4. Ratification of prior issue of Shares
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.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows for subsequent Shareholder approval if the Company did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue and the holders of ordinary Shares subsequently approve it.
Although Shareholder approval was not required for the issue of the Shares the subject of this Resolution 5, the Company now seeks Shareholder approval for their issues in the manner provided by ASX Listing Rule 7.4 because this will enable the Company to retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requirements
On 13 August 2015, the Company issued 1,040,000 Shares to professional and sophisticated investors. It issued a further 733,334 Shares on 19 October 2015 to professional and sophisticated investors at $0.075.
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:
-
(a) A total of 1,773,334 Shares were issued and allotted;
-
(b) The issue price was $0.075 per Share;
-
(c) The Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares except they are subject to a holding lock at ASX’s discretion;
-
(d) The Shares were allotted and issued to sophisticated and professional investors who are not related to the Company arranged and facilitated by the Company’s broker, JB Advisory Pty Ltd. JB Advisory is a Corporate Authorised Representative of BR Securities limited, AFSL 456663; and
-
(e) The Funds raised from the issue of the Shares were used for working capital including due diligence on the NHS transaction.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

GOLDSEARCH LIMITED ACN: 006 645 754
5. Approval of Additional Share Placement Capacity
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its Annual General Meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( Additional Placement Capacity ). For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A an ‘eligible entity’ is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. Goldsearch Limited is an ‘eligible entity’. The Additional Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, as such, if the Additional Placement Capacity is approved, the Directors will be allowed to issue equity securities of up to 25% of the Company’s issued share capital without prior approval from shareholders.
The Company seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity, should the need arise.
As a special resolution at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting must be in favour of the resolution for it to be passed.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Requirements
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 the issue price for each security issued under the Additional Placement Capacity will not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in that class over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date above, the date on which the securities are issued.
Equity securities that may be issued under listing rule 7.1A will only be in an existing quoted class of securities.
The issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity may result in voting dilution of existing ordinary shareholders (as shown in the table below). There is also the risk that:
-
the market price for equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.
Table 1 below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculate in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities quoted on ASX for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% against the current market price.

Funds Raised |
$117,119 | $234,238 | $351,357 |
The above table is based on the following assumptions:
-
The number of shares on issue (variable “A”) is calculated as 11,711,910, being all the fully paid ordinary shares on issue
-
The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the Additional Placement Capacity.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
The table shows only the issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity and not under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity includes only Shares.
-
The issue price of $0.10 was the closing price of shares on ASX on 29 October 2015.
Equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity may be issued until the earlier of:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
the date of approval by ordinary shareholders of a significant change to the Company’s activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or the date of approval by ordinary shareholders of a disposal of a major asset under ASX Listing Rule 11.2.
To be clear, any approval of the Additional Placement Capacity at this Annual General Meeting will cease to be valid in the event that ordinary shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2. For example, should Shareholders vote at a subsequent General Meeting to approve the National Health Services (NHS) Transaction, then any placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A will no longer be valid.
The Company may issue equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
- non-cash consideration: for the acquisition of new assets and investments (in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3); or
Notice of Annual General Meeting
Page 9 of 12
GOLDSEARCH LIMITED
ACN: 006 645 754
- cash consideration: to raise funds for the exploration and development of the Company’s existing assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including assets associated with such acquisition), to repay debt or to fund working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity.
The Company’s allocation policy for issues under the Additional Placement Capacity is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of the equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
the purpose of the issue;
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including rights issues or other issues in which existing shareholders may participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from the Company’s advisors.
As the Company has no current plans to undertake a new capital raising, the allottees under the Additional Placement Capacity have not yet been determined but if such an exercise was undertaken, allottees may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
The Company previously sought and obtained shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the immediately prior Annual General Meeting held 28 November 2014. In the preceding 12 months the Company has made a number of new issues for a total of 8,939,293 new fully paid ordinary shares on a consolidated basis (the Company undertook a 1 for 250 share consolidation during the period as approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting held 16 July 2015). These share represent an increase of 322% of the fully paid ordinary shares on issue, on a consolidated basis, 12 months ago.
Funds raised from the new share issues have been spent in the following manner:
| Funds Raised Exploration Audit Fees Legal Fees Listing Fees Share Registry Rent Accounting and Secretarial Insurances Directors Fees Underwriting Placement General Administration TOTAL Expenses BANK BALANCE |
$150,063 $42,134 $86,218 $18,483 $41,431 $22,124 $30,800 $22,309 $51,797 $45,298 $107,444 |
$805,280 $618,101 |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| $187,179 |
The remaining funds (Bank Balance) will be used as working capital.
Most recently, on 19 October 2015 the Company placed 733,333 fully paid ordinary shares to sophisticated and professional investors at a price of $0.075 per share for total consideration of $55,000 in cash. This represented a discount of 25% to the closing price on the day of issue. These shares were issued using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A and are subject to escrow at ASX’s discretion.

On 12 August 2015, the Company placed 7,706,667 fully paid ordinary shares to sophisticated and professional investors at a price of $0.075 per share for total consideration of $578,000 in cash.
