2 Resolutions 1 & 2 – Ratification of Prior issue of Tranche 1 Placement Securities
Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions which seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the prior issue of an aggregate of 34,825,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares and 34,825,000 Tranche 1 Placement Options to Placement Participants (or nominee(s) thereof).
==> picture [14 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [69 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over a twelve (12) month period to fifteen percent (15%) of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company’s fifteen percent (15%) limit under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the
11
twelve (12) month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [69 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 without reducing the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.

4 Resolutions 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) – Approval for Director participation in Placement
Resolutions 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) are ordinary resolutions which seek Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to:
-
2,500,000 Placement Shares and 2,500,000 Placement Options to Mr Robert Scharnell (and/or his nominee(s));
-
2,000,000 Placement Shares and 2,000,000 Placement Options to Mr Adam Sierakowski (and/or his nominee(s));

Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from giving a financial benefit (including an issue of securities) to a Related Party without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the Related Party, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
Mr Scharnell, Mr Sierakowski, Mr Ncube and Mr Bulder (together, the “ Participating Directors ”) are all Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Furthermore, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Securities the Participating Directors (and/or their respective nominee(s)) will constitute the giving of a financial benefit by the Company.
Notwithstanding the above, the Directors consider that the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Securities pursuant to Resolutions 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) would fall within the ‘arm’s length’ exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act given that:
-
the Participating Directors will only be entitled to apply for Tranche 2 Placement Securities under the Placement on the same terms (including the offer price of $0.04 per Share and the Option terms set out in Schedule 1) as those that apply to other Placement Participants who are not Related Parties of the Company;
-
the dilutionary impact on existing Shareholders would be the same irrespective of whether the Tranche 2 Placement Securities are issued to Directors or any other person under the Placement; and
16
- the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Securities to the Directors under the Placement would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company were dealing at arm’s length.
Accordingly, the Directors do not consider that Shareholder approval is required pursuant to Section 208 of the Corporations Act in respect of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Securities to the Participating Directors.
==> picture [15 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [134 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered except in certain limited circumstances.
Section 195(4) further provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a meeting of directors by operation of section 195 of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and that general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.
Each of the Participating Directors may be considered to have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5(a), (b), (c) and (d). If each Participating Director does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) at Board level.
Accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt and as a matter of good corporate governance, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the reliance on the ‘arm’s length’ exception under section 210 of the Corporations Act and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six (6) months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six (6) months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
17
The issue of Tranche 2 Placement Securities to the Participating Directors falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 (a related party) and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Securities under, and for the purposes of, Listing Rule 10.11.
Further, exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2 states that approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.

6.1 Corporations Act Section 208
Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from giving a financial benefit (including an issue of securities) to a Related Party without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the related party or by an associate, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of Director Options to Mr Scharnell (and/or his nominee(s)) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Scharnell is a Related Party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Scharnell, to whom this specific Resolution applies to) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Options to Mr Scharnell, given the arrangement to issue the Director Options is considered to be reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.
6.2 Listing Rule 10.11

The issue of the Director Options to Mr Scharnell falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 (a related party) and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
