Explanatory Statement

 

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company's General Meeting.

 

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company that is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.

 

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary. Capitalised terms defined within this Notice of General Meeting but which are not defined in the Glossary also apply within this Notice of General Meeting.

 

ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS

 

Background

 

The Company successfully completed an underwritten Australian Rights Issue at the end of October 2019 raising approximately $4.5 million (before expenses).

 

As outlined at that time and in subsequent announcements, the Company also intends to raise additional capital (Proposed Additional Capital Raising). That additional capital is required for working capital and for the Company to maintain its capital adequacy and listing on NASDAQ.

 

In order to provide flexibility for the Company to raise such additional capital in excess of its capacity limit under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, the Company sought shareholder approval for a possible US retail and institutional capital at the November 2019 annual general meeting (November 2019 AGM).

 

As at the date of issue of this notice, the Company has not proceeded with that Proposed Additional Capital Raising with Aegis Credit Corp as (i) the Company has access to the $4.5 million raised in October 2019; and (ii) the Company is monitoring stock market conditions as to the best time for raising additional capital and to minimise dilution to existing shareholders - especially with the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Market conditions still remain very challenging for a capital raising.

 

The shareholder approval of the Proposed Additional Capital Raising at the November 2019 AGM approval has now expired; and the Board wishes to have shareholders renew the Company's capacity to undertake the Proposed Additional Capital Raising again at this upcoming EGM meeting - in that way this would give the Company the flexibility to conduct the Proposed Additional Capital Raising (including without limitation in the US under its NASDAQ listing or to wholesale investors under section 708 of the Corporations Act) at any time up to 3 months after this EGM.

 

There are a number of resolutions to be considered by shareholders at this EGM - all of which relate to capital raising intentions of the Company and are designed to give the Company flexibility -

 

·Resolution 1 is to ratify prior allotments (to refresh the Company's capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1);

 

·Resolution 2 provides the Company with capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to pursue a Proposed Additional Capital Raising in the next 3 months if market conditions are right; and

 

·Resolution 3 provides the Company with flexibility under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 to invite Directors to take up additional Shares to support the Company.

 

Your Board believes this flexibility to raise capital (potentially by a number of different structures) is very important in the current market conditions and seeks shareholder support.

Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

 

Background

 

On 30 October 2019, 250,000,000 Unlisted Options were issued to the underwriters and sub-underwriters of the Company’s Non-Renounceable Rights Issue announced to the market on 4 October 2019 under Listing Rule 7.1. The options were issued for nil consideration.

 

Why approval is being sought under Listing Rule 7.4

 

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to the specified exceptions under Listing Rule 7.2, issue or agree to issue securities during any 12 month period in excess of 15% of the number of Ordinary Shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period, without shareholder approval.

 

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1, by permitting the ratification of a previous issue of securities which was not made under a prescribed exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with prior shareholder approval, provided that the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

 

If shareholders of a company approve the ratification of a previous issue of securities at a general meeting, those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

 

The effect of ratification in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 is the reinstatement of the Company's maximum capacity to issue further securities up to 15% of the Shares on issue under Listing Rule 7.1, if required, in the next 12 months without requiring Shareholder approval. The Directors believe it is in the best interests of the Company that the Company maintain its ability to issue up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company under Listing Rule 7.1.

 

Information required to be provided to Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.5

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, which contains requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to Shareholders in respect of Resolution 1:

 

The number of securities issued 250,000,000 Unlisted Options were issued.
The price at which the securities were issued The options were issued for nil consideration.
The terms of the securities Each Unlisted Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share in the Company at an exercise price of $0.008 and will expire on 20 October 2022 and were otherwise issued on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A.
The names of the persons to whom the entity issued the securities The Options were issued to the underwriters and sub-underwriters of the Company’s Non-Renounceable Rights Issue in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
The use of the funds raised No funds were raised from the issue of Options.
The date the securities were or will be issued 30 October 2019

Recommendation

 

For the reasons above, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

 

Resolution 2 – Approval of proposed placement to sophisticated and institutional investors

 

Background

 

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the proposed placement, being the issue of up to 2.5 billion Shares. The issue price per Share under the Proposed Additional Capital Raising will be determined by the Company, but in any event the price will not be less than 80% of the volume weighted average price of Shares on ASX over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded on ASX before the date of the issue of Shares under the Proposed Placement.

 

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

 

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

 

(a)Formula for calculating the number of Shares to be issued under the Proposed Placement

 

Approval is being sought for the issue of up to 2.5 billion Shares at an issue price per Share to be determined by the Company, but in any event the price will not be less than 80% of the volume weighted average price of Shares on ASX over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded on ASX before the date of the issue of Shares under the Proposed Placement.

 

(b)The date for issuing the Shares under the Proposed Placement

 

As stated above, no issue date has yet been determined by the Company, the Shares under the Proposed Placement will be issued to retail investors and institutional investors within three (3) months of the date of this Meeting.

 

(c)The issue price of the Shares under the Proposed Placement

 

The issue price per Share under the Proposed Placement will be determined by the Company, but in any event it will not be less than 80% of the volume weighted average price of Shares on ASX over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded on ASX before the date of the issue of Shares under the Proposed Placement.

 

(d)The persons to whom the Company will issue the Shares under the Proposed Placement

 

The Shares under the Proposed Placement will be placed to exempt investors under section 708 of the Corporations Act as determined by the Company, or to retail and institutional investors introduced by the Company's placement agent in the United States. None of the prospective retail and institutional investors will be related parties (within the meaning of section 228 of the Corporations Act) of the Company.

 

(e)The terms of the Shares issued under the Proposed Placement

 

Each Share issued under the Proposed Placement will be a fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares issued by the Company, with the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements from issue.

 

7

 

 

(f)The intended use of funds raised

 

The funds to be received from the allotment of the Shares are to be used for general working capital necessary to maintain its capital adequacy and listing on NASDAQ.

 

(g)If the securities are being issued under an agreement, a summary of any other materials terms of the agreement.

 

The Company has not entered any agreements for the issue of Shares.

 

(h)If the securities are being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover, information about the reverse takeover.

 

The securities are not being issued to fund a reverse takeover.

 

Directors’ recommendation

 

For the reasons above, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

 

Resolution 3 – Approval of proposed issue of Shares to Directors

 

As outlined above, the Company wishes to maintain flexibility on potential capital raisings in the current challenging market conditions.

 

As part of this flexibility the Directors have indicated that in order to demonstrate support for the Company's capital raising efforts, they would be prepared to subscribe for additional Shares in the Company either as part of a capital raising with non-associated third parties or, if the Company's circumstances require, as a stand-alone investment in the Company (if needed). The issue price per Share under Resolution 3 will be determined by the Company, but in any event it will not be less than 80% of the volume weighted average price of Shares on ASX over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded on ASX before the date of the issue of the relevant Shares.

 

The Company is seeking shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 but also the Board intends that any such issue of Shares to the Directors (or any of them) must be at an arm's length price and therefore no shareholder approval is sought under Part 2E of the Corporations Act.

 

If Resolution 3 is approved, the Board could issue shares to some or all of the Directors within 1 month after the date of the EGM.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not, without the approval of ordinary shareholders, issue equity securities to a related party.
