Resolutions Adoption of Performance Rights Plan and Issue of Performance Rights 6, 7, 8 and 9
Resolution 6 is proposed to introduce a performance rights plan (“the Mining Projects Group Performance Rights Plan” or “the Plan”) to give officers and executives (including executive and non-executive directors of the Company or its subsidiaries) the opportunity to take up shares in the Company.
Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 seek shareholder approval for the issue under the Plan of an aggregate of 77 million Performance Rights to the Company’s Directors, Mr Joshua Wellisch (55 million) , Mr Dehong Yu (11 million) and Mr Neil Hutchison (11 million). Subject to approval of the Plan, the Company also intends to issue a further 22 million Performance Rights to Mr Adrien Wing, the Company Secretary.
The Performance Rights entitle the holder to one fully paid ordinary share upon achievement of the applicable Milestones. The Performance Rights are described as Series A, B or C and have the terms set out in the table below:
| Series | Recipient/Number | Number of Performance Rights |
Milestone ^ | Achieved |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Joshua Wellisch | 16,500,000 | Market capitalisation of the Company of $20 million or more. |
Within 4 years (by 28 July 2019). |
| Dehong Yu | 3,333,333 | |||
| Neil Hutchison | 3,333,333 | |||
| Adrien Wing | 6,666,666 | |||
| B | Joshua Wellisch | 16,500,000 | Market capitalisation of the Company of $30 million or more. |
Within 5 years (by 28 July 2020). |
| Dehong Yu | 3,333,333 | |||
| Neil Hutchison | 3,333,333 | |||
| Adrien Wing | 6,666,666 | |||
| C | Joshua Wellisch | 22,000,000 | Market capitalisation of the Company of $40 million or more. |
Within 5 years (by 28 July 2020). |
| Dehong Yu | 4,333,334 | |||
| Neil Hutchison | 4,333,334 | |||
| Adrien Wing | 8,666,668 |
^ If a Milestone is not achieved within the period stated, the applicable Performance Rights cannot be converted or exercised, and lapse and are cancelled automatically.
The Performance Rights in each series above convert automatically upon achievement of the Milestone applicable to that series without payment of any additional consideration. The Performance Rights are not subject to vesting conditions. The Milestones do not include continuing to be an officer or executive and a participant’s termination or resignation as an officer or executive of the Company (or that of the applicable individual who nominated the participant) does not affect the Performance Rights or cause them to lapse. No loan has or will be made in respect of the issue, conversion, vesting or exercise of the Performance Rights.
Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 are subject to Resolution 6 (the adoption of the Mining Projects Group Performance Rights Plan) being passed.
The objects of the Mining Projects Group Performance Rights Plan are to:
-
provide an incentive for eligible participants;
-
recognise the eligible participants and their expected efforts and contribution in the performance and success of the Company;
-
provide eligible participants with the opportunity to acquire performance rights, and ultimately shares, in the Company in accordance with the Plan rules.
A summary of the Mining Projects Group Performance Rights Plan is set out in Annexure A.
Mining Projects Group Limited | General Meeting 2015
Page | 12
Regulatory Requirements- Corporations Act sections 259B and 260C
The proposed Plan provides that the Company may, at its election, issue new shares or procure the transfer of existing shares on the conversion or exercise of performance rights held by a participant.
The provision of performance rights to a participant resulting in Company procuring a transfer of existing shares may be regarded as the Company providing financial assistance to a person to acquire Mining Projects Group shares which, subject to certain exceptions, is prohibited by section 260A of the Corporations Act.
Under section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act, a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the company if the financial assistance is given under an employee share scheme that has been approved by shareholders at a general meeting. Accordingly, Resolutions 6 seeks the approval of shareholders of the Mining Projects Group Performance Rights Plan and the issue of Performance Rights under the Plan.
It is noted that, notwithstanding the above shareholder approval, the definition of ‘employee share scheme’ under the Corporations Act only covers a scheme where shares are acquired by, or for the benefit of, employees or directors who hold salaried employment or office in the company or a related body corporate. This definition is unlikely to cover a director participating in the Mining Projects Group Performance Rights Plan where that director does not receive a salary from the Company or a related body corporate. As such, the Plan provides that any shares to be provided upon conversion or exercise of performance rights by non-salaried directors will be new shares issued and allotted to the non-salaried director, rather than existing shares acquired by or on behalf of the non-salaried director by way of purchase and transfer.
It is possible that, if the Plan places restrictions on the transfer of shares acquired on the conversion or exercise of performance rights these restrictions may on one view constitute the Company ‘taking security’ over its own shares. Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company must not take security over shares in itself except as permitted under the Corporations Act. Section 259B(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company may take security over shares in itself under an employee share scheme that has been approved by shareholders at a general meeting. Therefore, seeking shareholder approval provides flexibility for the Company to include restrictions on transfers of shares issued under the Plan without breaching the Corporations Act.
Regulatory Requirements- ASX Listing Rules Chapter 7
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires that shareholder approval is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the entity during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
An exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, under Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2, is securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within 3 years of shareholder approval of that scheme. The Company therefore seeks approval under Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2 so that any issue of securities under the Mining Projects Group Performance Rights Plan does not impede the capacity of the Company to issue up to a further 15% of its capital without shareholder approval.
A notice of meeting seeking approval under Exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.2 must include a summary of the terms of the performance rights plan. As noted above, a summary of the Mining Projects Group Performance Rights Plan is set out in Annexure A.
Securities issued under the Plan since last approved
Exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.2 also requires the details of the number of securities issued under the Plan since it was last approved.
No plan to which Exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.2 has previously been approved, and no securities have been issued under such a plan.
- Regulatory Requirements ASX Listing Rules Chapter 10
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit a director or an associate of a director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of ordinary shareholders.
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 does not apply to securities purchased on-market under the terms of an employee incentive scheme that provides for the purchase of securities by or on behalf of employees or directors however, by seeking approval under Listing Rule 10.14, the Company will preserve flexibility over how the Mining Projects Group Performance Rights Plan is implemented.
ASX Listing Rule 10.15 requires that a notice of meeting seeking approval under clause ASX Listing Rule 10.14 contain the information set out below.
Mining Projects Group Limited | General Meeting 2015
Page | 13
The maximum number of securities that may be acquired by persons for whom approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 is required is the maximum number of securities which may be issued under the Plan. The Company must not issue a performance right under the Plan if, the aggregate of:
-
the number of shares which would be issued were each outstanding offer of shares, options and performance rights to acquire unissued shares were accepted, converted or exercised;
-
the number of shares issued during the previous 5 years pursuant to the Performance Rights Plan or any other employee share scheme extending;
would, at the time of the proposed issue, exceed 5% of the total number of Mining Projects Group’s then issued shares. Provided that certain issues may be disregarded when calculating the 5% figure including issues made by way of or as a result of an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act.
Unless the committee established under the Plan determines otherwise no payment of money is required for the issue of a performance right or the vesting, conversion or exercise of a performance right issued under the Plan. Each security issued under the Plan will be issued for no consideration upon achievement of the Milestone to that security which are set out above.
Details of any securities issued under the Performance Rights Plan will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which securities have been issued, and that approval for the issue of securities was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
The last date by which Performance Rights will be issued under the Plan is 28 July 2018, being 3 years after the date of the meeting at which shareholder approval is sought. Performance Rights to be issued as set out in Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 and those further performance rights to be issued to Mr Adrien Wing are expected to be issued within three (3) business days after the meeting.
The Performance Rights will be issued in connection with services provided to the Company by the participants (or the individual who nominates the relevant participant) for no additional consideration.
Voting exclusion statements in respect of Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 are contained in the Notice of General Meeting accompanying this Explanatory Statement.
Directors entitled to participate in the Plan
The names of all the current Directors who would be entitled to participate in the Mining Projects Group Performance Rights Plan (or whose associates or nominees would be entitled to participate) are:
-
Mr Joshua Wellisch;
-
Mr Dehong Yu; and
-
Mr Neil Hutchison.
There are currently no other directors or proposed directors or their associates entitled to participate in the Plan. Any additional director (or a nominee or associate) who becomes entitled to participate in the Performance Rights Plan and who is not named in this Explanatory Statement will not participate until further shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
– Corporations Act Chapter 2E
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a “financial benefit” to a “related party” unless one of the exceptions to the section apply or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.
Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that one of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a related party is where the benefit is given to the related party as an officer of the Company and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given:
-
the circumstances of the Company; and
-
the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).
The Performance Rights to be issued to directors have been independently valued by consultants to the Company using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, and are ascribed a value as follows:
| Series A Performance Rights | $0.0073 per Series A Performance Right |
|---|---|
| Series B Performance Rights | $0.0069 per Series B Performance Right |
| Series C Performance Rights | $0.0068 per Series C Performance Right |
Mining Projects Group Limited | General Meeting 2015
Page | 14
The valuations noted above are not necessarily the market prices that the Performance Rights could be traded at if they were able to be traded and they are not automatically the market prices for taxation purposes.
If all the Performance Rights described above convert, the Directors’ respective (direct and indirect) relevant interests in shares and options (assuming no other acquisitions or disposals of shares or options, whether by exercising options or otherwise) would be as follows:
| Existing Shares | Performance |
Total if all |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Rights proposed to be issued |
Performance Rights convert |
||
| Mr Joshua Wellisch | Nil | 55,000,000 | 55,000,000 |
| Mr Dehong Yu | 110,000,000 | 11,000,000 | 121,000,000 |
| Mr Neil Hutchison | 12,933,334 | 11,000,000 | 23,933,334 |
Note: Table above does not include option holdings of Directors. As at the date of this Notice, the Directors held relevant interests in the following options: (a) Joshua Wellisch – 60,000,000 unlisted options; (b) Dehong Yu – 55,000,000 listed options [MPJO]; and (c) Neil Hutchison – 15,000,000 unlisted options.
The Company considers the proposed issues are reasonable remuneration and, as such, fall within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act.
In reaching this view, the Company has considered the respective positions and responsibilities of each of the Directors and their overall remuneration packages having regard for to remuneration packages offered by similar ASX-listed companies. The Company has also considered its reliance on a limited number of personnel and the need to retain that personnel, the need for the Company to effectively incentivise each of the Directors while aligning the incentive with increasing shareholder value, the desirability of preserving cash resources within the Company, and the terms of the Performance Rights. The Company considers that the issue of Performance Rights to directors is an effective tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company and its group entities whilst providing valuable consideration for the Directors linked to the future success of the Company.
NOTE:
Unless otherwise specified, all monetary amounts are expressed in Australian dollars .

The Performance Rights offered under the Plan may be subject performance, vesting, conversion or other conditions determined by the Plan Committee. These performances, vesting, conversion and/or other conditions will be specified in an offer of Performance Rights to an Executive. If the offer in respect of any Performance Right specifies any performance hurdle(s), the Performance Right will not convert or cannot be exercised (as the case requires) and will not be taken to have been converted or exercised unless and until the applicable performance hurdle(s) has or have been achieved (unless the performance hurdle(s) is or are permitted to be waived, in whole or in part, by the Plan Committee under the listing rules of ASX, and are so waived).
Mining Projects Group Limited | General Meeting 2015
Page | 16
An Eligible Executive that accepts an offer of Performance Rights (or his or her nominee) is known as a Participant. Each Performance Right will, upon conversion or exercise in accordance with its terms of issue, entitle the Participant to one Share. Under the Rules, upon conversion or exercise of a Performance Right, the Company must:
-
subject to the bullet point below, procure the transfer of one Share or issue and allot one Share to the Participant; or
-
if the Participant is a director of a body corporate in the Group but does not hold salaried employment or office in a body corporate in the Group, then the Company must issue and allot one Share to the Participant.
Generally, if an Exercise Period is specified or described a Performance Right may be exercised at any time during the Exercise Period for that Performance Right. A Performance Right may only convert or be exercised before the Exercise Period where (if and then only to the extent permitted by the listing rules of ASX):
-
an Accelerated Vesting Event occurs while a Participant is employed with or holds an office with the Group and the Plan Committee brings forward the First Exercise Date or waives or varies any performance hurdles; or
-
if the offer of Performance Rights accepted by the Participant provides for certain circumstances where the First Exercise Date is brought forward or the performance hurdles are waived or varied and, those circumstances occur.
The Plan provides that Performance Rights may only be transferred, by an instrument of transfer, in the following circumstances (each of which is an Accelerated Vesting Event):
-
a transfer constituting the necessary transfer documents following an acceptance of an offer made under an off-market bid relating to Performance Rights;
-
a transfer to a bidder on the sale of the Performance Rights under Division 3 of Part 6A.I of the Corporations Act;
-
a transfer to a 100% holder on the sale of the Performance Rights under Division 2 of Part 6A.2 of the Corporations Act;
-
a transfer under Part 6A.3 of the Corporations Act to a person entitled to acquire Performance Rights under section 661A or 664A of the Corporations Act; or
-
a transfer approved by the Board in those circumstances as may be determined by the Board.
The Plan Committee must take reasonable steps to ensure that Performance Rights are not granted or issued to a Participant under the Performance Rights Plan if the number of Shares the subject of the Performance Rights or that are to be received on the conversion or exercise of the Performance Rights when aggregated with:
-
the number of Shares which would be issued were each outstanding offer with respect to Shares, units of Shares, options and performance rights to acquire unissued Shares, under an employee share scheme to be accepted, converted or exercised; and
-
the number of Shares issued during the previous five years pursuant to the Plan or any other employee share scheme extending only to eligible officers or employees of the Company,
would exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares as at the time of the proposed grant or issue.
For the purpose of calculating the 5% limit, any off made, or option of Performance Right acquired or Share issued by way of or as a result of:
-
an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside of Australia;
-
an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act;
-
an offer that did not require the giving of a Product Disclosure Statement because of section 1012D of the Corporations Act; or
-
an offer made under a disclosure document or Product Disclosure Statement,
can be disregarded.
