Notice of 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting ASX:AL3 AML3D Limited

EXPLANTORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of the shareholders of AML3D Limited (Company) in connection with the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of shareholders to be held on 17 July 2024.
1. RESOLUTION 1 - 2 RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES (UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1 and LISTING RULE 7.1A)
General
On 16 May 2024, the Company successfully raised $2.912 million (before costs) through the placement of total of 58,250,916 fully paid ordinary shares (35,333,057 under Listing Rule 7.1 and 22,917,859 under Listing Rule 7.1A) to sophisticated investors in accordance with the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (Placement).
By issuing those shares utilising these rules, the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval within those limits was accordingly reduced.
Resolution 1 and 2 seek the approval of shareholders to ratify the issue of these shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
ASX Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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 Placement does not fit within any of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under ASX listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the Share issue date.
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%.
The Company is an eligible entity and sought and received Shareholder approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 8 November 2023.
ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 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 under that rule.
To this end, resolution 1 and 2 seek shareholder approval of the Placement under 7.1 and 7.1A and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If resolution 1 and 2 are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Placement date.
If resolution 1 and 2 are not passed, the Share Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Placement date.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Share Issue.
The Placement was issued to a range of sophisticated investors (the Placement Participants ) to whom a prospectus does not need to be provided under the Corporations Act.
In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the Placement Participants were:
- Related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company or an associate of any of these parties;
Taylor Collison and Bell Potter acted as Joint Lead Managers and Cerberus Advisory acted as Corporate Advisor for the Placement. The placees were clients of the Joint Lead Managers or existing shareholders participating through their broker with the agreement of the Joint Lead Managers. The Corporate Advisor identified investors through a bookbuild process, which involved seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.
58,250,916 Placement shares were issued on the following basis:
-
35,333,057 Placement shares were issued at $0.05 per share pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1);
-
22,917,859 Placement shares were issued at $0.05 per share pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);
-
The placement shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1) and 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2) were not issued pursuant to an agreement.
The Placement shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing shares. The Placement shares were issued on 23 May 2024 and 27 May 2024. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement shares.
Notice of 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting
ASX:AL3 AML3D Limited
| 4
The proceeds from the issue of the Placement are intended to be applied to:
-
Establish US facility, expand sales team and technical resources;
-
R&D product development; and
-
Working capital and Placement Offer costs.
Voting Exclusions
In accordance with Listing Rule 14.11, the Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of the resolution 1 and 2 set out below by or on behalf of the following persons:
- A person who participated in the issue or is a counterparty to the agreement being approved (namely the Placement Participants) or an associate of that person or those persons;
However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of the Resolution by:
-
a person as a proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with the directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the Resolution in that way; or
-
the Chair as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote on the Resolution as the Chair decides; or
-
a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
-
beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and
-
the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of ratifying the Placement.
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
2. RESOLUTION 3 APPROVAL TO ISSUE DIRECTOR PLACEMENT SHARES TO MR PETER SIEBELS UNDER LISTING RULE 10.11
General
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 2,000,000 Shares (Director Placement Shares) to Mr Peter Siebels (and/or his nominees) at $0.05 per share, being the same price as the Placement.
Mr Siebels is the Company’s Non-Executive Director. Shareholder approval is required and is being sought for Resolution 3 because, as a Director, Mr Siebels, is a ‘related party’ of the Company. Accordingly, Listing Rule 10.11 applies and the Company must not issue equity securities to them without the approval of Shareholders.
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, pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act:
-
(i) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(ii) 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 proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares to Mr Siebels constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Siebels is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
Section 210 of the Corporations Act states that member approval is not needed to give a financial benefit on terms that:
-
(a) would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company or entity and the related party were dealing at arm's length; or
-
(b) are less favourable to the related party than the terms referred to in paragraph (a).
The Board has determined that the financial benefit given by the Company is reasonable in the circumstances as if the Company and the recipients were dealing at arm’s length. Specifically, the price per share is the same as other sophisticated and institutional investors under the Placement. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
Regulatory Requirements
Listing Rule 10.11 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues or agrees to issue securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval ought to be obtained, unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies. It is the Directors’ view that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. As such, Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 under Resolution 3.
As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not also required under Listing Rule 7.1.
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
Notice of 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting ASX:AL3 AML3D Limited

which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
Voting Exclusions
o
-
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 the Director Placement Shares 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 the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Director Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Mr Siebels (and/or his nominees).
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares.
Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares to Mr Siebels.
-
the Director Placement Shares are proposed to be issued to Mr Peter Siebels (and/or his nominees) who are related parties to the Company (Listing Rule 10.11.1 category) by virtue of being Directors;
-
the maximum number of Shares to be issued under Resolution 3 is 2,000,000;
-
the Director Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
the Director Placement Shares will be issued as soon as practicable after the date of the meeting and in any event within one month after the date of the Meeting;
-
the issue price for the Director Placement Shares will be $0.05 per Share, which was the same price under other Shares issued under the Placement. The consideration for the Shares will be the cash consideration of $100,000.
-
the issue of the Director Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate nor incentivise Mr Siebels but is to raise capital for the purpose of:
-
Establish US facility, expand sales team and technical resources;
-
R&D product development; and
-
Working capital and Placement Offer costs.
-
the Director Placement Shares will not be issued pursuant to any written share subscription agreement; and
-
a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 3 of the Notice.
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of resolution 3 by or on behalf of:
-
Mr Peter Siebels and any other person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1, 10.14.2 or 10.14.3 who is eligible to participate in the PROP, namely any Director of the Company; or
-
an associate of those persons.
However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:
-
a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or
-
the chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or
-
a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met
-
the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and
-
the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
o
Recommendation
Mr Siebels declined to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominees) is to be issued the Director Placement Shares should Resolution 3 be passed.
The remaining Board recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of approval to issue Director Placement Shares to Mr Peter Siebels.
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 3.
3. RESOLUTION 4 - GRANT OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS TO MR PETER SIEBELS
General
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1, the Company requires shareholder approval to issue equity securities under an employee incentive scheme to a Director of the Company. Accordingly, the Company is seeking the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 for the grant of 2,000,000 Options to Director Mr Peter Siebels (and/or his nominees), under the Company’s Performance Rights and Options Plan (“PROP”) on the terms set out below and subject to obtaining shareholder approval.
Notice of 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting ASX:AL3 AML3D Limited
| 6
The options will be issued pursuant to the Company’s Performance Rights and Options Plan (PROP), as described in the Company’s Prospectus and disclosed to the market at the time of Initial ASX Listing of the Company effective from 20 April 2020. The PROP was re-approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 23 November 2022. Details of the PROP were disclosed in the Prospectus in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(a). A copy of the PROP is available on the Company’s website at www.aml3d.com/investors and a summary of material terms is included at Annexure A.
Exception 14 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply where shareholder approval for an issue of securities is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. This means that if shareholder approval is obtained for Resolution 4, approval is not required for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 2,000,000 Options to Mr Peter Siebels under the PROP. As approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required, the issue of the Options will not use any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity. If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to Mr Peter Siebels, and the Board may consider other forms of remuneration for the Director’s Long-term Incentive and re-negotiation of these remuneration arrangements may require additional cash payments.
Information provided to Shareholders
For the purposes of the approval sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15 and for all other purposes, the following information is provided to shareholders in respect of the proposed grant of 2,000,000 options to Mr Peter Siebels under the PROP. Director Mr Peter Siebels falls within the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1. In the event the Options are issued to nominees of Mr Peter Siebels, they will fall within the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2.
Remuneration
Mr Peter Siebels’s total remuneration package other than the proposed options comprises $60,000 NonExecutive Director fees per annum plus statutory superannuation.
Details of Prior Grants
Since the PROP was originally disclosed to the market at the time of Initial ASX Listing of the Company effective from 20 April 2020, and re-approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 23 November 2022, Mr Peter Siebels has not received a grant of securities under the PROP.
Option Information
The Board considers that the issue of options will appropriately enhance the alignment of Director interests with that of shareholders. The number and exercise price of the options is comparable to options previously issued to non-executive directors under another option scheme that is no longer available. The options will be unquoted and will have no immediate dilutionary impact on shareholders. The issue of options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide costeffective non-cash remuneration and the Company will benefit from funds raised at the time of exercise of the options. The exercise price of $0.16 represents a significant premium to the current share price.
The indicative value of the Options based on the BlackScholes methodology as calculated by internal management is $70,516, being $0.035 per option, based on the option details as above and market conditions as at 15 May 2024.
Other Participants under ASX Listing Rule 10.14
The person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who is entitled to participate in the PROP is the Director of the Company: Mr Peter Siebels. Any additional persons referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the PROP after this resolution is approved will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
No loans
Number of Options
The maximum number of Options to be issued under Resolution 4 is 2,000,000 to Mr Peter Siebels (and/or his Nominees).
Key Terms of Options
The options will be exercisable from the date of issue and will expire five years from the date of issue. The options will not be quoted on ASX. No consideration will be payable for the grant of the options. Each option is an option to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share in the Company and the Company will apply for ASX quotation of shares issued upon exercise of the options. The exercise price is $0.16 per option. Options will be issued pursuant to the PROP Rules.
Unvested options do not entitle the holder to any voting rights, or legal or beneficial interest in the Company’s shares.
It is intended that options will be issued as soon as practicable after the date of approval and in any case no later than 12 months following the AGM.
No loans are proposed to be provided in relation to grant or exercise of the Options.
Disclosures
Details of any securities issued under the PROP will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which securities have been issued. This will include a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the PROP after resolution 4 is approved and who were not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
Other Material Terms
If this grant is approved, some or all of the options granted to Mr Peter Siebels may vest, lapse or remain on foot on cessation as a director, subject to the Board’s discretion. Under the PROP, the Board also has discretion to vest or lapse the options if there is a change of control.
Notice of 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting ASX:AL3 AML3D Limited
| 7
The PROP rules also give the Company the discretion to lapse unvested options, and claw back vested shares in certain circumstances (such as dishonesty, fraud or breach of material obligations).
The PROP can be amended by the Board, subject to the ASX Listing Rules.
Voting Exclusion Statement
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company will disregard any votes cast as proxy on resolution 4 by:
-
a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel (KMP) at the date of the AGM; or
-
a Closely Related Party of such a member.

-
the person is appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; or
-
the person is the chair of the meeting and the appointment of the chair as proxy:
-
does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and
-
expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Company’s KMP.
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of resolution 4 by or on behalf of:
-
Mr Peter Siebels and any other person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1, 10.14.2 or 10.14.3 who is eligible to participate in the PROP, namely any Director of the Company; or
-
an associate of those persons.
However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:
-
a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or
-
the chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or
-
a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met
-
the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and
-
the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
Recommendation
Mr Peter Siebels declines to make a recommendation to shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his
material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that they are to be issued the Options should Resolution 4 be passed.
The remaining Board recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of approval to issue Director Options to Mr Peter Siebels. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
4. RESOLUTION 5 APPROVAL TO ISSUE ADVISOR OPTIONS TO JOINT LEAD MANAGERS
General
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Advisor Options.
Bell Potter Securities Limited (ACN 006 390 772, AFSL 243480) (Bell Potter) and Taylor Collison Limited (ACN 008 172 450 AFSL 247083) (Taylor Collison) and Cerberus Advisory (Cerberus) (together the ‘JLMs’) were engaged by the Company to act as joint lead managers and corporate advisor to the Capital Raise.

The Advisor Options will be issued proportionately to the percentage of the Shortfall Placement placed (IE if 50% of the Shortfall Placement was placed, the JLMs would be entitled to a number of Advisor Options equal to 1.5% of the fully diluted ordinary shares in the Company following completion of the Offer).
