PROXY AND VOTING INSTRUCTIONS
Proxy Instructions
A member who is entitled to vote at a meeting may appoint:
(a) one proxy if the member is only entitled to one vote; and
(b) one or two proxies if the member is entitled to more than one vote.
Where more than one proxy is appointed each proxy may be appointed to represent a specific proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes in which case any fraction of votes will be disregarded.
The proxy form (and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which the proxy form is signed) or a copy or facsimile which appears on its face to be an authentic copy of the proxy form (and the power of attorney or other authority) must be lodged at the registered office of the Company or sent by facsimile transmission to the Company's registered office on (03) 9614 0550 not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the Meeting, or adjourned meeting as the case may be, at which the individual named in the proxy form proposes to vote.
The proxy form must be signed by the member or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the member is a corporation, in a manner permitted by the Corporations Act. A proxy given by a foreign corporation must be executed in accordance with the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation.
The proxy may, but need not, be a member of the Company.
A proxy form is attached to this Notice.
If you sign the proxy form and do not appoint a proxy, you will have appointed the Chair of the meeting as your proxy. In that case, your shares will not be voted on Resolutions 2 – 5 unless you direct the Chair how to vote by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form or otherwise indicate your express consent to the Chair voting your votes on Resolutions 2 – 5.

For the purposes of the Corporations Act and Corporations Regulations shareholders entered on the Company’s Register of Members as at 31 July 2013, 10.00am (Melbourne, Victoria time) are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting.
On a poll, members have one vote for every fully paid ordinary share held. Holders of options are not entitled to vote.
How the Chair Will Vote Undirected Proxies
The Chair of the meeting will vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all of the proposed resolutions. However, any undirected proxies held by the Chair of the meeting will not be voted on Resolutions 2 – 5 unless the express consent of the shareholder is given in the proxy appointment.
Proxies that are Undirected on Resolutions 2 – 5
If you appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy (or if he may be appointed by default) and do not either (a) direct the Chair how to vote on Resolutions 2 – 5, or (b) provide your express consent to the Chair voting your undirected proxy on Resolutions 2 – 5; the Chair will not vote your proxy on that item of business. Accordingly, if you appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy (or if he may be appointed by default) and you want your shares to be voted on that item of business, you should either (a) direct the Chair how to vote on Resolutions 2 – 5; or (b) tick the box on the proxy form to confirm your consent to the Chair voting your undirected proxy on Resolutions 2 – 5.

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
PURPOSE OF INFORMATION
This Explanatory Memorandum ("this Memorandum") accompanies and forms part of the Company’s Notice of General Meeting to be held at The Institute of Chartered Accountants, Level 3, 600 Bourke Street, Melbourne, Vic, 3000 at 10.00am (Melbourne, Victoria time) on Friday 2[nd] August 2013 The Notice of General Meeting incorporates, and should be read together with, this Memorandum.
RESOLUTION 1 – CONSOLIDATION OF SHARES AND EXISTING OPTIONS
This Resolution seeks shareholder approval for the consolidation of the Company’s issued capital (shares and options) on the basis of one new share for each twenty existing shares held. Fractional entitlements will be rounded up. The passing of this Resolution will have no impact on each shareholder’s shareholding in the Company relative to each other shareholder. It is proposed that the consolidation of shares and existing options will take place in accordance with the indicative timetable attached to this Explanatory Memorandum as Annexure A.
Section 254H Corporations Act
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may convert all of any of its shares into a smaller or larger number of shares by resolution passed at a general meeting. The ASX Listing Rules also require that the number of options on issue be consolidated at the same ratio as the Company’s ordinary share capital and that the exercise price be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
For the purposes of section 254H of the Corporations Act, this Resolution seeks shareholder approval for the Company to consolidate its issued capital on a 20 to 1 basis such that:
-
(a) every twenty (20) ordinary shares will be consolidated into one (1) ordinary share; and
-
(b) every twenty (20) options to acquire ordinary shares will be consolidated into one (1) option to acquire an ordinary share.
In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and section 254H(2)(a) of the Corporations Act, the consolidation will take effect from the date on which this resolution is passed and in accordance with the indicative timetable set out as Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum. Details of the shareholding of each shareholder will be determined by notification of the change despatched six (6) business days after the date of the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company proposes to undertake the consolidation of its issued capital to ensure that the number of securities on issue and the trading price of the Company’s securities are at a level broadly comparable to that of its peers and to potentially reduce the fees payable in respect of share and option sale transactions on the ASX.
- 6 -
The Directors do not believe that any material disadvantage will arise for shareholder or option holders as a result of the proposed consolidation of the Company’s issued securities. However, there can be no assurances as to the level at which the Company’s shares will trade following the consolidation of the Company’s securities.
ASX Listing Rule 7.20
ASX Listing Rule 7.20 states that if an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must inform equity security holders in writing of each of the following:
-
the effect of the proposal on the number of securities of the Company and the amount unpaid, if any, on the securities;
-
the proposed treatment of any fractional entitlements arising from the reorganisation; and
-
the proposed treatment of any convertible securities on issue.
Consolidation of existing shares
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.20, the Company advises the following:
-
The Company does not have any partly paid securities on issue and accordingly, the proposal will have no effect on partly paid securities.
-
Any fractional entitlements as a result of the consolidation will be rounded up.
-
The impact on the number of shares currently on issue following the consolidation will be as follows:
| No. of pre-consolidation shares as at the date of the Notice of General Meeting |
No. of post-consolidation Shares |
|---|---|
| 1,680,916,486 | 84,045,824* |
*The precise number of post consolidation shares on issue will depend on the effect of rounding up on each shareholder’s individual holding. As previously noted, fractional entitlements will be rounded up.
Consolidation of existing options
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.20, the Company advises the following:
-
The Company’s options will be consolidated on a 20 to 1 basis (on the same basis as the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares are proposed to be consolidated).
-
Any fractional entitlements as a result of the consolidation will be rounded up.
-
The exercise price of the options will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
-
The impact on the number of options and their exercise price is set out in the table below:
| No. of pre- consolidation options |
Exercise price pre- consolidation |
No. of post-consolidation options |
Exercise price post- consolidation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60,000,000 | 2.25 cents | 3,000,000 | 45 cents |
| 200,000,000 | 4 cents | 10,000,000 | 80 cents |
| 100,000,000 | 0.9 cents | 5,000,000 | 18 cents |
- 7 -
*The precise number of post consolidation options on issue will depend on the effect of rounding up on each option holder’s individual holding. As previously noted, fractional entitlements will be rounded up.
-
The expiry date of the options post consolidation will remain the same.
-
The terms and conditions of the Company’s existing options are set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum.
Holding Statements
From the date of the consolidation, all existing holding statements for shares and options will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of shares and options on a post consolidation basis. After the consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements to be issued to shareholders and option holders. It is the responsibility of each shareholder and option holder to check the number of shares and options held prior to a disposal.
Taxation Implications
Shareholders and option holders are advised to seek their own taxation advice on the effect of the consolidation, and neither the Company, nor the Directors (or the Company’s advisers) accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the consolidation.
BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 2 – 4
Resolutions 2 – 4 seek shareholder approval for the issue of unlisted options (on a post consolidation basis) to Directors of the Company (or their nominees) as follows:
| Director | Maximum No of Options | Exercise Price | Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mr Gerrit de Nys | 2,000,000 | 130% of the 20 day VWAP prior to the date of issue |
3 years from the date of issue |
| Mr Rohan Gillespie | 6,000,000 | 130% of the 20 day VWAP prior to the date of issue |
3 years from the date of issue |
| Mr Guy Le Page | 1,500,000 | 130% of the 20 day VWAP prior to the date of issue |
3 years from the date of issue |
ASX Listing Rules
In respect of the unlisted options proposed to be issued to Directors of the Company, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the Company. Resolutions 2 – 4 seek shareholder approval for the issue of options to Directors, who are considered related parties of the Company. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 states that approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if approval is being obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a ‘financial benefit’ to a ‘related party’ unless one of the exceptions to the section apply or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.
- 8 -
In the case of Resolutions 2 - 4, the issue of the relevant options to the Directors constitutes a ‘financial benefit’ as defined in the Corporations Act. The options the subject of Resolutions 2 - 4 have been valued by the Company’s internal management using a Black & Scholes option pricing model, and based on the assumptions set out below, the options the subject of Resolutions 2 - 4 were ascribed a value as follows:
| Pre-consolidation | **Post consolidation *** | |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Date | 6 June 2013 | 6 June 2013 |
| Option Exercise Price | $0.0026 (0.26 cents) | $0.052 (5.2 cents) |
| Share Price (closing, 5 June 2013) | $0.002 (0.2 cents) | $0.04 (4.0 cents) |
| Expiry Date | 3 years | 3 years |
| Risk Free Rate | 2.66% | 2.66% |
| Volatility | 100% | 100% |
| Indicated Value per Option | $0.0012 (0.12 cents) | $0.024 (2.40 cents) |
*Assume relative change of 20:1 basis.
Note: The valuations noted above are not necessarily the market prices that the options the subject of Resolutions 2 - 4 could be traded at (if they were able to be traded) and they are not automatically the market prices for taxation purposes.
Based on the Black & Scholes option pricing model described above, the aggregate value of the options to be received by each of the Directors through the issues proposed at Resolutions 2 - 4 is as follows:
| Options proposed to be issued | Value (at $0.024 per option) | Other directors’ fees/remuneration (current per annum) (plus GST if applicable) |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Gerrit de Nys | 2,000,000 | $48,000 | $87,800 |
| Rohan Gillespie | 6,000,000 | $144,000 | $280,000 |
| Guy Le Page | 1,500,000 | $36,000 | $40,000 |
If the options the subject of Resolutions 2 - 4 were issued, the Directors’ respective (direct and indirect) share and/or option holdings would be as follows:
| Shares^ | Existing (on a post consolidated basis) |
Options Proposed to be issued |
Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gerrit de Nys | 500,000 | 1,875,000 | 2,000,000 | 3,875,000 |
| Rohan Gillespie | 9,000,000 | 4,725,000 | 6,000,000 | 10,725,000 |
| Guy Le Page | Nil | 750,000 | 1,500,000 | 2,250,000 |
^ Assumes that no existing options are exercised by the Directors prior to the issue of the options the subject of Resolutions 2 -4. Shares are expressed on a post consolidated basis.
Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that one of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a related party is where the benefit is given to the related party as an officer of the Company and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given:
-
the circumstances of the company; and
-
9 -
-
the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).
The Company considers the proposed issue of the options the subject of Resolutions 2 to 4 is reasonable remuneration and, as such, falls within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act. In reaching this view, the Company has considered the respective positions and responsibilities of each of the Directors, the Company’s reliance on a limited number of executive personnel, the need for the Company to effectively incentivise each of the Directors while aligning the incentive with increasing shareholder value, the desirability of preserving cash resources within the Company, and the terms of the options. The Board believes that options are an effective remuneration tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company and its group entities whilst providing valuable remuneration.
