Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the Managing Director if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings.

The Company's Remuneration Report received a first Strike at the 2019 annual general meeting.

If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Resolution 15 will be voted on at the Meeting. Accordingly, please note that a 'no' vote of 25% or more on Resolution 1 may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chairman will allow reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or comment on the Remuneration Report.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

9. Resolution 6 – Ratification of 7.1 Placement – and Resolution 7 – Ratification of 7.1A Placement

9.1 Background

On 21 September 2020, the Company completed a placement of 23,529,412 fully paid ordinary shares to institutional and sophisticated investors to raise $2 million before costs ( Placement ). Of these, 13,591,956 fully paid ordinary shares were issued under the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 7.1 Placement ) and the remaining 9,937,456 fully paid ordinary shares were issued under the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A ( 7.1A Placement ).

Resolutions 6 and 7 are ordinary resolutions.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 6 and 7.

9.2 Listing Rule 7.4

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 period.

The 7.1 Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date.

Additionally, Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in additional to the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company obtained the requisite shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2019 annual general meeting.

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.

Additionally, Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A) those securities will be deemed to have been

Notice of Annual General Meeting - Aurora Labs FINAL

made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company confirms that the issue of Shares under the 7.1A Placement did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. To this end, Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the 7.1 Placement, and Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the 7.1A Placement, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the 7.1 Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 7 is passed, the 7.1A Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the 7.1 Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 7 is not passed, the 7.1A Placement will be included in calculating the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

9.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, information is provided in relation to the Placement as follows:

  • (a) The Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors.

  • (b) 23,529,412 fully paid ordinary shares were issued, of which 13,591,956 fully paid ordinary shares were issued under the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and the remaining 9,937,456 fully paid ordinary shares were issued under the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (a) The Shares are fully paid ordinary share and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares.

  • (c) The Shares were issued on 21 September 2020.

  • (b) The Shares were issued at a price of $0.085 per Share.

  • (c) The purpose of the issue was to raise $2 million before costs to be applied to the new development pathway for RMP-1 printer, including R&D costs (prototyping, printer upgrades and printing consumables), patent costs, plant and equipment costs, working capital and costs of the offer.

  • (d) The Shares were not issued under an agreement.

  • (e) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 6 and 7.

9.4 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 6 and 7.

10. Resolution 8 – Ratification of issue of Options to Director, Grant Mooney – and Resolution 9 – Ratification of issue of Options to Director, Ashley Zimpel

10.1 Background

On 25 March 2020, the Company issued 2,000,000 Options to each of Mr Grant Mooney and Mr Ashley Zimpel, Directors in connection with their appointments to the Board ( Director Placement ).

Resolutions 8 and 9 are each an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 8 and 9.

If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 8 or 9, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered

Notice of Annual General Meeting - Aurora Labs FINAL

to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

10.2 Listing Rule 7.4

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 period.

The Director Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date.

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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolutions 8 and 9 seek Shareholder approval for the Director Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolutions 8 and/or 9 are passed, the Director Placement relating to those Resolutions passed will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolutions 8 and/or 9 are not passed, the Director Placement relating to those Resolutions not passed will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

10.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, information is provided in relation to the Director Placement as follows:

11. Resolution 10 – Approval of Issue of Options to Norman (Mel) Ashton under the Employee Incentive Plan

11.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Options to Mr Ashton as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. The Options are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

Notice of Annual General Meeting - Aurora Labs FINAL

11.6 Board Recommendation

The Board (excluding Mr Ashton) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.

12. Resolution 11 – Approval of 10% Placement facility

12.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 12.2(c)).

If Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting, in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 11 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 11.

12.2 Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one quoted class of Shares.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D)E

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

(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

Notice of Annual General Meeting - Aurora Labs FINAL

  • (ii) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • (A) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • (B) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • (A) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • (B) the agreement was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4

  • (iv) plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (v) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • (vi) less the number of Shares cancelled in the relevant period.

Note that A is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D

is 10%

  • E

is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 152,896,472 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 22,934,471 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 11, 15,289,647 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to paragraph (c) above).

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class as an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

Notice of Annual General Meeting - Aurora Labs FINAL

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (ii) the date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(the 10% Placement Period ).

12.3 Effect of Resolution

The effect of Resolution 11 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

12.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 11 is approved by Shareholders 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 below table (in the case of Listed Options, only if the Listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:

  • (i) 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 of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) 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 of the Equity Securities,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (c) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of the Notice.

  • (d) The table also shows:

Notice of Annual General Meeting - Aurora Labs FINAL

  • (i) 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 securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

  • (f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration.

  • (g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.3 upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (h) The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the subscribers of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-bycase basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

  • (i) The subscribers under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include sophisticated or professional investors, existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.

14.4 Board Recommendation

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

Notice of Annual General Meeting - Aurora Labs FINAL

15. Resolution 14 – Increase in Directors' fees

15.1 General

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.17 and article 12.5 of the Constitution, the Company must not increase the total amount of non-executive Directors' fees payable by it and any of its child entities without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.

Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval for the increase the aggregate amount of fees available to be paid to non-executive Directors by $100,000 from the current $250,000 per annum to an aggregate amount of $350,000 per annum.

The Board considers that it is reasonable and appropriate at this time to seek an increase in the remuneration pool for non-executive Directors for the following reasons:

  • (a) due to the expected growth of the Company and increased responsibilities for nonexecutive Directors;

  • (b) non-executive Directors fees may in the future need to be increased to retain Directors;

  • (c) to attract new Directors of a calibre required to effectively guide and monitor the business of the Company; and

  • (d) to remunerate Directors appropriately for the expectations placed upon them by both the Company and the regulatory environment in which it operates.

The maximum aggregate fees payable to Directors has not been increased since the Company was admitted to the official list of ASX in 2016.

This proposed level of permitted fees does not mean that the Company must pay the entire amount approved as fees in each year. However, the Board considers that it is reasonable and appropriate to establish this amount as this will provide the Company with the flexibility to attract appropriately qualified non-executive Directors and to act quickly if the circumstances require it.

The remuneration of each Director for the year ended 30 June 2020 is detailed in the Annual Report.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 14.

15.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.17

Information must be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval as follows:

  • (a) Shareholder approval is being sought to increase the fee pool by $100,000, which would increase the annual remuneration pool from $250,000 to $350,000.

  • (b) Subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 14, the maximum aggregate amount of Directors' fees that may be paid to all of the Company's non-executive Directors will be $350,000 per annum.

  • (c) Upon appointment as Directors, Ashley Zimpel and Grant Mooney received 2,000,000 options each (the subject of resolutions 8 & 9).

  • (d) In the last 3 years, the following securities have been issued to non-executive Directors under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 (with Shareholder approval):

15.3 Board Recommendation

As the Directors are excluded from voting on this Resolution, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders on this Resolution.

16. Resolution 15 – Spill resolution

In accordance with section 250V of the Corporations Act, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company must put to vote at the second annual general meeting a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) on whether all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Company's Remuneration Report received a first Strike at the 2019 annual general meeting. If Resolution 1 receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the Meeting, this will constitute a second Strike and Resolution 15 will be voted on.

Notice of Annual General Meeting - Aurora Labs FINAL

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene another general meeting within 90 days of the Meeting ( Spill Meeting ). All of the Company's Directors who were in office when the resolution to make the directors' report considered at the later annual general meeting was received other than the managing director of the Company ( Spilled Directors ) will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting, but may stand for reappointment. Shareholders will vote on the reappointment of Spilled Directors and/or election of new Directors at the Spill Meeting.

In accordance with section 250X of the Corporations Act, if there would be fewer than 3 Directors after the Spill Meeting, such number of directors equal to the difference between three and the number of Directors holding office immediately after the Spill Meeting apart from Spilled Directors will be filled by Directors or Spilled Directors who have the highest percentage of votes favouring appointment.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote “Against” this Resolution 15.

Resolution 15 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies against Resolution 15.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 15.
