The position follows on from the Corporations (Coronavirus Economic Response) Determination (No. 3) 2020 which expired on 21 March 2021. ASIC’s ‘no action’ policy addresses, amongst other things, companies providing shareholders with details of an online location where the contents of a notice of meeting can be viewed and downloaded.

Instead, a copy of the Notice is available on the Company’s website at https://dctwo.com.au/investors-information/#investor-announcements . Alternatively, a complete copy of the meeting documents has been posted to the Company’s ASX market announcements page. If you have elected to receive notices by email, you will be notified by email.

The Company will hold a physical meeting with the appropriate social gathering and physical distancing measures in place to comply with the Federal Government’s and State Government’s current restrictions on physical gatherings. However, in order to minimise the risk to shareholders and to the Company and its ongoing operations, Shareholders are encouraged to vote by proxy instead of attending the meeting.
The situation regarding COVID-19 is evolving rapidly and the Company is following the guidance of the Australian Government. Shareholders are encouraged to monitor the Company’s ASX announcements for any further updates in relation to the Meeting.
The Meeting materials are important and should be read in their entirety. If you are in doubt as to the course of action you should follow, you should consult your financial adviser, lawyer, accountant or other professional adviser.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

2. Resolution 1 – 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 ).
9
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 reelection.
This is the Company’s first annual general meeting. 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.
3. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director –Shane Wee
Resolution 2 seeks approval for election of Shane Wee as a Director.
Clauses 6.2(b) of the Constitution provides that the Directors may appoint any person to be a Director. Clause 6.3(j) provides that any Director so appointed holds office until the following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election.
Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer. However, a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the entity.
Shane Wee having been appointed to fill a casual vacancy on 31 August 2021 will retire in accordance with clause 6.3(i) of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.
Details of Shane Wee’s background and experience is set out in the Annual Report.
The Board considers that Shane Wee has the necessary skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. The Board (excluding Shane Wee) recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Chair of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
4. Resolution 3 – Re-election of Director – Blake Burton
Clauses 6.2(b) of the Constitution provides that the Directors may appoint any person to be a Director. Clause 6.3(j) provides that any Director so appointed holds office until the following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election.
Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer. However, a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the entity.
10
In determining the number of Directors to retire, no account is to be taken of:
-
(a) a Director who only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to clause 6.3(i); and/or
-
(b) a Managing Director,
Blake Burton having been appointed to fill a casual vacancy on 1 September 2020 will retire in accordance with clause 6.3(i) of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.
Details of Blake Burton’s background and experience is set out in the Annual Report and Company announcement dated 5 October 2021.
The Board considers that Blake Burton has the necessary skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role.

5.1.2 Related Party Participation
The Company notes that Directors Shane Wee and Blake Burton (and/or their nominees) are intending on subscribing for a total of 666,666 Shares in the Placement subject to Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Company is seeking prior shareholder approval
11
pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 in respect of the Directors’ participation in the Placement, and the issue of the Shares, in Resolutions 8(a) and 8(b) of this Notice.
5.1.3 Use of Funds
The primary purpose of the Placement is to raise funds to complete Tier III accreditation of the Company’s Bibra Lake data centre, fulfil an estimated $2.7 million in existing contracts and expand the sales team to drive further growth with a focus on enterprise customers.
5.1.4 Joint Lead Manager Mandate
On 22 September 2021, the Company entered into a joint lead manager mandate with Alto Capital and Xcel Capital (together , Joint Lead Managers ) for the purpose of acting as joint lead managers to the Placement ( Mandate ).
Under the Mandate, in consideration for the joint lead management and capital raising services provided in respect of the Placement, the Company agreed to pay/issue the Joint Lead Managers (and/or their nominees) on completion of the Placement:
-
(a) a 6% capital raising fee on all monies raised under the Placement; and
-
(b) 4,000,000 Options, subject to the Company obtaining the prior shareholder approval (being the subject of Resolution 6).
5.2
ASX Listing Rules 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions which are contained in Listing Rule 7.2 (which do not apply in the circumstance of this Resolution), 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The issue of the Conversion Securities do not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s 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 date.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to the Tranche 1 Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Tranche 1 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

9. Resolutions 8(a) and 8(b) – Approval of Director Participation in Tranche 2 Placement
9.1 General
Please review Section 5.1 for an overview of the Placement and the proposed subscription for the Related Tranche 2 Shares and free-attaching Options by the participating Directors: Blake Burton and Shane Wee ( Participating Directors ).
9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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:
16
-
(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 Participating Directors subscription for the Tranche 2 of the Placement will result in the giving of a financial benefit, and the Participating Directors are all Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being a Directors of the Company.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Related Tranche 2 Shares and free-attaching Options because the Securities will be issued to the Participating Directors (and/or their nominee) on the same terms as the Securities issued to non-Related Parties who participate in the issue of the Unrelated Tranche 2 Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.
9.3 ASX 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:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) 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;
-
(c) 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;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
(e) 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.
As the Participating Directors participation in Tranche 2 of the Placement involves the issue of Shares and free-attaching Options to Related Parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
9.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Participating Directors subscription for the Tranche 2 Shares and free-attaching Options in the Placement (being the Related Tranche 2 Shares and freeattaching Options):

-

10. Resolution 9 – Appointment of Auditor at First AGM

11. Resolution 10 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
11.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements commencing from the date of the Meeting where the Company obtains the approval until the earlier of the following:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting at which the approval is obtained;

-
(c) the time and date of the approval of Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2 in respect of the Company,
( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. As at 6 October 2021, the Company is an “eligible entity” as it is not included in the S&P Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $12,782,247 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on ASX on 6 October 2021).
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
19
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer Section 11.2(c) below).
11.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 10 for it to be passed.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, being Shares (ASX: DC2).
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting any issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is number of shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than Exception 9,16 or 17;
-
(B) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in relevant period on conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9 where:
-
(1) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(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 shares issued in relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 16 where:
- (1) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
20
-
(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;
-
(D) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(E) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
(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 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 date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 67,274,984 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 4 – 5, 8(a) and 8(b), 11,274,999 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under this Resolution 10, 7,516,666 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 Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 11.2(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
21
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general 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 annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) the time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).
11.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 10 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 10 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.
11.4 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:
-
(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 10 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”
22
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 $0.19, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 6 October 2021.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 10 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing
23
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 may seek to issue the 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), continued exploration and general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of the Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not Related Parties or associates of a Related Party of the Company.
-
(e) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(f) For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 14.1A (and in addition to the disclosure in clause 13.4 above):
-
(i) if Resolution 10 is passed, the Directors will be able 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; and
-
(ii) if Resolution 10 is not passed, the Directors will not be able issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will have to either rely on its existing 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (from time to time), or (in the event that the Company’s 15% placement capacity is exhausted) the Company will be required to obtain prior shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 before being able to issue such Equity Securities (which may result in the Company incurring further time and expense).
At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. As such, no voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice.
The Directors of the Company believe Resolution 10 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

12. Resolution 11 – Issue of Options to Related Party - Shane Wee
12.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 1,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Shane Wee (and/or his nominee) as part of his engagement as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company, on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of the Related Party Options to Shane Wee (and/or his nominee).
12.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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 grant of Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Shane Wee is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Shane Wee who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Options because the agreement to grant the Related Party Options, reached as part of the director remuneration package for Shane Wee, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm's length basis.
12.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As the grant of the Related Party Options involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
12.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 11:
- (a) the Related Party Options will be granted to Shane Wee (and/or his nominee), a person who falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a director of the Company;
25
-
(b) the number of Related Party Options to be issued is 1,000,000;
-
(c) the Related Party Options will be granted no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that the issue will occur on the same date;
-
(d) the Related Party Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, but in consideration for the future director services to be provided, accordingly no funds will be raised;
-
(e) refer to Item 4(c) of Schedule 4 for details of the remuneration payable to Shane Wee in accordance with his letter of appointment;
-
(f) the Related Party Options are being issued under an agreement, a summary of the material terms of Shane Wee’s letter of appointment is set out in Schedule 4; and
-
(g) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 5.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Related Party Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the grant of Related Party Options to Shane Wee (or his nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Directors (other than Shane Wee who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) believe Resolution 11 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
12.5 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed issuing 1,000,000 Options to Shane Wee (and/or his nominee) 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).
If the Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed issuing 1,000,000 Options to Shane Wee (and/or his nominee).
13. Enquiries
