3.1 Placement

On 18 March 2024, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement of new Shares to raise approximately $16.2 million (before costs) at an issue price of $0.18 per Share to be issued by the Company together with three (3) free attaching Options for every four (4) Shares issued under the placement, exercisable at $0.30 per Option and expiring two years from the date of issue and subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2 ( Placement ).

The first tranche of the Placement is comprised of the issue of 89,668,896 Shares using the Company's existing placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, to raise approximately $16,140,401 (before costs), and the agreed issue of up to 67,251,672 Options using the Company's existing placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to professional and sophisticated investors (which ratification is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive)) ( Tranche 1 Placement ).

Subject to Shareholder approval, Mr Andrew Grove committed to subscribe for 555,556 Shares to raise approximately $100,000 (before costs), and up to 416,667 Options under the second tranche of the Placement. As subsequently announced on 15 April 2024, the Company received an additional request from Mr Philip Mitchell to raise an additional $30,000 (before costs).

Accordingly, the second tranche of the Placement comprises the proposed issue of up to 722,222 Shares, to raise approximately $130,000 (before costs), and up to 541,666 Options to Messrs Andrew Grove and Philip Mitchell (and/or their respective nominee(s)) (such issues being conditional on Shareholder approval which is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 4 and 5) ( Tranche 2 Placement ).

The Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement were issued on Monday, 25 March 2024. The Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement were also admitted to trading on AIM on Monday, 25 March 2024. Subject to Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 4 and 5), the Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on or around Thursday, 30 May 2024. The Options under the Placement will not be admitted to trading on AIM, only the ASX (subject to satisfying the ASX quotation requirements).

The investors who have participated in the Tranche 1 Placement comprise institutional, sophisticated and professional investors identified by the joint lead managers for the Placement, Bell Potter Securities Ltd and Petra Capital Pty Ltd ( Joint Lead Managers ). Several participants to the Placement were introduced by Tamesis Partners LLC, for which that entity received a portion of the fees paid to the Joint Lead Managers.

Refer to the Company's ASX announcements on 18 March 2024 and 15 April 2024, respectively, for further details in relation to the Placement.

Resolutions 1 to 5 (inclusive) seek the Shareholders' ratification or approval (as applicable) of the issue or proposed issue of Shares and Options pursuant to the Placement. Each of those Resolutions concerns a different component of the Placement.

3.2 Share Purchase Plan

On 18 March 2024, the Company also announced that it will offer Shareholders who had a registered address in Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom recorded on the Company's Share register as at 7:00pm (AEST) on 15 March 2024 ( Record Date ) ( Eligible Shareholders ) the opportunity to apply, pursuant to a share purchase plan, for:

  • (a) up to $30,000 worth of Shares each at an issue price of $0.18 per Share (the same price as the Shares offered under the Placement) to raise up to approximately $2 million (before costs) via the issue of up to 11,111,108 Shares ( SPP Shares ); and

P a g e | 7

  • (b) three (3) free attaching Options (on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2) for every four (4) SPP Shares issued under the SPP Offer ( SPP Options ) in respect of the issue of up to 8,333,331 SPP Options,

(together, the SPP Offer ).

The SPP Offer is expected to open on or around Tuesday, 23 April 2024 and is expected to close on Thursday, 23 May 2024. The issue of SPP Shares and SPP Options under the SPP Offer is subject to Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolution 6).

Application will be made for the SPP Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM (subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 6). Accordingly, the Company is also providing eligible holders of Depositary Interests in respect of Shares who were recorded on the DI Register with an address in Australia, the United Kingdom or New Zealand as at 6:00am (GMT) on the Record Date ( Eligible DI Holders ) the opportunity to participate in the SPP Offer. Eligible DI Holders will be sent separate instructions as to how they may participate in the SPP Offer, should they wish to. The SPP Options will not be admitted to trading on AIM,).

The Company reserves the rights to scale back applications (in whole or in part) pursuant to the SPP Offer (or withdraw the SPP Offer). Any scale back will be applied to the extent and in the manner the Company sees fit, which may include taking into account a number of factors such as the size of an Eligible Shareholder's shareholding at the Record Date, the extent to which the Eligible Shareholder has sold or purchased Shares since the Record Date, whether the Eligible Shareholder may have multiple registered holdings, the date on which the application was made, and the total value of applications received from Eligible Shareholders.

3.3 Prospectus

The offers of SPP Shares, SPP Options and Options under the Placement will be made under a prospectus in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act, which is expected to be lodged with ASIC on or around Tuesday, 23 April 2024 ( Prospectus ).

The Company proposes to seek quotation of the SPP Options and Options under the Placement subject to satisfying the quotation requirements of ASX, including as detailed in Chapter 2 of the Listing Rules. In the event ASX does not grant quotation, that would not prevent those Options from being issued.

The SPP Options and Options under the Placement will not be admitted to trading on AIM.

The total consideration under the offers under the Prospectus will be not more than €8 million in aggregate and so, in accordance with section 86(1)(e) of Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended, the offers under the Prospectus do not require the issue of a UK prospectus. Accordingly, the Prospectus will not constitute a UK prospectus and has not been approved by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The Prospectus does not constitute an AIM admission document drawn up in accordance with the AIM Rules.

The Placement and the SPP Offer are not proposed to be underwritten.

Refer to the Company's ASX announcements on, and after, 18 March 2024 for further details in relation to the Placement and SPP Offer.

The proposed uses of funds are indicative only and will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from the Company's activities and other factors relevant to the Board's discretion as to usage of funding.

4. Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratification of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

4.1 Background

As detailed in Section 3.1, the Company issued 89,668,896 Shares at an issue price of $0.18 per Share under the Tranche 1 Placement ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ).

Refer to Section 3.1 for further details of the Placement.

P a g e | 9

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification and approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) for the issue of 27,321,028 Tranche 1 Placement Shares (using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1) under the Tranche 1 Placement.

Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

4.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company is entitled to issue or agree to issue Equity Securities up to 15% of its issued share capital through placements during any 12-month period, subject to specific restrictions, without needing prior Shareholder approval ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

In addition to its 15% Placement Capacity, the Company obtained Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2023 annual general meeting in November 2023 to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting in November 2023, without needing prior Shareholder approval ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

If Resolution 1 or 2 is passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, respectively, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 or 2 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, respectively, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

5.4 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

6. Resolutions 4 and 5 – Issue of Shares and Options to certain Directors under the Tranche 2 Placement

6.1 General

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rules 7.1 and 10.11 (and for all other purposes) to issue up to (in aggregate) 722,222 Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) and up to (in aggregate) 541,666 Options ( Tranche 2 Placement Options ) to certain Directors, being Mr Andrew Grove and Mr Philip Mitchell

P a g e | 12

(and/or their respective nominee(s)) under the Tranche 2 Placement, to raise approximately $130,000 (before costs).

The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be offered at the same issue price as the Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement (being $0.18 per Share). The Tranche 2 Placement Options are free attaching on the basis of three (3) Tranche 2 Placement Options for every four (4) Tranche 2 Placement Shares issued under the Tranche 2 Placement.

Refer to Section 3.1 for further details of the Placement.

The Company is proposing to issue:

  • (a) up to 555,556 Tranche 2 Placement Shares and up to 416,667 Tranche 2 Placement Options to Mr Andrew Grove (and/or his nominee(s)) to raise approximately $100,000 (before costs) pursuant to Resolution 4; and

  • (b) up to 166,666 Tranche 2 Placement Shares and up to 124,999 Tranche 2 Placement Options to Mr Philip Mitchell (and/or his nominee(s)) to raise approximately $30,000 (before costs) pursuant to Resolution 5.

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of Equity Securities to a related party. Messrs Grove and Mitchell are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and Tranche 2 Placement Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 or 10.11 (and exceeds the 15% Placement Capacity) and is therefore conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 4 and 5).

Resolutions 4 and 5 are ordinary resolutions.

The Chairperson (who will not be Mr Philip Mitchell for Resolution 5) intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5.

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of its shareholders in the manner detailed 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 detailed in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and Tranche 2 Placement Options constitutes the giving of a financial benefit as Messrs Andrew Grove and Philip Mitchell are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. The Board (excluding Messrs Grove and Mitchell) has considered the application of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and has resolved that Shareholder approval is not required in relation to Resolutions 4 and 5, as the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies. The Tranche 2 Placement Shares and Tranche 2 Placement Options will be issued to Messrs Grove and Mitchell (and/or their respective nominee(s)) on the same terms as non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefits to Messrs Grove and Mitchell (and/or their respective nominee(s)) will be on arm's length terms.

6.3 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:

P a g e | 13

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six 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;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains shareholder approval.

The issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares and Tranche 2 Placement Options to Messrs Andrew Grove and Philip Mitchell (and/or their respective nominee(s)) falls within paragraph (a) above (being Listing Rule 10.11.1), as Messrs Grove and Mitchell are related parties of the Company, 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 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 555,556 Tranche 2 Placement Shares and up to 416,667 Tranche 2 Placement Options to Mr Andrew Grove (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1 and 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 166,666 Tranche 2 Placement Shares and up to 124,999 Tranche 2 Placement Options to Mr Philip Mitchell (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1 and 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolution 4 or 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Tranche 2 Placement Shares and Tranche 2 Placement Options to the relevant Director (and/or his nominee(s)) without using any of the 15% Placement Capacity. In addition, the issue of the relevant Tranche 2 Placement Shares and Tranche 2 Placement Options (and Shares issued on exercise of the Tranche 2 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 4 or 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Tranche 2 Placement Shares and Tranche 2 Placement Options to the relevant Director (and/or his nominee(s)), and the Company will not be able to raise funds from issuing Tranche 2 Placement Shares to that Director and may seek to raise them from alternate sources.

6.4 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 4.2.

The reason why Listing Rule 7.1 approval is being sought in addition to Listing Rule 10.11 approval is that (notwithstanding the application of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14 to issues approved under Listing Rule 10.11), approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is required in order for any Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Tranche 2 Placement Options within the 12months after their issue to immediately count towards the baseline (Variable "A") from which the 15% Placement Capacity is calculated. Consequently, by also seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, if Resolution 4 or 5 is passed those Shares would expand the available 15% Placement Capacity.

P a g e | 14

  • (e) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will have an issue price of $0.18 per Share, raising a total of $130,000 (before costs).

  • (i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 4 and 5.

6.6 Board Recommendation

The Board (excluding Mr Andrew Grove) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

The Board (excluding Mr Philip Mitchell) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

7. Resolution 6 – Issue of Shares and Options under the Share Purchase Plan

7.1 Background

On 18 March 2024, the Company announced that it intended to offer Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to apply to participate in the SPP Offer. Refer to Section 3.2 for details in relation to the SPP Offer.

The SPP Offer is not proposed to be underwritten.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes) to issue up to 11,111,108 SPP Shares (at an issue price of $0.18 per SPP Share) and up to 8,333,331 SPP Options under the SPP Offer.

Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

7.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 4.2.

Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of Equity Securities pursuant to certain share purchase plans. However, the Company's proposed SPP Offer does not qualify for that exception because:

  • (a) the issue of free attaching SPP Options does not satisfy the conditions of ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547;

  • (b) the issue price per SPP Share is less than 80% of the relevant five-day volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) of Shares, being the maximum discount permitted under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5, using the VWAP before the day the SPP Offer was announced,[1] and not forecasting what the VWAP will be prior to the issue of the SPP Shares; and

  • (c) because there are no pre-existing Options in the same class as the proposed SPP Options, it is not possible to satisfy the VWAP requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5 in relation to the proposed SPP Options.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the SPP Shares and SPP Options (and Shares issued on exercise of the SPP Options) without using any of the 15% Placement Capacity. In addition, the issue of the SPP Shares and SPP Options (and Shares issued on exercise of the SPP 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 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the SPP Shares and SPP Options.

1 The issue price of SPP Shares is a 23.5% discount to the five-day VWAP of Shares calculated over the last five days on which sales in Shares were recorded before the day on which the SPP was announced.

  • (b) The maximum number of SPP Shares and SPP Options that the Company may issue to Eligible Shareholders under the SPP Offer is up to 11,111,108 SPP Shares and up to 8,333,331 SPP Options pursuant to Resolution 6.

  • (c) The SPP Options have an exercise price of $0.30 each and will expire two years from the date of issue. The terms and conditions of the SPP Options are detailed in Schedule 2.

  • (f) Funds raised from the issue of the SPP Shares are proposed to be used as detailed in Section 3.4. No funds will be raised by the issue of the SPP Options as they are free attaching on the basis of four (4) free attaching SPP Options for every three (3) SPP Shares to be issued. The funds raised from the payment of the exercise price of any SPP Options are intended to be used towards the uses detailed in Section 3.4.
