The LTI Performance Rights will not entitle Mr Corbett to receive dividends on Shares before vesting nor will they carry any voting rights.
‘egulato�� �e�ui�e�e�ts – ‘esolutio� �
Listing Rule 10.14 generally provides that the approval of shareholders is required before a director of a company can acquire securities issued under an employee incentive scheme.

Listing Rule 10.15 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting requesting Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14. In accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following further information is provided with respect to Resolution 3:

The grant of the LTI Performance Rights will confer a financial benefit on Mr Corbett. However, Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of the related party benefit provisions of the Corporations Act (particularly section 208 of the Corporations Act) on the basis that the benefit is considered to constitute reasonable remuneration and, therefore, the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. Section 211 provides that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 in circumstances where the benefit �o�stitutes �e�u�e�atio� �hi�h �ould �e �easo�a�le gi�e� the Co�pa��’s a�d the �elated pa�t�’s circumstances.

‘egulato�� �e�ui�e�e�ts – ‘esolutio� �
Listing Rule 10.11 generally provides that Directors may not be issued any securities in the Company without the approval of Shareholders.

4. Resolution 5 - Approval of issue of Equity Securities for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the ability to issue Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
Overview
Listing Rule 7.1A was introduced on 1 August 2012 and allows mid to small cap listed entities to seek Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities equivalent to an additional 10% of the number of ordinary securities on issue by way of placements over a 12 month period ( 10% Placement Capacity ). This is in addition to the 15% permitted 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 at the time of the AGM. The Company is currently an eligible entity for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1A. The Board expects that the Company will be an eligible entity as at the date of the AGM. However, if the Company is not eligible, Resolution 4 will be withdrawn.
Shareholder Approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is subject to Shareholder approval by way of special �esolutio� at AGM. App�o�al �a��ot �e sought at a�� othe� “ha�eholde�’s �eeti�g a�d E�uit� “e�u�ities issued under the approval (if obtained) must be issued within 12 months after the date of the AGM.
No Equity Securities can be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A before the special resolution is passed. However, if a Listing Rule 7.1A approval has been obtained, securities issued under that rule may be subsequently ratified by “ha�eholde�s i� a��o�da��e �ith Listi�g Rule �.� to ��ef�esh� a� e�tit�’s Listi�g Rule �.�A additio�al ��% placement capacity.
Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued by the Company under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
As at the date of the Notice the Company has only one class of Equity Securities on issue being Shares.
Formula for calculating the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities during the 12-month period after the date of approval calculated in accordance with the following formula as contained in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of fully paid ordinary Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:
8
-
plus the number of fully ordinary Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary Shares cancelled in the 12 months.
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 approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
Additional Disclosure
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Capacity:
- Minimum issue price
The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Co�pa��’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
the date on which the Equity Securities are to be issued; or
-
the date on which the price of the Equity Securities is agreed, provided that the issue is then completed within 5 Business Days.
-
Risk of dilution
If the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, there is a risk that the economic and voting power of existing Shareholders will be diluted.
There is also a risk that:
-
the �a�ket p�i�e fo� the Co�pa��’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than the date of approval at the AGM; and
-
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.
The below table shows the risk of dilution to existing Shareholders if the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity on the basis of:
-
the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares calculated in accordance with Listi�g Rule �.�A��� �a�ia�le �A�;
-
a 50% decrease in the current market price of Shares and a 50% increase in the current number of “ha�es �al�ulated i� a��o�da��e �ith Listi�g Rule �.�A��� �a�ia�le �A�; a�d
-
a 100% increase in the current market price of Shares and a 100% increase in the current number of “ha�es �al�ulated i� a��o�da��e �ith Listi�g Rule �.�A��� �a�ia�le �A�.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The table does not show any examples of the dilution that may be caused to a specific Shareholder �ased o� that “ha�eholde�’s holdi�g at the date of the AGM.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
The table only shows the effect of issues under Listing Rule 7.1A and does not consider the effect of any issues under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 during the 12 month period or any other issues.
-
The Issue Price of the Shares is $0.24, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 11 October 2016.
Final issue date
The final date that the Company can issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity is 12 months from the date of the AGM, being 29 November 2017.
The approval under Resolution 4 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).
Purpose of the issue
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
cash consideration to be applied to the acquisition of new investments, expenditure associated with exploration, drilling, development of the Co�pa��’s e�isti�g asset �ase in Western Australia and Northern Territory; or
-
non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets or investments.
If the Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will release to the market a valuation of the non-cash consideration which demonstrates that the issue price of the securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
Allocation policy
The Co�pa��’s allo�atio� poli�� fo� the issue of E�uit� “e�u�ities pu�sua�t to the ��% Placement Capacity is largely dependent on the prevailing market conditions and the circumstances of the Company at the time of any proposed issue. The time frame over the 12-month period which the Company expects to make placements under the Resolution 4 approval therefore cannot yet be accurately determined.
As at the date of the Notice the Company has not formed an intention to issue securities under a placement pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A to any particular party. The Company may approach existing Shareholders, a class or group of existing Shareholders, or new investors who have not previously been Shareholders to participate in a placement of Equity Securities.
When determining to issue the 10% Placement Capacity securities the Company will have regard to a range of factors including but not limited to:
-
the effect of the issue of Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial circumstances of the Company;
-
whether the raising of funds could be carried out by means of a pro-rata entitlements offer or other similar issue to allow existing Shareholders to participate;
-
ad�i�e f�o� the Co�pa��’s �o�po�ate, fi�a��ial a�d p�ofessio�al ad�iso�s;
-
whether a placement of Equity Securities to a vendor(s) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets or investments is the best alternative for the Company.
