  • Resolution 5 - Employee Share Scheme buy-back

6.1 Background

The Company's shareholders approved the terms of the Company's Loan Share Plan on 9 November 2017. The notice of meeting and explanatory memorandum dated 9 October 2017 (sections 8.1 to 8.4 of the explanatory memorandum in particular) summarised the terms of the Loan Share Plan.

On 14 December 2018, the Company issued a total of 14,424,000 LSP Shares, comprising 8,655,000 LSP Shares to the former Managing Director, Mr Craig Ricato and 5,769,000 LSP Shares to the former Chief Operating Officer, Mr Warren Leitao (together the Executives), each at a deemed acquisition price of $0.104 per LSP Share. The acquisition amounts for the LSP Shares were funded by way of a loan from the Company to the Executives' nominated entities, for the purposes of enabling them to acquire and hold LSP Shares (LSP Loans).

Under the terms of the Loan Share Plan and loan agreements for the relevant LSP Shares, if either Executive ceases to be an employee of the Group all unvested LSP Shares must be compulsorily divested by the Executives and the Company may buy-back the LSP Shares issued under the Loan Share Plan. Messrs Ricato and Leitao resigned from the Company on 30 September 2019 and 15 October 2019 respectively.

At the Company's 2019 Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2019, shareholders approved a resolution to buy-back the 14,424,000 LSP Shares issued to the Executives (Leaver Shares). However, the requisite ASIC filings were not made within the prescribed timeframe and the buy-back did not proceed. Accordingly, the Company is again seeking approval to buy-back the Leaver shares in consideration for the Company extinguishing the LSP Loans.

6.2 Corporations Act requirements

Subject to and in accordance with provisions of Part 2J.1 Division 2 of the Corporations Act, the Company may purchase its own shares on such terms and at such times as may be determined by the Directors from time to time.

The Corporations Act rules relating to share buy-backs are designed to protect the interests of shareholders and creditors by:

ξ

add e ing he i k f he an ac i n leading

he c m an in l enc ;

  • seeking to ensure fairness between the shareholders of the company; and
  • requiring the company to disclose all material information.

In particular, section 257A of the Corporations Act requires that a company may only buy-back its own shares if the buy-back does not materially prejudice the company's ability to pay its creditors and the company follows the procedure in Division 2 of Part 2J.1 of the Corporations Act.

Under section 9 of the Corporations Act, an 'employee share scheme buy-back' means a buy-back under a scheme that:

  • has, as its purpose, the acquisition of shares in a company by, or on behalf of employees of the company or a related body corporate or directors of the company or a related body corporate who hold a salaried employment or office in the company or a related body corporate; and
  • has been approved by members of the company.

A buy-back by the Company of the LSP Shares is an employee share scheme buy-back for the purposes of section 9 of the Corporations Act.

Under section 257B(4) of the Corporations Act, unless shareholder approval is obtained, the Company is limited to buying back LSP Shares under the Loan Share Plan up to 10% of the smallest number of shares on issue at any time during the last 12 month period (10/12 Limit).

Based on the smallest number of Shares on issue during the last 12 months, being 120,634,341, the Company is restricted under the 10/12 Limit to buying a maximum of 12,063,434 LSP Shares.

Resolution 5 therefore seeks Shareholder approval to buy-back the Leaver Shares in accordance with the terms of the Loan Share Plan in the 2 month period following the Annual General Meeting as an employee share scheme buy-back over the 10/12 Limit (Buy-Back).

6.3 Terms of the Buy-Back

The Buy-Back is conditional on shareholder approval.

If Resolution 5 is approved by shareholders, the Company will, within 2 months of the date of the Annual General Meeting, buy-back the Leaver Shares from the Executives in consideration for the Company extinguishing the Executives' outstanding LSP Loans.

After completion of the Buy-Back, the Executives' LSP Loans for the Leaver Shares will be fully discharged and the Executives will not have any liability to the Company in respect of the Leaver Shares or the LSP Loan.

No cash is payable by the Company to the Executives under the Buy-Back.

Immediately after the Leaver Shares are transferred to the Company, the Leaver Shares will be cancelled in accordance with the buy-back procedure in section 257H of the Corporations Act.

The Company will announce to the ASX when the Leaver Shares are cancelled and the Company has completed the Buy-Back.

10

  1. Financial effect of the Buy-Back
    The proposed Buy-Back will have no effect on the Company's cash reserves as there is no cash consideration payable by the Company.
    The Leaver Shares were recorded in the Company's financial report as options which vest over time. During the vesting period, the fair value of the options at grant date is amortised through the Company's profit and loss based on the number of years in the vesting period.
    The Company recorded a write back of the previously amortised option value related to the Loan Share Plan in its FY20 Financial Report. Accordingly, if the Company buys-back all of the Leaver Shares and cancels those shares with effect from the date following the Annual General Meeting, there will be no impact on the Company's profit and loss in FY21.
    The Directors believe that the Buy-Back will not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors as there is no cash consideration payable by the Company.
    On completion of the Buy-Back, the contributed equity of the Company will remain unchanged as no amount was received from the Executives at the time of grant of the Leaver Shares.
  2. Effect of buy-back on capital structure
    As at the date of this notice of meeting, the Company has 120,634,341 shares on issue, if the Buy- Back is approved and implemented (and assuming that the Company does not issue any new shares prior to the Buy-Back), the Buy-Back will:
    1. reduce and cancel 14,424,000 shares on issue held by the Executives' or their nominees (which equates to 11.9% of the current issued capital of the Company);
    2. reduce the Company's total issued shares to 106,210,341 shares;
    3. have no effect on the number of shares held by shareholders (other than the Executives and their nominees); and
    4. except as specified above, not result in any material change in the control of the Company.

Other than the Executives and their nominees, there will be no dilutionary effect on other shareholders as a result of the Buy-Back. The ownership interest of shareholders in the Company will increase as a result of the Buy-Back.

  1. Advantages of the Buy-Back
    Advantages of the Buy-Back include the following:
    1. there is no cash outlay required by the Company under the Buy-Back, accordingly, there will be no reduction of its cash reserves and will not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors;
    2. the reduction and cancellation of the Leaver Shares will reduce the total number of ordinary shares on issue in the Company and therefore increase the ownership interest of the Company's shareholders; and
    3. by enabling the Company to buy-back the Leaver Shares, the Company is not required to sell those Leaver Shares or to nominate a third party as transferee of the Leaver Shares.
  2. Disadvantages of the Buy-Back
    The Directors are not aware of any material disadvantages of the Buy-Back.
    The reduction and cancellation of the Leaver Shares will reduce the total number of ordinary shares on issue in the Company and therefore may reduce the Company's market capitalisation, however, the Directors do not believe that this would impair the Company's ability to conduct its business.

11

  1. If Resolution 5 is not approved
    If Resolution 5 is not approved by the Company's Shareholders, the Company will be restricted to buying back a maximum of 12,063,434 Leaver Shares within the 10/12 Limit.
    The additional 2,360,566 Leaver Shares held by the Executives (Excess Shares), would either need to be sold by the Company or transferred to a person nominated by the Company in consideration of the Company extinguishing the LSP Loan. Where the Excess Shares are sold or transferred, rather than bought-back by the Company, the Excess Shares will not be cancelled by the Company and the Company's share capital in respect of those Excess Shares will not reduce.
  2. Interests of Directors
    None of the Directors hold any LSP Shares.
  3. Current market price
    The closing price of the Company's shares on 13 October 2020 was $0.03. The highest and lowest market sales prices for the Company's shares on the ASX during the previous 3 months were as follows:

Month

6.11 No other material information

Except as set out above, in the opinion of the Directors there is no other information material to the making of a decision on how to vote on Resolution 5, being information that is within the knowledge of any Director which has not been previously disclosed to Shareholders.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

  • Resolution 6 - Approval of Enhanced Placement Capacity

7.1 Listing Rule 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue shares up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting (Enhanced Placement Capacity). This Enhanced Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's ordinary 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A as it has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million and is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative).

If approved, the effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company to issue shares under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Enhanced Placement Period (defined below) without shareholder approval in addition to the Company's ordinary 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Directors consider the Enhanced Placement Capacity appropriate as it would enable the Company to raise additional funding to support its activities, including (if required) for ongoing working capital purposes as the Company actively seeks acquisition and corporate combination opportunities.

12

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue shares under the Enhanced Placement Capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the Company's ordinary 15% placement capacity limit on issuing shares without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

  1. Calculation of the Enhanced Placement Capacity
    The actual number of shares that the Company will have capacity to issue under the Enhanced Placement Capacity will be calculated at the date of issue of the shares in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
  2. Minimum Issue Price
    The shares issued under the Enhanced Placement Capacity must be issued for cash consideration per share which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of shares in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:
    1. the date on which the price at which the shares are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the shares; or
    2. if the shares are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph 7.3(a) above, the date on which the shares are issued.
  3. Enhanced Placement Period
    Shareholder approval of the Enhanced Placement Capacity is valid, and shares will only be issued, from the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
    1. the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained (which is expected to be 26 November 2020);
    2. the time and date of the Company's next Annual General Meeting; or
    3. the time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

(Enhanced Placement Period).

7.5 Dilution of existing shareholders Dilution risks

If Resolution 6 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues shares under the Enhanced Placement Capacity, the existing shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table.

Economic risks

There is a risk that the market price for the Company's shares may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the shares than on the date of this meeting. The shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's shares on the issue date. If shares are issued at a discount to the net tangible asset value per share (NTA) there may be a negative impact on NTA.

Potential dilution of existing ordinary shareholders

The below table shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of shares and the current number of ordinary securities 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:

  • 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

13

securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require shareholder approval or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders' meeting; and

  • two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared based on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of shares available under the Enhanced Placement Capacity.
  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements under the Enhanced Placement Capacity.
  • The table shows only the effect of issues of shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the Company's ordinary 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
  • The issue price is $0.03, being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 19 October 2020.

7.6 Other specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the Enhanced Placement Capacity:

  1. The Company may issue shares under the Enhanced Placement Capacity in order to provide additional funding to support the Company's activities, for example, funds raised may be applied towards the Company's working capital as it actively seeks acquisition and corporate combination opportunities.
  2. The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Enhanced Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of shares will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:
    1. the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
    2. the effect of the issue of the shares on the control of the Company;
    3. the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

14

    1. advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
  1. The allottees under the Enhanced Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders and/ or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
  2. The Company previously obtained shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2018.
  3. The Company has not issued any shares in the 12 months preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting.
  4. A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the shares. No existing shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
