  • (d) the person is the Chair and the appointment of the Chair as proxy does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution, but expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 7.

3. Annual Report

In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report, including the Financial Report, the Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2014.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report which is available online at www.rumbleresources.com;
  • (b) ask questions about, or comment on, the management of the Company; and
  • (c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report.

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

4.1 General

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company must put a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted to the vote of Shareholders at the Meeting. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors.

The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

4.2 Voting consequences

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, pursuant to the Corporations Act, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more (Strike) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the managing director.

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election (Spill Resolution).

If more than 50% of votes are cast in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a Shareholder meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the Directors who were in office when the Directors' Report (as included in the Company's financial report for the previous financial year) was approved, other than the managing Director, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting, those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

4.3 Previous voting results

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2013 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2015 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

4.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should not the following:

(a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) who remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member, as your proxy:

You must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

(b) If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member):

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you will be expressly authorising the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

(c) If you appoint any other person as your proxy:

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Michael Smith

Clause 11.6 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provide that a director of an entity (except a managing director) must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer.

Clause 11.3 of the Constitution requires that one-third of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number), and Clause 11.4 provides that a retiring Director is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has 4 Directors, and accordingly, one must retire.

Under Clause 11.5, the Directors to retire at any annual general meeting must be those who have served the longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire must be determined by lot (unless otherwise agreed upon between those Directors).

Mr Michael Smith was appointed as a Director on 31 January 2011 and re-elected on 29 November 2011.

Pursuant to the above Clauses of the Constitution, Mr Michael Smith retires by rotation, and being eligible, seeks re-election.

Mr Smith is a director of Smith Feutrill and is a Chartered Accountant with over 26 years of experience in the accounting, business and taxation advice sectors. He is a Fellow of the Taxation Institute of Australia, a Chartered Tax Advisor and was chief executive of a division of a publicly listed national financial services consolidator for five years, overseeing significant growth in that time.

The Board (excluding Mr Smith) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting (10% Placement Facility). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. Based on the ASX closing price on 21 October 2014, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $4.9 million. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue three quoted classes of Equity Securities, Shares and two classes of quoted Options.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
    • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
    • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
    • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
    • (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%
  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 124,399,477 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 18,659,921 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3 12,439,947 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c)).

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class 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 Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
  • (f) 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; or
  • (ii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

(10% Placement Period).

6.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

6.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities 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 Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
    • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
  • (b) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares). There is a risk that:
    • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
    • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

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

  • (c) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice.
  • (d) The table also shows:
    • (i) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
    • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
  • (ii) No Options or Convertible Notes (including any Options or Convertible Notes issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
  • (iii) 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%.
  • (iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
  • (vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
  • (vii) The issue price is $0.04, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 21 October 2014.
  • (e) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.
  • (f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
    • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
    • (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards exploration of its projects and

potentially the funding for any suitable acquisition opportunities identified by the Board.

  • (g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
  • (h) 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 Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the 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 existing security holders can participate;
    • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
    • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

Notes:

  • 1 Market Price means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.
  • 2 Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ASX Code: RTR (terms are set out in the Constitution).
  • 3 In respect of quoted Equity Securities the value is based on the closing price of the Shares ($0.04) or Options ($0.019) as the context requires on the ASX on the trading day prior to the date of this Notice. In respect of unquoted Equity Securities the value of Options is measured using the Black & Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the Option, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the Option. No account is taken of any performance conditions included in the terms of the Option other than market based performance conditions (i.e. conditions linked to the price of Shares).

    • (l) At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

7. Resolution 4 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares

7.1 General

On 30 July 2014, the Company issued 100,000 Shares in consideration for corporate services provided by Mrs Donna Michelle Harvey.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 100,000 Shares.

7.2 Listing Rule 7.4

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1, the Company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more 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.

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

The Shares were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.

9.1 General

On 25 July 2014, the Company issued 2,000,000 Shares to Canyon Resources Ltd in consideration for an 85% interest in the Derosa Project in Burkina Faso.

As announced to ASX on 25 July 2014, the Company renegotiated with its joint venture partner Canyon Resources Ltd to earn an 85% interest in the Derosa Project. Pursuant to the terms of the original joint venture agreement, the Company was entitled to earn up to a 75% interest in the Derosa Project through the expenditure of up to US$3 million on the Derosa Project prior to 31 March 2017.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 2,000,000 Shares.

9.2 Listing Rule 7.4

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 7.2 above.

The effect of the Shareholders passing Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without obtaining prior Shareholder approval.

  • (e) no funds were raised from the issue as the Shares were issued for the acquisition of an 85% interest in the Derosa Project.

10. Resolution 7 – Issue of Shares to Mr Matthew Banks

10.1 Background

The Company proposes to issue Shares to Mr Banks, a director of the Company, in lieu of directors fees owing to him up, to the value of $30,000 (Related Party Shares). It is proposed that Mr Banks participate in Employee Share Plan in respect of director fees which the Company has agreed to pay to Mr Banks for the financial year commencing on 1 July 2014 and ending on 30 June 2015. Mr Banks is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

Under the Share Plan, the Company can make offers, subject to Shareholder approval, to participating directors to accept Shares in lieu of their director fees owing by the Company. The decision as to whether Shares or cash is offered to the participating directors is at the total discretion of the current Board.

Whilst the Board can make offers to issue Shares to participating directors; the issue of the Shares is not able to proceed until after Shareholder approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit a director of that entity to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of shareholders.

The value of the Shares issued to Mr Banks is likely to be less than $30,000 as the total value will be reduced by any applicable income tax that must be withheld by the Company.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Shares to Mr Matthew Banks (or his nominee).

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

10.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Related Party Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Banks is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Banks who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Related Party Shares as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. The Related Party Shares are being issued in lieu of a portion of Directors' fees payable to Mr Banks and are considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.

As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

10.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Listing Rule 10.15 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.15:

  • (a) the Related Party Shares will be issued to Mr Matthew Banks (or his nominee);
  • (b) the maximum number of shares which may be issued is determined by the gross Directors fees of $30,000 (noting that this amount will likely be less as the amount will be reduced by any applicable income tax to be withheld) divided by the deemed issue price of the Shares calculated in accordance with paragragh (c) below. The number of Shares issued each quarter will be a function of the deemed issue price and the proportion of fees that the Company decides to satisfy through the issue of Shares;
  • (c) the maximum number of Shares that may be issued to Matthew Banks will be no more than 714,285 Shares (this figure is based on a deemed issue price of 4.2 cents per Share, being the closing Share price to 23 October 2014);
  • (d) the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued in satisfaction of all or part of the Director's fees agreed to be paid by the Company to Mr Matthew Banks at quarterly intervals. The Shares will be deemed to have an issue price of the volume weighted average sale price of Shares for each quarter for the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015;
  • (e) the Company has issued a total of 400,000 Shares pursuant to the Employee Share Plan, these Shares were issued on 19 September 2013 and were issued to an unrelated party of the Company;
  • (f) subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the determination of the Board, the Directors and their respective nominees and associates are entitled to participate in the Employee Share Scheme; and
  • (g) the Company will grant the Related Party Shares no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow.

10.4 Board recommendation

Matthew Banks has an interest in the Resolution 7 under which Related Party Shares will be granted and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. The other Directors are unanimously in favour of the grant of the Related Party Shares in Resolution 7.

11. Resolution 8 – Approval of Employee Incentive Scheme

11.1 Background

The Company considers that it is desirable to maintain an Employee Incentive Scheme pursuant to which the Company can issue securities to eligible employees and consultants in order to provide them with an incentive to deliver growth and value to all Shareholders. Accordingly, the Company proposes to retain its Employee Incentive Scheme, comprising an Employee Share Plan and Incentive Option Scheme, the terms of which are set out in Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 (Scheme). A complete copy of the Scheme is available by contacting the Company Secretary who will provide a copy of the Scheme free of charge.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval in accordance with Exception 9(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 for the Company to issue securities under the Scheme without prior Shareholder approval and in reliance on the exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

11.2 Reasons for the Plan

The Company established the Scheme to give an additional incentive to Directors and employees of the Company to provide dedicated and ongoing commitment and effort to the Company, and for the Company to reward its Directors and employees for their efforts.

Under the Scheme, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Shares or Options in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the Scheme.

Listing Rule 7.1 places certain restrictions on the extent to which a listed company may issue certain securities, including options. The effect is that Shareholder approval is required before the Company may issue certain securities representing more than 15% of the capital of the Company within a 12 month period. However, certain issues are exempt from the restrictions of Listing Rule 7.1 and are effectively disregarded for the purposes of determining the number of securities which a company may issue within a 12 month period.

Exempt issues include an issue of securities to persons participating in an employee incentive scheme where shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the scheme as an exemption from Listing Rule 7.1. Under Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2, shareholder approval must be given in a general meeting held not more than 3 years before the date of issue when the notice of a meeting contains or is accompanied by certain prescribed information.

In order to take advantage of the exemption from Listing Rule 7.1 and allow the Company flexibility to issue securities, Shareholders are requested to approve the issue of securities under the Scheme as an exemption from Listing Rule 7.1. This approval will be effective for a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting.

Prior Shareholder approval will be required before any Director or related party of the Company can participate in the Plan.

Since the Scheme was established and a summary of its terms were set out in the Company's 2011 annual general meeting on 29 November 2011, 400,000 Shares and 4,250,000 Options have been issued under the terms of the Scheme.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, Shareholders must re-approve the Scheme every 3 years.

12. Resolution 9 – Adoption of new constitution

12.1 General

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 9 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution (Proposed Constitution).

The Company's current Constitution was adopted on 14 January 2011. Since then, there have been a number of changes to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. There have also been significant developments in corporate governance principles and general corporate and commercial practice for ASX listed entities. As a result the Board proposes that the Company adopt the Proposed Constitution which reflects these changes to the legislation and current market practice.

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.

The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature including but not limited to:

  • (a) updating references to bodies or legislation which have been renamed (e.g. references to the Australian Settlement and Transfer Corporation Pty Ltd, ASTC Settlement Rules and ASTC Transfer); and
  • (b) expressly providing for statutory rights by mirroring these rights in provisions of the Proposed Constitution.

The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Memorandum, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company's website (www.rumbleresources.com.au) or at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 6555 3980). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

A copy of the proposed Constitution is available for Shareholders to review and will be available at the Meeting. It will be marked by the Chair at the Meeting in order to identify it as the Constitution approved by Shareholders.

12.2 Summary of material proposed changes

(a) Dividends (Article 10)

The Proposed Constitution includes a number of changes to broaden the methods by which the Company may pay dividends to Shareholders. Most of these changes have been made to reflect recent amendments to the Corporations Act which mean companies are no longer restricted to paying dividends out of profits (the existing Constitution still contains this restriction).

Given that there may be future amendments to the Corporations Act regulating when a company may pay a dividend, the wording in the Proposed Constitution gives the Board the flexibility to determine that the Company pay a dividend provided that such determination complies with the Corporations Act.

The Proposed Constitution provides that Directors may declare or determine that a dividend is payable and fix the amount, time and method of payment. The existing Constitution only provides for a declaration of a dividend. This amendment reflects changes to the Corporations Act which now allows for dividends to be determined or declared.

The Proposed Constitution also expands the rule in the existing Constitution that the Directors have the ability to resolve that a dividend will be paid by the transfer of specific assets, including shares in another body corporate. Where the Company pays a dividend by a transfer of shares in another corporation, the Proposed Constitution says that Shareholders will be taken to have agreed to become members of that corporation.

(b) Minimum Shareholding (Article 2.6 and schedule 4)

Clause 6.7 of the Constitution outlines how the Company can manage shareholdings which represent an "unmarketable parcel" of shares, being a shareholding that is less than $500 based on the closing price of the Company's Shares on ASX as at the relevant time.

The Proposed Constitution is in line with the requirements for dealing with "unmarketable parcels" outlined in the Corporations Act such that where the Company elects to undertake a sale of unmarketable parcels, the Company is required to give notice to holders of an unmarketable parcel to elect to retain their shareholding before the unmarketable parcel can be dealt with by the Company.

Schedule 4 of the Proposed Constitution continues to outline in detail the process that the Company must follow for dealing with unmarketable parcels.

(c) Fee for registration of off-market transfers (Article 4.6)

The existing Constitution provides that a document of transfer of shares must be accompanied by evidence that any fee payable on registration of the transfer has been paid.

On 24 January 2011, ASX amended Listing Rule 8.14 with the effect that the Company may now charge a "reasonable fee" for registering paper-based transfers, sometimes referred to as "off-market transfers".

The Proposed Constitution expressly enables the Company to charge a reasonable fee when it is required to register off-market transfers from Shareholders. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its fraud detection practices specific to off-market transfers.

(d) General meetings

(i) Use of Technology (Article 5.5)

The Proposed Constitution codifies the Corporations Act requirements by providing that a general meeting may be held at two or more venues simultaneously using any technology that gives the members as a whole a reasonable opportunity to participate. The existing Constitution is silent on the use of technology for these purposes.

(i) Class rights (Articles 2.3 and 5.6)

The existing Constitution changes the quorum and poll requirements for separate class meetings from those applicable to general meetings, by making the quorum for a meeting of a class of Shareholders two members holding or representing at least onethird of the shares in the class.

These requirements have not been retained in the Proposed Constitution. This means that the quorum requirements applying to a class meeting will be the same as a general meeting (being 2 or more members present and entitled to vote).

(ii) Polls (Article 5.10)

The Proposed Constitution clarifies who may demand a poll at a general meeting of the Company, namely, at least 5 members entitled to vote on the resolution, members with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast on the resolution, or the Chair. The existing Constitution requires only that the poll be "properly demanded".

(e) Appointment of proxies (Articles 5.14(e)-(f))

The Proposed Constitution provides for the chairperson to determine the validity of an instrument appointing a proxy, attorney or representative, and that an instrument appointing a proxy may be valid even if it only contains some of the information required.

(f) Proportional takeover provisions (Article 4.5(e) and schedule 5)

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder's shares.

Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last renewal of the clause.

The information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act is set out below.

(i) Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.

(ii) Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

(iii) Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

(iv) Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (A) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
  • (B) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;
  • (C) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and
  • (D) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (A) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;

  • (B) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and

  • (C) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.

  • (v) Recommendation of the Board

The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provision in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.
