EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Resolution 1: Ratification of Prior Share Issue
Background
The Company is seeking shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 83,407,037 fully paid ordinary shares to professional and sophisticated investors as part of a Placement announced and issued on 13 December 2016.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that a company may reinstate its capacity to issue up to 15% of the ordinary securities on issue in a 12 month period if shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:
the total number of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company that were issued are 83,407,037;
the Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.027 (2.7 cents) per share;
the Shares allotted and issued rank equally with the existing Shares on issue;
the Shares were allotted and issued to professional and sophisticated investors; and
the funds raised from the issue were used primarily for finalising the acquisition of Phone Names, and on-going working capital requirements.
Ensure that each shareholder's proportionate interest in the Company remains unchanged, subject to rounding up of fractional entitlements to the next whole number of shares, and as the ongoing shares will be listed there are no adverse taxation consequences envisaged although Shareholders should seek individual advice; and
Reduce the number of ST1 shares from 920,251,253 to approximately 184,050,426 representing an 80% reduction in the number of shares on issue thereby making the number of shares on issue more manageable and at an expected share-price that investment parties would feel more comfortable with.
The share consolidation will take effect from 17 March 2017.
The share consolidation requires shareholder approval by ordinary resolution.
