Explanatory Memorandum
Introduction
This Explanatory Memorandum is provided to shareholders of Platina Resources Limited ABN 25 119 007 939 (Company) to explain the resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held at the offices of HopgoodGanim, Level 7, Waterfront Place, 1 Eagle Street, Brisbane Qld 4000 on 26 November 2012 commencing at 10.00am (EST/Brisbane time).
The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
1. Consider the Company's 2012 Annual Report
The Corporations Act requires the Financial Report, Directors' Report, Auditor's Report, Directors' Declaration, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to and forming part of the financial statements for the Company and its controlled entities to be placed before the Annual General Meeting. There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or in the Constitution of the Company for Shareholders to approve the Company's Annual Report. The Company's 2012 Annual Report is placed before the shareholders for discussion. No voting is required for this item.
2. Resolution One – Re‐Election of Brian Moller as a Director
Mr Brian Moller retires at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Company's Constitution and, being eligible, offers himself for re‐election as a Non‐Executive Director.
Mr Moller's qualifications and experience
Mr Moller was appointed as a Non‐Executive Director of the Company on 31 January 2007.
Brian Moller is a corporate partner in the Brisbane‐based law firm HopgoodGanim Lawyers, the Australian solicitors to the Company. He was admitted as a Solicitor in 1981 and has been a partner at HopgoodGanim since 1983. He practices almost exclusively in the corporate area with an emphasis on capital raising, mergers and acquisitions.
Brian Moller holds an LLB Hons from the University of Queensland and is a member of the Australian Mining and Petroleum Law Association.
Brian Moller acts for many publicly‐listed resource and industrial companies and brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the board, particularly in the corporate regulatory and governance areas. Mr Moller is a non‐executive director of DGR Global Limited, Solomon Gold plc, and Navaho Gold Limited, and Chairman of Ausnico Limited.
The Directors (with Mr Moller abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.
4. Resolution Two ‐ Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors' Report section of the Annual Report. The Annual Report is available to download on the Company's website, www.platinaresources.com.au.
Under Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
However, under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings , the Company will be required to put to shareholders a resolution at the second of those Annual General Meeting's proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the election of directors of the Company ("spill resolution").
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution, the Company must convene the Extraordinary General Meeting ("spill meeting") within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. All of the directors who were in office when the second (consecutive) Directors' Report was considered at the second (consecutive) Annual General Meeting, other than the Managing Director, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the spill meeting but may stand for re‐election at the spill meeting. Following the spill meeting those persons whose election or re‐election as directors is approved will be the directors of the Company.
We note that at the 2011 Annual General Meeting less than 25% of the votes cast were voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report included in the 2011 Annual Report.
In summary the Remuneration Report:
- explains the Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of executive directors and senior executives of the Company;
- explains the relationship between the Board's remuneration policy and the Company's performance;
- sets out remuneration details for each Director and the most highly remunerated senior executive of the Company; and
- details and explains any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of executives directors and senior executives of the Company.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.
The Company encourages all Shareholders not excluded from voting to cast their votes on Resolution Two.
If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution Two by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Proxy Form for that item of business.
If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman as the Shareholder's proxy in relation to Resolution Two, but does not complete any of the boxes "For", "Against" or "Abstain" opposite that resolution on the proxy form, that Shareholder will be directing the Chairman to vote in favour of Resolution Two. To appoint the Chairman as proxy with a direction to vote against, or to abstain from voting on Resolution Two Shareholders must specify this by completing the "Against" or "Abstain" boxes on the proxy form.
Noting that each director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.
5. Resolution Three – Performance Rights Plan
5.1 Introduction
Pursuant to resolution three, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Performance Rights Plan and approval for any potential future issues of securities pursuant to the Performance Rights Plan as an exception under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(b) to Listing Rule 7.1.
5.2 Background and Reasons for the Performance Rights Plan
The Company has conducted a review of its remuneration policy which has resulted in the Company, in line with current market practice, moving away from the use of options and has lead the Company to adopt the Performance Rights Plan, which will allow the Company to grant different types of appropriately structured performance‐based awards to eligible employees, depending upon the prevailing circumstances and having regard to market practices generally.
The Performance Rights Plan is designed to provide incentives to the employees of the Company, including Directors of the Company who hold a salaried employment or office in the Company, and to recognise their contribution to the Company's success. Under the Company's current circumstances the Directors consider that the use of Performance Rights are a cost effective and efficient incentive for the Company as opposed to relying solely on alternative forms of incentives such as the issue of options, cash bonuses or increased remuneration. To enable the Company to secure and retain key employees who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives, it is necessary to provide remuneration and incentives to such personnel. The Performance Rights Plan is designed to achieve this objective by encouraging long term employment with the Company and continued improvement in performance over time and encouraging personnel to acquire and retain an interest in the Company.
The Performance Rights Plan provides for the issue of Performance Rights which, upon a determination by the Board that performance conditions attached to the Performance Rights have been met, will result in the issue of one ordinary share in the Company for each Performance Right granted.
5.3 ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing new shares equivalent in number to more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period, except in limited circumstances, without the approval of its shareholders.
Exception 9 allows the Company to issued securities under the Performance Rights Plan without the issue of such securities being counted towards the Company's 15% issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, where Shareholders have approved the issue of securities under Listing Rule 7.1, where Shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the Performance Rights Plan as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1, three (3) years prior to the issue of the securities. Resolution 4 is being put to Shareholders for this purpose and will allow the Company to utilise Exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.1 for three (3) years from the date of the Resolution being passed.
A summary of the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights Plan is set out in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum.
5.4 Further Considerations
The Company believes that it will derive a significant benefit by incentivising its senior management and key employees through the issue of Performance Rights under the Performance Rights Plan. Additionally, the Company believes it to be in the best interests of the Company to preserve the maximum commercial flexibility to issue Shares that is afforded to it by Listing Rule 7.1
The Directors recommend that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.
6. Resolution Four – Approval for the Company to issue an additional 10% of the issued capital of the Company over a 12 month period
6.1 Introduction
Pursuant to Resolution 6, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. If passed, this resolution will allow the Company to issue and allot up to 11,325,085 Shares (10% Securities) each at an issue price of at least 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the Company's quoted class of Securities (calculated over the last 15 days on which trades in the quoted Securities are recorded, and immediately before the date on which the price at which the Shares are to be issued is agreed, or if not within 5 trading days of that date, the date on which the Shares are issued) (Issue Price).
This approval is sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A which recently came into effect. Under newly issued Listing Rule 7.1A, small and mid‐cap listed entities that meet the eligibility threshold and have obtained the approval of their ordinary Shareholders by special resolution at the annual general meeting (AGM), are permitted to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period from the date of the AGM (Additional 10% Issue). The Additional 10% Issue under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the ability of the Company to issue 15% of its issued capital without Shareholder approval over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. The Company may issue the 10% Securities to raise funds for the Company and as non‐ cash consideration (further details of which are set out below).
Funds raised from the issue of 10% Securities are intended to be used as follows:
- working capital;
- further drilling and evaluation of the Owendale Platinum and Scandium Project;
- further evaluation of the Skaergaard Project in Greenland; and
- acquisition and identification of new exploration and development projects.
6.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
1. General
1. Eligibility
An entity is eligible to undertake an Additional 10% Issue if at the time of its AGM it has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and it is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index. As required by the Listing Rules, the Company's market capitalisation will be based on the closing price on the Trading Day before the AGM, and will be released by the Company to the ASX at that time. The calculation of market capitalisation will be based on the Closing Price of the Shares in the main class of Shares of the Company, on the last Trading Day on which trades in the Shares were recorded before the date of the AGM, multiplied by the number of Shares on issue (in that main class, but excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis).
For illustrative purposes only, on 18 October 2012 the Company's market capitalisation was $7,361,305 based on the Closing Trading Price on that date.
The Company is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index as at the time of issue of this Notice of Meeting and the Company does not expect that it will be included in the S&P/ASX300 Index at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
The Company is therefore an eligible entity and able to undertake an Additional 10% Issue under Listing Rule 7.1A.
In the event that the Company is no longer an eligible entity to undertake an Additional 10% Issue after the Company has already obtained ordinary security holders' approval, the approval obtained will not lapse and the Company will still be entitled to undertake the Additional 10% Issue.
2. Shareholder approval
The ability to issue the 10% Securities under the Additional 10% Issue is conditional upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution at the Annual General Meeting. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, no Shares will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at Annual General Meeting.
2. Issue Period – Listing Rule 7.1A.1
Shareholder approval of the Additional 10% Issue under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
- the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
- the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 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.
If approval is given for the Additional 10% Issue at the Annual General Meeting on 26 November 2012 then the approval will expire, unless there is a significant change to the Company's Business, on 26 November 2013.
3. Calculation for Additional 10% Issue – Listing Rule 7.1A.2
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at AGM may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Shares 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:
-
- plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
- plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
- 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;
-
- less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.
D is 10 percent.
E is the number of Shares 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.
4. Listing Rule 7.1A.3
1. Shares
Shares issued under the Additional 10% Issue must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Shares of the Company.
The Company presently has 113,250,859 of Shares as at the date of this notice. However, the Company is only seeking approval to issue ordinary Shares under the Additional 10% Issue in addition to its 15% capacity permitted under Listing Rule 7.1.
2. Minimum Issue Price
The issue price for the 10% Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Shares in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
- A. the date on which the price at which the 10% Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
- B. if the 10% Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (A) above, the date on which the 10% Securities are issued.
As required by the Listing Rules, the Company's market capitalisation based on the closing price on the Trading Day before the Annual General Meeting will be released by the Company to the ASX at that time.
5. Information to be given to ASX – Listing Rule 7.1A.4
If Resolution 6 is passed and the Company issues any 10% Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the Company will give to ASX:
-
- a list of alottees of the 10% Securities and the number of 10% Securities allotted to each (this list will not be released to the market); and
-
- the following information required by rule 3.10.5A, will be released to the market on the date of issue:
- A. details of the dilution to the existing holders of Shares caused by the issue;
- B. where the Shares are issued for cash consideration, a statement of the reasons why the Company issued the Shares as a placement under rule 7.1A and not as (or in addition to)
a pro rata issue or other type of issue in which existing Shareholders would have been eligible to participate;
- C. details of any underwriting arrangements, including any fees payable to the underwriter; and
- D. any other fees or costs incurred in connection with the issue.
6. Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Shares 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 113,250,859 Shares, and therefore has the capacity to issue:
-
- 16,987,628 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
- 11,325,085 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Shares that the Company will have the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Shares in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as above).
6.3 Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
a) Minimum Price of securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A – Listing Rule 7.3A.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.1, the 10% Securities issued pursuant to approval under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Shares over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
- the date on which the price at which the 10% Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
- if the 10% Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (1) above, the date on which the 10% Securities are issued.
The Company intends to issue the Shares within 5 Trading Days of approval of the Additional 10% Issue and will disclose to the ASX the Issue Price on the date of issue of the 10% Securities.
b) Risk of economic and voting dilution – Listing Rule 7.3A.2
As provided by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, if the Additional 10% Issue is passed by Shareholders and the Company issues the 10% Securities, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to the existing ordinary security holders of the Company. The Company currently has on issue 113,250,859 Shares. Upon the Additional 10% Issue, the Company will have approval to issue an additional 11,325,085 Shares. (The exact number of additional Shares to be issued under the Additional 10% Issue will be calculated in accordance with the formula contained in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and set out above). Any issue of 10% Securities will have a dilutive effect on existing Shareholders.
There is a specific risk that:
-
the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the date of the Issue than it is on the date of the AGM; and
-
the 10% Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Shares on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the 10% Securities.
As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.2, Table 2 below shows the economic and voting dilution effect, in circumstances where the issued capital has doubled and the Market Price of the Shares has halved. Table 2 also shows additional scenarios in which the number of issued capital has increased (by both 50% and 100%) and the Market Price of the Shares has:
- decreased by 50%; and
- increased by 100%.

Assumptions and explanations
- The Market Price is 6.5 cents based on the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 18 October 2012.
- The above table only shows the dillutionary effect based on the Additional 10% Issue and not the 15% under Listing Rule 7.1
- The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
- The Company issues the maximum number of 10% Securities available to it under the Additional 10% Issue.
- The Issued Capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at 18 October 2012
- The issue price of the 10% Securities used in the table does not take into account the discount to the Market Price (if any).
c) Final date for issue – Listing Rule 7.3A.3
As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.3, the Company will only issue and allot the 10% Securities during the 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting which the Company anticipates will be 26 November 2013. The approval under Resolution 6 for the issue of the 10% 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 of the Company) or Listing Rule 11.2 (the disposal of the main undertaking of the Company) before the anniversary of the Annual General Meeting.
d) Purpose – Listing Rule 7.3A.4
As noted above, the purpose for which the 10% Securities may be issued include to raise funds for the Company and as non‐cash consideration (further details of which are set out below). Funds raised from the issue of 10% Securities are intended to be used as follows:
- working capital;
- further drilling and evaluation of the Owendale Platinum and Scandium Project;
- further evaluation of the Skaergaard Project in Greenland; and
- acquisition and identification of new exploration and development projects.
e) Shares Issued for Non‐cash consideration – Listing Rule 7.3A.4
The Company may issue 10% Securities for non‐cash consideration, such as the acquisition of new assets or investments. If the Company issues Shares for non‐cash consideration, the Company will release to the market a valuation of the non‐cash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the Shares complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
f) Company's Allocation Policy – Listing Rule 7.3A.5
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue of 10% Securities pursuant to the Additional 10% Issue. The identity of the allottees of Shares will be determined on a case‐by‐case basis having regard to the factor including but not limited to the following:
-
- the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;
-
- the effect of the issue of the 10% Securities on the control of the Company;
-
- the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
- advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees of the 10% Securities under the Additional 10% Issue 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.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the Additional 10% Issue will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.
g) Company not previously obtained shareholder approval under listing rule 7.1A
Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and the Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
h) Voting Exclusion Statement
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. At the date of the Notice, the proposed allottees of any 10% Securities are not as yet known or identified. In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person's vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of the 10% Securities), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted and there is no reason to exclude their votes.
