EXPLANATORY NOTES, COMMENTARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This information forms part of the Notice of Meeting.

1. BACKGROUND TO THE SHARE ISSUES

1.1 Issue of Shares to purchase remaining 33% of Norse Exploration Pty Ltd

(a) Background

As on 30 November 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,400,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.15 per Share as consideration for the acquisition of the remaining 33% interest in Norse Exploration Pty Ltd (Norse) that the Company does not own, from Finnish, British and Swedish vendors. The aggregate value of the Shares issued for the purposes of this acquisition that is implied by issue price is $1,260,000. Sakumpu Exploration Oy (Sakumpu) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norse and, as a result:

  • the Company is now the sole owner of all of the tenements and prospects owned by Sakumpu; and
  • the Company will be the sole benefactor of any future exploration success in relation to those tenements and prospects in Sweden and Finland.
  • (b) Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification:

  • 8,400,000 Shares were issued.
  • The issue price was $0.15 per Share.
  • The Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares.

The Shares were issued to the following persons (none of whom are related parties of the Company) in the following quantities:

Name Number of Shares
James Coppard 2,100,000
Graham Brown 2,100,000
Alain Chevalier 2,100,000
Bo Langbacka 2,100,000

• No cash proceeds were received from the issue. However, as noted above, the Shares were issued as consideration for the acquisition of the remaining 33% of Norse, and, as a result, the Company now owns 100% of Norse (and therefore Sakumpu).

1.2 Issue of Shares pursuant to the Placement

(a) Introduction

As announced on 26 July 2016, the Company has completed a placement of 22,700,000 Shares to professional, sophisticated and other institutional investors, raising approximately $9.1 million. The issue price pursuant to the Placement was $0.40 per Share and the Placement was within the Company's 15% capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company also announced a share purchase plan on 26 July 2016 to raise up to $3 million (SPP).

The net proceeds from the Placement and SPP will be used:

  • to accelerate S2's ongoing exploration activities; and
  • for general corporate purposes; and
  • for ongoing working capital requirements and to pay the transaction costs associated with the Placement and SPP.
  • (b) Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification:

  • 22,700,000 Shares were issued.
  • The issue price was $0.40 per Share.
  • The Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares.
  • The capital raising Shares were issued to domestic and international professional, sophisticated and other institutional investors (consisting of both existing and new Shareholders). None of the placees are or were related parties of the Company.
  • The funds raised from this issue have been and will be used for:
    • ongoing exploration activities; and
    • general working capital and corporate purposes.

2. REASON FOR THE RESOLUTIONS

The Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the Share issues described in paragraph 1.

The reason for seeking ratification is broadly as follows:

  • ASX 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.
  • ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies a previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did

not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

As such, by ratifying the issues the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2, the Company will retain the flexibility to use securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. Put another way, if the Resolutions are passed, the Company will not need to include the Shares issued to acquire the remaining 33% interest in Norse, or the Shares issued pursuant to the Placement, when calculating how many Shares it has already issued for the purposes of the 15% threshold.

The Company considers it important to retain the flexibility to issue Shares for the purposes of either raising capital quickly, or as consideration for an acquisition, should either become necessary or desirable in the prevailing circumstances. Whether or not Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, any future share issue will remain subject the 15% threshold in Listing Rule 7.1, unless Shareholders approve additional placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A or an exemption in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 applies.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company notes that the Shares to be issued pursuant to the SPP will not count towards its placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, as that issue will satisfy Exception 15 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

3. BOARD RECOMMENDATION

The Board believes that Resolutions 1 and 2 are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions.
