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 – 5
1.1 Placement
On 4 February 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from professional and sophisticated investors to raise approximately $1,250,000 at an issue price of $0.0015 per Share ( Placement Shares ) ( Placement ). The Placement was oversubscribed with the Company receiving strong support from existing major shareholders and new sophisticated investors to raise a total of $1,290,000.
On 14 February 2025, the Company completed the issue of 750,000,002 Placement Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement ) to unrelated professional and sophisticated investors ( Tranche 1 Placement Participants ) utilising its placement capacities under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 (167,531,935) and 7.1A (582,468,067) (being the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2).
Subject to Shareholder approval for Resolutions 3 and 4, a further 110,000,000 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Sam Jarvis and Mr Stuart Middleton ( Related Party Participants ) in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 ( Tranche 2 Placement ).
1.2 Joint Lead Managers
Mr Simon William Tritton, MX Nominees Pty Ltd (ACN 606 850 079) and Cove Street Pty Ltd (ACN 602 133 380) ( Joint Lead Managers ) acted as Joint Lead Managers to the Placement. In consideration for the provision of the Joint Lead Manager services, the Company agreed to issue each Joint Lead Manager (and/or their nominee/s) up to 15,000,000 Options on the terms and conditions as set out in Schedule 1.
The Company confirms that there is no formal written agreement relating to this arrangement.
1.3 Use of funds
Proceeds raised under the Placement will primarily be applied towards the Company’s roll-out of Modular Data Centres connected to off-grid power generation infrastructure at the Company’s 100%-owned Pathfinder Field in Colorado, as well as for working capital.
2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 General
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 750,000,002 Shares issued under Tranche 1 of the Placement.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an Eligible Entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 22 November 2024.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
5
/1492_3
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
2.5

| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |

3.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, the Related Party Participants wish to participate in the Placement on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Placement Participants ( Participation ).
Resolutions 3 and 4 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of 110,000,000 Placement Shares to Mr Sam Jarvis and Mr Stuart Middleton (and/or their nominee(s)) on the terms set out in the table below. Further information in relation to the Placement is set out in Section 1.1 above.
| RECIPIENT | RESOLUTION | PARTICIPATION | PARTICIPATION | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QUANTUM | FUNDS RAISED | |||
| SHARES | OPTIONS | |||
| Sam Jarvis | 3 | 80,000,000 | Nil | $120,000 |
| Stuart Middleton | 4 | 30,000,000 | Nil | $45,000 |
| Total | 110,000,000 | Nil | $165,000 |
3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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 constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Jarvis and Mr Middleton are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors (other than Mr Jarvis 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 the issue because the 80,000,000 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Jarvis (and/or his nominee(s)) on the same terms as the Placement Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Mr Middleton who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the 30,000,000 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Middleton (and/or his nominee(s)) on the same terms as the Placement Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
3.3 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
7
/1492_3
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 110,000,000 Placement Shares to Mr Sam Jarvis and Mr Stuart Middleton (and/or their nominee(s)) 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.
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares under the Participation 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 either issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), neither issue will use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares under the Participation and the additional $165,000 (before costs) will not be raised under the Placement.
3.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
| REQUIRED INFORMATION |

|---|---|

| Number of Securities and class to be issued |

The Company expects to issue the Placement Shares to the Related Party Participants within 5 Business Days of the Meeting.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 45,000,000 Options. In addition, the issue 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.

5. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE REMUNERATION SHARES TO MR JAMES DACK
5.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval under Resolution 6 for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14, to issue 50,000,000 Shares ( Remuneration Shares ) to the Company’s recently appointed Non-Executive Director, Mr James Dack (and/or his nominee(s)) pursuant to the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) on the terms and conditions set out below. The Plan was adopted by the Board at the Company’s last annual general meeting held on 22 November 2024.
The purpose of the issue of the Remuneration Shares is to provide cost effective remuneration, which will form part of Mr Dack’s remuneration package for the two years following his appointment.
It is intended that the Remuneration Shares will be issued to James Dack pursuant to the Plan progressively in a manner set out below:
-
(a) 12,500,000 Remuneration Shares on (or as soon as practicable after) 30 September 2025, in lieu of Director fees for James Dack’s first six (6) months of service;
-
(b) 12,500,000 Remuneration Shares on (or as soon as practicable after) 31 March 2026, in lieu of Director fees for James Dack’s second six (6) months of service;
-
(c) 12,500,000 Remuneration Shares on (or as soon as practicable after) 30 September 2026, in lieu of Director fees for James Dack’s third six (6) months of service; and
-
(d) 12,500,000 Remuneration Shares on (or as soon as practicable after) 30 March 2027, in lieu of Director fees for James Dack’s fourth six (6) months of service.
5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 3.2 above.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Dack is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Dack) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue, because the agreement to issue the Remuneration Shares, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Dack, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
5.3 Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
-
10.14.1 a director of the entity;
-
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or
-
10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.
The issue of Remuneration Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
10
/1492_3
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within three years 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 (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Remuneration Shares and instead will be required to pay Mr Dack, an equivalent amount in cash.
5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Purpose | The purpose of the Plan is to: (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants; (b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and (c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Shares, Options, Performance Rights or Performance Shares (Securities). |
| Maximum number of Convertible Securities |
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves monetary consideration if the number of Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3 year period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a different percentage and subject to any limits approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b). |
| Plan administration | The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion (except to the extent that it prevents the Participant relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997(Cth)). The Board may delegate its powers and discretion. |
| Eligibility, invitation and application |
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for any (or any combination of) the Securities provided under the Plan on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. The invitation will include certain financial information, a valuation of the Securities and a statement that the Company is solvent. On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company.

If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation. |
| Grant of Securities | The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number and type of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required. |

|
|---|---|
| Restrictions on dealing with Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, have a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt with unless in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the holder) with the consent of the Board in which case the Convertible Securities may be exercisable on terms determined by the Board. A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. |
| Vesting of Convertible Securities |
Any vesting conditions which must be satisfied before Convertible Securities can be exercised and converted to Shares will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse. |
| Forfeiture of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances: (a) in the case of unvested Convertible Securities only, where the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Company and any Associated Bodies Corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act) (theGroup); (b) where a Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group and the Board exercises its discretion to deem some or all of the Convertible Securities held by a Participant to have been forfeited; (c) where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in accordance with the Plan; (d) on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or (e) on the expiry date of the Convertible Securities, subject to the discretion of the Board. |
| Listing of Convertible Securities |
A Convertible Security granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange.

| Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise |
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next paragraph below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Securities (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice. An invitation to applyfor Convertible Securities mayspecifythat at the |
18
/1492_3
| time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities. Market Valuemeans, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation. Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules. |
|
|---|---|
| Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on exercise |
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant. |
| Restriction periods and restrictions on transfer of Shares on exercise |
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction. Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the following restrictions: (a) if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act; (b) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in Shares by persons who possess material information likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally available; and (c) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy. |
| Rights attaching to Shares on exercise |
All Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities will rank equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company. |
| Change of control | If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of the Company’s issued capital), or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, any vested but unexercised or any unvested Convertible Securities must be exercised within [30] days of the change of control event. Any unexercised Convertible Securities will lapse. The Board may specify in the Invitation how the Convertible Securities will be treated on a change of control event occurring, or the Board determining that such event is likely to occur, which may vary depending upon circumstances in which the Participant becomes a leaver and preserve some or all of the Board’s discretion under this rule. |
| Participation in entitlements and bonus issues |
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues. |
| Adjustment for bonus issue |
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the Participant is entitled,upon exercise of the Convertible Securities,to |
19
/1492_3
| receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised. |
|
|---|---|
| Reorganisation | If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. |
| Buy-Back | Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back Securities in accordance with the terms of the Plan. |
| Employee Share Trust |
The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Convertible Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities. |
| Amendment of Plan | Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect. No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants. |
| Plan duration | The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants. If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant. |
| Income Tax Assessment Act |
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax_ Assessment Act 1997(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act) except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise. |
| Withholding | If a member of the Group, a trustee or the Plan administrator is obliged, or reasonably believes that it may have an obligation to account for any tax, or any superannuation amounts (or equivalent social security contributions, if applicable) in respect of a Eligible Participant (Withholding Amount), then that Group company, trustee or Plan administrator (as applicable) is entitled to withhold or be reimbursed by the Eligible Participant for the Withholding Amount payable or paid. |
