FOURTH SUPPLEMENTARY TARGET’S STATEMENT
27 July 2018
Dear Shareholder,
This Fourth Supplementary Target’s Statement is to provide further disclosure in relation to the Target’s Statement, namely to advise you of a new circumstance that has arisen since the Target's Statement was lodged and that would have been required to be included in the Target's Statement if it had arisen before the Target's Statement was lodged.
Notice under section 249D
The Board has received a notice under section 249D of the Corporations Act from registered shareholders of at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting, requesting that the directors of the Company call and arrange to hold a general meeting of the Company.[2]
The resolutions to be put to shareholders will be for the election of two new directors Mr Brett Clark and Mr Yiyang Qiu and for the removal of Mr Peter Joseph Burns, Mr Peter Gerard Burns and Ms Dariena Mullan.
The section 249D Notice has been received from Fountain Enterprises Int’l Co., Limited and Qiyuan Wu who together hold 9.8% of the Company’s shares on issue.
1 Words and phrases defined in the Target’s Statement have the same meaning in this Fourth Supplementary Target’s Statement (unless otherwise defined). This Fourth Supplementary Target’s Statement will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with the Target’s Statement, the First Supplementary Target’s Statement, the Second Supplementary Target’s Statement and Third Supplementary Target’s Statement.
2 Pursuant to section 249D(5) of the Corporations Act, the directors must call the general meeting of the Company within 21 days, and hold the general meeting within 2 months, after the receipt of this notice.
3459-3827-6875v2
The Company will proceed to call a general meeting of shareholders in compliance with the Corporations Act. Further details of the general meeting will be circulated to shareholders in due course. The Company will keep shareholders informed of developments concerning the requisition received from Mr Wu and his associates.
Alternative offers
On 20 July 2018, the board resolved to establish an independent board committee (comprising the directors Mr Wu and Fountain now seek to remove, being Mr Peter Joseph Burns, Mr Peter Gerard Burns and Ms Dariena Mullan ( IBC )) to evaluate the arrangements proposed by Mr Wu that were briefly discussed in the Third Supplementary Target Statement. The IBC is currently in discussion with Mr Wu concerning his proposal and hopes to be able to resolve the position before issuing the anticipated Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement, however it may be that the position is not capable of being resolved prior to the dispatch of the anticipated Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement.
Takeovers Panel Application
In the course of evaluating Mr Wu’s proposal the IBC became aware of a range of anomalies in relation to Mr Wu’s disclosure of his relevant interest in Bullseye.
It seemed to the IBC that Mr Wu was orchestrating a large number of offshore holders of voting shares in Bullseye. In the circumstances the IBC resolved to instruct Corrs Chambers Westgarth on behalf of Bullseye to prepare and lodge an application to the Takeovers Panel. The IBC felt that this is a situation where the commercial judgement of Panel members was required, to investigate the IBC’s concerns especially as regards the connections between Mr Wu and a range of what seemed to the IBC to be associated parties who were seeking to control or influence the composition of Bullseye’s board or the conduct of Bullseye’s affairs.
Progress on the proposed meeting
As discussed above, it is now anticipated that a Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement will be dispatched to Bullseye Shareholders in the week commencing 31 July 2018. As previously foreshadowed, the Explanatory Statement will include detailed disclosure on the implications of approving the Proposed Transactions (including the relevant disadvantages and risks).
