2. RISK FACTORS
2.1 Introduction
The Listed Options offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the Listed Options pursuant to this Prospectus.
There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this Section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Listed Options.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
2.2 Company specific
(a) Limited operational history
The prospectus of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects or any other mining assets it has an interest in. Until the Company is able to realise value from the Projects or such mining assets, it is likely to incur operational losses.
(b) Future capital requirements
The Company currently has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operational revenue unless the Company’s Tenements are successfully developed and exploited. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities.
In addition, should the Company consider that its exploration results justify commencement of production of any of its Projects, additional funding will be required to implement the Company’s development plans, the quantum of which remain unknown at the date of this Prospectus. The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, production sharing arrangements or other means. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders and may be undertaken at lower prices than the market price. Any debt financing, if available,
11
may involve restriction on financing and operating activities. There can be no assurance that additional financial will be available when needed.
Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and future projects may result in delay and indefinite postponement of exploration, development, or production on the Company’s Projects or even loss of interest in the Projects.
(c)
Title and grant risk
As at the date of this Prospectus, exploration license application ELA80/5630, ELA9784 and ELA24079 have not yet been granted and are at various stages of applications. These applications must be granted to Kimberly before the Company can acquire 100% legal and beneficial interest in those tenements. There is a risk that the ELAs may not be granted in their entirety or only granted on conditions deemed unacceptable to the Company or that such grant will be delayed.
Exploration license applications ELA9874 and ELA24079 are subject to ongoing negotiations with the Malngin Aboriginal Land Trust. The applications cannot be granted until the consent of the Malngin Aboriginal Land Trust is obtained or, failing consent, the Company is successful in arbitration under the relevant legislation.
(d) Reserve land and land access risk
The Company’s interest in the Tenements are subject to Commonwealth and applicable state legislation and cannot be guaranteed. The Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or compensate holders of thirst party interests which overlay areas within the Tenements. The Tenements overlap certain third party interest that may limit the Company’s ability to conduct exploration activities including Crown land, pastoral lease and areas covered by native title determinations.
The land the subject of exploration license E80/5353 and exploration license application ELA80/5630 (upon grant) overlaps a Class “C” reserve for Regeneration of Eroded Areas in Ord River Catchment Area ( Reserve Land ).
Prior written consent of the Minister for Mines is required before undertaking any exploration activities on Reserve Land. The Minister for Mines must consult with an obtain the recommendation of the relevant State Minister (depending on the reserve purpose) and the responsible agency before granting consent. There is a risk the Company may not be able to access areas of the Ord Basin Project that overlap with the Reserve Land.
Any delays in respect of conflicted third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensations obligations, may adversely impact the Company’s ability to carry out exploration activities within the affected areas. However, the Company confirms that the Reserve Land will not impact the Company’s exploration activities on E80/5353.
(e)
Nature of mineral exploration
Mineral exploration and development are considered a high-risk undertakings. There is no guarantee that exploration of the Projects will result in the discovery of an economically viable resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is discovered, there is no guarantee that the resource can be economically exploited.
12
Exploration on the Company’s Projects may be unsuccessful, resulting in a reduction of the value of those Projects, diminution in the cash reserved of the Company and possible relinquishment of such Projects.
No assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice. Which may materially and adversely after the Company’s ability to complete the exploration programs as planned.
(f)
Resources estimates may be inaccurate
The Company has not published resource estimates for any prospects. There is no assurance that exploration or project studies by the Company will result in the definition of an economically viable mineral deposit.
Furthermore, resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience, and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or technologies become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extend in interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.
(g) Development risk
The business of exploration, project development and mining contains risks by its very nature. To prosper, it depends on the successful exploration or acquisition of reserves, design and construction of efficient production and processing facilities, competent operation and managerial performance and proficient marketing of the product. In particular, exploration is a speculative endeavour and force majeure circumstances, cost over runs and other unforeseen events can hamper mining operations.
(h) Operational risk
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operation and technical difficulties encountered in mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problem which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumable, spare parts, plant and equipment.
Even though the Directors have between them significant mineral exploration and operation experiences, no assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and mining of its Tenements. Until the Company is able to realise value from its Projects, it likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
(i)
Dilution risk
In the future, the Company may elect to issue Securities in connection with fundraisings, including to raise proceeds to fund further exploration of its Projects.
13
While the Company will be subject to the constraints of the Listing Rules regarding the percentage of its capital it is able to issue within a 12 month period (other than where exceptions apply), Shareholders may be diluted as a result of such issues of Securities.
(j) Metallurgy
Metal and/or mineral recovering are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk such as:
-
(i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
-
(ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
-
(iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recover, affecting the economic viability of the project.
(k) Liquidity risk
Certain Securities on issue in the Company are subject to ASX imposed escrow restrictions. During the period in which these Securities are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Securities may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of their Securities in a timely manner. The Company will announce to ASX full details (including quantity and duration) of the Securities required to be held in escrow prior to the Securities commencing trading on ASX.
(l) Potential acquisitions:
The Company may pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resource sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, tenement acquisitions and direct equity participation.
The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies advances may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from other projects or raising additional capital (if available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project activities will remain.
(m) Competition risk
The Company competes with other companies, including major mining companies in Australia and internationally. Some of these companies have greater financial resources that the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete
14
for future business opportunities. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these Companies.
(n) Commodity price and exchange rate risk
If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities may expose the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. The price of base metals fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, such as industrial and retail supply and demand, exchange rate, inflation rates, changes in global economies, confidence in the global monetary system, forward sales of metals by producers and speculators as well as other global or regional political, social or economic events. Future serious price declines in the market values of minerals which the Company plans to explore for could cause the development of, and eventually the commercial production from, the Company’s Projects to be rendered uneconomic.
Depending on the prices of commodities, the Company could be forced to discontinue production or development and may loser its interest in, or may be forced to sell, some of its properties. There is no assurance that, even as commercial quantities of base metals are produced, a profitable market will exist for it.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
(o) Environmental risk
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could delay production or increase production costs. Natural events, such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfire may impact on the Company’s ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licenses.
Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damages caused by previous operation or noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations.
The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the Company’s operations more expensive. Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can results in the delay to anticipated exploration programs or mining activities.
15
Furthermore, under the Mining Rehabilitation Fund Act 2012 (WA), the Company is required to provide assessment information to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety in respect of a mining rehabilitation levy payable for mining tenements granted under the Mining Act. The Company is required to contribute annually to the mining rehabilitation fund if its rehabilitation liability is above $50,000.
(p) Tenure risk
The Company’s Tenements are subject to the applicable mining acts and regulations in Western Australia, pursuant to which mining, and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to the discretion of the relevant Minister. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements of future applications for productions tenements will be approved. Renewal conditions may included increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising the Company’s Projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position or performance of the Company.
There can be no guarantee that a renewal will be approved. If the Company is unable to secure a renewal for these Tenements this may impact the Company’s exploration plans for the Projects and may adversely impact the Company or the value of its Shares.
Prior to any development on any of its properties, the Company must receive licences from appropriate governmental authorities. There is no certainty that the Group will hold all licences necessary to develop or continue operating at any particular property.
The Company considered the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low given the laws and regulations governing exploration in Western Australia and the ongoing expenditure being budgeted by the Company. However, the consequences of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of a granted tenement for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant.
Similarly, the rights to mining tenure carry with them various obligations which the holder is required to comply with in order to ensure the continued good standing of the licence and, specifically, obligations in regard to minimum expenditure levels and responsibilities in respect of the environment and safety. Failure to observe these requirements could prejudice the right to maintain title to a given area and result in government action to forfeit a license or licences. There is no guarantee that current or future exploration application or existing license renewals will be granted, that they will be granted without undue delay, or that the Company can economically comply with any conditions imposed on any granted exploration permits.
The Tenements may be relinquished either in total or in part even though a viable mineral deposit may be present, in the event that:
-
(i) exploration or production programs yield negative results;
-
(ii) insufficient funding is available;
-
(iii) such a tenement is considered by the Company to not meet the risk/reward or other criteria of the Company;
-
(iv) its relative perceived prospectivity is less than that of other tenements in the Company’s portfolio, which take a higher priority; or
16
(v) a variety of other reasons.
Further, a number of the Tenements are pending applications. There is a risk that the applications for Tenements may not be granted in their entirety or only granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company.
(q) Native title and Aboriginal heritage
In relation to the Tenements or any tenements that the Company may in the future acquire an interest in, there may be areas over which legitimate common law Native Title rights may exist. If such Native Title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to such tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant native title holders) or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phase of operations may be adversely affected.
As at the date of this Prospectus, a number of the Tenements are subject to Native Title determinations and others are subject to Native Title claims.
The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.
In addition, determined native title holders may seek compensation under the Native Title Act for the impacts of acts affecting native title rights and interests after the commencement of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) on 31 October 1975.
The State of Western Australia has passed liability for compensation for the impact of the grant of mining tenements under the Mining Act onto mining tenement holders pursuant to section 125A of the Mining Act. Outstanding compensation liability will lie with the current holder of the Tenements at the time of any award of compensation pursuant to section 125A of the Mining Act or, in the event there is no holder at that time, the immediate past holder of the relevant Tenements.
Compensation liability may be determined by the Federal Court or settled by agreement with native title holders, including through ILUAs (which have statutory force) and common law agreements (which do not have statutory force). At this stage the Company is not able to quantify any potential compensation payments, if any.
In addition, the Company must comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements which include the requirement to conduct heritage survey work prior to the commencement of operations.
The Company is aware of various areas of indigenous significance and Aboriginal heritage sites of considerable cultural value both to the local indigenous communities and the broader community generally which affect a number of Tenements. It is also likely that additional Aboriginal sites may be identified on the land the subject of the Tenements.
These Aboriginal heritage sites require the Company to comply with all relevant the Aboriginal Heritage Acts in respect of any ground disturbing activities and any applicable agreements that may be in place with the relevant Traditional Owners. Prior to commencing significant ground disturbing activities, including exploration, the Company will need to consult with local the relevant Traditional Owners regarding the likely impact that the proposed activities may have on such areas. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to deal with Aboriginal heritage issues in a satisfactory or timely manner and accordingly such issues may increase the proposed
17
time periods for the conduct of the Company’s proposed activities, lead to increased costs for such activities (in obtaining the required consents and/or approvals) and also limit the Company’s ability to conduct its proposed activities on the relevant Tenement.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is party to heritage agreements with the Malarngowem, Purnululu, Yurriyangem Taam and Upurli Upurli native title groups.
The Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill 2001 (WA), which proposes to replace the current Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA), has been introduced into the parliament of Western Australia. The introduction of new legislation, amendments to existing legislation and the decisions of courts which impose constraints or more stringent requirements on the Company could adversely impact the assets, operations, and financial performance of the Company, either directly or indirectly.
(r) Crown land and pastoral lease risk
The land covered by the Tenements overlaps with Crown land, including pastoral leases. If mining on any of the Tenements is contemplated in the future, the Company may need to consider entering into a compensation and access agreement with the lease holders to ensure the requirements of the Mining Act are satisfied and to avoid any disputes arising. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not entered into Land Access Agreements with respect to certain Tenements subject to pastoral leases. In the absence of an agreement, the Warden’s Court determined compensation payable to leaseholders that may be undertaken in the future. The entry into these agreement may delay the undertaking of activities, including the development of any future mines, and may restrict the areas within which the Company can explore for mineral development.
(s) Sovereign risk
Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Western Australia may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possible exploration of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation. If the Company was to extend its activities into jurisdictions other than Western Australia and Australia in the future, the risks described in this paragraph may be considerably increased.
(t) Climate change risk
There are several climate-related factors that may affect the operations and proposed activities of the Company. One of the climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company is the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its potential future profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences.
Furthermore, climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of
18
weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.
(u) Equipment availability
The Company’s ability to undertake mining and exploration activities is dependent upon its ability to source appropriate contractors with access to relevant drilling and other exploration and mining equipment experiences fluctuations in supply and demand. If the Company is unable to source appropriate equipment economically or at all then this would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial or trading position.
(v) Third party contractor risk
It is the Company’s intention to outsource a substantial party of its exploration activities to third party contractors. The Company is unable to predict the risk of insolvency or managerial failure of any of the third party contractors used by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity. The effects of such failures may have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities.
(w) Reliance on key personnel
Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel are important to the Company’s success. The number of persons skilled in the exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons is strong. There can be no assurance that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if such persons employed by the Company from time to time cease their employment with the Company.
(x)
Insurance risk
The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. In certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.
Insurance against all risks associated with mineral exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.
(y) Unforeseen expenses
The Company’s cost estimates, and financial forecasts include appropriate provisions for material risks and uncertainty and are considered to be fit for purpose for the proposed activities of the Company. If risks and uncertainties prove to be greater than expected, or if new currently unforeseen material risks and uncertainties arise, the expenditure proposals of the Company are likely to be adversely affected.
2.3 General Risks
The future prospects of the Company’s business may be affected by circumstances and external factors beyond the Company’s control. Financial performance of the Company may be affected by a number of business risks that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions.
19
(a) Economic
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities, as well as its ability to fund those activities.
(b) Additional requirements for capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors.
The Company may require additional funding to meet its business objectives and to effectively implement its business and operations plans in the future, to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur.
The Company must raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, licensing arrangements, production sharing arrangements or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and future projects will result in delay and indefinite postponement of these activities. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.
Loan agreements and other financing rearrangements such as debt facilities, convertible note issues and finance leases (and any related guarantee and security) that may be entered into by the Company may contain covenants, undertakings and other provisions which, if breached, may entitle lenders to accelerate repayment of loans and there is no assurance that the Company would be able to repay such loans in the event of an acceleration. Enforcement of any security granted by the Company or default under a finance lease could also result in the loss of assets.
(c)
Trading Prices of Shares
The Company’s operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors will affect the trading price of the Shares. In addition, the price of Shares is subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to general economic conditions including, inflation rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Shares.
The share prices for many companies have been and may in the future be highly volatile, which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions relating to certain unstable regions of the world, acts of terrorism and the general state of the global economy. No assurances can be made that the Company’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.
(d) Potential acquisitions risk
As part of its business strategy, the Company is actively seeking to make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, complementary companies or prospects, although no such acceptable acquisitions or investments have been identified to date. Any such transactions will be accompanied by risks commonly encountered in making such acquisitions.
20
(e) Market conditions risk
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
-
(iii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vi) terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(f)
General economic and political risks
Changes in the general economic and political climate in Australia, China and on a global basis may have an impact on economic growth, interest rates, the rate of inflation, taxation and tariff laws, and domestic security which may affect the value and viability of any activities that may be conducted by the Company.
(g)
Regulatory risk
Changes in relevant taxes, legal and administration regimes, accounting practice and government policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.
2.4 Speculative Investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Listed Options offered under this Prospectus.
The Listed Options offered under this Prospectus carry no guarantee in respect of value, profitability, dividends, return of capital or the price at which the Listed Options (subject to satisfying ASX of the quotation requirements set out in Chapter 2 of the ASX Listing Rules) may trade on the ASX or the underlying Shares.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Listed Options pursuant to this Prospectus.
21
3. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE OFFERS
3.1 Purpose of the Offer
The primary purposes of this Prospectus are to:
-
(a) obtain Quotation of the Listed Options;
-
(b) facilitate secondary trading of the Listed Options issued under the Offer; and
-
(c) facilitate secondary trading of any Shares issued upon exercise of the Listed Options issued under the Offer.
Section 707(3) of the Corporations Act generally requires that a prospectus is issued in order for a person to whom securities were issued without disclosure under Part 6D of the Corporations Act to on-sell those securities within 12 months of the date of their issue.
The Corporations Act provides an exception to section 707(3) where an entity issues a ‘cleansing’ notice under section 708A(5). However, the Company is precluded from issuing a ‘cleansing’ notice in respect of the Listed Options as they are not in a class of securities that were quoted securities at all times in the last three (3) months.
Consequently, the Company has issued this Prospectus in respect of the Offer. Issuing the Listed Options under this Prospectus will enable persons who are issued the Listed Options to on-sell their Listed Options, and any Shares issued on exercise of the Listed Options pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Sale Offer That Do Not Need Disclosure) Instrument 2016/80 .
3.2
Effect on control of the Company
The Offer will not have a material impact on the control (as defined by section 50AA of the Corporations Act) of the Company.
3.3
Financial effect of the Offer
No funds will be raised from the Offer. After paying the expenses of the Offer of approximately $28,554 (exclusive of GST), there will be no net proceeds from the Offer. The expenses of the Offer will be met from the Company’s existing cash reserves. The effect of the Offer on the Company’s financial position will be a net decrease in cash held of approximately $28,554 (exclusive of GST).

4. RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SECURITIES
4.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act.
(b)
Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative or if a determination has been made, by direct vote;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote (even though he or she may represent more than one member); and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall (or where a Direct Vote has been lodged), in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares, shall have such number of votes being equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable in respect of those Shares (excluding amounts credited).
(c)
Dividend rights
Subject to and in accordance with the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend is payable, fix the amount and the time for payment and authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to, or at the direction of, each Shareholder entitled to that dividend. The Directors may rescind a decision to pay a dividend if they decide, before the payment date.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company.
25
The Directors may resolve to capitalise any sum, being the whole or a part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve account or the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution to Shareholders; and may, but need not, resolve to apply the sum in any of the ways mentioned in clause 4.10 of the Constitution, for the benefit of Shareholders in the proportions to which those Shareholders would have been entitled in a distribution of that sum by way of dividend.
Subject to the Listing Rules, the Directors may grant to Shareholders or any class of Shareholders the right to elect to reinvest cash dividends paid by the Company by subscribing for shares in the Company on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit.
(d) Restricted Securities
The Company shall comply in all respects with the requirements of the Listing Rules with respect to Restricted Securities. Without limiting the generality of the above:
-
(i) a holder of Restricted Securities must not Dispose of, or agree or offer to Dispose of, the Securities during the escrow period applicable to those Securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;
-
(ii) if the Restricted Securities are in the same class as quoted Securities, the holder will be taken to have agreed in writing that the Restricted Securities are to be kept on the Company’s issuer sponsored subregister and are to have a Holding Lock applied for the duration of the escrow period applicable to those Securities;
-
(iii) the Company will refuse to acknowledge any Disposal (including, without limitation, to register any transfer) of Restricted Securities during the escrow period applicable to those Securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;
-
(iv) a holder of Restricted Securities will not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those Securities during the escrow period applicable to those Securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX; and
-
(v) if a holder of Restricted Securities breaches a Restriction Deed or a provision of this Constitution restricting a Disposal of those Securities, the holder will not be entitled to any dividend or distribution, or to exercise any voting rights, in respect of those Securities for so long as the breach continues.
(e) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
26
(f) Shareholder liability
As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(g) Transfer of Shares
Subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules, the Shares are freely transferable.
(h) Variation of rights
Pursuant to Section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(i) Alteration of Constitution
The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
4.2 Terms and conditions of Listed Options

Shares issued on exercise of the Options rank equally with the then issued shares of the Company.
(i) Reconstruction of capital
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.

5.2
Nature of this Prospectus
The Listed Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are options over continuously quoted securities. This Prospectus is issued under the special prospectus content rules for continuously quoted securities and options to acquire continuously quoted securities in section 713 of the Corporations Act.

-
(a) the effect of the Offer on the Company; and
-
(b) the rights and liabilities attaching to the Listed Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus and the underlying securities.
The Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange.

Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose to the market any information it has which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.
Price sensitive information is publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants is also managed through disclosure to ASX. In addition, the Company posts information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.
Investors are encouraged to check and monitor any further announcements made by the Company to ASX prior to securities being issued under the Offer. To do so, please refer to the Company’s ASX announcements platform via www.asx.com.au.
By virtue of section 713 of the Corporations Act, the Company is entitled to issue a “transaction-specific” prospectus in respect of the Offer.
In general terms, a “transaction-specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all
30
of the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

(i) the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects of the Company; and
-
(ii) the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities the subject of this Prospectus; and
