3. Resolution 1– Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares
3.1
General
On 22 June 2020, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $6.045 million before costs ( Placement ) by the issue of 65,000,000 Shares at $0.093 each as follows:
-
(a) 63,769,300 Shares to be issued to sophisticated and professional investors who are not related parties of the Company ( Placement Shares ); and
-
(b) 1,230,700 Shares to be issued to certain Directors, subject to the receipt of prior Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 3) ( Director Placement Shares ).
Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares.
Each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 1.
3.2
Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity 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 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities comprising up to 10% of its issued capital. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 29 November 2019.
The issue of Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's placement capacity under each of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies previous issues of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issues did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, as applicable.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The effect of the resolutions which form part of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Page 10
Error! Unknown document property name. Error! Unknown document property name.
If each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 1 is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
In the event that Resolution 1(a) is not passed, the Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval to the extent of 19,130,734 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.
In the event that Resolution 1(b) is not passed, the Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agreed to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 44,638,566 Equity Securities, until the current Listing Rule 7.1A mandate expires on the earlier of:
-
(a) 30 November 2020;
-
(b) the Company's next annual general meeting; or
-
(c) the date Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
-
3.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares:
-
(a) the Placement Shares were issued to Placement Participants, none of whom is a related party of the Company or a Material Investor. Gleneagle Securities (Aust) Pty Limited acted as Lead Manager to the Placement. The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company, including but not limited to existing contacts of the Company and clients of the Lead Manager;
-
(b) a total of 63,769,300 Placement Shares were issued on 29 June 2020 and 8 July 2020 as follows:
-
(i) 19,130,734 Placement Shares were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval; and
-
(ii) 44,638,566 Placement Shares were issued within the 10% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A, without the need for Shareholder approval;
-
(c) the Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;
-
(d) the Placement Shares were issued at $0.093 per Share;
Page 11
-
(e) the proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares are intended to be used towards the upcoming drill program at the Western Queen Gold Project, exploration at the Company’s other projects and general working capital;
-
(f) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4. Resolution 2– Ratification of prior issue of Lead Manager Options
4.1
General
On 29 June 2020 and 8 July 2020, the Company issued Gleneagle Securities (Aust) Pty Limited ( Lead Manager ) (or its nominees) 4,103,115 unquoted Options exercisable at $0.15 each on or before 31 December 2022, as partial consideration for the lead manager and broker services provided by the Lead Manager to the Company in connection with the Placement ( Lead Manager Options ).
The Lead Manager Options were issued in accordance with a mandate between the Company and the Lead Manager ( Lead Manager Mandate ), a summary of the material terms of which is at Section 4.4 below.
The Lead Manager Options were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Lead Manager Options.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4.2
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Summaries of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 are in Section 3.2 above.
The issue of the Lead Manager Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that Listing Rule for the 12 month period following the issue of the Lead Manager Options.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further Equity Securities, to the extent of 4,103,115 Equity Securities, during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
In the event that Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company's ongoing capacity to issue or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without obtaining prior Shareholder approval will continue to be reduced to the extent of 4,103,115 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Lead Manager Options.
Page 12
4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Lead Manager Options:
-

-
(b) the Lead Manager Options are exercisable at $0.15 each on or before 31 December 2022 and were otherwise issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2;
-
(c) the Lead Manager Options were issued for nil cash consideration, as part consideration for lead manager/broker services provided by the Lead Manager to the Company in relation to the Placement;
-
(d) no funds were raised from the issue of the Lead Manager Options as the Lead Manager Options were issued as part consideration for lead manager/broker services provided to the Company;
-
(e) the Lead Manager Options were issued in accordance with the Lead Manager Mandate, a summary of the material terms of which is at Section 4.4 below; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4.4

The Company and the Lead Manager entered into an agreement for the provision of lead manager and broker services in relation to the Placement. The Lead Manager agreed to assist the Company with the structure of the Placement, the due diligence process as well as assist with general marketing of the Placement.
In consideration for the Lead Manager's services, the Company agreed to pay the Lead Manager:
-
(a) a management fee of 2% of the total dollar amount raised in the Placement;
-

5. Resolution 3– Approval to issue Director Placement Shares
5.1
General
Pursuant to Resolution 3, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,230,700 Director Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.093 each to raise up to $114,455 (before costs) as follows:
-
(a) 500,000 Shares to Matthew Banks; and
-
(b) 730,700 Shares to Michael Smith,
or their respective nominees (together, the Related Party Participants ).
Each of the Resolutions which forms part of Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board (other than Messrs Banks and Smith who have a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of the Resolutions which forms part of Resolution 3.
5.2
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 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 Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
The Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. As the issue of the Director Placement Shares involves the issue of Shares to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Placement Shares will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
If each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares to the Related Party Participants in the proportions set out above in Section 5.1.
If each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares.
5.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares:
-
(a) the Director Placement Shares will be issued to Directors Matthew Banks and Michael Smith (or their respective nominees);
-
(b) pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.1, Mr Banks and Mr Smith are related parties by virtue of being Directors;
Page 14
-
(c) the maximum number of Director Placement Shares to be issued is 1,230,700 in the following proportions:
-
(i) 500,000 Placement Shares to Matthew Banks (or his nominee); and
-
(ii) 730,700 Placement Shares to Michael Smith (or his nominee);
-
(d) the Director Placement Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
-
(e) the Director Placement Shares will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting;
-
(f) the issue price will be $0.093 per Director Placement Share, being the same as all other Shares issued under the Placement;
-
(g) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement as set out in Section 3.3(e);
-
(h) there are no other material terms to the agreement by the Directors to subscribe for Director Placement Shares; and
-
(i) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
5.4 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 Director Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Shares because the Shares will be issued on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.
