EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement forms part of the Notice of Meeting and has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the Meeting.
RESOLUTION 1 – Ratification of Placement Shares
The Company issued a total of 9,100,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.35 per share to various sophisticated investors during November and December 2018. 2,500,000 shares were issue on 15 November 2018, 3,300,000 shares were issued on 30 November 2018 and a further 3,300,000 shares were issued on 4 December 2018. None of the sophisticated investors are related parties of the Company.
Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previously issued securities made without prior Shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares.
The purpose of seeking Shareholder ratification of the Placement Shares is to reinstate the 15% limit under the Listing Rules on the number of securities that the Company may issue in any 12 month period without Shareholder approval.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders
- (a) The total number of fully paid ordinary shares issued was 9,100,000.
- (b) The issue price of each fully paid ordinary shares issued was $0.35.
- (c) The issued shares rank equally with all existing shares.
- (d) The allottees of the Placement Shares were sophisticated investors determined by the Board.
- (e) Funds raised through the Placement Shares will provide a 3 year secured loan to AICIC in accordance with the Company's announcement headed Acquisition and Capital Raising dated 13 November 2018.
- (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.
Recommendation
The Board believe that the ratification of the Placement Shares is beneficial to the Company as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue the maximum number of equity securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 to raise additional capital without first obtaining Shareholder approval.
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR Resolution 1.
RESOLUTION 2 – Approval of Proposed Placement Shares
The Company is proposing to issue a maximum of 1,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to Minoan Corporation Limited. The placement of the Proposed Placement Shares is subject to shareholder approval. Minoan Corporation Limited is an independent investment company based in Wellington, New Zealand and associated with Mr. Clarence Nicholl. Minoan Corporation Limited is not a related party of the Company.
Under Listing Rule 7.1 a listed entity must not issue equity securities that total more than 15% of its fully paid ordinary shares in a 12 month period without the approval of shareholders.
Before issuing the Proposed Placement Shares to Minoan Corporation Limited the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
Issues of equity securities made with the prior approval of the Shareholders in a general meeting are also not subject to the 15% limit. Accordingly, if Shareholders of the Company pass this resolution 2, the Proposed Placement Shares will not be counted towards the 15% limit in respect of equity securities in the upcoming 12 month period.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided to Shareholders:
- (a) The maximum number of securities to be issued is 1,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares.
- (b) The issue of the Proposed Placement Shares will occur no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting.
- (c) The issue price of the Proposed Placement Shares will be a fixed price of $0.35 per share.
- (d) The allottee of the Proposed Placement Shares is Minoan Corporation Limited.
- (e) The Proposed Placement Shares will, from the date of issue, rank equally with all other shares on issue.
- (f) Funds raised through the Proposed Placement Shares will provide funding towards the acquisition of AICIC, which is addressed in Resolution 3,
- (g) Provide Shareholders approve this resolution 2, the Proposed Placement Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after this resolution is passed. The Company does not intend to issue the Proposed Placement Shares progressively.
- (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.
Recommendation
The Board believes the capital raising through the Proposed Placement Shares is in the best interests of the Company and provides the Company with greater resources to achieve its objectives. If Shareholder approval is not obtained, the Proposed Placement Shares will not be issued and the placement will not proceed.
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR Resolution 2.
RESOLUTION 3 – Acquisition of AICIC
As previously announced to the market, the Company has entered into a Share Sale Agreement to acquire AIC Investment Corporation Pty Ltd ACN 618 938 560 (AICIC). AICIC owns 50% of BNNT Technology Limited, a joint venture company which holds an exclusive 20 year licence in respect of technology developed by Deakin University to manufacture Boron Nitride Nanotubes ("BNNT) on a commercial basis. AICIC is not a related party of the Company.
BNNTs are new advanced nanomaterials that have superior mechanical properties, excellent thermal conductivity, optical and infrared transparency, thermal and chemical stability, neutron shielding capability, electrical insulation properties and extreme flexibility. BNNTs are light weight and are considered to be stronger than high-strength steel and industrial-grade carbon fibre.
BNNT Technology Limited is currently establishing its first full scale production plant at Deakin University's ManuFutures, a purpose-built advanced manufacturing innovation hub in their Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus. BNNT Technology Limited was recently awarded a Federal Government Manufacturing Grant of $1,400,000 for the new BNNT plant.
The Company sees this investment as an opportunity to secure a leading position in developing and providing a broad range of advanced products in the mining industry as well as other industries. When used in the manufacture of new composite materials, potential applications include the next-generation of fighter jets, spacecraft, bullet-proof vests, transparent armour, heat sink for electronics, lighter-weight vehicles, safer lithium-ion batteries and sporting goods.
Like any new technology there may be risks in relation to BNNT Technology Limited's ability to produce BNNT in commercial quantities and follow on risks associated with the commercial application of BNNT including the use of BNNT in the products and potential applications referred to above.
Share Sale Agreement
Under the terms of the Share Sale Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% of the issued capital of AICIC consisting of 2,200,000 fully paid ordinary shares. Consideration for the acquisition will be:
(1) The issue of the Consideration Shares calculated in accordance with the formula below:
CS = $6,650,000 divided by the Price Per Share
Where:
- CS means the number of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company issued to the Vendor; and
Price Per Share means the VWAP of the Company's Shares calculated over the 5 trading days ending on the day that is 1 business day immediately prior to the Completion Date.
Provided that the number of Consideration Shares will be capped at the greater of 10,000,000 or 15% of the issued capital of the Company as at the Completion Date.
(2) The payment of the Earn Out Consideration, if any, which will be paid in respect of the 2 financial years commencing subsequent to Completion (Earn Out Period) if the Company delivers an EBIT of greater than $10,000,000 for the Earn Out Period. If applicable, the Earn Out Consideration payable to the Vendor is calculated as 50% of the amount exceeding $10,000,000 in EBIT in the Earn Out Period and capped at $10,000,000. The Vendor may elect to receive any Earn Out Consideration as cash or the equivalent value of Shares issued at the VWAP of the Company's Shares calculated over the 5 trading days ending on the day that is 1 business day immediately prior to the date of issue. Any issue of Shares as Earn Out Consideration must not result in the Vendor or its Associates having voting power in the Company of greater than 19.9% and is subject to any shareholder approval or other approvals that may be required or desirable.
The Consideration Shares will be issued on the same terms, and with the same rights attached, as other fully paid ordinary shares issued in the Company as at Completion.
Dilution effect
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the issue of the Consideration Shares and the subsequent issue of the Proposed Placement Shares, using different variables for the Price Per Share. At the date of this Notice, the Company had 71,096,498 shares on issue.
The table shows:
- (a) the dilution effect on the current issued capital after the issue of the Consideration Shares and the dilution effect after the issue of the Proposed Placement Shares (1,000,000 Shares) to Minoan Corporation Limited as contemplated under Resolution 2;
- (b) examples of where the Price Per Share would be equal to the current market price as at close of trade on 7 February 2019, being $0.52 (current market price), where the Price Per Share is halved and where it is doubled; and
- (c) that the dilutionary effect is dependent on whether the cap on the number of Consideration Shares (the greater of 10,000,000 or 15%) applies.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
