Bucket list of ASX listed companies where yet to attend AGM

3P Learning (3PL): 13% against director Craig Coleman last year. Physical AGM in Parramatta last November. Market cap $330m. Accumulated losses of $30.7m and net assets of $194m so have added value through Mathletics and the like. Executive chairman Matthew Sandblom owns almost 50%.

AIC Mines (A1M): May 27, 11am WST. Physical AGM in Perth with no online element. Market cap $121m in Jan 2024. See notice of meeting.

Alpha HPA (A4N): aluminium manufacturer which just cracked the ASX300 and has an AGM coming up.

Ampol, 10am May 12: Hybrid meeting with physical component at The Mint in Sydney. See notice of meeting. Watch 43 minute webcast. Proxies were disclosed with formal addresses before meeting started.

ARB, $2.5b: listed in 1987. Great organic Australian success story and still run by the Brown family which launched the business in 1975 and retain a 6%. Have only just surrendered chair but remain CEO.

Argosy Minerals (AGY): 1.30pm WST. Physical meeting in Perth. See notice of meeting. Market cap crashed from $500m to $154m in Jan 2024 with stock at 8c. Accumulated losses $69m and claims net equity of $94m.

Arteris Technologies (AVR): May 25, 3pm. Physical meeting at Sydney Radisson. See notice of meeting. Market cap $292m in Jan 2024.

Atturra (ATA): capitalised at $220m and dodgy capital raising in 2022 with a needless placement component at a discount. Last year's AGM was a virtual in early October. See notice of meeting.

Audinate (AD8): $50 million placement at $13 followed by a $20m SPP, which included secondary pricing based on a 2% discount to VWAP which didn't come into play. Was under-written by UBS and Cannacord and priced at a 9% discount to the previous close. With around 15,000 holders the theoretical maximum in SPP applications was $450 million. The offer was over-subscribed and they failed to lift the $20 million cap. No disclosure of participation numbers or total applications in this skinny SPP outcome announcement but the scale back formula saw everyone with more than 50 shares fully allocated and the rest dealt with pro-rata according to their holding. Stock was at $16.18 on December 31, 2023, so company is booming with a $1.35 billion market cap.

Austal: the big Perth-based ship building company.

Australian Clinical Labs (ACL): bought in last year but then sold again. Last year was fully virtual in October with no protest votes. See notice of meeting. Year end market cap $603m.

No protests last year, even on first lift in the board fee cap since 2006. Full archive on website but it only lasted 36 minutes with just one pre-AGM questions about whether there were plans to get into acquaculture. No. It has been a great turnaround story and the 18,200 shareholders are clearly happy.

In 2022 it was a physical meeting with a Link webcast but no ability to ask online questions. No archive of last year's meeting provided and bizarrely held an investor day 3 weeks after the 2022 AGM. Co Sec advises there were no questions at the 2022 AGM.

IPD Group (IPG): $65 million raising to fund a $101 million cables acquisition off listed company Excelsior Capital (ECL) which will put the deal to a vote in mid-January. The raising comprises a $40 million placement and a $25 million 1-for-13.65 non-renounceable at $3.93, a 6.4% discount to the previous close of $4.20. IPD shares closed at $4.74 on December 1 so investors think it bought well. There was a 99% take-up of the institutional component. Bell Potter is the sole under-writer and retail overs have been limited to 100% of entitlement in the $7.7 million retail offer. The next AGM will be November 2024 and the 2023 effort was a physical meeting.

IVE Group (IGL): the printing giant seems to be doing well since buying the assets of the old PMP, its chief rival, from creditors. Market cap is now $315m and this is a very upbeat AGM address from the exec chair. A shame it is a physical only meeting in Sydney. Market cap $315m.

The Market Herald (TMH): the owner of HotCopper had a market cap of $101m by the end of 2022 and was becoming a more interesting company. See Rear Window wrap of the conflict. The 2022 AGM was a November 28 effort held virtually via zoom.

Perseus Mining (PRU), $2.49b: Raised $3.5m in a 2004 float at 20c. Has prospered with gold projects in unfashionable Sudan, Ivory Coast and Ghana. Largest shareholders are index player Van Eck and T Rowe Price.

Probiotic: CEO Wesley Stringer mentioned on Rich List back in 2010 and the stock has performed well in recent years to have a market cap of $180m. Next AGM is October 2023 and last AGM was a hybrid using Zoom. See notice of meeting.

PYC Therapeutics (PYC): announced a non-under-written 1-for-4 at 8c to raise a maximum of $74.6m. Chair Alan Tribe will take up his full $24.6m entitlement but there are no overs for retail shareholders. However, under S615 of the Corps Act, the directors have given Euroz Hartley 3 months to place any shortfall at no less than the 8c offer price and any premium achieved will be returned to the non-participants. There are around 3,200 retail shareholders. Went into the raising with 3.7 billion shares. Time for a 10-for-1 consolidation, perhaps? Market cap $317m based on 8c going into the raising. Claims to only have net equity of $30m in Feb 2024 accounts after accumulating losses of $133.2m. The market is clearly valuing the potential of its drug developments.

Red 5 Mining (RED) The Perth-based gold miner did a shocking $125 million placement at 18c in 2020 with no SPP for retail shareholders. This comprised 55.8% of pre-raising capital and therefore needed shareholder approval. Was priced at a 23.4% discount to the last price and the stock was at 21c in mid May so the existing 4800 retail shareholders were badly diluted without compensation. The stock has been a wild ride since ranging between 15c and 44c but finished 2022 at around 21c giving it a market cap of $600 million. There was a big protest vote against director Kevin Dundo last year at a physical only AGM at the Celtic Club in Perth. No webcast archive provided here for 12,000 shareholders to access. Smorgon family are biggest holders with around 15%. Can't find an email contact anywhere.

Spartan Resources (SPR): the Perth-based gold miner and explorer (known as Gascoyne Resources until 2023) launched an $80 million raising in April 2024, comprising a $47 million placement and a 1-for-17 non-renounceable to raise $33 million. The company was capitalised at $650m in April 2024 so very disappointed that it ran a physical AGM at the Celtic Club in Perth on November 23, 2023.


Super Retail Group: ran a hybrid in 2023 so just need to get organised for 2024.
