3. Resolution – Spin-out of the Chilalo Graphite Project

3.1 Background

In July 2020, the Company obtained shareholder approval for the acquisition of an earn-in and joint venture interest in respect of the Lakanfla and Tabakorole gold exploration projects in Mali, following which the Company increased its landholdings through incremental tenure acquisitions and joint venture and option arrangements over gold exploration projects ( Mali Gold Projects ).

At that time, Marvel also restructured its financing arrangements with the Lender, which were entered into in connection with the advancement of its Chilalo Graphite Project in Tanzania ( Chilalo Graphite Project ). Under those financing arrangements, the Lender is currently owed approximately $9.5 million ( Loan Note Debt ), which is, in effect, secured against the Chilalo Graphite Project and repayable on 29 October 2022.

Marvel currently holds earn-in and joint venture interests in the Mali Gold Projects and 100% of the Chilalo Graphite Project, as represented in the following corporate structure diagram (which includes a newly incorporated public company, Evolution Materials Limited (to be renamed Evolution Energy Minerals Limited) ( Evolution ), wholly-owned by Marvel):

Page 6

==> picture [468 x 261] intentionally omitted <==

3.2 Proposed Spin-out Transaction

In order to realise value for the Chilalo Graphite Project with a view to repaying the Loan Note Debt, Marvel is proposing to undertake a “spin-out” of the Chilalo Graphite Project by way of:

  • 1 an internal corporate restructure involving the acquisition of the Chilalo Graphite Project by Evolution; and

  • 2 the issue by Evolution of Evolution Shares (and, if any, Evolution Options) to investors ( IPO Investors ) as part of an initial public offering and listing on ASX ( IPO ),

(the internal corporate restructure and the IPO together comprising the Proposed Spin-out Transaction ).

Internal corporate restructure

Marvel has incorporated Evolution and Evolution Energy Holdings Pty Ltd ( Evolution HoldCo ) as Australian companies for the purpose of undertaking an internal restructure, following which Evolution will hold (indirectly) all of Marvel’s interests in the Chilalo Graphite Project.

To give effect to the internal restructure and to facilitate the Proposed Spin-out Transaction, Marvel and Evolution will enter into a share exchange agreement pursuant to which Marvel will transfer the Chilalo Graphite Project to Evolution ( Share Exchange Agreement ).

Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement:

  • (a) Marvel will transfer all of the shares it holds in Graphex Mining UK No.1 Limited to Evolution HoldCo, after which Marvel will transfer all of the shares it holds in Evolution HoldCo to Evolution, following which Ngwena Tanzania Limited

Page 7

(the holder of the Chilalo Graphite Project) will become an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of Evolution; and

  • (b) Evolution will issue to Marvel a to-be-determined number of Evolution Shares (the number of Evolution Shares will be determined by reference to the valuation attributed to the Chilalo Graphite Project in the lead-up to the IPO but, in any event, is expected to be a number that falls within the percentage ownership range set out in the “Indicative capital structure” table below in this Section 3.2).

Completion under the Share Exchange Agreement will occur prior to the issue of the IPO prospectus, provided that the Resolution is approved by Shareholders.

Under the Share Exchange Agreement, Marvel will have the right to appoint one director to the board of Evolution (for so long as Marvel holds 10% or more of all Evolution Shares or for 1 year post ASX listing of Evolution, whichever is the longer period) and the parties will agree to a customary ‘wrong pockets’ clause with a view to facilitating the separation of Marvel and Evolution.

On completion of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Marvel corporate group will be as follows:

==> picture [409 x 343] intentionally omitted <==

IPO and proposed use of proceeds

Marvel is currently targeting an IPO to raise a minimum of $13 million (before costs), with the potential to accept over-subscriptions.

Marvel and Evolution are working towards the IPO being underwritten, but at the date of this Notice no lead manager or underwriting arrangements have been confirmed.

Page 8

On a $13 million raising (before costs) by Evolution:

  • $6.5 million will be applied to the repayment of Loan Note Debt, resulting in the outstanding Loan Note Debt being reduced to $3 million (prior to conversion to Evolution Shares – see Section 3.3); and

  • $6.5 million (before costs) will be available to Evolution for the advancement of the Chilalo Graphite Project and for working capital purposes.

It is anticipated that proceeds from over-subscriptions under the IPO (if any) will be applied, as a priority, to further pay down the Loan Note Debt in cash.

Indicative capital structure

Evolution’s capital structure on completion of the Proposed Spin-out Transaction remains subject to confirmation of (i) the valuation to be ascribed to the Chilalo Graphite Project (to be agreed between Evolution and Marvel) and (ii) the amount of capital to be raised by Evolution as part of the proposed IPO. Subject to the confirmation of these variables, Evolution’s indicative capital structure (on the basis of a minimum raising (before costs) of $13 million, or potential higher raisings of $16 million and $20 million, both of which would result in the Loan Note Debt being fully repaid in cash) is set out below. All figures in the following table are indicative only and subject to change:

The indicative capital structure outlined above should be read subject to the following matters:

  • The ranges outlined take into account currently anticipated valuation ranges for the Chilalo Graphite Project of $17.5 million – $21.5 million. However, if market conditions change or the minimum anticipated valuation is not ultimately supported in the IPO, Marvel’s holding of Evolution Shares may be less than what is represented in the table above.

  • If more than $13 million and less than $16 million is raised under the IPO (before costs), the Lender is entitled to receive a cash payment (in lieu of Evolution Shares) by way of repayment of the $3 million balance of the Loan Note Debt. Refer to Section 3.3.

Page 9

  • The indicative capital structure is presented on an undiluted basis, prior to any dilutionary impact that may arise from the future issue of Evolution Shares, including in connection with the following:

  • (i) any Evolution Options offered to investors in connection with the IPO;

  • (ii) Evolution Shares and/or Evolution Options that may be issued to a lead manager or underwriter under the IPO – these arrangements are yet to be finalised; and

  • (iii) the issue of Evolution Options that may be issued by way of equity incentives to Evolution personnel (executives and directors) - these arrangements are yet to be finalised.

  • On completion of the Proposed Spin-out Transaction, the Marvel and Evolution corporate groups will be as follows (on an undiluted basis):

==> picture [468 x 311] intentionally omitted <==

3.3 Lender arrangements

The Lender has consented to Marvel progressing the Proposed Spin-out Transaction, and has agreed for its security arrangements to be released and then effectively assumed by Evolution HoldCo in consideration for Evolution:

  • (a) applying $6.5 million of the funds raised under the IPO toward repayment of the Loan Note Debt; and

  • (b) issuing Evolution Shares to the Lender to the value of $3 million (at the IPO price),

such that the Loan Note Debt will be reduced to nil (and all security held by the Lender will be released) on completion of the Proposed Spin-out Transaction.

Page 10

If more than $13 million (before costs) is raised under the IPO, unless Evolution and the Lender agree otherwise, the Lender will be paid $1 cash for every $1 raised under the IPO in excess of $13 million, resulting in an equivalent reduction of the obligation to issue Evolution Shares to the Lender. If, for example, $16 million (before costs) is raised under the IPO, no Evolution Shares will be issued to the Lender and the Loan Note Debt will be fully repaid in cash from the proceeds of the IPO.

The Lender has also agreed to a pause in the accumulation of interest on the Loan Note Debt, with effect from 16 February 2021 ( Interest Pause Date ), subject to the IPO being completed by 15 August 2021.

Evolution has granted the Lender the right to appoint one director to the board of Evolution for so long as the Lender (and its affiliates) holds 10% or more of all Evolution Shares.

If the IPO is not completed by 15 August 2021, the Loan Note Debt that remains outstanding at that time will remain payable, the Lender’s security will remain in place and interest accruals (with effect from the Interest Pause Date) will resume.

3.4 Potential cornerstone investor

The Company and Evolution are in discussions with institutional investors regarding the potential for cornerstone participation in the IPO. If these discussions are successfully concluded, it may result in one or more investors “corner-stoning” the IPO, and securing a substantial shareholding (potentially of up to approximately 25%) in Evolution.

3.5 IPO of Evolution and Priority Offer to Marvel shareholders

Intention to undertake IPO

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and ASX guidance, the Company provides Shareholders with information regarding Evolution’s intention to undertake the IPO to facilitate admission to the official list of the ASX. However, Shareholders are advised that Evolution is only in the preliminary stages of the IPO process and all information provided in this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice regarding the IPO and ASX admission plans is indicative only and, accordingly, is subject to change.

As at the date of this Notice, Evolution proposes to conduct the IPO with a view to

listing on ASX by not later than July 2021.

The funds raised under the IPO are expected to be used to repay not less than $6.5 million of the Loan Note Debt, to fund expenditure associated with the advancement of the Chilalo Graphite Project, for working capital as an ASX listed entity (including to cover the costs of the Proposed Spin-out Transaction), and (to the extent possible as a result of subscriptions above the proposed $13 million minimum raising) make a cash payment to the Lender on account of the $3 million balance of the Loan Note Debt.

Priority Offer

Shareholders who are eligible (being Shareholders in Australia and in such other overseas jurisdictions as Evolution will determine) ( Eligible Marvel Shareholders ) will be given the priority opportunity to participate in the IPO of Evolution ( Priority Offer ), up to an aggregate value of $2 million ( Priority Offer ). If Shareholders were to subscribe for the full value available under the Priority Offer, Shareholders would collectively hold between approximately 6% and 7% of Evolution post IPO (on an

Page 11

undiluted basis, based on a raising of between $13 million and $20 million (before costs)).

To the extent that demand under the Priority Offer exceeds $2 million, Evolution will:

  • ensure all Eligible Marvel Shareholders that apply receive a $2,000 parcel of Evolution Shares (even if this means the aggregate value of the Priority Offer will exceed $2 million);[1]

  • allocate Evolution Shares under the Priority Offer taking into account the relative value of Evolution Shares applied for and the relative value of the Eligible Marvel Shareholders’ holdings of shares in Marvel at the Record Date; and

  • treat an application received from an Eligible Marvel Shareholder that is not fully satisfied under the Priority Offer as an application under the general IPO offer.

Other matters

An in-specie distribution to Shareholders of Evolution Shares held by the Company is not currently being proposed in connection with the Proposed Spin-out Transaction. However, the Board is considering this possibility, amongst the other options available to it, and may in the future seek shareholder approval to pursue an in-specie distribution of some or all of the Evolution Shares that Marvel ultimately holds following the IPO.

If the IPO proceeds, it will be undertaken by Evolution. Evolution will be the issuer of Evolution Shares (and, if any, Evolution Options) under the IPO, and a prospectus for the offer of such securities will be issued by Evolution. Anyone wishing to participate in the IPO, including Marvel Shareholders under the proposed priority offer, will need to complete an application form that will accompany the IPO prospectus.

3.6 Indicative timetable

The Proposed Spin-out Transaction is currently expected to proceed in accordance with the following indicative timetable:

Event Date
Despatch Notice of Meeting 11 May2021
Evolution lodgesprospectus with ASIC and ASX June 2021
General Meeting to approve the Spin-Out of the Chilalo
Graphite Project
11 June 2021
IPO closingdate July2021
Issue of Evolution Shares pursuant to IPO, commencement

July 2021

Note : these dates are indicative only and are subject to change.

3.7 Summary of Listing Rule 11.4.1(b)

Under Listing Rules 11.4 and 11.4.1, a listed company can only spin out a major asset if:

1 Subject to Evolution exercising its discretion where there is evidence or suspicion of manipulation.

Page 12

  • (a) the securities in the spin-out vehicle (other than those being retained by the company itself) are being offered, issued or transferred pro rata to the holders of the ordinary shares in the Company, or in another way that, in ASX’s opinion, is fair in all the circumstances; or

  • (b) the Company’s shareholders approve the spin-out.

The Proposed Spin-out Transaction (and each of its parts, being the internal corporate restructure and the IPO) is regarded as a spin-out of a major asset for these purposes and paragraph (a) above does not apply, so it is a pre-condition to the Proposed Spinout Transaction proceeding that Shareholders approve the Proposed Spin-out Transaction under paragraph (b) above.

The Resolution is an ordinary resolution seeking Shareholder approval for the Proposed Spin-out Transaction under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 11.4.1(b). The Resolution will be passed if it is approved by a simple majority of Shares voted.

If the Resolution is passed:

  • (a) Marvel will proceed with the Proposed Spin-out Transaction with a view to focussing exclusively on its Mali Gold Projects; and

  • (b) Evolution will progress the IPO.

If the Resolution is not passed, Marvel will:

  • (a) continue to advance its Mali Gold Projects;

  • (b) not be able to proceed with the Proposed Spin-out Transaction in its currently proposed form;

  • (c) investigate other opportunities to source funds for the repayment of the Loan Note Debt (which is repayable on 29 October 2022); and

  • (d) have an increasing obligation to the Lender as interest on the Loan Note Debt will resume accruing.

3.8 Chilalo Graphite Project

The Chilalo Graphite Project is located in south-eastern Tanzania, East Africa, 100 km north of the border with Mozambique, approximately 180 km west of the coastal port city of Mtwara on the Indian Ocean and 400 km south of Tanzania’s largest city, Dar es Salaam as shown in Figure 1. The property is situated in the Ruangwa District of the Lindi Region.

  • The Mineral Resource was estimated within constraining wireframe solids using a core high-grade domain defined above a nominal 5% TGC cut-off within a surrounding low-grade zone defined above a nominal 2% TGC cut-off. The resource is quoted from all classified blocks above a lower cut-off of 2% TGC within these wireframe solids. Differences may occur due to rounding.

A definitive feasibility study was completed by Marvel in January 2020 ( DFS ) and announced to the ASX on 29 January 2020.

Extensive testwork has confirmed that Chilalo product:

  • (a) produces a very high proportion of coarse flake graphite at target purity levels;

  • (b) is capable of achieving a purity level of >99% Loss on Ignition (LOI) through standard flotation with no chemical intervention (not commercially available in current global graphite market); and

  • (c) is suitable for a multitude of high-value applications.

The DFS positioned the Chilalo Graphite Project as the basis for a vertically integrated manufacturer of high-value graphite products, as opposed to a graphite mining company.

3.9 Value of the Chilalo Graphite Project

Value of the Chilalo Graphite Project

The Chilalo Graphite Project had a carrying value of $5 million in Marvel’s half-year financial statements (as at 31 December 2020). In accordance with Marvel’s accounting policies, this value represents the cost of acquisition which was capitalised, whereas ongoing exploration and project development expenditure since acquisition has been expensed through the Profit and Loss account.

Estimated current market value of the Chilalo Graphite Project

There are a number of ways to measure the market value of a mineral deposit or resources project, depending on its stage of development, including:

  • Historical cost method – This method is generally used for earlier stage assets. Marvel has spent approximately $21 million on the Chilalo Graphite Project.

  • “See-through” value method – This method can be used to ascribe a value for the assets within Marvel’s market capitalisation of (as at 30 April 2021)

3 The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the announcement of the Chilalo Graphite Project Ore Reserve estimate on 29 January 2020 and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Ore Reserve in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Page 15

approximately $27 million. Adjusting for the Loan Note Debt of $9.5 million and estimated cash of $3.2 million, the market is impliedly valuing Marvel’s assets at $33.3 million. If, for illustrative purposes only, a value of $25 million were to be ascribed or allocated to the Mali Gold Projects (by the market or by reference to some other objective valuation metric), this would imply that the market is currently valuing the Chilalo Graphite Project at $8.3 million. The Company’s belief that, for a variety of reasons, the full value of Chilalo is not being reflected in Marvel’s share price has contributed to the Board’s decision to pursue the Proposed Spin-out Transaction.

  • The Mali Gold Projects were acquired by Marvel in July 2020. These figures are based on Marvel’s half yearly report (as at, and for the 6 month period ending on, 31 December 2020) to reflect the impact of the Proposed Spin-Out Transaction on Marvel as a holder of an interest in the Mali Gold Projects and the Chilalo Graphite Project.

The impact to revenue, EBITDA and profit metrics of the Proposed Spin-out Transaction have not been presented given the absence of revenue from the Chilalo Graphite Project operations.

3.11 Impact of Proposed Spin-out Transaction on Shareholders

The Directors have assessed the advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Spinout Transaction (as set out below) and are of the view that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Accordingly, the Directors believe the Proposed Spin-out Transaction is in the best interests of the Company.

Advantages

(a) ( Repayment of Loan Note Debt ) completion of the Proposed Spin-out Transaction will result in the Loan Note Debt being repaid in full.

Page 16

  • (b) ( Mali Gold Projects ) the Proposed Spin-out Transaction will permit the Company to devote more attention and resources to the Mali Gold Projects, which the Company considers to be its core business with potential to generate future returns for Shareholders.

  • (c) ( Retain exposure to Chilalo Graphite Project ) the Company will retain a substantial interest in Evolution following the completion of the Proposed Spin-out Transaction, allowing the Company to retain exposure to the future upside in the Chilalo Graphite Project. Marvel will retain influence over Evolution by having the right to appoint a nominee director to the Evolution Board for a period of 1 year following the Proposed Spin-out Transaction (and thereafter for so long as it continues to hold 10% of more of all Evolution Shares).

  • (d) ( No dilution to Shareholders ) the Proposed Spin-out Transaction will not have any dilutionary effect on the Shareholders (in terms of Marvel’s capital) as the Company is not issuing any securities in connection with the Proposed Transaction.

  • (e) ( No taxation effects on Shareholders ) the Company does not expect the Proposed Spin-out Transaction will have any adverse tax ramifications for Shareholders as it is occurring at the corporate level.

Disadvantages

  • (a) ( Reduced exposure to Chilalo Graphite Project ) the Company will no longer hold a 100% interest in the Chilalo Graphite Project, though the Company will retain a substantial economic exposure to the asset.

  • (b) ( Conditional IPO ) a listing on the ASX is subject to various regulatory requirements and conditions. There is no guarantee that the IPO will be successful and/or that Shareholders will ultimately have the opportunity to participate in the IPO, or if Shareholders do participate that they will realise value in any Evolution Shares acquired through the IPO.

  • (c) ( Costs ) The Company will incur costs (including legal, accounting and advisory costs) in giving effect to the Proposed Spin-out Transaction. In addition, if the Proposed Spin-out Transaction is implemented, 2 separate ASX-listed corporate groups will exist which will involve some duplication of administrative costs.

3.12 Directors’ recommendation

After due consideration of the advantages and disadvantages set out above, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

4. Enquiries
