SUPPLEMENTARY EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The Explanatory Statement is supplemented by including the following Sections:
8. RESOLUTION 8 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OCTOBER PLACEMENT SHARES
8.1 General
As announced on 30 October 2023, the Company received firm commitments to raise $500,000 (before costs) by way of a placement of 17,857,143 Shares (October Placement Shares) to sophisticated and professional investors (October Placement) together with one (1) free attaching option for every two (2) October Placement Shares subscribed for (October Placement Options). The October Placement Options have an exercise price of $0.05 and will expire on 24 November 2026. The October Placement Options are subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 9 of this Notice.
The October Placement Shares will be issued after the date of this Addendum, but prior to the Meeting, pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. It is currently expected that the October Placement Shares will be issued on 13 November 2023.
The issue of the October Placement Shares will not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
The Company intends to use funds raised under the October Placement for:
- (a) drilling campaigns at the Grace Projects;
- (b) advancing drilling targets at the Burraga Projects; and
- (c) costs of the capital raising and to provide ongoing working capital.
8.2 Listing Rule 7.1
As summarised in Section 4.1 of the Notice, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 22 November 2022.
The issue of the October Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the October Placement Shares.
8.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the October Placement Shares.
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the October Placement Shares.
8.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 8 is passed, the October Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the October Placement Shares.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the October Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the October Placement Shares.
It is noted that the Company's ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 3 being passed at this Meeting.
8.5 Technical 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 Resolution 8:
-
(a) the October Placement Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors. The recipients have been identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:
- (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company's Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
- (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
-
(c) a total of 17,857,143 October Placement Shares will be issued:
-
(d) the October Placement Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
-
(e) the October Placement Shares will be issued after the date of this Addendum and prior to the date of the Meeting, with a current intention for the issue to occur on 13 November 2023;
-
(f) the issue price is $0.028 per October Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the October Placement Shares;
-
(g) the purpose of the issue of the October Placement Shares is to raise $500,000 (before costs), which the Company intends to apply towards;
- (i) drilling campaigns at the Grace Projects;
- (ii) advancing drilling targets at the Burraga Projects; and
- (iii) costs of the capital raising and to provide ongoing working capital; and
-
(h) the October Placement Shares will not be issued under an agreement.
9. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OCTOBER PLACEMENT OPTIONS
9.1 General
As set out in Section 8.1 above, the Company has agreed to issue one (1) free attaching October Placement Option for every two (2) October Placement Shares subscribed for under the October Placement, subject to Shareholder approval.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 8,928,572 October Placement Options, exercisable at $0.05 per October Placement Option on or before 24 November 2026 to the sophisticated and professional recipients under the October Placement.
As summarised in Section 4.1 of the Notice, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Placement Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
9.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the October Placement Options. In addition, the issue of the October Placement Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the October Placement Options.
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the October Placement Options.
9.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 9:
- (a) the October Placement Options will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors that participated in the October Placement. The recipients have been identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;
- (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:
- (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company's Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
- (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
- (c) the maximum number of October Placement Options to be issued is 8,928,572. The terms and conditions of the October Placement Options are set out in Schedule A of the Notice;
- (d) the October Placement Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the October Placement Options will occur on the same date;
- (e) as the October Placement Options are free attaching to the October Placement Shares, the subject of Resolution 8, the Company will not receive any consideration for the issue of the October Placement Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the October Placement Options);
- (f) the October Placement Options will be issued as part of the October Placement. The purpose of the October Placement is to raise $500,000 (before costs), which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 8.1;
- (g) the October Placement Options are not being issued under an agreement; and
- (h) the October Placement Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
