Explanatory memorandum to shareholders

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to help shareholders understand the business to be put to shareholders at the forthcoming extraordinary general meeting.

1 Background to the resolutions

1.1 Explanation of capital raising

On 20 November 2012 the Company announced a transformational equity raising via a 1:1 fully underwritten non‐renounceable rights issue (“Entitlement Offer”) to raise approximately $33.5 million and a placement (“Placement”) to raise approximately $3 million. The issue price for shares offered under the Entitlement Offer and Placement was $0.07 (7 cents) per share.

The Entitlement Offer and Placement successfully completed on 24 December 2012.

The net proceeds from the Entitlement Offer and Placement are being used by the Company to increase the equity available for the development of new communities and reduce debt.

Resolution 1 relates to the approval of the issue of options to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd, a related party of the Company by virtue of being controlled by Jim Craig, a director of the Company. At the time the issue of options was agreed Jim Craig was not a director of the Company. The options are proposed to be issued as compensation for services provided by Jim Craig in connection with the capital raising. The proposed issue of options to Bellwether Investments was announced to ASX on 20 November 2012.

1.2 Background to the share consolidation

Compared with its ASX‐listed peers, the Company has a large number of shares on issue relative to its market capitalisation. That fact subjects the Company to a number of disadvantages including:

  • (a) increased share price volatility due to the fact that the minimum movement in share price permitted by the ASX (0.1 cent) represents a higher proportion of the Company’s share price than it would if the Company had a higher share price;

  • (b) negative investor perceptions associated with a low share price; and

  • (c) administrative inconvenience.

The Board believes that, if approved, the Consolidation will assist in eliminating or mitigating these disadvantages, thus making the Company more attractive to potential investors and establishing a share price more appropriate for a listed entity of the Company’s size.

1.3 If shareholders do not approve the Resolutions

If shareholders do not approve:

  • (a) Resolution 1; the Company will be unable to issue options to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd and will be required to pay to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd an amount of $155,500; and

  • (b) Resolution 2; the Company will retain the large number of shares on issue, with the attendant disadvantages as described at section 1.2 above.

1.4 Board recommendations

The Board:

  • (a) other than Mr Jim Craig (who makes no recommendation), recommends that you vote in favour of Resolution 1; and

  • (b) unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of Resolution 2,

for the reasons set out in this Explanatory Memorandum.

  • 2 Resolution 1: issue of options to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd

Approval is sought, for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11, for the issue of 12,500,000 options to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by Mr Jim Craig, a director of the Company.

2.1 Background

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, to allot a total of 12,500,000 options ( Options ) to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd. Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd is controlled by Mr Jim Craig, a director and hence a related party of the Company. Accordingly, Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd is a related party of the Company.

The Company has agreed to pay to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd an amount of $155,500 in compensation if Resolution 1 is not approved.

The grant of Options to Bellwether Investments was agreed by the Company in consideration of the corporate and structuring advice, arranging and bookrunning and sub‐underwriting undertaken by Mr Craig with respect to the Company’s capital raising.

The Options expire five years from their issue and are exercisable at a price of $0.08 per Option (on a pre‐Consolidation basis).

2.2 Regulatory requirements

For the Company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the Company, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the Company’s shareholders in the manner set out in Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months of such approval.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party or a person whose relationship with the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The Company considers that the grant of Options to Bellwether Investments represents compensation payable for services provided by Mr Craig on terms which could be considered reasonable if the parties were dealing at arm’s length. However, in circumstances where approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 in any event, and to avoid any uncertainty regarding the ability to rely on the arm’s length term exception, the Company seeks shareholder approval under both ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and section 208 of the Corporations Act.

2.3 Shareholder approval

In accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Options:

  • (a) The related party to whom Resolution 1 would permit the financial benefit to be given is Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by Mr Jim Craig, a director and hence related party of the Company.

  • (b) The maximum number of Options granted to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd is 12,500,000.

  • (c) The Options will be issued to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd no later than 1 month after the date of this meeting (and in any event before Consolidation occurs).

  • (d) The Options will be issued for nil cash consideration. Accordingly, no funds will be raised.

page 2

  • (e) On a post‐Consolidation basis the Options will convert into 1,250,000 ordinary, fully paid shares in the Company (ie Options will convert into shares on a one‐for‐one basis) at an exercise price of $0.80 per Option for a total exercise price of $1,000,000.

  • (f) If the Options are not issued, the Company will be required to pay to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd an amount of $155,500. This amount is lower than the value of $203,228 ascribed to the Options using the Black Scholes Option Model calculated on 20 November 2012, which was the date on which agreement with Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd was reached to issue the Options (and the date on which the Capital Raising was announced). Bellwether Investments has agreed to forego the difference between the two values in the event that the Company is required to pay the cash amount rather than issue the Options.

  • (g) The value of $203,228 was calculated using the following key assumptions:

  • (1) Volatility of 43%;

  • (2) Risk‐free rate of 2.73%;

  • (3) Term of 5 years from issue;

  • (4) Strike price of $0.80 (on a post‐Consolidation); and

  • (5) Exercise multiple of 1.5 to 2.0 (which assumes a high likelihood that the Options will be exercised in full during their term).

  • (h)

  • The terms and conditions of the Options are set out in section 2.5 below.

  • (i) The Company considers the issue of Options to Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd to be appropriate on the basis of the corporate advisory services provided to the Company by Mr Craig in connection with the capital raising, including assisting with the arranging and bookrunning of the capital raising as well as sub‐underwriting, through a corporate entity, approximately $1.9 million worth of shares under the capital raising. The primary purpose of the issue of Options to Mr Craig is to provide compensation for these services (at what the Company believes could be considered to be arm’s length terms).

  • (j) After issuing the Options, and on a post‐Consolidation basis, Mr Craig will have an interest in 2,750,000 shares and 1,250,000 unlisted options (exercisable at $0.80 each and expiring 5 years from issue).

  • (k) On a post‐Consolidation basis, assuming all of the options on issue are exercised (including the Options), the Company will have a fully diluted share capital of 103,760,341 shares.

  • (l) The market price for the Company’s shares during the term of the Options will determine whether the Options are exercised. If at any time any or all of the Options are exercised and the shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Options there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

  • (m) For the 12 month period prior to the date of this notice, the Company’s shares have traded as high as 10.2 cents and as low as 7.6 cents.

  • 2.4 Board recommendations

  • (a) Mr Craig, by virtue of his interest in the outcome of Resolution 1, declines to make a recommendation to shareholders on the basis that a company he controls, Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd, will be issued the Options if Resolution 1 is approved.

  • (b) Every other director of the Company, except for Mr Craig:

  • (1) recommends that Resolution 1 be approved; and

  • (2) confirms that no other director has an interest in Resolution 1.

  • (c) In forming their recommendations, each director (other than Mr Craig) considered:

  • (1) the services provided to the Company by Mr Craig during the recent capital raising;

  • (2) the experience and skill of Mr Craig as a newly appointed director of the Company;

page 3

  • (3) the current market price of the shares;

  • (4) the current market practice when determining the value of the Options; and

  • (5) the exercise price and expiry date of the Options.

2.5 Terms and conditions of Options

The Options entitle the holder to subscribe for shares on the following terms and conditions:

  • (a) Each Option gives the holder the right to subscribe for one share.

  • (b) Each Option will expire at 5.00pm on the day that is 5 years after their issue, which is expected to be 28 March 2013. An Option not exercised before expiry will automatically lapse on this date.

  • (c) The amount payable upon exercise of each Option will be $0.08 (on a pre‐Consolidation basis) and $0.80 (on a post‐Consolidation basis). On a post‐Consolidation basis a total of 1,250,000 shares will be issued (and $1,000,000 raised by the Company) if all of the Options are exercised.

  • (d) The Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time after their issue and before expiry.

  • (e) The Options are fully transferable.

  • (f) All shares issued on exercise of the Options will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

  • (g) The Company will not apply for quotation of the Options on ASX. However the Company will apply for quotation of all shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options as soon as practicable after their issue.

  • (h) If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.

  • (i) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders during the term of the Options without exercising the Options.

  • (j) In the event that the Company undertakes a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) of shares to shareholders after the date of issue of the Options, the exercise price of the Options will be reduced in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules (and in particular Listing Rule 6.22.2).

  • (k) In the event that the Company undertakes a bonus issue of shares after the date of issue of the Options, the number of shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date of the bonus issue.

3 Resolution 2: consolidation of shares

Approval is sought, for the purposes of section 254H of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes, to convert every 10 ordinary shares in the Company on issue into one share (subject to rounding) in the Company ( Consolidation ) and to effect the Consolidation according to the timetable set out below.

3.1 Regulatory requirements

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number of shares by resolution passed at a general meeting.

Listing Rule 7.20 provides that if an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must advise shareholders of certain matters, which are set out below.

3.2 Effect of the Consolidation on the number of securities

As set out above, the effect of the resolution, if passed, will be to consolidate the Company’s share capital in a ratio of 1 share for every 10 shares held (subject to rounding). Any fractional

page 4

entitlements as a result of holdings not being evenly divisible by 10 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

The Consolidation will apply equally to all shareholders (subject only to the rounding of fractions) and will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of shareholders. The Company’s balance sheet and tax position will not be altered as a result of the Consolidation.

Fully paid ordinary shares

The effect of the Consolidation on fully paid ordinary shares is as follows:

Pre‐Consolidation Post‐Consolidation*
Number on issue 999,703,416 99,970,341

*Subject to rounding. Any fractional entitlements as a result of holdings not being evenly divisible by 10 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Theoretically, the market price per share following the Consolidation should increase to 10 times its current level. The actual effect on the market price per share will depend on a number of factors outside the control of the Company and the market price per share may be higher or lower than the theoretical post‐Consolidation price.

Options

The effect of the Consolidation on options outstanding over unissued shares is as follows:

Options Pre‐Consolidation Post‐Consolidation
Expiry Exercise price Number Exercise Price Number*
24/11/2015 $0.20 150,000 $2.00 15,000
24/11/2015 $0.065 12,750,000 $0.65 1,275,000
28 March 2018^ $0.08 12,500,000 $0.80 1,250,000
28 March 2018# $0.08 12,500,000 $0.80 1,250,000

*Subject to rounding. Any fractional entitlements as a result of holdings not being evenly divisible by 10 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

^ 5 year options to be issued to GMH Services Pty Ltd as disclosed in the Company’s announcement of 20 November 2012.

Assumes Resolution 1 is approved.

Taxation implications

Shareholders and option holders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation. Neither the Company, the directors nor the Company’s advisors accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.

3.3 Proposed timetable for Consolidation

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2, either by attending the meetings in person or by ticking the box marked “For” and submitting your proxy form in accordance with the instructions in the Notice of Meeting.

For the reasons set out above, the directors of the Company believe that the Consolidation is fair and reasonable to shareholders as a whole and that it is in the best interests of the Company.

4 Voting exclusions

The Company will disregard any votes cast:

  • (a) On Resolution 1 by:

  • (1) Bellwether Investments Pty Ltd, Mr Jim Craig and any associate of either of them; and

  • (2) any person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity as an ordinary shareholder, if the resolution is passed.

  • (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

page 6

  • it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

 it is cast by the person chairing the Company’s general meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

There are no voting exclusions in respect of Resolution 2.

5 Resolutions

To validly pass an ordinary resolution, more than 50% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution must be in favour of the resolution.

6 Proxy voting information

You can vote by either:

  • attending the meeting and voting in person or, if you are a corporate member, by corporate representative voting for you; or

  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote for you, using the enclosed voting and proxy form.

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

  • 2 directors of the company; or

  • 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.

If a person who executes the document or witnesses the affixing of a common seal is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company, he or she must state that next to his or her signature.

7 Voting in person

If you plan to attend the meeting, we ask that you arrive at the meeting venue at least 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the meeting so that we may check your security holding against our register of members and note your attendance.

8 Voting by corporate representative

If a corporate member plans to attend, it must appoint a person to act as its representative and the appointed person must bring appropriate written evidence of the appointment to the meeting signed under the corporation’s common seal or under the hand of an officer, attorney or other person authorised by the corporation to sign in accordance with the provisions of section 127 of the Corporations Act.

9 Voting by proxy

If you do not intend to attend the meeting and are entitled to vote on the resolutions, you may select a representative or the chairman of the meeting to act as your proxy to attend and vote for you. A representative may be a natural person or a body corporate. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.

page 7

Your proxy can be appointed in respect of some or all of your votes. If you are entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the meeting you may appoint 2 proxies each to represent a specified proportion of your voting rights.

Your proxy will also have the right to speak at the meeting and demand a poll.

You can use the attached proxy form to appoint a proxy. A reply paid envelope has also been included with the Notice of Meeting for return of the proxy form.

Should you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it:

  • appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at meetings, in accordance with applicable company law; and

  • provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the meeting.

If such evidence is not received prior to the commencement of the meeting, then the body corporate (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as your proxy.

If the voting and proxy form is signed by an attorney or authorised person, a certified copy of the power of attorney or other document signed by or on behalf of the member detailing the person’s authority must be provided prior to the commencement of the meeting.

Completion of a proxy form will not prevent individual members from attending the meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the meeting in person and votes on a resolution, the proxy is not entitled to vote, and must not vote, on the resolution.

10 How will my proxy vote?

You can direct your proxy how to vote using the proxy form. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes.

If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote, or abstain from voting, as he or she chooses.

If you mark the “abstain” box for a particular item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on your behalf on a show of hands or on a poll, and your vote will not be counted in computing the required majority on a poll.

If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

The chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each of the items of business on the notice of meeting.

Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of new sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act that took effect on 1 July 2011.

Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the chairman, who must vote the proxies as directed.

11 Instructions for Nominee holders

Nominee holders are advised that if they are instructed to vote on behalf of beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold shares they must provide, with their proxy form or on a poll, to the Company’s registered office or corporate registry (Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited) a
