2018 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
PURPOSE OF INFORMATION
This Explanatory Memorandum ( Memorandum ) accompanies and forms part of the Company’s Notice of Annual General Meeting ( Notice ) for the Annual General Meeting ( Meeting ) to be held at Level 27, Rialto South Tower, 525 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000 on Wednesday, 14 November 2018 at 10:30am (AEDT). The Notice incorporates, and should be read together, with this Memorandum.
BUSINESS
2018 Annual Financial Statements
The 2018 Annual Financial Statements, comprising the Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditor's Report for the year ended 30 June 2018 will be laid before the Meeting.
There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Financial Statements. However, Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the 2018 Annual Financial Statements and the management of the Company. A representative of the auditor will be invited to attend to answer questions about the audit of the Company’s 201 8 Annual Financial Statements.
The Company’s 201 8 Annual Financial Statements are set out in the Company’s 201 8 Annual Report which can be obtained from the Company’s website, www.davenportresources.com.au or upon request to the Company Secretary at the office of the Company, Level 28, 303 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 (telephone (03 9678 9104).
Resolution 1: Non-binding Resolution - Remuneration Report
As a listed entity, the Company is required pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Corporations Act ), to propose a non-binding resolution regarding the 2018 Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Director’s Report in the 2018 Annual Financial Statements. The vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Shareholders attending the 2018 Annual General Meeting of the Company will have an opportunity to discuss and put questions in respect of the Remuneration Report.
The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies. Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings ( AGM ) (treating this AGM as the first such meeting), shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGM's on a resolution (a spill resolution ) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director and CEO) must be put up for re-election.
In the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast on Resolution 1 are against the adoption of the 2018 Remuneration Report, shareholders should be aware that if there is a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more for the same resolution at the 2019 AGM the consequences are that it may result in the re-election of the Board.
- 7 -
Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice. In particular, Directors and other members of the key management personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report or a closely related party of those persons must not vote on Resolution 1 and must not cast a vote as proxy, unless the proxy appointment gives a direction on how to vote provided however that the Chair may vote undirected proxies on behalf of persons eligible to vote where expressly authorised to do so on the proxy form.
Resolution 2: Re-Election of Mr Christopher Bain as a Director
Resolution 2 is a resolution for the re-election of Mr Christopher Bain as a Director of the Company.
Pursuant to the Constitution of the Company, one-third of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not more than one-third, but disregarding the Managing Director and Directors appointed to fill casual vacancies, are required to retire by rotation at each AGM. The Company has four Directors, one of whom is the CEO/Managing Director. Accordingly, one Director (other than the Managing Director) is required to retire by rotation at the Meeting.
Mr Bain was appointed Managing Director when the Company became a listed entity in January 2017 and retired from that position on 01 March 2018. During the period that Mr Bain held the position of Managing Director, Mr Bain was not included in determining the rotation of Directors required to retire at an AGM. Mr Bain now retires by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election. Information on Mr Bain is available in the Directors’ Report included in the Company’s 201 8 Annual Report.
The Board (with Mr Bain abstaining) unanimously support the re-election of Mr Bain as a Director of the Company.
Resolution 3: Ratification of prior issue of options
Resolution 3 seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of 3,000,000 options as part consideration for the provision of corporate advisory services to the Company, as announced to ASX on 01 October 2018.
The options the subject of Resolution 3 were issued without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any twelve (12) month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as options), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the share capital of the Company at the commencement of that twelve (12) month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company’s shareho lders ratify the prior issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company seeks approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh its capacity to make further issues without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
-
The number of securities issued was 3,000,000 options exercisable at $0.081 (8.1 cents) each, expiring 05 September 2021;
-
The options were issued for no cash consideration;
-
The options issued are unlisted and are non-transferable. However, shares issued upon exercise of the options will have the same terms and rights as, and ranking equally with, the
-
8 -
Company’s existing li sted fully paid ordinary shares. The options will be issued on the terms and conditions as set out in the Schedule attached to this Memorandum;
-
The options were issued to Bacchus Capital Advisers (“BCA”) , a firm located in the United Kingdom;
-
No funds were raised through the issue. The options were issued as part consideration for the provision of corporate advisory services to the Company; and
-
A voting exclusion statement as set out in the Notice applies to this Resolution 3.
Resolution 4: Approval of placement facility
ASX has introduced fund raising rules to provide more flexibility for smaller companies to raise additional capital in an easier and potentially less costly manner. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after an annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to a company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX 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, at the date of the Notice, 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 exact number of equity securities (if any) to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer below). The Company may use funds raised from any 10% Placement Facility for funding of existing projects or new projects and/or general working capital. It may also use the 10% Placement Facility for non-cash consideration purposes such as in connection with joint venture agreements or arrangements, as payments to consultants or contractors or in connection with the acquisition of new projects (although the Company presently has no current proposal to do so).
At the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2017, the Company obtained shareholder approval to make issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. On 05 July 2018, the Company did a placement issuing 10,191,483 shares utilising the capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1A. At a general meeting held on 30 August 2018, shareholders ratified the issue of shares on 05 July 2018 and thereby allowing the Company to retain the placement capacity available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Since then there has been no shares issued under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.
Resolution 4 is put to shareholders again to obtain approval for a 10% Placement Facility for a further 12-month period from the passage of this resolution at this annual general meeting. The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
DESCRIPTION OF LISTING RULE 7.1A
• 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.
- 9 -
• 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 one class of quoted fully paid ordinary shares ( DAV ) and one class of quoted options ( DAVO ).
- Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an Annual General Meeting may, during the 10% Placement Period (defined below), issue a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
where:
-
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;
-
(iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
Note: “A” is has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
-
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
-
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
As at the date of this Memorandum, the Company has on issue 143,137,413 fully paid ordinary shares and therefore would have capacity to issue:
-
(i) subject to shareholders approving this Resolution 4, 21,470,612 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (15% capacity); and
-
(ii) 14,313,741 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A (10% capacity).
-
10 -
The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer above).
• Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of equity securities issued under ASX 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 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 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.
-
10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained and expires (and ceases to be valid) on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX 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) .
-
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors of the Company to issue the equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period separate to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under AS X Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 4 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).
SPECIFIC INFORMATION REQUIRED BY ASX LISTING RULE 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
Any equity security issued 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 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 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.
-
11 -
-
If Resolution 4 is approved by the Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voti ng power in the Company would be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of options, only if the options are exercised). 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,
which may have an effect on the quantum of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of the Company’s ordinary shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculat ed in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of the Notice. The table also shows:
-
Two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary shares 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders’ meeting.
-
Two examples of where the price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the closing price of the Company’s shares on 01 October 2017.

The table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum securities available under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A being 10% of the Company’s shares on issue at the date of the Meeting .
-
No options are exercised into fully paid ordinary securities before the date of the issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
The table does not demonstrate an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The table only demonstrates the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. It does not consider placements made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the “15% rule”.
-
The price of ordinary securities is deemed for the purposes of the table above to be $0.06, being the closing price of the Company’s listed securities on ASX on 01 October 2018 ( Deemed Price ). The Deemed Price is indicative only and does not consider the 25% discount to market that the securities may be placed at.
-
The table does not take into account the issue of any securities for which shareholder approval is being sought at the Meeting.
-
The table does not demonstrate the effect of listed options being issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, it only considers the issue of the fully paid ordinary securities.
The Company may seek to issue the equity securities for the following purposes:
-
Non-cash consideration – including in connection with joint venture arrangements or agreements, payment of contractors or consultants or in connection with the acquisition of
-
13 -
new projects (although the Company presently has no proposal to do so). In such circumstances, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
- Cash consideration – in such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards advancing existing Company projects, the acquisition of new projects and/or general working capital.
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.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market condition s at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company were to pursue an acquisition and were it to be successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice to which this Memorandum relates. At the date of that Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the equity securities. No existing shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
Note: unless otherwise specified, all monetary amounts are in Australian dollars.
