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 PLACEMENT SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
1.1 Background
On 2 June and 6 June 2023, the Company announced that it was conducting a private placement to raise up to $2,315,940 through the issue of Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.058 per Placement Share ( Placement ). Subscribers to the Placement will also be issued one (1) free attaching Option for every one (1) Placement Share subscribed for ( Placement Options ). The Placement Options will be issued, subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 3 of this Notice, on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1.
The Company has entered into a lead manager mandate with GBA Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 643 039 123) ( GBA Capital ), an authorised representative of Pendragon Capital Pty Ltd (AFSL 237 549), to manage the Placement ( Placement Mandate ).
A summary of the terms of the Placement Mandate is set out below:
-
(a) Services – GBA Capital has been engaged to act as the exclusive lead manager for the Placement. The Company will consult with GBA Capital as to the allocation of securities under the Placement.
-
(b) Term – GBA Capital’s engagement commenced on 30 May 2023 and shall expire on 31 December 2023.
-
(c) Termination - GBA Capital may terminate the engagement if the Company breaches terms of the Placement Mandate and does not remedy the breach within 14 days of written notice of the breach by GBA Capital to the Company. The Company may terminate the Placement Mandate at any time by giving GBA Capital at least 7 days written notice.
-
(d) Fee – The Company agreed to pay GBA Capital a selling fee of 4% (including GST) of the quantum of funds raised from clients introduced to the Company by GBA Capital, and a management fee of 2% (including GST) of the total funds raise under the Placement.
-
(e) Options – The Company has also agreed to issue 15,000,000 Options to GBA Capital (or its nominee) on the same terms as the Placement Options.
Director, Mr James Moses has also agreed to participate in the Placement and shall subscribe for up to 689,655 Placement Shares ($40,000) and 689,655 Placement Options, subject to Shareholder approval being obtained for Resolution 5 of this Notice.
1.2 General
On 13 June 2023, the Company issued 39,240,348 Placement Shares to professional and sophisticated investors who subscribed to the Placement to raise $2,275,940.
6
23,544,200 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 15,696,148 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 9 November 2022 (being, the subject of Resolution 2).
The issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
1.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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 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 9 November 2022.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 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.
1.4
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 Shareholder 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.
1.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating 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
7
without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
1.6 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. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved GBA Capital and other third parties seeking expressions of interest on the Company’s behalf, to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

-
(e)
-
the Placement Shares were issued on 13 June 2023;
-
(f) the issue price was $0.058 per Placement Shares under both the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;
-
(g) the purpose of the Placement was to raise $2,315,940, which will be applied towards:
-

-

The Placement Options will be issued as free-attaching Options on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 below. It is also intended that following their issue, the Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the Placement Options.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of 39,240,348 Placement Options to professional and sophisticated investors who subscribed to the Placement.

As summarised in Section 1.3 above, 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 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 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options. In addition, the issue of the Placement Options 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 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options. However, given the Placement Shares have already been issued as at the date of the Meeting, the Company will issue the Placement Options at a later date when it has sufficient placement capacity to issue the Placement Options.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

-
(e) as the Placement Options are free attaching Options issued for every one (1) Placement Share subscribed for under the Placement, the Company will not receive any consideration for the issue of the Placement Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Placement Options);
-
(f) the purpose of the Placement was to raise $2,315,940. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue in the manner set out in Section 1.6(g);

The proposed issue of the Lead Manager 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.
10
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options. In addition, the issue of the Lead Manager Options 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.

4.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, Mr James Moses wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Placement ( Participation ).
Accordingly, Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 689,655 Placement Shares ($40,000) and 689,655 Placement Options to Mr James Moses (or his nominee), as a result of the Participation on the terms set out below.
11
4.2 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 Placement Shares and Placement Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr James Moses is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr James Moses who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Placement Shares and Placement Options will be issued to Mr James Moses (or his nominee) on the same terms as Placement Shares and Placement Options issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
4.3 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.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
12

5. RESOLUTIONS 6-8 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES
5.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 9,000,000 Options ( Incentive Options ) to Mr James Moses, Mr Glenn Grayson and Mr Brett Smith (or their nominees) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolutions 6 to 8 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Options to the Related Parties.
5.2 Director recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 6 to 8 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Incentive Options should Resolutions 6 to 8 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 6 to 8 of this Notice.
5.3 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 issue of Incentive Options 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.
As the Incentive Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Incentive Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Incentive Options to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
5.4 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
14
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 issue of Incentive Options 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 6 to 8 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Options under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.
5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 6 to 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to the Related Parties within one 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 Incentive Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Incentive Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 6 to 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options and the Company will be forced to find alternative methods to incentivise the Directors.
5.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

-
(g) the Incentive Options are unquoted Options. The Company has agreed to issue the Incentive Options to the Related Parties subject to Shareholder approval for the following reasons:
-
(i) the Incentive Options are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Incentive Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; and
-
(ii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Incentive Options on the terms proposed;
-
(h) the number of Incentive Options to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:
-
(i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;
-
(ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and
-
(iii) incentives to ensure continuity of service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.
The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Incentive Options upon the terms proposed;
16
- (i) 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:

| Mr Glenn Grayson | - | - |
| Mr Brett Smith | - | - |
Post issue of the Incentive Options to Related Parties
| Related Party | Shares1 | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Mr James Moses | 950,000 | 2,000,000 |
| Mr Glenn Grayson | - | 6,000,000 |
| Mr Brett Smith | - | 1,000,000 |
Notes:
-
Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (ASX: AAJ).
-
All Shares are held directly by Mr Moses.
17
- (m) if the Incentive Options issued to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 9,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 196,201,851 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 205,201,851 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 4.49%, comprising 1.01% by Mr James Moses, 2.97% by Mr Glenn Grayson and 0.51% by Mr Brett Smith;
The market price for Shares during the term of the Incentive Options would normally determine whether the Incentive Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Incentive Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Incentive Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
- (n) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.10 | 23 November 2022 |

| Last | $0.042 | 13 July 2023 |
(o) the Board is not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 6 to 8; and
- (p) voting exclusion statements are included in Resolutions 6 to 8 of the Notice.

If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chair) or other member of the Company’s key management personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolutions 6, 7 & 8, by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolutions 6, 7 & 8.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as they see fit on that resolution.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
-
(a) on each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
-
(b) return both forms together.
