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 which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – PLACEMENT
1.1 General
On 3 May 2013, the Company lodged with ASIC an entitlement issue and placement prospectus ( Prospectus ) for:
-
(a) a non-renounceable entitlement issue of one (1) new Share for every three (3) Shares held by Eligible Shareholders at an issue price of $0.015 per Share to raise up to $1,373,780 (together with one (1) free attaching option exercisable at $0.06 each on or before 30 September 2018 for every two (2) Shares subscribed for and issued ( New Option )) ( Entitlement Issue ); and
-
(b) the issue by way of placement of 45,792,649 options exercisable at $0.06 each on or before 30 September 2018 at an issue price of $0.001 per option ( Placement Options ) to raise up to $45,793. The Placement Options will be issued to persons nominated by Indian Ocean Capital Pty Ltd ( Placement ). The Placement is conditional upon the Company obtaining shareholder approval in general meeting for the issue of the Placement Options in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions including the approval of holders of ordinary securities, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to issue the Placement Options pursuant to the Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
1.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
-
(a) the maximum number of Placement Options to be issued is 45,792,649;

-
(c) the Placement Options will be issued for $0.001 per Placement Option;
-
(d) the Placement Options will be issued to persons nominated by Indian Ocean Capital Pty Ltd, none of whom will be related parties of the Company;
-
(e) the Placement Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3; and
5
(f)
up to $45,793 will be raised from the Placement, which shall all be applied towards general working capital.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE (2,102,750 SHARES)

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 1.1 above.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month
6
period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 1.1 above.

It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

-
(v) no funds were raised from this issue.
4. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – VARIATION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS
4.1 Variation of Terms and Conditions of the Unlisted Options and Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options – Delete clause relating to Company’s intention not to apply for listing
The Company will apply for Official Quotation of the New Options and the Placement Options to be issued in accordance with the Prospectus. The terms and conditions of the New Options are set out in section 6.2 of the Prospectus and the terms and conditions of the Placement Options in Schedule 3 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
To ensure consistency between:
-
(a) the terms and conditions the Unlisted Options (set out in Schedule 1), Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options (set out in Schedule 2), New Options and Placement Options; and
-
(b) the liquidity of the Unlisted Options, Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options, New Options and Placement Options,
the Company intends to apply for Official Quotation of the Unlisted Options and the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options.
ASX Listing Rule 6.15 requires that all quoted options issued by an entity with the same expiry date must have the same terms.
7
The Unlisted Options and Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options, New Options and Placement Options are all currently exercisable on the same date.
In order for the Unlisted Options and Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options to be quoted the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 6.15 will need to be satisfied.
Clause (h) of the Terms and Conditions of the Unlisted Options and the Terms and Conditions of the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options currently state:
“The Company does not intend to apply for listing of the Options on the ASX.”
The Company wishes to ensure that its application for Official Quotation of the Unlisted Options or the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options is consistent with the terms and conditions of those Options and the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 6.15. To this end, it is proposed that clause (h) of the Terms and Conditions of the Unlisted Options and the Terms and Conditions of the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options be deleted.
4.2 Variation of Terms and Conditions of the Unlisted Options and Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options – Replace clause requiring Company to adjust exercise price
Clause (l) of the Terms and Conditions of the Unlisted Options and the Terms and Conditions of the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options requires the Company to reduce the exercise price of the Unlisted Options and Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 6.22 in the event that a pro rata rights issue is made by the Company.
It is proposed that clause (l) be deleted from the Terms and Conditions of the Unlisted Options and from the Terms and Conditions of the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options and be replaced with the following:
- “Rights Issue: If the Company makes a pro rata issue the exercise price of the Options on issue will not be adjusted.”
The Company has notified holders of Unlisted Options and Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options of the proposed variation of the terms and conditions of the options and requested that each optionholder enter into a deed of variation agreeing to the changes described in sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Explanatory Statement ( Deed of Variation ).
The Entitlement Issue set out in the Prospectus constitutes a pro rata rights issue that would trigger a reduction in the exercise price of the Unlisted Options and the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options contemplated under clause (l) of the Terms and Conditions of the Unlisted Options and clause (l) of the Terms and Conditions of the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options.
The holders of Unlisted Options and Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options have been expressly notified that the reduction of the exercise price of the options which would be triggered by the completion of the Entitlement Issue will not be made if all relevant optionholders enter into Deeds of Variation and shareholder approval for the changes to the terms and conditions of the options is obtained, notwithstanding the fact that such shareholder approval will not be obtained until after the completion of the Entitlement Issue.
Subject to all holders of Unlisted Options agreeing to vary the terms and conditions of the Unlisted Options as described in sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Explanatory Statement, the effect of Resolution 4 is to:
8
-
(a) comply with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 6.15 and remove any potential inconsistency between the Terms and Conditions of the Unlisted Options and the application for Official Quotation; and
-
(b) allow the Company to make pro rata rights issues (including the issue contemplated under the Prospectus) without the requirement to adjust the exercise price of the Unlisted Options.
Subject to all holders of Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options agreeing to vary the terms and conditions of the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options as described in sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Explanatory Statement, the effect of Resolution 5 is to:
-
(a) comply with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 6.15 and remove any potential inconsistency between the Terms and Conditions of the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options and the application for Official Quotation; and
-
(b) allow the Company to make pro rata rights issues (including the issue contemplated under the Prospectus) without the requirement to adjust the exercise price of the Employee Incentive (Series 1) Options.
ASX Listing Rule 6.23 sets out rules which apply to changes affecting options. ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that a change which is not prohibited under ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3 can only be made if holders of ordinary securities approve the change. The changes contemplated under Resolutions 4 and 5 are not prohibited under ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3 and therefore require approval to comply with ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4.

-
(m) Amendments : Despite anything else contained in these terms to the contrary, the terms and conditions may be changed by the Company to the extent it reasonably considers to be necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules, particularly as they may apply to a reconstruction or reorganisation of the capital of the Company at the time of reorganisation or reconstruction.
