BUSINESS ACTION DATE DAY
change in their details of holding
Reasons for the consolidation
The number of Shares presently on issue is 817,921,866 due to historical equity-based capital raisings and corporate transactions.
The share consolidation will result in a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company and a share price more appealing to a wider range of investors within Australia and globally, particularly institutional investors and particularly in preparation for the Company to enter into the arrangements announced to the ASX on 19 March and 8 April 2015.
Effect of the consolidation
If the proposed share consolidation is approved by shareholders, the number of the Company’s shares on issue will be reduced from 817,921,866 to 3,271,688.
As the consolidation applies equally to all of the Company’s shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of the Company’s shares (subject only to the rounding of fractions). It follows that the consolidation will have no material effect on the percentage interest of each individual shareholder in the Company.
The aggregate value of each shareholder’s holding (and the Company’s market capitalisation) should not materially change – other than minor changes as a result of rounding – as a result of the share consolidation alone (and assuming no other market movement or impacts occur).
2. RESOLUTION – APPROVAL OF PLACEMENT OF SHARES
Subject to Resolution 1 being passed, the Company is seeking shareholder approval for the issue of 6,666,667 shares (i.e. the number of shares to be issued post consolidation) at $0.075 (7.5 cents) per share (i.e. at a post consolidation price) for the purpose of additional working capital.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company may not issue securities in any twelve (12) month period which, when aggregated with the value of the other securities issued within that twelve (12) month period, exceeds fifteen per cent (15%) of the value of ordinary shares on issue at the beginning of the twelve (12) month period, unless the issue falls within one (1) of the nominated exceptions or the prior approval of members of the Company in the general meeting is obtained.
In compliance with Listing Rule 7.3, shareholders are as advised as follows:
-
(a) the total number of securities that may be issued is 6,666,667 ordinary shares;
-
(b) shares will be issued to various shareholders that qualify under section 708 of the Corporations Act;
-
(c) the shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.075 (7.5 cents) per share raising gross proceeds before costs of $500,000;
-
(d) the funds will be used in the following way for working capital generally:
| USE OF FUNDS | PROPOSED AMOUNT |
|---|---|
| Working Capital 2014-15 Audit Outstanding legal costs |
$25,000 $25,000 $10,000 |

-
(e) subject to Resolution 1 being passed and once the consolidation has been effected, the shares will be issued for cash and will be issued following the Shareholders meeting at which this Resolution 2 is passed and in any event not later than three (3) months following the Meeting; and
-
(f) the Ordinary Shares will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.
3. RESOLUTION – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR PLACEMENT OF SHARES – 8 DECEMBER 2014
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any twelve (12) month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity, if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that twelve (12) month period.
Accordingly, the prior placement of 44,000,000 Ordinary Shares were issued within the Company’s 15% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies a previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) the issue of those securities will be deemed to have been approved with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
This Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the prior placement of 44,000,000 Ordinary Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4. The effect of Shareholders passing this Resolution 3, by ratifying the prior placement, will be to restore the Company’s ability to issue securities within the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 during the next twelve (12) months, without obtaining prior Shareholder approval.
9
Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue of shares under the prior placement:

-
(e) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4. RESOLUTION – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR PLACEMENT OF SHARES – 13 MAY 2015
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any twelve (12) month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity, if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that twelve (12) month period.
Accordingly, the prior placement of 60,000,000 Ordinary Shares were issued within the Company’s 15% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies a previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) the issue of those securities will be deemed to have been approved with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
This Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the prior placement of 60,000,000 Ordinary Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4. The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4, by ratifying the prior placement, will be to restore the Company’s ability to issue securities within the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 during the next twelve (12) months, without obtaining prior Shareholder approval.
Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue of shares under the prior placement:
