The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with the information known to the Company that the Board considers material to their decision on whether to approve the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice. This document is important and should be read in conjunction with all of the information contained in this booklet, including the Notice. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.
Proxies
Please note that: (a) a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy; (b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; (c) a Shareholder may appoint a body corporate or an individual as its proxy; (d) a body corporate appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers that the body may exercise as the Shareholder’s proxy; and (e) Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.
The enclosed proxy form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging proxy forms. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as its proxy and the body corporate wishes to appoint an individual as its representative, the body corporate should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that company’s representative. The authority may be sent to the Company or its share registry in advance of the Annual General Meeting.
To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the Proxy Form and return it so that it is received by no later than 9:30am (Adelaide time) on Sunday 23 November 2025 in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form. Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.
Alternatively, you may appoint a proxy using an electronic facility available at the website www.investorvote.com.au. At the website, shareholders will be able to view an electronic version of the proxy form, which will accept proxy appointments and register them accordingly.
Voting entitlements
In accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001, the Board has determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register of Shareholders as at 7:00pm (AEST/Sydney time) on Sunday 23 November 2025. Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining Shareholders’ entitlements to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.
2. Financial Statements and Reports
In accordance with the Corporations Act and the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include the receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2025, together with the related Directors’ report, Directors’ declaration, the Remuneration Report and Auditors’ report. This item of business is intended to provide an opportunity for Shareholders to raise questions on the reports themselves and on the performance of the Company generally. No resolution need be put to the meeting in relation to these items.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at https://aerometrex.com.au/.
As a Shareholder, you are entitled to submit a written question to the Auditor prior to the Annual General Meeting provided that the question relates to:
-
the content of the Auditor’s report; or
-
the conduct of the audit in relation to the financial report.
All written questions must be received by the Company no later than 5.00pm (Adelaide time) on Tuesday 18 November 2025.
All questions must be sent to the Company and may not be sent to the Auditor. The Company will then forward all questions to the Auditor.
The Auditor will be present at the Annual General Meeting and Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask the Auditor questions in relation to the conduct of the audit, the Auditor’s report, the Company’s accounting policies, and the independence of the Auditor.
3. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a listed company to put to its shareholders (at its annual general meeting) a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted. Such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2025.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting. Notwithstanding the advisory effect of Resolution 1, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote made by the Shareholders with regard to the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.
Although the effect of Resolution 1 is advisory only, under the “two strikes” rule, companies will be required to put a resolution to shareholders to hold fresh elections for directors if, at two consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a resolution (such as Resolution 1) to adopt the remuneration report are cast against that resolution. If required, a spill resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the spill resolution, the Company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
Previous voting results
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, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
Recommendation
Given the interest in this matter of each Director, the Board does not consider it appropriate to make a recommendation on this resolution.
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
4. Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Director – Mr Mark Lindh
Listing Rule 14.4 provides that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled to be exempt from this rotation requirement. Article 50.1(c) of the Constitution ensures that no Director is able to remain in office for longer than 3 years without standing for re-election. Each Director is entitled to offer himself/herself for re-election as a Director at the Annual General Meeting which coincides with his/her retirement.
Mr Lindh, who has served as a Director since 20 May 2019, retires by rotation (in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution) at the Annual General Meeting. As he is entitled and eligible for re-election, he seeks re-election as a Director at the Annual General Meeting.
Mr Mark Lindh is an investment banker and corporate advisor, with in excess of 15 years of experience in Australian equity and debt markets as well as advising on capital raisings, mergers and acquisitions and investor relations.
Mark Lindh is a founder and co-principal of Adelaide Equity Partners, an investment house established in 2006. Prior to that, he was Executive Director of Rundle Capital Partners which was a division of Washington H Soul Pattinson. Mark is a corporate advisor with significant experience in advising predominantly listed companies encompassing a range of industries including technology, energy, resources, infrastructure and utilities. He has acted as the principal corporate and financial advisor to a number of Australian corporate success stories and has extensive experience in Australian equity and debt markets and advising clients on capital raisings, mergers and acquisitions and investor relations.
He is a founding executive director of Adelaide Equity Partners Limited, an Australian investment and advisory company and is non-executive director of Bass Oil Limited (BAS.ASX) and a non-executive director of Maggie Beer Holdings Ltd (ABV.MBH) and Whitebark Energy Limited (ASX:WBE).
If re-elected the Board considers Mark Lindh will be an independent Director.
Voting Recommendation
The Board has reviewed Mark Lindh’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that his skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Directors (with Mr Lindh abstaining) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
5. Resolution 3 – Approval of Employee Incentive Securities Plan
General
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Incentive Securities Plan” ( Incentive Plan ) and for the issue of up to a maximum of 4,749,532 Securities, excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, under the Incentive Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).
The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants and link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation. The Company considers that adoption of the Incentive Plan and the future issue of Securities under the Incentive Plan will align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
Listing Rule 7.1
Subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 effectively 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 the period.
Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three (3) years before the date of the issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was to Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Securities under the Incentive Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
Information required by Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
-
(a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 1 ;
-
(b) the Company has not issued any Securities under the Plan as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Plan; and
-
(c) the maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan, following Shareholder approval is 4,749,532 Securities (being 5% of the number of ordinary shares currently on issue). It not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.
Effect of Resolution 3
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Incentive Plan to Eligible Participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Securities under the Incentive Plan (up to a maximum of 4,749,532 Securities), excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, 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 3 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the future issue of Securities under the Incentive Plan to Eligible Participants, but any issues of Securities, excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and for the 12-month period following the issue of Securities.
Voting Recommendation
The Directors unanimously support the adoption of the Incentive Plan and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
8. Resolution 4 – Approval of Salary Sacrifice Share Plan
General
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Salary Sacrifice Share Plan” ( Salary Sacrifice Plan ) and for the issue of up to a maximum of 4,749,532 Shares, excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, under the Salary Sacrifice Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).
The objective of the Salary Sacrifice Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Salary Sacrifice Plan and the future issue of Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
As summarised in section 7 above, 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.
Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan to Eligible Participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Shares to Eligible Participants under the Salary Sacrifice Plan (up to the maximum number of Shares stated in below) 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.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan to Eligible Participants, but any issues of Shares will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Shares.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)
Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13(b)) sets out the requirements for the notice of meeting and GN 21 paragraph 4.13 provides further information in this regard.
In relation to the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the scheme, GN 21 states that the actual number of securities to be issued does not need to be predicted but a maximum number for the purposes of a ceiling needs to be disclosed. The intention is for shareholders to understand the dilutionary impact of the plan when it is approved. Once the maximum number is reached, the entity will need to obtain fresh shareholder approval for any further issues of securities under the plan.
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:
-
(a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Salary Sacrifice Plan is set out in Schedule 2;
-
(b) the Company has not issued any Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Salary Sacrifice Plan; and
-
(c) the maximum number of Shares proposed to be issued under the Salary Sacrifice Plan, following Shareholder approval, is 4,749,532 Shares. It not envisaged that the maximum number of Shares for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.
Effect of Resolution 4
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan to Eligible Participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan (up to a maximum of 4,749,532 Securities), excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, 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 4 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the future issue of Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan to Eligible Participants, but any issues of Shares, excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue Shares without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and for the 12-month period following the issue of Shares.
The Directors unanimously support the adoption of the Salary Sacrifice Plan and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
Voting Recommendation
The Directors unanimously support the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled Salary Sacrifice Plan and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
5. Resolution 5 – Approval to issue Performance Rights to Managing Director Robert Veitch
General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 1,691,412 Performance Rights (Rights) to Mr Veitch (or his nominees) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Rights to the Mr Veitch (or his nominee) as a related party of the Company.
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 issue of Rights to Mr Veitch (or his nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Veitch is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Veitch 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 Rights because the agreement to issue the Rights, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Veitch is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
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;
-
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 issue of Rights 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.
Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
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 Rights to Mr Veitch 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). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the 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 Rights and may be required to provide Mr Veitch an alternative form of remuneration such as cash.
Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
-
(a) the Rights will be issued to Robert Veitch (or his nominee) who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Mr Veitch is a related party of the Company by virtue of being Director;
-
(b) the maximum number of Rights to be issued to Mr Veitch is 1,691,042 Rights;
-
(c) the terms and conditions of the Rights are set out in Schedule 3;
-
(d) the Rights will be issued 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 Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Rights will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the Rights will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Rights;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Rights is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Mr Veitch, to motivate and reward his performance in his role as Managing Director and to provide a cost effective way for the Company to remunerate Mr Veitch, which 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 Veitch;
-
(g) the current total remuneration package for Mr Veitch is $350,000. If the Rights are issued, the total remuneration package of Mr Veitch will increase by $350,000 to $700,000, being the value of the Rights (based on valuation of the Rights set out in Schedule 4);
-
(h) the Rights are being issued to Mr Veitch under Mr Veitch’ employment contract. A summary of the material terms of the employment contract is set out in Schedule 5; and
-
(i) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 5 of the Notice.

3. Administration of the Incentive Plan

The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
4. Eligibility, Invitation and Application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Incentive Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company.

-
(i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition.

-
(i) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (q)(i) within seven days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.
(p) No rights to return of capital
A Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.
(q) Rights on winding up
A Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.
(r) No other rights
A Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.
(s) ASX Listing Rule compliance
The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the Rights to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.
