EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  • This Explanatory Statement is provided to Strike shareholders pursuant to and in satisfaction of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
  • This Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting (Meeting Document).
  • Shareholders should read this Meeting Document in full to make an informed decision regarding the resolution considered at this general meeting.

1. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF \$1 MILLION / 21.8 MILLION SHARE PLACEMENT

Resolution 1 seeks shareholder ratification of the issue by the Company of a total of 21,800,000 fully paid ordinary shares at \$0.045 per share (raising \$981,000 gross) to professional and institutional investors entitled to accept offers of securities under section 708 of the Corporations Act.

The Company announced on 15 July 20191 that it had undertaken a placement of 21.8 million shares at \$0.045 per share to raise a total of \$0.981 million (the Placement). The Placement was managed by Patersons Securities Limited ABN 69 008 896 311 (AFSL 239052) (Patersons) and was accepted by professional and sophisticated investors. Patersons received a commission on the gross funds raised under the Placement.

Acceptances from professional and sophisticated investor clients under the Placement were received and settlement was completed on 18 July 2019, with shares issued also on 18 July 2019.2

The Placement issue price of \$0.045 per share represents a discount of ~8.2% to the \$0.049 closing price of the Company's shares on 10 July 2019 (the date prior to the Company requesting a 2 day trading halt) and a discount of ~7.2% to the ~\$0.0485 volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the Company's shares on ASX over the 30 days preceding the trading halt requested by the Company on 11 July 20193. Over the three months ending 10 July 2019, the Company's shares have traded on ASX in a range of \$0.045 to \$0.085, with a VWAP of ~\$0.0542.

The \$0.981 million funds raised under the Placement, after expenses of the issue, will be applied towards the costs of development of the Company's Paulsens East Iron Ore Project in Western Australia1. The balance of the funds, together with the Company's existing cash and liquid investments, will be applied towards the Company's other resource projects and for general working capital purposes. Further details on the Company's resource projects are in the 30 June 2019 Quarterly Report released on ASX on 26 July 2019.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides, in summary, that a listed company may not issue or agree to issue equity securities in any 12 month period which exceed 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities of the company on issue at the beginning of the 12 month period, except with the prior approval of shareholders.

The issue of 21,800,000 shares comprises approximately 14.99% of the Company's pre-Placement total issued share capital of 145,334,268 shares.

The Placement of 21,800,000 shares did not exceed the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. However, whilst prior shareholder approval (under ASX Listing Rule 7.1) was not required for the Placement issue, the effect of the issue is to reduce the Company's capacity to issue additional securities in the future without prior shareholder approval as permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

1 Refer Strike's ASX Announcement dated 15 July 2019: Maiden JORC Resource of 9.1 Million Tonnes at 63.4% Fe – Paulsens East Iron Ore Project in the Pilbara

2 Refer Strike's ASX Announcement dated 19 July 2019: Appendix 3B New Issue and Application for Quotation – 21.8M

3 Refer Strike's ASX Announcement dated 11 July 2019: Trading Halt

The Company therefore wishes to seek shareholder ratification and approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 in order to renew the Company's capacity to issue up to 15% of the securities of the Company on issue in a 12 month period under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the issue of the shares under the Placement, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future of up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting requesting shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to shareholders to assist them to assess whether to approve Resolution 1:

  • (a) 21,800,000 shares were issued by the Company upon settlement of the Placement. Settlement was completed on 18 July 2019 with shares issued on 18 July 2019;
  • (b) The shares were issued at a price of \$0.045 per share;
  • (c) The shares are ordinary, fully-paid shares issued on the same terms and conditions as the shares currently on issue by the Company;
  • (d) The shares were issued and allotted to professional and sophisticated investor clients of Patersons entitled to accept offers of securities under section 708 of the Corporations Act. None of the recipients are related parties or associates of the Company; and
  • (e) The funds raised from the Placement (after paying expenses of the issue) will be applied towards the costs of advancement of exploration, evaluation and development of the Company's Paulsens East Iron Ore Project and other resource projects and for general working capital purposes.

Directors' Recommendations

The Directors believe that a "refreshment" of the Company's capacity to issue up to 15% of the securities of the Company on issue in a 12 month period under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Voting Exclusion

In accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.5 and 14.11, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by any person who participated in the Placement issue and their associates. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form, or is cast by the person chairing the meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
