EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

In accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations, the Board has determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the AGM will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Register of Shareholders as at 7pm (AEDT) on Monday, 15 November 2021 . Accordingly, Share transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining the Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the AGM.
If a Share is held jointly, only one joint Shareholder may vote. If more than one joint Shareholder votes, only the vote of the first person named on the Register of Shareholders counts.
Registration
Shareholders can register to attend the AGM virtually and vote via the online platform at https://agmlive.link/IEC21. Online registration to attend the AGM will commence from 3.30pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 17 November 2021 .
How to Vote
Live Voting Online – during the AGM
If you attend the virtual Meeting by logging into the online platform at: https://agmlive.link/IEC21 , you will be able to vote in realtime during the Meeting when invited by the Chairman. You will be able to vote for, against or abstain on each item through the online platform.
Appointing a Proxy
You can appoint a proxy to attend and vote on your behalf as an alternative to attending the Meeting.
You can appoint a proxy online at www.linkmarketservices.com.au. To log in, you will need your Shareholder number and the postcode for your shareholding. To appoint your proxy via this website you will need to follow the instructions on the website and submit the appointment by 4pm (AEDT) on Monday, 15 November 2021.
A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company and may be an individual or a body corporate. If you are entitled to cast two or more votes, you may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If you appoint two proxies and do not specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise, each of the proxies may exercise half of the votes.
Your proxy may only exercise your vote in the manner you have directed. If no direction is given, the proxy may vote as it sees fit, subject to any voting restrictions applicable to the proxy.
The Corporations Act places certain restrictions on the ability of Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) and their Closely Related Parties to vote on resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Company’s KMP. For those reasons, Shareholders who intend to vote by proxy should carefully consider the identity of their proxy and consider appointing someone other than one of the Company’s KMP as those proxies may not be able to vote undirected proxies.
The Remuneration Report identifies the Company's KMP for the financial year to 30 June 2021 in the Company’s Annual Report which is available on the “Annual Report” section of the IEC website:
If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy and do not direct him how to vote, you are providing authorisation for the Chairman to cast your undirected proxy on all proposed Resolutions.
This express authorisation acknowledges that the Chairman may exercise your proxy in relation to Resolution 1 even though the Chairman may have an interest in the outcome of this Resolution, since it relates to the remuneration of a member of the KMP. Votes cast by the Chairman on Resolution 1 (other than as an authorised proxy holder) will be disregarded because of his interest (or potential interest) in the outcome of the Resolution.
Chairman’s voting intentions
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all Resolutions set out in this Notice. If there is a change to how the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies, IEC will make an announcement to the market.

NOTICE OF 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 17 November 2021
RESOLUTION 5 - APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE OF EQUITY SECURITIES FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASX LISTING RULE 7.1A
Overview
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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 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%.
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. IEC is an eligible entity for these purposes. Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for IEC to have the additional 10% capacity (“ 10% Placement Capacity ”) provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval. If Resolution 5 is passed, IEC will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval. If Resolution 4 is not passed, IEC will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities to issue equity securities without Shareholder provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholder Approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is subject to Shareholder approval by way of special resolution at the Annual General Meeting. Approval cannot be sought at any other Shareholder’s meeting and Equity Securities issued under the approval (if obtained) must be issued within 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting.
No Equity Securities can be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A before the special resolution is passed. The issue of securities under this rule cannot be subsequently approved by security holders and then be treated as if the issue had received prior approval.
Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued by the Company under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of the Notice the Company has only one class of Equity Securities on issue being Shares.
Formula for calculating the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities during the 12-month period after the date of approval calculated in accordance with the following formula as contained in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of fully paid ordinary Securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary Securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary Securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary Securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary Securities cancelled in the 12 months.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number
of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with approval of holders of ordinary Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
Additional Disclosure
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Capacity:
- 7 -
NOTICE OF 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 17 November 2021
- Period of validity
If Resolution 5 is passed, the approval period during which equity securities can be issued under rule 7.1A commences on 17 November 2021 and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
i) 16 November 2022
-
ii) the next annual general meeting; or
-
iii) the date of the approval of holders of the Company’s ordinary securities of a transaction under rule 11.1.2 or rule 11.2.
-
Minimum issue price
The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph a, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
▪ Risk of dilution
If the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, there is a risk that the economic and voting power of existing Shareholders will be diluted.
There is also a risk that:
-
the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than the date of approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the Annual General Meeting; and
-
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.
The below table shows the risk of dilution to existing Shareholders if the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity on the basis of:
-
the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares calculated in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 variable “A”;
-
a 50% decrease in the current market price of Shares and a 50% increase in the current number of Shares calculated in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 variable “A”; and

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The table does not show any examples of the dilution that may be caused to a specific Shareholder based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
The table only shows the effect of issues under Listing Rule 7.1A and does not consider the effect of any issues under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 during the 12-month period or any other issues.
-
The Issue Price of the Shares is $0.009, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 28 September 2021.
-
Final issue date
The final date that the Company can issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity is 12 months from the date of the Annual General Meeting, being 16 November 2022.
The approval under Resolution 5 will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
- Purpose of the issue
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
cash consideration to be applied to the acquisition of new assets or investments, expenditure associated with the existing operations; or
-
non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets or investments.
If the Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will release to the market a valuation of the non-cash consideration which demonstrates that the issue price of the securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
-
Allocation policy
-
9 -
NOTICE OF 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 17 November 2021
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity is largely dependent on the prevailing market conditions and the circumstances of the Company at the time of any proposed issue. The time frame over the 12-month period which the Company expects to make placements under the Resolution 6 approval therefore cannot yet be accurately determined.
As at the date of the Notice the Company has not formed an intention to issue securities under a placement pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A to any particular party. The Company may approach existing Shareholders, a class or group of existing Shareholders, or new investors who have not previously been Shareholders to participate in a placement of Equity Securities.
When determining to issue the 10% Placement Capacity securities the Company will have regard to a range of factors including but not limited to:
-
the effect of the issue of Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial circumstances of the Company;
-
whether the raising of funds could be carried out by means of a pro-rata entitlement offer or other similar issue to allow existing Shareholders to participate;
-
advice from the Company’s corporate, financial and professional advisors;
-
whether a placement of Equity Securities to a vendor(s) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets or investments is the best alternative for the Company.
▪ Previous approval
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.6 the following information is provided.
The Company obtained Shareholder approval for the 10% Placement Capacity at its 2020 Annual General Meeting. During the 12 months prior to the date of this Meeting, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
A voting exclusion statement is set out on page 4 of this Notice.
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders VOTE IN FAVOUR of Resolution 5.
RESOLUTION 6 - Ratification of Prior Issue of Placement Shares
The Company issued 10,000,000 Shares to Mr Benjamin Dunn on 22 April 2021.
The Company has utilised a portion of its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue 10,000,000 Shares to raise additional capital (Placement Shares)
The Company is seeking shareholder approval to ratify the issue of Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1. Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issues of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issues did not breach the Listing Rules), those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1
Resolution 6 proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the issue and allotment of 10,000,000 Placement Shares which were issued in April 2021 under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (refer ASX Announcements on 23 April 2021) being approximately 25% of the 15% Placement Capacity.
The effect of approval of Resolution 6 is to allow the Board of the Company to rely on Listing Rule 7.4, and in effect, reset the placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, insofar as it relates to the issue of 10,000,000 Placement Shares, which will allow the Company to issue additional Shares utilising its full placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 after the Resolution is adopted, instead of having to wait until 12 months after the issue.
