Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting- Explanatory Notes

These Explanatory Notes have been prepared to provide members with sufficient information to assess the merits of the resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of the Company (Notice) concerning the meeting to be held at 11,00 am on 10 April 2013 at Money3, First Floor, 40 Graduate Road, Bundoora Vic 3083

1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of the issue of shares to professional and sophisticated investors under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A in November 2012

Introduction

In November 2012, the Company issued 11,250,000 fully paid ordinary shares (Placement Shares) to professional and sophisticated investors as part of a private placement. Of those placement shares:

  • 7,491,149 were issued without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • 3,758,851 were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (being the 'Additional Placement Capital' approved by Shareholders at the 2012 Annual General Meeting).

As announced in the Appendix 3B dated 22 November 2012, the Company's remaining issue capacity is:

(a) ASX Listing rule 7.1 - Nil
(b) ASX Listing rule 7.1A - 1,235,248 (noting that prior to the issue of the Placement Shares the Company had the capacity to issue up to 4,994,099 shares under the Additional Placement Capital facility).

This resolution seeks to ratify the issue of the entire Placement Shares.

Purpose of resolution and listing rule 7.1 and 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue more than 15% of its issued capital in a 12 month period without shareholder approval (15% Limit), unless an exception applies.

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without shareholder approval is deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provided that the issue did not breach the 15% Limit and the company at a general meeting subsequently approves the issue.

At the 2012 Annual General Meeting (Resolution 5), the Company obtained Shareholder approval to issue up to 10% of its issued capital in addition to the 15% Limit available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (Additional Placement Capital). ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Company to seek subsequent approval for any shares issued under the Additional Placement Capital facility. The effect of this Resolution, if passed, will allow the Company to issue a further 10% of its issued capital under the Additional Placement Capital facility until the facility expires on 14 November 2012, being 12 months from the date the facility was approved by the Shareholders at the 2012 Annual General Meeting.

Shareholder ratification for the issue of the Placement Shares is now sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, to reinstate the Company's capacity to issue:

(a) up to 15% of its issued capital, if required, in the next 12 months without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and


money3

(b) up a further 10% of its issued capital, if required between now and 14 November 2013 (being the facility expiry date) without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Notice requirements under listing rule 7.5

It is a requirement of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, that a listed entity seeking subsequent shareholder approval under listing rule 7.4 provide with the following information to Shareholders:

(a) the total number of shares issued was 11,250,000;
(b) the price at which the securities were issued was $0.40;
(c) the terms and conditions of the Shares allotted and issued are identical to the Company's existing fully paid ordinary Shares;
(d) the shares were issued to sophisticated and institutional customers of Investor First Pty Ltd
(e) funds raised from the Placement were used for working capital and the expansion of the Company's branch network and Auto Finance Division.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2. Proxy and Further Information

The Board of Directors are not aware of any other information which is relevant to the consideration by members of the proposed resolutions which are detailed in the Notice.

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), a person's entitlement to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person according to the Register of Members at 7:00pm on 8th April 2013.

A member who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies, and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.
