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:

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.

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:
-

-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Shares on the control 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.
-

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.

==> 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.
