How to vote
Shareholders can vote by either:
-
attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or
-
appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post or by facsimile.
Voting in person (or by attorney)
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and attendance recorded. Attorneys are required to produce an original or certified copy of the power of attorney under which they have been authorised to attend and vote at the meeting to the Company at least 48 hours before the meeting and should bring with them that power of attorney with them to the meeting.
Voting by a corporation
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.
Voting by proxy
-
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.
-
The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).
-
A proxy need not be a Shareholder.
-
The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
-
If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. However, where a Restricted Voter is appointed as a proxy, the proxy may only vote on Resolutions 1, 7 and 8 in accordance with a direction on how the proxy is to vote, or if the proxy is the Chairman and the appointment expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the
remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
-
Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.
-
If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.
-
Shareholders who return their Proxy Forms with a direction how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chairman as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chairman will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chairman, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction as to how to vote will be used where possible to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.
-
To be effective, Proxy Forms must be lodged by 9.30 AM (WST) on Monday, 18 November 2019. Proxy Forms lodged after this time will be invalid.
-
Proxy Forms may be lodged using any of the following methods:
-
by post using the pre-addressed envelope provided with this Notice to Automic, GPO Box 5193, Sydney NSW 2000;
-
by faxing a completed proxy form to +61 2 8583 3040;
-
by email to [email protected]; or
-
by hand to Automic, Level 5, 126 Phillip Street, Sydney NSW 2000.
The Proxy Form must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's attorney. Proxy Forms given by corporations must be executed in accordance with the Corporations Act. Where the appointment of a proxy is signed by the appointer's attorney, a certified copy of the power of attorney, or the power itself, must be received by the Company at the above address, or by facsimile, and by 9.30 AM (WST) on Monday, 18 November 2019. If facsimile transmission is used, the power of attorney must be certified.
Shareholders who are entitled to vote
In accordance with regulations 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2001, the Board has determined that a person's entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Register of Shareholders as at 4.00PM (WST) on Monday, 18 November 2019.

-
(b)
-
the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report;
-
(c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of accounts; and

2. Resolution 1 – Non Binding Resolution to adopt Remuneration Report
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2019 Annual Report be adopted. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website (www.orthocell.com.au).
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the
6
second Annual General Meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ).

The remuneration report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last general meeting held on 19 November 2018. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.

The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The Company intends to continue to develop its existing business activities. The Company may use the 10% Placement Facility to further develop and commercialise its products and for general working capital.
The Directors believe that Resolution 6 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.
6.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
- (a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
- (b) Equity Securities
The effect of Resolution 6 will be to permit the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue quoted Shares, unquoted Options and unquoted Warrants.
- (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice, the Company will have 154,696,097 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Resolution 4 and 5 being passed and Shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 6, 15,452,109 of Equity Securities will be permitted to be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.
Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 at the time of issue of the Equity Securities.
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(B) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
10
-
(C) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid Shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
-
(D) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
- D is 10%.
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
The table on page 13 demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility.
- (d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 7.2(c) above).
- (e) Minimum issue price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( 10% Placement Period ).
6.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
11
Resolution 6 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.
6.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is also a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as consideration (or part thereof) for the acquisition of a new asset,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
-
(i) examples of Variable “A” at its current level and where it has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price; and
-
(iii) the dilutionary effect will always be 10% of the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility.

| Dilution | 10% | 10% | 10% |
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The issue price is $0.475 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 9 October 2019.
-
(ii) That Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed by Shareholders. There are currently 154,696,097 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. On the basis that Resolution 6 is passed Variable ‘A’ is 154,521,097.
-
(iii) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(iv) No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(v) No convertible securities (including any convertible securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(vi) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(vii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(viii) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(ix) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
(c) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. As noted above, the approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility 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).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
13
-
(i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will comply with the minimum issue price limitations and provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3 and will release the valuation to the market; or
-
(ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company may use the 10% Placement Facility to further develop and commercialise its products and for general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
-
(e) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the dilutionary effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.
The Company last obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2018 annual general meeting held on 19 November 2018. During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 19 November 2018, the Company has issued a total of 57,671,624 Equity Securities (which represents approximately 41.69% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities[(1)] on issue in the Company on 19 November 2019, which was 138,320,018. Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 4.
- (1) a number of Options issued during the 12 month period were exercised. The number of Options exercised has been excluded in counting the number of Equity Securities issued to avoid double counting.
(f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not determined its allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity (other than noting the persons to whom Equity Securities will be issued will be determined on a case by case basis, having regard to the factors outlined in paragraph (e) above). The Company has not approached, and has not yet determined to approach, any particular existing security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in an offer under the 10% Placement Facility. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 6 in the terms set out in the Notice.
7. Resolutions 7 and 8 – Authority to grant Plan Options to Professors Lars Lidgren and Ms Nicole Telford (or their Nominated Parties)
7.1 Background
The Company proposes to grant a total of 1,000,000 Options ( Plan Options ) under the Orthocell Limited Employee Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ) to Professor Lars Lidgren and Ms Nicole Telford, (or their Nominated Parties) ( Participants ) for nil consideration as follows:
(a) Professor Lidgren 500,000 Plan Options (b) Ms Telford 500,000 Plan Options
Professor Lidgren has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 7 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 7.
Mr Paul Anderson has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 8 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 8.
Other than as outlined above Directors recommend that shareholders approve the grant of Plan Options to Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford.
Resolutions 7 and 8 are ordinary resolutions.
7.2 Related Party Transactions Generally
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, each of the Participants is a related party of the Company. Professor Lidgren is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Ms Telford is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and is a related party of the Company by virtue of being the wife of Managing Director, Mr Anderson.
Resolutions 7 and 8 relate to the proposed grant of Plan Options to the Participants (or their Nominated Parties), which is a financial benefit that requires Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
7.3 Information Requirements - Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided.
The related parties to whom the proposed Resolutions would permit the financial benefit to be given and the nature of the financial benefit
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Plan Options will be issued as set out in the table below. The proposed financial benefit to be given is the grant of Plans for no consideration to the Participants. The table below also sets out the amounts that will need to be paid to the Company by the Participants (or their Nominated Parties) if the Plan Options are exercised.
15
| Participant | Number of Plan Options |
Amount to be paid |
|---|---|---|
| Professor Lidgren (or his Nominated Party) |
500,000 | A 15% premium to the volume weighted average of the prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX during the one week period up to the date of grant of the Plan Options. |
| Ms Telford (or her Nominated Party) |
500,000 | A 15% premium to the volume weighted average of the prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX during the one week period up to the date of grant of the Plan Options. |
The details of the financial benefit including reasons for giving the type and quantity of the benefit
The terms of the Plan Options are set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum. The proposed grant of Plan Options to Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford (or their Nominated Parties) will be subject to the terms of the Company's Employee Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ). If, however, there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Options as set out in Schedule 2 and the Plan, the terms as set out in Schedule 2 prevail to the extent of the inconsistency
The grant of Options to Professor Lidgren (or his Nominated Party) is in recognition of work undertaken by Professor Lidgren on behalf of the Company during the financial year ended 30 June 2019 in addition to his normal duties in as a director.
The grant of Options to Ms Telford (or her Nominated Party), encourages Ms Telford, as Chief Financial Officer to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through Share ownership.
In the Company’s present circumstances, the Board further considers that the grant of these Plan Options to Ms Telford (or her Nominated Party) are a cost effective and efficient reward for the Company to make to appropriately incentivise the continued performance of Ms Telford, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as payment of cash compensation, and are consistent with the strategic goals and targets of the Company. The Board considers the grant of the Plan Options to Professor Lidgren (or his Nominated Party) as a cost effective and efficient reward for the work undertaken for the Company.
Participants Current Holdings
The current relevant interests of Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford in security holdings in the Company are as follows:
| Shares | Options | Warrants | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professor Lidgren (or his Nominated Party) |
1,133,435 | 300,000 | 54,767 |
| Ms Telford (or her Nominated Party) | 7,032,555 | 2,350,000 | 13,692 |
Dilution effect of grant of Plan Options on existing members’ interests
If passed, Resolutions 7 and 8 will give the Directors power to grant a total of 1,000,000 Plan Options on the terms and conditions as set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum and as otherwise mentioned above.
16
The Company currently has 154,696,097 Shares and the following unlisted Options and Warrants on issue:
| Security | Number | Exercise price / performance hurdle ($) |
Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warrants | 12,122,237 | 0.58 | 19 November 2020 |
| Options | 650,000 | 0.624 | 12 October 2019 |
| Options | 490,000 | 0.648 | 13 December 2019 |
| Options | 600,000 | 0.550 | 13 December 2019 |
| Options | 40,000 | 0.594 | 22 March 2020 |
| Options | 200,000 | 0.510 | 19 June 2020 |
| Options | 1,600,000 | 0.34 | 8 May 2021 |
| Options | 11,000,000 | 0.395 | 8 May 2021 |
| Options | 8,493,308 | 0.25 | 31 December 2021 |
| Options | 1,000,000 | 0.413 | 13 June 2022 |
| Options | 2,000,000 | 0.545 | 28 June 2022 |
| Options | 1,660,000 | 0.413 | 14 August 2021 |
If all of the Plan Options granted to Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford (or their Nominated Parties) as proposed above are exercised it may result in a dilution of all other Shareholders’ holdings as follows (assuming no Options other than the Plan Options granted to Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford are exercised):
| Current number of Shares on issue | 154,696,097 |
|---|---|
| Number of Plan Options to be granted under Resolutions 7 and 8 |
1,000,000 |
| Dilution effect if all Plan Options granted to Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford are exercised |
0.6% |
The market price of Shares would normally determine whether Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford will exercise the Plan Options or not. At the time any Plan Options are exercised and Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of the Plan Options, the Company’s Shares may be trading at a price which is higher than the exercise price of the Plan Options. If the Plan Options are exercised at a price that is lower than the price at which Shares are trading on ASX, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
Participating Directors’ total remuneration package
The Participant’s fees per annum (including superannuation) and the total financial benefit to be received by them in this current period, as a result of the grant of the Plan Options the subject of Resolutions 7 and 8 are as follows.
17
Shareholders have previously approved an aggregate amount of up to $450,000 to be paid as non-executive directors fees. The Directors have resolved that each non-executive Director, including Professor Lidgren, shall receive the amount of $45,000 per annum as Directors' fees.
Ms Telford, the Chief Financial Officer, receives remuneration of 225,000 per annum plus superannuation plus a bonus of up to 25% of this amount subject to achievement of key performance indicators to be agreed by the Board.
A Director may also be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine if a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. A Director may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of their directorship or any special duties.
Amounts paid to Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford in the last full financial year prior to the date of this Notice (2018/2019) are as follows:
| Short-term benefits | Short-term benefits | Post- employment benefits |
Long-term benefits |
Share- based payments |

| Ms Telford | 210,000 | 52,000 | 24,937 | 2,751 | 30,487 | 320,675 |
Additionally, the Company has previously issued Plan Options to Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford as follows:
| Name | Number Granted |
Number held at the date of this Notice |
Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professor Lidgren | 450,000 | 300,000 | 150,000 Plan Options exercisable at $0.62 expired on 24 November 2017 |
| Ms Telford | 1,600,000 | 1,100,000 | 500,000 Plan Options exercisable at $0.50 expired on 3 August 2017 250,000 Plan Options exercisable at $0.62 expired on 24 November 2017 250,000 Plan Options exercisable at $0.624 expire on 12 October 2019 |
On the basis of the assumptions below, the Company determined the technical value of one Plan Option approximates $0.194 cents using the Black & Scholes methodology. Based on this value, the value of the Plan Options to be issued to Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford (or their Nominated Parties) is as follows:
| Name | Value of Plan Options ($) |
|---|---|
| Professor Lidgren | 115,036 |
| Ms Telford | 115,036 |
18
| Name | Value of Plan Options ($) |
|---|---|
| Total | 230,078 |
The value may go up or down after that date as it will depend on the future price of a Share. Black & Scholes methodology has been used. The value of a Plan Option calculated by the Black – Scholes Model is a function of a number of variables. The valuation of the Plan Options has been prepared using the following assumptions:
-
(a) interest rate set at the Australian Government bond rate of 0.96%;
-
(b) the date of valuation for the purposes of settling the current market value of a Share is 9 October 2019;
-
(c) at this date the Share price was $0.475 which is the price used in the valuation;
-
(d) the volatility factor is 80%; and
-
(e) the Plan Options will be exercisable from the date the Plan Options vest.
Any change in the variables applied in the Black – Scholes calculation between the date of the valuation and the date the Plan Options are granted would have an impact on their value.
On the basis of the above, the total financial benefit received by the Participants is as follows:
| Name | Total Financial Benefit ($) |
|---|---|
| Professor Lidgren | 115,036 |
| Ms Telford | 115,036 |
Company’s historical Share price
The following table gives details of the highest, lowest and latest closing prices of the Company’s Shares trading on ASX over the past 12 months ending on 9 October 2019:
| Price ($) | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | 0.78 | 9 May 2019 |
| Lowest | 0.105 | 30 April 2019 |
| Last | 0.475 | 9 October 2019 |
Other Information
Under the Australian Equivalent of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the Company is required to expense the value of the Plan Options in its statement of financial performance for the current financial year.
Other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors do not consider that from an economic and commercial point of view, there are any costs or detriments including opportunity costs or taxation consequences for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Plan Options pursuant to Resolutions 7 and 8.
Neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by Resolutions 7 and 8.
19
7.4 Information Requirements – Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.15
Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval by ordinary resolution for any issue of securities by a listed company to a related party under an employee incentive scheme. Accordingly, Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholders to approve the issue of Plan Options under the Plan to the Participants.
The following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 7 and 8 for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15:
-
(a) the Plan Options will be granted to the Participants, or their Nominated Parties, as noted above;
-
(b) the maximum number of Plan Options to be granted is as follows:
-
(i) Professor Lidgren 500,000 Plan Options; and (ii) Ms Telford 500,000 Plan Options.
-
(c) the Plan Options will be granted for no consideration;
-
(d) no funds will be raised by the grant of Plan Options;
-
(e) under the Plan, only Eligible Employees or their Nominated Parties, are entitled to participate in the Plan. Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford have been determined to be Eligible Employees for the purposes of the Plan and but for the purposes of Resolutions 7 and 8 at this time, the Company is only seeking to grant Plan Options to Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford (or their Nominated Parties). The persons referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 who are entitled to participate in the Plan are Mr Anderson, Dr Washer, Professor Lidgren, Mr Qi Xiao Zhou and Ms Telford;
-
(f) the following persons referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 have received securities under the Plan since its last approval under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b):
| Name | Number of Options | Acquisition Price |
|---|---|---|
| Dr Washer | 1,850,000 | Nil |
| Mr Anderson | 2,300,000 | Nil |
| Mr Matthew Callahan | 1,850,000 | Nil |
| Mr Zhou | 300,000 | Nil |
| Professor Lidgren | 300,000 | Nil |
| Ms Telford | 850,000 | Nil |
-
(g) no loan is provided in connection with the acquisition or conversion of the Plan Options;
-
(h) the Company will grant the Plan Options no later than 12 months after the date of shareholder approval at the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. Accordingly, the grant of Plan Options to Professor Lidgren and Ms Telford (or their Nominated Parties) will not reduce the Company's 15% capacity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
Other than the information above and otherwise in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Company believes that there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolutions 7 and 8.
