  • if the proxy is not the chairperson of the meeting – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chairperson proxy to chairperson in certain circumstances

Section 250BC provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the company’s members;

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting;

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • y if a record of attendance is made for the meeting – the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • y the proxy does not vote on the resolution, the chairperson of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

The table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • i. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • ii. No Options (including any ASX Quoted Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • iii. 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%.

  • iv. 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 of shares at the date of the Meeting.

  • v. The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • vi. 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 exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • vii. The issue price of shares is A$0.20, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 11 April 2013.

  • c. 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 the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. Shareholder approval will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.

  • d. The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • i. non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resource assets and investments. In such circumstances, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • ii. to raise capital to fund the cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions), exploration and feasibility study costs of existing and new resource assets and/or general working capital.

The company may issue the Equity Securities for noncash consideration.

  • e. The Company’s allocation policy for issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottee or allottees 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. the method of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to rights issues 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; and

  • iv. advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
