EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held on 22 September 2016.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the resolutions in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting. This Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.
Under Resolution 1 the Company is seeking shareholder ratification of a previous Issue of Securities under Listing Rule 7.4. Further information is provided under Item 1 of this Explanatory Statement.
Under Resolution 2 the Company is seeking shareholder ratification of a previous Issue of Securities under Listing Rule 7.4. More details are provided under Item 2 of this Explanatory Statement
1. RESOLUTION 1 - RATIFICATION OF A PREVIOUS ISSUE OF SECURITIES TO SOPHISTICATED AND PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS IN NOVEMBER 2015
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period to that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Shareholder approval can be obtained either before or after the equity securities are issued.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution under which the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for and ratification of the shares detailed below to Sophisticated and Professional Investors and confirms that the issue did not breach the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at that time.
No. of Securities Issued: 855,776 ordinary shares representing 0.57% of the total number of equity securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period.
Issue Price : 0.2 of 1 cent per share, which was the market price at the time. Use of Proceeds: The Company has applied funds raised in the above placement towards working capital and corporate administration costs.
3
Terms of Securities: All shares were issued as fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with existing shares. Quotation on the ASX was sought and obtained. Allottee: The shares were issued to Sophisticated and Professional Investors. None of the allottees were related parties. Recommendation: The Board believes that the ratification of these issues is beneficial for the Company. The Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1, as it allows the Company to ratify the above issues of Shares and retain the flexibility to issue the maximum number of equity securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval.
2. RESOLUTION 2 - RATIFICATION OF A PREVIOUS ISSUE OF SECURITIES TO SOPHISTICATED AND PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS IN AUGUST 2016
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period to that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholder approval can be obtained either before or after the equity securities are issued.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution under which the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for and ratification of the shares detailed below to Sophisticated and Professional Investors and confirms that the issue did not breach the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at that time.
No. of Securities Issued: 20,912,782 ordinary shares representing 12.42% of the total number of equity securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period. Issue Price : 0.8 of 1 cent per share - the VWAP of the last fifteen traded days. Use of Proceeds: The Company has applied funds raised in the above placement towards working capital and corporate administration costs. Terms of Securities: All shares were issued as fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with existing shares. Quotation on the ASX was sought and obtained. Allottee: The shares were issued to Sophisticated and Professional Investors. None of the allottees were related parties. Recommendation: The Board believes that the ratification of these issues is beneficial for the Company. The Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2, as it allows the Company to ratify the above issues of Shares and retain the flexibility to issue the maximum number of equity securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval.
