that any Shareholder registered at 7.00pm (AEDT) on 27 October 2020 is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting.

4. Direct voting using the Lumi AGM App

In light of current public health restrictions relating to the spread of COVID-19 the Company has made the decision to hold its first virtual Annual General Meeting. All shareholders will have the opportunity to attend and participate in the 2020 Annual General Meeting online via an internet connection (using a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone).

Shareholders are invited and encouraged to participate in the Meeting and vote electronically using the Lumi AGM App. The App will provide Shareholders with the ability to view and participate in the proceedings of the Meeting by webcast, and to cast their votes during the Meeting.

Instructions on how to download and use the App are contained in Annexure B of this Notice.

If Shareholders are unable to attend the Meeting using the App they are encouraged to alternatively, return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Returning the Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting utilising the App should they elect to do so.

5. Shareholder questions

Whilst shareholders will be provided with the opportunity to submit questions online at the Meeting, it would be desirable if the Company was able to receive them in advance.

Shareholders are therefore requested to send any questions they may have for the Company or its directors at the virtual Annual Shareholders’ Meeting to the Company Secretary, Kim Clark by email to [email protected].

Please note that not all questions may be able to be answered during the meeting. In this case answers will be made available on the Company’s website after the meeting.

  • (a) A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  • (b) If the Shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of the votes which each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes held by that Shareholder.

  • (c) If the Shareholder appoints only one proxy, that proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies, only one proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands.

  • (d) Where two proxies are appointed, any fractions of votes resulting from the appointment of two proxies will be disregarded.

  • (e) A Proxy Form accompanies this Notice.

Voting requirements

Recommendation 6.4 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4[th] edition) and ASX guidance provide that a listed entity should ensure that all substantive resolutions at a meeting of security holders are decided by a poll rather than by a show of hands. In accordance with these recommendations, the Chair has determined in accordance with clause 14.11 of the Constitution that all resolutions put to Shareholders at the Meeting will be decided by poll rather than by a show of hands.

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, each Resolution put to Shareholders at the meeting must be passed by way of an ordinary resolution which requires the Resolution be approved by a majority of votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the Resolution, other than Resolution 3 which must be passed by way of a special resolution in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A such that the Resolution must be approved by 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the Resolution.

8. Corporate Representative

Any corporate Shareholder who has appointed a person to act as its corporate representative at the Meeting should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that company’s representative. The authority must be sent to the Company and/or registry at least 24 hours in advance of the Meeting.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Ava Risk Group Limited ( Company ) to be held virtually at 11:00 am (AEDT) on 29 October 2020.

This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to, and the legal and other implications of, the Notice and the reasons for the proposed resolutions. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.

Financial Report

The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) requires that the report of the Directors, the auditor’s report and the financial report be laid before the Annual General Meeting.

Apart from the matters involving remuneration which are required to be voted upon, neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on the financial statements and reports.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to raise questions and make comments on these reports.

In addition to asking questions at the meeting, Shareholders may address written questions to the chairman about the management of the Company or to the Company’s auditor, if the question is relevant to:

  • (a) the content of the auditor’s report; or

  • (b) the conduct of its audit of the annual financial report to be considered at the meeting.

Note: Under section 250PA(1) Corporations Act, a Shareholder must submit the question to the Company no later than the fifth business day before the day on which the Annual General Meeting is held.

Written questions for the auditor must be delivered by 5:00pm on Thursday, 22 October 2020. Please send any written questions to:

The Company Secretary c/- Boardroom Pty Ltd Level 12, 225 George Street SYDNEY, NSW 2000

or via email to: [email protected]

Resolution 1: Remuneration Report

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed Company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the Shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2020. A copy is available on the Company’s website.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company at the second annual general meeting ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting, at which all of the Directors (other than the Executive Directors) of the Company, would need to stand for re-election.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors of the Company is approved by the Shareholders will be the Directors of the Company.

8

==> picture [126 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

As Shareholders voted in favour of the Company’s Remuneration Report at its last Annual General Meeting, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chairman will be cast by the Chairman and counted in favour of Resolution 1, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.

Directors’ recommendation

As the resolution relates to matters including the remuneration of the Directors, the Board, as a matter of corporate governance and in accordance with the spirit of section 250R(4) Corporations Act, makes no recommendation regarding this resolution.

Resolution 2: Re-election of David Cronin

Listing Rule 14.5 requires the Company to hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

In addition, clause 6.7 of the Company’s Constitution provides that, at every annual general meeting, 1/3 of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then, subject to the Listing Rules, the number nearest to 1/3, must retire from office and be eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire in each year are the Directors longest in office since last being elected or re-elected. Between Directors who were elected on the same day, the Director to retire, if they cannot otherwise agree, must be determined by ballot.

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.5 and clause 6.7 of the Constitution, David Cronin retires and, being eligible, wishes to stand for re-election.

David has over 24 years professional experience and 15 years of international experience at the director/chairman board level. David is presently the Managing Director of the investment & consulting group Pierce Group Asia where he is responsible for its technology focussed corporate development and investment activities.

Previous to his role at Pierce Group Asia, David was an investment manager for the London listed Guinness Peat Group PLC and Director of M&A for its technology focussed division. Working for several large financial and nonfinancial institutions, David has been involved in various advisory, executive level and board positions with several early to mid-stage technology companies.

David has extensive knowledge of Ava Risk Group and the security markets that it services. He has more than 10 years of board level experience within Ava Risk Group, having previously served as a Director and Chairman of Ava Risk Group prior to its IPO.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors (with Mr Cronin abstaining) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3: Approval of 10% Placement Facility

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 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 now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact 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 below).

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Description of 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.

9

==> picture [126 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

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 classes of quoted equity securities of the Company at the date of the Notice are ordinary 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:

  • plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than 9, 16 or 17);

  • plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months 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 12 months; or

  • b. the issue of, or agreement or issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of partly paid Shares issued in the 12 months 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 12 months; or

  • b. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

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

  • plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid Shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval; and

  • less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note, that A 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 the approval of Shareholders 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 10 September 2020, the Company has on issue 236,179,464 Shares. At present, the Company has a capacity to issue a further 33,867,335 securities. Subject to the approval of Resolution 3 this amount will increase to 57,485,281.

e) 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:

  • (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (b) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (c) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders 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), or such longer period if allowed by ASX (10% Placement Period).

10

==> picture [126 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 3 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.

Resolution 3 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).

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) 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:

  • 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 3 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 table below. 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 Shareholders provide their approval at the Annual General 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, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.2, the table below 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 this Notice.

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 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 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 current market price.

$22,200,869

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 8,700,000 unlisted Options and 1,966,529 Performance Share Rights and 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 $0.235 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 01 September 2020.

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new business assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) and/or general working capital.

  • The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (e) The Company’s allocation policy will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility.

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:

  • i. 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;

  • ii. the effect the issue of the Equity Securities might have 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).

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.

  • (f) The Company sought and obtained approval from Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1A at the Annual General Meeting held on 31 October 2019. In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6(a) the Company makes the following disclosure:

  • Equity Securities on issue as at 31 October 2019 totalled 234,115,568 securities; and

  • The Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the meeting.

==> picture [126 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 4 – Approval of equity incentive plan

The ASX Listing Rules generally restrict listed companies from issuing more than 15% of their issued share capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval. However, there are exceptions to this restriction, one of which states that general Listing Rule requirements for shareholder approval will not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of the issue, shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to the rule.

If the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan is approved by shareholders, issues under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ) over the next three years will fall under this ASX Listing Rule exception and will not affect the Company’s ability to separately issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities in any 12 month period (without having to obtain further shareholder approval).

However, the exception does not apply to Directors and their associates, who are deemed related parties of the Company, and issues to such persons will require separate approval under Listing Rule 10.14.

The Plan is designed to:

  • (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of eligible employees;

  • (b) link the reward of eligible employees to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (c) align the interests of eligible employees with Shareholders by providing an opportunity for eligible employees to earn rewards via an equity interest in the Company based on creating Shareholder value.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13, a summary of the key terms of the Plan is set out in Annexure A.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13:

  • (a) 15,168,632 securities have been issued under the Plan since the Plan was last approved by Shareholders on 1 November 2017; and

  • (b) it is proposed that up to 13,000,000 securities will be issued under the Plan subject to its approval at this Annual General Meeting.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors are all currently eligible to participate in the Plan and therefore abstain from making a recommendation in relation to this resolution.

Resolution 5 - Issue of Performance Rights to Director

Performance rights confer an entitlement to be issued one Share subject to the satisfaction of any performance criteria on the terms set out in the Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ).

Subject to the approval of Shareholders, the Company proposes to grant a maximum amount of 353,419 Performance Rights to Mr Robert Broomfield, Executive Director.

The price payable for each Share that may be issued upon vesting of a Performance Right is nil.

The objective of the proposed grant of Performance Rights to Directors is primarily to link the reward of Performance Rights to Shareholder value creation, and align their interests with those of Shareholders and to encourage the long-term sustainable growth of the Company.

13

==> picture [126 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

The Performance Rights shall be issued under, and subject to, the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan.

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not issue equity securities to a director of the company under an employee incentive scheme unless the issue has been approved by holders of ordinary securities. Once approval is obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14, the Company is entitled to rely on Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 8 as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. Similarly, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.

The key terms of the Performance Rights are set out in the tables below:

Recipient Mr Robert Broomfield
Number 353,419
Vesting
Date(s)
Subject to the Directors determining that the applicable vesting conditions have been met,
the Performance Rights will vest in two equal tranches on each of 31 August 2022 and 31
August 2023.
Vesting
Conditions
The Performance Rights vest upon achievement of performance criteria aligned to the
financial and strategic objectives of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021
and subject to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan.
The measurable objectives include financial targets (which account for 80% of the vesting
calculation) and comprise of Revenue (with a 20% vesting weighting) and EBITDA (with a
60% vesting weighting) hurdles, with achievement determined against the audited Financial
Statements for the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.
The balance of the weighting (20%) when determining the achievement of vesting hurdles
comprise of measurable strategic and individual targets.
The total number of Performance Rights that vest is determined by application of the above
vesting weighting and the achievement of the performance hurdle. Each performance hurdle
has a gate at 90% achievement with performance below this threshold resulting in forfeiture
of the weighted number of Performance Rights associated with the respective hurdle.
Achievement of the hurdle within 90% to greater than or equal to 100% results in a
proportionate vesting of the Performance Rights associated with the respective hurdle up to
a maximum allocation of 100% of the weighted number of Performance Rights.
Other
Conditions
Other key terms of the Equity Incentive Plan are detailed in Annexure A of this Explanatory
Memorandum.

Other general terms of the Performance Rights

It is intended that the Performance Rights will be issued within 5 days after the Annual General Meeting, but in any event will be issued no later than 3 years after the Annual General Meeting.

All Directors are entitled to participate in the Plan.

The Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Broomfield for nil consideration.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15.2, Mr Broomfield falls under category 10.14.1 of the Listing Rules, as he is a current Director of the Company.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15.6, the Company proposes to issue Performance Rights to Mr Broomfield (as opposed to fully paid ordinary securities) for the following reasons:

  • (a) Performance Rights are designed to incentivise employees, and in this case, to incentivise Mr Broomfield as an Executive Director of the Company. Performance Rights also act to provide a retention incentive for key employees, such as Mr Broomfield, to facilitate long-term growth; and

14

==> picture [126 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

  • (b) equity based incentives assist in the alignment of Shareholders and Directors’ interests.

Mr Broomfield has previously received 225,944 Performance Rights under the Plan, as approved by Shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 1 November 2018 and 344,379 Performance Rights under the Plan, as approved by Shareholders at the Company’s Annual General meeting on 31 October 2019. The Performance Rights were issued for nil consideration.

There are no loan arrangements with Mr Broomfield in relation to the acquisition of the Performance Rights.

The other general terms for the Performance Rights are outlined in Annexure A of this Explanatory Memorandum.

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

Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Equity Incentive Plan after this resolution is approved and who were not named in the notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

General Information

Consistent with the accounting standards, the Company discloses the following information concerning the value of the Performance Rights to be issued. A fair value for the Performance Rights to be issued has been calculated using the Black Scholes methodology and based on a number of assumptions, set out below, with an adjustment to the expected life of the Performance Rights to take account of limitations on transferability. This methodology is commonly used for valuing Performance Rights and is one of the permitted methodologies under ASIC Regulatory Guide 76. The Board believes this valuation model to be appropriate to the circumstances and has not used any other valuation or other models in proposing the terms of the Performance Rights.

The Board draws Shareholders’ attention to the fact the stated valuation does not constitute, and should not be taken as, audited financial information. The reportable value of the employee benefit expense in subsequent financial periods may vary due to a range of timing and other factors. In particular, the figures were calculated effective as at 01 September 2020.

is obtained). The following table details total employee benefit expense based on the highest and lowest closing prices of the Shares traded on the ASX over the 12 months ending on 01 September 2020.

Closing Price ($) 0.27 0.08
Date 18-Aug-2020 23-Mar-2020
Total employee benefits expense
Robert Broomfield $95,423 $28,274

As such, if it is assumed all other factors are equal, where the share price increases above the $0.2350 disclosed above the final value of performance rights granted will increase, and conversely where the share price reduces the final value of performance rights granted will also reduce.

Remuneration

Mr Broomfield currently receives $339,282 per annum for his position as Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer. The amount stated is per annum comprising salary, superannuation contributions and known short term incentive payments. The performance rights are in addition to this sum and have an estimated fair value of $83,053.46.

Financial Benefit – Details and reasons

Approval has been sought for the giving of a financial benefit to Mr Broomfield as a related party, under section 208 of the Corporations Act.

The amount, terms and value (subject to the stated assumptions) of the Performance Rights are set out above.

The reasons for giving this financial benefit are:

  • (a) the Company wishes to maximise the use of its cash resources towards other strategic initiatives and equity based incentives;

  • (b) the total quantum of Performance Rights to be issued is reasonable in number, and will act as an incentive for future growth of the business;

  • (c) Performance Rights are designed to incentivise employees, and in this case, to incentivise Directors of the Company. Performance Rights also act to provide a retention incentive for key employees, such as Mr Broomfield, to facilitate long-term growth;

  • (d) equity based incentives assist in the alignment of Shareholders and Directors’ interests; and

  • (e) the Company believes the associated expense is limited and the nature of the Performance Rights package proposed is commensurate with market practice.

On this basis the Company believes the giving of the financial benefit, as constituted by the issue of the Performance Rights to the applicable Directors is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

Existing interests and the dilutionary effect on other Shareholders’ interests

The effect that the vesting of the Performance Rights will have on the interests of the applicable Directors relative to other Shareholders’ interests is set out in the following table. The table assumes no further issues of shares

Annexure A

Summary of the key terms of the Company’s equity incentive plan

Purpose The purpose of the Plan is to:
(a)
assist in the reward, retention and motivation of eligible employees;
(b)
link the reward of eligible employees to Shareholder value creation; and
(c)
align the interests of eligible employees with Shareholders by providing an
opportunity for eligible employees to earn rewards via an equity interest in the
Company based on creating Shareholder value.
Eligibility Eligible employee means Directors and employees that are declared by the Board in its
sole and absolute discretion to be eligible to receive grants of options and
performance rights under the Plan, or any other person that is declared by the Board
in its sole and absolute discretion to be eligible to receive grants of options and
performance rights under the Plan.
Form of equity Awards of options and performance rights can be made under the plan.
A performance right confers an entitlement to be issued one Share subject to the
satisfaction of any performance criteria on the terms set out in the Plan.
An option confers a right to acquire a Share subject to the satisfaction of any vesting
conditions and the payment of the exercise price for the option on the terms set out in
the Plan.
Terms of award A grant of options and/or performance rights under the Plan is subject to both the
rules of the Plan and the terms of the specific grant.
Vesting and exercise Options may only be exercised if they vest in accordance with the applicable
performance criteria and exercise conditions (if any).
Performance Rights will be governed by the Plan until they lapse or the performance
criteria to which the performance rights relate have been fully satisfied in accordance
with the Plan and consequently Shares have been issued in respect of those
performance rights.
Where an eligible employee ceases to be employed by a group Company, the Board
may, in its absolute discretion, determine that the rights and/or options which are held
by the eligible employee at that time will be forfeited.
Exercise conditions Exercise condition means any criteria, requirements or conditions determined by the
Board, which must be met (notwithstanding the satisfaction of any performance
criteria and/or vesting conditions) in order for any performance rights and/or options
to vest or be exercisable.
Exercise price Exercise price means:
(a)
in relation to a performance right, a nil amount, unless otherwise determined
by the Board and specified in the invitation, or
(b)
in relation to an option, the amount payable on exercise of that option, as
specified in the invitation.
Exercise The exercise of an option may only be effected by lodging a duly completed notice of
exercise. An option may only be exercised if at the time of exercise:
(a)
the applicable performance criteria and/or vesting conditions for the options
have been satisfied;
(b)
the option has not lapsed under any provision of the Plan; and
(c)
the exercise price of the option has been paid to the Company in such manner
approved by the Board.
Any Shares issued, transferred or allocated on the exercise or vesting of performance
rights and/or options will rank equally in all respects with all existing Shares from the

58472114v9

date of issue. The Company will apply to the ASX for the quotation of any Shares
issued under the Plan.
Change of control If a specified event (e.g. a takeover, a scheme of arrangement, winding up or any
similar transaction or event that may result in a person becoming entitled to exercise
control over the Company) occurs prior to a performance right or option vesting, then
the Board may determine in its absolute discretion whether some or all of the
participant’s performance rights or options:
(a)
become vested (whether subject to further vesting conditions and/or
performance criteria or not);
(b)
lapse or are forfeited;
(c)
remain subject to the applicable periods for measurement, vesting dates,
vesting conditions and/or performance criteria; or
(d)
become subject to substituted or varied periods for measurement, vesting
dates, vesting conditions and/or performance criteria.
If there is a change of control prior to a performance right or option becoming vested,
and the Board does not exercise a discretion as to how to deal with the performance
rights and options, all of the participant's unvested performance rights and/or options
will lapse.
Lapse A participant's options and performance rights will lapse, subject to the Board deciding
otherwise, on the earliest of:
(a)
(in the case of options) the applicable expiry date for those options;
(b)
(in the case of performance rights) a determination by the Board that the
participant has not satisfied the applicable performance criteria specified by the
Board in respect of those performance rights;
(c)
a determination of the Board that the participant has, in the Board's opinion:
(i)
been dismissed or removed from office for a reason which entitles a
company in the group to dismiss the participant without notice or has
committed any act of fraud, defalcation or gross misconduct in relation
to the affairs of that company (whether or not charged with an
offence); or
(ii)
done any act which brings the group into disrepute;
(d)
the date on which the participant ceases to be employed by any member of the
group (other than due to death, permanent disability or bona fide redundancy);
(e)
the receipt by the Company of notice from the participant (after death,
permanent disability or bona fide redundancy has arisen with respect to the
participant) that the participant has elected to surrender the option or
performance right; and
(f)
any other circumstances specified in any invitation pursuant to which the
options or performance rights were issued.
Upon the lapse of a performance right or option, all of the participant’s rights in
respect of that performance right or option will cease.
Share issues Participation in new issues
A participant may participate in new issues of securities to holders of Shares only if:
(a)
the option has been exercised or performance right has vested; and
(b)
a Share has been issued in respect of the option or performance right before
the record date for determining entitlements to the new issue.
Adjustment for bonus issue of Shares
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing
Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction, of dividends or by way of
dividend reinvestment):
(a)
the number of Shares which will be issued on the exercise of the option or
vesting of the performance right will be increased by the number of Shares
which the participant would have received if the participant had exercised the

20

option or the performance right had vested before the record date for the
bonus issue; and
(b)
no change will be made to the exercise price.
Adjustment for rights issue
If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders (other than
an issue in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the exercise
price of the option will be reduced according to the following formula:
New exercise price = O –E[P-(S+D)]
N + 1
O = the old exercise price of the option.
E = the number of underlying Shares into which one option is exercisable.
P = the average market price per Share (weighted by reference to volume) of the
underlying Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights
date or ex entitlements date.
S = the subscription price of a Share under the pro rata issue.
D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying Shares (except those
to be issued under the pro rata issue).
N = the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a
right to one new Share.
Reconstructions
If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, then
(a)
the number of performance rights which each participant has been granted;
and/or
(b)
the number of options to which each participant is entitled and/or the exercise
price,
must be reconstructed in a manner which will not result in any benefits being
conferred on participants which are not conferred on Shareholders (subject to the
provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of
Shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital), but in all other respects, the
terms of all options and performance rights will remain unchanged.
Non-transferable
rights and options
A participant must not assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of a
performance right or option unless prior written consent is obtained by the Board
(which consent may impose such terms and conditions on such assignment, transfer,
encumbrance or disposal as the Board sees fit), or in accordance with law in the event
of the death of a participant.
The Board may, at its discretion, impose a restriction on disposing of, or granting any
security interest over, Shares held by a participant on vesting of a performance right
or exercise of an option.
Dividends The performance rights and/or options held by a participant will not give the
participant any right to participate in dividends until the issue, transfer or allocation of
Shares pursuant to the vesting or exercise of the performance rights and/or options
(as the case may be), before the record date for determining entitlements to a
dividend.
Voting rights The performance rights and/or options do not entitle a participant to receive notice of,
attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders. A participant may exercise any voting
rights attaching to Shares acquired following the exercise of the participant’s
performance rights and/or options and registered in the participant’s name.
Administration of
the Plan
The Plan will be managed in accordance with the Plan rules, by the Board.
Every exercise of a discretion by the Board (or its delegates) and any decision by the
Board (or its delegates) regarding the interpretation, effect or application of the Plan
will be final, conclusive and binding.
The Board may delegate any of its powers or discretions conferred on it by the Plan to
a committee of the Board or to any one or more persons selected by it, including but
not limited to the company secretary.

21

Amendment Subject to the Plan Rules, Constitution and the Listing Rules, the Board may at any
time amend the Plan rules or the terms and conditions upon which any option or
performance rights have been issued under the Plan.
No amendment to these Rules or to options or performance rights granted under the
Plan may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any participant in
respect of options or performance rights granted to them prior to the date of the
amendment, other than:
(a)
an amendment introduced primarily:
(i)
for the purposes of complying with or conforming to present or future
legislation governing or regulating the Plan or like plans;
(ii)
to correct any manifest error or mistake;
(iii)
to allow the implementation of a trust arrangement in relation to the
holding of Shares for the purpose of the Plan;
(iv)
for the purpose of complying with the applicable laws; and/or
(v)
to take into consideration possible adverse taxation implications in
respect of the Plan including changes to applicable taxation legislation or
the interpretation of that legislation by a court of competent jurisdiction
or any rulings from taxation authorities administering such legislation; or
(b)
an amendment agreed to in writing by the participant(s).
Termination The Board may at any time terminate the Plan or suspend the operation of the Plan
for such period or periods as it thinks fit, considering and endeavouring to ensure that
there is fair and equitable treatment of all participants in passing a resolution to
terminate or suspend the operation of the Plan.

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM

STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.

If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM

The form must be signed as follows:

Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.

Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

STEP 4 LODGEMENT

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities 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. (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 11:00am AEDT on Tuesday, 27 October 2020. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.

Proxy forms may be lodged using the enclosed Reply Paid Envelope or:
