1. Resolutions 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) – Approval of prior issues of securities to refresh the Company’s 15% placement capacity

Resolutions 1(a) to 1(f) (inclusive) seek the approval of Shareholders of the prior issues of ordinary shares and options over ordinary shares that have occurred in the 12 months prior to 20 May 2015 that have not already been approved by Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the company‟s issued capital at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to the issues of securities described below. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to maintain the ability to issue up to its full placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval so that the Company retains financial flexibility and can take advantage of commercial opportunities that may arise.

By way of background, the Company has issued the following shares under the Company‟s 15% placement capacity:

  • (a) As announced to ASX on 1 April 2015, 1,317,871 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 at an issue price of $0.15 per Share. The Shares rank equally with all other existing Shares. The Shares were issued:

  • (i) as a placement fee for convertible notes (non-related party);

  • (ii) as per the share sale agreement to purchase Management Institute of Australia Pty Ltd; and

  • (iii) in lieu of services provided by a consultant (non-related party).

  • (b) As announced to ASX on 11 February 2015, 200,000 Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.15 per Share. The Shares rank equally with all other existing Shares. The Shares were issued in lieu of services provided by a consultant (non-related party) to the Company.

  • (c) As announced to ASX on 24 December 2014, 2,666,668 Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.15 per Share. The Shares rank equally with all other existing Shares. The Shares were issued to sophisticated investors for the purpose of providing funds for working capital and acquisitions.

  • (d) As announced to ASX on 24 December 2014, 1,333,336 Listed Options were issued to sophisticated investors, as part of a previous

placement which entitled sophisticated investors to one free attaching Option for every two shares subscribed for and issued to sophisticated investors. The Listed Options are over ordinary Shares in the Company exercisable at $0.20 each on or before 24 July 2017.

  • (e) As announced to ASX on 24 December 2014, 1,666,667 Listed Options were issued to sophisticated investors as a placement fee. The Listed Options are over ordinary Shares in the Company exercisable at $0.20 each on or before 24 July 2017.

  • (f) As announced to ASX on 24 December 2014, 1,000,000 Listed Options were issued as a placement fee on the sale of small holdings of Shares in the Company. The Listed Options are over ordinary Shares in the Company exercisable at $0.20 each on or before 24 July 2017.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of these Resolutions.

2. Resolution 2 – Approval for Future Share Placements

2.1

General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of up to 10,000,000 Shares under future Share placements, the terms and conditions of which are yet to be confirmed ( Future Share Placements ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue Shares pursuant to the Future Share Placements during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX) without using the Company‟s 15% annual placement capacity.

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Future Share Placements:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 10,000,000;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the issue price will be not less than 80% of the volume weighted average price for Shares calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Shares are recorded before the day on which the issue is made or, if there is a prospectus, over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the date the prospectus is signed;

TMP174845

  • (d) the Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors, the Directors will determine to whom the Shares will be issued but these persons will not be related parties of the Company;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company‟s existing Shares; and

  • (f) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the Future Share Placements to undertake due diligence as required and to potentially fund the acquisition of new assets that may be considered complimentary in nature to those assets currently held by the Company and for additional working capital purposes.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
