EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
- This Explanatory Statement is provided to Strike shareholders pursuant to and in satisfaction of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) and the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (operated by ASX Limited) (ASX).
- 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 $1.8 MILLION / 40 MILLION SHARE PLACEMENT
Resolution 1 seeks shareholder ratification of the previous issue by the Company of a total of 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.045 per share (raising $1,800,000 gross) to professional and institutional investors entitled to accept offers of securities under section 708 of the Corporations Act.
The Company announced on 1 June 20201 that it had undertaken a placement of 40 million shares at $0.045 per share to raise a total of $1.8 million (the Placement). The Placement was managed by Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ABN 19 075 071 466 (AFSL 234 666) (Canaccord) and was made to professional and sophisticated investors. Canaccord received a commission on the gross funds raised under the Placement.2
Acceptances under the Placement were settled on 4 June 2020, with shares issued on 5 June 2020. 3
The Placement issue price of $0.045 per share represented a discount of ~15% to the $0.053 closing price of the Company's shares on 27 May 2020 (the date prior to the Company requesting a trading halt, pending an announcement in relation to the completion of the Placement) and a discount of ~9% to the ~$0.04942 volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the Company's shares on ASX over the one month4 preceding the trading halt requested by the Company on 28 May 20205. Over the three months ending on 27 May 2020, the Company's shares have traded on ASX in a range of $0.024 to $0.053, with a VWAP of ~$0.04064.
The $1.8 million funds raised under the Placement, after expenses of the issue, will be used to advance the development of the Company's Paulsens East Iron Ore Project in Western Australia (including completion of a native title agreement, bulk sampling for further metallurgical testing, completion of a feasibility study, completion of various studies towards the finalisation of a mining proposal and the progression of off-take discussions). The balance of the funds (if any), 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 2020 Quarterly Report released on ASX on 17 July 2020.6
The Placement issue was completed within the Company's 15% placement capacity (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1) and the additional 10% placement facility (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A) approved by shareholders at the Company's last Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 28 November 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 (15% Placement Capacity).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides, in summary, that 'eligible entities' (generally with a market capitalisation of $300 million or less) may obtain shareholder approval at an AGM to issue 'Equity Securities' (which includes a share) representing up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the AGM (10% Placement Facility).
The issue of 40,000,000 shares under the Placement comprises approximately 23.93% of the Company's pre-Placement total issued share capital of 167,134,268 shares with:
- 25,070,140 shares (14.99%) issued within the Company's 15% Placement Capacity; and
- 16,713,426 shares (8.93%) issued within the Company's 10% Placement Capacity.
Whilst prior shareholder approval (under ASX Listing Rule 7.1) was not required for the issue of 25,070,140 shares (within the 15% Placement Capacity) under the Placement, the effect of the issue was 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.
The Company therefore wishes to seek shareholder ratification and approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 in order to refresh 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) 40,000,000 shares were issued by the Company upon settlement of the Placement. Settlement was completed on 4 June 2020 with shares issued on 5 June 2020;
- (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 Canaccord 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.
The Company's 10% Placement Capacity has been fully utilised and the Company proposes to seek shareholder approval to refresh this 10% Placement Capacity at the next AGM.
Shareholder Approval
If shareholders approve Resolution 1, the Company will have the capacity to issue new shares under its refreshed 15% Placement Capacity (within 12 months after the General Meeting, all things being equal). 15% of the Company's current total issued share capital of 207,134,268 shares is 31,070,140 shares.
If shareholders do not approve Resolution 1, the Company will not have any capacity to issue new shares within its 15% Placement Capacity. The Company will regain its 15% Placement Capacity on or about 5 June 2021 (being 12 months after the recently completed Placement) or when shareholders have approved a resolution ratifying the Placement at another general meeting prior to this 12 month anniversary. If shareholders do not approve Resolution 1 at this General Meeting, the Directors propose to seek approval again at the 2020 AGM (to be held on or before the end of November 2020).
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.
The Chairman of the General Meeting will call a Poll on voting on 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.
2. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE 60 MILLION NEW SHARES
Resolution 2 seeks prior shareholder approval for the Company to issue up to 60 million fully paid ordinary shares for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue equity securities in excess of its 15% Placement Capacity without the approval of shareholders.
The effect of Resolution 2 (if passed) will be to allow the Directors the flexibility and timeliness to issue up to 60 million shares during the 3 month period after this General Meeting, without using up the Company's 15% Placement Capacity (assuming Resolution 1 has been passed) or without seeking prior shareholder approval.
For completeness, the Company notes that:
- The Company may issue new shares at any time (without prior shareholder approval under Listing 7.1), within its 15% Placement Capacity.
- If shareholders do not approve Resolution 2, the Company can still proceed to issue new shares but any such issue will need to be within its 15% Placement Capacity.
- The Company does not currently have any capacity to issue new shares within its 15% Placement Capacity (as explained in Section 1 of the Explanatory Statement). However, the Company's 15% Placement Capacity will be refreshed if shareholders approve Resolution 1 at this General Meeting.
- If shareholders approve Resolution 1 and Resolution 2 at this General Meeting, the Company will have the capacity to issue new shares under its refreshed 15% Placement Capacity (within 12 months after the General Meeting, all things being equal) as well as the capacity to issue up to 60 million new shares (within 3 months after the General Meeting).
An issue of 60,000,000 shares will represent approximately 28.97% of the Company's current total issued share capital of 207,134,268 shares.
Information Requirements under the ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 7.3 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting requesting shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided to shareholders to assist them to assess whether to approve Resolution 2:
(1) The names of the persons to whom the Company will issue shares or the basis upon which those persons will be identified or selected
The Company is not presently able to identify the persons to whom the Company will issue new shares. The Company proposes to issue new shares only to wholesale (ie. sophisticated or professional) investors and in circumstances where the Company is not required to issue a disclosure document, pursuant to section 708, section 761G and section 761GA of the Corporations Act.
The Company may enter into a mandate with an appropriate firm to assist in a proposed issue of new shares to these investors, in consideration for a fee (including a fee based on a percentage of funds raised).
The Company will not issue new shares to related parties (or their associates) as this will require further shareholder approval(s) under the Corporations Act and or ASX Listing Rules (as applicable).
(2) The number and class of shares the Company will issue
The Company proposes to issue up to a maximum of 60 million fully paid ordinary shares.
The Company will apply for quotation on ASX in respect of any new shares issued.
(3) The date(s) on or by which the Company will issue the shares
The Company is not presently able to identify the dates(s) on which the Company will issue new shares. The Company may issue new shares only within a 3 month period after the date of the General Meeting, as prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.3.4.
(4) The price the Company will receive for the shares
The Company is not presently able to fix the issue price (or other consideration the Company will receive) in respect of the issue of new shares. The Company proposes to issue new shares at a cash minimum price that is at least 80% of the volume weighted average market price (VWAMP) (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) for shares over the 5 days on which sales in the shares were recorded (Trading Days) prior to the date of issue of the new shares (Minimum Price).
(5) The purpose of the share issue (intended use of the funds raised)
Funds raised from the issue of new shares (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.
Shareholder Approval
If shareholders approve Resolution 2, the Company will have the capacity to issue up to 60 million new shares (in one or more tranches) to wholesale (ie. sophisticated or professional) investors (subject to the Minimum Price) during the 3 month period after the General Meeting. Any share issue (and the issue price related thereto) will be determined by the Directors at their absolute discretion at the relevant time (subject to the terms and conditions of shareholder approval of Resolution 2 set out in the Explanatory Statement).
If shareholders do not approve Resolution 2, the Company will generally not have any capacity to issue new shares without prior shareholder approval (other than as permitted in the prescribed Listing Rule 7.2 exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1). If shareholders approve Resolution 1 but fails to approve Resolution 2, the Company will have the capacity to issue new shares under its refreshed 15% Placement Capacity (within 12 months after the General Meeting, all things being equal) (as outlined above in Section 1).
Directors' Recommendation
The Directors believe that allowing the Company the flexibility and timeliness to issue up to 60 million shares during the 3 month period after this General Meeting, without using up the Company's 15% Placement Capacity (assuming Resolution 1 has been passed) or without seeking prior shareholder approval, is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
The Chairman of the General Meeting will call a Poll on voting on Resolution 2.
Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 2 in the terms set out in the Notice of General Meeting:
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of the resolution by or on behalf of a person who is expected to participate in, or who will obtain a material benefit as a result of, the proposed issue (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary securities in the entity) and an associate of that person.
However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form or it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
