|---|---|
| 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 5 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. |
| Eligibility | ASX-listed entities which have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, and which are not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index will be considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A. 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. |

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing shareholders under various scenarios on the basis of:
- an issue price of $0.024 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 12 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 144,139,826.
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, prorata 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%.

-
(f) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of shares.
-
(g) the issue price is $0.024, being the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 12 October 2015.
Period of validity The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under the 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) 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 noncash 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.
