4. Ratification of Issue of Shares
| Resolution 4 | Ratification of Issue of Shares |
| Explanation | The Company seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for an issue of 2,845,224 fully paid ordinary shares on 25 June 2015. The shares were issued in lieu of fees for services provided by Katia Pty Ltd to 3DM. |
| ASX Listing Rules | ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, issue or agree to issue shares during any 12 month period in excess of 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period without shareholder approval. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, by permitting the ratification of previous issues of shares which were not made under a prescribed exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with shareholder approval, provided that such issues did not breach the 15% threshold set out by Listing Rule 7.1. If shareholders of a company approve the ratification of such previous issues of shares at a general meeting, those shares will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. |
3D Medical Limited | Annual General Meeting 2015
9 | P a g e
| Reason for resolution |
The effect of ratification in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is the reinstatement of the Company’s maximum capacity to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company, if required, in the next 12 months without requiring shareholder approval. The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company that the Directors maintain their ability to issue up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company. The Directors consider it to be appropriate and prudent for approval to be sought at the Annual General Meeting, in respect of the relevant issue of shares made by the Company in the last twelve months. The Directors believe this approval will enhance the Company’s flexibility to finance its operations through raising equity capital, should the Directors consider it to be in the best interests of the Company to do so. In particular, the Directors note that if this approval is not obtained at the Annual General Meeting, the Company may be required to incur additional costs and delay of convening an extraordinary general meeting of the Company if the Directors propose to issue securities which do not fall under an exception to the 15% rule in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. |
|---|---|
| Information required to be provided under the ASX Listing Rules |
As stated above, the Company issued the shares in lieu of fees for services provided to the Company. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, which contains requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to shareholders: No. of shares issued– 2,845,224 Issue price per share– Nil cash consideration; deemed issue price of $0.009 per share Terms of shares– Fully paid ordinary shares ranking pari-passu with other existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.

5. Ratification of Appointment of Auditor
| Resolution 5 | Ratification of Appointment of Auditor |
| Background | Resolution 5 seeks shareholder ratification of the appointment of RSM Bird Carmon Partners (RSM) as auditor of the Company. The Company’s auditor was previously Bentleys Audit & Corporate (WA) Pty Ltd (Bentleys). Bentleys resigned as 3DM’s auditor effective 30 April 2015 with ASIC’s consent, which resulted in a casual vacancy arising in the office of 3DM’s auditor. Section 327C of the Corporations Act provides that a public company may appoint an auditor to fill a casual vacancy, and the Company appointed RSM as its new auditor to fill this vacancy pursuant to section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act. Under sections 327C and 327B(1)(b) of the Corporations Act, an auditor appointed in this manner will hold office until the Company’s next annual general meeting, where the appointment must be approved and confirmed by the Company’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Company seeks this approval and confirmation from shareholders for RSM’s appointment as auditor. RSM has provided to the Company written consent to act as auditor of the Company, in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act. In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, which requires a member of the Company to nominate the auditor, Perco Group Pty Ltd (a shareholder of the Company) has nominated RSM as auditor by way of a notice to 3DM (Notice of Nomination) dated 7 October 2015. A copy of the Notice of Nomination has been provided to RSM, and is attached to this Notice of Meeting. Subject to the Company receiving shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting, RSM’s appointment as auditor of the Company will be formally confirmed and ratified. |

|---|---|
| General | Under Listing Rule 7.1, every listed entity has the ability to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible small and mid-cap ASX-listed entities, subject to shareholder approval, to issue Equity Securities of up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by way of placements over a 12 month period, in addition to its ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (10% Placement Capacity). The Company seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity. The effect of this resolution will be to allow the Directors, subject to the conditions set out below, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 6 is aspecial resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person or by proxy) at the meeting must be in favour of this resolution for it to be passed. |

As at the date of this Notice, the Company, which has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million, is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index. Accordingly, the Company is considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A. |
| Formula | The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined by a formula set out Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as follows: (A x D) - E Where: Ais the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement: plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2; plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months (there are presently no partly paid shares on issue in the Company); plus the number of shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and less the number of shares cancelled in the previous 12 months. ‘A’ has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity Dis 10%. Eis the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. |

- an issue price of $0.088 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 5 October 2015; and
the variable ‘A’ being calculated as the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue on the date of this Notice, being 375,953,825. This assumes that all shares issued by the Company to date are ratified and approved by shareholders under Resolution 4.
The table also shows:
-
(a) two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased by 50% and 100%. The number of shares on issue in the Company may increase as a result of the issue of shares that do not require approval of shareholders (for example, pro-rata entitlement issues or scrip issues under takeover offers) or future placements of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 of up to 15% of issued capital that are approved at future general meetings of shareholders; and
-
(b) two examples of where the issue price of shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100%.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) the Company issues the maximum number of shares available under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
(b) no Options to acquire shares on issue in the Company are exercised;
-
(c) the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue;
-
(d) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder as a result of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
(e) the table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A and not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
3D Medical Limited | Annual General Meeting 2015
14 | P a g e
-
(f) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of shares.
-
(g) the issue price is $0.088, being the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 5 October 2015.
Period of validity
- The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under the Resolution 6 for the issue of the Equity Securities 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).
Reason for issue The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes: of shares under 10% Placement (a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new assets, businesses or Capacity investments, in which event the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
- (b) cash consideration, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s existing and future activities, appraisal of corporate opportunities, investment in new businesses (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of shares under Listing Rule 7.1.A and for general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A 4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
Allocation policy
The Company may not issue any or all the Equity Securities for which approval is given and may issue the Equity Securities progressively as the Company places the Equity Securities with investors.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors such as:
-
fund raising options (and their viability) available to the Company at the relevant time;
-
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation of the Company and the urgency of the requirement for funds; and
-
advice from the Company’s corporate, financial, legal and broking advisers.
The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice. It is intended that the allottees will be suitable professional and sophisticated investors, and other investors not requiring a disclosure document under section 708 of the Corporations Act, that are known to the Company and/or introduced by third parties.
The allottees may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders, but the allottees will not be related parties of the Company.
In the event that the shares under the 10% Placement Capacity are issued as consideration for the acquisition of businesses, assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of such businesses, assets or investments.
