Persons Entitled to Vote

The Form of Instruction (accompanying this Notice of Meeting) must be signed by the depositary interest holder or an attorney duly authorised in writing and deposited at the office of the Depositary, Computershare Investor Services PLC, located at The Pavilions, Bridgewater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY by 4:00 pm (UK Time) on 18 October 2023. Any Form of Instruction received after that time will not be valid for the Meeting.

CREST Voting

Holders of Depositary Interests in CREST may transmit voting instructions by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have

3

appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for instructions made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a “ CREST Voting Instruction ”) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear’s specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com ).

To be effective, the CREST Voting Instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company’s agent (3RA50) no later than 4:00 pm (UK Time) on 18 October 2023.

For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the Company’s agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. Holders of Depositary Interests in CREST and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the Depositary Interest holder concerned to take (or, if the Depositary Interest holder is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST voting service by any particular time. In this connection, Depositary Interest holders and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

Should you wish to discuss the matters in this Notice of Meeting please do not hesitate to contact the Company Secretary on +61 8 6555 2950.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL

1.1 Background

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to consolidate the Company's issued capital on the basis that:

  • (a) every 1,000 Shares be consolidated into 1 Share (subject to rounding);

  • (b) every 1000 Options be consolidated into 1 Option (subject to rounding), and otherwise adjusted in accordance with Listing Rule 7.22;

  • (c) every 1000 Performance Rights be consolidated into 1 Performance Right (subject to rounding); and

  • (d) the conversion price of each Convertible Note be adjusted as detailed in Section 1.6 below,

( Consolidation ).

1.2 Legal requirements

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.

1.3 Fractional entitlements

Not all security holders will hold that number of Securities which can be evenly divided by 1,000. Fractional entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

1.4 Taxation

It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for security holders arising from the Consolidation. However, security holders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and neither the Company, nor its advisers, accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.

1.5

Holding statements

From the date that is two Business Days after the Effective Date (as set out in the timetable in Section 1.7 below), all holding statements for Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a post-Consolidation basis.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SECURITIES

2.1 General

The Company is proposing to issue up to 31,000,000 Shares (on a postConsolidation basis) ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price equal to 80% discount to the volume weighted average price per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis) traded on the ASX during the seven (7) trading days immediately preceding the Meeting ( Issue Price ). Investors who subscribe for Placement Shares will also receive one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for and issued (on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1).

The Placement Shares and Options are proposed to be issued to unrelated investors identified by the Company that are exempt from the disclosure requirements in section 708 of the Corporations Act. The investors will not be associates of one another for the purposes of section 606 of the Corporations Act.

8

In addition, the Company notes that regardless of the prevailing Issue Price, it will not accept subscriptions for Placement Shares to raise an amount in excess of $12,400,000.

2.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the Placement Shares and free attaching Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

2.3

Use of Funds

The table below sets out the Company’s intended use of funds raised by the issue of the Placement Shares, assuming that the Company raises a maximum of AU$12,400,000 from the issue.

These funds are expected to be expended over the 18 months following the completion of the placement.

prospectus for quotation of the Shares on the LSE)
400,000
Share registry 150,000
Total 12,400,000 100.00%

The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

It is noted that the amount raised may fluctuate based on the final Issue Price, which is directly correlated to the Company’s Share price in the 7 trading days prior to the Meeting. As at close of trading on 20 September 2023, the Company’s Share price was AU$0.002 (or AU$2 on a post-Consolidation basis). The below table demonstrates the effects of such fluctuations at various prices:

AU$5.00 AU$1.00 AU$12,400,000 12,400,000 6,200,000

In the event that less than the full AU$12,400,000 is raised the Company intends to pay all costs associated with the future placement and any accrued and/or fixed working capital expenses, with the remainder of the line items to be reduced proportionate to their percentage allocations in the above table.

10

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares and free attaching Options. In addition, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares and free attaching Options. In addition, if Resolution 1 is not passed and the Company is not otherwise able to obtain bridging finance to cover its immediate working capital costs, there will be a material uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Shares and free attaching Options.

2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Placement Shares and free attaching Options will be issued to unrelated professional investors, sophisticated investors and/or other investors that are exempt from the disclosure requirements in section 708 of the Corporations Act, who will be identified by the Directors. The recipients will be identified through a bookbuild process, which will involve the Directors and/or a Company appointed broker(s) seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from nonrelated parties of the Company.

None of the recipients of the Placement Shares and attaching Options will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company.

  • (b) the maximum number of Placement Shares to be issued is 31,000,000. As the free attaching Options will be issued on a 1 for 2 basis, as such, the maximum number of Options to be issued is 15,500,000. In addition, the Company will not accept subscriptions for Placement Shares to raise in excess of AU$12,400,000. The Placement Shares issued 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 terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (c) the Placement Shares and Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Placement Shares and Options will occur on the same date;

11

  • (d) the issue price of the Placement Shares will be equal to the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX (on a postConsolidation basis) during the seven (7) trading days immediately preceding the Meeting, with an eighty percent (80%) discount, per Placement Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares. The Options are being issued free attaching, on the basis of 1 Option for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed for and issued;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue is to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply as detailed in section 2.3 above;

  • (f) the Placement Shares and Options are being issued to professional and sophisticated investors identified by the Directors under standard subscription agreements. These agreements will be on customary terms, whereby the investor will subscribe for an agreed number of Placement Shares (together with attaching Options), which will be issued to the investor on an agreed future subscription date within three months of the date of the Meeting, subject to (1) receipt of shareholder approval pursuant to this Resolution and (2) payment of the corresponding subscription funds by the investor; and

  • (g) the Placement Shares and Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

2.6 Dilution

Assuming the maximum number of Placement Shares are issued and no other Shares are issued, the number of Shares on issue would increase from 4,427,968 (being the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice on a postConsolidation basis) to 35,427,968 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 87.5%. If all attaching Options are exercised, an additional 15,500,000 Shares would be issued, which would have a further dilutive effect on existing Shareholders.
