Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement is provided to the shareholders of Strike Resources Limited (Strike or the Company) pursuant to and in satisfaction of the Corporations Act (Cth) 2001 (Corporations Act) and the Listing Rules of ASX Limited (ASX). This Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
1. Annual Reports
Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Directors of the Company to table before the AGM the Directors' Report, Financial Report and the Auditor's Report for the last financial year which ended before the AGM. Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make statements in relation to these Reports, but no resolution to adopt the Reports will be put to shareholders at the AGM.
The Company's 2010 Annual Report will have been sent to those shareholders who have elected to receive a printed or emailed version. Otherwise, an electronic version of the 2010 Annual Report may be obtained from the Company's website: www.strikeresources.com.au or emailed to shareholders who send a request to [email protected].
2. Resolution 1 – Re-Election of Hem Shanker Madan as Director
Resolution 1 seeks the re-election of Chairman of the Board, Hem Shanker Madan, as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
The Company's Constitution requires any Director appointed by the Board since the last AGM, other than the Managing Director, to stand for election at the next AGM. Mr Madan retired as Managing Director effective on 24 March 2010 and was appointed by the Board as a Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Board effective on that date.
Mr Madan retires as a Non-Executive Director at the AGM under this rule. However, being eligible, he has offered himself for re-election as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr Madan served as Managing Director of the Company from 26 September 2005 until 23 March 2010. Mr Madan's qualifications and experience are detailed in the Directors' Report in the Company's 2010 Annual Report.
3. Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Malcolm Ross Richmond as Director
Resolution 2 seeks the re-election of Malcolm Ross Richmond as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
The Company's Constitution requires one third of the Directors (or if that is not a whole number, the whole number nearest to one third) to retire at each AGM. The Director(s) who retire under this rule are those who have held office the longest since last being elected or appointed. If two or more Directors have been in office for the same period, those Directors may agree which of them will retire. This rule does not apply to the Managing Director.
Mr Richmond retires at the AGM under this rule. However, being eligible, he has offered himself for reelection as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr Richmond has been a Non-Executive Director of the Company since 25 October 2006 and was most recently elected a Director at the 2007 AGM. Mr Richmond's qualifications and experience are detailed in the Directors' Report in the Company's 2010 Annual Report.
4. Resolution 3 – Issue of Options to Managing Director – Kenneth John Hellsten
4.1 Background
Resolution 3 seeks shareholders' approval for the Company to grant a total of 1,000,000 options to Managing Director, Kenneth Hellsten, in three tranches on the following terms and conditions:
| Option terms andconditions | Tranche 1 | Tranche 2 | Tranche 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of options | 333,334 | 333,333 | 333,333 |
| Exercise price | Each option entitles the holder to subscribe (in cash) for one (1) fully-paid, ordinary sharein the capital of Strike Resources Limited at an exercise price of: | ||
| $1.30 | $1.50 | $1.75 | |
| Expiry date | Each option will expire at the end of 23 March 2013. | ||
| Vesting conditions | Options may only be exercised after they have vested. All of the options will vest at thetime when they are issued. | ||
| Lapsing conditions: | Where options have vested and are therefore able to be exercised, options will lapse(and therefore not be capable of being exercised): | ||
| (a)upon their expiry date; or | |||
| (b)upon the Director resigning or being dismissed under clause 16.2 of his contractof employment as Managing Director (which deals with dismissal for seriousmisconduct or material breach of his obligations to the Company and relatedissues). | |||
| Other terms | As set out in the Annexure to this Explanatory Statement. |
The reasons why the Company is proposing to grant these options to Managing Director, Kenneth Hellsten, are as follows:
- The number of options to be issued to Mr Hellsten has been determined having regard to the level of Director's salary being received by Mr Hellsten (currently $350,000 per annum plus a bonus of up to $100,000 in 3 parts, dependent on the Company's Peruvian joint venture Apurimac Ferrum S.A. meeting targets in its drilling program) and is a cash-free, effective and efficient way of providing an appropriate level of Director's remuneration, as well as providing ongoing equity-based incentives for Mr Hellsten to remain with the Company with a view to maximising the Company's future growth.
- The proposed options issue is designed to act as an incentive for Mr Hellsten to strive to achieve the Company's goals and enhancing shareholder value.
- The options (structured as described above) provide an equity holding opportunity for Mr Hellsten which is linked to the Company's share price performance.
- Based on the staggered exercise prices of the three tranches of the options, Mr Hellsten is only likely to the exercise all the options if there is a substantial upward movement in the Company's share price.
4.2 A Related-Party Transaction Under the Corporations Act, Chapter 2E
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that, for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of that company, the public company must:
- (a) obtain the approval of shareholders in the way set out in Sections 217 to 227; and
- (b) give the benefit within 15 months after the approval.
A "related party" includes a director of a public company. A "financial benefit" includes a public company issuing securities (including options) to a related party.
The Company is thus seeking shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act to issue options to a Director pursuant to Resolution 3.
In accordance with the requirements of Chapter 2E and in particular Section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided to allow shareholders sufficient information to determine whether they should approve Resolution 3:
(a) The related party to whom Resolution 3 would permit the financial benefit to be given
Managing Director, Kenneth J. Hellsten.
(b) The nature of the financial benefit
If Resolution 3 is passed, Mr Hellsten will be granted a total of 1,000,000 options. The options will be granted on the terms and conditions set out in this Explanatory Statement, including the Annexure to this Explanatory Statement.
(c) Directors' recommendation
All of the Directors were available to consider proposed Resolution 3. All Directors (save for Kenneth Hellsten, who declines to make a recommendation because he has an interest in the outcome of the resolution) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of approving Resolution 3, for the reasons set out in this Explanatory Statement.
(d) The Directors' interests in the outcome of the proposed resolution.
Kenneth Hellsten has an interest in the outcome of this resolution as, if the resolution is passed, Mr Hellsten will be issued with a total of 1,000,000 options on the terms and conditions set out in this Explanatory Statement, including the Annexure to this Explanatory Statement.
(e) Any other information that is reasonably required by a shareholder to make a decision and that is known to the Company and any of its Directors
(i) Effect on capital structure
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will grant a total 1,000,000 options to Kenneth J Hellsten.
As at 18 October 2010, the Company has the following securities on issue:
| Quotedon ASX | Unlisted | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fully-paid, ordinary shares | 130,034,268 | - | 130,034,268 |
| $0.178 (9 February 2011) options | - | 1,833,333 | 1,833,333 |
| $0.278 (9 February 2011) options | - | 1,666,667 | 1,666,667 |
| $0.938 (20 July 2011) Directors' options | - | 4,600,000 | 4,600,000 |
| $0.938 (12 September 2011) Director's options | 500,000 | 500,000 | |
| $2.078 (6 March 2012) Director's options | 500,000 | 500,000 | |
| $2.788 (6 March 2012) Directors' options | 3,300,000 | 3,300,000 | |
| $2.878 (30 April 2012) employee's options | 33,000 | 33,000 | |
| $3.978 (2 December 2012) Directors' options | 4,000,000 | 4,000,000 | |
| $2.878 (3 March 2013) Employee's options | 250,000 | 250,000 | |
| $2.75 (29 July 2011) options | 903,404 | 903,404 | |
| $2.75 (13 October 2013) employee's options | 250,000 | 250,000 | |
| $2.50 (24 November 2012 Director's options | 750,000 | 750,000 | |
| $2.75 (24 November 2012 Director's options | 750,000 | 750,000 | |
| $3.25 (24 November 2012 Director's options | 750,000 | 750,000 | |
| Total | 130,034,268 | 20,086,404 | 150,120,672 |
If all of the current 20,086,404 options on issue, and all of the 1,000,000 options granted pursuant to shareholder approval of Resolution 3 are exercised, this would raise $43,602,868 cash for the Company and dilute the shareholding of existing shareholders by 13.95%.
If only the 1,000,000 options proposed to be granted under Resolution 3 were exercised, the Company would raise $1,516,666 cash and the shareholding of existing shareholders would be diluted by 0.76%.
(ii) Company's recent share price
The market price of the Company's shares during the exercise period of the options will normally determine whether or not option holders exercise their options. Thus, the options proposed to be granted if Resolution 3 is passed are only likely to be exercised if the Company's shares subsequently trade at a price which is higher than the exercise price.
The following table sets out the trading history of the Company's shares on ASX between 1 June and 18 October 2010 (inclusive):
| Month | High(cents) | Low(cents) | Last Saleat month end(cents) | VWAP(cents) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 2010 (to 18 October 2010) | 54 | 49.5 | 50 | 50.7 |
| September 2010 | 61.5 | 41 | 51.5 | 51.3 |
| August 2010 | 63 | 45 | 46 | 52.9 |
| July 2010 | 63 | 49 | 60 | 56.5 |
| June 2010 | 64 | 48.5 | 49 | 55.9 |
(iii) Directors' relevant interest in securities of the Company
Ken Hellsten's relevant interest in securities of the Company as at 18 October 2010 is as follows:
• Listed shares – 187,083.
(iv) Valuation of Options
The Directors consider, on the basis of the calculation methodology set out below, that the options to be granted pursuant to Resolution 3 (if passed) will have indicative values as follows:
- (1) Tranche 1 = $40,564 at $0.122 per option;
- (2) Tranche 2 = $35,387 at $0.106 per option; and
- (3) Tranche 3 = $30,235 at $0.091 per option.
This valuation has been calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, applying the following assumptions:
- (A) the Company's share price being $0.50 per share (which was the last bid price as at 18 October 2010);
- (B) a risk-free rate of return of 4.86% (based on the Commonwealth 3 year bond rate as at 18 October 2010); and
- (C) an estimated future volatility of the Company's share price of 80%.
The indicative valuation assumes that the issue date of the options was 18 October 2010. This valuation may not be a representative valuation of the options at the proposed date of issue (expected to be as soon as practicable after the date of this AGM upon Resolution 3 receiving shareholder approval and in any event, no later than one month thereafter).
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 3 by Kenneth Hellsten or any of his associates, who will be prohibited from voting as described in the voting exclusion statement within the Notice of AGM.
Neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of any other information that would reasonably be required by shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by Resolution 3, other than as set out in this Explanatory Statement.
4.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain approval of the shareholders of the company prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the company. As a Director is a related party of the Company, shareholders' approval for the option issue under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is sought under Resolution 3 .
The following information is provided to shareholders for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) the options will be granted to Managing Director, Kenneth J. Hellsten;
-
(b) a total of 1,000,000 options will be granted to Kenneth J. Hellsten on the terms and conditions set out in the Annexure to this Explanatory Statement;
-
(c) the options which are the subject of Resolution 3 will be granted to Kenneth J. Hellsten as soon as possible after the date of this AGM and in any event no later than one month after the date of this AGM and it is anticipated that all of the options will be granted on the same date;
-
(d) the options will be granted to Kenneth J. Hellsten for no consideration and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in the Annexure to this Explanatory Statement;
-
(e) no funds will be raised by the grant of options pursuant to Resolution 3; and
-
(f) by virtue of Exemption 14 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, shareholders' approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the options the subject of Resolution 3 as shareholders' approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
5. Resolution 4 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
Sections 249L and 250R of the Corporations Act require that a resolution be put to the shareholders to adopt the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Directors' Report. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors' Report of the Company's 2010 Annual Report.

The Option Holder will be entitled to receive - and will be sent - all reports, accounts and notices required to be given to the members of the Company but will not be entitled to attend or vote at any meeting of the members of the Company unless they are, in addition to being an Option Holder, a member of the Company.
8. Dealings in Options

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options to participate in any new issues of capital which may be made or offered by the Company to its Shareholders from time to time prior to the Option Expiry Date unless and until the Options are exercised. The Company will ensure that during the exercise period of the Options, the record date for the purposes of determining entitlements to any new such issue, will be at least 9 Business Days after such new issues are announced in order to afford the Option Holder an opportunity to exercise any Vested Options then held by the Option Holder.
12. Change of Options Exercise Price or Number of Underlying Shares
