Under the Company’s Constitution (clause 20.2), one third of Directors, or the whole number nearest to one third, (not including the managing director or persons appointed to fill a casual vacancy) must retire from office annually and, if eligible, may offer themselves for re-election.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than Ms. Andersen) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Ms. Andersen.

RESOLUTION 3: APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

General

Listing Rule 7.1A permits an "eligible entity" which has obtained shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to issue "equity securities" (as defined in the Listing Rules and which includes shares and options to acquire shares) up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a maximum 12 month period after the relevant annual general meeting (the 10% Placement Facility ).

The issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility would be in addition to the Company's ability to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Broadly, Listing Rule 7.1 permits the Company to issue up to 15% of its issued equity capital without Shareholder approval over a 12 month period.

An "eligible entity" for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that, as at the date of the relevant special resolution under that Rule, is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. If the special resolution were voted on at the date of the Notice, the Company would satisfy the eligible entity requirements, and the Directors believe that the Company would continue to satisfy those requirements on the date of the Meeting.

Other than raising capital to complete the acquisition of DIAsource Immunoassays S.A. (“ DIAsource ”) (as announced on 26 August, 2015), the Company presently has no intention to raise further capital via this 10% Placement Facility. The directors, however, are of the opinion that it is prudent to have such a facility in place to provide flexibility on capital raising alternatives should they be required in the coming 12 months. The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during a maximum period of 12 months after the Meeting without subsequent Shareholder approval and in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

2

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012.

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

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 the Notice, has on issue two classes of equity securities, being Shares and unquoted options to subscribe for Shares.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

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 a period of up to 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting (see paragraph (f) below – "10% Placement Period"), a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or date of agreement to issue:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%

E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has the capacity to issue:

  • (i) 128,597,174 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3, 85,731,449 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

3

The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section (c) above).

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP (volume weighted average price) of Shares calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in Shares were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Shares are to be issued is agreed; or (ii) if the Shares are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Shares are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

(the 10% Placement Period ).

Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Listing Rule 7.3A sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting seeking an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A. The following information is provided for that purpose.

(a) Minimum Price

See section (e) above.

(b) Risk of dilution

Any issue of Shares under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the relevant equity securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the equity securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the relevant equity securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of an issue price of $0.092 per Share (being the market price of Shares as at 31 August 2015 and the current value for the variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of the Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable "A" (being the number of Shares on issue) has increased, namely by 50% and by 100%. Variable "A" could increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific

4

placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the assumed issue price of $0.092 per Share has changed: one, where it has decreased by 50% and two, where it has increased by 100%.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The issue price is $0.092 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 31 August 2015.

  • (ii) The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (iii) No options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the equity securities.

  • (iv) The 10% dilution reflects the aggregate percentage voting dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (v) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • (vi) The table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vii) The issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of equity securities includes options, it is assumed that those options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

(c) Issue Dates

The Company will only issue and allot the equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period.

5

(d) Purpose of Issues

The Company may seek to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility for cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use the funds raised for further development of its existing products and/or to potentially fund the development of existing products into new markets of interest and general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules upon issue of any equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

(e) Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of the equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including a rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees of any equity securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

(f) Previous Approvals under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval to a 10% Placement Facility at the 2014 AGM. As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.6, details of all securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, are as follows:

Note: Fully paid Ordinary Shares issued on 28 May 2015 were issued to institutional and private investors by way of a capital raising. Investors were certified by the lead manager as sophisticated investors .

To date, the Company has spent approximately $100,000 of the $1,675,500 raised. Funds have been used for the continuing development of the Company’s nanoglue technology, to enhance the Company’s ability to undertake expansion and growth plans as well being used for the Company’s general working capital requirements. Unused funds will continue to be used for these purposes.

In particular, the share placement allowed the Company to continued development of its nanoglue technology in the battery sector.

  • (g) Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached nor intends to approach any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in the issue of any equity securities, and the Company has not formed an intention in relation to how it will decide which parties it might approach to participate in any issue of equity securities that might be made under the 10% Placement Facility. Assuming that remains the case at the time of the Meeting (which the Directors currently believe will be the case) no Shareholder's votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

Directors' Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

RESOLUTION 4: RATIFICATION OF SHARE ISSUE

Background

The Company issued 12,500,000 Shares on 28 May 2015 at an issue price of $0.08 under its 15% placement capacity and now seeks, pursuant to Resolution 4, to ratify the allotment and issue of those Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of shares made without prior Shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold. The purpose and effect of such ratification is to restore the Company’s discretionary power to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital without requiring Shareholder approval.

7

The Company proposes to ratify this previous issue of Shares in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4. The issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 4 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in relation to the Shares is provided to Shareholders for the purpose of this resolution:

  • (a) All 12,500,000 Shares issued are fully paid and rank equally in all respects with existing ordinary shares.

  • (b) All Shares were issued to First Cape Management Pty Ltd and Masali Pty Ltd, which are sophisticated investors within the meaning of Section 708 of the Corporations Act.

  • (c) The total number of shares issued was 12,500,000 on 28 May 2015 at an issue price of $0.08.

  • (d) The funds were raised for the continuing development of the Company’s nanoglue technology in the battery sector, to enhance the Company’s ability to undertake expansion and growth plans as well being used for the Company’s general working capital requirements.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

RESOLUTION 5: APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH DIASOURCE IMMUNOASSAYS SA

Background

The purpose of Resolution 5 is to seek approval to issue shares to shareholders of DIAsource Immunoassays SA (“ DIAsource ”) as part of the acquisition announced by the Company on 26 August, 2015. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement between the Company and the sellers of DIAsource, the sellers can elect to take all or part of their portion of the purchase price in Shares.

The Initial Payment is payable at completion which is due to occur within 3 months after the date of the Meeting. Accordingly, the purpose of Resolution 5 is to seek shareholder approval to issue Shares to the sellers of DIAsource should they elect to take all or part of the Initial Payment in Shares rather than cash.

If the sellers of DIAsource are entitled to be paid the Earn-out amounts in 2017 (up to a maximum of €7.266 million), they must take at least 20% in Shares. As at the date of the Notice, it is anticipated that the Company will use its 15% placement capacity to issue such Shares.

Requirement under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for issues of securities in any twelve month period where the amount of securities to be issued exceeds 15% of the current issued capital of the company. If the Sellers of DIAsource elect to take Shares rather than cash, there is the possibility that the Company may exceed the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3.

The following information in relation to the share placement to DIAsource shareholders is provided to Shareholders for the purpose of this resolution:

  • (a) The maximum number of Shares that the Company will issue will be determined by:

  • i. the number of Sellers who elect to take Shares rather than cash for all or part of their portion of the Initial Payment; and

8

ii. dividing the relevant amount (after converting from Euros to AUD) by the issue price (see item (c) below).

Note: as the purchase price is in EUR, the actual number of shares issued will not be able to be determined until the date of issue due to fluctuations in the exchange rate between EUR and AUD .

  • (b) The Shares will be issued to the sellers no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • (c) The minimum price will be 80% of the VWAP (volume weighted average price)of Shares calculated over the last 5 days on which the Shares were traded immediately before Shares under the placement are to be issued.

  • (d) The Shares will be issued to those sellers of DIAsource (i.e. shareholders) who elect to take Shares rather than cash for all or part of their portion of the Initial Payment.

  • (e) The shares will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with existing ordinary shares.

Potential Dilution

The following table is for illustrative purposes only and shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders should the sellers of DIAsource elect to take Shares rather than cash for the Initial Payment.

To assist Shareholders, the table shows the potential dilution should the sellers of DIAsource elect to take 1%, 5%, 10% or 20% of the Initial Payment in Shares.

As at the date of the Notice, it is anticipated that the sellers of DIAsource will elect to take a maximum of 20% of the Initial Payment in Shares.

The table is purely for illustrative purposes and has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) the issue price is $0.10 being the closing price of Shares on ASX on 10 August, 2015

  • (ii) No options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of Shares.

  • (iii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of issue of Shares to the sellers of DIAsource based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
