EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10.30 am (WST) on 1 October 2009 at the Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia.

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE

1.1 General

On 30 July 2009, the Company placed 100,000,000 Shares to sophisticated investors under section 708(8) of the Corporations Act ( Placement ).

The Shares the subject of the Placement, were issued to investors under the Company’s 15% placement capacity and are the subject of Resolution 1 ( Placement Shares ). The subscribers pursuant to the Placement were not Related Parties of the Company.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

ASX 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 number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

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

By ratifying the issue of the Placement Shares, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

1.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement:

  • (a) 100,000,000 Shares were allotted and issued;

  • (b) the issue price of the Placement Shares was $0.015 per Share;

  • (c) the Placement Shares issued are all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Placement Shares were allotted and issued to investors under section 708(8) of the Corporations Act, but these persons will not be Related Parties of the Company;

  • (e) the Placement Shares were issued on 30 July 2009; and

  • (f) the funds raised from this issue will be used for:

  • (i) to supplement funding of exploration activities; and

  • (ii) general working capital

2. RESOLUTION 2– ISSUE OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS

2.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 2,500,000 Options ( Director Options ) to the Company’s Managing Director Bruce Morrin ( Related Party ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to related parties 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.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The grant of Director Options to a Related Party requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and as a Director, Mr Bruce Morrin 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 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options to the Related Party.

2.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Options:

  • (a) the Related Party is Mr Bruce Morrin and he is a Related Party by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Party is 2,500,000;

  • (c) the Director Options will be granted to the Related Party no later than 1 month after the date of the Annual General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the Director Options will be granted for nil cash consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the Director Options will expire at 5:00 pm (WST) on 30 June 2012;

  • (f) the amount payable upon exercise of each Director Option will be $0.05;

  • (g) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (h) the value of the Director Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 2;

  • (i) the relevant interests of the Related Party in securities of the Company is as follows:

Related Parties Shares Options
Bruce Morrin 2,000,000 1
7,500,000
  • 1 2,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.05 each on or before 30 June 2010, 2,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.10 each on or before 30 June 2011 and 2,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.15 each on or before 30 June 2012

ABN 66 059 326 519

Redbank Copper Limited

  • (j) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Party for both the current financial year and previous financial year is as follows:
Related Parties Current Financial Year Previous Financial Year
Bruce Morrin $33,333 $49,174
  • (k) if the Director Options granted to the Related Party are exercised, a total of 2,500,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 808,591,250 to 811,091,250 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:
Related Party Issued Shares
as at the date
of this
Notice of Meeting
Director Options
to be issued
Issued Shares
upon exercise
of the Director
Options
Dilutionary effect
upon exercise of
Director Options
Bruce Morrin 808,591,250 2,500,000 811,091,250 0.31%
TOTAL 808,591,250 2,500,000 811,091,250 0.31%
  • (l) The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

  • (m) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting is set out below:

Meeting is set out below:
Price Date
Highest $0.029 20 July 2009
Lowest $0.009 27 February 2009
Last $0.021 27 August 2009
  • (n) the primary purpose of granting the Director Options to Mr Bruce Morrin is to provide a market linked incentive package in his role as Managing Director and for the future performance by him in his role. The Board (other than the Related Party the subject of the Director Options) considered the extensive experience and reputation of Mr Morrin within the Minerals industry, the current market price of Shares and current market practices when determining the number and exercise price of the Director Options to be issued to the Related Party. In addition, the Board considers the grant of the Director Options to the Related Party to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company’s 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 Director Options upon the terms proposed; and

  • (o) the Related Party declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to the Resolution to grant Director Options due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 2 recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Related Party as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to the Related Party will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF SHORTFALL UNDER SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

3.1 General

As announced to ASX on 18 August 2009 the Company is proceeding with a Share Purchase Plan under which all Shareholders will be offered a right to subscribe for a maximum of $15,000 worth of Shares at a price to be determined.

As set out in its Announcement to ASX, the Company will seek to place any shortfall not taken up under the Share Purchase Plan.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of Shares which form the shortfall from the Share Purchase Plan ( Shortfall Shares ).

None of the subscribers pursuant to this issue will be related parties of the Company.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1 above.

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shortfall Shares during the period of 3 months after the General Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

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

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

  • (c) the issue price of the Shares will be not less than 80% of the average market price for Shares calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Shares are recorded before the day on which the Share Purchase Plan is announced or made;

  • (d) 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) any funds raised from the issue of the Shortfall Shares will be used by the Company:

  • (i) to supplement the funding of exploration activities; and

  • (ii) for general working capital.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – ADOPTION OF A NEW CONSTITUTION

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to adopt a new constitution of the type required for a company limited by shares.

The new Constitution to be adopted contains a number of provisions designed to promote the more efficient running of the Company, which should be of long term benefit to the Company and its Shareholders. It has been updated to reflect recent amendments to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
