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 – APPROVAL TO AMEND TERMS OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES (2020)
1.1 General
As announced on 10 September 2020, the Company entered into an agreement ( Convertible Securities Agreement (2020) ) with Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund, LLC ( Mercer ), whereby Mercer conditionally agreed to provide the Company with up to A$15 million in funding, via subscriptions for convertible notes in the Company with a face value of A$1.00 each ( Convertible Notes (2020) ).
Under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020) a total of 6,325,000 Convertible Notes (2020) were issued in two tranches (representing drawdowns of A$5,750,000). The Convertible Notes (2020) were approved for issue (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1) or ratified (pursuant Listing Rule 7.4) by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting on 4 November 2020.
As at the date of this Notice, a total of 4,225,000 Convertible Notes (2020) have been converted into Shares and the balance of 2,100,000 Convertible Notes (2020) remain on issue ( Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) ).
As announced on 2 February 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Mercer ( CN (2020) Variation Agreement ), pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020):
-
(a) to extend the maturity date of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) from 24 November 2022 to 1 February 2024 (with effect from 23 November 2022); and
-
(b) subject to obtaining Shareholder approval prior to 31 March 2023, to amend the minimum conversion price of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) from “not less than A$0.018” to “not less than A$0.01”.
In consideration for agreeing to the variation, the Company agreed to issue Mercer 50,000,000 Options on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3.
Pursuant to this Resolution 1, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to amend the terms of issue of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) by reducing the minimum conversion price from A$0.018 to A$0.01.
The Company notes that pursuant to the CN (2020) Variation Agreement, an additional event of default was added to the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020) such that if the Company does not receive Shareholder approval for the proposed variation to the floor price of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) by 31 March 2023 (or such later date agreed by Mercer), the Company will be in default under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020). The Company considers this additional event of default to be appropriate and equitable to Shareholders for the following reasons:
- (a) Without the extension to the maturity date (as provided for under the CN (2020) Variation Agreement) the Company was in technical default under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020), as it had not
6
complied with its obligation to repay the face value of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) (plus accrued but unpaid interest) within 20 business days of the maturity date (being 24 November 2022 prior to the variation).
-
(b) Due to prevailing market conditions, repayment of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) was not a viable option for the Company. With further drawdowns under the Mercer facility contingent on the passing of Resolutions 1 and 2, and no guarantee the Company would be able to source additional capital, a default of this nature would raise solvency concerns and cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
-
(c) As announced on 2 February 2023, Mercer (in good faith) agreed to terms for the refinancing of the existing facilities (as detailed above and in section 2.1). Mercer is one of the Company’s top 5 shareholders, and has continued to support the Company since its initial involvement with MGC in 2020. The ongoing support and funding from Mercer has been for the benefit of all shareholders.
During the period August 2022 to January 2023, MXC’s share price deteriorated to a point where it was trading below the minimum conversion price of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) (i.e. below $0.018).
In the Company’s view, it is therefore reasonable that as part of the refinancing negotiations, Mercer have asked for the conversion floor price to be reduced below the prevailing market price, in order to make a return on its investment.
- (d) Shareholders would expect the Company to fund its continued operations to remain solvent. Prior to the refinancing, the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020) already contained customary events of default linked to the solvency of the Company as well as the Company’s ability to meet its obligations under the agreement and pay amounts when due and payable. As such, the addition of an event of default tied to Shareholder approval for the revised floor price, in the context of the Company’s present circumstances and the broader refinancing transaction, leaves Shareholders no worse off (in all material respects).
1.2 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 or agree to 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 12 month period.
As noted above, the Convertible Notes (2020) were approved for issue (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1) or ratified (pursuant Listing Rule 7.4) by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting on 4 November 2020. As such, the 15% cap under Listing Rule 7.1 does not presently apply to the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020). However, ASX has advised the Company that any reduction to the minimum conversion price of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) would render the applicable prior Shareholder approval(s) stale. This means that before the variation to the minimum floor price can take effect, the Company either needs to, (1) have sufficient placement capacity, or (2) seek fresh Shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
7
In light of the above, the Company and Mercer agreed that the proposed variation to the minimum conversion price would be subject to Shareholder approval.
1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) (and any Shares issued on conversion of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020)) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue or agree to issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is not passed (and assuming Shareholder approval for the proposed reduction to the minimum conversion price of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) has not otherwise been obtained by 31 March 2023, or such later date agreed by the parties), it would constitute an event of default under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020) and in Mercer’s sole discretion it may:
-
(a) declare all outstanding obligations by the Company under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020) (including without limitation any amount of the face value of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) to be immediately due and payable; or
-
(b) terminate the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020), in which case any amounts payable under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020) (including without limitation any amount of the face value of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) to Mercer, become immediately payable.
1.4 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 Remaining Convertible Notes (2020), were issued to Mercer, who is not a related party of the Company;
-
(b) the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) were issued to Mercer on 24 November 2020. The proposed variation to the minimum floor price will take effect immediately upon passage of this Resolution 1;
-
(c) an aggregate of 2,100,000 Convertible Notes (2020) were issued, which will convert into a maximum of 210,000,000 Shares[1] ;
-
(d) the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Part 2 of Schedule 1.
-
(e) any Shares issued on the conversion of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) 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;
-
(f) the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) were issued at an issue price of A$1.00 per Convertible Note (2020). The Company will not receive any
1 This assumes that the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) are converted at the lowest possible conversion price (being A$0.01, assuming Resolution 1 is approved). The actual number of Shares to be issued on conversion will be calculated in accordance with the conversion formula for the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020), as detailed in Part 2 of Schedule 1.
8
other consideration for the issue of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020);
- (g) the purpose of the issue of the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) was to raise A$2,100,000, which the Company applied in accordance with the table set out below;
| Allocation of Funds | |
|---|---|
| Research and Development (incl. clinical studies) | A$1,000,000 |
| Production Costs | A$600,000 |
| Corporate Administration | A$500,000 |
| Total | A$ 2,100,000 |
- (h) the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) were issued pursuant to the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020), a summary of which is included in Part 1 of Schedule 1; and
(i) the Remaining Convertible Notes (2020) were not issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO AMEND TERMS OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES A (2022)
2.1 General
As announced on 29 July 2022, the Company entered into an agreement ( Convertible Securities Agreement (2022) ) with Mercer, whereby Mercer conditionally agreed to provide the Company with up to a total of US$10 million in funding, via subscriptions for convertible notes in the Company with a face value of US$1.00 each ( Convertible Notes (2022) ).
During the period from 4 August 2022 to 1 November 2022, the Company drew down an aggregate of US$3,100,000 in exchange for the issue of 3,410,000 Convertible Notes (2022) ( Convertible Notes A (2022) ). The Convertible Notes A (2022) were approved for issue (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1) or ratified (pursuant Listing Rule 7.4) by Shareholders at a General Meeting of shareholders held on 5 October 2022 and the Company’s AGM held on 24 November 2022.
During the period from 28 December 2022 to 6 February 2023, the Company drew down an additional US$1,133,120 in exchange for the issue of 1,246,432 Convertible Notes (2022) ( Convertible Notes B (2022) ). The Convertible Notes B (2022) were issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.
As at the date of this Notice no Convertible Notes (2022) have been converted and 4,656,432 Convertible Notes (2022) are on issue.
As announced on 2 February 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Mercer ( CSA Variation Agreement ), pursuant to which the parties agreed:
-
(a) to vary the minimum conversion price of all Convertible Notes (2022) that were or will be issued after 23 December 2022 (including the Convertible Notes B (2022)) to A$0.01; and
-
(b) subject to Shareholder approval, to vary the minimum conversion price of the Convertible Notes A (2022) to A$0.01.
9
ASX has confirmed that if the proposed variations to the Convertible Notes A (2022) are effected, the Shareholder approvals previously obtained by the Company in respect of the Convertible Notes A (2022) will become stale.
As such, pursuant to this Resolution 2, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to amend the terms of issue of the Convertible Notes A (2022) by reducing the minimum conversion price from A$0.014 to A$0.01.
The Company notes that pursuant to the CSA Variation Agreement, an additional event of default was added to the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022) such that if the Company does not receive Shareholder approval for the proposed variation to the floor price of the Convertible Notes A (2022) by 31 March 2023 (or such later date agreed by Mercer), the Company will be in default under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022). The Company considers this additional event of default to be appropriate and equitable to Shareholders for the following reasons:
-
(a) Although the Company is not presently in default under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022), the variation to the floor price (the subject of Resolution 2) was agreed with Mercer as part of the broader refinancing of the 2020 and 2022 facilities. As noted in section 1.1 above, without refinancing the facilities, the Company would be in default under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2020) and further drawdowns under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022) would not be available, casting doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
-
(b) Mercer is one of the Company’s top 5 shareholders, and has continued to support the Company since its initial involvement with MGC in 2020. The ongoing support and funding from Mercer has been for the benefit of all shareholders.
During the period August 2022 to January 2023, MXC’s share price deteriorated to a point where it was trading below the minimum conversion price of the Convertible Notes A (2022) (i.e. below $0.014).
In the Company’s view, it is therefore reasonable that as part of the refinancing negotiations, Mercer have asked for the conversion floor price to be reduced below the prevailing market price, in order to make a return on its investment.
- (c) Shareholders would expect the Company to fund its continued operations to remain solvent. Prior to the refinancing, the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022) already contained customary events of default linked to the solvency of the Company as well as the Company’s ability to meet its obligations under the agreement and pay amounts when due and payable. As such, the addition of an event of default tied to Shareholder approval for the revised floor price, in the context of the Company’s present circumstances and the broader refinancing transaction, is appropriate and equitable to Shareholders.
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 1.2 above.
10
As noted above, the Convertible Notes A (2022) were approved for issue (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1) or ratified (pursuant Listing Rule 7.4) by Shareholders. As such, the 15% cap under Listing Rule 7.1 does not presently apply to the Convertible Notes A (2022). However, ASX has advised the Company that any reduction to the minimum conversion price of the Convertible Notes A (2022) would render the applicable prior Shareholder approval(s) stale. This means that before the variation to the minimum floor price can take effect, the Company either needs to, (1) have sufficient placement capacity, or (2) seek fresh Shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
In light of the above, the Company and Mercer agreed that the proposed variation to the minimum conversion price would be subject to Shareholder approval.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Convertible Notes A (2022) (and any Shares issued on conversion the Convertible Notes A (2022)) 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 2 is not passed (and assuming Shareholder approval for the proposed reduction to the minimum conversion price of the Convertible Notes A (2022) has not otherwise been obtained by 31 March 2023, or such later date agreed by the parties) it would constitute an event of default under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022) and in Mercer’s sole discretion it may:
-
(a) declare all outstanding obligations by the Company under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022) (including without limitation any amount of the face value of the Convertible Notes A (2022) to be immediately due and payable; or
-
(b) terminate the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022), in which case any amounts payable under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022) (including without limitation any amount of the face value of the Convertible Notes A (2022) to Mercer, become immediately payable.
2.4 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 2:

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES B (2022)
3.1 General
As set out in Section 2.1 above, the Company has issued an aggregate of 1,246,432 additional Convertible Notes (2022) since 23 December 2022 (representing drawdowns of US$1,133,120), under its existing Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Convertible Notes B (2022).
3.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 1.2 above.
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 Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not
2 This assumes that the Convertible Notes A (2022) are converted at the lowest possible conversion price (being A$0.01, assuming Resolution 2 is passed), and USD exchange rate of A$0.68. The actual number of Shares to be issued on conversion will be calculated in accordance with the conversion formula for the Convertible Notes A (2022), as detailed in Part 3 of Schedule 2.
12
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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of the Convertible Notes B (2022).
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Convertible Notes B (2022) will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Convertible Notes B (2022).

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:

(g) the Convertible Notes B (2022) were issued pursuant to the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022), a summary of which is included in Part 1 of Schedule 2.
4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE CONVERTIBLE NOTES (2022)
4.1 General
Under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022) (as amended by the CSA Variation Agreement), the Company may request additional drawdowns of up to a further US$5,766,880, in exchange for the issue of a further 6,343,568 Convertible Notes (2022).
Pursuant to this Resolution 4, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 6,343,568 Convertible Notes (2022) in advance of future funding drawdowns (up to US$5,766,880) made by the Company.
The Company notes that this approval does not guarantee that future drawdown requests will be made by the Company.
4.2
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 or agree to 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 12 month period.
The proposed issue of additional Convertible Notes (2022) does not fall within any of the exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to an additional 6,343,568 Convertible Notes (2022). Further, the issue of such additional Convertible Notes (2022) (and any Shares issued on conversion) 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.
14
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will still be able to proceed with the issue of the additional Convertible Notes (2022), but only to the extent that such issue does not exceed the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (calculated based on the maximum number of Shares that may be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes (2022)). This may also impact the Company’s ability to access future tranches of funding under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022).
4.4 Convertible Note Agreement
A summary of the material terms of the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022) as amended by the CSA Variation Agreement, between the Company and Mercer (the Noteholder ) is set out in Part 1 of Schedule 2.
4.5 Material Terms and Conditions of the Convertible Notes (2022)
A summary of the material terms of the Convertible Notes (2022) is set out in Part 2 of Schedule 2.
4.6 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 4. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company notes that additional Convertible Notes (2022) will only be issued upon further drawdowns under the Convertible Securities Agreement (2022), which are at the discretion of the Company and are therefore not guaranteed:
-
(a) the Convertible Notes (2022) will be issued to Mercer, who is not a related party of the Company;
-
(b) the maximum number of Convertible Notes (2022) to be issued is 6,343,568, which will convert into a maximum of 9,322,877,647 Shares[4] ;
-
(c) the Convertible Notes (2022) will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Part 2 of Schedule 2;
-

-
(f) the Convertible Notes (2022) will be issued at an issue price of US$0.90909 per Convertible Note (2022). The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Convertible Notes (2022);
-
(g) the purpose of the issue of the Convertible Notes (2022) is to raise up to an additional US$5,766,880, which the Company intends to apply in accordance with the table set out below;
4 This assumes that the Convertible Notes (2022) are converted at the lowest possible conversion price (being A$0.01), and USD exchange rate of A$0.68. The actual number of Shares to be issued on conversion will be calculated in accordance with the conversion formula for the Convertible Notes (2022), as detailed in Part 2 of Schedule 2.
