4. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES
4.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue
2,000,000 Options (Related Party Options) to Robert Vassie and Mark Turner (or
their nominees) (Related Parties) on the terms and conditions set out below.
The terms of the Related Party Options were negotiated at the time the Directors
were appointed on 1 August 2017.
Resolutions 3 and 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of the Related Party
Options to the Related Parties.
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Section 208 of the Corporations Act states that a public company cannot give a
‘financial benefit’ (including an issue of shares or rights) to a ‘related party’ of the
Company unless one of the exceptions set out in section 210 to 216 of the
Corporations Act apply, or the holders of ordinary securities have approved the
giving of the financial benefit to the related party in a general meeting.
As Directors, Robert Vassie and Mark Turner are related parties of the Company
within the meaning specified under section 228 of the Corporations Act. Further,
the grant of the Related Party Options constitutes a financial benefit within the
meaning of section 229 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder
approval is sought under section 208 of the Corporations Act to permit issue of the
Related Party Options under Resolutions 3 and 4 to the Related Parties as related
parties of the Company.
4.3 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the
Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided
in relation to the proposed grant of Related Party Options:
(i) the related parties to whom the proposed Resolutions would permit
financial benefits to be given are Robert Vassie and Mark Turner and they
are related parties by virtue of being Directors;
(ii) the nature of the financial benefit is the issue of the Related Party Options
to the Related Parties;
(iii) the Related Party Options will be issued to Robert Vassie (or his nominee)
and Mark Turner (or his nominee);
(iv) the maximum number of Related Party Options (being the nature of the
financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is
2,000,000 as follows:
(A) 1,000,000 Related Party Options to Robert Vassie (or his nominee);
and
(B) 1,000,000 Related Party Options to Mark Turner (or his nominee).
(v) the Related Party Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later
than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the
extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing
Rules) and it is intended that all of the Related Party Options will be issued
on the same date;
(vi) the Related Party Options will be granted for nil cash consideration,
accordingly no funds will be raised in connection with the issue of the
Related Party Options;
(vii) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in
Schedule 1;
(viii) the value of the Related Party Options independently valued by Stantons
International Securities and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule
3;
(ix) using the pricing methodology, and based on the variables and
assumptions, set out in Schedule 3, Stantons International Securities has
calculated the estimated value of each Related Party Option to be
between $0.2177 and $0.2807 per Related Party Option, or an aggregate
value of between $217,700.00 and $280,700.00 per Related Party;
(x) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company
are set out below:
Related Party Shares Options
Robert Vassie Nil Nil
Mark Turner Nil Nil
(xi) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related
Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration
and emoluments for the current financial year are set out below:
Related Party Current Financial Previous
Year Financial Year
Robert Vassie $56,940* Nil
Mark Turner $56,940* Nil
* This is an annual figure. Both Related Parties commenced on 1 August 2017.
(xii) if the Related Party Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised,
a total of 2,000,000 Shares would be issued. Assuming the maximum of
Shares are issued under Resolution 2 prior to the Meeting, the exercise of
the Related Party Options will increase the number of Shares on issue from
503,280,941 to 505,280,941 (assuming that no other Options are exercised
and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of
existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of
approximately 0.4%, comprising approximately 0.2% by Robert Vassie and
0.2% by Mark Turner.
The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options
would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are
exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised
and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the
exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived
cost to the Company.
As at the date of this Notice, the Shares are trading on ASX at a price
greater than the exercise price of the Related Party Options. The Board
resolved to issue the Related Party Options, subject to Shareholder
approval, on the terms and conditions set out in this Notice at a time
when the Shares were trading on ASX at a price lower than the exercise
price of the Related Party Options, but Shareholder approval has not
been able to be obtained until the date of the Meeting. Offer letters to
Robert Vassie and Mark Turner which included the issue of options
(subject to shareholder approval) were sent on 25 July 2017 when the
closing price of Shares on ASX was 19 cents (i.e. the exercise price then
represented an increase in the closing price).
(xiii) As at the date of this Notice, the Company had 460,423,798 Shares on
issue and 29,770,000 Options on issue. There were no other equity based
securities on issue as at the date of this Notice. The trading history of the
Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out
below:
Price Date
Highest 40.0 cents 20 October 2017
Lowest 7.7 cents 24 November 2016
Last 34.0 cents 3 November 2017
(xiv) the Board acknowledges the grant of Related Party Options to Robert
Vassie and Mark Turner is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) as
published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the
Board considers the grant of Related Party Options to Robert Vassie and
Mark Turner reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in
paragraph (xvi);
(xv) the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to the
Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component
in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and
reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as
Directors;
(xvi) each of the Directors, other than Robert Vassie in relation to Resolution 3
and Mark Turner in relation to Resolution 4 (who each decline to make a
recommendation due to their respective material personal interests in the
outcome of those respective Resolutions) recommend that Shareholders
vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4 for the following reasons:
(A) the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties will align
the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;
(B) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and
appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as
the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to
spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations
than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were
given to the Related Parties; and
(C) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity
costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in
granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;
(xvii) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the
experience of each other Related Party, the current market practices
when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as
well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Related Party Options;
and
(xviii) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably
required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision as to whether
it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 3 and 4.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the
Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under
ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Options to the
Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s
annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
4.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained before
an entity issues, or agrees to issue, equity securities to a related party, or a person
whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that
approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the grant of the Related Party Options involves the issue of securities to a
related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule
10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the
exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current
circumstances.
4.5 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following
information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4:
(a) the Related Party Options will be granted to Robert Vassie (or his
nominee) and Mark Turner (or his nominee);
(b) the maximum number of Related Party Options to be issued to the
Related Parties is 2,000,000, as follows:
(i) 1,000,000 Related Party Options to Robert Vassie(or his nominee);
and
(ii) 1,000,000 Related Party Options to Mark Turner (or his nominee);
(c) the Related Party Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later
than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the
extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing
Rules) and it is intended that all of the Related Party Options will be issued
on the same date;
(d) the Related Party Options will be issued for nil cash consideration,
accordingly no funds will be raised; and
(e) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in
Schedule 1.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Related
Party Options if approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the
grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties (or their nominees) will not
affect the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing
Rule 7.1.
5. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – AGENT OPTIONS
5.1 General
On 19 July 2017, the Company issued 8,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.30625
per Option on or before 19 July 2020 (Agent Options) to Cong Ming Limited and
their nominees as consideration for acting as agent in respect of the Company’s
prepayment and offtake agreement with Burwill Holdings Limited, as follows:
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the
issue of those Agent Options (Option 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.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the
previous issue of securities made without prior approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1
(provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) the issue is
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.
5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
