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.

If this resolution is passed, Duxton Water will be able to issue up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.

If this resolution is not passed, Duxton Water will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Additional disclosure requirements

As at the date of the Notice, Duxton Water has 119,375,090 Shares on issue. Therefore the Company, subject to shareholder approval being obtained under item 9, could issue up to a further 11,937,509 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

  • 10 -

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

Explanatory Statement

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

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 $1.28, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX
on 08/04/2020.
c) The Company may seek to issue the Shares for the following purposes:

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.
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 case-by-

Explanatory Statement

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

  1. A Shareholder entitled to vote at the AGM may appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the Shareholder. As no shareholders are able to attend the AGM in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shareholders are strongly encouraged to elect the chair of the meeting as their proxy. If a proxy other than the Chair is appointed, that person will be unable to attend the AGM in person and will not be able to vote on the resolutions.

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,

so that it is received no later than 10.00 am (Adelaide time) on 15 May 2020.

Please note that when the chair of the meeting is your proxy (or becomes your proxy by default), you expressly authorise the chair to exercise your proxy on Resolution 2 even though it is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel for the Company, which includes the chair. When appointing the chair as your proxy you can direct the chair to vote for or against or abstain from voting on Resolution 3 and 4 by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form.

The chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each item of business.

2. ‘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 17 May 2020 shall, for the purposes of

  • 18 -

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

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 Key Management Personnel 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 Key Management Personnel. 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.
