8

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Shares under the Capital Raising:

  • (d) the Shares will first be offered to existing Shareholders pursuant to the Priority Offer and the Top Up Offer. To the extent that the number of Shares applied for under the Priority Offer and Top Up Offer is less than 50,000,000, the remaining Shares shall form part of the Public Offer. The Directors, in conjunction with CPS, will determine to whom the Shares will be issued under the Public Offer but these persons will not be related parties of the Company.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES UNDER THE CAPITAL RAISING -GEORGE LAZAROU AND DAVID SUMICH

3.1 General

Pursuant to Resolution 1 the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 83,333,333 Shares (including oversubscriptions) at an issue price of $0.03 per Share to raise up to $2,500,000 under the Capital Raising.

George Lazarou and David Sumich wish to participate in the Priority Offer component of the Capital Raising.

Resolutions 2 and 3 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of up to:

  • (a) 474,757 Shares to George Lazarou (or his nominee); and

  • (b) 2,088,000 Shares to David Sumich (or his nominee),

9

(together, the Related Party Shares) arising from the participation by George Lazarou and David Sumich in the Priority Offer component of the Capital Raising (Participation).

3.2 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 sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Participation will result in the issue of the Related Party Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and George Lazarou and David Sumich are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than George Lazarou and David Sumich who have material personal interests in Resolutions 2 and 3) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Related Party Shares will be issued to George Lazarou and David Sumich on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants under the Capital Raising and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

3.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

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 entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the Participation involves the issue of Shares to related parties of the Company (being Directors George Lazarou and David Sumich), Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

3.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Participation:

  • (a) the Related Party Shares will be issued to George Lazarou and David Sumich (or their respective nominees);

  • (b) the maximum number of Related Party Shares to be issued is:

  • (i) 474,757 Related Party Shares to George Lazarou; and

  • (ii) 2,088,000 Related Party Shares to David Sumich;

10

  • (c) the Related Party Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Related Party Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (d) the issue price will be $0.03 per Related Party Share, being the same as all other Shares issued under the Capital Raising;

  • (e) the Related Party Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Capital Raising as set out in section 2.2(f) of this Explanatory Statement.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Participation as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to George Lazarou and David Sumich (or their respective nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

However, by way of a letter agreement dated 1 July 2013, the parties agreed to defer the Cash Payment until such time as the Company completed a capital raising of at least $2,000,000.

On 12 December 2013, the Company and Gains entered into a second variation letter (Variation Letter) pursuant to which they agreed that the Company’s obligation to make the Cash Payment would be fully discharged in consideration for the Company agreeing to the following:

  • (a) within 10 days of completing the Pilbara Acquisition:

9. RESOLUTION 9 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO GAINS ADVISORS LIMITED

9.1 General

Pursuant to the Facilitation Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Gains 7,000,000 Shares (Milestone Shares) within 18 months from the date of execution of the Facilitation Agreement upon Volta Iron attaining an iron exploration target on the project (as defined under the JORC Code) of 500mT or more at no less than 30% Fe (Milestone Target).

16

The issue of the Milestone Shares was subject to, among other conditions, receipt of shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue. Approval for the issue of the Milestone Shares was obtained at the Company’s annual general meeting for the year ended 31 December 2013 (2013 AGM) but the Milestone Shares were not issued during the period of 3 months after the date of the 2013 AGM, as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3.2.

As such, Resolution 9 again seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Milestone Shares to Gains under the Facilitation Agreement.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 2.1 above.

Further, and as noted above, ASX Listing Rule 7.3.2 provides that for Shareholders to approve an issue of equity securities, this Notice must include the date by which the Company will issue the securities, such date being no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

The Company anticipates that it will issue the Milestone Shares within the period of 3 months after the Meeting, subject to the achievement of the Milestone Target. In the event the Milestone Target is not achieved within the 3 month period, the Company will re-seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Milestone Shares at a later date.

Gains will not be issued the Milestone Shares to the extent that the issue will cause Gains’ voting power in the Company to increase above 20%. Further Shareholder approval, in accordance with Item 7 of Section 611 of the Corporations Act, will be needed if the issue of all of the Milestone Shares will take Gains over the 20% voting power threshold.

The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Company to issue the Milestone Shares without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

  • (e) the Milestone Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and
