Resolution 5: Ratification of prior issue of shares

This Resolution seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of a total of 128,093,700 fully paid ordinary Shares to sophisticated investor Kam's Brother Holdings Limited (which is an exempt investor and is not a related party of the Company).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company's shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the prior issue of 128,093,700 Shares to Kam's Brother Holdings Limited, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The number of securities previously issued was 128,093,700 Shares;
  • (b) The issue price of the Shares was $0.015 (1.5 cents) per Share;
  • (c) The securities issued were fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company having the same terms and rights as, and ranking equally with, the Company's existing listed fully paid ordinary Shares;
  • (d) The Shares were issued to sophisticated investor Kam's Brother Holdings Limited, which is an exempt investor and is not a related party of the Company;
  • (e) Funds raised by the issue of the shares were used to fund the Company's project activities and for working capital;
  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is contained in the Notice of General Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

Resolution 6: Approval of 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued Share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the AGM (10% Placement Facility). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see below).

The Company is seeking a mandate to issue securities under the additional 10% Placement Facility to enable the Company to pursue its growth strategy with the flexibility to act quickly as potential business opportunities arise.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 6 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 6.

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 AGM.

(b) Equity Securities

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 only 1 class of Equity Securities, being Shares.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an AGM may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the AGM, 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:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
  • (iii) 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;
  • (iv) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

*'*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 Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(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.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 982,051,715 Shares. The Company therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 0 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • (ii) 98,205,171 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

As part of this Notice, in Resolution 5 the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification of the prior issue of 128,093,700 shares issued on 1 September 2014 under Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 5 is approved by shareholders then the Company will have the capacity to issue:

  • (i) 147,307,757 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • (ii) 98,205,171 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

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 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 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 AGM 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 AGM at which the approval is obtained; or
  • (i) 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),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX (10% Placement Period).

Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 7 will be to allow the Company 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.

Resolution 7 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).

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 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 7 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is 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 part of consideration 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.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable "A" has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares 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 Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

1,964,103,430 Shares Funds raised $392,820 $785,641 $1,571,282

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) No Options are issued and exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
  • (ii) 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%.
  • (iii) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
  • (iv) The issue price is $0.004, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 17 October 2014.
  • c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 6 for the issue of the Equity Securities 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:
    • (i) for cash consideration, in which case the Company may use the funds raised towards making (or to securing the right to make) one or more acquisitions and/or to further its existing projects; and/or general working capital; or
    • (ii) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of (or securing the right to make acquisitions of) new projects and investments or to further its existing projects. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

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 the 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 issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
  • (ii) the effect of the issues of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
  • (iv) 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.

  • e) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
  • f) 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 a related party or an Associate of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

g) The Company has not previously sought or obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3 A.6 the total number of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of this Notice of Meeting is 136,343,700 representing 16.1% of the Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period.

The Company has issued the following Equity Securities in the 12 months preceding the date of this Notice:

Table 2 – Previous equity issues

In the 12 months preceding the date of this Notice of Meeting the Company has received total cash consideration of $1,921,405. The Company has used $442,876 of the cash consideration received to fund working capital and repay loans.

The Directors intend to use the working capital existing at the date of this Notice (which includes funds raised pursuant to the above placements) to provide working capital and to pursue its growth strategy with the flexibility to act quickly as potential business opportunities arise.

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

Directors' recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

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).

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

VOTING ENTITLEMENT

For the purposes of determining voting entitlements at the Meeting, Shares will be taken to be held by the persons who are registered as holding the Shares at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 24 November 2014. Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.

If you appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, you will also be appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as your alternate proxy to act as your proxy in the event the named proxy does not attend the Meeting.

Votes on Items of Business – Proxy Appointment

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Company's share registry or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
  • (b) return both forms together.
