EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
TO THE NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Lode Resources Ltd in connection with the business to be put to the Shareholders at the Meeting to be held on Wednesday, 11 December 2024 at 11 am Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) at Level 14, Room 3, 60 Martin Place NSW 2000
Resolution Approval of the Proposed Issue of 34,303,965 Ordinary Shares
Background
In accordance with the placement announced by the Company on 1 November 2024, The Company is proposing to issue 34,303,965 shares at an issue price of $0.10 per share (Tranche 2 Placement)
The Resolution seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 34,303,965 shares to be issued to institutional and sophisticated investors at $0.10 per share, raising approximately $3,430,396.50 before costs.
Regulatory information
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that the Company can issue without the approval of its Shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary Shares it had on issue at the start of that period. The proposed issue of the Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% placement limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares and the Company’s cash reserves will increase by $3,430,396.50 (before costs) in addition to the $1,069,603.50 raise under Tranche 1. In addition, If the Resolution is passed, the issue of these shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval. The issue of the shares will also be excluded in calculating the Company’s additional 10% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively further increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval.
If the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and will not raise $3,430,396.50.
Details of the issue, as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3 are as follows:
| Name of allottees: | Sophisticated and professional investors identified by the Lead Managers Blue |
