This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at the Sun offices, Level 2, 30 Richardson street, West Perth, Western Australia on Thursday 30 January 2020 commencing at 10am AWST.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to decide how to vote upon the resolutions.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement before determining whether to support the resolutions or otherwise.

Section 2

  • Information pertaining to Resolution 1 and Resolution 4 – Issue of Securities to Corporate Advisor GTT Ventures (Deemed to be an Associate of Mr Patrick Glovac, Company Director)

2.1 General

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for GTT’s participation in a unsecured Convertible Note Loan, and to approve the issue of Shares to GTT if it’s rights are exercised in accordance with its participation in the unsecured Convertible Note Loan to the Company in the amount of $125,000 as announced by the Company on 31 December 2019. The conversion of the Convertible Note is at the option of GTT, however if the Company were to repay the loan in cash, the securities may not be issued.

Convertible Note The Company proposes to raise $250,000 by way of an unsecured Convertible Note. The note will be repayable on 31 March 2020 if not exercised prior and price of the Conversion will be the lower of 20% discount to VWAP of the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of issue or at a 20% discount to the share price achieved for an equitybased capital raising conducted during the term of the note. The coupon rate is 10%pa payable at maturity. The Company intends to issue up 12.5m unlisted Options with an exercise price of $0.004 and expiry 31 Dec 2020, on a basis of 1 option for every $0.02 loaned via the Convertible Note.

GTT subscribed for 50% of the Convertible Note subject to shareholder approval, the remaining 50% was subscribed for by Fastlane Australia Pty Ltd (25%) and Bellarine Gold Pty Ltd (25%), the Company’s two largest shareholders. (See Resolution 2 and 3).

Information regarding the Company’s relationship with GTT.

GTT is engaged as the Company’s Corporate Advisor and has provided corporate advisory and capital raising services for the Company.

Mr Patrick Glovac is a Non-Executive Director of Prominence Energy NL, and is also a Director and Shareholder of GTT. Whilst GTT is not an entity controlled by Mr Glovac, and therefore not a related party under section 208 of the Corporations Act, GTT may be considered an Associate of Mr Glovac under listing Rule 10.11.

GTT Securities

  • Ordinary Shares if the loan is converted. (Resolution 1)

  • Options on the basis of 1 option for every $0.02 loaned to the Company (Resolution 4)

The Convertible Note Securities will be issued at the lower 20% discount to VWAP of the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of issue or at a 20% discount to the share price achieved for an equity-based capital raising conducted during the term of the note, so the exact number is variable according to the pricing. Based on the Company raising funds at 0.1c, and conversion of A$125,000 (excluding interest), the Company would issue 156.25 million Shares to GTT being 80% of 0.1c.

Table 1 - Number of Ordinary Shares that would be issued to GTT under different Share price scenarios

Consideration. A$125,000 loaned to the Company on an unsecured basis. The maturity date of the loan is 31 March 2020. The coupon rate is 10%pa payable at maturity. Interest is calculated monthly and paid out on maturity. At 10% per annum the interest generated is approximately $1,050 per month (increasing with compounding), the interest would be potentially $2,092 for 3 months, this may be converted into Shares at the election of GTT or repaid in cash, the potential quantum of Shares is shown in Table 1.

2.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Under section 208 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 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 GTT Securities will result in the issue of Securities to an Associate of one of the Company’s Directors Mr Patrick Glovac. Whilst not deemed a related party under Section 208, this constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to an Associated Party as GTT is an associate of Mr Glovac under listing Rule 10.11.

The Directors, consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the GTT Securities because the securities to be issued to GTT will be issued on the same terms as securities that would be issued to non-related parties. Accordingly, the Directors consider that the issue of the Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees) is on arm’s length terms in accordance with section 210 of the Corporations Act.

2.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the Company is proposing to issue Securities to GTT Ventures who are deemed an Associated party of one of the Directors, 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 Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply to the issue of the GTT Securities.

4.4 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the GTT Securities:

  • (a) The Shares and Options will be issued to:

  • GTT Global Opportunities Pty Ltd (GTT) – category 10.11.4 – an associate of a person referred to in rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3.

  • (b) The maximum number of Shares to be issued to GTT if GTT exercises its rights under the Convertible Note, is variable and according to a formula (Resolution 1).

  • The Convertible Note Securities will be issued at the lower of 20% discount to VWAP of the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of issue or at a 20% discount to the share price achieved for an equity-based capital raising conducted during the term of the note, so the exact number is variable according to the pricing. For example, based on the Company raising funds at 0.1c, and GTT converting A$125,000, the Company would issue 156.25 million Shares to GTT being 80% of 0.1c. (See Table 1 for further scenarios)

  • (c) The Convertible Note Certificate 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 Listing Rules).

  • (d) The maturity date of the Convertible Note is 31 March 2020. The Loan will either be repaid or converted to securities by that date.

  • (e) The Company will be loaned $125,000 by GTT. These funds will be used for working capital and to advance the farmout of the Company’s Bowsprit project.

7

ABN 69 009 196 810 (Incorporated in Western Australia)

==> picture [88 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

  • (f) The Shares issued to GTT if the loan is converted, will be fully paid ordinary shares in the equity capital of the Company, issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. Further details on the terms of the Options are provided in Schedule A of this explanatory memorandum.

  • (g) The Company will apply to the ASX for official quotation of the Shares.

  • (h) GTT is deemed an Associate of Mr Glovac. This issue is not related to the renumeration of Mr Glovac neither as renumeration or incentivisation.

Voting Exclusion: The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 1 or Resolution 4 by or on behalf of GTT Ventures or Mr Patrick Glovac or an associate of Mr Glovac or GTT Ventures. However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by a person as a proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way, or the chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met: (i) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting on the resolution and (ii) the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the GTT Securities as Shareholder approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Shares to GTT will not use up the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Section 3

Information pertaining to Resolutions 2 and 3 - Pre-Approval of Issue of Securities associated with a Convertible Note.

General

That, for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to potentially issue securities to Fastlane Australia Pty Ltd (Fastlane) and Bellarine Gold Pty Ltd (Bellarine) under a Convertible Note structure as announced by the Company on 31 December 2019. The conversion of the Convertible Note is at the option of the Note holders, however if the Company were to repay the loan in cash, the securities may not be issued.

Convertible Note The Company proposes to raise $250,000 by way of an unsecured Convertible Note. The note will be repayable on 31 March 2020 if not exercised prior and price of the Conversion will be the lower of 20% discount to VWAP of the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of issue or at a 20% discount to the share price achieved for an equitybased capital raising conducted during the term of the note. The coupon rate is 10%pa payable at maturity. The Company intends to issue up 12.5m unlisted Options with an exercise price of $0.004 and expiry 31 Dec 2020, on a basis of 1 option for every $0.02 loaned via the Convertible Note.

GTT subscribed for 50% and their participation is subject to Shareholder approval (Resolution 1). The balance was subscribed for by Fastlane and Bellarine Gold, (25% each respectively). The Company is seeking approval to issue these securities to Fastlane and Bellarine pursuant to ASX listing rule 7.4.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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 that it had on issue at the start of that period. Listing Rule 7.1A, if an appropriate resolution is passed at the Company’s AGM, extends this by a further 10%.

The Company’s current placement capacity is: 197,933,638 Under rule 7.1, and 131,955,758 Under rule 7.1A:[1] accordingly the Company has the capacity to issue the Shares to Fastlane and Bellarine associated with the Convertible Note, however, as the Directors wish to preserve the flexibility to raise capital under 7.1 and 7.1A, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to issue the shares in accordance with listing Rule 7.4 and thus preserve the full 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) placement capacity.

==> picture [88 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

To this end Resolutions 2 and 3 seek shareholder approval to the issue of the related securities for the purpose of listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolutions 2 or 3 are passed the related issues can proceed without using up any of Prominence Energy NL’s 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval as set out in listing rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 2 or 3 are not passed, the Issue can still proceed to Fastlane and Bellarine but it will reduce to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity Securities without shareholder approval under listing rule 7.1 and (potentially) 7.1A for 12 months following the issue.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 741 the following information is provided:

  • The number of securities to be issued: ▪ The maximum number of Shares to be issued to Fastlane and Bellarine is variable and according to a formula and the interest accrued.

  • The Convertible Note Securities will be issued at the lower of 20% discount to 5 day VWAP or 20% discount to the next PRM placement price, so the exact number is variable according to the pricing. For example, based on the Company raising funds at 0.1c The Company would issue a total of 156.25 million Shares (78,125,000 each) to Fastlane and Bellarine being 80% of 0.1c.

  • The interest would be potentially up to $2,092 for 3 months, this may be converted into Shares, the potential quantum of Shares is shown in Table 2.

  • The Quantum of issue would be such that the agreement to issue the securities would not be expected to exceed the Company’s Placement capacity under 7.1 and 7.1A (197,933,638 Under rule 7.1, and 131,955,758 Under rule 7.1A)

  • The Securities will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting on or before the maturity date of 31 March 2020. (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

  • Terms of the securities: The Shares issued will rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

Voting Exclusion: The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 2 or 3 by Fastlane or Bellarine Gold or their Associates respectively.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolutions 2 and 3, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention.
