4. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 9 – AUTHORITY TO ISSUE SHARES TO NON E XEC UTIVE DIRECTORS
4.1 General
As outlined in Section 3.1, the Company has agreed, subject to receiving Shareholder approval, to issue a total 577,778 Shares ( Non-Executive Director Shares ) to the Non-executive Directors (or their nominees) in lieu of their cash salaries for the 2019 financial year as follows:
| Non-Executive Director | No of Shares* |
|---|---|
| John Sims | 222,222 |
| Phil Warren | 177,778 |
| Peter Westmacott | 177,778 |
| TOTAL | 577,778 |
*Number of Shares determined using the issue price per Share under the Placement of $0.225 per Share.
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions) issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party without the approval of shareholders. Messrs Sims, Warren and Westmacott are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Approval is therefore required under Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Non-Executive Director Shares to them.
Resolutions 7 to 9 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Non-Executive Director Shares to Messrs Sims, Warren and Westmacott (and/or their nominees). If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholder approval of the issue of the Non-Executive Director Shares means that this issue will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolutions 7 to 9 are ordinary resolutions.
4.2 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 issue of the Non-Executive Director Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Sims, Warren and Westmacott are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
After a review of publicly available information relating to the remuneration structures of several of its peer companies, the Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Non-Executive Director Shares to Mr Warren, Mr Sims and Mr Westmacott because the issue of the NonExecutive Shares is considered reasonable remuneration.
