SW227189
6 Resolution 4: Approval of issue of shares to a Director Mr Simon Tolhurst
6.1 Background
It was proposed in an ASX announcement dated 27[th] June 2018 that Director Mr Simon Tolhurst participate in the Placement completed on 3[rd] July 2018. Mr Tolhurst wishes to obtain Shareholder approval to subscribe for up to $100,000 worth of Placement Shares, being 2,000,000 Shares (Director Placement Shares).
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions) issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party without approval of shareholders. Mr Tolhurst is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Therefore, approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Mr Tolhurst or their nominees.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Mr Tolhurst (and/or his nominees) arising from his participation in the Placement ( Participation ). If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholder approval of the issue of the Director Placement Shares means that this issue will not reduce the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
6.2 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 Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Tolhurst is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Tolhurst who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Shares will be issued to Mr Tolhurst on the same terms as Shares issued to nonrelated party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, information regarding the issue of the Director Placement Shares is provided as follows:
(a) The maximum number of securities to be issued to Mr Tolhurst (and/or his nominees) is up to:

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting under Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

-
(a) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
12

- (d) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note: ‘A’ has the same meaning as in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
- D
is 10%.
- E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice, the only quoted Equity Securities that the Company has on issue are its Shares and Options.
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in the paragraph above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
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 to occur of:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; and

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 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7:
(a) Minimum price at which the securities may be issued
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) Risk of dilution
If Resolution 5 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 table below. There is a risk 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 Annual General Meeting; and
13
SW227189
- (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 or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
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 general meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

Notes:
-
Assumes the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
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 Annual General Meeting.
-
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.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
The market price used is $0.068, being the closing price of Shares on 19 October 2018.

SW227189
(c) Date by which the securities may be issued

The approval under Resolution 5 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 of the Company) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking of the Company).
(d) Purposes for which the securities may be issued
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. 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 for acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) 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 under rule 7.1A.
(e)
Allocation policy for issues of 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 recipients of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Recipients of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined at the date of this Notice but are likely to be investors which are sophisticated or professional investors (or both) for the purposes of section 708 of the Corporations Act and are not related parties.

8.4 Directors’ recommendations
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 6-9.
9 Resolution 10: Issue of Director Shares in lieu of Director Fees to Simon Tolhurst
9.1 Background
The main purpose of the issue of the Shares to the Related Party is to provide cost effective consideration to the Related Party for his contribution to the Company as a Director while conserving its cash reserves. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Shares upon the terms proposed.
19
SW227189
9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11
For a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party (such as a director) of the public company, the public company 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 issue of Shares to the Director Simon Tolhurst requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of the Shares to the Director constitutes giving a financial benefit and as a Director, Simon Tolhurst is a Related Party of the Company. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 may not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Shares to the Related Party.
In accordance with Section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the proposed issue of Shares to Simon Tolhurst.
- (a) The related party to whom the financial benefit will be given
Simon Tolhurst.
(b) The nature of the financial benefits
900,000 fully paid ordinary shares to Simon Tolhurst (or his nominee) being for additional Chairman fees payable in the 2017/18 period for services provided.
724,637 fully paid ordinary Shares to Simon Tolhurst (or his nominee) being for Chairman fees for 2018/19.
(c) Director’s recommendation and reason
Simon Tolhurst declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to this Resolution due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The remaining Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution to maintain Company cash reserves.
- (d) Director ‘s interest in the outcome of the Resolution
Excepting for Simon Tolhurst, the remaining Directors do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution.
(e) Value attributed to the proposed issue of Shares
1,624,637 Shares at $0.069 per Share, being based on the volume weighted average price for the last 15 days.
(f) Disclosure of a relevant director’s total remuneration package
Simon Tolhurst’s total remuneration package amounts to $50,000 per annum.
(g) Related Party’s existing interest in the Company
Simon Tolhurst holds 2,150,000 fully paid ordinary shares.
20
SW227189
(h) Dilution effect of the issue on existing members’ interests
As at 22 October 2018, the date of preparation of this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement, the Company’s issued share capital stands at shares. If approval is given by Shareholders for the issue of shares to be granted in accordance with this Resolution then the following would apply.
| Issue Price | Shares | Percentage of Issued Capital |
|---|---|---|
| $0.069 | 1,624,637 | 0.32% |
Neither the Company nor the Directors are aware of any undisclosed information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the potential financial benefits contemplated by the Resolution.
(i) Date by which the entity will issue the securities
Subject to the Corporations Act, it is anticipated that the Shares will be issued and allotted within 7 days of the General Meeting. In any event, however, no Shares will be issued to Simon Tolhurst (and/or their nominees) later than one month after the General Meeting (other than to the extent permitted by any waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
(j) Issue price of the securities
The Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration.
(k) Terms of the securities and voluntary escrow
The Shares issued are fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with other Shares on issue. The Shares issued following this Resolution will be held in voluntary escrow and released by the company to Simon Tolhurst quarterly in arrear subject to Simon Tolhurst fulfilling his duties as Director of the Company.
(l) Intended use of the funds raised
No funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares.
9.3 Directors’ recommendations
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.
10 Resolution 11: Re-election of Simon Tolhurst as a Director
Clause 13.2 of the Constitution provides that one-third of the Directors, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, shall retire from office at each annual general meeting, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is longer, without submitting himself for re-election. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election.
Mr. Tolhurst will retire in accordance with clause 13.2 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, seeks re-election from Shareholders. Details regarding Mr. Tolhurst are set out in the company’s 2018 Annual Report.
Directors’ recommendations
The Board (other than Mr. Tolhurst, who declines to make a recommendation due to his material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 16) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.
