SUPPLEMENT ARY EXPL ANATORY ST ATEMENT
The Explanatory Statement is supplemented by including the following Section:
RESOLUTIONS 10 to 12: ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES
General
The Company disclosed in the Prospectus in relation to the SPP Offer (Prospectus), the intention of Messrs Simon O'Loughlin, Thomas Whiting and Simon Taylor (each a Director) to participate in the SPP, as follows:
- (a) Mr Simon O'Loughlin intended to participate in the SPP to the amount of $15,000 and on that basis would be issued 1,000,000 Shares and 500,000 Options;
- (b) Mr Thomas Whiting intended to participate in the SPP to the amount of $30,000 and on that basis would be issued 2,000,000 Shares and 1,000,000 Options; and
- (c) Mr Simon Taylor intended to participate in the SPP to the amount of $30,000 and on that basis would be issued 2,000,000 Shares and 1,000,000 Options.
The Company announced on 28 September 2022 that the Directors participated in the SPP to the amount of $75,000 (being the full amount stated in the Prospectus) and the Company issued a total of 5,000,000 Shares to Messrs O'Loughlin, Whiting and Taylor on 30 September 2022.
Pursuant to the terms of the SPP disclosed in the Prospectus, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, the Company is proposing to issue a total of 2,500,000 freeattaching options (Director SPP Options) to Messrs O'Loughlin, Whiting and Taylor (or their nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolutions 10 to 12 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director SPP Options to Messrs O'Loughlin, Whiting and Taylor (or their nominee).
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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.
The issue of Director SPP Options to Messrs O'Loughlin, Whiting and Taylor (or their nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs O'Loughlin, Whiting and Taylor are a related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of the Director SPP Options because the financial benefit given to the Directors, by virtue of their participation in the SPP, is given in their capacity as Shareholders and the giving of the benefit does not discriminate unfairly against the other Shareholders, as all Shareholders were provided with the opportunity to participate in the SPP. Shareholder approval is therefore not required in accordance with the exception in section 215 of the Corporations Act.
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
- 10.11.1 a related party;
- 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
- 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
- 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
- 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Director SPP Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. The Company applied for a waiver from Listing Rule 10.11 to allow the Directors of the Company (or their respective nominees) to be issued SPP Options without prior Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11, on the basis that the Directors are participating in the SPP on the same terms as unrelated party eligible Shareholders. ASX did not grant a waiver and the Company therefore now requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 10 to 12 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director SPP Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 10 to 12 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director SPP Options to Messrs O'Loughlin, Whiting and Taylor within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director SPP Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director SPP Options will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 10 to 12 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director SPP Options.
Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 10 to 12:
- (a) the Director SPP Options will be issued as follows:
- (i) 500,000 Director SPP Options to Mr Simon O'Loughlin (or their nominee);
- (ii) 1,000,000 Director SPP Options to Mr Thomas Whiting (or their nominee); and
- (iii) 1,000,000 Director SPP Options to Mr Simon Taylor (or their nominee),
(or their nominee), each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Messrs O'Loughlin, Whiting and Taylor are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;
- (b) the maximum number of Director SPP Options to be issued is 2,500,000;
- (c) the terms and conditions of the Director SPP Options are the same as the terms and conditions of the Attaching SPP Options, which are set out in Schedule 1 within the Notice;
- (d) the Director SPP Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Director SPP Options will occur on the same date;
- (e) the issue price of the Director SPP Options will be nil, as they are free attaching Options issued in connection with the SPP. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Director SPP Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Director SPP Options);
- (f) the purpose of the issue of the Director SPP Options is to allow the Messrs O'Loughlin, Whiting and Taylor to participate in the SPP on the same terms as all other Shareholders who participated in the SPP, in accordance with the terms of the SPP Offer (as stated in the Prospectus);
- (g) the Director SPP Options are not being issued under an agreement; and
- (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 10 to 12 of the Notice.
Other information
Shareholders should however note that, by virtue of the inclusion of the Additional Resolutions, the number of Attaching SPP Options (as defined in the Notice) will be reduced by the amount of Director SPP Options (as defined in this Addendum) proposed to be issued pursuant to the Additional Resolutions.
