6
Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to help Shareholders understand the items of business at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
1 Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act requires that the report of the Directors, the Auditor’s report and the financial report for the Company for the year end 30 June 2021 be laid before the Meeting.
Neither the Corporations Act nor the Company’s Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders at the Meeting on the reports or statements. However, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to raise questions with respect to these reports at the Meeting.
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company is not required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. Shareholders may view the Company's annual report on the Company's website or may request a copy from the Company at any time.
A reasonable opportunity will be given to Shareholders at the Meeting to ask the Company’s Auditor questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the Auditor.
2 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 a vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive and non-executive directors.
Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass this Resolution will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
However, under sections 250U and 250Y of the Corporations Act, Shareholders have 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 must stand for reelection.
The Company was not required to include a remuneration report in its Annual Report for the 2020 financial year. Accordingly, at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting, there was no advisory vote in respect of a remuneration report for the year end 30 June 2020.
In summary, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if there is a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the next annual general meeting the consequences are that all Directors (other than the Managing Director) may be up for re-election.
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 appointing the Chair as proxy, you are 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 Deanne Weir as a Director
Deanne Weir was appointed as a Director of the Company in 2010.
3.1
Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.5
Listing Rule 14.5 provides that a company which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.
The note to Listing Rule 14.5 states as follows:
Note: This rule applies even where no director is required to stand for re-election at an annual general meeting under rule 14.4. An entity must have at least one director stand for election or re-election at each annual general meeting. If it is not having a new director stand for election and no director is due to stand for re-election under rule 14.4, the entity must select at least one of its existing directors to stand for re-election. Typically an entity will do this by calling for a volunteer or by drawing lots.
Rule 7.1(d)(iv) of the Constitution provides that, where the ASX Listing Rules require an election to be held and no Director would otherwise be required to submit for election or re-election (under Rules 7.1(d)(i) or (ii)), a Director who wishes to retire and offer himself or herself for re-election may do so. As at the time of this Meeting, there are no Directors required to retire under Rules 7.1(d)(i) or (ii) of the Constitution.
In accordance with Rule 7.1(d)(iv) of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.5, Deanne Weir retires as Director and offers herself for re-election as a Director at this Meeting.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
4 Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility to provide the Company with additional flexibility to issue Equity Securities in appropriate circumstances. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (described further below).
8
4.1 ASX 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% for the 12 months following that meeting.
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without further Shareholder approval ( 10% Placement Facility ).
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Further requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained (which, in the case of Resolution 3 will be 3 November 2022);
-
the time and date of the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting; or
-
the date of the approval by holders of ordinary securities of a transaction under ASX 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” ).
Class of Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
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 this Notice of Meeting, has only one quoted class of Equity Security, being Shares.
Issue price of Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A3
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under ASX 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 immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in the paragraph above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,
(the “ Minimum Price ”).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A4
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4 when it issues Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the
9
date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A = The number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of the 12 months immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement to issue (the relevant period):
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with shareholder approval 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;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.
Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
-
D = 10%
-
E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
4.3 Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
Placement Period
If Shareholder approval is granted for Resolution 3, that approval will expire at the end of the 10% Placement Period as described further above.
Minimum Price
The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than the Minimum Price.
Purpose
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration, in order to raise funds for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such
10
acquisitions), to expedite development of the Company’s business and for general working capital.
Dilution
Shareholders should be aware that there is a risk of economic and voting dilution that may result from an issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, including the risk that:
-
the market price for Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the meeting where approval is sought (i.e. the date of this Meeting); and
-
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the date of issue.
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Equity Securities under the issue.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 on the basis of the market price of Shares (as at close of trade on 6 October 2021 (“ Issue Price ”)) and the current number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Facility.
| Number of Shares on issue: Variable "A" in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.49 | $0.98 | $1.96 | ||
| 50% decrease in Issue Price |
Issue Price | 100% increase in Issue Price |
||
| Current Variable A |

| 209,500,203 | Funds raised | $11,941,511.40 | $23,883,022.80 | $47,766,045.60 |

| 314,250,305 | Funds raised | $17,912,267.10 | $35,824,534.20 | $71,649,068.40 |
| 100% increase in current Variable A |

| 419,000,406 | Funds raised | $23,883,023.37 | $47,766,046.74 | $95,532,093.48 |
The table also shows two examples of where:
-
two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval, for example, a pro rata entitlement offer or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the Issue Price.
11
The table above has been prepared on the following additional assumptions:
-
the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Placement Facility; and
-
the table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Allocation Policy
The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not yet been determined. However the allottees could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both).
The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to a range of factors including:
-
the purpose of the issue;
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the circumstances of the Company, including the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Prior approval and issues under 7.1A.2
The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s 2020 AGM held on 16 November 2020.
The Company has issued a total of 3,765,208 Equity Securities in the 12 months preceding this Meeting under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which represents approximately 2.61% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The Company issued 3,765,208 Shares on under an institutional placement announced on 28 April 2021 at an issue price of $0.80 per Share at a 14% discount to the Company’s last closing price prior to the date of the announcement (which was $0.93 per Share), raising a total of approximately $3,012,166 before costs. The purpose of the placement was to raise funds for the acquisition of EEG Enterprises, Inc. The placement was subsequently approved by Shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting on 29 June 2021 ( EGM ).
