4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
4.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 such that if Resolution 3 is passed the Company’s total annual placement capacity will be 25% of its issued capital.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $37,498,348 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 20 April 2021 (the last trading day prior to the Suspension of Trading)).
An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has 1,249,944,918 class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: TSL) and 66,897,716 classes of quoted Options on issue, being the Options (ASX Code: TSLO).
If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. In this regard, Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
- A = the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period (as defined below):
(A) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
(B) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of Convertible Securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the Convertible Securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue, the Convertible Securities was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,
(C) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,
(D) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
(E) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the Relevant Period;
(F) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the Relevant Period;
Note: that “A” above has the same meaning as in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
D = 10%.
- E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of the Company’s ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 .
Note : For the purposes of “ A ” and “ E ” above, Relevant Period means:
-
if the Company has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or
-
if the Company has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.
Therefore, because the Company has been admitted to the official list for more than 12 months, the Relevant Period for the purposes of “ A ” and “ E ” above is the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 3, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility and will remain subject to its existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 3 for it to be passed.
4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:
- (a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in section 4.2(a)(i) of this Notice above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking),
or such other period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 20 October 2021.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
| Dilution | ||||
| Issue Price (per Share) |
$0.015 50% decrease in Issue Price |
$0.03 Issue Price |
$0.045 50% increase in Issue Price |
|
| 1,249,944,918 (Current Variable A) |
Shares issued - 10% voting dilution |
124,994,491 | 124,994,491 | 124,994,491 |
| Funds raised |
$1,874,917 | $3,749,834 | $5,624,752 | |
| 1,874,917,377 (50% increase in Variable A) |

187,491,737 | 187,491,737 | 187,491,737 |
| Funds raised |

Shares issued - 10% voting dilution |

| Funds raised |
$3,759,834 | $7,499,669 | $11,249,504 |
*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon the exercise of Options or exercise of Performance Rights) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There will be 1,249,944,918 Shares on issue for the purposes of Current Variable A.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 20 April 2021 (the last trading day prior to the Suspension of Trading).
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue,
which might have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of Shares.
4.3 Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use the funds:
-
(a) for general exploration and development activities and/or
-
(b) working capital and may use the funds for the acquisition of new assets and investments.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
4.4
Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(a) the purpose of the issue;
-
(b) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(c) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(d) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(e) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(f) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
4.5
Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company has previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2020.
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2020 (and as at the date of this Notice), the Company issued a total of 0 Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which represents approximately 0% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 30 November 2020.
4.6
Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, there is no outstanding invitation to any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.
4.7
Board recommendation
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
