Financial Statements and Reports
The Annual Report, Financial Statements and the reports of the Directors and the auditor for the year ended 30 June 2014 will be laid before the meeting. There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve those reports.
Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report contained in the Directors' Report is set out in the Company's 2014 Annual Report. The vote is advisory only and the outcome will not be binding on the Directors or the Company. Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
The persons excluded from voting on this report are the directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly ("Key Management Personnel"). The Remuneration Report identifies the Company's Key Management Personnel for the financial vear to 30 June 2014. In addition, closely related parties of Key Management Personnel are excluded from voting, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.
Any undirected proxies held by the Chairman of the meeting, other directors or other key management personnel or any of their closely related parties will not be voted on Item 1 (Remuneration Report).
The Board unanimously recommends that members vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 2: Re-election of a director David Smith
Resolution 2 relates to the re-election of David Smith as a director of the Company. Under the Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, one-third of the Company's Directors must resign and, if eligible, may be re-elected. David Smith retires by rotation and being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.
Mr Smith is Executive Director and Company Secretary of Orpheus Energy Limited. He was a co-founder of the Company and has served as a Director since its inception. Mr Smith was previously an investment banker of 15 years' experience, and was most recently at BBY Limited until 2011, where he was Head Equity Capital Markets and a member of the group's Executive and Risk Management Committees. Prior to BBY he worked at JPMorgan Chase and Ord Minnett.
With an extensive background in advising companies across all sectors, but particularly in resources, Mr Smith was a founder and former Executive Director of ASX listed coal company Coalworks Limited, which was acquired by Whitehaven Coal for ~$200m in June 2012.
Mr Smith is also a Non-Executive Director of Raw Capital Partners Holdings Limited, a Guernsey based, boutique international Asset Management business. He is also a founder and Director of a number of private companies in the property, recruitment and jewellery sectors with a focus on new technology and e-commerce.
The Board unanimously recommends that members vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 3: Approval of conversion of Directors' debt into equity
Resolution 3 relates to the approval of conversion of outstanding unsecured debt owed to Orpheus Directors into 18,000,000 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares at $0.03 cents per Share, as detailed in the table below.
| Director | Loan Amount | New Shares to beIssued (@ $0.03) |
|---|---|---|
| Wayne Mitchell | $225,000 | 7,566,666 |
| David Smith | $225,000 | 7,566,666 |
| Wesley Harder | $45,000 | 1,433,334 |
| Mike Rhodes | $45,000 | 1,433,334 |
| TOTAL | $540,000 | 18,000,000 |
As announced in the June Quarterly Activities Report, and also in the Company's Half-Year Report, Orpheus Directors provided loans in the sum of $450,000 for working capital cover during the period of the Indonesian asset sales process. Additionally, in early September, Directors provided a further $70,000 in loans to the Company. Therefore, the total outstanding loans to Directors, including applicable discounted interest will be $540,000 as at the date of the Company's AGM, to be held on Friday 7 November 2014.
If approved, the conversion will result in the extinguishment of this debt, that otherwise would have to be repaid on receipt of funds from the recently shareholder approved Indonesian asset sales. This will reduce the Company's overall debt to $728,000, and furthermore, allow the Company to more readily direct all resources to growing Orpheus through carefully identifying and transacting on new value-adding projects. It will also further strengthen the alignment of Directors with all shareholders as their individual equity levels in the Company will increase as a result of the debt conversion. Overall dilution to shareholders on a fully diluted basis will be $~11.98%$ . The table below details the resultant increase in Directors' beneficial equity in the Company if the Resolution is approved.
| Director | Total Shares | Total Shares | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pre-conversion | post-conversion | |||
| Wayne Mitchell | 5,424,157 | 12,990,823 | ||
| David Smith | 22,524,015 | 30,090,681 | ||
| Wesley Harder | 1,701,243 | 3,134,577 | ||
| Mike Rhodes | 70,000 | 1,503,334 | ||
| TOTAL | 29,719,415 | 47,710,415 |
The pricing of the shares proposed to be issued is at a premium to the 90 day, 30 day and 10 day Volume Weighted Average Prices (VWAP) of OEG shares traded on the ASX up to the day prior to the release of this Notice of Meeting:
| 90 day | 0.0287 |
|---|---|
| 30 day | 0.0285 |
| 10 day | 0.0258 |
Following approval of this resolution by shareholders it is intended to issue these shares on Monday 10 November 2014.
