Further information
If you have any queries in respect to any of the matters set out in this booklet, please contact the Company Secretary, Mr David Smith on (03) 9417 5368 (within Australia) and +61 3 9417 5368 (outside Australia).
1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of the issue of Shares - Placement
1.1 General
On 5 January 2021 ( Issue Date ), the Company issued 57,200,000 ordinary shares at $0.125 each ( Placement Shares ) to raise a total of $7,150,000 (before costs).
The funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares were used for the purposes set out below.
The Placement Shares were issued within the Company’s 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without the need for Shareholder approval.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
1.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company's shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
13
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 issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
To that end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
1.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, information regarding the issue of the Placement Shares is provided as follows:
| The names of the persons to whom the Company issued the securities: |
The Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors none of whom are related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. With the exception of the below, no one subscriber of Placement Shares was issued with more than 1% of the Company's current issued share capital. • VGI Partners Asian Investments Limited Fund was issued 40,000,000 Placement Shares 7.72% of current issued capital). |
|---|---|
| The number of securities issued: |
57,200,000 Shares (being the Placement Shares) were issued by the Company pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. |
| The date on which the securities were issued: |
The Placement Shares were issued by the Company on 5 January 2021. |
| The issue price: | The issue price was $0.125 per Placement Share, being $7,150,000 in total before costs. |
| The terms of the securities: |
The Placement Shares comprise fully paid ordinary shares of the Company ranking equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company. |
| The intended use of the funds raised: |
Funds from the Placement were used to fund SenSen's strategic business plan to accelerate revenue and enhance the Company's delivery capabilities to its global customers, especially in the USA. |
| If the securities were issued under an agreement, a summary of the material terms of the agreement: |
The Placement Shares were issued under placement agreements that detailed: • The price of each Placement Share; • The proposed issue date of each Placement Share. |
| Voting exclusion statement: |
A voting exclusion statement is contained in Resolution 1. |
1.4 Recommendation and voting requirements
The Directors recommend that Shareholders approve Resolution 1.
Resolution 1 of the General Meeting is an ordinary resolution and so requires the approval of more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders.
14
A voting exclusion statement is contained after the Resolution. Votes cast by Shareholders contrary to the voting exclusion statement will be disregarded.
The Chairman of the General Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
2. Resolution 2 – Ratification of the issue of Shares - consideration for SNAP acquisition
2.1 General
On 1 December 2020 ( Issue Date ), the Company issued 9,881,423 ordinary shares at a deemed price of $0.1012 each ( SNAP Shares ) being $1,000,000 in total. The SNAP Shares were issued as consideration for the acquisition of the business of Snap Network Surveillance Pty Ltd.
The SNAP Shares were issued within the Company’s 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without the need for Shareholder approval.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
2.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the SNAP Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company's shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
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 issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
To that end, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the SNAP Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the SNAP Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the SNAP Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
