EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1
1.1 Background
On 18 March 2024, the Company announced the completion of the acquisition of the Newnham Lake Uranium Project, located in Canada's Athabasca Basin (Acquisition).
The Newnham Lake Uranium Project covers an area of 15.84km2 and is proximal to the northeast margin of the Athabasca Basin. Newnham Lake lies 56km to the north-west of IsoEnergy's Hurricane Zone, which has an Indicated Resource of 48.6Mlbs of U₃O₈ based on 63,800 tonnes grading 34.5% U₃O₈ including 43.9 Mlbs of U3O8 at an average grade of 52.1% U3O8 within the high-grade domain3.
A summary of the material terms of the binding terms sheet entered into by the Company and the Vendors on 28 February 2024 in respect of the Acquisition (Binding Terms Sheet) is set out in Schedule 1.
Further information regarding the Acquisition is set out in the Company's ASX announcements dated 4 March 2024 and 18 March 2024.
1.2 General
On 18 March 2024, the Company issued 3,774,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.06 per Share to satisfy the equity component of the consideration payable for the Acquisition (Consideration Shares).
The issue of the Consideration Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 28 November 2023.
The issue of the Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not
reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consideration Shares.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consideration Shares.
1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Consideration Shares will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.
1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
- (a) the Consideration Shares were issued to DGRM, which is not a related party of the Company;
- (b) 3,774,000 Consideration Shares were issued and the Consideration Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
- (c) the Consideration Shares were issued on 18 March 2024;
- (d) the deemed issue price was $0.06 per Consideration Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Consideration Shares;
- (e) the purpose of the issue of the Consideration Shares was to satisfy the Company's obligations under the Binding Terms Sheet; and
- (f) the Consideration Shares were issued to DGRM under the Binding Terms Sheet. A summary of the material terms of the Binding Terms Sheet is set out in Schedule 1.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 General
On 4 March 2024, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement to sophisticated and professional investors to raise A$1.44 million via the issue of Shares at an issue price of $0.06 per Share (Placement Shares) (Placement). Completion of the Placement occurred on 18 March 2024.
12,928,796 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 2) and 11,135,197 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 28 November 2023.
Funds raised from the Placement have been applied toward payment of the cash component of the Consideration for the Acquisition and the balance will be applied toward the Company's initial exploration activities at the Newnham Lake Uranium Project.
The issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
As summarised in Section 1.2 above, 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 it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 28 November 2023.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.
Resolutions 2 and 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolutions 2 and 3 are not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 2 and 3:
- (a) the Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who were identified by the Directors. The recipients were identified through a book build process undertaken by the Company and its advisers;
- (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:
- (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company's Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
- (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
- (c) 24,063,993 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:
- (i) 12,928,796 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2); and
- (ii) 11,135,197 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 3);
- (d) the Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
- (e) the Placement Shares were issued on 18 March 2024;
- (f) the issue price was $0.06 per Placement Share under both issues of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;
- (g) the purpose of the Placement was to raise $1.44 million, which has been applied to fund the cash component of the Consideration for the
Acquisition and the balance toward the Company's initial exploration programmes at the Newnham Lake Uranium Project; and
(h) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.
3. RESOLUTIONS 4, 5 & 6 – APPROVAL FOR DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN PLACEMENT
3.1 General
The Directors wish to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Placement (Director Participation), for an aggregate of up to 833,334 Placement Shares at an issue price of A$0.06 per Share (Director Participation Shares) as follows:
- (a) Ms Felicity Repacholi proposes to subscribe for up to 500,000 Director Participation Shares (the subject of Resolution 5);
- (b) Mr Simon Andrew proposes to subscribe for up to 166,667 Director Participation Shares (the subject of Resolution 6); and
- (c) Ms Amanda Burgess proposes to subscribe for up to 166,667 Director Participation Shares (the subject of Resolution 7).
Ms Repacholi, Mr Andrew and Ms Burgess, and are herein referred to as the Related Parties.
Should Resolutions 4 to 6 be passed, and the Directors subscribe for the maximum number of Director Participation Shares for which approval is sought, the Company will receive an aggregate of $50,000 from the Director Participation which will be applied towards the activities set out in Section 2.5(g).
3.2 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:
- (d) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
- (e) 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 Director Participation Shares to the Related Parties (or their nominee(s)) constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of each being a director of the Company.
As the Director Participation Shares are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Director Participation Shares. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Director Participation Shares is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
1.2 Director recommendation
Each of the Related Parties has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 6 on the basis that each Director (or their respective nominees) would be permitted to participate in the Placement should Resolutions 4 to 6 be passed. For this reason, the Related Parties do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 4 to 6 of this Notice.
1.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
- 10.11.1 a related party;
- 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
- 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
- 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
- 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Director Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 4 to 6 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Participation Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If each of Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Participation Shares within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Participation Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Participation Shares will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
If any of Resolutions 4 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Participation Shares and the $50,000 that would be raised via the Director Participation under the Placement will not be raised.
Resolutions 4 to 6 seek approval for individual issues and are not dependent on one another.
1.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to, and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 4 to 6:
- (a) the Director Participation Shares will be issued to the Related Parties (or their nominee(s)) as follows:
- (i) up to 500,000 Shares, valued at $30,000, to Felicity Repacholi (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 4; and
- (ii) up to 166,667 Shares, valued at $10,000, to Simon Andrew (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5
- (iii) up to 166,667 Shares, valued at $10,000, to Amanda Burgess (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 6,

- (f) the issue price of the Director Participation Shares is the same issue price as all other Shares issued to other participants in the Placement. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Director Participation Shares;
