EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
INTRODUCTION – FOR ALL RESOLUTIONS
All of the resolutions proposed at the Meeting concern a fundraising announced by the Company on 12 May 2022.
The fundraising comprises a placement to raise approximately A$11 million before costs through the issue of Shares at $0.21 per Share and Convertible Notes with a Face Value of $1.00 (which convert into Shares at a price of $0.21 per Share), with investors entitled to receive (subject to Shareholder approval) attaching options equal to 50% of the number of Shares subscribed for (or into which the Convertible Notes convert).
The Placement will take place in three tranches:
-
Tranche 1 : 33,667,236 Shares which were issued to participants in the Placement on 20 May 2022; 2,806,159 Convertible Notes (which convert into 13,362,663 Shares) were agreed to be issued on or about 23 May 2022; and 513,948 Shares which will be issued conditional on Australian foreign investment approval being obtained (or not being legally being required), all of which are, or will be issued under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (17,147,336 Shares and 2,806,159 Convertible Notes which convert into 13,362,663 Shares) and the Company’s 10% Additional Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (17,033,848 Shares).
-
Tranche 2 : an additional 4,761,905 Shares and 26,193,903 Options are subject to Shareholder approval which is being sought at this Meeting.
The investors in the Placement are:
-
Pegasus Growth Capital Fund I, LP ( Pegasus ) – a fund managed by Pegasus Growth Capital, a US-based private equity firm
-
June Seventy Sixers LLC – representing offshore investors managed by Amaero’s US strategic advisor, Omer Granit
-
An institutional investor client of PAC Partners Securities Pty Ltd.
The resolutions ask Shareholders to ratify the issue of securities in Tranche 1, and approve the issue of securities in Tranche 2.
RESOLUTION 1 - RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND THEIR UNDERLYING SECURITIES PURSUANT TO ASX LISTING RULE 7.4
As part of the Placement, Pegasus subscribed for 2,806,159 Convertible Notes with a Face Value of A$1.00 each.
These Convertible Notes were agreed to be issued to Pegasus on or about 23 May 2022.
The Convertible Notes convert into a total of 13,362,663 Shares ( Conversion Shares ), at an agreed conversion price of A$0.21 per share.
The material terms of the Convertible Notes are summarised in Schedule 1.
In particular, the Convertible Notes can only be converted to Shares once Australian foreign investment approval is obtained (or is not legally required), as noted in Schedule 1.
The Company issued the Convertible Notes and provided for the issue of the Conversion Shares without prior Shareholder approval using its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to 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 Convertible Notes and the Conversion Shares do not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it 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.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of 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 therefore does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further securities without shareholder approval. The Company wishes to retain flexibility to potentially issue further securities in the future.
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Convertible Notes and the Conversion Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Convertible Notes and the Conversion Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Convertible Notes and the Conversion Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, decreasing the number of securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Convertible Notes and the Conversion Shares.
Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 1:
1. Name of the person/s to whom the Company issued the securities:
Noteholder: Pegasus Growth Capital Fund I ( Pegasus )
The Noteholder is not:
-

-

-

As a result of its participation in the Placement, Pegasus has become a substantial holder of the Company, owning approximately 9.9% of the Shares on issue..
2. Number and class of securities issued:

The Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (17,147,336 Shares) and the Company’s 10% Additional Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (17,033,848 Shares).
The Company seeks ratification of the issue of the 33,667,236 of the Placement Shares which were issued on 20 May 2022 and of the agreement to issue the remaining 513,948 Placement Shares which is conditional on Australian foreign investment approval being obtained (or not being legally required).
Listing Rule 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities a listed company can issue without shareholder approval over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period. Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its shareholders, by way of a special resolution passed at a general meeting, to increase the 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company sought and obtained this approval at its annual general meeting on 26 November 2021.
The issue of Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval.
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, increasing the number of securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, decreasing the number of securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

| Mandatory Redemption | If an event of default (including a liquidation process) in respect of the |
|---|---|
| on a Liquidation Event | Issuer (Liquidation Event) occurs, the Investor will be entitled to |
| redeem their Convertible Notes for the full Face Value together with | |
| accrued but unpaid interest subject to the remediation right referred to | |
| below. | |
| Security: | Unsecured. |
| Events of Default: | Customary events of default will be included in the Convertible Note |
| Deed Poll. To the extent practicable, the Issuer will have at least 21 | |
| days to remedy the event of default before a redemption demand can | |
| be made by Noteholders. | |
| No voting etc rights | The Convertible Notes do not confer on the Investor any entitlement to: |
| attend or vote at a general meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders; | |
| receive dividends; or participate in any rights issue, bonus issue or | |
| other equivalent offer or invitation of Shares or other securities to the | |
| holders of Shares, | |
| other than upon the issue of Shares on conversion of the Convertible | |
| Notes. | |
| For the purposes of this paragraph, ‘other equivalent offer or invitation | |
| of Shares or other securities to the holders of Shares’ means a new | |
| issue with a minimum issue price of the new shares that is no less than | |
| 75% of the trading price (i.e. a maximum 25% discount, based on the | |
| previous 15-day volume weighted average price). | |
| Limited Transfer Rights: | Noteholders to have a right to transfer the Convertible Notes to related |

| change in beneficial holding) and other associates (as applicable), with | |
| prior consent of the Issuer, and provided a proposed transferee each | |
| enter into an accession deed agreeing to be bound by the Convertible | |
| Note Purchase Agreement. The Issuer may refuse consent at its | |
| discretion, including where it believes that any transfer may delay or | |
| hinder achieving the FIRB Approval condition. |
Reconstruction of share If there is a reconstruction (including a consolidation, subdivision, capital reduction and/or return) of the issued capital of the Issuer which impacts on the conversion rights of a Noteholder, such conversion rights will be reconstructed in the same proportion as the issued capital of the Issuer is reconstructed and in a manner which will result in an equivalent benefit being conferred on a Noteholder to that which is conferred on the Issuer’s shareholders. In all other respects, the terms for conversion of the Convertible Notes will remain unchanged. Transaction expenses: Issuer to reimburse the Investor for costs of external Australian legal counsel engaged by the Investor (and other related expenses) to satisfy the FIRB Approval condition, otherwise each party must pay its own costs and expenses in respect of the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this document, and the Convertible Note Documents.

Schedule 2
Option Terms
-
Each Option entitles the Investor to acquire by way of issue one Share on exercise of the Option.
-
The exercise price of each Option is AUD 0.42. (Where the Investor exercises the Options by paying cash, the exercise price is payable in AUD, on a fixed exchange rate of 1.00 AUD to USD 0.6949.)
-
The Options are exercisable at any time: (i) after the Options are issued; and (ii) up to 5.00 pm (Melbourne time) on the date that is three (3) years after the date of the Option Closing ( Exercise Period ).
-
An Option not exercised before the end of the Exercise Period will be subject to the ‘Net Issue Exercise’ process described in paragraph 15 (unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer and Investor at that time).
-
The Options may be exercised in whole or in part during the Exercise Period by: (i) notice in writing to the Issuer ( Notice of Exercise ) and: (ii) (A) payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in Australian currency by electronic funds transfer or other means of payment acceptable to the Issuer; or (B) via the Net Issue Exercise process described in item 15 below.
-
A Notice of Exercise is only effective on and from the later of the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the date of receipt of the payment of the Exercise Price (or the issue of Shares through the Net Issue Exercise process) for each Option being exercised in cleared funds ( Exercise Date ).
-
As soon as practicable after the Exercise Date, the Issuer will: issue the number of Shares required under these terms in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company (or the number of Shares required as a result of the Net Issue Exercise process).
-
Shares issued on exercise of the Options will rank equally in all respects with the then issued Shares.
-
(a) Subject to paragraph (b), there are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and the holder will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options without exercising the Options and unless Shares have been allotted in respect of the Options before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue. The Issuer will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 3 business days after the issue is announced. This will give the Investor the opportunity to exercise the Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
-
(b) For the purposes of paragraph (a), ‘ new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options ’ means a new issue with a minimum issue price of the new shares that is no less than 75% of the trading price (i.e. a maximum 25% discount, based on the previous 15-day volume weighted average price). An issue at a greater discount than this is referred to in these terms as a ‘ Deeply Discounted Issue ’.
-
If, after the Option issue date and prior to the Exercise Date, there occurs any reconstruction of the issued capital of the Issuer (including a consolidation, share split, bonus issue, reduction, sub-division or return of capital), the entitlement of the Investor to exercise the Options must be reconstructed in the same proportion and manner as the issued capital of the Issuer is reconstructed and in a manner which will not result in any additional benefits being conferred on the Investor which are not conferred on holders of Shares and, so far as is possible does not prejudice the Investor, but in all other respects, the terms of the Options will remain unchanged.

-
There will be no change to the applicable Exercise Price of an Option or the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable in the event of the Issuer making a pro rata issue of Shares or other securities to the holders of Shares (other than for a Bonus Issue or a Deeply Discounted Issue).
-
If before the expiry of any Options, the Company makes a pro rata issue of Shares to Shareholders for no consideration ( Bonus Issue ) or a Deeply Discounted Issue, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue or the Deeply Discounted Issue.
-
Holders of Options have no voting rights until the Options are exercised and Shares issued on exercise of those Options.
-
The Options are not transferable.
-
Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising the Option in the manner provided above in Section 5, the Investor may elect to receive shares equal to the value of the Options (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of the Option to the Issuer together with notice of such election on a purchase/exercise form provided by the Issuer, duly executed by or on behalf of the Investor, in which event the Issuer shall issue to holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:
X = Y (A - B)
A
Where X = The number of Shares to be issued to the Investor.
Y = The number of Shares purchasable under this Option (at the date of such calculation).
A = The fair market value of one Share (at the date of such calculation).
B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
For purposes of this Section 15, the fair market value of one Share on the date of calculation shall mean:
-
(a) where the Issuer is admitted to the official list of the ASX, the fair market value per share shall be equal to the average of the closing price of the Issuer’s Shares quoted on the ASX, for the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value;
-
(b) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public offering of the Issuer’s Shares, and if the Issuer’s Registration Statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the fair market value of Shares shall be the initial “Price to Public” per share of the Issuer’s Common Stock specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering multiplied by the number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock into which a share of Common Stock is then convertible;
-
(c) if the exercise is in connection with an offer for the Shares made by a third party on arm’s length commercial terms, which is accepted by shareholders owning more than 50.1% of the Shares on issue, then the fair market value of Shares shall be the price per Share accepted by those shareholders; or
-
(d) if paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) are not applicable, the fair market value shall be at the highest price per share which the Issuer could obtain on the date of calculation from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for Shares sold by the Issuer, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Board.
-
If no Options are issued. If the Options are not issued because FIRB Approval and/or Shareholder Approval is not obtained (and the Investor has complied with its obligations in respect of obtaining such approvals), then the parties agree that:
