| Use of Funds | $ |
|---|---|
| Advancing Lake Barlee exploration programme | $2,000,000 |
| Exploration at Dandaragan Trough | $500,000 |
| Working capital | $500,000 |
| Total | $3,000,000 |
the Company intends to use the funds raised from the Placement as follows:
5.4 Voting Dilution
Any issue of Shares under the Placement will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the Placement.
The volume weighted average price (VWAP) for Shares on the 5 days on which sales in Shares were recorded before 3 July 2018 was $0.01023. The lowest issue price (i.e. maximum discount) of not less than 80% of this volume weighted average price would be $0.00818 per Share.
Accordingly, set out below is a worked example of the number of Shares that may be issued under the Resolution based on an assumed issue price of $0.010 (being the Share price as at 3 July 2018), and $0.00818 and $0.00921 (being 80% and 90% of the VWAP for Shares on the 5 days on which sales in Shares were recorded before 3 July 2018, respectively).
| Assumedissue price | Maximum number of FullyPaid Ordinary Shares whichthe Company could issue(rounded up to the nearestwhole number) pursuant tothis Resolution | Current Fully PaidOrdinary Shares onissue as at the dateof this Notice | Increased number of FullyPaid Ordinary Shares on issueassuming the Company issuedthe maximum amountpursuant to this Resolution | Dilution effect onexistingShareholders |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.010 | 300,000,000 | 594,814,654 | 894,814,654 | 33.53% |
| $0.00818 | 366,748,166 | 594,814,654 | 961,562,820 | 38.14% |
| $0.00921 | 325,732,899 | 594,814,654 | 920,547,553 | 35.38% |
The table above uses the following assumptions:
- The total number of Fully Paid Ordinary Shares on issue is 594,814,654
- The Company issues the maximum possible number of Shares under the Placement.
- Figures have been rounded up to the nearest whole number.

-
- A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the shareholder's voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.
-
- A duly appointed proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
-
- Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the proxy form or otherwise with the provisions of section 127 of the Corporations Act. section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
- Directors of the company;
- a Director and a company secretary of the company; or
- for a proprietary company that has a sole Director who is also the sole company secretary – that Director.
For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole Director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
-
- Completion of a proxy form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the meeting in person, then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the meeting.
-
- Where a proxy form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
-
- To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form enclosed and either:
- (a) send the proxy form by post to Parkway Minerals NL, PO Box 1088, West Perth, Western Australia 6984; or
- (b) send the proxy form by facsimile to the Company on facsimile number (08) 9475 0847; or
- (c) send the proxy form by e-mail to the Company at [email protected],
so that it is received not later than 9:00am WST on Monday 13 August 2018.
