EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF 25,000,000 SHARES
1.1 General
On 24 October 2022, the Company announced a $3.0 million placement comprising the issue of 30,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.10 per Share ( Placement ). Adveritas Director Mr Mark McConnell committed to subscribe for a total of 5,000,000 Shares at the Placement issue price of $0.10 per Share to raise $500,000. The issue of 5,000,000 Shares to Mr McConnell (or nominee) is subject to Shareholder approval in Resolution 2 below. The Placement was taken up by new professional and sophisticated investors as well as existing Shareholders.
Funds raised from the Placement will support further rapid growth given the success of recent sales and go-to-market initiatives, and build upon the Company’s growing client base. Specifically:
-
hiring of additional personnel to manage the integration of potential customers, which is the phase preceding trial activation;
-
hiring of additional personnel to support customers throughout their engagement with TrafficGuard and cross sell other products to them;
-
hiring of additional personnel to strengthen the Company’s TrafficGuard products including a Chief Product Officer to drive feature upsells;
-
commercialising the Company’s Freemium subscribers to paying customers; and
-
• growing channel partnerships.
The Company issued 25,000,000 Placement Shares on 28 October 2022. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 25,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s existing Listing Rule 7.1A placement capacity.
1.2 Background to Listing Rule 7.1A
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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period. Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. Shareholders approved this additional capacity at the Company’s annual general meeting held prior to the 28 October 2022 Placement on 23 November 2021.
As the Placement does not fall under any exceptions and has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for the period ending on the earliest of:
-
the date that is 12 months after the last annual general meeting at which the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate was approved;
-
the time and date of the next annual general meeting; and
5
- the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (for a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking),
(Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate Expiry Date).
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a 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 7.1A 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 7.1A and therefore seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of Shares pursuant to the LR7.1A Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If this Resolution is passed, the Shares pursuant to the LR7.1A Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval:
-
under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date the Company issued Shares pursuant to the LR7.1A Placement; and
-
under Listing Rule 7.1A for the period ending on the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate Expiry Date.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Shares pursuant to the LR7.1A Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the periods noted immediately above.
If Resolution 1 is approved, the 25,000,000 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following their issue.
If Resolution 1 is not approved by the requisite majority, the 25,000,000 Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following their issue.
1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1 and the ratification of the issue of the 25,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s existing Listing Rule 7.1A placement capacity:

The issue of the LR 7.1 Placement does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in 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 date of issue of the LR 7.1 Placement.

-

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO MATHEW RATTY
5.1 General
The Company has agreed, to issue up to 5,000,000 Performance Rights to Mathew Ratty (or his nominee) under the terms and conditions of the Incentive Performance Rights and Options Plan and as set out below in Schedule 1 ( Performance Rights ).
5.2 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 of the Performance Rights to Mathew Ratty (or their nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Ratty is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mathew Ratty) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Performance Rights, because the issue of Performance Rights constitutes reasonable remuneration payable to
11
Mathew Ratty.
5.3 Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
- 10.14.1 a director of the entity;
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.
The issue of Performance Rights to Mr Ratty falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Mathew Ratty under the terms and conditions of the Incentive Performance Rights and Options Plan and as detailed in Schedule 1 within three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Ratty and the Company will not be utilising the most cost-effective and efficient means for incentivising Mr Ratty, and other means, such as cash payments, will be considered. Those other means may not align Mr Ratty’s interests with those of Shareholders to the same extent.
5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

(i) the Performance Rights are unlisted, therefore the grant of the Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;

(ii) the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Ratty will act as a long-term incentive and retention strategy and will align the interests of Mr Ratty with those of Shareholders;
-
(iii) the issue of the Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Ratty; and
-
(iv) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Performance Rights on the terms proposed;

-
the Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Ratty (or his nominee) no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Performance Rights will be issued on one date;
-
the issue price of the Performance Rights will be nil, as such no funds will be raised from the issue of the Performance Rights;
-
no loan is being made to Mr Ratty in connection with the acquisition of the Performance Rights;

details of any Performance Rights issued under the Performance Rights Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14; and
