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. BACKGROUND TO THE $1M PLACEMENT - RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2

As announced on or around the date of this Notice, the Company is intending to complete a placement of up to 20,000,000 Shares, at an issue price of $0.05 per Share to raise up to $1,000,000 ($1M Placement).

As at the date of this Notice, the Shares under the $1M Placement have not been issued. However, the Directors consider that they have adequate reason to believe that up to 17,000,000 Shares may be issued under the $1M Placement before the date of the Meeting. Any Shares issued before the date of the Meeting will be issued in accordance with the Company's placement capacities under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A.

As the timing of the issue is not known, the Company is seeking approvals under Resolutions 1 and 2 in respect of the $1M Placement being:

  • (a) the ratification of up to 17,000,000 Shares (being the maximum number of Shares that may be issued under the $1M Placement under the Company's placement capacities); and
  • (b) the approval of up to 20,000,000 Shares (being the maximum number of Shares to be issued following the Meeting, in the event that no Shares are issued prior to the date of the Meeting).

In the event that the issue of any Shares under the $1M Placement has not occurred prior to the date of the Meeting, the Directors will withdraw Resolution 1 and instead seek Shareholder approval for the issue of 20,000,000 Shares under Resolution 2 below.

The Company confirms that the maximum of Shares to be issued in respect of the $1M Placement (and the cumulative effect of the approvals being sort under Resolutions 1 and 2) is 20,000,000 Shares. Accordingly, if the Company has issued 17,000,000 Shares under the $1M Placement prior to the date of the Meeting, the Company will issue a maximum of 3,000,000 Shares pursuant to the approval under Resolution 2.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - $1M PLACEMENT

2.1 General

If no Shares under the $1M Placement have been issued prior to this Meeting then Resolution 1 will be withdrawn during this Meeting.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification for the issue of up to 17,000,000 Shares, at an issue price of $0.05 per Share to raise up to $850,000 as part of the $1M Placement.

As at the date of this Notice, the Shares under the $1M Placement have not been issued. However, as set out above, the Directors consider that they have adequate reason to believe that the Shares may be issued before the date of the Meeting.

If any Shares under the $1M Placement are issued prior to the Meeting, the Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A as follows:

  • (a) up to 7,578,719 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and then
  • (b) up to 9,421,281 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The purpose of Resolution 1 therefore is to seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of the Shares under the $1M Placement on the basis that those Shares are issued prior to the date of the Meeting.

In the event that the issue of any Shares under the $1M Placement has not occurred prior to the date of the Meeting, the Directors will withdraw Resolution 1 and instead look to issue the full 20,000,000 Shares under the approval being sought under Resolution 2 below.

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.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the issue of Shares issued under the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 capacity, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

  • (a) will not be counted in variable "A" in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
  • (b) are counted in variable "E",

until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue.

By ratifying the issue of Shares issued under the Company's Listing Rule 7.1A capacity, the base figure (ie variable "A") in which the Company's 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) a maximum of 17,000,000 Shares will be issued, being:
    • (i) up to 7,578,719 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and
    • (ii) up to 9,421,281 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A;
  • (b) the issue price will be $0.05 per Share;
  • (c) the Shares will all be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
  • (d) the Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors. None of these subscribers will be related parties of the Company; and
  • (e) the Company intends to use the funds raised in accordance with the Section 2.3.

Refer to the announcement for further details of the Acquisition. The Menzies Acquisition remains subject to a number of conditions including Shareholder approval.

A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
    1. (Direction to vote): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business.
