Board Recommendation

The Board believes that Resolution 7 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour this Resolution.

Resolution 8: Replacement of Constitution

Background

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 8 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution (Proposed Constitution) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

As this resolution is a special resolution it 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).

This will incorporate the latest amendments to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.

The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Statement, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company's website www.stellarresources.com.au and at the registered office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary +61 3 9692 7222. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

Change Explanation of Change
General Update The proposed Replacement Constitution generally updates the variousprovisions in a variety of respects to reflect industry best practice in a form thatASX has provided no objections.
QuorumforGeneralMeetings The current requirement for the quorum of a general meeting is the number ofmembers holding not less than 5% of the votes that may be cast at a generalmeeting.
The Proposed Constitution's article 12.1 outlines the quorum requirements to becomprising two Shareholders present in person, by proxy, attorney orRepresentative.

Overview of material differences between existing Constitution and Replacement Constitution

Resolution 9: Approval of 10% Placement Facility

Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting (10% Placement Facility). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under 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 an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

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 (see below).

The Company continues actively seeking to enhance the value of its assets and new investments. Should the Company utilise the 10% Placement Facility, it intends to use the funds to either accelerate the work on its current projects, acquire new assets, or to meet additional working capital requirements.

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. This means it 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).

(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 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares, Quoted and Unquoted Options on issue.

(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 date of the Annual General Meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D)–E

  • A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
    • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
    • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
    • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
    • (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%
  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
  • (d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

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.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Annual General 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 Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders 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 9 will be to allow the Directors 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.

Resolution 9 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).

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) In the past twelve months the Company has not issued any Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
  • (b) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 trading days immediately before:
    • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
    • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
  • (c) If Resolution 9 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. Shareholders may be exposed to economic risk and voting dilution, including the following:
    • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General 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 market price of Shares as at 18 October 2019 (Current Share Price) and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • 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
  • two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

760,657,466 Shares Funds raised $494,427 $988,855 $1,977,709

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
  • No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised 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 as 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 Annual General Meeting.
  • The table shows only the effect of issues 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 Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
  • The Current Share Price is $0.013 (1.3 cents), being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 18 October 2019.
  • (d) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 9 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 the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
  • (e) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
    • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
    • (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued expenditure on the Company's current business and/or general working capital.
  • (f) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

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 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 issue or other issue 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 Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new businesses, assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new businesses, assets or investments.

(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of this Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in this Notice.

Resolution 10: Renewal of Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions in the Constitution

Background

Clause 22A of the Company's Constitution contains provisions dealing with shareholder approval requirements if there was to be any partial takeover bids for the Company's securities (Proportional Takeover Provisions).

A "Proportional Takeover Bid" means an off-market bid for a specified proportion of the Company's securities held by each shareholder in a class for which a takeover bid has been made. It is not a bid for all securities held by all members of that class, only part of the securities each member holds.

Part 6.5 Subdivision 5C of the Corporations Act provides that these Proportional Takeover Provisions cease to apply at the end of 3 years from their adoption (or last renewal), but that they may be renewed by special resolution of the members. The Board believes it is appropriate that the Proportional Takeover Provisions of the Company's Constitution (Clause 35) be renewed.

In seeking shareholder approval for the renewal of the Proportional Takeover Provisions, the Corporations Act requires the below information to be provided to members.

Resolution 10 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at this Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Effect of provisions proposed to be renewed

Clause 22A of the Constitution provides that the Company is prohibited from registering any transfer of shares giving effect to a contract of sale pursuant to a Proportional Takeover Bid unless and until after a resolution approving the Proportional Takeover Bid is passed by shareholders at a general meeting of the Company(Approving Resolution). The person making the offer for the securities (Bidder) (and their associates) cannot vote on the Approving Resolution and the Approving Resolution requires the approval of more than one half of members who are entitled to vote at that meeting.

Under the Corporations Act, the Directors must ensure that a resolution to approve the Proportional Takeover Bid is voted on at least 14 days before the last day of the bid period.

If the resolution to approve the Proportional Takeover Bid is not passed, transfers resulting from acceptances for the Proportional Takeover Bid will not be registered and the bid will be taken to have been withdrawn. However, the Corporations Act also provides that, if the meeting is not held within the time required, then a resolution to approve the Proportional Takeover Bid will be deemed to have been passed.

Reason for the resolution

Clause 22A of the Constitution is required to be renewed as more than 3 years have passed since the last renewal of the Constitution. Section 648(G)(1) of the Corporations Act provides that Proportional Bid Provisions such as provided in Clause 22A cease to apply at the end of 3 years from their adoption (or their last renewal). Section 648(G)(4) enables shareholders to approve a renewal of Proportional Takeover Provisions.

The Board believes that shareholders should continue to have the choice of considering whether to accept a bid for what might become control of the Company without the shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their securities (rather than just some of their securities, as would be the case under a Proportional Takeover Bid).

To preserve this choice, Clause 22A needs to be renewed. If Clause 22A is renewed and a Proportional Takeover Bid (if any) is subsequently approved by shareholders, each shareholder will still have the right to make a separate decision whether that shareholder wishes to accept the (Proportional Takeover) Bid for their own securities.

Awareness of current acquisition proposals

As at the date of these Explanatory Notes, none of the Directors are aware of any proposal for any person to acquire (or increase the extent of) a substantial interest in the Company.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Proportional Bid Provisions since last renewed

As there have been no takeover bids made for any of the shares in the Company since the last renewal of the Proportional Bid Provisions, there has been no application of Clause 22A. It may be argued that the potential advantages and disadvantages described below have also applied for the period since adoption of Clause 22A.

Potential advantages and disadvantages of the proposed resolution for both directors and shareholders

The renewal of Clause 22A will enable the Directors to ascertain the view of the shareholders on a Proportional Takeover Bid. The Directors consider that the Proportional Takeover Provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a Proportional Takeover Bid should be approved.

For Shareholders, the Directors consider the renewal of Clause 22A will provide all relevant holders with the opportunity to consider, discuss in a meeting called specifically for the purpose, and vote on whether a Proportional Takeover Bid should be approved. This affords shareholders an opportunity to have a say in the future ownership and control of the Company and help shareholders to avoid being locked into a minority, or having less opportunity in the future to sell their shares in the Company at a price that is considered attracted to the shareholder (because of the presence of a majority shareholder). The Directors believe this will encourage any Proportional Takeover Bid to be structured so as to be attractive to at least a majority of the relevant shareholders. It may also discourage the making of a Proportional Takeover Bid that might be considered opportunistic. Finally, knowing the view of the majority of shareholders may help each individual shareholder to assess the likely outcome of the Proportional Takeover Bid and decide whether or not to accept an offer under the bid.

On the other hand, it may be argued that the renewal of Clause 22A may make Proportional Takeover Bids more difficult to succeed and therefore effectively discourage Proportional Takeover Bids being made and reduce the freedom for shareholders to sell some of their securities. Where a Proportional Takeover Bid is made, shareholders may be denied an opportunity to sell a portion of their shares at an attractive price where the majority rejects the bid.

Board Recommendation

Balancing the above advantages and disadvantages, the Board is of the view that the advantages of renewing the Proportional Takeover Provisions outweigh the disadvantages and unanimously recommend the renewal. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought pursuant to this resolution. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.
