The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 2,750,000 Director Options (Director Options) to Messrs Terence Topping, Matthew Banks, Andrew McBain and Michael Smith (Related Parties) (or their nominees) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Mr Terence Topping is an Executive Director and Mr Matthew Banks, Mr Andrew McBain and Mr Michael Smith are Non-Executive Directors of the Company.
Resolutions 8 to 11 (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 2,750,000 Director Options to the Related Parties (or their nominees) as follows:
| ResolutionDirector | Number of Director Options(i) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution 8 | Terence Topping | 1,500,000 | ||
| Resolution 9 | Matthew Banks | 750,000 | ||
| Resolution10 | Andrew McBain | 250,000 | ||
| Resolution 11 | Michael Smith | 250,000 |
Note:
(i) Expiry date on or before 5.00pm WST on the date that is 4 years less one day following the date of issue at an exercise price equal to either $0.08 or 140% of the VWAP for the 5 Trading Days preceding the date of the Meeting, whichever is higher. Accordingly the exercise price is not known as at the date of this Notice. The exercise price will be announced when known, but in any case prior to the Meeting.
No funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Options. Any funds raised from exercise of the Director Options will be used for general working capital purposes. There are no significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options upon the terms proposed. The respective Directors must contribute their own money to the Company to fund the exercise price of their respective Director Options.
7.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
- (a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 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 Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Terence Topping, Matthew Banks, Andrew McBain and Michael Smith are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
Each Director (other than where that Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of a Resolution relevant to that Director) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Options to each other Director because the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options is not to raise capital, but to form part of the respective Director's remuneration package. Under the Company's present circumstances, the Board considers that the issue of the Director Options is a cost effective and appropriate component of the Directors' remuneration packages, and is preferred over the payment of further cash consideration.
7.3 Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the grant of the Director Options involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
7.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11:
- (a) The Director Options will be issued to:
- (i) Mr Terence Topping (or his nominee);
- (ii) Mr Matthew Banks (or his nominee);
- (iii) Mr Andrew McBain (or his nominee); and
- (iv) Mr Michael Smith (or his nominee);
(b) the maximum number of Director Options to be issued is as follows:
| Director | Number of Options |
|---|---|
| TerenceTopping (or his nominee) | 1,500,000 |
| Matthew Banks (or his nominee) | 750,000 |
| Andrew McBain (or his nominee) | 250,000 |
| Mr Michael Smith (or his nominee) | 250,000 |
| TOTAL | 2,750,000 |
- (c) the Company will issue the Director Options no later than one month after the date of the Meeting or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;
- (d) the Options will be issued for nil consideration. The Director Options will not vest, and may not be exercised until, the relevant Director has performed a minimum of 12 months continuous service to the Company commencing on the date the Director Options are issued; and
- (e) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 2.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Director Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the grant of Director Options to Messrs Terence Topping, Matthew Banks, Andrew McBain and Michael Smith (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
8. RESOLUTION 12 – APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF RELATED PARTY SHARES TO MR MATTHEW BANKS
8.1 Background
In the interests of preserving cash in what are difficult economic times, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 500,000 Shares (Related Party Shares) to Non-Executive Director, Mr Matthew Banks, (or his nominee) in lieu of gross director fees of $30,000 for the period 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolution 12 seeks the Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Shares to Mr Matthew Banks (or his nominee).
8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
- (a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 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 Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Matthew 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 Resolution 12) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Shares because the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Shares is not to raise capital, but to form part of the respective Director's remuneration package. Under the Company's present circumstances, the Board considers that the issue of the Related Party Shares is a cost effective and appropriate component of the Directors' remuneration packages, and is preferred over the payment of further cash consideration.
8.3 Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the issue of the Related Party Shares involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
8.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11:
- (a) the Related Party Shares will be issued to Mr Matthew Banks (or his nominee);
- (b) the maximum number of Related Party Shares to be issued is 500,000;
- (c) the Company will issue the Related Party Shares no later than one month after the date of the Meeting or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow and it is intended that issue of the Related Party Shares will occur on the same date;
- (d) the Related Party Shares will be issued for nil consideration as they are being issued in lieu of director fees for the period 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014;
- (e) the Related Party Shares will be issued on the same terms as, and rank equally with, all other Shares on issue and application will be made for their quotation on ASX.
- (f) no funds will be raised by the issue of Related Party Shares although the Company's liability to Mr Matthew Banks in relation to his Director's fee for the period 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 will be satisfied by the issue of these Related Party Shares, thus preserving the Company's cash to that extent.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Related Party Shares to Mr Matthew Banks (or his nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Instructions for Completing 'Appointment of Proxy' Form
-
- (Appointing a proxy): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
-
- (Direction to vote): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3. (Signing instructions):
- (Individual): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
- (Joint holding): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
- (Power of attorney): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
- (Companies): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
-
- (Attending the Meeting): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.
-
- (Return of Proxy Form): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
- (a) post to Rumble Resources Limited, GPO Box 2517, Perth, Western Australia 6831; or
