ADISYN LTD | NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 7
4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors’ Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.
Section 250R(3) of Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
However, the Corporations Act also gives Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings ( Two Strikes Rule ).
Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors’ Report will cease to hold office immediately before that further meeting but may stand for re-election.
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, a further resolution relating to the Two Strikes Rule is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intention.
5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Justin Thomas

6.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

ADISYN LTD | NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 10
-

-
(2) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities approved, or taken to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(C) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 16 where:

-
(2) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;

-
(E) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
(F) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the relevant period.
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
-
D
-
is 10%.
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1A and Listing Rule 7.3A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the 14 October 2024, the Company has on issue 231,132,002 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 34,669,800 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 23,113,200 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity
ADISYN LTD | NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 11
Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) above).
(e)
Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded 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 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f)
10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or

( 10% Placement Period ).
6.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 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 corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) on the Resolution.
6.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
- (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
ADISYN LTD | NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 12
-
(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 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Listed Options, only if the Listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than of 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.
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 shows:
-
(i) 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 securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price or ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Note
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;
-
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 at 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on the Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The issue price is $0.049, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 14 October 2024.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company can only issue Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) and general working capital

The Directors of the Company believe Resolution 3 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
7. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Proposed Placement Shares
7.1 General
The Company is considering conducting a placement pursuant to which the Company will issue up to a maximum of 40,000,000 Shares ( Proposed Placement ).
Under the Proposed Placement, the Company intends to issue up to 40,000,000 Shares at an issue price of no less than $0.04 ( Proposed Placement Shares ) to sophisticated and professional investors who are unrelated parties of the Company ( Proposed Placement Participants ), the subject of this Resolution 4.
The Proposed Placement represents approximately 17.3% of the Company’s issued share capital as at the date of this Notice (assuming that only the Proposed Placement Shares are issued and no other Shares are issued).
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue up to 40,000,000 Proposed Placement Shares to the Proposed Placement Participants (or their nominees).
7.2
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions which are contained in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (which do not apply in the circumstance of this Resolution), ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of the 12 month period.
The Proposed Placement Shares do not fit within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Proposed Placement Shares.
7.3
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Proposed Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the Proposed Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Proposed Placement Shares. The Company may be required to consider alternative forms of capital raising in lieu of the issue of the Proposed Placement Shares under the Proposed Placement.
ADISYN LTD | NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 16
7.4 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.3

-
