provided extensions to the loan repayment date from the original date of 3 February 2014. In order to agree to a further extension for the loan to 31 May 2015, China Shiny have requested that a portion of the accrued interest amounting to $500,000, be paid. China Shiny agreed that this interest could be settled by the issue to it of new shares and options in the Company on the same terms as the Rights Issue being offered to shareholders rather than be paid form the proceeds of the Rights Issue and therefore limit the working capital of the Company.
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 Shares and Options for which the Company is seeking approval to issue pursuant to Resolution 1 in aggregate would represent 23.3% of the number of Shares currently on issue (when including the total number of securities, being the Shares and the Options), and not taking into account any shares issued under the current Rights Issue prior to the date of the meeting, and their issue therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If the share and option issue proposed in Resolution 1 is approved by Shareholders, the number of Shares on issue will increase from 43,795,695 to 48,795,695 and the number of options on issue will increase from 2,850,000 to 7,850,000. These amounts exclude any shares and options which may be issued under the Rights Issue prior to the date of the meeting.
-
The maximum number of securities to be issued pursuant to this resolution is 5,000,000 Shares and 5,000,000 options;
-
The Shares and Options will be issued no later than 3 months from the date of the meeting;
-
The issue price of the Shares will be 10 cents per share;
-
The Shares and Options will be issued to China Shiny Holdings Limited;
-
The Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 1 will rank pari passu with all other Shares;
-
The Options will be issued on the terms outlined in Schedule 1 of this Explanatory Statement;
-
No funds will be raised by the issue of the Shares or Options. The issue of the Shares will be used to offset interest due to China Shiny Holdings Limited from WNEA as set out above. If the Options are exercised, $500,000 would be received as working capital of the Company.
5
2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES
If Shareholders approve Resolutions 1 and disregarding any shares issued pursuant to the Rights Issue, the fifteen million Shares and Options for which the Company is seeking approval to issue pursuant to Resolution 2 would represent 51.0% of the number of Shares then on issue. If the Rights issue is fully subscribed, the fifteen million Shares and Options would represent 29.2% of the number of Shares then on issue.
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). Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3 the following set out the details of the proposed issue of securities for which approval is sought:
-
The maximum number of securities that will be issued is 15,000,000 ordinary shares and 15,000,000 options;
-
The Shares and Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting. Allotment may occur progressively as investors are secured.
-
The issue price of any shares issued under Resolution 2 will be 10c.
-
The Company will either place the shares to:
-
Pan Andean Capital Pty Limited and/or Salida Accelerator Fund SAR as settlement of the loans those parties have made to the Company not otherwise settled by the Rights Issue or extended with the consent of the ASX; or
-
seek to identify, and to progressively place the greater part of the Shares with a strategic investor, or investors who will be able to provide ongoing support to the Company as it executes its business plan.
All Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors, or to other persons to whom securities can be issued without a disclosure document under the Corporations Act. No Shares will be issued under Resolution 2 to related parties of the Company.
-
The $1,500,000 of total funds raised will be used either for general working capital and, if appropriate the reduction of any debt remaining in the Company at the completion of the Rights Issue.
-
The Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 2 will rank pari passu with all other Shares.
-
No funds will be received on the issue of the Options but if all the Options are exercised then the Company will receive a further amount of $1,500,000.
-
The Options will be issued on the terms outlined in Schedule 1 of this Explanatory Statement.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form enclosed and send the proxy form:
-
(a) by post to Enhanced Systems Technologies Limited, Level 1, 114-116 Auburn Road, Hawthorn, 3122 Victoria;
or
- (b) by facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 3 9818 3656,
so that it is received not later than 11.30am (EST) on 10 December 2014.
Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
