3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

3.1

Background

On 4 November 2024, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement to raise up to $5 million (before costs) at an issue price of $0.38 per Share ( Placement ).

The Placement is comprised of the following tranches:

  • (a) the issue of 12,305,865 Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ), comprising:

  • (i) 3,548,955 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 8,756,910 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) the issue of up to 236,839 Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) to unrelated parties of the Company, subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 2); and

  • (c) the issue of up to 615,191 Shares ( Related Party Placement Shares ) to related parties of the Company, subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 3(a) - (d) (inclusive)).

The Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares on 13 November 2024 without prior Shareholder approval using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The Company confirms that the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A.

Resolution 1(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

3.2

Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a

Page 7

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 2024 annual general meeting.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 3,548,955 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 3,548,955 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 3,548,955 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 8,756,910 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 8,756,910 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 8,756,910 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares (and assuming the Company’s approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).

3.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to new and existing Shareholders and sophisticated and institutional investors, none of whom is a related party of the Company or a Material Investor. The recipients of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company and the Joint Lead Managers seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company and clients of the Joint Lead Managers.

  • (b) A total of 12,305,865 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rules 7.1

4. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares

General

4.2

Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 3.2 above.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

4.3

Page 9

  • (a) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to new and existing Shareholders and sophisticated and institutional investors, none of whom is a related party of the Company or a Material Investor. The recipients of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company and the Joint Lead Managers seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company and clients of the Joint Lead Managers.

  • (b) A maximum of 236,839 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued.

  • (c) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • (e) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.38 each, being the same price at which the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued.

  • (f) The proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are intended to be used in the same manner as the proceeds from the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, as set out in Section 3.3(e) above.

  • (g) There are no other material terms for the subscription of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.4

Additional Information

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

5. Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Related Party Placement Shares

  • 5.1

General

The background to the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares is in Section 3.1 above. The Company has received firm commitments from the Directors and related parties to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated parties, as follows:

Related Party Amount committed to the
Placement ($)
Related Party Placement
Shares
Norman Mel Ashton $49,999.64
131,578
Michael Wilson $63,339.16
166,682
Steven Zaninovich $45,433.94
119,563
Michael Naylor $74,999.84
197,368
Total $233,772.58
615,191

Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for

Page 10

the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares in the proportions set out above.

5.2

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 any of the following persons without the approval of Shareholders:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).

Messrs Ashton, Wilson and Zaninovich are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Mr Naylor ceased as a Director on 28 August 2024, however he will continue to be considered a related party of the Company for the six month period following this date.

Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these Related Party Placement Shares to Messrs Ashton, Wilson, Zaninovich and Naylor (or their respective nominee/s) will not be included in the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Related Party Placement Shares, raising a further $233,772.58 (before costs) under the Placement.

If Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares and will not receive the additional funds committed by the related parties.

5.3

Specific 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 the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Related Party Placement Shares will be issued to Messrs Ashton, Wilson, Zaninovich and Naylor (or their respective nominee/s), in the proportions set out in

Page 11

Section 5.1.

  • (b) Messrs Ashton, Wilson, Zaninovich and Naylor fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1. In the event the Related Party Placement Shares are issued to a nominee of Messrs Ashton, Wilson, Zaninovich or Naylor, that nominee will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.

  • (c) A maximum of 615,191 Related Party Placement Shares will be issued to Messrs Ashton, Wilson, Zaninovich and Naylor (or their respective nominee/s), in the proportions set out in Section 5.1.

  • (d) The Related Party Placement Shares will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

  • (e) The Related Party Placement Shares will be issued no later than one (1) month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (f) The Related Party Placement Shares will be issued at a price of $0.38 each, being the same issue price at which the Tranche 1 and 2 Placement Shares were agreed to be issued.

  • (g) The proceeds from the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares are intended to be used in the same manner as the proceeds from the Tranche 1 and 2 Placement Shares, as set out in Section 3.3(e) above.

  • (h) The proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise Messrs Ashton, Wilson, Zaninovich or Naylor.

  • (i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares.

  • (j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act;

  • (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 proposed issue of the Related Party Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Related Party Placement Shares because the Related Party Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as those 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.

Page 12

5.5 Additional information

Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) are each separate ordinary resolutions.

The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) due to each of the Directors’ personal interests in the outcome of the Resolutions. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3(d).
