Explanatory Statement

Item 5: Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

Explanation

Duxton Water is seeking Shareholder approval to issue an additional 10% of its issued Shares over a 12 month period pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A the Company, as an Eligible Entity, may seek the approval of its Shareholders by special resolution passed at an AGM to have this additional capacity ( 10% Placement Capacity ) to issue Shares under rule 7.1A. The exact formula for the 10% Placement Capacity is set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and the approval period to which it relates (generally no more than 12 months) is set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.1 and is detailed below.

There are a number of other rules and conditions applicable to the approval and issue of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, including:

  • a) That any new Shares issued under the 10 Placement Capacity must be in the same class as the existing quoted class of Shares of the Company.

  • b) A limitation on the discount to prevailing market price at which they may be issued.

Additional disclosure requirements

As at the date of the Notice, Duxton Water has 108,576,017 Shares on issue. Therefore the Company, subject to shareholder approval being obtained under item 9, could issue up to a further 10,857,601 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Shares that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Shares in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 Minimum Issue Price The minimum issue price of Shares that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of the issue of the Shares in accordance with the formula prescribed.

The issue price of Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must not be less than 75% of the VWAP of the Shares calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

i) The date on which the price at which the Shares are to be
issued is agreed; or
ii) If the Shares are not issued within five Trading Days of the
referred to in (i) above, the date on which the Shares are
issued.
10% Placement Period Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule
7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the

approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; and

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.1 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • 11 -

Explanatory Statement

Other Information

  • (a) Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3A, the following additional information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility. There is a risk that:

  • the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Shares than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Shares in the same class on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Shares.

  • (b) The table below shows the risk of voting dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders’ meeting; and

  • two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

The Company issues the maximum number of Shares available
under the 10% Placement Facility.

Options on issue not included.

The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution
against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why
the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

The table does not show an example of dilution that may be
caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements
pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility, based on that
shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

The table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under Listing
Rule 7.1A and no other issues of Equity Securities.

The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility
consists only of Shares.

The issue price is $1.58, being the closing price of the Shares on
ASX on 14 March 2019.
c) The Company may seek to issue the Shares for the following
purposes:

Non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and
investments. In such circumstances the Company will
provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as
referred to in the Note to Listing Rule 7.1A.3;

Cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company
intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of
new and existing assets or investments (including expense
associated with such acquisition) and/or general working
capital.

Explanatory Statement

  • d) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Shares.

  • e) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Shares and the number of Shares allotted to each will be determined on a caseby-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which the existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Shares on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments or the nominee of such vendors.

  • f) The Company has previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s AGM held on 3 May 2018, requiring the following disclosure under ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6:

  • i) The Company has issued a total of 34,450,174 equity securities in the 12 months preceding this Meeting, which represents approximately 31.73% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. The Company issued:

    • i. 336,881 fully paid Ordinary Shares to option holders as a result of exercise of listed options at an issue price of $1.10 per share, raising a total of $370,569.10 which was spent on general working capital.

Formula for calculating the 10% Placement

  • The number of Shares which the Company may issue pursuant to this item 9 in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 may be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:

  • i. plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • ii. plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • iii. plus the number of fully paid shares in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 – this does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity (which is not subject to shareholder approval);

  • iv. less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the previous 12 months

D is 10%

E is the number of Shares issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

Board Recommendation The Directors believe that this resolution is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour.

  • 16 -

==> picture [65 x 74] intentionally omitted <==

Explanatory Statement

In particular, the ability of the Company to issue new Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity will enable the Company to issue Shares in circumstances where it might otherwise be subjected to the cost, delay and uncertainty of having to go back to the Shareholders for approval. The additional flexibility and speed to conduct capital raising will better position the Company to pursue its interests in the prevailing market conditions. Voting Exclusion A voting exclusion statement applies to this resolution, as set out in the Notice.

Voting by Proxy

  2. Where two proxies are appointed to attend and vote at the meeting, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified proportion or number of the Shareholder’s voting rights at the Meeting.

  3. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

  4. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. If a body corporate is appointed, the proxy form must indicate the full name of the body corporate and the full name or title of the individual representative of the body corporate for the Meeting.

To record a valid vote, a shareholder will need to take the following steps:

  • cast the shareholder’s vote online by visiting www.investorvote.com.au and entering the shareholder’s Control Number, SRN/HIN and postcode, which are shown on the first page of the enclosed proxy form; or

  • complete and lodge the manual proxy form at the share registry of the Company, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited:

  • by post at the following address:

Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited GPO Box 242

MELBOURNE VIC 3001

OR

  • by facsimile on 1800 783 447 (within Australia) or +61 3 9473 2555 (outside Australia); or

  • for Intermediary Online subscribers only (custodians), cast the shareholder’s vote online by visiting www.intermediaryonline.com,

==> picture [65 x 74] intentionally omitted <==

5. ‘Snap Shot’ Time

The Company may specify a time, not more than 48 hours before the Meeting, at which a ‘snapshot’ of shareholders will be taken for the purposes of determining shareholder entitlements to vote at the Meeting. The Directors have determined that all shares of the Company that are quoted on ASX as at 7.00 pm (Adelaide time) on 14 May 2018 shall, for the purposes of determining voting entitlements at the Meeting, be taken to be held by the persons registered as holding the shares at that time.

Proxy Voting by the Chair

The Corporations Act imposes prohibitions on KMP and their Closely Related Parties from voting their shares (or voting undirected proxies) on and amongst other things, remuneration matters.

However, the chair of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (i.e. a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted), provided the Shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given an express voting direction to the chair to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of KMP. If you complete a proxy form that authorises the Chair of the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy and you do not mark any of the boxes as give the Chair directions about how your vote should be cast, then you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chair to exercise your proxy.

The Company’s Chairman will chair the Meeting and intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each item of business.
