4. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTORS
- 4.1 General
On 11 February 2009, the Company announced that it would place 8,500,000 shares at an offer price of 12 cents per share to Related Parties and other sophisticated parties (February Placement).
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 2,150,000 Shares to Messrs Richard Siemens and Steven Apedaile (Related Parties) under the February Placement and on the terms and conditions set out below.
6
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 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.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also 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 ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
The grant of the Shares to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the grant of Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and as Directors, Messrs Richard Siemens and Steven Apedaile are related parties of the Company.
It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Shares to the Related Parties.
4.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Shares:
-
(a) the related parties are Messrs Richard Siemens and Steven Apedaile and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:
-
(i) 1,500,000 Shares to Richard Siemens; and
-
(ii) 650,000 Shares to Steven Apedaile;
-
(c) the Shares will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on one date;
-
(d) the Shares will be issued for $0.12 each under the terms of the February Placement and the Company intends to use the funds for working capital purposes;
-
(e) the 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;
-
(f) the Related Parties loaned the Company $258,000 in February 2009. If this Resolution is approved, the Related Parties will be issued 2,150,000 Shares at $0.12 per Share. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will repay the loans to the Related Parties plus interest at 8.25% per annum.

(j) Richard Siemens declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form
-
A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.
-
A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
-
Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:
-
2 directors of the company;
-
a director and a company secretary of the company; or
-
for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.
For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
-
Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.
-
Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
