The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act and the Company’s Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report ( Annual Financial Statements ).

The Company’s annual report to Shareholders, which includes the annual financial report, is available on its website at www.keypetroleum.com.au.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Financial Statements.

The Company’s auditor, Bentleys, will be present at the Annual General Meeting and Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask the auditor questions in relation to the conduct of the audit, the auditor’s report, the Company’s accounting policies, and the independence of the auditor.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company’s auditor about:

  • the preparation and content of the auditor’s report;

  • the conduct of the audit;

  • accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements; and

  • the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting date to the registered office of Key Petroleum Limited at Level 2, 47 Stirling Highway, Nedlands, Western Australia 6009 or to facsimile number +61 8 6389 0697.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors. The Directors’ Report can be found within the Company’s annual report which is available on the Company’s website at www.keypetroleum.com.au.

Voting on the adoption of the Remuneration Report is for advisory purposes only and will not bind the Directors or the Company. The failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report. The Chairman of the AGM will allow reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about, or comment on, the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

6

Although voting on the adoption of the Remuneration Report is for advisory purposes only, if there are two consecutive votes at annual general meetings of the Company against the Remuneration Report of 25% or more (each year's votes being considered a Strike ), at the second consecutive annual general meeting at which a Strike occurs ( Second Strike ), a resolution must be put to Shareholders to hold another meeting where each Director is nominated for re-election ( Spill Resolution ). If the Spill Resolution is passed, then the Company is required to hold an additional general meeting ( Further Meeting ) within 90 days of the Spill Resolution. At the Further Meeting all Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must be nominated for re-election.

The Company’s Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the Company’s previous annual general meeting held on 23 November 2015. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution will not be put to the Meeting even if 25% or more of the votes cast in respect of the 2016 Remuneration Report are against the adoption of the 2015 Remuneration Report.

Section 250R(4) of the Corporations Act prohibits any votes on this Resolution being cast by Key Management Personnel (or their associates) whose remuneration details are disclosed in the Remuneration Report. However, an exception to this prohibition exists to enable the Chairman to vote shareholders' undirected proxy votes. In this regard, you should specifically note that if you appoint the Chairman as your proxy and you indicate on the Proxy Form that you do not wish to specify how the Chairman should vote on Resolution 1, the Chairman will cast your votes in favour of Resolution 1. If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy but do NOT want your votes to be cast in favour of Resolution 1, you must indicate your voting intention by marking either 'against' or 'abstain' against Resolution 1 in the Proxy Form.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MIN YANG

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.5 and clause 14.3 of the Constitution, at every annual general meeting an election of Directors must take place. Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 14.3 of the Constitution prevents a Director from holding office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

The Directors to retire are those Directors who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last reappointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, by agreement and in default of agreement by ballot. The Managing Director is exempt from retirement and re-election.

Min Yang retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers herself for re-election as a Director.

Ms Yang was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company on 28 January 2014. She resides in Hong Kong and has over 20 years of experience with private and state-run businesses in China and has expertise in the identification of opportunities in resources and financial investment. Currently a Director and Chairman of ASF Group Limited and a Non-Executive Chairman of Rey Resources Limited and ActivEX Limited and a Non-Executive Director Metaliko Resources Limited.

The Directors (excluding Min Yang) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the Resolution.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PAST ISSUE OF SHARES

1. Background

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company can issue up to 15% of its issued equity securities in a 12 month period (subject to certain exceptions) without shareholder approval. On 8 March 2016, the Company issued Shares as detailed below.

7

2. ASX Listing Rules

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will in themselves or when aggregated with the Equity Securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the company’s members subsequently approve it.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the past issue of Shares. The Company confirms that the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 3 did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1. None of the recipients of the Shares was a related party of the Company within the meaning of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

The effect of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the past issue of Shares will be that the Shares will not be counted as reducing the number of securities which the Company can issue in the future without shareholder approval under the 15% placement limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (i.e. the 15% limit is “renewed” to the extent of the approval).

3. Effect on capital of the Company

The Shares the subject of this Resolution comprise 11.64% of the Company’s fully-diluted share capital (based on the number of Shares and Options on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting).

4. Shareholder Approval

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and the following information is included in this Explanatory Statement for this purpose:

  • 4.1 the number, issue price, issue date and recipients of the Shares issued by the Company are as follows:

  • 108,353,766 Shares at an agreed price of $0.004 per Share to Star Surpass Ltd on 8 March 2016, announced to ASX on 4 March 2016;

  • 4.2 the purpose of the issue of the Shares was for funding Key’s share of work commitments in the Canning and Perth Basins, assessment of new venture opportunities and ongoing working capital;

  • 4.3 all of the Shares issued pursuant to the placement above were fully paid ordinary shares which ranked equally with all other existing Shares from their date of issue; and

  • 4.4

5.

  • a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Board is not aware of any information not set out in this Explanatory Statement that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to Resolution 3.

The Board believes that the ratification of the issue of shares is beneficial for the Company. Each of the Directors recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the 12 months period ending on 7 March 2017, after which date the 15% limit is automatically refreshed in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the Resolution.

8

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

1. Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice of Meeting and expects to be so at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 2(c) below).

Key objectives of the Company, as communicated in public announcements, are to continue its focus on operated exploration activities in highly prospective acreage and vertical integration of new business opportunities in high equity positions that align with the Company’s exploration portfolio of interests. The Company may use the 10% Placement Facility to acquire new exploration or development opportunities or investments, or for exploration activities encompassing drilling and/or feasibility studies of the Company's projects.

The Board believes that the 10% Placement Facility is beneficial for the Company as it will give the Company the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 10% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the Resolution.

2. Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue three classes of Equity Securities, being Shares, Options and Performance Rights. However Shares are the only class of Equity Securities that are quoted.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the

9

date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (iv) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d)

Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 897,358,441 Shares. Subject to Shareholders approving Resolutions 3 and 4, immediately following the AGM the Company will have the capacity to issue approximately:

  • (i) 134,603,766 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 89,735,844 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 2(c) above).

(e)

Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f)

10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

10

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

3. Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

4. Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price not less than the minimum issue price calculated in accordance with section 2(e) above.

  • (b) If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Listed Options, only if the Listed Options are exercised) to the extent Shareholders do not receive any Shares under the issue. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) Variable A is 897,358,441 being the number of ordinary securities on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

  • (ii) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (iii) No Options (including any Listed Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iv) Shareholders approve Resolution 4.

  • (v) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (vi) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (vii) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (viii) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (ix) The issue price is $0.004, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 10 October 2016.

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d)

  • The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new resources assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and drilling and feasibility study

12

expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital, consistent with the Company’s publically stated strategy.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (e) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.

  • (f) The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at last year’s Annual General Meeting held on 23 November 2015.

The Company has issued a total of 175,000,000 Equity Securities during the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting representing approximately 18.8% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 3 October 2016, being 930,858,441.

g)

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities.

In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in ASX Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility the subject of Resolution 4), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted, and there is no reason to exclude their votes.

No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – SHARE PLACEMENT FACILITY

1. Background

Resolution 5 seeks the approval of Shareholders for a Share Placement Facility of up to 250,000,000 ordinary fully paid Shares, which the Directors may utilise to raise additional working capital for the Company.

The Directors believe that it is prudent for the Company to have a Share Placement Facility available so that it has the flexibility to raise additional capital should market conditions provide the opportunity. If not utilised, the facility would lapse 3 months after the date for the meeting.

2. ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing shares representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period, without the prior approval of its shareholders (subject to certain exceptions). Accordingly prior Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 250,000,000 Shares in the Company.

3. Shareholder Approval

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided to Shareholders.

  • (a) the maximum number of securities that may be issued under Resolution 5 is 250,000,000 Shares;

  • (b) any Shares issued in accordance with Resolution 5 will be issued within 3 months from the date of the AGM (or such later date as approved by ASX);

  • (c) the Shares will be issued to institutional and sophisticated investors. As at the date of this Notice there has been no decision by the Directors to issue any Shares. Accordingly, the names of any allottee or proposed allottees are not known;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued at a price which is not less than 80% of the average market price of the Company’s Shares, calculated over the 5 days in which sales on the Company’s Shares were recorded on ASX before the day on which an issue is made;

  • (e) any Shares issued pursuant to Resolution 5 will rank equally in all respects with existing fully paid Shares issued in the Company;

  • (f) funds raised by the issue of any Shares will be issued as additional working capital for the Company to continue exploration of its permits as well as ongoing evaluation of new venture opportunities; and

14

(g) there is no planned issue date and if there is an issue it will occur progressively.

4. Board Recommendation

The Board believes that approval of the Share Placement Facility is beneficial for the Company.

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the Resolution.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – GRANT OF OPTIONS TO THE MANAGING DIRECTOR, KANE MARSHALL

The Board has determined that the grant of Options to Kane Marshall is the most appropriate form of long term incentive for him in the Company’s current circumstances. The Board considers that Kane Marshall, to whom it proposes to issue Options, is essential to the operation of the Company’s ongoing business.

Accordingly, the Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to grant 20,000,000 Options to Kane Marshall, Managing Director, (or his nominee).

The grant of the Options to Kane Marshall is designed to incentivise Kane Marshall for future services and to tie his remuneration to the performance of the Company and align his interests with the interests of Shareholders. The Options to be granted are in addition to Kane Marshall’s remuneration package payable by the Company.

Requirement for Shareholder approval

Pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Section 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is defined widely. It includes a director of a public company, specified members of the director’s family and an entity over which a director maintains control.

A “financial benefit” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is also defined widely. It includes a public company issuing securities or granting options to a related party.

The grant of the Options to Kane Marshall (or his nominee) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company, as Kane Marshall is a Director. Accordingly, approval is sought under Resolution 6 to grant the Options to Kane Marshall (or his nominee) for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

In addition, Listing Rule 10.11 prohibits a company from issuing equity securities (including options) to a related party without shareholder approval. Accordingly, approval is sought under Resolution 6 to issue Options to Kane Marshall (or his nominee) which requires Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue Options to Kane Marshall (or his nominee) as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14, the issues of Options will not be included in calculating the Company’s annual 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

15

Details of the proposed issue of Options

The Company proposes to issue 20,000,000 Options to Kane Marshall, Managing Director (or his nominee) with an exercise price per Option being the greater of 1.5 cents and 150% of the market price of Key Petroleum Shares determined at the date of grant of the Options as the 5 business days volume weighted average of the Company’s Share price up to and including the date of grant ( Exercise Price ). The Options will, subject to the conditions of the Options set out in Annexure A, expire four years after the date of grant.

Notwithstanding the Exercise Price, the Options will not be able to be exercised until the average 30 consecutive day VWAP of the Company’s Shares is equal to or greater than 1.5 cents.

The number and value of the Options were derived to provide an appropriate performance linked incentive component of the remuneration package in order to align the interests of Kane Marshall with the interests of Shareholders.

The Options will not have an issue price and no funds will be raised from their grant. Funds raised from the exercise of the Options will be used for general working capital purposes.

The Options will be granted on the terms set out above and in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement.

The grant of the Options to Kane Marshall (or his nominee) will be equal to approximately 2.15% of the Company’s fully-diluted share capital (based on the number of Shares and Options on issue as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting). The Options will be granted as soon as possible after the Annual General Meeting and in any event no later than 1 month after the meeting. The holdings of Shareholders in the capital of the Company will be diluted should the Options to be granted by Resolution 6 be subsequently exercised and shares allotted and issued as a result of that exercise.

The highest and lowest closing market sale price of the Company’s Shares on ASX during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting and the respective dates of those sales were: $0.006 on 22 October 2015 and $0.003 on 24 December 2015 respectively.

The closing trading price of the shares 7 days prior to the lodgment of this Notice of Annual General Meeting with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission was $0.004 on 3 October 2016.

A valuation of the Options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

  • (a) the market price of shares is $0.004 per share (as at 3 October 2016 which is the valuation date for the purposes of this valuation);

  • (b) the Options will be exercisable at $0.015* each;

  • (c) the Options have a life of four years;

  • (d) price volatility of the shares during the life of the Options is 91%;

  • (e) the current four-year risk free interest rate is 1.79%;

  • (f) no discount has been allowed to reflect the unlisted status of the Options; and

  • (g) no expectation of dividends.

The Black-Scholes model calculates a value of $31,662 for the Options to be issued. This valuation is not necessarily the market price at which those Options could be traded and is not automatically the market price for taxation purposes.

  • If Shareholders approve the grant of Options to Kane Marshall, the actual exercise price of the Options will be the greater of 1.5 cents and 150% of the market price of Shares determined at the

16

time of issue as the 5 business day’s volume weighted average of the Company’s Share price up to and including the date of grant.

With respect to Kane Marshall, the Directors provide the following information so that shareholders can consider Resolution 6:

can consider Resolution 6:
Shares held (beneficially) 17,500,000
Options held (expiry 6 August 2017)
4,000,000 at $0.055 exercise price
4,000,000 at $0.065 exercise price
4,000,000 at $0.074 exercise price
12,000,000
Performance Rights held 4,000,000
Annual base remuneration including superannuation * $191,625
Value of Options to be issued under Resolution 6 ** $31,662
  • As per the 2016 Annual Report.

** Applying a Black-Scholes option pricing model and based on the assumptions set out above.

The Company will not provide a loan to Kane Marshall for the purposes of enabling him to exercise the Options.

If the Options the subject of Resolution 6 were granted to Kane Marshall (or his nominee) and were exercised, a total of 20,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 897,358,441 to 917,358,441 (based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting and assuming that no other Options are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 2.18%.

The Board is not aware of any information not set out in this Explanatory Statement that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to Resolution 6.

Directors’ Recommendation

Except for Kane Marshall who declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 6, each of the other Directors recommends that Shareholders approve the issue of Options under Resolution 6 as the issue of Options is a fundamental factor in the Board’s policy to retain and incentivise Kane Marshall and to align the interests of Kane Marshall with the interests of Shareholders whilst preserving the Company’s cash reserves.
