EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Background to this Notice
Plukka Limited (ASX: PKA) ( Company or PKA ) is an Australian public company which has been listed on the Official List of the ASX since 28 January 2004. Most recently the Company’s activities have consisted of a multi-brand, omni-channel fine jewellery platform connecting designers of fine jewellery with consumers all over the world. In January 2018, the Company announced its plan to close its fine jewellery business and that is was seeking to acquire a new asset or business to help maximise shareholder value.
The Company announced on 5 August 2019 that it had entered into a binding term sheet ( Term Sheet ) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Tesoro Resources Limited (ACN 618 093 306) ( Tesoro ) ( Acquisition ). As announced on 3 October 2019, the Company and Tesoro have entered into a full form share purchase agreement in relation to the proposed Acquisition, superseding the Term Sheet ( Acquisition Agreement ).
The Acquisition is conditional on the Company obtaining all necessary regulatory and Shareholder approvals to effect the Acquisition and satisfying all other requirements of ASX for the reinstatement to official quotation of the Company’s Shares on the ASX (among other things) ( Official Quotation ).
On 7 October 2019, the Company dispatched its Notice of Annual General Meeting ( AGM Notice ) to Shareholders. Capitalised terms defined in the AGM Notice have the same meaning where used in this Explanatory Statement.
The AGM Notice included resolutions for all Shareholder approvals necessary to effect the Acquisition and satisfy all other requirements of ASX for Official Quotation, in particular resolutions to approve:
-
(a) the Acquisition under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (because the Acquisition, if successfully completed, will represent a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s operations) (AGM Resolution 3);
-
(b) the consolidation of the Company’s Shares on a 15 to 4 basis ( Consolidation ) (AGM Resolution 4);
-
(c) the issue of the Consideration Shares to the Tesoro Shareholders in consideration for the Acquisition (AGM Resolution 5);
-
(d) the Company undertaking a capital raising by issuing a minimum of 150,000,000 Shares at $0.03 per Share to raise a minimum of $4,500,000 ( Capital Raising ) with the ability to issue up to an additional 33,333,333 Shares to raise up to $5,500,000 (AGM Resolution 6);
-
(e) the participation of Director, Mr John Toll and of both Mr Zeffron Reeves and an entity related to Mr Geoffrey McNamara (who are both proposed Directors) in the Capital Raising (AGM Resolutions 7 to 9);
-
(f) the issue of Shares in satisfaction of $300,000 of converting loans owed by Tesoro (AGM Resolution 10);
-
(g) the issue of Performance Rights to proposed Directors Messrs Geoffrey McNamara and Zeffron Reeves (or their nominees) (AGM Resolutions 12 and 13);
-
(h) the issue of Shares in satisfaction for the debt owed to creditors of the Company (including Proposed Director, Mr Geoffrey McNamara and associated entities) (AGM Resolutions 14 and 15); and
-
(i) the issue of Shares to PAC Partners in consideration for services provided to Tesoro and the Company (AGM Resolutions 16 and 17).
3
3571-05/2280267_6_PKA - Notice of General Meeting (17 10 19) (2).DOC
Further details of the AGM Resolutions are set out in the AGM Notice.
The issue of the Performance Rights to Messrs McNamara and Reeves (or their nominees) requires Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act, which was contemplated under AGM Resolutions 12 and 13. However, due to an oversight, the AGM Notice was not lodged with ASIC as required by section 218 of the Corporations Act prior to being dispatched to Shareholders. Accordingly, the Company will withdraw AGM Resolutions 12 and 13 and has convened the Meeting the subject of this Notice to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights to Messrs McNamara and Reeves (or their nominees). This Notice was lodged with ASIC under section 218 of the Corporations Act prior to being dispatched to Shareholders.
The issue of the Performance Rights to Messrs McNamara and Reeves (or their nominees) is a term of the Acquisition Agreement, and completion of the Acquisition is conditional on Shareholders approving the issue. This means that, should Shareholders fail to approve the issue of the Performance Rights to Messrs McNamara and Reeves (or their nominees) at the Meeting the subject of this Notice, the Acquisition will not proceed.
1.2 Background to the Acquisition
Tesoro is an Australian unlisted public company that was established with a strategy of acquiring, developing and building mining projects in the Coastal Cordillera region of Chile with a focus on gold and currently holds option agreements to acquire interests in two highly prospective gold projects, up to 80% of the El Zorro Gold Project and up to 100% of the Espina Gold Projects, in the Coastal Cordillera region which is host to multiple world class copper and gold mines. Please refer to Section 4 of the AGM Notice for further details in relation to Tesoro and the El Zorro and Espina Gold Projects.
The key terms of the Acquisition Agreement are set out in Schedule 1 of the AGM Notice.
The consideration for the Acquisition will be satisfied by the issue to the Tesoro Shareholders (or their nominees) of 112,294,158 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) ( Consideration Shares ).
Trading in the Company’s Shares is currently suspended and will remain suspended until the Company re-complies with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules following completion of the Acquisition. The Acquisition is conditional on the Company obtaining all necessary regulatory and Shareholder approvals to effect the Acquisition and satisfying all other requirements of ASX for the reinstatement to Official Quotation of the Company’s Shares on the ASX (among other things).
ASX has an absolute discretion in deciding whether or not to re-admit the Company to the Official List and to reinstate the Company’s Shares to Official Quotation and therefore the Acquisition may not proceed if ASX exercises that discretion. Investors should take account of these uncertainties in deciding whether or not to buy or sell the Company’s Securities.
1.3 Summary of Resolutions
As noted above, this Notice contains Resolutions to approve the issue of Performance Rights to proposed Directors Messrs Geoffrey McNamara and Zeffron Reeves (or their nominees) on the same terms as AGM Resolutions 12 and 13.
AGM Resolutions 12 and 13 will be withdrawn from the AGM Notice and will not be considered at the AGM.
The Resolutions the subject of this Notice are conditional upon and subject to the Essential AGM Resolutions. If the Essential AGM Resolutions are not passed at the AGM, the Acquisition will not proceed and the Company will not proceed with the Meeting the subject of this Notice.
The Resolutions the subject of this Notice are also inter-conditional, which means that both Resolutions must be passed for the Resolutions to be effective.
As noted above, the issue of the Performance Rights to Messrs McNamara and Reeves (or their nominees) is a term of the Acquisition Agreement, and completion of the Acquisition is conditional on Shareholders approving the issue. This means that, should Shareholders fail to approve the issue of the Performance Rights to Messrs McNamara and Reeves (or their nominees) at the Meeting the subject of this Notice, the Acquisition will not proceed.

2.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
- (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of the Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Proposed Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Proposed Directors of the Company or an entity controlled by a Proposed Director of the Company.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Performance Rights to the Proposed Directors.

(i) Performance Rights to be issued to the nominee of Mr McNamara: $2,214,384; and
-
(ii) Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Reeves: $1,890,815.
6
3571-05/2280267_6_PKA - Notice of General Meeting (17 10 19) (2).DOC
Given the Performance Rights are subject to performance-based Milestones and are subject to a real risk of forfeiture, the Company considers that the value of the Performance Milestones as at the date of this Notice and on issue is substantially lower than that amount;
(l) the primary purpose of the issue of the Performance Rights to the Proposed Directors is to provide a performance linked incentive component to each of the Proposed Directors to motivate and reward the Proposed Directors performance, each of whom is a related party of the Company in their respective roles as proposed Directors;
-
(m) each of the current Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2 for the following reasons:
-
(i) the issue of Performance Rights to the Proposed Directors , in particular, the vesting conditions of the Performance Rights will align the interests of the Proposed Directors with those of Shareholders; and
-
(ii) the issue of the Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Proposed Directors;
-
(n) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of the Proposed Directors, the value of Shares implied by the Acquisition and the Capital Raising, current market practice when determining the number of Performance Rights to be granted as well as the Milestones attaching to the Performance Rights and the expiry dates of those Performance Rights; and
-
(o) with the exception of Mr McNamara in respect of Resolution 1 and Mr Reeves in respect of Resolution 2, none of the current or Proposed Directors has a personal interest in the outcomes of Resolutions 1 or 2; and
-
(p) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 1 and 2.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Performance Rights to the Proposed Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Performance Rights to the Proposed Directors will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

(f) ( Lapsing ): Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, any unvested Performance Rights will lapse on the earlier of:
-
(i) the date that the Milestone relating to that Performance Right must have been satisfied;
-
(ii) where a holder has acted fraudulently, dishonestly or wilfully breaching their duties to PKA; or
-
(iii) the expiry date of the Performance Right (if any).
-
(g) ( Share ranking ): All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.
-
(h) ( Listing of Shares on ASX ): PKA will not apply for quotation of the Performance Rights on ASX. However, PKA will apply for quotation of all Shares issued pursuant to the vesting of Performance Rights on ASX within the period required by ASX.
-
(i) ( Transfer of Performance Rights ): A Performance Right is not transferable.
-
(j) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Performance Rights and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to PKA shareholders during the currency of the Performance Rights.

dividend reinvestment), the number of Performance Rights to which each holder is entitled, will be increased by that number of securities which the holder would have been entitled if the Performance Rights held by the holder were vested immediately prior to the record date of the bonus issue, and in any event in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the bonus issue.
-
(l) ( Adjustment for reconstruction ): If, at any time, the issued capital of PKA is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder of a Performance Right (including the Vesting Conditions) are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation.
-
(m) ( Dividend and Voting Rights ): A Performance Right does not confer upon the holder an entitlement to vote or receive dividends.
-
(n) ( No rights to return of capital ) A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise of PKA.
-
(o) ( No rights on winding up ): A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of PKA upon winding up.
-
(p) ( No other rights ): A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.
-
(q) ( change of control ) If there is a change in control event in relation to PKA (eg, a takeover bid for all the Shares in PKA which obtains acceptances for at least 50.1% and is declared unconditional or via a scheme of arrangement by which more than 50% of the Shares in PKA change ownership and which is approved by shareholders at a court convened meeting) then any unvested Performance Rights will automatically vest on a one-for-one basis up to a maximum number of shares that is equal to 10% of the PKA shares on issue immediately following conversion under this paragraph. The conversion will be completed on a pro rata basis across each class of Performance Right then on issue as well as on a pro rata basis for each holder.
-
(r) ( Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares ) If the conversion of a Performance Right would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:
-
(i) holders may give written notification to PKA if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle PKA to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.
-
(ii) PKA may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder provide the written notice referred to the paragraph immediately above within seven days, if PKA considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle PKA to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.
