1.2 Director Participation
The current Directors of the Company have agreed to participate in the Placement up to an aggregate of approximately $152,000, through the issue of up to an aggregate of 7,238,094 Placement Shares and 3,619,047 Placement Options, on the same terms and conditions as the Unrelated Placement Participants ( Director Participation ). The Director Participation comprises:
-
(a) up to 4,285,714 Placement Shares and up to 2,142,857 Placement Options to Allan Ritchie, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 2;

2. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT OPTIONS
2.1 General
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 73,541,668 Options to the Unrelated Placement Participants free attaching to the Placement Shares subscribed for and issued under the Placement on a 1:2 basis. The Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.035 each on or before 30 June 2028 and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1.
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. Under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 17), if the issue of securities is subject to prior shareholder approval, it does not count toward the 15% placement limit set by Listing Rule 7.1. The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 – 4 – APPROVAL FOR DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN PLACEMENT – ALLAN RITCHIE, MAURICE MATICH AND DAVID WARD
3.1 General
Resolutions 2 to 4 seek Shareholder approval for purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of up to 7,238,094 Placement Shares and 3,619,047 Placement Options to the current Directors of the Company, Allan Ritchie, Maurice Matich and David Ward ( Related Parties ) (or their respective nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions set out below to enable the Director Participation in the Placement on the same terms as the Unrelated Placement Participants.
Further details in respect of the proposed Director Participation are set out in the table below.

| TOTAL | 7,238,094 | 3,619,047 | $151,999.97 |
3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Director Participation because the Securities will be issued to to the related parties (or their respective nominee(s)) on the same terms as Securities issued to the Unrelated Placement Participants and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
3.3
Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.
It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) that the each of the Related Parties has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 2 to 4. If the Related Parties do have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 2 to 4 at Board level.
Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 2 to 4 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the reliance on the arm’s length terms exception and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
3.4
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
10.11.1 a related party;
9
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Director Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
3.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 2 to 4 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Director Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.4. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Director Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 2 to 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Director Participation and will not be able to raise additional funds under the Placement.
3.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Name of the person to whom Securities will be issued |
The Related Parties (or their respective nominee(s)) as set out in Section 3.1 above. |

| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
The maximum number of Securities to be issued and the allocation between the Related Parties is set out in Section 3.1 above. |
| Terms of Securities | The Placement Shares under the Director Participation will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. The Placement Options under the Director Participation will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |
The Company expects to issue the Securities within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Securities later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |

4.1 General
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 5,000,000 Lead Manager Options in part consideration for lead manager services provided by the Lead Manager.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue of Lead Manager Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. Under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 17), if the issue of securities is subject to prior shareholder approval, it does not count toward the 15% placement limit set by Listing Rule 7.1. The proposed issue of Lead Manager Options therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Lead Manager Options to the Lead Manager and may be required to reimburse the Lead Manager by other means (i.e. cash consideration).
