EXPLANATO RY STATEMEN T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS
1.1 Consolidation
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to undertake a consolidation of capital on a 20:1 basis ( Consolidation ).
The purpose of the Consolidation is to implement a more appropriate capital structure for the Company going forward. If Resolution 1 is passed, the effect on the capital structure of the Company is set out in Section 2.5.
The Company intends to implement the Consolidation prior to the issue of Securities proposed by Resolutions 2 to 4.
1.2 Options Offer
The Company’s AVWOA class of quoted Options ( AVWOA Options ) expired on 31 December 2024 ( Expiry Date ).
As announced on 30 December 2024, subject to Shareholder approval, the Company is proposing to issue, on a post-Consolidation basis, up to 48,435,500 Options (968,710,000 Options on a pre-Consolidation basis) exercisable at $0.015 and expiring on 30 June 2027 and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 ( Options ) ( Options Offer ) with all holders of the AVWOA Options as at the Expiry Date with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Participants ) having priority to apply under the Options Offer on the basis of 1 Option (on a post-Consolidation basis) for every 20 AVWOA Options held by Eligible Participants on the Expiry Date at an issue price of $0.001 per Option ( Priority Offer ).
To the extent that the Priority Offer is not fully subscribed by Eligible Participants, it is proposed that remaining Options will be placed to unrelated parties of the Company (who are not persons listed in Listing Rule 10.11) ( Unrelated Parties ) at the discretion of the Directors.
The number of Options to be offered includes an aggregate of 3,000,000 Options on a post-Consolidation basis (60,000,000 Options on a pre-Consolidation basis) to be issued to the James Robinson Entities, being entities controlled by James Robinson, a Director, who are Eligible Participants ( Related Parties ).
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the Options being offered under the Options Offer. Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the Options to be issued to the Related Parties. The maximum number of Options to be issued under Resolutions 2 and 3 are 48,435,500 (on a post-Consolidation basis). To the extent Options are issued under Resolution 3 this would reduce the number issued under Resolution 2.
The purpose of the issue of the Options is to enable the holders of the previous AVWOA Options to continue to participate in the ongoing development of the Company.
The Company anticipates lodging a prospectus with ASIC in relation to the Options Offer prior the date of the Meeting.
1.3 Placement Authority
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to be authorised to undertake a placement of up to 2,061,210,000 Shares (or 103,060,500 Shares on a post-Consolidation basis), together with up to 1,030,605,000 Options (or 51,530,250 Options on a postConsolidation basis) ( Placement ).
At a minimum issue price of $0.01 per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis), the Company would be able to raise a minimum of $1,030,605 from the Placement before costs (assuming full subscription).
2. RESOLUTION 1 – CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL
2.1 Legal and regulatory requirements
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.
The Listing Rules also require that the number of options on issue be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
As at the Disclosure Date, the Company has on issue 402,500,000 Options, which will be consolidated and amended as set out in Section 2.5.
2.2 Fractional entitlements
Not all Security Holders will hold that number of Shares or Options (as the case may be) which can be evenly divided by 20. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Security.
2.3 Taxation
It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Security Holders arising from the Consolidation. However, Security Holders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and neither the Company, nor its advisers, accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.
2.4 Holding statements
From the effective date of the Consolidation, all holding statements for Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a post-Consolidation basis.
After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Securities to be issued to holders of those Securities.
It is the responsibility of each Security Holder to check the number of Securities held prior to disposal, exercise or conversion (as the case may be).
2.5 Effect on capital structure
The effect which the Consolidation will have on the Company’s capital structure is set out in the table below (subject to the rounding of individual fractional holdings).

Refer to Schedule 1 for the terms and conditions of these Options:
2.6 Directors Recommendation
The Directors recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
2.7 Indicative timetable
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following timetable (as set out in Appendix 7A (paragraph 7) of the Listing Rules):
| EVENT | DATE |
|---|---|
| Effective date of Consolidation (being the date Shareholder approval is obtained) |
12 February 2025 |
| Last day for pre-Consolidation trading. | 13 February 2025 |
| Post-Consolidation trading starts on a deferred settlement basis. |
14 February 2025 |
| Record Date Last day for Company to register transfers on a pre- Consolidation basis. |
17 February 2025 |
| First day for Company to update its register and to send holding statements to Security Holders reflecting the change in the number of Securities they hold. |
18 February 2025 |
| Last day for Company to update its register and to send holding statements to Security Holders reflecting the change in the number of Securities they hold. Deferred settlement market ends |
24 February 2025 |
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Consolidation will not take effect so there will be no change to the quantity of Securities on issue or the exercise price of the existing Options. In addition, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Options under the Options Offer contemplated by Resolution 2 and 3.
3. RESOLUTION 2 - ISSUE OF OPTIONS – OPTIONS OFFER
3.1 General
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue up to 48,435,500 Options on a post-Consolidation basis (or 968,710,000 on a pre-Consolidation basis) under the Options Offer.
3.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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 12 month period.
The proposed issue of the Options under the Options Offer does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Subject to the passing of Resolution 1, if Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options under the Options Offer. In addition, the issue of these 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 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options under the Options Offer and no eligible holders of AVWOA Options will be issued any Options in replacement for their previous AVWOA Options.
Resolution 2 is conditional on Resolution 1 also being passed. Therefore, if Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Options under the Options Offer contemplated by Resolution 2.
3.4 Directors Recommendation
The Directors recommend Shareholders vote in favour of all Resolution 2.
3.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:
-
(a) the Options will be issued to the Eligible Participants (other than the Related Parties, the subject of Resolution 3) or Unrelated Parties;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be a Material Person issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
-
(c) the maximum number of Options to be issued to participants of the Options Offer is 48,435,500 on a post-Consolidation basis (or 968,710,000 on a preConsolidation basis). To the extent Options are issued under Resolution 3 this would reduce the number issued under Resolution 2.;
-
(d) the terms and conditions of the Options (on a post-Consolidation basis) are set out in Schedule 1;
-
(e) the Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;
-
(f) the issue price of the Options will be $0.001 on a post-Consolidation basis (or $0.00005 per Option on a pre-Consolidation basis). The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of these Options);
-
(g) the purpose of the issue of the Options is to enable the Unrelated Parties to continue to participate in the ongoing development of the Company and raise approximately $48,435 to be applied towards costs of the Options Offer and then general working capital of the Company;
-
(h) the Options are not being issued under an agreement;
-
(i) the Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover; and
-
(j) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – PARTICIPATION OF A RELATED PARTY IN THE OPTIONS OFFER
4.1 General
As set out in Section 1.2, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 3,000,000 Options on a post-Consolidation basis (or 60,000,000 Options on a pre-Consolidation basis) to the Related Parties under the Options Offer on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options to the Related Parties.
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out 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 set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of Options to the Related Parties under the Options Offer constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being an entity controlled by a Director.
In respect of Resolution 3, the Directors (other than Mr Robinson who has a material personal interest in Resolution 3) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 3 because the Options issued to the Related Parties (or their nominees) will be issued on the same terms as the Options issued to the Unrelated Parties under the Options Offer and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
4.3 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:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 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;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Options to the Related Parties under the Options Offer falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 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 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options to the Related Parties under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Subject to the passing of Resolutions 1 and 2, if Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options to the Related Parties (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to the Related Parties and the Related Parties will not be issued any Options in replacement for their previous AVWOA Options.
Resolution 3 is conditional on Resolutions 1 and 2 also being passed. Therefore, if either or both of Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Options to the Related Parties under Resolution 3.
4.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
-
(a) the Options will be issued to the Related Parties who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being entities controlled by a Director;
-
(b) the maximum number of Options to be issued to the Related Parties, being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given, is 3,000,000 Options on a post-Consolidation basis (or 60,000,000 Options on a pre-Consolidation basis);
-
(c) the terms and conditions of the Options are on the same terms as the Options to be issued under the Options Offer and are set out in Schedule 1;
-
(d) the Options to be issued to the Related Parties will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options to the Related Parties will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the New Options to be issued to the Related Parties will be $0.001 per Option on a post-Consolidation basis (or $0.00005 per Option on a pre-Consolidation basis). The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Options to be issued to the Related Parties (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of these Options);
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Options to be issued to the Related Parties is to allow the Related Parties to participate in the Priority Offer on the same terms as Unrelated Parties and raise approximately $3,000 to be applied towards costs of the Options Offer and general working capital of the Company;
-
(g) the issue of the Options to the Related Parties is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Related Parties;
-
(h) the Options are not being issued to the Related Parties under an agreement; and
-
(i) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
5. RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS – PLACEMENT AUTHORITY
5.1 General
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue Shares and Options pursuant to a Placement. Further information about the Placement is set out in Section 1.3.
5.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out at Section 3.2.
The authority being sought under Resolution 4 for the issue of Shares and Options under the Placement does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares and Options under the Placement. In addition, the issue of these Shares and 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 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares and Options under the Placement but would be able to issue a lesser number
of Equity Securities without prior Shareholder approval using its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:
-
(a) the persons to whom the Shares and Options will be issued have not yet been identified but will be unrelated parties of the Company (who are not persons listed in Listing Rule 10.11) and are likely to be professional and sophisticated investors identified through a bookbuild process by seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement at the discretion of the Directors and with the involvement of a lead manager or broker should one be appointed by the Company. As at the Disclosure Date, there is no agreement with a Material Person to be issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company from participation in the Placement;
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares and Options to be issued to participants of the Placement is 2,061,210,000 Shares (or 103,060,500 Shares on a postConsolidation basis), together with up to 1,030,605,000 Options (or 51,530,250 Options on a post-Consolidation basis);

(c) the Shares to be issued will be issued on the same terms and conditions as existing Shares in the capital of the Company. The terms and conditions of the Options (on a post-Consolidation basis) are set out in Schedule 1;
-
(d) the Shares and Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares and Options will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the Shares will be a minimum of $0.01 on a post-Consolidation basis (or $0.0005 per Share on a pre-Consolidation basis). The Options will be issued for nil cash consideration on the basis of up to one Option for every two Shares issued;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Shares and Options is to raise up to $1,030,605 (assuming the issue price is $0.01 per Share).
