5. WAIVER DECISIONS
On 1 December 2021, the Company received:
- (a) confirmation that Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 11(a) does not apply to the cash consideration payable to Diego Ivan Mojica Corchuelo and Jairo Vidal Cuellar Rodriguez for the acquisition of Cooperativo Minero de Norte de Santander SAS, the holder of title to FI3-152 Mining Title being the Vetas Project in Colombia;
- (b) a waiver to permit the Company to have on issue the 200,000 Performance Rights issued to Joseph Van Den Elsen for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 1.1 condition 12; and
- (c) confirmation that the terms of the 200,000 Performance Rights were appropriate and equitable for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 6.1.
Waiver Decision (Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 11(a))
Based solely on the information provided, ASX Limited ('ASX') confirms to Ronin Resources Limited (the 'Company') that Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 11(a) does not apply to the cash consideration payable to Diego Ivan Mojica Corchuelo and Jairo Vidal Cuellar Rodriguez for the acquisition of Cooperativo Minero de Norte de Santander SAS, the holder of title to FI3-152 Mining Title being the 'Vetas Project' in Colombia.
ASX has considered Listing Rule 1.1, Condition 11 only and makes no statement as to the Company's compliance with other Listing Rules.
Waiver decision (Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 12)
Based solely on the information provided, ASX Limited ('ASX') grants to Ronin Resources Ltd (the 'Company') a waiver from Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 12 to the extent necessary to permit the Company to have on issue 200,000 performance rights to be issued to a Director ('Performance Rights') with a nil exercise price on condition that the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are clearly disclosed in the Company's initial public offering prospectus ('Prospectus').
ASX has considered Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 12 only and makes no statement as to the Company's compliance with other Listing Rules.
Basis for Waiver Decision (Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 12)
If an entity seeking admission to the official list has options or performance rights on issue, the exercise price for each underlying security must be at least 20 cents in cash. This rule supports listing rule 2.1 condition 2 which requires the issue price or sale price of
all securities for which an entity is seeking quotation (except options) upon admission to the official list to be at least 20 cents in cash. These requirements together support the integrity of the ASX market, as they demonstrate that the entity's ordinary securities have a minimum value suitable for a listed entity.
Facts/Reasons for granting the in-principle waiver (Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 12)
In the present case, the number of Performance Rights represent approximately 0.65% of the ordinary shares on issue at the time of the Company's admission on an undiluted basis. The Performance Rights are fixed in number and will be held by a Director and are therefore unlikely to have any impact on the trading price of the Company's shares. The Performance Rights convert into ordinary shares in the Company on a one-for-one basis on the achievement of both a service requirement and a VWAP hurdle.
It is considered that the existence of Performance Rights will not undermine the existence of the 20 cent rule in the circumstances. The waiver is granted on the condition that the material terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are clearly disclosed in the Prospectus.
Confirmation Decision (Listing Rule 6.1)
Subject to resolution (f) below and based solely on the information provided, ASX Limited ('ASX') confirms to Ronin Resources Ltd (the 'Company') that the terms of 200,000 performance rights ('Performance Securities') issued by the Company to a Director are appropriate and equitable for the purposes of Listing Rule 6.1 subject to the following conditions:
-
(a) The prospectus issued in connection with the Company's IPO contains the following details in respect of the Performance Securities:
