6 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business specified to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 30 November 2020 at 11.30 am (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 2021 will be tabled at the Annual General Meeting.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. An electronic copy of the annual financial report is available on the Company’s website: www.bioxyne.com
While no resolution is required in relation to this item, Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask questions and make comments on the financial statements and reports. The Company’s auditor, RSM Australia, will be present at the Meeting and Shareholders will have an opportunity to ask the auditor questions in relation to the conduct of the audit, the auditor’s report, the Company’s accounting policies and the independence of the auditor.
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 2022 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 2022 Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2022 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 re-election 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
Page 8
Bioxyne Notice of AGM
is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2021.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
Proxy Restrictions
If the Chairman of the Meeting is your proxy (or he becomes your proxy by default), you will be taken to have expressly authorised him to exercise your proxy in relation to resolution 1 (Adoption of the Remuneration Report) even though the Chairman is, and those items are, connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel of the Bioxyne Limited. Shareholders will be informed of the proxy position and the manner in which the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies at the meeting.
Definitions
Key Management Personnel has the same meaning as in the accounting standards and broadly includes those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.
Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel means:
-
(a) a spouse or child of the member;
-
(b) a child of the member’s spouse;
-
(c) a dependent of the member or the member’s spouse;
-
(d) anyone else who is one of the member’s family and may be expected to influence the member, or be influenced by the member, in the member’s dealing with the entity;
-
(e) a company the member controls; or

(f) a person prescribed by the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth
Remuneration Report means the remuneration report set out in the Director’s report section of the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Directors’ Recommendation
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
Page 9
Bioxyne Notice of AGM

Pursuant to clause 8.1(e)(2) of the Company’s Constitution, Mr Patrick Ford retires at the 2021 Annual General Meeting but, being eligible, offers himself for reelection.

Directors’ Recommendation
The Board (other than Mr Patrick Ford) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
SPECIAL RESOLUTION
4. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
4.1 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 calculated in accordance with LR 7.1A.2 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 3 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.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the Additional Issuance Capacity and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting the Company has the capacity to issue 96,021,809 shares under listing rule 7.1 and 64,014,539 shares under listing rule 7.1A as outlined in the Appendix 3B lodged with the ASX on 20 October 2018.
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 3 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 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 4.2 (c) below). The Company may use
Page 10
Bioxyne Notice of AGM
funds raised from any 10% Placement Facility for funding specific projects and/or general working capital.
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A
(a) Shareholder approval
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 (ASX:BXN).
(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
A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement (‘relevant period’):
• plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17; • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
o the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
o the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 and 7.4;
• plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
o the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
o the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;
• plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
• plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;
Page 11
Bioxyne Notice of AGM
• less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.
Note: that A is has the same meaning in 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 rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its +ordinary securities under rule 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 4.2(c) above).
(e) Minimum Issue Price
Any Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity’s equity securities and the issue price for each such security must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in that class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the 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;
-
(ii) The time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or
(iii) 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 )
4.3 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
Page 12
Bioxyne Notice of AGM
Any Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity’s equity securities and the issue price for each such security must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in that class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded 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 10 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 3 is approved by the Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ economic and 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.
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.

| Funds Raised | $1,408,320 | $2,816,640 | $5,633,280 |
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) the Company currently has 640,145,398 shares on issue.
-
(ii) the Company issues the maximum securities available under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A being 10% of the Company’s shares on issue at the date of the Meeting;
-
(iii) no unlisted options are exercised into fully paid ordinary securities or performance rights awarded before the date of the issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has 16,000,000 performance rights on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting;
-
(iv) 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;
-
(v) 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”;
-
(vi) The price of ordinary securities is deemed for the purposes of the table above to be $0.022, being the closing price of the Company’s listed securities on ASX on 10 October 2021 ( Deemed Price ). The Deemed Price is indicative only and does not consider the 25% discount to market that the securities may be placed at;
-
(vii) The table does not demonstrate the effect of unlisted options being issued, or performance rights vesting, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. It only considers the issue of the fully paid ordinary securities.
-
(viii) 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 3 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:
Page 14
