This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business specified to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held in the Board Room of RSM Australia Pty Ltd at Level 13, 60 Castlereagh Street, Sydney NSW 2000 on 28 November 2017 at 12 noon (Sydney Time).
The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of which this Explanatory Memorandum forms a part.
1. Annual Report
As required under Section 317 of the Corporations Act, the annual financial report (which includes the financial statements and Directors’ declarations) for the year ended 30 June 2017 will be tabled at the Annual General Meeting.
Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the reports or the Company generally, but there will be no formal resolution submitted to the Meeting.
2. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report (non-binding vote)
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 or the Company.
If at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2018 Annual General Meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's 2018 Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2018 Directors' report was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or reelection as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management 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 2017.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders will be informed of the proxy position and the manner in which the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies at the meeting.

SPECIAL BUSINESS
6.0 Resolution 5 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
6.1 Background
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) up to 10% of their issued capital through placements over a twelve 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX 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 effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period separate to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting the Company has the capacity to issue 73,863,064 shares under listing rule 7.1 and 28,999,433 shares under listing rule 7.1A as outlined in the Appendix 3B lodged with the ASX on 22 September 2017.
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. Resolution 5 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).
The exact number of Equity Securities (if any) to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A.2 (refer to Section 12.2 (c) below). The Company may use funds raised from any 10% Placement Facility for funding specific projects and/or general working capital. It may also use the 10% Placement Facility for non cash consideration purposes such as joint venture or project acquisitions (although the Company presently has no intention to do so).
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 5 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
9.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A
(a) Shareholder approval
Page 9
Bioxyne Notice of AGM
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.
(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 Company, as at the date of the Notice, has one class of Equity Securities being Shares.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
ASX 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 the issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;
-
(iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note: A has the same meaning in ASX 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 ASX 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 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 2(c) above).
Page 10
Bioxyne Notice of AGM
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) 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 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX 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:
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
(ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
(the 10% Placement Period )
9.3 Specific Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
(a) Minimum Price
Any Equity Securities issued will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days 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 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Risk of Voting Dilution
If Resolution 5 is approved by the Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company would be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of unlisted options, only if the unlisted options are exercised). 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 of 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.
Page 11
Bioxyne Notice of AGM
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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
The table also shows:
(i) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary shares 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 or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
(ii) two examples of where the price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

-
(ii) No unlisted options are exercised into fully paid ordinary securities before the date of the issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has 126,585,049 unlisted options on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting;
-
(iii) The table does not demonstrate an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting;
-
(iv) The table only demonstrates the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. It does not consider placements made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the “15% rule”;
-
(v) The price of ordinary securities is deemed for the purposes of the table above to be $0.046, being the closing price of the Company’s listed securities on ASX on 17 October 2017 ( Deemed Price ). The Deemed Price is indicative only and does not consider the 25% discount to market that the securities may be placed at;
Page 12
Bioxyne Notice of AGM
-
(vi) The table does not demonstrate the effect of listed options being issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. It only considers the issue of the fully paid ordinary securities.
-
(vii) The table does not take into account resolutions to be put before this meeting.
(c) Date of Issue
The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 5 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
(d) Purpose of the Issue under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) non-cash consideration including for joint venture, licensing or collaboration agreements or the acquisition of new projects (although the Company presently has no proposal to do so). In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards the development of its direct sales business and general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e) Allocation Policy
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent 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, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities 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 of Meeting but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company were to pursue an acquisition and were it to be successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

How to Vote on Items of Business
All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.
Appointment of Proxy
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
Signing Instructions for Postal Forms
Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.
Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.
Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
Attending the Meeting
Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or online at www.investorcentre.com under the help tab, "Printable Forms".
Comments & Questions: If you have any comments or questions for the company, please write them on a separate sheet of paper and return with this form.
