Both of these major ports are connected to the Abercorn Project by sealed roads.

Full details of the Abercorn Project were set out in the Company’s Announcement dated 13 August 2019.[1]

Zeotech Limited

Completion occurred under the Term Sheet in October 2019 and Abercorn Kaolin became a wholly owned subsidiary of Zeotech ( the Zeotech Parties ).

On 16 October 2019 respectively, Zeotech issued to Goody Investments and Tweed Pet Motels the Class A and Class B Performance Rights.

The Class A Performance Rights milestone was satisfied and the relevant Shares issued to the Abercorn Vendors on 8 July 2020.

The Class B Performance Rights were to vest in the Abercorn Vendors upon completion by Abercorn Kaolin of a scoping study ( Scoping Study ) before 8 August 2022 ( Vesting Condition ) being the last day of the three year term of the Class B Performance Rights ( Performance Rights End Date ).

The Class B Performance Rights expired in accordance with their terms on the Performance Rights End Date as Abercorn Kaolin did not complete a Scoping Study.

Dispute

Following the expiry of the Class B Performance Rights, Goody Investments claimed that the Zeotech Parties breached the Term Sheet by failing to carry out the Scoping Study following the completion of the initial drilling campaign and by the Performance Rights End Date.

The Zeotech Parties denied that they were obligated under the Term Sheet to carry out the Scoping Study by the Performance Rights End Date and that in any event, to the extent to which the Zeotech Parties were obligated to commence the Scoping Study, they did so. Goody Investments claimed that upon satisfaction of the Vesting Condition it was entitled to 23,782,500 Zeotech shares and that due to the Zeotech Parties’ breach of the Term Sheet, it was deprived of these shares.

On 29 August 2022 Goody Investments commenced proceedings in relation to this dispute against Zeotech and Abercorn Kaolin in the Supreme Court of Western Australia ( WA Proceedings ).[3]

Similarly, in August 2022 Tweed Pet Motels claimed that the Zeotech Parties breached the Term Sheet by failing to carry out the Scoping Study following the completion of the initial drilling campaign and by the Performance Rights End Date. The Zeotech Parties denied that it was obligated under the Term Sheet to carry out the Scoping Study by the Performance Rights End Date and that in any event, to the extent to which Zeotech was obligated to commence the Scoping Study, they did so. Tweed Pet Motels claimed that upon satisfaction of the Vesting Condition it was entitled to 15,847,500 Zeotech shares and that due to Zeotech’s breach of the Term Sheet it was deprived of these shares.

On 8 November 2022 Tweed Pet Motels commenced proceedings in relation to its dispute against Zeotech and Abercorn Kaolin in the Supreme Court of Queensland ( Queensland Proceedings ).[4]

On 20 March 2023 Goody Investments, Tweed Pet Motels, Zeotech and Abercorn Kaolin attended a court ordered mediation of the WA Proceedings and the Queensland Proceedings.

On 26 May 2023 Zeotech announced that the mediation had concluded and all parties had executed a final binding and conditional Deed of Settlement and Release ( the Settlement Agreement ).

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Zeotech Parties, Goody Investments and Tweed Pet Motels have reached a mutually agreeable release of all legal claims and the terms upon which both legal proceedings will be discontinued.

The Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Settlement Performance Rights to Goody Investments and Tweed Pet Motels pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. Settlement of both disputes is conditional upon Shareholders approving the issue of the Settlement Performance Rights. If Shareholders do not approve the Resolution, the Settlement Agreement will terminate and the parties will resume the two legal proceedings.

The proposed Resolution is an ordinary resolution and will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote are in favour of the Resolution.

2.2 Key Terms of Settlement Agreement

The key terms of the Settlement Agreement are:

  • a) On the settlement date the parties agree to resolve all matters between them involving the subject matter of the disputes arising from the Agreement. Both legal proceedings will be stayed pending settlement.

  • b) Settlement is conditional upon the Company obtaining shareholder approval to issue the following settlement performance rights ( Settlement Performance Rights ):

  • (i) Goody Investments Pty Ltd – 23,782,500 Settlement Performance Rights; and

  • (ii) Gold Coast Tweed Pet Motels Pty Ltd – 15,847,500 Settlement Performance Rights.

  • c) Settlement is also conditional upon two of the vendors of the Abercorn Project under the Agreement, one of them being Mr Peter Zardo, the Managing Director of the Company and the other being Mr Anthony Paul Sheridan, waiving their rights under the Agreement to be issued any Settlement Performance Rights. None of the other un-associated Abercorn Vendors have executed waivers nor is this a term of the Settlement Agreement. Accordingly, shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 will not be required. Both waivers have been received and this condition has been satisfied. None of the Abercorn Vendors other than Goody Investments and Tweed Pet Motels are receiving any compensation or performance securities, including any Settlement Performance Rights, under the Settlement Agreement.

  • d) The Company will convene a general meeting to consider a resolution to approve the issue of the Settlement Performance Rights as soon as is practicable, which is the purpose of the Resolution.

  • e) If the Resolution is approved, the Company must issue the Settlement Performance Rights to Goody Investments and Tweed Pet Motels. If the Resolution is not passed, then the stay on both legal proceedings will be lifted and both legal proceedings will proceed in accordance with the prescribed timetables.

  • f) The Settlement Performance Rights will vest upon completion of a scoping study on the Abercorn Project. The terms of the Settlement Performance Rights will otherwise have the same terms as the Class B Performance Rights previously issued to Goody Investments and Tweed Pet Motels on the terms and conditions set out in the Schedule.

  • g) In the event that the Settlement Performance Rights have not vested by 31 July 2024, the Company will issue the equivalent number of ordinary fully paid shares as set out in paragraph (b), as this is a contractual obligation under the Settlement Agreement and is a requirement prior to full and final settlement of all the disputes under the Settlement Agreement. At the time of agreeing to the key terms of the Settlement Agreement the Company had the necessary placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • h) the issue of the Settlement Performance Rights are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover;

  • i) On the Settlement Date the Company also agrees to pay to Goody Investments and Tweed Pet Motels the sum of $35,000 plus GST each.

  • j) On the date that the Settlement Performance Rights vest both legal proceedings will be dismissed with no order as to costs and releases will become effective.

2.3 Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

The issue of the Settlement Performance Rights does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the placement capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Settlement Performance Rights.

In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that Zeotech can issue without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If the Resolution is not passed, the Settlement Performance Rights will not be issued and the stay on both legal proceedings will be lifted and both legal proceedings will proceed in accordance with the prescribed timetables.

2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:

  • (a) The maximum number of securities the Company will issue under the Resolution is 39,630,000 Settlement Performance Rights and 39,630,000 Shares on conversion of the Settlement Performance Rights;
