Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further Equity Securities, to the extent of 46,916,667 Equity Securities, during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

3.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the SPP Options:

  • (a) a total of 44,416,668 SPP Options were issued;
  • (b) the SPP Options were issued on 20 December 2019 pursuant to the SPP;
  • (c) the SPP Options are exercisable at $0.02 each, on or before 16 December 2022 and are otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2;
  • (d) fully paid ordinary Shares issued on exercise of the SPP Options rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;
  • (e) the SPP Options were issued to eligible shareholders under the SPP;
  • (f) no funds were raised from the issue of the SPP Options, as they were issued as attaching Options to SPP participants; and
  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4. Resolutions 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) - Approval to issue SPP Options to Directors

4.1 General

Please refer to Resolution 1 for details of the SPP.

On 20 December 2019, the Company issued 2,499,999 attaching SPP Options to Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak and Patrick McManus and released an Appendix 3Y for each Director.

On 22 January 2020, the Company announced that 2,499,999 attaching SPP Options were inadvertently issued to the Directors who participated in the SPP. As the issue of Options to Directors under an SPP requires prior Shareholder approval, these Options have been cancelled and an updated Appendix 3Y for each Director was lodged onto the ASX platform.

Resolutions 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to section 195(4) of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the grant of a total of 2,499,999 SPP Options (being 1 unquoted Option for every 2 Shares issued under the SPP) to the Directors of the Company as follows:

Director Name Number of Options
Adrian Griffin (or his nominee) 833,333
Bahay Ozcakmak (or his nominee) 833,333
Patrick McManus (or his nominee) 833,333
Total 2,499,999

The SPP Options will be exercisable at $0.02 each and expiring on 16 December 2022. The full terms and conditions of the SPP Options are set out in Schedule 2.

Resolutions 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) are ordinary resolutions.

If Resolutions 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) ) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the SPP Options to Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak and Patrick McManus and the Directors will receive SPP Options as set out above.

If Resolutions 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Options and the Directors will not be issued any SPP Options.

As the grant of the SPP Options involves the issue of securities to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies.

The Board (excluding Mr Griffin, Mr Ozcakmak and Mr McManus) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c).

4.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak and Patrick McManus are related parties by virtue of their position as Directors. As the Participation involves the grant of SPP Options to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of Options will not be included under the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of SPP Options:

  • (a) the SPP Options will be issued to Directors Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak and Patrick McManus;
  • (b) pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.1, Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak and Patrick McManus are related parties by virtue of being Directors;
  • (c) the maximum number of SPP Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted is detailed in Section 4.1 above;
  • (d) the SPP Options will be granted to Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak and Patrick McManus (or their respective nominees) no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the SPP Options will be issued on one date;
  • (e) no funds will be raised from the issue of the SPP Options as they are free-attaching to the SPP Shares;
  • (f) the primary purpose of the grant of the SPP Options to the Directors is to issue 1 free-attaching SPP Options for every 2 Shares issued under the SPP;
  • (g) the terms and conditions of the SPP Options are set out in Schedule 2; and
  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.4 Section 195 of the Corporations Act

As it is proposed that the SPP Options be issued to three out of four Directors, the Directors have been unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies to these issues. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the SPP Options to Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak and Patrick McManus.

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company must not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a 'material personal interest' are being considered.

Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak and Patrick McManus have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) (as applicable). The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the SPP Options to Shareholders to resolve.

4.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Participation will result in the grant of SPP Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak, and Patrick McManus being Directors of the Company.

Patrick Power, who does not have a material personal interest in Resolutions 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c), considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the SPP Options as the SPP Options will be issued on the same terms upon which the SPP Options will be issued to non-related party participants in the SPP and as such, he considers that the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

5. Resolution 3 - Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares and attaching Placement Options

5.1 General

On 23 December 2019, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement (Placement) to raise approximately $1.67 million before costs by the issue of a total of 277,833,333 Shares at $0.006 each (Placement Shares), together with one free-attaching unquoted Option (Placement Options) for every two Placement Shares subscribed for and issued to sophisticated and professional investors (Placement Participants).

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the LR7.1 Placement Securities that were issued within the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 capacity.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is contained in Section 3.2 above.

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further Equity Securities, to the extent of 116,500,000 Equity Securities, during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

The remaining Placement Participants are not considered to be "material investors" for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.2;
  • (f) the proceeds from the issue of the LR7.1 Placement Securities are intended to be used to provide the Company with a robust cash position and a platform from which to execute the 2020 business plan, with a particular emphasis on accelerating the commercialisation of the aMES technology, as well as for costs of the Placement and general working capital; and

If Resolutions 9 to 12 (inclusive) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options to Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak, Patrick McManus and Patrick Power and the Directors will receive Options as set out above.

If Resolutions 9 to 12 (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Options and the Directors will not be issued any Options.

As the grant of the Related Party Options involves the issue of securities to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies.

As it is proposed that the Related Party Options be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors have been unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies to these issues. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Related Party Options to Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak, Patrick McManus and Patrick Power.

  • (a) Mr Griffin declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 9 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee) is to be granted the Related Party Options should Resolution 9 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 10, 11 and 12, Mr Griffin recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

    • (i) the grant of the Related Party Options will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;
    • (ii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given; and
    • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;
  • (b) Mr Ozcakmak declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 10 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee) is to be granted the Related Party Options should Resolution 10 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 9, 11 and 12, Mr Griffin recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph 7.1(a);

  • (c) Mr McManus declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 11 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee) is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 11 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 9, 10 and 12, Mr McManus recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph 7.1(a);

  • (d) Mr Power declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 12 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee) is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 12 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 9, 10 and 11, Mr Power recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph 7.1(a); and

  • (e) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Director, the market price of Shares prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price (relative to the market price of Shares prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting) and expiry date of those Related Party Options.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (c) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
  • (d) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

The Participation will result in the grant of Related Party Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak, Patrick McManus and Patrick Power being Directors of the Company.

The Board (other than Adrian Griffin, Bahay Ozcakmak, Patrick McManus and Patrick Power, who has a material personal interest in Resolutions 9, 10, 11 and 12 respectively) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Related Party Options as the agreement to grant the Related Party Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for each of the Related Parties, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on arm's length terms

9. Resolution 13 – Approval to grant Executive Options to Executives of the Company

Schedule 2 Terms and conditions of SPP Options, Placement Options, Broker Options, Incentive Options, Related Party Options and Executive Options

Each SPP Option and Placement Option (collectively, the Option) entitles the holder to subscribe for a Share on the following terms and conditions:

(a) Entitlement

Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the Option.

(b) Exercise Price

The exercise price of each Option is $0.02.

(c) Expiry Date

Each Option has an expiry date of 16 December 2022.

(d) Exercise Period

Each Option is exercisable at any time on or before 16 December 2022.

(e) Quotation

No application will be made for Quotation of the Options.

(f) Transferability

The Options will be transferable, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

(g) Notice of Exercise

Each Option may be exercised by notice in writing to the Company together with the payment for the number of Shares in respect of which the Options are exercised at any time during the Exercise Period. Any notice of exercise of a Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of the relevant number of Options as at the date of receipt of the notice and accompanying payment (Exercise Date).

(h) Timing of issue of Shares on exercise

Within 15 Business Days after the Exercise Date the Company will:

  • (A) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Options specified in the notice of exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company; and
  • (B) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option.

Shares issued on exercise of Options rank equally in all respects with the then issued fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.

(j) Quotation of Shares on exercise

Application will be made by the Company to ASX for Quotation of the Shares issued upon the exercise of an Option.

(k) Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options.

However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be the minimum period required by the Listing Rules. This will give the holder of an Option the opportunity to exercise the Option prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

(l) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction, of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):

  • (A) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the SPP Option holder would have received if the Option holder had exercised their Options before the record date for the bonus issue; and
  • (B) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

(m) Adjustment for rights issue

New exercise price = O -

If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Exercise Price of each Option will be reduced according to the following formula:

$$ E[P-(S+D)] $$

$$ N+1 $$

  • O = the old Exercise Price of the Options.
  • E = the number of underlying Shares into which one Option is exercisable.
  • P = average market price per Share weighted by reference to volume of the underlying Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex-rights date or ex entitlements date.

  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue).
  • N = the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new share.

(n) Adjustments for reorganisation
