RED METAL LIMITED (ACN 103 367 684)
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. INTRODUCTION
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of Red Metal Limited (“ Red Metal ” or the “ Company ”) in connection with the business to be conducted at a General Meeting (“Meeting”) to be held on Monday, 27 May 2019 at 11.00am AEDT at Level 15, 323 Castlereagh Street, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia.
This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting.
2. RESOLUTIONS 1, 2 AND 3 - Issue of Options to Directors
Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of options to the following directors:
| Director | Position | Options 1st Tranche |
Options 2nd Tranche |
Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mr R Barwick | Chairman | 250,000 | 250,000 | 500,000 |
| Mr R Rutherford | Managing Director | 500,000 | 500,000 | 1,000,000 |
| Mr J Pitt | Non-executive Director | 250,000 | 250,000 | 500,000 |
| Total | 1,000,000 | 1,000,000 | 2,000,000 |
The Director Options are proposed to be issued in two tranches;
-
the first tranche Director Options vest from the date of issue, are exercisable at a 25% premium (rounded up to the nearest cent) to the five day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the day of issue and will expire on 26 May 2022.
-
the second tranche Director Options vest 12 months after the date of issue, are exercisable at a 25% premium (rounded up to the nearest cent) to the VWAP on the day of issue and will expire on 26 May 2022.
The purpose of the issue of options is to provide Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt an incentive for future services. The issue of options as part of the remuneration packages of directors is an established practice of junior public listed companies and, in the case of the Company, has the benefit of conserving cash whilst properly rewarding each of the Directors. Note that the Directors were previously issued incentive options, after receipt of shareholder approval and that have not either expired or been exercised, in November 2016 (options expire 13 November 2019) and November 2017 (options expire 12 November 2020) – refer Section E below.
It is also noted that shareholders approved the issue of a total of 2,000,000 options (2018 Options) to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt (on similar terms and conditions as those proposed under Resolutions 1, 2 and 3) at the Company’s most recent Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 29 November 2018. ASX Listing Rule 10.13 required that the 2018 Options be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the AGM. Due to various factors including the negotiating of the Greenfields Discovery Alliance agreement with OZ Minerals Limited, the Directors did not consider it appropriate to issue the 2018 Options within the required timeframe, and as a result the authority to issue those options expired and the 2018 Options were not issued.
Whilst the Directors to whom the Director Options are to be issued do not make a recommendation as they each have a personal interest in the proposed issue, they believe that the quantum of Director Options together with the cash fees to which they are entitled are reasonable in the context of the size and complexity of the Company’s activities and also by comparison to other similar sized junior explorers.
(A) Requirement for Shareholder Approval
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained. If approval for the issue of the Director Options is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
4
The proposed Resolutions 1, 2 and 3, if passed, will allow the Company to issue the Director Options and the Company seeks to obtain member approval in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, information required under the Listing Rules as well as information that will properly enable shareholders to consider Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 is presented below.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) the Director Options will be issued to Mr Russell Barwick, Mr Robert Rutherford and Mr Joshua Pitt and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;
-
(b) the maximum number of Director Options to be granted to the Directors (or their nominees) is 2,000,000; (c) the Director Options will be issued to the Directors (or their nominees) no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting.
-
(d) the Director Options are being issued for nil cash consideration and thus no funds will be raised by the Company in granting the options.
-
(e) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 1.
-
(f) the proceeds from the exercise of the Director Options will be used for working capital purposes.
The Company considers the proposed issue of Director Options is reasonable remuneration (i) for a company of the size and nature of the Company and (ii) which, given that the Company has other preferred uses for its available cash, is an appropriate alternative for providing incentives to the Directors.
(B) Potential Benefits – Issue of Director Options
If the Director Options are issued pursuant to the proposed Resolutions 1, 2 and 3, the Company considers the following benefits arise:
-
(i) Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt will have a vested interest in the affairs of the Company, as the holders of Director Options and as shareholders upon exercise of the Director Options, particularly as the Director Options are not transferable.
-
(ii) The issue of the Director Options to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt is a non-cash form of remuneration, thus conserving the Company’s cash reserves. The issue enables the Company to provide its Directors with reward for services provided and/or as an incentive for future services they will provide to the Company to further progress the Company in a cost-effective manner, as opposed to other forms of remuneration, such as cash.
-
(iii) The exercise of the Directors Options will provide working capital for the Company. The options are exercisable at a 25% premium (rounded up to the nearest cent) to the VWAP on the day of issue. Based on the VWAP of $0.098 on 8 April 2019, the exercise price would be $0.13. If all of the Directors Options proposed to be issued to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt are ultimately exercised, based on an exercise price of $0.13, an amount of $260,000 would be raised.
(C) Potential Costs – Issue of Director Options
The Director Options are to be granted for nil consideration and thus no funds will be raised by the Company in granting those options.
The potential cost to the Company of the issue of an aggregate of 2,000,000 Director Options to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt is that there will be a dilution of the issued share capital of the Company if the Director Options are exercised. Based on 212,258,409 ordinary shares presently on issue, the exercise of the proposed Director Options (2 million) would have a dilution effect of approximately 0.94% (with a corresponding increase in cash reserves – see (B)(iii) above).
The price of the Company’s shares quoted on the ASX over the past 12 months has ranged from a low of 8.6 cents on 16 January 2019 to a high of 15.5 cents on 19 June 2018, with a closing price of 10.0 cents on 8 April 2019, the date immediately prior to the date on which this Explanatory Memorandum was prepared.
Accounting standard AASB 2 “Share Based Payments” requires that these payments shall be measured at the more readily determinable fair value of the equity instrument. Under the accounting standards this amount will be expensed in the Income Statement – ie the value attributed to the Director Options (See Section D below) will be expensed in the profit and loss account of the Company. Where the grant date and the vesting date are different the
5
total expenditure calculated will be allocated between the two dates taking into account the terms and conditions attached to the instruments and the counterparties as well as management’s assumptions about probabilities of payments and compliance with and attainment of the set out terms and conditions.
(D) Valuation of Director Options
The Company does not have any ASX quoted options with identical or similar terms and conditions as these proposed Director Options and as such there is no comparable market value. Each Director Option grants the holder a right to be allotted one Share upon exercise of the Director Option and payment of the exercise price of the Director Option. Accordingly, the Director Options arguably have a value at the date of their grant. The Director Options may acquire future value dependent upon the extent to which the market value of Shares exceeds the exercise price of the Director Options during the term of the Director Options.
As a general proposition, options to subscribe for ordinary fully paid shares in a company have value. Various factors impact upon the value of options including things such as:
-
(i) the period outstanding before the expiry date of the options;
-
(ii) the exercise price of the options relative to the underlying price or value of the securities into which they may be converted;
-
(iii) the proportion of the issued capital as expanded consequent upon exercise represented by the shares
-
issued upon exercise (ie whether or not the shares that might be acquired upon exercise of the options represent a controlling or other significant interest);
-
(iv) the value of the shares into which the options may be converted; and
-
(v) whether or not the options are listed (ie readily capable of being liquidated).
There are various formulae which can be applied to determining the theoretical value of options (including the formula known as the Black-Scholes Model option valuation formula).
The Company has estimated the value of the Director Options using the Black-Scholes Model, which is the most widely used and recognised model for pricing options. The value of an option calculated by the Black-Scholes Model is a function of the relationship between a number of variables, being the share price, the exercise price, the time to expiry, the risk-free interest rate and the volatility of the Company’s underlying share price.
Inherent in the application of the Black-Scholes Model are a number of inputs, some of which must be assumed. The data relied upon in applying the Black-Scholes Model in the present case were as follows:
-
(i) the exercise price for the Directors Options is a 25% premium to the five day VWAP on the day of issue (rounded up to the nearest cent). Based on the VWAP of $0.098 on 8 April 2019 the exercise price used for the purposes of the Black-Scholes Model is $0.13;
-
(ii) length of period prior to conversion being 3 years. For the purposes of the analysis it was assumed that the Director Options would not be exercised any earlier than the expiration date, being 26 May 2022;
-
(iii) the Company has not forecast any future dividend payments. For the purposes of the analysis, it was assumed that the Company’s share price is “ex-dividend”;
-
(iv) the risk free rate used for the purposes of the analysis is the Reserve Bank of Australia cash rate as at 8 April 2019 being 1.5%;
-
(v) a volatility measure of 85%; and
-
(vi) the valuation of the Company’s share price being 10.0 cents, being the value of the Company’s share price as at 8 April 2019.
Using the Black-Scholes Model and the assumed data outlined above, the directors have valued the Director Options as at 8 April 2019 at 4.9 cents each.
Using this analysis (4.9 cents attributed to each Director Option), the total value of the proposed Director Options to be granted to each of Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt is as follows:
6
| Mr Barwick Mr Rutherford Mr Pitt TOTAL |
Number of Director Options Total Value of Director Options 500,000 $24,500 1,000,000 $49,000 500,000 $24,500 |
|---|---|
| 2,000,000 $98,000 |
(E) Related Parties' Existing Interest
Excluding the Director Options the subject of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3, the current interests of Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt (and entities associated with them) in the Company’s securities are as follows:
| Director | Shares | Options (Note 1) |
Options (Note 2) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mr Barwick | 4,800,000 | 500,000 | 500,000 |
| Mr Rutherford | 12,361,878 | 1,000,000 | 1,000,000 |
| Mr Pitt | 17,807,622 | 500,000 | 500,000 |
Note 1 – These options were granted in November 2017 to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt, and are exercisable at 20 cents each on or before 12 November 2020.
Note 2 – These options were granted in November 2016 to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt, and are exercisable at 14 cents each on or before 13 November 2019.
(F) Directors' Emoluments
Other than the Director Options, the directors' current remuneration is as follows:
| Director | Position | Annual Remuneration |
|---|---|---|
| Mr Barwick (Note 2) | Non - Executive Chairman | $48,000 |
| Mr Rutherford (Note 1) | Managing Director | $251,800 |
| Mr Pitt (Note 2) | Non - Executive Director | $24,000 |
Note 1 – Mr Rutherford’s total fixed remuneration (inclusive of statutory superannuation) increased from $239,810 to $251,800 effective 1 January 2019. Mr Rutherford’s salary had previously been unchanged since 2013. Based on available data the adjusted fixed remuneration is in line with industry data. In addition, the Board has resolved to award Mr Rutherford a cash bonus of $120,000 (inclusive of statutory superannuation) in recognition of his commitment and efforts over the previous 5 years (no other cash bonuses were awarded during this period) and in particular in recognition of Mr Rutherford’s leading role in securing the Greenfields Discovery Alliance agreement (Agreement) with OZ Minerals Ltd in January 2019. The payment of the bonus is contingent upon the Company receiving $1.2 million in cash payments pursuant to the Agreement.
Note 2 – Non-executive director fees have been unchanged since 2003.
(G) Directors' Recommendation
Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt express no opinion and make no recommendation in respect of the resolutions that apply specifically to them. Otherwise, each of the Directors recommend that shareholders approve Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 for the reasons set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, including:
-
(i) Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt will have a vested interest in the affairs of the Company, as existing shareholders and the holders of the Director Options; and
-
(ii) The issue of Director Options to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt is a non-cash form of remuneration, thus conserving the Company’s cash reserves. The issue enables the Company to provide its Directors with reward for services provided and provide an incentive with respect to future services they will provide to the Company to further progress the Company,
and on the basis that, in their opinion, the proposed issue of Director Options is fair and reasonable having regard to the terms of the Director Options.
7
(H) Other Information
No stamp duty will be payable in respect of the grant of the Director Options. No GST will be payable by the Company in respect of the grant of the Director Options (or if it is then it will be recoverable as an input credit). Payroll tax at normal rates may be payable in the future by the Company, subject to the exercise of the Director Options.
Subject to receipt of shareholder approval, the options will be granted no later than a month after the Meeting.
Other than the information above and otherwise set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the directors believe that there is no other information known to the Company or its directors that will be reasonably required by shareholders to make a decision in relation to the proposed Resolutions 1, 2 and 3.
