EXPLANATORY MEMORADNUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of the Company ( Shareholders ) in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s EGM to be held on Friday 2 July 2021 at 9.30am (Sydney time).

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide shareholders with information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to decide how to vote upon the resolutions.

Subject to the abstentions noted below, the Directors unanimously recommend shareholders vote in favour of all Resolutions. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each resolution.

All Resolutions are ordinary resolutions, which require a simple majority of votes cast by shareholders present and entitled to vote on the resolution.

RESOLUTIONS 1 to 3 - PLACEMENT

1. Background

On 6 April 2021, the Company announced a $4,164,279.84 Placement.

The Placement involved the issue of:

  • (i) 46,269,776 Shares at $0.09 per Share ( Placement Shares ); and

(ii) 0.5 free attaching Unlisted Options per Placement Share issued, being 23,134,888 in total with an exercise price of $0.18 and an expiry date of 31 March 2023 ( Placement Options ).

(together, the Placement Securities ).

On 12 April 2021, the Company issued the Placement Securities.

The Company issued 18,233,265 Placement Shares under its 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 7.1 Placement Shares ) and 28,036,511 Placement Shares under its 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A ( 7.1A Placement Shares ).

The Company issued the Placement Options under Listing Rule 7.1.

The ratification of the issue of the Placement Securities is the subject of Resolutions 1 to 3.

2. Regulatory requirements - Resolutions 1 to 3

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.

The issue of the 7.1 Placement Shares and the Placement Options do not fit within any of the exceptions under Listing Rule 7.1, and as the issue of those securities 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 the Listing Rules for the 12 month period following the date of the issue of those securities.

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 maintain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period the approval is valid a number of Equity Securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule

==> picture [77 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

NOTICE OF EGM

P a g e | 10

7.1. The 7.1A Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A. Listing Rule 7.4 provides that a company may reinstate its capacity to issue up to an additional 10% under Listing Rule 7.1A if shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities or the agreement to issue the securities (as applicable).

Accordingly:

  • (i) Resolutions 1 and 3 seek shareholder approval of the issue of the 7.1 Placement Shares and the Placement Options issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4; and

  • (ii) Resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval of the issue of the 7.1A Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

Resolution 1

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the 7.1 Placement 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 date of issue of the 7.1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the 7.1 Placement 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 date of issue of the 7.1 Placement Shares.

Resolution 2

If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of 7.1A Placement 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 the date of issue of the 7.1A Placement Shares.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the 7.1A Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the 7.1A Placement Shares.

Resolution 3

If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the Placement Options 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 date of issue of the Placement Options.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Options 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 date of issue of the Placement Options.

The Placement Securities issued, for which approval and ratification is sought under Resolutions 1 to 3 comprise 16.27%[1 ] of the Company’s fully diluted issued capital (based on the number of Shares and Options on issue as at the date of this Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting).

3. Additional Information - Resolutions 1, 2 and 3

4. Board recommendation - Resolutions 1 to 3

Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 are ordinary resolutions.

The Board believes that the ratification of these issues is beneficial for the Company as it allows the Company to ratify the above issues of securities and retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 25% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3.

RESOLUTIONS 4 to 6 - DIRECTOR PARTICPATION IN PLACEMENT

1. Background

As detailed in the Explanatory Memorandum for Resolutions 1 to 3, the Company has recently undertaken a Placement.

As announced on 6 April 2021, subject to shareholder approval Ms Christina McGrath, Dr David Carland and Mr Martin McConnell agreed to subscribe under the Placement for a combined $27,000 on the same terms as the Placement. Each Director has agreed to subscribe for $9,000.

Resolutions 4 to 6 are approval to issue Shares and Unlisted Options under the Placement to Ms Christina McGrath, Dr David Carland and Mr Martin McConnell.

2. Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed entity must not issue or agree to issue securities to any of the following, unless it obtains shareholder approval by ordinary resolution:

  • 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 entity;

  • c. person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • d. an associate of a person referred to in items a - c above; or

  • e. a person whose relationship with the entity, or a person referred to items a - d above is such that in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved its Shareholders.

As such, Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11 as Resolutions 4 to 6 propose the issue of up to 300,000 Shares and 150,000 Unlisted Options under the Placement to certain Directors of the Company, who are related parties of the Company by virtue of their directorships.

As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not also required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed, Aguia will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares and Unlisted Options to Ms Christina McGrath, Dr David Carland and Mr Martin McConnell and access the combined $27,000 under the Placement.

Mr Martin McConnell has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6 and accordingly does not make a voting recommendation to Shareholders.

RESOLUTION 7 - ISSUE OF SECURITIES

1. Background

In addition to the Placement, the Company is proposing to issue 6,270,923 Shares at $0.09 and 6,270,923 Unlisted Options exercisable at $0.18 expiring 31 March 2023 (being 1 free attaching Unlisted Option for each Share subscribed for), to raise up to $564,383.07.

2. Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, unless an exception applies, a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will in themselves or when aggregated with the Equity Securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. The issue does fall under one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 hence shareholder approval is sought.

The issue of Shares and Unlisted Options pursuant to Resolution 7 will not, if Shareholders approve the issue, be included in the 15% limit and therefore approval of Resolution 7 will minimise the restrictive effect of Listing Rule 7.1 on any further issues by the Company of Equity Securities in the next 12 months.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the issue can proceed without using up any of Aguia’s 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

==> picture [77 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

NOTICE OF EGM

P a g e | 15

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the issue can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, Aguia’s capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue.

The securities proposed to be issued, for which approval is sought under Resolution 7, comprise 2.94% of the Company’s fully diluted issued capital (based on the number of Shares and Unlisted Options on issue as at the date of this Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting).

3.

Listing Rule 7.3

In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, Shareholders are advised of the following information:

a. Name of person to receive securities

The Directors will determine the parties to whom the Shares and Unlisted Options will be issued and will ensure that these persons will not be related parties of the Company.

The Shares and Unlisted Options will be allotted to sophisticated and institutional investors who qualify under the requirements of sections 9 and 708 of the Corporations Act and are clients of Kemosabe Capital who act as an adviser to the Company.

b. Maximum number and class of securities to be issued

The Company intends to issue up to 6,270,923 Shares at $0.09 and 6,270,923 Unlisted Options.

  • c. Terms of the securities

The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares and rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares. The Company will apply to ASX for official quotation of the Shares.

A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 7 is included in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting preceding this Explanatory Memorandum.

4. Board Recommendation

The Board believes that the proposed issue is beneficial for the Company and recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution. It will allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further Equity Securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months.

RESOLUTION 8 - ISSUE OF NED OPTIONS TO DR DAVID CARLAND

1. Background

The Board considers that options are an important tool in rewarding, retaining and incentivising employees of the Company and increasing goal alignment between shareholders, directors and executives.

Those Directors who do not have an interest in the outcome of this Resolution recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution regarding the NED Options for the reasons set out below:

  • a. the Directors consider it is important for the Company to be able to attract and retain experienced directors and that the proposed grant of NED Options to each Director is appropriate taking into account the relevant Director’s level of experience and contribution to the Company.

  • b. the Company has previously issued options to Directors and Resolution 8 ensures a congruent and consistent remuneration philosophy.

  • c. the Directors consider that the proposed number of NED Options to be granted to Dr David Carland is appropriate and in accordance with the Company’s remuneration policy to:

  • i. motivate Dr David Carland to pursue long term growth and success of the Company (within an appropriate control framework);

  • ii. align the interests of key leadership with the long-term interests of the Company’s Shareholders; and

  • iii. ensure a clear correlation between performance and remuneration.

  • d. if the Company is unable to issue the proposed NED Options then it may need to consider whether, in order to attract and retain appropriate directors, it needs to increase the level of cash fees payable. By issuing NED Options, the Company will be able to preserve a greater portion of its cash reserves operating expenditure than it would if additional cash remuneration were given to the Directors.

2. Proposed issue of securities

Aguia is proposing to issue 1,500,000 NED Options to Dr David Carland at an exercise price of $0.10 per share on the following terms:

  • a. subject to a change of control event, the NED Options will vest on satisfaction of a number of agreed key performance indicators ( KPIs ) which relate to the achievement of the Company’s strategic goals.

  • b. the NED Options are exercisable at $0.10 (10 cents) per share and are only exercisable between the Vesting Date and the expiry date (20 November 2025). Each NED Option upon exercise will convert into 1 fully paid ordinary share upon exercise.

  • c. any shares issued on exercise of the NED Options will rank equally with all existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

==> picture [77 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

NOTICE OF EGM

P a g e | 17

  • d. if at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder of NED Options are to be changed to the extent necessary in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.

  • e. the NED Options will not be quoted on the ASX.

  • f. the NED Options will be issued for nil consideration.

  • g. there are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the NED Options and holders of NED Options will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders during the currency of the NED Options without first exercising their options.

3.

Section 208 of the Corporations Act

Section 208(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a public company must not, without the approval of the Company’s members, give a financial benefit to a related party unless an exception to the prohibition as set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to that issue.

As a Director of the Company, Dr David Carland is a related party of the Company for the purposes of section 228(2) Corporations Act. The issue of the NED Options proposed under Resolution 8 will constitute the giving of a financial benefit to a related party for the purposes of section 229(3)(e) of the Corporations Act.

The Board, with Dr David Carland abstaining, has resolved that the grant of NED Options to Dr David Carland constitutes reasonable remuneration within the meaning of section 211(1) of the Corporations Act as the Company wishes to maximise the use of its cash resources towards the Company’s development and equity based incentives, such as options, are used to supplement cash based remuneration.

For the reasons set out above, shareholder approval is not required under section 208(1) of the Corporations Act, however approval is still required for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

4. Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed entity must not issue or agree to issue securities to any of the following, unless it obtains shareholder approval by ordinary resolution:

  • 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 entity;

  • c. person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • d. an associate of a person referred to in items a - c above; or

  • e. a person whose relationship with the entity, or a person referred to items a - d above is such that in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved its Shareholders.

As Dr David Carland is a Director of Aguia, he is considered to be a related party under item a above and accordingly, shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11. Resolution 8 seeks the requisite shareholder approval to the issue of NED Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If shareholders approve Resolution 8, Aguia will be able to proceed with the issue of NED Options as set out above to Dr David Carland and/or his associates on the terms and conditions as set out in this Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting. If shareholders do not approve Resolution 8, Aguia will not be able to issue shares as set out above to Dr David Carland and/or his associates and the Board would need to consider alternative remuneration arrangements.

==> picture [77 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

NOTICE OF EGM

P a g e | 18

To ensure Aguia can attract and retain the right talent and align the interests of directors with those of shareholders, the Board considers it is important for Aguia to offer incentives to its directors and executives that are in line with market practice.

5. Additional Information

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the Company provides the following information in relation to the proposed issue of the share under Resolution 8:

  • a. Name of the person to receive securities

The NED Options will be issued to Dr David Carland (or his nominee).

  • b. Which category in rules 10.11.1 - 10.11.5 the person falls within and why

  • d. Terms of the securities

If approved under Resolution 8, Aguia expects to issue securities approved on/around 5 July 2021 but in any event, not later than 1 month after the Meeting.

  • f. The price the entity will receive for the issue

The NED Options will be issued for nil financial consideration and have an exercise price of $0.10.

  • g. Purpose of the issue

  • h. Remuneration

In FY21 it is anticipated that Dr Carland will be paid a total remuneration of $28,743.75 including $26,250.00 cash salary and $2,493.75 superannuation.

The NED Options will be issued under an offer letter. The key terms are outlined at 2 above in this Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting.

  • j. Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting preceding this Explanatory Memorandum.
