VOTING BY PROXY

To appoint a proxy, Shareholders should complete Section B of the enclosed Voting and Proxy Form .

Shareholders may appoint a proxy or proxies to vote and act on their behalf at the AGM. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and can be an individual or a body corporate.

You may appoint one or two proxies (but no more). If two proxies are appointed, you may specify the proportion or number of the votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. In accordance with Rule 17.1(b) of Atomo’s Constitution, if a Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of those votes.

Shareholders who have appointed a proxy may still participate in the meeting. The proxy is not revoked by the shareholder participating and taking part in the meeting, unless the shareholder actually votes at the meeting on a resolution for which the proxy is proposed to be used.

Where more than one joint holder votes, the vote of the holder whose name appears first in the register of shareholders shall be accepted to the exclusion of the others, regardless of whether the vote is by proxy, by representative or by attorney.

A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company and may be an individual or a body corporate. If a shareholder appoints a body corporate as a proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it:

  • provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative to the Company at least 48 hours prior to commencement of the meeting.

If such evidence is not received at least 48 hours prior to the commencement of the meeting, then the body corporate proxy (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as the shareholder’s proxy.

Explanatory Statement

These Explanatory Notes form part of the Notice of Meeting and are intended to provide shareholders of the Company with information to assess the merits of the proposed resolutions.

The Directors recommend that shareholders read these Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to these resolutions.

FY23 FINANCIAL REPORTS

This item of business provides a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to comment on and ask questions on the financial statements and reports for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 and on the business, operations and management of Atomo. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions of the Company’s auditor.

All shareholders can view the Company’s 2023 Annual Report (which contains the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report and the Independent Auditor’s Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2023) on the Company’s website at: www.atomodiagnostics.com

Shareholders who have previously elected to receive a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Report will receive the document in the mail.

RESOLUTION 1: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

Pursuant to clause 20.3 of the Company’s Constitution, a Director appointed by the Board at any time, except during a general meeting, automatically retires at the next annual general meeting ( AGM ) and is eligible for re-election. Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 20.6(b), any Director appointed as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next AGM following that Director's appointment. Accordingly, Dr Walker retires from office and is eligible for re-election as a Director of the Company.

Background checks were conducted prior to Dr Walker’s appointment which did not raise any adverse findings.

If shareholders do not approve the re-election of Dr Walker, she will cease to be a Director at the conclusion of the AGM.

Dr Walker is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer of Rhinostics Inc and has more than two decades of experience in life science tools and medical diagnostics with companies ranging from startups to global businesses. In corporate development roles, she has bought or sold more than 45 companies in addition to building extensive partnership relationships. Beyond Rhinostics, Dr Walker’s startup experience includes the position of CFO at Kailos Genetics and director at Diatherix, Cell IDx and Brick Bio, plus consulting with many early-stage companies.

The Board greatly values Dr Walker’s extensive experience across life sciences and medical diagnostics and supports Dr Walker’s re-election.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board, with Dr Walker abstaining, recommend that shareholders vote

IN FAVOUR of the re-election of Dr Walker.

RESOLUTION 2: REMUNERATION REPORT

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Board is presenting the Company’s Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 to shareholders for consideration and adoption by a non-binding vote. The Remuneration Report was published on 24 August 2023 and is available on the Company’s website (www.atomodiagnostics.com).

The Remuneration Report:

  • explains the Board’s policies in relation to the objectives and structure of Atomo’s remuneration system;

  • discusses the relationship between remuneration outcomes and returns to shareholders;

  • provides details of performance conditions, why they were chosen and how performance is measured against them; and

  • sets out the remuneration arrangements for each Director and each other member of the KMP of the Company.

  • Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and comment on the Remuneration Report at the AGM.

The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. Nevertheless, the Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the future remuneration arrangements of the Company.

ATOMO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 37 142 925 684

==> picture [271 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

The Corporations Act (Cth) prohibits certain persons from voting on this item of business. The voting exclusion statement relating to this item of business is set out on page 4 of the Notice of Meeting.

Directors’ Recommendation

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as such interests are described in the Remuneration Report and each Director (or any closely related party of a Director) is excluded from voting on this resolution as set out in the voting exclusion statement on page 5 of the Notice of Meeting, the Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 2.

RESOLUTION 3: RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES

As announced on 13 July 2023, the Company undertook a capital raising by way of a placement of fully paid ordinary shares to institutional investors ( Placement Shares ) and a share purchase plan. 34,377,932 Placement Shares were issued on 19 July 2023 utilising the Company’s existing 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company seeks to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares to restore its capacity to issue up to 15% of its issued capital.

Broadly speaking, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed entity must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue equity securities, or agree to issue equity securities, without the approval of shareholders, if the number of equity securities to be issued in the 12-month period following the issue date ( Relevant Period ) exceeds 15% of the issued capital of the entity preceding the issue.

The issue of the Placement Shares without shareholder approval does not fit within any of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and accordingly utilised part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If shareholders provide such an approval, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without 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 under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval of the issue of Placement Shares for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval during the Relevant Period.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval during the Relevant Period.

The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  1. 34,377,932 Placement Shares were issued on 19 July 2023.

  2. The Placement Shares were issued for a total cash consideration of $1.25m being $0.036 per share.

  3. The Placement Shares were allotted by the Company to institutional and sophisticated investors selected by Bell Potter as lead manager of the capital raising.

  4. The Placement Shares, when issued, ranked equally with all other shares on issue at the time and had the same rights and entitlements as currently issued shares.

  5. Funds raised will be used to expand and accelerate sales, marketing, business development and new product registration activities with a focus on the US market.

  6. A voting exclusion statement is set out on page 4 of the Notice of Meeting.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 3.

RESOLUTION 4: RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF OPTIONS

The Company issued unquoted options to employees under its Employee Option Plan ( Employee Options ) outside the three-year period following the lodgement of the Company’s IPO Prospectus which disclosed the terms of the Employee Option Plan and the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(a). As the Employee Options were not issued with shareholder approval and did not rely on any of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 as specified in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, they utilised part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity limit.

ATOMO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 37 142 925 684

2023 Annual General Meeting

==> picture [271 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

As explained in the above notes to Resolution 3, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. The Company seeks to ratify the issue of the Employee Options to restore its capacity to issue up to 15% of its issued capital without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Employee Options will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval during the Relevant Period.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Employee Options will be included in the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval during the Relevant Period.

The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  1. The below table sets out requisite information on the issue of Employee Options including the issue dates and total number of securities issued to the employees:

Prior to its 31 March 2020 IPO Prospectus, the Company established the Plan to align the interests of eligible employees and directors with shareholders through the sharing of a personal interest in the future growth and development of the Company and to provide a means of attracting and retaining skilled and experienced eligible persons.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 contains a number of exceptions to the prohibition contained in Listing Rule 7.1 with respect to issuing more than 15% of an entity’s issued capital in any 12-month period without shareholder approval. In particular, under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b), any equity securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within three years of the date on which shareholders approve the issue of those equity securities are not counted for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 5 is designed to satisfy the requirements of Exception 13(b) in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 in relation to the Plan.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will have the ability to issue options (and shares on exercise of options) under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of three years from the date the Resolution is passed (i.e., until 1 November 2026) without impacting on the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, and if the Board decides to issue any options under the Plan (which it is entitled to do notwithstanding the non-approval), any options issued (and shares issued on exercise of options) will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

To the extent that options are issued under the Plan to Directors and their associates, separate approvals under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 will need to be sought by the Company for those issues.

The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b):

  1. A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out in Annexure A below. There have been no material changes to the terms of the Option Plan as disclosed in the Company’s IPO Prospectus.

  2. The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan over the next three years following shareholder approval is 28,544,550.

  3. No equity securities have been issued under the Plan since the date of its adoption.

  4. A voting exclusion statement is set out on page 5 of the Notice of Meeting.

Directors’ Recommendation

John Kelly abstains from making a voting recommendation on Resolution 5 as he is eligible to participate in the Plan. The other Directors recommend that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 5.

RESOLUTION 6: ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO THE MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO JOHN KELLY

Subject to shareholder approval, Atomo proposes to issue and allot 366,666 unquoted options (the Issue ) under its Option Plan to John Kelly as part of Atomo’s remuneration scheme to reward the diligent execution of the corporate strategy and to ensure retention of the key talent needed to deliver strategic outcome in the interest of shareholders.

The Issue represents 55% of the options previously granted to Mr Kelly and subsequently cancelled as the conditions were not capable of being satisfied (refer to Notice of cessation of securities lodged on ASX on 3 August 2023). The Issue is based on Mr Kelly’s 55% achievement of key performance indicators during FY23.

The options issued to Mr Kelly will be exercisable at $0.0468 per option and expire on 22 August 2026 and are conditional upon John Kelly remaining employed by Atomo.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an ASX-listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without shareholder approval:

  • a director of the company (ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • an associate of a director of the company (ASX Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders, unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

As Mr Kelly is a Director of the Company, the Issue falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of Atomo’s shareholders.

ATOMO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 37 142 925 684

2023 Annual General Meeting

==> picture [271 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

If Resolution 6 is passed, Atomo will be able to proceed with the Issue and 666,666 unquoted options will be issued and allotted to Mr Kelly. If Resolution 6 is not passed, Atomo will not be able to proceed with the Issue and the Board may need to consider alternative remuneration arrangements in order to reward, incentivise and retain Mr Kelly.

As explained in the above notes to Resolutions 3, 4 and 5, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, Atomo is prohibited from issuing equity securities comprising more than 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in any rolling12-month period. However, Atomo is permitted to issue equity securities in excess of the 15% limit without shareholder approval if those securities are issued in reliance on an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 as contained in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities made with the approval of the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities under Listing Rule 10.14.

Accordingly, if Resolution 6 is passed if passed, separate shareholder approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Issue of options to Mr Kelly and the issue of shares on exercise of those options will be excluded from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on the basis that they have already been approved by shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15:

  1. John Kelly will be the recipient of the Issue.

  2. John Kelly is Atomo’s Managing Director and therefore the Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1.

  3. 366,666 unquoted options are proposed to be issued and allotted to John Kelly.

  4. John Kelly’s total remuneration package for the 2023 financial year comprises:

  5. Fixed base salary of $447,956 (including $25,292 in superannuation and $5,614 in long service leave);

  6. Variable short term incentive (bonus) of $79,200; and

  7. A variable long term incentive of 366,666 unquoted options (the subject of this resolution).

  8. Further information regarding John Kelly’s remuneration is set out in Atomo’s 2023 Remuneration Report, contained in the 2023 Annual Report which is available on Atomo’s website at: www.atomodiagnostics.com

  9. The Company has previously issued 2,000,000 options to John Kelly under the Option Plan exercisable at $0.25 per option as disclosed in the Company’s Prospectus ( IPO Options ). The IPO Options were issued in three equal tranches vesting in 12 months, 24 months and 36 months respectively and include vesting conditions relating to satisfaction of KPIs. The IPO Options were issued at nil cost to Mr Kelly.

All three tranches of the IPO Options lapsed as the KPIs applicable to the options were not capable of being satisfied with respect to the year ended 30 June 2021, 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023. 666,666 unquoted options were issued under the Option Plan following shareholder approval at the 2022 Annual General Meeting to replace Mr Kelly’s second tranche of lapsed IPO Options. The 366,666 unquoted options proposed to be issued (subject of this resolution) will replace Mr Kelly’s third tranche of lapsed IPO Options.

The Company also issued 333,333 options to John Kelly under the Option Plan exercisable at $0.25 per option as disclosed in the 2021 Notice of Meeting ( 2021 Options ). The 2021 Options were issued following shareholder approval in 2021 and include vesting conditions relating to satisfaction of KPIs. The 2021 Options were issued at nil cost to John Kelly.

Mr Kelly continues to hold 999,999 unquoted options (excluding this Issue) which were issued under the Plan. 6. The unquoted options will be exercisable at $0.0468 per option and expire on 22 August 2026.

The options do not carry voting rights. Options are not quoted on the ASX and carry no voting or dividend rights. Shares issued on exercise of the options will rank equally with ordinary shares on issue. Options are considered by the Board to be an appropriate equity security to issue under the Option Plan as the options assist with ensuring retention of the Managing Director and CEO who is needed to deliver strategic outcomes for the Company, in the interest of shareholders.

In accordance with AASB 2 Share-Based Payments, the total fair value of the options is recognised as an expense over the vesting term of the options with a corresponding increase in equity. Where early exercise occurs, this cost is accelerated. The options are valued at $7,317 (based on a 22 August 2023 grant date). Atomo has not obtained an independent valuation of the options.

Options are valued using the Black Scholes methodology and are disclosed in the Company’s annual reports.

  1. The options will be issued to John Kelly on or about the date of the AGM, but in any event no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting.

  2. The issue price of the options is nil.

  3. A summary of the material terms of the Option Plan are provided in Annexure A.

ATOMO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 37 142 925 684

==> picture [271 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

  1. No loan will be made to John Kelly in relation to the acquisition of the options.

  2. Details of any securities issued under the Option Plan will be published in the annual report of Atomo relating to a period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

  3. Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the Plan after Resolution 6 is approved and who were not named in the notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

  4. A voting exclusion statement is set out on page 5 of the Notice of Meeting.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties of a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company giving a financial benefit to a related party unless one of exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 applies or shareholder approval is obtained.

A “financial benefit” is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and expressly includes a public company issuing securities. The giving of a financial benefit to a related party of a public company is ordinarily prohibited by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. One exception to the general rule is where the benefit constitutes “reasonable remuneration” in respect of the duties and responsibilities of the related party in the management of the public company: section 211 of the Corporations Act.

The Directors have formed the view that shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the Issue as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. The subject options are being issued for the reasons set out above and are considered reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors, with Mr Kelly abstaining, recommend that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 6.

RESOLUTION 7: ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an “Eligible Entity” may seek shareholder approval at its AGM to allow it to issue equity securities of up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the AGM ( 10% Placement Capacity ). Atomo is an “Eligible Entity” for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and as at 13 September 2023 has a market capitalisation of approximately $17.9 million, being below the maximum $300 million threshold required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 7, the number of equity securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).

The effect of Resolution 7 if passed will be to allow the Company to issue equity securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue during the period which is up to 12 months after the date of the AGM, without subsequent shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will be limited to the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and will not be able to utilise the benefit of the additional 10% Placement Capacity.

Resolution 7 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 7 for it to be passed.

Any equity securities issued using the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted equity securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted equity securities on issue, being the fully paid ordinary shares (ASX Code: AT1).

The exact number of equity securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

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

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

  • plus the number of shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

ATOMO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ABN 37 142 925 684

Page 12

2023 Annual General Meeting

==> picture [271 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

less the number of shares cancelled in the previous 12 months;

D is 10%; and

E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that has not been subsequently approved by shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A:

  1. The equity securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in the relevant class were recorded immediately before:

  2. (a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  3. (b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.

  4. The equity securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  5. (a) 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

  6. (b) the time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting; and

  7. (c) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

  8. If shareholders approve Resolution 7 and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below. There is a risk that: (a) the market price for the Company's equity securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the equity securities than on the date shareholders provide their approval at the AGM; and

  9. (b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's equity securities on the issue date, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.2, the table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of an issue price of $0.028 per share which was the closing price of AT1 shares on 13 September 2023 and the number of fully paid ordinary shares for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at 13 September 2023.

The table also shows:

  • (a) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary shares that do not require shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue to all shareholders) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (b) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the issue price as at 13 September 2023.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (a) The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Facility. (b) None of the 14,548,331 unquoted options that the Company currently has on issue are exercised into shares before the date of the issue of the equity securities.

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

  • (d) 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 Annual General Meeting.

  • (e) 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.

  • (f) The issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of shares.

  • (g) The issue price is $0.028 being the closing price of the Company’s shares on ASX on 13 September 2023.

  • Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, the Company may only issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration. The purpose of any issue would be disclosed to shareholders at the time of such an issue. However, in general terms, the Company could issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity to raise cash for general working capital, business development and commercialisation of the Company’s products including new product registration activities.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3 upon issue of any equity securities.

  1. The Company’s allocation policy will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue utilising the 10% Placement Facility.

  2. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:

  3. (a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issue in which existing shareholders can participate;

  4. (b) the effect the issue of the equity securities might have on the control of the Company;

  5. (c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  6. (d)

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

  1. The Company has not previously sought shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

  2. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing or new shareholder to participate in an issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no shareholder will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 7.

the Option Participant.
Amendments The Board may at any time amend the Option Plan or waive or amend the application of any of the
rules under the Option Plan in relation to an Eligible Option Participant at any time and a change
may be given retrospective effect. However, where any amendments will reduce any of the Option
Participants’ rights in respect of their Plan Shares, the Board must obtain the prior written consent of
at least 75% of the Option Participants affected by the change unless the amendment is to correct a
manifest error or for the purpose of complying with applicable laws or to take into consideration
possible adverse tax implications to the Option Plan arising from changes to relevant tax guidance.
