EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
1.1 General
On 11 January 2013, the Company issued 108,000,000 Shares to sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.002 per Share to raise $216,000.
The Company provided notice pursuant to section 708(5)(e) of the Corporations Act that the Shares were issued without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of the Shares was conducted under the Company’s existing placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 for the issue of 64,458,710 Shares.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1A and 7.4 for the issue of 43,541,290 Shares.
ASX 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.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A gives a company the ability to issue equity securities under a 10% placement facility provided the company has obtained shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting. Shareholder approval of the 10% placement facility 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 date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which approval is obtained.
The Shareholders previously approved a 10% placement facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the last annual general meeting of the Company which was held on 30 November 2012.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A (and provided that the previous issues did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A as relevant.
By ratifying the issue of Shares in Resolutions 1 and 2, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% annual capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.

-
(h) the Company does not intend to list the Convertible Notes for quotation on ASX and it is not obliged to do so; and

2.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Note Issue:
-

-
(ii) identifying investment opportunities for the Company; and

2.4 Risk of voting dilution
The conversion of Convertible Notes into Shares will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the Convertible Notes, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
3132-03/980166_3
8
| Number of Shares currently on issue |
Draw down amount | Dilution |
|---|---|---|
| 543,412,896* | $100,000 | 100,000,000 Shares |
| Dilution (%) | 18.4% | |
| Interest for term of Convertible Notes and maximum aggregate Shares on conversion of interest |
(4% of $100,000)/ (price per Share of $0.001) = 4,000,000 Shares |
|
| Dilution (%) | 0.7% | |
| Maximum aggregate number of Shares on conversion of interest |
104,000,000 Shares | |
| Dilution (%) | 19.1% | |
| $600,000 (maximum draw down amount) |
600,000,000 Shares | |
| Dilution (%) | 110.4% | |
| Interest for term of Convertible Notes and maximum aggregate Shares on conversion of interest** |
(4% of $600,000)/ (price per Share of $0.001) = 24,000,000 Shares |
|
| Dilution (%) | 4.4% | |
| Maximum aggregate number of Shares on conversion of interest |
624,000,000 Shares | |
| Dilution (%) | 114.8% |
*The number of Shares on issue could increase if Options currently on issue are exercised or as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
** Assumes entire facility drawn down at the commencement of the 12 month term.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 543,412,896 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations do not take into account the further dilutionary effect on Shareholders if Options issued upon the Conversion of the Convertible Notes are subsequently exercised and converted into Shares.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
3132-03/980166_3

-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of conversion of Convertible Notes into Shares, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
3. RESOLUTION 4 – PLACEMENT – SHARES AND OPTIONS TO RM CORPORATE FINANCE
3.1 General
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 20,000,000 Shares and 20,000,000 Options to RM Corporate Finance (or its nominee) in consideration for services provided under a lead manager mandate between RM Corporate Finance and the Company dated 2 July 2013 ( Mandate ) (RMCF Placement ).
3.2 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 RMCF Placement will result in the issue of Shares and Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit. Guy Le Page is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Guy Le Page has a controlling interest in RM Corporate Finance.
The Directors (other than Guy Le Page who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the RMCF Placement because the Shares and Options will be issued to RM Corporate Finance on reasonable commercial terms in the general market for services of the nature and type being provided under the Mandate and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
3.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also 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.
As the RMCF Placement involves the issue of Shares and Options to a related party 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.
3132-03/980166_3
10
3.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the RMCF Placement:
-
(a) the Shares will be issued to RM Corporate Finance (or its nominee);
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 20,000,000 and the maximum number of Options to be issued is 20,000,000;
-
(c) the Shares and Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares and Options will occur on the same date;
-
(d) the Shares and Options will be issued for nil cash consideration in satisfaction of services provided by RM Corporate Finance in accordance with the Mandate;
-
(e) the 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; and
-
(f) the Company will make an application for Official Quotation by ASX of all Shares issued;
-
(g) the Options will be issued on the terms set out in Schedule 1 of this Explanatory Statement;
-
(h) the Company will not apply for the Official Quotation of the Options on ASX; and
-
(i) no funds will be raised from the RMCF Placement as the Shares and Options are being issued in consideration for in accordance with the Mandate.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the RMCF Placement as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares and Options to RM Corporate Finance (or its nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ‘APPOINTMENT OF PROXY’ FORM
1.
( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
-
( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
( Signing instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
-
( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
-
( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
-
( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
-
( Attending the Meeting ): 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.
-
( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
-
(a) post to Soil Sub Technologies Limited, Level 2, 6 Kings Park Road, West Perth WA 6872; or
-
(b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9321 8399,
so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.
Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.
