EXPLANATORY NOTES
These Explanatory Notes have been prepared for the shareholders of Metgasco Limited to provide information about the items of business to be considered at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders to be held on Tuesday 13 November 2012.
With the exception of Resolution 1 and Resolution 6, all of the resolutions to be voted on are ordinary resolutions. Resolution 1 is a non-binding resolution and Resolution 6 is a Special Resolution. An ordinary resolution requires a simple majority of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution in order for it to be carried. A special resolution requires 75% of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution to vote in favour of the resolution in order for it to be carried.
If appropriate, and if time permits, the Chairman will discuss significant issues raised by shareholders prior to the meeting and will invite questions and comments from shareholders on these key issues and any other matters relevant to the business that shareholders would like to raise at the meeting.
In addition, a reasonable opportunity will be given to members present at the meeting to ask the Company's auditor, Grant Thornton, questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the auditor. If you would like to submit a written question to Grant Thornton before the Meeting on any of the foregoing matters, please send your question to the Company Secretary, Nick Geddes, at [email protected] before 6 November 2012.
If you have a more general issue or question that you would like discussed at the Meeting, please write to the Company Secretary, Nick Geddes, at the above address.
How will the Chairman vote as proxy if the Shareholder has not directed the Chairman to vote?
The Chairman intends to vote in favour of all Resolutions. If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting as proxy and does not direct the Chairman how to vote on a Resolution then, if that Shareholder is entitled to vote on that Resolution, the Chairman will vote in favour of that Resolution.
Resolution 1 - Adoption of the Remuneration Report
Consistent with section 250R of the Corporations Act, the Company submits to shareholders for consideration and adoption, by way of a non-binding resolution, its Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2012.
The Remuneration Report is a distinct section of the annual Directors' Report which deals with the remuneration of Directors and executives (which includes senior management) of the Company. The Remuneration Report can be located in the Company's Annual Report on pages 8 to 13. The annual report is available online at www.metgasco.com.au under "Investors and Media".
The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its directors. However, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders at the meeting on the remuneration report when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies. If 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a "spill resolution") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's directors (other than the Managing Director/CEO) must stand for reelection. The Company encourages all shareholders to vote on Resolution 1 (Adoption of Remuneration Report).
The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not directed the Chairman how to vote on Resolution 1 by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention.
Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Leonard Gill as a Director
Pursuant to the Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, Mr Gill will retire by rotation and seeks re-election.
Mr Gill has over 30 years experience in the Australian energy industry with a focus on power generation, energy trading and risk management and energy retailing to large customers. He was previously Chief Executive Officer of TXU Australia (now TRUenergy) and led their wholesale energy division for five years, with responsibilities including power generation, gas storage and gas and electricity contracting and trading.
The Board supports the re-election of Mr Gill.
Resolution 3 – Appointment of Auditor
The Company's auditors, BDO Audit (NSW-VIC) Pty Ltd, have resigned. Pursuant to section 327C of the Corporations Act 2001, the Company must appoint an auditor to fill the vacancy. Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd have consented to act as auditors of the Company should they be appointed at this meeting. A copy of a nomination letter from a shareholder is attached.
Resolution 4 - Approval to issue shares to Mr Peter Henderson in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11
The Board is recommending that Members approve the grant of a total of 1,352,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company to Peter Henderson or his nominee as follows:
- 368,727 shares as part of the Short Term Incentive scheme; and
- 983,273 shares as part of the Long Term Incentive scheme.
The proposed grant of 1,352,000 fully paid ordinary shares is in lieu of cash payments. The Short Term Incentive shares were granted by the Board on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee as a bonus based on recent performance and can be traded immediately on issue. The Long Term Incentive shares are subject to a three year trading lock (or "restricted period") until 23 August 2015 as they were issued as a retention incentive to Mr Henderson.
The issue of shares to Mr Henderson is subject to Shareholder approval and will be priced at a valuation of \$0.22 per share on that date in line with the previous 30 days VWAP closing on 23 August 2012. The terms on which the Long Term Incentive shares will be issued contain the follow restrictions:
-
- They will be forfeited if Mr Henderson leaves the Company between the date of issue and the end of the restricted period ; and
-
- The share price of Metgasco must reach a VWAP of \$0.35 per share or more during any period of 30 days commencing immediately after the date of issue and the end of the restricted period.
In the event that the Company is subject to a change of control the event of change of control will be deemed to be the end of the restricted period.
If approved, Mr Henderson will not be required to pay cash consideration for the Shares but the Shares will comprise a component of Mr Henderson's remuneration. Remunerating directors in this manner reduces the cash cost to the Company and aligns the reward to senior management with those to shareholders.
As Mr Henderson is a Director of the Company, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval for the proposed issue of shares. If shareholder approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the shares will be issued within one month of the meeting at nil consideration. The shares will rank equally with existing shares on issue in the Company save for the trading lock described above. No funds will be raised for the issue of these shares.
If Shareholders approve the issue of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 so that the Shares would not be taken into account in determining whether a future share issue will result in the 15% cap imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 being exceeded.
Resolution 5 - Ratification of issue of ordinary shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a cap on the number of securities that a company may issue within the 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities made without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if the holders of ordinary securities subsequently approve it, and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
By way of a placement, in September 2012, the Company issued 51,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at \$0.20 each to existing shareholders, new and sophisticated investors. The issued securities ranked equally with the shares already on issue.
These funds were employed for exploration operations and working capital purposes.
The issues of the shares described above did not breach any Listing Rules and shareholder ratification of the share issues is now sought.
Ratification provides the Company with flexibility in capital management and allows the Company to make further issues for working capital or other purposes as required.
Special Resolution 6 - Approval of 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting (10% Placement Facility). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The funds would be used for exploration and development activities.
At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 391,724,302 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
- (i) 58,758,645 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (assuming that Resolution 5 is passed); and
- (ii) Subject to Shareholder approval being granted under Special Resolution 6, 39,172,430 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier of:
- (i) The date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
- (ii) The date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 12.2 (disposal of main undertaking);
or such longer period if allowed by ASX (10% Placement Period).
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
- (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
- (i) The date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
- (ii) If the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a chance that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
- (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
- (i) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
- (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.
| Dilution | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable "A" in Listing Rule 7.1A2 |
\$0.105 50% decrease in Issue Price |
\$0.21 Issue Price |
\$0.42 100% increase in Issue Price |

| Funds raised |

| 50% increase in current Variable A 587,586,453 Shares |
10% Voting Dilution |
58,758,645 Shares | 58,758,645 Shares | 58,758,645 Shares |

| Funds raised |
\$8,226,210 | \$16,452,421 | \$32,904,841 |
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
- (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
- (ii) No Listed Options (including any Listed Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;
- (iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issue share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
- (vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listing Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purposes of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
- (vii) The issue price is \$0.21, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 24 September 2012.
- (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under 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 11.12 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
- (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
- (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of businesses or technology. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
- (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards exploration operations and general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
- (iii) the methods of raising funds that are available in the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
- (iv) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- (v) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
- (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new businesses or technology, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.
- (e) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
- (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
