CERVANTES CORPORATION LTD ABN 79 097 982 235 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to assist shareholders with their consideration of the resolutions proposed for the Annual General Meeting of Cervantes Corporation Ltd (Company) to be held at the Royal Perth Golf Club, South Perth, WA at 9:00am on Monday 29 November 2010.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors' report, the remuneration report and the auditor's report.

RESOLUTION 1 – Re-election of Mr Barry MacKinnon

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that if the Company has three or more Directors, one third (or the number nearest one third) of these Directors must retire at each annual general meeting, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Company currently has 3 Directors and accordingly 1 must retire.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

Mr Barry MacKinnon retires by rotation and being eligible seeks re-election.

RESOLUTION 2 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The remuneration report sets out the Company's remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2010.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

RESOLUTION 3 – Resignation and Appointment of Auditor

The Board has considered and agreed to this change and the Board has agreed to this resolution being presented to the shareholders of the Company. By agreement with the Company, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd (Grant Thornton), who are the Company's current auditors, have given notice of their intention to resign as auditor of the Company (under section 329(5) of the Corporations Act) subject to receipt of the consent from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and Shareholder approval of this resolution 3 for the appointment of Rothsay Chartered Accountants as auditor.

Subject to ASIC consenting to the resignation of Grant Thornton, and Grant Thornton submitting a resignation to the Company, it is proposed that the Company appoint Rothsay Chartered Accountants as auditor of the Company.

In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company has sought and obtained a nomination from a shareholder for Rothsay Chartered Accountants to be appointed as the Company auditor. A copy of this nomination is attached to this Explanatory Statement as Annexure A.

Rothsay Chartered Accountants has given its written consent to act as the Company's auditor subject to Shareholder approval of this resolution 3.

If resolution 3 is passed, the appointment of Rothsay Chartered Accountants as the Company's auditor will take effect at the close of this Annual General Meeting.

RESOLUTION 4 – Issue of Director Options – Collin Vost

GENERAL

Under Resolution 4 shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of Options to a related party of the Company.

The purpose of the issue of Options to Mr Collin Vost (Director Options) is to provide an incentive to the Director to provide dedicated and ongoing commitment and effort to the Company. The issue of Director Options as a part of the remuneration package of the Directors is an established practice of junior public listed companies and has the benefit of conserving cash whilst properly rewarding the Directors. Based on this the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies.

The Board has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 5,000,000 Director Options to Mr Collin Vost (Related Party).

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.

In addition, 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.

The grant of the Director Options to the Related Party requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of the Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and as a Director, Collin Vost is a related party of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options to the Related Party.

SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL (CHAPTER 2E OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT AND LISTING RULE 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Options:

  • (a) the Related Party is Mr Collin Vost and he is a related party by virtue of being Director;
  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be issued to the Related Party is 5,000,000 Director Options;
  • (c) the Director Options will be issued to the Related Party no later than 1 month after the date of the Annual General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date;
  • (d) the Director Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;
  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 1;
  • (f) the value of the Director Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 2;
  • (g) the current relevant interests of the Related Party in securities of the Company are set out below;
Related Party Shares Options
Mr Collin Vost 30,620,000 -

(h) the remuneration, emoluments and contract payments from the Company to the Related Party for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 are set out below:

Collin Vost
Directors Fees $24,000
Services Office and Brokerage Services $37,366
Total $61,366

(i) if the Director Options issued to the Related Party are exercised, a total of 5,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 289,271,112 to 294,271,112 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:

Issued Shares as Director IssuedShares Dilutionary

TOTAL 289,271,112 5,000,000 294,271,112 1.70%

The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting is set out below:

Price Date
Highest 4.0 cents 5 and 8 -10 February 2010
Lowest 1.4 cents 10,13-17and20September2010
Last 1.5 cents 27 October 2010
  • (k) the primary purpose of the grant of Director Options to Collin Vost is to provide cost effective recognition for his efforts during a difficult year whilst maintaining cash reserves. The Board (other than Collin Vost) considered the extensive experience and reputation of Collin Vost within the industry, the current market price of Shares and current market practices when determining the number of the Director Options to be issued to Collin Vost . In addition, the Board (other than Collin Vost) considers the grant of the Director Options to Collin Vost to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company's cash reserves. The Board (other than Collin Vost) does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options upon the terms proposed;
  • (l) Collin Vost declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. The Board (other than Collin Vost) is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution; and
  • (m) the Board acknowledges the grant of Director Options to Collin Vost is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Director Options to Collin Vost reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company, whilst maintaining the Company's cash reserves.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

RESOLUTION 5 – Bonus Issue of Shares – Collin Vost

GENERAL

The Board has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 5,000,000 Shares (Director Bonus Shares) to Mr Collin Vost (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:

  • (c) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
  • (d) 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.

In addition, 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.

The grant of the Director Bonus Shares to the Related Party requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of the Director Bonus Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and as a Director, Collin Vost is a related party of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Bonus Shares to the Related Party.

SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL (CHAPTER 2E OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT AND LISTING RULE 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Bonus Shares:

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Bonus Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be issued to the Related Party is 5,000,000 Shares;
  • (c) the Director Bonus Shares will be issued to the Related Party no later than 1 month after the date of the Annual General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Bonus Shares will be issued on one date;
  • (d) the Director Bonus Shares will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;
  • (e) the Director Bonus Shares will be issued on the same terms and conditions as all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company;
  • (f) the current relevant interests of the Related Party in securities of the Company are set out below;

  • (i) if Shareholders approve the issue of Shares to Mr Collin Vost, the effect will be to dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders by approximately 1.70% (assuming no other Shares are issued or Options are exercised);
  • (j) the value of the Director Bonus Shares, based on the most recent trading price of Shares on ASX of 1.7 cents is $85,000;
  • (k) the primary purpose of the grant of Director Bonus Shares to Collin Vost is to provide cost effective recognition for his efforts during a difficult year whilst maintaining cash reserves. The Board (other than Collin Vost) considered the extensive experience and reputation of Collin Vost within the industry, the current market price of Shares and current market practices when determining the number of the Director Bonus Shares to be issued to Collin Vost . In addition, the Board (other than Collin Vost) considers the grant of the Director Bonus Shares to Collin Vost to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company's cash reserves. The Board (other than Collin Vost) does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Bonus Shares upon the terms proposed;
  • (l) Collin Vost declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 5, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. The Board (other than Collin Vost) is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution; and
  • (m) the Board acknowledges the grant of Director Bonus Shares to Collin Vost is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. However, the Board considers the grant of Director Bonus Shares to Collin Vost reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company, whilst maintaining the Company's cash reserves.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Bonus Shares to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Bonus Shares to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

RESOLUTION 6 – Placement of Shares

General

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of up to 40,000,000 Shares (Share Placement).

As stated in the Company's previous announcement, the Directors have been presented with a number of new investment opportunities. If deemed appropriate for the Company, some of these investment opportunities may require additional cash resources greater than the Company's current cash resources. If the Directors form a view that one of the opportunities has the potential to create significant value to Shareholders, the Directors would like to have the flexibility to be able to move quickly.

None of the subscribers pursuant to this issue will be related parties of the Company.

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.

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares during the period of 3 months after the Annual General Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by the ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

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 Share Placement:

  • a. The maximum number of Shares to be issued is 40,000,000;
  • b. The Shares will be issued no later than 3 month after the date of the Annual General 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 allotment will occur on the same date;
  • c. The Shares will be issued at a minimum issue price of not less than 80% of the average market price for Shares over the last 5 days in which sales of Shares are recorded before the date of issue or, if there is a prospectus relating to the issue, over the last 5 days in which sales of Shares are recorded before the date of the prospectus;
  • d. The Shares will be issued to subscribers identified by the Directors and none of the subscribers will be related parties;
  • 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 intends to use any funds raised from the Share Placement to pursue any new business investment opportunities identified and for general working capital purposes.

Instructions for Completing 'Appointment of Proxy' Form

    1. A member entitled to attend and vote at an Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on a poll on their behalf. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member's voting rights. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.
    1. Where a member's holding is in one name the holder must sign. Where the holding is in more than one name, all members should sign.
    1. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under a power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this Proxy Form.
    1. Corporate members should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
    • 2 directors of the company;
    • a director and a company secretary of the company; or
    • for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

    1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.
    1. To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
    • (a) post to Cervantes Corporation Limited, PO Box 1196, South Perth WA 6951; or
    • (b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9367 2470,

so that it is received not later than 10:00am (WST) on Saturday 27 November 2010.

Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
