3. Resolution 1 – Approval of Share Issue – Consideration Shares
3.1 General – Acquisition of QPM
Further to the Company's announcements of 15 October 2018 and 25 February 2019, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 33,300,000 Shares to the Vendors of the issued capital of Queensland Pacific Metals Pty Ltd (ACN 622 782 567) (QPM) pursuant to a conditional exclusive binding term sheet executed by the Company on 12 October 2018 (and varied and restated on 24 February 2019) (Term Sheet).
The Term Sheet gives the Company the option to acquire up to 100% of the issued capital of QPM from the shareholders of QPM (Vendors) in consideration for a specific number of consideration shares and cash (Acquisition).
QPM is an emerging battery metals company focussed on the production of nickel sulphate and cobalt sulphate for the global battery industry.
QPM is a private Australian company seeking to develop a modern processing plant in Townsville, Queensland.
QPM has secured a binding ore supply agreement to purchase nickel-cobalt ore from two established, producing New Caledonian mining companies. QPM also holds the nickelcobalt tenements comprising the Eden Garry exploration project, in the Marlborough region of Queensland.
Further details of QPM and its projects are set out in the Company's announcement of 15 October 2018.
The Company announced it had exercised the option to acquire QPM on 24 February 2019.
The consideration payable to the Vendors for the Acquisition is comprised of:
- (a) 33,300,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to be issued to the Vendors at Settlement of the Acquisition (Consideration Shares);
- (b) $500,000 cash to be paid at Settlement to the Vendors; and
- (c) 366,620,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to be issued to the Vendors on a deferred basis after Settlement subject to the satisfaction of the specific performance milestones (Deferred Consideration Shares) (see the Explanatory Memorandum with respect to Resolution 2 for more information in this regard),
together, the Consideration.
The Consideration Shares and the Deferred Consideration Shares will be issued to the Vendors on a pro-rata basis in proportion to their shareholding in QPM as set out in Schedule 2.
3.2 Listing Rule 10.11 and section 208 of the Corporations Act
Other than John Charles Downie, none of the parties to whom Consideration Shares or Deferred Consideration Shares are to be issued to related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company.
Mr Downie will, (in accordance with the Term Sheet) be appointed a director of the Company at settlement of the Acquisition and will therefore become a related party of the Company. However, Mr Downie will only be a related party of the Company by reason of the terms of the Acquisition and the issue of the Consideration Shares and Deferred Consideration Shares and the application of section 228(6) of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, as a result of Listing Rule 10.12 exception 6, the Company is not required to obtain approval pursuant to Listing 10.11 for the issue of the Consideration Shares to Mr Downie.
Section 228(6) of the Corporations Act states that a person is a related party of a company if the company believes, or has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is likely to become a related party.
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 Consideration Shares and Deferred Consideration Shares to Mr Downie constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Downie is a related party of the Company as described above.
The current Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Consideration Shares and Deferred Consideration Shares to Mr Downie as those Shares will be issued to Mr Downie on the same terms as Shares issued to the other Vendors based on their respective proportion of shareholding in QPM and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms (section 210 Corporations Act).
3.3 Listing Rule 7.1

- (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 Options to the Directors under Resolution 5 constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Directors are each a related party of the Company as described above.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Options as a result of the Options being reasonable remuneration having regard to the Directors' current remuneration packages.

Schedule 3 – Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
A summary of the rights attaching to the Shares is detailed below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements.
(a) Voting Rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions, at general meetings:
- (i) every Shareholder present and entitled to vote may vote in person or by attorney, proxy or representative;
- (ii) has one vote on a show of hands; and
- (iii) has one vote for every Share held, upon a poll.
(b) Dividend Rights
Shareholders will be entitled to dividends, distributed among members in proportion to the capital paid up, from the date of payment. No dividend carries interest against the Company and the declaration of Directors as to the amount to be distributed is conclusive.
Shareholders may be paid interim dividends or bonuses at the discretion of the Directors. The Company must not pay a dividend unless the Company's assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend.
(c) Variation of Rights
The rights attaching to the Shares may only be varied by the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the Shares, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting.
(d) Transfer of Shares
Shares can be transferred upon delivery of a proper instrument of transfer to the Company or by a transfer in accordance with the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. The instrument of transfer must be in writing, in the approved form, and signed by the transferor and the transferee. Until the transferee has been registered, the transferor is deemed to remain the holder, even after signing the instrument of transfer.
In some circumstances, the Directors may refuse to register a transfer if upon registration the transferee will hold less than a marketable parcel. The Board may refuse to register a transfer of Shares upon which the Company has a lien.
(e) General Meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
The Directors may convene a general meeting at their discretion. General meetings shall also be convened on requisition as provided for by the Corporations Act.
(f) Rights on Winding up
if the Company is wound up, the liquidator may with the sanction of special resolution, divide the assets of the Company amongst members as the liquidator sees fit. If the assets are insufficient to repay the whole of the paid up capital of members, they will be distributed in such a way that the losses borne by members are in proportion to the capital paid up.
Schedule 3 – Rights and liabilities attaching to Options
A summary of the rights attaching to the Options is detailed below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.

- (i) the Exercise Date; and
- (ii) when excluded information in respect to the Company (as defined in section 708A(7) of the Corporations Act) (if any) ceases to be excluded information,
but in any case no later than 20 Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:
- (iii) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company;
- (iv) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all
such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and
(v) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.
If a notice delivered under (g)(iv) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.
(h) Shares issued on exercise
Shares issued on exercise of the Options rank equally with the then issued shares of the Company.
(i) Quotation of Shares issued on exercise
If admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, application will be made by the Company to ASX for quotation of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options.
(j) Reconstruction of capital
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.
(k) Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options without exercising the Options.
(l) Adjustment for rights issue
In the event the Company proceeds with a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) of securities to Shareholders after the date of issue of the Options, the Exercise Price will be reduced in accordance with the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.
(m) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):
- (i) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Optionholder would have received if the Optionholder had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and
- (ii) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.
(n) Unquoted
The Company will not apply for quotation of the Options on ASX.
