Directors’ Recommendation

ITEMS 4, 5 and 6 – Ratification and approval of the previous issue of Shares by the Company
Background

The shares were issued to satisfy a fee as part of a strategic agreement with Macquarie Bank Limited announced to the ASX on 19 February 2016.
Item 5 seeks Shareholder ratification for the issue by the Company of 2,000,000 Shares to 255 Finance at an issue price of $0.03 per share on the 16 August 2017 ( 255 Finance Shares ). The shares were issued as part of a funding agreement with 255 Finance announced to the ASX on 9 August 2017.

The issue of the Macquarie Shares, 255 Finance Shares and the STI Shares were made in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Resolutions proposed by Items 4, 5 and 6 are separate resolutions.

ITEM 7 – Additional 10% Placement Capacity
General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its AGM to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ). If Shareholders approve the resolution in Item 7, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).
The effect of the resolution in Item 7 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the meeting, without Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
The resolution in Item 7 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of this resolution for it to be passed.
10% Placement Capacity
Page 8
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to seek Shareholder approval at its AGM to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) Is not included in the A&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) Has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the A&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation as at 3 October 2017 of $13,677,525.
The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has three classes of Equity Securities on issue, being quoted ordinary shares, unquoted options and unquoted performance rights.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A is outlined in Listing Rule 7.2A.2. This rule provides that Eligible Entities, which have obtained Shareholder approval at an AGM, 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 according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or the date of agreement to issue:
-
(a) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of Shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue Shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval; and
-
(d) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
-
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 issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this resolution.
(a) Minimum Price
-
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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
Page 9
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 (five) ASX trading days of the date in paragraph 6.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid).
(10% Placement Capacity Period).
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If the resolution in Item 7 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
| Number of Shares on Issue |
Dilution | Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price (per Share) |
$0.015 (50% decrease in current market price) |
$0.031 (Current market price) |
$0.060 (100% increase in current market price) |
|
| 407,731,328 (Current Variable A) |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution |
40,733,132 | 40,733,132 | 40,733,132 |
| Funds raised | $611,596 | $1,223,193 | $2,446,387 | |
| 611,596,992 (50% increase in **Variable A) *** |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution |
61,159,699 | 61,159,699 | 61,159,699 |
| Funds raised | $917,395 | $1,834,790 | $3,669,581 | |
| 815,462,656 (100% increase in Variable A)* |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution |
81,546,265 | 81,546,265 | 81,546,265 |
| Funds raised | $1,223,193 | $2,446,387 | $4,892,775 |
Page 10
- The number of shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issue under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
Variable A is 407,731,328, which is the current number of shares on issue (438,925,084) less the shares issued under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval (31,193,756).
-
The market price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 3 October 2017.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of shares under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has issued 38,290,511 Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and not approved by Shareholders at the time of issue.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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%.
-
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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
-
(a) Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for working capital purposes or potential acquisitions; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for services, equipment or product. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3. The minimum issue price limitation as set out in Listing Rule 7.1A .3 applies to issues for non-cash consideration.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
Page 11
(b) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both).
The Company will determine the allottees on a case by case basis at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to factors including but not limited to:
-
(i) The purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) Alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) The effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) The circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) Prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) Advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
(c)
Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its Annual General Meeting held on 17 November 2016. No shares have been issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A since the approval was obtained.
(d) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:
-
(i) A list of the allotted of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
(ii) The information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
(e) Information Required under ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6

How to Vote on Items of Business
All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.
Appointment of Proxy
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.
Signing Instructions for Postal Forms
Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.
Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.
Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
