3. Resolution 1 – Consolidation of capital
3.1 General
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to undertake a consolidation of its issued capital on the basis that:
-
(a) every fifteen (15) Shares be consolidated into one (1) Share;
-
(b) every fifteen (15) Options be consolidated into one (1) Option; and
-
(c) every fifteen (15) Performance Rights be consolidated into one (1) Performance Right,
( Consolidation ).
The Board considers that the Consolidation may have the following potential advantages:
-
(a) increased liquidity of the Company’s Shares as the bid ask spread is expected to be more attractive or market standard;
-
(b) increased appeal to a wider range of investors, particularly to global and offshore institutional investors; and
-
(c) may reduce:
-
(i) volatility of the Share price;
-
(ii) fluctuations in the Company's market capitalisation; and
-
(iii) the percentage transaction cost for trading in each board lot of Shares.
3.2 Section 254H of the Corporations Act
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed at a general meeting, convert all or any of its Shares into a larger or smaller number.
Listing Rule 7.20 provides that where an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must tell Equity Security holders:
-
(a) the effect of the proposal on the number of Securities and the amount unpaid (if any) on the Securities;
-
(b) the proposed treatment of any fractional entitlements; and
-
(c) the proposed treatment of any Convertible Securities on issue.
Listing Rule 7.21 provides that a listed entity which has Convertible Securities (except options) on issue may only reorganise its capital if, in respect of the Convertible Securities, the number of its Convertible Securities or the conversion price, or both, is reorganised so that the holder of the Convertible Securities will not receive a benefit that shareholders do not receive.
Page 5
Listing Rule 7.22.1 requires that when a listed entity undertakes a consolidation of capital, the number of its options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Consolidation and the number of Securities on issue is anticipated to be adjusted as follows, based on the Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice (in each case, subject to rounding up):
| Security | Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation |
|---|---|---|
| Shares | 154,918,630 | 10,327,909 |
| Options | 52,837,892 | 3,522,527 |
| Performance Rights | 13,500,000 | 900,000 |
The effective date of the Consolidation is 21 February 2024. The Consolidation timetable is set out in Section 3.7 below.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Consolidation.
3.3 Fractional entitlements
Not all Shareholders will hold that number of Securities which can be evenly divided by fifteen (15). Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Security.
3.4 Taxation
It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Shareholders arising from the Consolidation. However, Shareholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and the Company accepts no responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.
3.5
Holding statements
From the date of the Consolidation, all holding statements for Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a postConsolidation basis. After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Securities to be issued to holders of those Securities. It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to check the number of Securities held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).
3.6
Effect on capital structure
The approximate effect which the Consolidation will have on the Company’s current capital structure is set out in the tables below. All numbers are subject to rounding.
(a) Shares
| Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation | |
|---|---|---|
