BACKGROUND

On 27 June 2018, the Company announced its intention to conduct a capital raising. The capital raising is comprised of Converting Loans and a further increase in the Placement as follows:

  • (a) a Placement - to raise up to $1,346,250 via the issue of up to 448,666,667 new Shares at an issue price of $0.003 ( Placement ). The Placement was conditional upon the ASX reinstating the Company securities to quotation. On 19 July 2018, the ASX reinstated the Company’s securities to quotation.

  • (b) the issue of Convertible Loans - the Company has entered into a series of Convertible Loans to raise $519,000 (before fees) ( Convertible Loans ). The terms of these Convertible Loans are set out in Section 2.1. The Convertible Loans are convertible at the election of the lender subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval to issue the Shares, with the issue to occur 7 days after the conversion election is made by the lender.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the shares pursuant to the Convertible Loans and Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of that portion of the Shares under the Placement.

Subject to obtaining Shareholder Approval, the Company will lodge a Cleansing Prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act upon the issue of the Shares under the Convertible Loans and Placement.

RESOLUTION 1 – ISSUE OF SHARES PURSUANT TO CONVERTIBLE LOANS

2.1 Background

The Company has entered into convertible loan agreements with a number of lenders introduced by Ikigaii capital Pte Ltd ( Lenders ) to raise an aggregate of $519,000 ( Convertible Loans ).

Subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval under the Convertible Loans, the Lenders may convert the Convertible Loans into Shares at any time prior to the maturity date, being 31 August 2019 ( Maturity Date ).

In the event that the Convertible Loans are not converted or otherwise repaid prior to the Maturity Date, the Company will repay to the Lenders all outstanding monies on the Maturity Date.

Instructions for completing Proxy Form

( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  1. ( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

( Signing instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish.
