Background
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity
Securities up to 10% of their issued share capital over a 12
month period after the annual general meeting at which a
resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by
special resolution (Additional 10% Placement Capacity). The
Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the
Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An entity will be eligible to seek approval under Listing
Rule 7.1A if:
(a) the entity has a market capitalisation of $300 million or
less (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted
on deferred settlement basis); and
(b) the entity is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index.
The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing
Rule 7.1A.
The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the
Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in
accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule
7.1A.2.
The Company is putting Resolution 3 to Shareholders to seek
approval to issue additional Equity Securities under the
Additional 10% Placement Capacity. It is anticipated that
funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the
Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be applied towards
general working capital.
Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to permit the Company to
issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during
the Additional Placement Period (as defined below) without
using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule
7.1.
Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement
Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted
class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of
this Notice the Company has two classes of quoted securities
on issue: Shares (ASX: ACP) and Listed Options (ACP:
ACPO).
Based on the number of shares on issue at the date of this
Notice, the Company will have 80,160,001 Shares on issue and
therefore, subject to Shareholder approval being sought under
Resolution 3, 8,016,000 Equity Securities will be permitted
to be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.
Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number
of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the
Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and
will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A at
the time of issue of the Equity Securities. The table below
demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity
Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10%
Placement Capacity.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution, requiring 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
corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative) in
order to be passed.
Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
The following information in relation to the Shares to be
issued is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of
Listing Rule 7.3A:
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of
not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for
the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days
immediately before:
i. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities
are to be issued is agreed; or
ii. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading
Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which
the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) If Resolution 6 is approved by shareholders and the
Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional
10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' economic
and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is
also a risk that:
i. the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may
be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity
Securities than on the date of the meeting; and
ii. the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at
a discount to the market price for the
Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the
issue of the Equity Securities.
5
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders
of the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under
the Additional 10% Placement Capacity using variables for the
number of ordinary securities for variable "A" (as defined in
Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is
noted that the variable "A" is based on the number of
ordinary securities the Company has on issue at the time of
the proposed issue of Equity Securities.
The table shows:
i. examples where variable "A" is at its current level and
where variable "A" has increased by 50%
and 100%;
ii. examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities
is the current market price as at close of trade on 8 October
2012, being $0.16, (current market price), where the issue
price is halved, and where it is doubled; and
iii. the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum
number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the
Additional 10% Placement Capacity are issued.
Variable "A" | Number of Shares issued and funds raised under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity and dilution effect | Dilution | ||
Variable "A" | Number of Shares issued and funds raised under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity and dilution effect | $0.08 Issue Price at half the current market price | $0.16 Issue Price at current market price | $0.32 Issue Price at double the current market price |
Current Variable A 80,160,001 Shares | Shares issued | 8,016,000 | 8,016,000 | 8,016,000 |
Current Variable A 80,160,001 Shares | Funds raised | $641,280 | $1,442,880 | $2,885,762 |
Current Variable A 80,160,001 Shares | Dilution | 10% | 10% | 10% |
50% increase in current Variable A 120,240,002 Shares | Shares issued | 12,024,000 | 12,024,000 | 12,024,000 |
50% increase in current Variable A 120,240,002 Shares | Funds raised | $961,920 | $1,923,840 | $3,847,680 |
50% increase in current Variable A 120,240,002 Shares | Dilution | 10% | 10% | 10% |
100% increase in current Variable A 160,320,002 shares | Shares issued | 16,032,000 | 16,032,000 | 16,032,000 |
100% increase in current Variable A 160,320,002 shares | Funds raised | $1,282,560 | $2,565,120 | $5,130,240 |
100% increase in current Variable A 160,320,002 shares | Dilution | 10% | 10% | 10% |
Note this table assumes:
i. No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of
the Equity Securities;
ii. The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10%
Placement Capacity consists only of
Shares.
(c) Approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be
valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting and will
expire on the earlier of:
i. the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual
General Meeting; and
ii. the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction
under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to that
nature of scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal
of main undertaking),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX (Additional Placement
Period).
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for
the following purposes:
i. cash consideration. If Equity Securities are issued for
cash consideration, the Company intends to use the funds
raised towards acquisition of new assets or investments
(including expenses associated with such acquisitions),
continued exploration of the Company's Gascoyne, Medcalf and
Lake Johnston Projects and for general working capital
purposes.
ii. non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets
and investments in the resource sector.
If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration,
the Company will comply with Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation
to such issue and will release the valuation of the non-cash
consideration to the market.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under
Listing Rule 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity
Securities.
(e) The Company's allocation policy for the issue of Equity
Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will
be determined having regard to the prevailing market
conditions at the time of the proposed issue.
6
The identity of the allottees under the Additional 10%
Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by- case
basis having regard to factors which may include the
following:
i. the methods of raising funds that are available to the
Company, including the time and market exposure associated
with various methods of raising capital applicable at the
time of raising;
ii. the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the
Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of
proposed issue of Equity Securities;
iii. the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
and
iv. advice from professional advisers, including corporate,
financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The Company notes that:
i. any funds raised from the issue of Shares under the
Additional 10% Placement Capacity are likely to be applied
towards continued exploration of the Company's Gascoyne,
Medcalf and Lake Johnston Projects and for general working
capital purposes;
ii. it is not possible to determine whether any existing
Shareholders, or class of Shareholders, would be invited to
apply for any Shares to be issued under the Additional 10%
Placement Capacity, or to determine the category of any new
investors that may be invited to participate in such a
fundraising;
iii. prior to undertaking any fundraising, the Board will
have regard to whether it is in the Company's best interests
to structure such a fundraising as an entitlements issue to
all of the Company's existing Shareholders at that time;
and
iv. the reasons for undertaking any particular issue under
the Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be announced at
the time the Company sought to issue shares under that
Additional 10% Placement Capacity.
As at the date of this Notice, the allottees under the
Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined.
They may, however, include substantial Shareholders and/or
new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of
related parties of the Company.
Furthermore, if the Company is successful in acquiring new
assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under
the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be the vendors of
the new resource assets or investment.
(f) The Company has not previously obtained shareholder
approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
At the date of the Notice, the Company has not determined its
allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under
the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. The Company has not,
and has not yet determined to approach, any particular
existing security holders or an identifiable class of
existing security holders to participate in an offer under
the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, and therefore no
Shareholder will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all undirected
proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
