6.4 Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors have an interest in Resolutions 6 to 8 (inclusive) and therefore believe it inappropriate to make a recommendation.
7 RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
7.1 General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 10% Placement Facility ).
PAGE 13 OF 20
TREK METALS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 7.2(c)).
Resolution 9 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.”
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 9.
7.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities being Shares (ASX Code: TKM).
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
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
-
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% Placement Facility without Shareholder approval;
-
(D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
PAGE 14 OF 20
TREK METALS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% Placement Facility.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the 15% Placement Facility.
At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 194,332,934 Shares (which includes Tranche 1 Placement) and has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 6,666,667 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) subject to obtaining Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 9, 17,478,226 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 7.2(c))
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 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 Trading Days of the date described in Section 7.2(e)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( 10% Placement Period ).
7.3 Effect of Resolution
The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% Placement Facility.
PAGE 15 OF 20
TREK METALS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS
7.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:
-
(a) Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 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 Trading Days of the date described in Section 7.4 (a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 9 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(c) The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Ordinary Securities for variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of the Notice.
-
(d) The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable 'A' has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable 'A' is based on the number of Ordinary Securities the Company has on issue. The number of Ordinary Securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of Ordinary Securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future general meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of Ordinary Securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(i) No Options are converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(ii) 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%.
-
(iii) 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 Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(iv) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% Placement Facility.
-
(v) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are converted into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(vi) The issue price is A$0.06, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 31[st] July 2020.
-
(e) The Company will only issue Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 9 for the issue of Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(f) The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities as cash consideration with funds to be used for the continued exploration and development of the Company's projects and for general working capital.
-
(g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.
PAGE 17 OF 20
TREK METALS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO SHAREHOLDERS
-
(h) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the subscribers of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) Consideration of the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue, share purchase plans or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
(iv) general market conditions; and
-
(v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
-
(i) The subscribers under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders or new Shareholders (or both) who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.
-
(j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 9.
-
(k) At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of Equity Securities. No Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
