OM HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 081 028 337
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The Board recommends Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
BACKGROUND
On 23 January 2012, the Company announced its intention to issue 50,000,000 Shares to Boustead and 25,000,000 Shares to the Investors at an issue price of A$0.35 per Share. Each component of the Placement is conditional upon Shareholder approval being obtained hence the convening of this Meeting.
The Placement is consistent with the Company’s previous announcements indicating its intention to consider raising new equity capital through attracting strategic investors supporting the Company’s vision, underlying fundamentals, growth strategy, downstream expansion and geographical diversification.
The purpose of the Placement, which is expected to raise gross proceeds of approximately A$26,250,000, is to finance development activities at the Company's Sarawak ferro-alloy project in Malaysia, as well as assist in the timely financial close of this project, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of the 2012 calendar year, and to pay the costs of conducting the Placement.
In addition to facilitating the timely development of the Sarawak project, the Placement to Boustead represents the first step in the formalisation of a strong strategic relationship with one of South-East Asia's most successful, progressive and experienced engineering services businesses.
The Placement to the Investors demonstrates strong strategic support for the Company's growth strategy, downstream processing expansion and geographical diversification into South-East Asia, whilst expanding the Company's current investor base.
The involvement with both Boustead and the Investors is expected to greatly assist in the on-time and onbudget delivery of the Sarawak project.
The Board is of the opinion that conducting the Placement, applying its net proceeds in connection with the Sarawak project, strengthening the Company's relationship with Boustead and expanding the Company's investor base, are in the best interests of the Company.
If Shareholders pass the Resolutions at the Meeting, the Placement is expected to complete by 21 March 2012 (being within one month of Shareholder approval).
Shareholder approval is required for the Placement to Boustead pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11, as Mr Wong Fong Fui, who is Boustead's Executive Chairman as well as a holder of 33.01% of Boustead's issued capital as at the date of this Explanatory Statement, was until recently an independent Non-Executive Director of the Company. Therefore, and given this context, Boustead is currently considered a related party of the Company.
Although not required by the ASX Listing Rules, the Company is also seeking Shareholder approval in relation to the Placement to the Investors given that the terms on which the Shares are being placed with the Investors are substantially similar to those for the Placement to Boustead and in order to preserve the Company's future capital flexibility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The issue price under the Placement of A$0.35 represented a discount of 8.8% to the 15-day and a discount of 5.2% to the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Shares on ASX as at 20 January 2012 (the last trading day before the announcement of the Placement).
RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE OF SHARES TO A RELATED PARTY – PLACEMENT TO BOUSTEAD
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the Company must not (subject to a number of exceptions which do not apply in this instance) issue equity securities to a related party of the Company without prior Shareholder approval being obtained. Pursuant to an exception to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 (being the exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 10), the Company can however agree to issue equity securities to a related party if the issue is conditional on Shareholders approving the issue before the issue is made. If the Company relies on this exception it must not issue the equity securities without Shareholder approval.
1
As indicated above, under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the Company cannot issue Shares to Boustead under the Placement without first obtaining Shareholder approval. Accordingly, in Resolution 1, Shareholders of the Company are being asked to consider, and if thought fit, approve for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and all other purposes, the issue of the Shares under the Placement to Boustead. If Shareholders so approve the Placement to Boustead, that issue of Shares will also fall within an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (being the exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14) and therefore:
-
a) Shareholder approval for the Placement to Boustead will not be required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
b) the Shares issued to Boustead under the Placement will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Details of the issue to Boustead under the Placement
Details of the Shares to be issued to Boustead under the Placement are set out in the following table:
| Type of security | Maximum number to be issued |
Issue price | Terms of issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fully paid ordinary shares |
50,000,000 | A$0.35 each | Fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with existing fully paid ordinary Shares from the date of their issue. |
If Shareholders pass Resolution 1, the Company expects to issue the Shares to Boustead under the Placement on or around Friday 24 February 2012 (and in any event will issue those Shares by Wednesday 21 March 2012, a date which is not more than one month from the date of the Meeting.
The issue of Shares under the Placement will result in Boustead holding approximately 8.6% of the Company's issued Shares (assuming completion of the Placement to the Investors but no further issuances of Shares between the date of this Explanatory Statement and the completion of the Placement). Immediately prior to the announcement of the Placement, Boustead (or any of its associates or Mr Wong Fong Fui) did not hold any of the Company's Shares.
The gross funds raised from the issue of Shares to Boustead under the Placement (which will total approximately A$17,500,000) will be applied by the Company for the purposes referred to above.
Further information about the Sarawak project and Boustead is provided below under 'Additional Information'.
There is no other information known to the Directors that is reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision whether or not it is in the Company’s interest to pass Resolution 1.
Directors’ recommendation on Resolution 1
The Directors unanimously recommend to Shareholders that they vote in favour of Resolution 1.
To the extent that each holds or controls Shares and is permitted to vote, each Director currently intends to vote all Shares held or controlled by him/her in favour of Resolution 1.
Mr Low Ngee Tong, as Chairman of the Meeting, currently intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE OF SHARES – PLACEMENT TO INVESTORS
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the approval of the holders of ordinary securities of a listed company is required for an issue by an entity of equity securities if, over a 12 month period, the number of the equity securities issued is more than 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the start of that 12 month period (subject to certain exceptions which do not apply in this instance).
The Placement to the Investors does not exceed the 15% limit which applies to the Company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so, Shareholder approval is not strictly required under the ASX Listing Rules. However, such approval is being sought given that the terms on which the Shares are being placed with the Investors are substantially similar to those for the Placement to Boustead and in order to preserve the Company's future capital raising flexibility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, in Resolution 2, Shareholders of the Company are being asked to consider, and if thought fit, approve for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and all other purposes, the issue of the Shares under the Placement to the Investors.

Details of the issue to the Investors under the Placement
Details of the Shares to be issued to the Investors under the Placement are set out in the following table:
| Type of security | Maximum number to be issued |
Issue price | Terms of issue |

| Fully paid ordinary shares |
25,000,000 | A$0.35 each | Fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with existing fully paid ordinary Shares from the date of their issue. |
If Shareholders pass the Resolution 2, the Company expects to issue and allot the Shares to the Investors under the Placement on or around Friday 24 February 2012 (and in any event will issue those Shares by Monday 21 May 2012, a date which is not more than three months from the date of the Meeting.
The gross funds raised from the issue of Shares to the Investors under the Placement (which will total approximately A$8,750,000) will be applied by the Company for the purposes referred to above.
Further information about the Sarawak project is provided below under 'Additional Information'.
There is no other information known to the Directors that is reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision whether or not it is in the Company’s interest to pass Resolution 2.
Directors’ recommendation on Resolution 2
The Directors unanimously recommend to Shareholders that they vote in favour of Resolution 2.
To the extent that each holds or controls Shares and is permitted to vote, each Director currently intends to vote all Shares held or controlled by him/her in favour of Resolution 2.
Mr Low Ngee Tong, as Chairman of the Meeting, currently intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
VOTING EXCLUSION STATEMENT
The Company will disregard any votes cast on:
-
a) Resolution 1 by Boustead and any associate of Boustead; and
-
b) Resolution 2 by the Investors and any associate of an Investor. However, the Company need not disregard a vote:

a) if it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

Boustead's right shall continue for so long as the Company and Boustead are in a strategic and synergistic relationship.

Sarawak Project
The Sarawak project, 80% owned by the Company, represents the next major step in the Company's development as a world class lowest-quartile cost producer of ferro-alloys, notably ferro silicon and silico manganese.
The dynamic transformation of the global and Chinese export ferro alloy industry driven by the cost and availability of energy, the development and commissioning of the Bakun Hydroelectric Dam and Malaysia’s Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy initiative represents an attractive opportunity for the Company to establish one of the world’s lowest cost and strategically located greenfield ferro alloy plants with considerable competitive advantages.
The project’s competitive advantages include, but are not limited to, access to 500MW of competitively priced long term hydroelectric power supply, coastal industrial land with direct access to a dedicated future port facility, geographical proximity to both captive and contracted raw materials and major Asian steel markets, tax incentives, lack of import and/or export duties as well as comprehensive purpose built industrial infrastructure.
The Board will continue to evaluate a range of equity and debt financing options with respect to the funding of the Sarawak project. The Company is targeting completion of its current fundraising requirements for the Sarawak project by the end of April 2012 with a focus on minimising dilution for existing Shareholders. The component parts of this fundraising exercise will be submitted to Shareholders for approval if required.
