The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so.
4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2024 in the 2024 Annual Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.
Section 250R(3) of Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
However, the Corporations Act also gives Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board, except the managing director (if any), if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings (Two Strikes Rule).
Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a strike or 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
At the Company's 2023 annual general meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, a further resolution relating to the Two Strikes Rule is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
If the Remuneration Report receives a strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second strike is received at the 2025 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
Given the personal interests of all Directors in the outcome of this Resolution, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention.
5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Bruce Lane
Clause 6.3(c) of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 both require that if the Company has three or more Directors, one third of the Directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number) must retire at each annual general meeting.
The Directors to retire are those who have held office as Director the longest period of time since their last election or appointment to that office. A Director who retires under clause 6.3(c) is eligible for re-election.
Clause 6.3(c) does not apply to the managing director of the Company.
The Company currently has three Directors and accordingly one must retire.
Mr Bruce Lane will retire in accordance with clause 6.3(c) of the Constitution and being eligible, seeks re-election.
Mr Lane was appointed Chair of the Company in 2020. He has held leadership roles with a number of ASX-listed companies and significant blue-chip companies in Europe and Australasia. He is currently executive director of GTI Energy Limited (ASX: GTR).
Mr Lane does not currently hold any other material directorships, other than as disclosed in this Notice.
If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Lane will be re-elected as a Director of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the Meeting.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Lane will not be re-elected as a Director of the Company.
If elected, the Board considers Mr Lane to be an independent Director as he is not a member of management and is free of any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board.
Mr Lane has acknowledged to the Company that he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director.
The Board (excluding Mr Bruce Lane who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution) supports the re-election of Mr Lane and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
The Board considers that Mr Lane's extensive experience in leadership of listed companies brings valuable skills to the Board that complement the Board's existing skills and experience.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of issued share capital through placements commencing from the date of the Meeting where the Company obtains the approval until the earlier of the following:
- (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting at which the approval is obtained;
- (b) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or
- (c) the time and date of the approval of Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2 in respect of the Company,
(10% Placement Facility).
The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to provide the Company with the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) below).
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval in Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 and currently has a market capitalisation of $4,612,990 based on the closing price of Shares of $0.07 on 11 October 2024, and therefore is an eligible entity.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer Section 6.2(c) below).
Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 3 for it to be passed.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, being Shares (ASX: SSH).
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Where:
- A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
- (A) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than Exception 9,16 or 17;
- (B) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 where:
- (1) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
- (2) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
- (C) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 16 where:
- (1) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
- (2) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
- (D) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
- (E) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;
- (F) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the relevant period.
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity, and 'Relevant Period' has the relevant meaning given in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.2, namely, the 12 month-period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.
- D is 10%.
- E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4.
(d) Interaction with Listing Rule 7.1
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per Equity Security with is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
- (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued (Minimum Issue Price).
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting at which the approval is obtained;
- (ii) the time and date of the entity's next annual general meeting; or
- (iii) the time and date of the approval by shareholders of the eligible entity's ordinary securities of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
(10% Placement Period).
Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) on the Resolution.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) above).
-
(b) The Equity Securities will be issued for cash consideration only at an issue price of not less than the Minimum Issue Price (refer to Section 6.2(e) above).
-
(c) The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the purposes of raising funds for continued investment in the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and/or for general working capital.
-
(d) If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than of the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) (see Section 6.2(c) above) as at the date of this Notice (in the case of convertible securities only if those convertible securities are converted into Shares), with:
- (i) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
- (ii) two examples of where the issue price or ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

- No convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;
-
- The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example at 10%. The table does not show
an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
- The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlement issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.
-
- The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
- The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
- The issue price is the current market price of $0.07, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 11 October 2024, being the latest practicable date before this Notice was finalised.
- (e) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
- (f) The Company can only issue Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets, business development or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued operations and general working capital.
- (g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under the Listing Rule 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.
- (h) The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of the Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
- (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
- (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
- (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new investors who are not Related Parties or associates of a Related Party of the Company.
- (i) The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 23 November 2023. In the 12 months preceding the date of the 2024 Annual General Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company did not issue any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
- (j) For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 14.1A (and in addition to the disclosure in clause 6.4(c) above):
- (i) if Resolution 3 is passed, the Directors will be able to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
- (ii) if Resolution 3 is not passed, the Directors will not be able to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will have to either rely on the
Company's existing 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (from time to time), or (in the event that the Company's 15% placement capacity is exhausted) the Company will be required to obtain prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 before being able to issue such Equity Securities (which may result in the Company incurring further time and expense).
At the date of the Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of Equity Securities.
However, in the event that between the date of this Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Directors of the Company believe Resolution 3 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
7. Resolution 4 – Renewal of Proportional Takeover
General
Schedule 5 of the Constitution provide that the Company must not register a transfer of shares which would give effect to a contract, resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under a proportional takeover bid unless shareholders, in a general meeting, approve the offer.
Under section 648G of the Corporations Act and Schedule 5 of the Constitution, Schedule 5 of the Constitution cease to have effect on the date that is three (3) years after the later of their adoption or renewal.
Resolution 4 seeks to reinstate the provisions of Schedule 5 of the Constitution for three (3) years from the date Shareholder approval is received for this Resolution.
The Directors consider that it is in the interests of Shareholders for the Company to include a proportional takeover rule and approval is therefore being sought to renew Schedule 5 of the Constitution.
A copy of the Constitution is available via the ASX website at https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924- 02421824-6A1050445&v=fc9bdb61fe50ea61f8225e24ce041a0e155a9400.
What is a Proportional Takeover Bid
A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder of a company is only for a proportion of that shareholder's shares in the company.
Accordingly, if a shareholder accepts in full the offer under a proportional takeover bid, the shareholder will dispose of the specified portion of their shares in the company and retain the balance of the shares.
Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions
If a proportional takeover bid is made to Shareholders, the Board will be required to convene a meeting of Shareholders to vote on a resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid. That meeting must be held at least 14 days before the offer under the proportional takeover bid closes.
The resolution shall be taken to have been passed if a majority of Shares voted at the meeting, excluding the Shares of the bidder and its associates, vote in favour of the resolution. The Directors will breach the Corporations Act if they fail to ensure the resolution to approve the offer is voted on. However, if no resolution is voted on before the end of the 15th day before the close of the offer, the resolution will be deemed to have been passed. Where the resolution approving the offer is passed or deemed to have been passed, transfers of Shares resulting from accepting the offer will be registered provided they otherwise comply with the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the Constitution. If the resolution is not approved, then in accordance with the Corporations Act, the offer will be deemed to be withdrawn.
The proportional takeover approval provisions do not apply to full takeover bids and only apply for three years after the date of adoption of the provisions. The provisions may be renewed for a further three-year term, but only by a special resolution of Shareholders.
Reasons for proposing Resolution 4
A proportional takeover bid for the Company may enable effective control of the Company to be changed or acquired without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their Shares. Accordingly, Shareholders could be at risk of passing control to the bidder without payment of an adequate control premium for all their Shares whilst leaving themselves as part of a minority interest in the Company.
The renewed provisions deal with this possibility by providing that if a proportional takeover bid is made for Shares, Shareholders must vote on whether or not a proportional takeover bid should be permitted to proceed.
The benefit of these provisions is that Shareholders are able to decide collectively whether the proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle and it may ensure that any partial offer is appropriately priced.
Knowledge of present acquisition proposals
As at the last date before the finalisation of this Explanatory Memorandum, no Director is aware of a proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
Potential advantages of proportional takeover provisions
The Directors consider that the renewal of these provisions has no potential advantages or potential disadvantages for them as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a proportional takeover offer should be accepted.
The Directors consider that renewing the proportional takeover approval provisions will benefit all Shareholders in that they will have an opportunity to consider a proportional takeover bid and then attend or be represented by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders called specifically to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, Shareholders will be able to prevent a proportional takeover bid proceeding if there is sufficient support for the proposition that control of the Company should not be permitted to pass under the proportional takeover bid. The provisions may also help Shareholders avoid being locked in as a minority with one majority Shareholder. In addition, increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders may ensure that any partial offer is adequately priced. Furthermore, knowing the view of Shareholders assists each individual Shareholder in assessing the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid and whether to accept or reject that bid.
Potential disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions
It may be argued that renewing the proportional takeover provisions will make it more difficult for a proportional takeover bid to succeed and will therefore discourage proportional takeover bids. The chance of a proportional takeover bid being successful may be reduced. In turn, this may reduce the opportunities which Shareholders may have to sell all or some of their Shares at a premium to persons seeking control of the Company. Such a provision may also be considered an additional restriction on the ability of individual Shareholders to deal freely in their Shares.
Additional information
On balance, the Directors consider that the possible advantages outweigh the possible disadvantages such that the renewal of the proportional takeover approval provisions is in the interests of Shareholders.
The Board recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. Each Director intends to vote all the Shares controlled by him or her in favour of the Resolution.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative.
