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.

The Deed Administrators are not responsible for the contents of this Notice of Meeting and, to the extent permitted by law, do not accept any responsibility for any disclosure in or failure to include any disclosure in this document.

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 Background and overview of the Administration process

On 2 March 2016, the Directors resolved to place the Company into voluntary administration and appointed Messrs Martin Jones, Andrew Smith and Dermott McVeigh of Ferrier Hodgson as joint and several administrators of the Company (together, the Administrators ) pursuant to section 436A of the Corporations Act.

On 3 March 2016, the Company’s securities were suspended from trading on the official list of ASX. Following appointment of the Administrators, the powers of the Company’s officers (including Directors) were suspended and the Administrators assumed control of the Company’s business, property and affairs.

As announced on 1 July 2016, the Administrators’ initial Section 439A Report, dated 30 June 2016, detailed (at page 12) the events leading up to their appointment, in particular that the Company had been unable to raise sufficient capital by early 2016, creating a funding shortfall that was insufficient to meet a number of contingent liability concerns including a potential capital gains tax liability in Mozambique associated with its Grafex acquisitions.

On 8 July 2016, at a second meeting of creditors ( Second Meeting ), the creditors of the Company resolved to execute a deed of company arrangement ( DOCA ) to effect the Recapitalisation Proposal lodged jointly by proponents Somers & Partners Pty Ltd (ACN 149 263 543) ( Somers ) and Minjar Gold Pty Ltd (ACN 119 514 528) ( Minjar ) (together the Joint Proponents ).

On 22 July 2016, the Administrators:

  • (a) removed Christopher James Catlow and Alfred John Gillman as Directors of the Company; and

  • (b) appointed two nominees of Minjar (Mr Xingmin (Max) Ji and Mr Guanghui (Michael) Ji) and one nominee of Somers (Mr Patrick Burke) as Directors. Further details in respect of these Directors are provided in Section 1.6 below. It is anticipated that these three Directors, plus continuing directors Mr Garth Higgo and Ms Paula Ferreira, will comprise the Board following completion of the Recapitalisation Proposal.

On 25 July 2016, the DOCA was executed by the Company and Administrator, whereupon the Company entered deed administration and the Administrators became the Deed Administrators of the Company. Further details in respect of the DOCA are provided in Section 1.3 below.

6

1.2 Recapitalisation Proposal

The Recapitalisation Proposal from the Joint Proponents can be summarised as follows:

  • (a) Placement : Subject to Shareholder approval (which is being sought in this Notice), a placement to Minjar (or its nominees) of 105,248,400 Shares at $0.06 per Share to raise $6,314,904, together with the issue of 25,000,000 Options (each having an exercise price of $0.10 each and an expiry date of 30 June 2018, and with the Options to be issued under a prospectus) ( Placement ). This will result in Minjar (or its nominees) holding 20.0% of the Company’s issued Shares. The Company and Minjar have executed a subscription agreement dated 25 July 2016 in relation to the Placement ( Subscription Agreement ). The Company has agreed to pay Azure Capital Pty Limited a capital raising fee equal to 6% of the funds raised from the Placement (inclusive of GST).

  • (b) Creditors Trust : The establishment of the Creditors’ Trust and payment to it by the Company of $5,000,000 out of the Placement funds, together with the transfer (to the extent it is assignable) of any chose in action or claim that the Company may have against third parties and benefit of such choses in action and claims ( Creditors’ Trust Payment ), following which all Claims (other than Excluded Claims) will be extinguished and released, and replaced with equivalent claims against the Creditors’ Trust, whereupon the DOCA will terminate and control of the Company will be returned to the Directors. Excluded Claims are not affected by the DOCA and, as such, the Company presently intends to continue making provision for such Excluded Claims as potential contingent liabilities of the Company. Further details in respect of the Creditors’ Trust are provided in Section 1.4 below.

  • (c) Shortfall : In the event that the Creditors’ Trust Payment is insufficient to meet the Claims (other than Excluded Claims) against the Creditors’ Trust and the costs of the Administrators, Deed Administrators and Trustees in full ( Shortfall Amount ), the Company, at its election, must either:

  • (i) issue to the Trustees sufficient Shares which, when realised, will be sufficient to discharge the Shortfall Amount; or

  • (ii) pay to the Trustees an amount equal to Shortfall Amount.

  • (d) Underwritten Entitlement Issue : As soon as practicable after completion of the Placement and termination of the DOCA and in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, the Company will seek to raise not less than $7,893,634 via an underwritten non renounceable pro-rata entitlements issue of not less than 131,560,567 Shares at $0.06 per Share (and on the basis of 1 Share for every 4 Shares held in as at the relevant record date) ( Entitlement Issue ).

Somers has agreed to fully underwrite the Entitlement Issue under the terms of an underwriting agreement with the Company dated 25 July 2016 ( Underwriting Agreement ) in consideration for which the Company has agreed to pay Somers an underwriting fee equal to 5% of the underwritten amount (excluding the value of Shares subscribed for by Minjar or its nominees pursuant to the Entitlement Issue up to a maximum of Minjar’s pro rata entitlement ( Minjar Amount )), a management fee equal to 1% of the amount raised under the Entitlement Issue, and to grant Somers (or its nominees) 50,000,000 Options. Somers has subsequently agreed that 25,000,000 of these Options are to be granted instead to Minjar (or its nominees) under the Placement. The prospectus for the Entitlement Issue will include separate offers of 25,000,000 Options to each of Minjar (or its nominees) and Somers (or its nominees).

7

The Company has agreed to pay Azure Capital Pty Limited a fee equal to 6% of the Minjar Amount.

  • (e) Deposit : Somers has paid a $1,000,000 deposit ( Deposit ) to the Company to be used as follows:

  • (i) $300,000 is to be used towards the Company’s advisory and related costs associated with the Entitlement Issue and prospectus issued in relation to the Entitlement Issue (excluding Administrators’ fees and costs). This amount is (together with the rest of the Deposit) must be repaid to Somers if the Placement completes but the Entitlement Issue does not;

  • (ii) $450,000 is to be treated as a non-interest bearing loan to the Company ( Loan ) to be used to preserve the Company’s investment in Grafex Limitada and associated operating costs of the Company (excluding Administrators’ fees and costs);

  • (iii) $250,000 of the Deposit has been paid into the Ferrier Hodgson trust account to be:

    • (A) repaid to Somers if the Entitlement Issue does not proceed and/or the DOCA is terminated, in each case due to circumstances outside Somers’ control;

    • (B) paid to the Company if the Entitlement Issue does not proceed and/or the DOCA is terminated, in each case due to circumstances within Somers’ control; and

    • (C) paid to the Company if the Entitlements Offer proceeds; and

  • (iv) the entire Deposit is to be used towards offsetting Somers’ underwriting commitment in respect of the Entitlement Issue (if the Entitlement Issue completes), and, if the Entitlement Issue completes with all relevant shares being issued, the Company will be released from obligations under the Loan.

Subject to successful completion of the Placement and the Entitlement Issue, the Company will request that ASX lift the suspension applying to trading in its Shares.

1.3 DOCA

The DOCA will, upon being implemented, result in all Claims (other than Excluded Claims) against the Company being extinguished and released, and replaced with equivalent claims against the Creditors’ Trust.

The implementation of the DOCA is subject to the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied by 25 September 2016 (or such later date as approved by the Deed Administrators):

  • (a) the Company receiving Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Shares to Minjar under Resolution 1 of this Notice;

  • (b) the Placement occurs in accordance with the Subscription Agreement (however, prior to the Meeting, it is intended that the Deed Administrators will vary the DOCA with the effect that the issue of Options under the Placement will not be a condition precedent to implementation of the DOCA (as such Options are intended to be issued after the implementation of the DOCA under a prospectus)); and

8

  • (c) following completion of the above two conditions, the Company and the Trustees execute the Creditors’ Trust Deed.

On satisfaction of the conditions precedent, the Deed Administrators must make the Creditors’ Trust Payment to the Creditors’ Trust following which the DOCA will terminate and control of the Company will return to the Board.

1.4 Creditors’ Trust

The Creditors’ Trust is being used to help facilitate the Company being released from all Claims (other than Excluded Claims) so that the Company can exit deed administration and be returned to the control of the Board, substantially sooner than might otherwise be the case.

The Creditors’ Trust Deed, the form of which has already been settled and was attached to the DOCA, provides for the establishment of the Creditors’ Trust and sets out, amongst other things, the powers of the Trustees and the manner in which Trust Fund (which will comprise the Creditors’ Trust Payment and any Shortfall Amount) will be distributed amongst the Company’s former creditors.

The Creditors’ Trust Deed provides that the Trust Fund will be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of the Trust as follows:

  • (a) first, to the extent not previously paid:

  • (i) to the Administrators and Deed Administrators for any amount which the Administrators and Deed Administrators are entitled to be paid or indemnified for (even though they may have ceased to be Administrators and Deed Administrators); and

  • (ii) to the Trustees for the amount of the Trustee’s remuneration and the Trustee’s costs and any other amount which the Trustees are entitled to be paid or indemnified for;

  • (b) next, to the Company to meet any indemnity the Company requires from the Trustee to meet the Company’s costs associated with assisting the Trustee to pursue any causes of action the Company may have;

  • (c) next, to any employee creditor for the amount of their Claim (excluding superannuation debt);

  • (d) next, to each remaining former creditor of the Company (other than a creditor with an Excluded Claim) who would have been entitled to prove in a winding up of the Company, if the Company had been wound up and the winding up was taken to have commenced on the Appointment Date ( Trust Creditor ) in satisfaction of their admitted claims (being the claim of a Trust Creditor admitted by the Trustees in accordance with the Creditors’ Trust Deed); and

  • (e) lastly, to each Trust Creditor in satisfaction of any interest accrued on its claim at the statutory rate, as between the Appointment Date and the date its claim is paid under paragraph (c) or (d) (as relevant).

In the Administrators’ Section 439A Report dated 30 June 2016 (at page 25), the Administrators note that the Directors Statement provided under section 438B of the Corporations Act estimates aggregate Claims of the Company’s creditors to be approximately $3,067,370, comprising employee claims of $1,388,846 and unsecured creditors of $1,678,524, plus a further $6,422,618 in potential contingent liabilities (predominantly comprising a potential contingent liability for Mozambique capital gains tax on the Grafex acquisitions, which is an Excluded Claim).

9

It is anticipated that the Recapitalisation Proposal will result in employee and unsecured creditors receiving 100 cents in the dollar on their admitted Claims (other than the Excluded Claim).

1.5 Capital structure

The estimated proposed capital structure post effectuation of the DOCA (assuming all Resolutions are approved, the Entitlement Issue is fully subscribed and no Options are exercised) is set out in the table below.

1.7 Reinstatement to official quotation

If the Resolutions are passed and the Recapitalisation Proposal completed, the Company will seek the reinstatement to trading of its securities on ASX.

Subject to ASX approving reinstatement to trading (which is at ASX’s discretion), the Company will seek to continue with its existing business activities, namely its Balama North Project and Ancuabe Project.

1.8 Effect of Recapitalisation Proposal

The advantages of the Recapitalisation Proposal include:

  • (a) the Company will be released from Claims (other than the Excluded Claim), returned to the control of the Board and recapitalised with a net cash injection of approximately $8 million to continue with its existing business;

  • (b) the Company’s securities will (subject to ASX’s approval in its discretion and satisfaction of conditions imposed by ASX) be reinstated to trading on the ASX.

The disadvantage to Shareholders of the Recapitalisation Proposal is that their existing Shareholdings will be diluted following the issue of the Securities pursuant to Resolutions 1 to 3.

11

1.9 Effect if Resolutions are not approved

If any of those Resolutions are not passed by Shareholders, the Deed Administrators will be required to seek to have the DOCA varied (to reflect a varied or new recapitalisation proposal, possibly) and, if unsuccessful, the Company may go into liquidation.

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
