EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Resolution 1: Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares and Options

Background

The Company is seeking shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 60,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) in the Company at an issue price of $0.009 (0.9 cents) per share and a total of 30,000,000 free attaching unlisted options (Options) exercisable at $0.015 (1.5 cents) per option completed on 24 December 2019. The options were issued on a one (1) for two (2) basis being one free attaching option for each two shares subscribed for, expiring on 24 December 2022, in accordance with the ASX announcements dated 24 December 2019. The full terms of the Options are set out in Annexure A.

ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A allow the Company to issue new securities up to 25% of the existing capital of the Company in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders, unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 applies. The issue of the Shares and Options under the Placement was within the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 an issue of securities will be treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A at the time and shareholders subsequently approve it. The issue of the Shares and Options was within the Company's ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacity and the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is approved, the prior issue of the 60,000,000 Shares and 30,000,000 Options under the Placement may be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The Company will therefore be able to issue additional equity securities without the Shares and Options the subject of Resolution 1, counting towards the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or the 10% facility limit for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

  • (a) the Shares and Options were issued to sophisticated investors through Taylor Collison who were appointed as the Lead Manager of the placement completed during December 2019;
  • (b) the number of Shares and Options allotted and issued was 60,000,000 Shares and 30,000,000 Options in the Company;
  • (c) the Shares and Options were not issued under an agreement;
  • (d) the Shares were issued at a price of $0.009 (0.9 cents) per Share and the Options were issued at a Nil issues price;
  • (e) the Shares rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue in the Company and the Options upon exercise will rank equally in all respects with existing shares;
  • (f) the Options were issued on a one (1) for two (2) basis being one free attaching Option for each two shares subscribed for;
  • (g) the Options, immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of $0.015 (1.5 cents) per Option, entitle the holder to receive one Share on exercise of one Option and expire on 24 December 2022;
  • (h) the Shares and Options were issued on 24 December 2019; and
  • (i) the funds raised from the issue of the Shares will be used for general working capital requirements of the Company.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution to ratify the prior issue of 60,000,000 Shares and 30,000,000 Options as described above. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution 1.

Resolution 2: Ratification of Prior Issue of Options

The full terms of the Options are set out in Annexure A.

The 5,000,000 unlisted options were issued without shareholder approval under the Company's 15% placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that a company may reinstate its capacity to issue up to 15% of the ordinary securities on issue in a 12 month period if shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

  • (a) the Options were issued to Taylor Collison as payment for broker services provided for undertaking the placement completed on 24 December 2019;
  • (b) the total number of unlisted Options in the Company that were issued is 5,000,000;
  • (c) the Options were issued at a Nil issue price;
  • (d) the Options were not issued under an agreement:

Resolution 3: Approval of Non-Executive Director Share Rights Plan

Background

Shareholders are being asked to approve the grant of Share Rights (Rights) in for a period of three years commencing January 2020 to Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) under the Stellar Resources Limited (SRZ) Non-Executive Director Share Rights Plan (NEDSP) for the allocation of SRZ shares (Shares) on exercise of those Rights.

Following a review by the Company's existing remuneration arrangements for its Non-Executive Directors, the Board has recommended that annual remuneration paid to NEDs may be delivered in cash and/or equity, subject to shareholder approval as required. The proposed NEDSP is intended to support NEDs to develop a meaningful shareholding in the Company and as a means of aligning the interests of NEDs and shareholders generally through the diversion of current and future cash remuneration to equity. In addition it will assist the Company in implementing its cost reduction strategies and maintain its cash reserves.

There is no current intention to increase the total limit of current director remuneration pool. However, the NEDSP will facilitate delivery of increased remuneration (within the NED remuneration limit) when it becomes justified.

The key element of the NEDSP for current NEDs is that it provides the opportunity for NEDs to sacrifice part or all of their cash fees in favour of equity rights under this plan to build their shareholding in the Company. The introduction of the NEDSP is also intended to remunerate individual NEDs for any material additional efforts that individual NEDs are required to deliver in progressing the Company's goals.

The NEDSP does not attach any performance measures to vesting. This is in line with best practice governance standards which recommend that non-executive directors generally should not receive equity with performance hurdles attached as it may lead to bias in decision-making and compromise their objectivity and in turn their independence.

Why is approval required?

ASX Listing Rules 10.14 requires shareholders to approve any acquisition of securities by a Director under an employee incentive scheme (which is defined by the ASX listing rules to include schemes for the benefit of nonexecutive directors). Approval would not be required if the Shares to be acquired by NEDs under the NEDSP are purchased on-market. However, the Company intends to issue new Shares to NEDs upon exercise of Rights under the NEDSP to minimize the cash outflows for the Company and therefore seeks shareholder approval to do so.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires shareholders to approve the issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the entity during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period. However, separate approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.14.

How does the NEDSP operate?

The NEDSP is a salary sacrifice plan pursuant to which NEDs may elect to sacrifice up to 100% of their annual NEDs fees to acquire Rights. Each Right is a right to be allocated (on exercise) one fully-paid ordinary Share in the Company, subject to the terms of the grant.

Each NED will be provided with the number of Rights in the Company equal to the amount of fees sacrificed by the Non-Executive Director in the relevant period, divided by the volume weighted average price of SRZ Shares on the ASX for the thirty trading days preceding the grant date.

Rights are issued or granted on a six monthly basis and do not carry dividend or voting rights.

Rights are not subject to performance conditions, which is consistent with best practice governance standards, which recommend that NEDs should not be granted equity with performance hurdles attached, as it may compromise their independence and lead to bias in their decision making.

Rights are subject to a service condition that is attached to the vesting of the Rights with the Rights vesting on the date specified by the Board in the invitation to participate in respect of the particular period.

When Rights are exercised, the Company will issue Shares to the NED, which rank equally with other ordinary shares already on issue (including in respect of dividends and voting). The Board has discretion to apply restrictions on dealing in respect of those Shares (including in respect of holding or disposal).

Rights that are not exercised will lapse on the date that is 15 years from the relevant grant date, or any other date determined by the Board (Expiry Date).

If at any time the Board determines that the allocation of Rights (or Shares) would result in the Company breaching its Constitution, ASX Listing Rules, the Company's Securities Trading Policy or is otherwise inappropriate, the Board may defer the allocation of Rights or Shares until a more suitable time or pay cash in lieu of the same.

Upon retirement from the Board, NEDs are entitled to retain any vested Rights may be exercised for SRZ Shares. Any unvested Rights will lapse.

Who is eligible to participate?

The NEDs entitled to participate in the NEDSP are Gary Fietz, Simon O'Loughlin, Simon Taylor and Thomas Whiting. Approval for these participants is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1, each being Directors of the Company.

The Company will seek further approval if it intends for any other NED to participate in the NEDSP.

How many securities will be issued under the NEDSP?

The maximum number of securities to be acquired by current NEDs under the 3 year period commencing January 2020, grants cannot be confirmed at this stage and will depend on the following factors including:

  • The Company's share price at the time of each allocation of Share Rights;
  • the number of NEDs in office from time to time;
  • the portion of fees sacrificed by each NED in relation to each grant; and
  • the level of fees paid to NEDs from time to time.

However based on the current factors as outlined above the maximum amount of securities to be issued under the NEDSP is 47,000,000 based on the following calculations:

(A/B) x C

Where:

  • A Total Current Annual NED Fees
  • B Estimated Floor Price (calculated using a 30 day VWAP at 7 April 2020 being A$0.008)

C Three being the Three Year Period of the NEDSP until refreshment is required under the ASX Listing Rules.

This is the first time the NED Share Plan has been put to shareholders for approval and therefore no NED has previously received securities under the NEDSP.

All NEDs in office from time to time may participate in the NED Share Plan. No current or future Executive Director is eligible to participate.

Additional Information required for LR 10.15

The following disclosures are made for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15:

  • (a) the securities issued under the NEDSP are Share Rights.

    • (iii) assist the Company in implementing its cost reduction strategies and maintain its cash reserves.

    • (iv) upon retirement from the Board, NEDs are entitled to retain any vested Share Rights that may be exercised for Shares. Any unvested Share Rights will lapse.

    • (D) in the event of a reduction of the share capital of the Company by a cancellation of paid up capital that is lost or not represented by available assets where no securities are cancelled the number of Options and the exercise price of each Option will remain unaltered;
    • (E) in the event of a pro-rata cancellation of shares in the Company, the number of Options will be reduced in the same ratio as the ordinary share capital of the Company and the exercise price of each Option will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio; and
    • (F) in the event of any other reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company, the number of Options or the exercise price or both will be reorganised (as appropriate) in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on the Option holder which are not conferred on shareholders.

(f) Adjustments to Options and Exercise Price

  • (i) Adjustments to the number of Shares over which Options exist and/or the exercise price may be made as described in paragraph (f)(ii) to take account of changes to the capital structure of the Company by way of prorata bonus and cash issues.
  • (ii) The method of adjustment for the purpose of paragraph (f)(i) shall be in accordance with the Listing Rules of the ASX from time to time, which, under Listing Rules 6.22.2 and 6.22.3, currently provide:
    • (A) Pro Rata Cash Issues

Where a pro-rata issue is made (except a bonus issue) to the holders of underlying securities, the exercise price of an Option may be reduced according to the following formula:

$$ O' = \frac{O - E[P-(S+D)]}{N + 1} $$

where:

  • O' = the new exercise price of the Option.
  • O = the old exercise price of the Option.
  • E = the number of underlying securities into which one Option is Exercisable.
  • P = the average market price per security (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying securities during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.
  • S = the subscription price for a security under the pro-rata issue.
  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying securities (except those to be issued under the pro-rata issue).
  • N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security.
    • (B) Pro-Rata Bonus Issues

If there is a bonus issue to the holders of the underlying securities, on the exercise of any Options, the number of Shares received will include the number of bonus Shares that would have been issued if the Options had been exercised prior to the record date for bonus issues. The exercise price will not change.

If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company.

(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an "Appointment of Corporate Representative" prior to admission.
