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 10.00 am (WST) on 28 April 2010 at 103 Abernethy Road, Belmont, Western Australia.
The 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 – CHANGE IN NAME
The new name of the Company proposed to be adopted under Resolution 1 is “Australian-American Mining Corporation N/L”. The Directors believe that the proposed name is more indicative of the direction in which the Company is heading.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES TO HARVEST EXPLORATION PTY LTD
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification for an issue of 250,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.068 per Share that your Directors made to Harvest Exploration Pty Ltd on 19 March 2010.
Subject to certain exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 restricts a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities in any 12 month period which amount to more than 15% of the company’s ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that period without shareholder approval.
The exception to this rule contained in Listing Rule 7.4 provides an issue made within the 15% limit will be treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 if subsequently approved by shareholders, thereby ‘refreshing’ the company’s ability to issue shares within the 15% limit, and restoring the company’s ability to make placements within that limit (if that is thought desirable) without the need for shareholder approval.
While the Performance Rights described in this Resolution 2 have been issued within the 15% limit, the Company seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of those Performance Rights for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4 so that the Company’s ability to issue securities will be ‘refreshed’ and it will have flexibility to issue further securities should the need or opportunity arise.
In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the ratification of the issue of the Shares the subject of this Resolution 2:
-
(a) the number of Shares issued and allotted by the Company was 250,000 Shares;
-
(b) the Shares were allotted at an issue price of $0.068 per Share;
-
(c) the Shares issued were fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank pari passu with the Company’s existing Shares;
4
- (d) the Shares were issued to the following parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 708(8) of the Corporations Act:
| Name | No. of Shares |
|---|---|
| Harvest Exploration Pty Ltd | 250,000 |
- (e) the Shares were issued pursuant to a Deed of Release related to an agreement held with Harvest Exploration Pty Ltd, an entity associated with Mr Mart Rampe.
3. ENQUIRIES
