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. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

1.1 General

As announced on 25 May 2020 and 1 June 2020, the Company has issued 95,833,335 Shares at an issue price of $0.012 per Share to raise $1,300,000 ( Placement Shares ).

90,000,000 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 5,833,335 Shares were issued pursuant to the existing Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 22 October 2019.

1.2

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

Broadly speaking, 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 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, 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 obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 22 October 2019.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it is currently using up part of the Company’s 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

1.3

Listing Rule 7.4

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 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 ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

10

4802-01/ARD NoM 22 06 20 (SP amendments)(2432632.8)(Clean) -ASX

1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded from calculation of the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively 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 Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Placement Shares 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 the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

1.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who were identified by the Directors. The recipients were identified through a [insert description of process undertaken by the Company]. None of the recipients are related parties of the Company;

  • (b) 95,833,335 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 90,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

  • (ii) 5,833,335 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);

2. RESOLUTION 3 TO 6 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTY – MESSRS PETER WALL, GEORGE KARAGEORGE, PETER MICHAEL AND EMMANUEL CORREIA

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1 above, the Company has recently conducted a private placement and issued the Placement Shares.

Directors Peter Wall, George Karageorge, Peter Michael and Emmanuel Correia ( Related Parties ) wish to participate in the placement, on the same terms as unrelated participants ( Participation ).

Accordingly, Resolutions 3 to 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 12,500,001 Shares to the Related Parties ( Related Party Placement Shares ) (or their respective nominees), as a result of the Participation, on the terms set out below.

2.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) 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 Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Parties are a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Shares to be issued to the Related Parties (or their nominee) are on the same terms and conditions as Shares which have been issued to non-related party participants in the private placement as announced on 25 May 2020 and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors confirm that:

  • (a) Mr Wall has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3 and abstained from the deliberations and voting in relation to the subject matter of Resolution 3;

  • (b) Mr Karageorge has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 and abstained from the deliberations and voting in relation to the subject matter of Resolution 4;

  • (c) Mr Michael has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 5 and abstained from the deliberations and voting in relation to the subject matter of Resolution 5; and

  • (d) Mr Correia has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6 and abstained from the deliberations and voting in relation to the subject matter of Resolution 6.

4802-01/ARD NoM 22 06 20 (SP amendments)(2432632.8)(Clean) -ASX

2.3 Listing Rule 10.11

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 which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 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 Participation 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 Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 3 to 6 seek Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 3 to 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares within one (1) month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.5(f) above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 3 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares and no further funds will be raised in respect of the placement referred to in Section 1.1.

2.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 to 6:

  • (b) the maximum number of Related Party Placement Shares to be issued to: (i) Peter Wall (or their nominee) is 5,000,000 (Resolution 3);

  • (h) the Shares are not being issued under an agreement; and

3. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 10 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO DIRECTORS IN LIEU OF FEES

3.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to that number of Shares, when multiplied by the issue price, will equal $48,450.51 to Directors ( Related Party Shares ) in lieu of 50% of the cash remuneration and other payments that will be owing to Directors at the end of the current financial year for accrued Directors’ fees and salaries.

The Company proposes to issue the Related Party Shares to Messrs Peter Wall, George Karageorge, Peter Michael and Emmanuel Correia (or their respective nominees) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

The Related Party Shares will be allocated to the Related Parties on the following basis assuming a five (5) day VWAP of the Company’s share price as of the date of this Notice:

Emmanuel Correia $5,475.00 230,526
Total $48,450.51 2,040,021

Resolutions 7 to 10 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Shares to the Related Parties.

3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 2.2 above.

The issue of Related Party Shares to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Related Party Shares because the agreement to issue the Related Party Shares to each of the Directors:

  • (a) has been reached by the Directors with each individual director;

  • (b) has been reached as part of the remuneration package for each of the Directors;

  • (c) is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis; and

  • (d) no individual Director was present for the deliberations and voting in relation to the issue of the Related Party Shares to that Director.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors confirm that, while the financial benefit to be provided to each Director does not represent a ‘material’ benefit:

  • (e) Mr Wall has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 7 and abstained from the deliberations and voting in relation to the subject matter of Resolution 7;

  • (f) Mr Karageorge has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 8 and abstained from the deliberations and voting in relation to the subject matter of Resolution 8;

  • (g) Mr Michael has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 9 and abstained from the deliberations and voting in relation to the subject matter of Resolution 9;

  • (h) Mr Correia has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 10 and abstained from the deliberations and voting in relation to the subject matter of Resolution 10; and

15

4802-01/ARD NoM 22 06 20 (SP amendments)(2432632.8)(Clean) -ASX

3.3 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 2.2(d) above.

The issue of the Related Party Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Accordingly, the issue of the Related Party Shares requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 7 to 10 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 7 to 10 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Shares to the Related Parties within one (1) month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of the Related Party Shares allows the Company to preserve its existing cash reserves, which can otherwise be focused on operations, instead of allocating funds to pay the accrued Directors’ fees and salaries for the amounts set out in Section 3.1.

If Resolutions 7 to 10 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Shares. In this instance, the Company would need to use its existing cash reserves to satisfy payment of the accrued Directors’ fees and salaries to 30 June 2020.

3.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 7 to10:

  • (a) the Related Party Shares will be issued to the Related Parties as set out below: (i) Resolution 7: Mr Peter Wall (or his nominee).

  • (ii) Resolution 8: Mr George Karageorge (or his nominee).

  • (iii) Resolution 9: Mr Peter Michael (or his nominee).

  • (iv) Resolution 10: Mr Emmanuel Correia (or his nominee).

each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director;

(b) the maximum number of Related Party Shares to be issued to the Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 2,040,021, comprising:

16

4802-01/ARD NoM 22 06 20 (SP amendments)(2432632.8)(Clean) -ASX

  • (i) Resolution 7 : 230,526, which when multiplied by the deemed issue price of $0.02375, will equal $5,475 to Mr Peter Wall (or his nominee), pursuant to Resolution 7.

  • (ii) Resolution 8: 1,368,442 which when multiplied by the deemed issue price of $0.02375, will equal $32,500.50 to Mr George Karageorge (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 8.

  • (f) the primary purpose of the issue of the Related Party Shares is to preserve the cash reserves of the Company and convert an accrued liability owing to the Related Parties (being, the accrued Directors’ fees and salaries set out in Section 3.1) to equity. This will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if it had to pay out the accrued Directors’ fees and salaries owing to the Related Parties;

  • (g) the total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:
