The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2024 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out in detail the Company’s policy for determining remuneration for Directors and other members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel. It includes information on the elements of remuneration that are performance based, the performance conditions that apply and the methodology used to assess the achievement of these performance conditions.
The Company’s remuneration strategy is designed to provide a link between the achievement of the Company’s strategic objectives and executive remuneration It is designed to reward, motivate and retain the Company’s executive team through market competitive remuneration and benefits, to support the continued success of the Company’s businesses and ultimately to create shareholder value.
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report must be put to the vote at the Annual General Meeting. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if twenty-five (25%) per cent or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.
It is noted that at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report represented less than twenty-five (25%) per cent of the total votes cast on that resolution and accordingly, a spill resolution, will not under any circumstances, be required for the Meeting.
The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholders approval to “renew” the Company’s ESOP which has expired for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) after three years from the date it was approved by Shareholders previously.
The renewal of the ESOP and any securities to be issued pursuant to the ESOP is sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b), sections 259B(2) and 260C(4) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Further details relating to Listing Rules & Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requirements are set out below.
The Board is committed to incentivising and retaining the Company’s Directors, employees and consultants in a manner which promotes alignment of their interests with shareholder interests. Additionally, the Board considers equity-based compensation an integral component of the Company’s remuneration platform as it allows it to be fiscally prudent by conserving cash resources while still enabling it to offer market-competitive remuneration arrangements.
The objects of the ESOP are to:
-
Provide eligible employees with an additional incentive to work to improve the performance of the Company;
-
Attract and retain eligible employees essential for the continued growth and development of the Company; Promote and foster loyalty and support amongst eligible employees for the benefit of the Company; and
-
Enhance the relationship between the Company and eligible employees for the long-term mutual benefit of all parties; and
-
Provide eligible participants with the opportunity to acquire equity securities in the Company, in accordance with the ESOP.
==> picture [186 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
A summary of the ESOP is set out below. A copy of the proposed ESOP can be provided to shareholders on request to the Company Secretary.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Commencement Date | 21 September 2021, being the day the Board approved the ESOP, and last approved by Shareholders on 23 November 2021. |
| Eligibility | The following classes of persons are eligible to participate in the Employee Share Option Plan: full and part-time employees of the Group; Executive Directors of the Group; and contractors (subject to obtaining regulatory relief), being persons who: o contract with the Group, or a person employed by another person who contracts with the Group, to perform work or render services, or to procure such work or services to be rendered, for the Group; and o has done so for the Group for more than one (1) year; and o has worked a pro-rata equivalent of forty (40%) or more of a comparable full-time position (Eligible Employees). The Board’s determination as to whether a person is or is not an Eligible Employee shall be final and binding. |
| Options | The Board may issue unlisted options which have no rights or entitlements to participate in dividends or vote at Company meetings unless and until those Options are exercised. |
| Maximum cap | Options issued must not exceed five (5%) of the Company’s issued capital, measured on the date the Board determines to grant the Options. |
| Exercise Price | The exercise price of an Option will be determined by the Board and may be expressed as a percentage above the market price of a Share on the date the Option is granted. |
| Vesting Conditions | The issue of an Option does not confer any right or interest, whether legal or equitable, in any Shares until the vesting conditions of such Options, as determined by the Board, are satisfied or waived, or the Options have otherwise become exercisable under the Employee Share Option Plan. If the Company becomes subject to a change of control, a Participant’s unvested Options will be deemed to have vested. |
| Exercise of Options | Provided an Option has not vested or otherwise lapsed, an Option may be exercised by lodging an exercise notice with the Company: |
==> picture [186 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| a written notice of exercise of Options which specifies the number of Shares in respect of which Options are being exercised; and a payment for the exercise price of those Options multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which Options are being exercised. Once exercised, Shares issued to the Eligible Employee will rank pari passu with all existing Shares in the Company. |
|
| Transfer restrictions | An Option may not be sold, transferred, mortgaged, charged or otherwise dealt with or encumbered without the prior written approval of the Board. |
| Lapsing of Options | Options will automatically lapse on the earlier of: the date determined by the Board and set out in the offer; the date on which the Eligible Employee is dismissed from his/her employment for certain reasons, such as willful misconduct, fraud and incompetence; where the Eligible Employee is a contractor and his or her contract for services is terminated, the date on which that contract is terminated for certain reasons, including breach of contract, fraud and incompetence; or the date which is sixty (60) months from the issue date of those Options. |
| Participation in future issues | Options do not entitle the Eligible Employee to participate in new issues of Shares unless and until the Shares in respect of the Options have been issued. |
| Adjustments to exercise price | If the Company makes a pro-rata issue of securities, the exercise price of Options on issue will be reduced in respect of each rights issue according to the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2. No change will be made to the number of Shares to which the Eligible Employee is entitled upon exercise of the Option as a result of an adjustment for a rights issue. |
| Bonus issues | If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares to Shareholders and no Share has been issued in respect of an Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, then the number of underlying Shares over which the Option is exercisable is increased by the number of Shares which the Eligible Employee would have received if they had exercised the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. |
| Capital reorganisations | If there is a reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction, cancellation or return) of the share capital of the Company, then the rights of the Eligible Employee (including the number of Options to which s/he is entitled and the exercise price) are changed to the extent necessaryto complywith the ASX ListingRules applyingto a |
==> picture [186 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
Item Description reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. Amendment Any amendment to the ESOP must be made in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
ASX Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1 provides generally that a company may not issue shares or securities convertible into shares equal to more than fifteen (15%) of the company's issued share capital in any consecutive twelve (12) month period without obtaining prior shareholder approval, unless the issue fits into one of the exceptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13) provides that an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme (such as the ESOP) is exempt from the operation of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of three (3) years from the date Shareholder approval is obtained, or for the scheme established before the company was listed, for a period of three (3) years from the date when its terms were set out within the documents lodged with the ASX when the entity applied for admission.
If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of equity securities issued under the approved ESOP will be exempted from being counted towards the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 issuing capacity for a period of three (3) years from the date of the Annual General Meeting.
For the avoidance of doubt, any issue of securities under the ESOP to Directors, or their associates, will require a separate approval by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
If this Resolution is not passed, any issue of securities under the ESOP will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue over any twelve (12) month period without the approval of Shareholders.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval of the ESOP for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13).
Corporations Act
Approval is also sought for the purposes of sections 259B and 260C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) to allow maximum flexibility and to avoid any technical Corporations Act issues.
Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company must not take security over Shares in itself except as permitted by the Corporations Act. Section 259B(2) provides that the Company may take security over Shares in itself under an employee share scheme that has been approved by Shareholders at a general meeting.
Under section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act, a company may financially assist a person to acquire its Shares if the financial assistance is given under an employee share scheme that is approved by Shareholders at a general meeting.
==> picture [186 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
Information required for Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b)
Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) requires the following information to be provided to shareholders:
Unquoted Options already issued
Since the approval of the Company’s ESOP on 23 November 2021 the Company has issued 7,333,333, with 2,333,333 Options having been cancelled, lapsed or expired since issue. It is however clarified that the 6,000,000 options issued to Mr Richard Treagus, Executive Chair, on 23 November 2021 along with the 10,000,000 Options issued on 10 November 2023 were issued under Listing Rule 10..11 and not under the approved ESOP.
Maximum number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Plan
Approval is sought to issue up to 16,206,165 Equity Securities as an exception to Listing Rule 7.2. Any additional issues under the Plan above that number would require further shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the plan to eligible participants over a period of three (3) years. The issue of any Equity Securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of 16,206,165 Equity Securities) 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.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Equity Securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the twelve (12) month period following the issue of the Equity Securities.
Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
The Chair of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.
Voting Exclusions
For voting exclusions refer to Note 6.
Resolution 4: Approval of 10% Placement Facility
Background
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to ten (10) % of its issued share capital through placements over a twelve (12) month period after the Annual General Meeting (" 10% Placement Facility ").
Listing Rule 7.1, subject to a number of exceptions, limits the amount of equity securities that the Company can issue without the approval of the Shareholders over any twelve (12) month period to fifteen (15) % of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period (“ 15% Placement Capacity” ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of 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.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability, if required, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without any further Shareholder approval, in addition to the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see below).
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional ten (10) % capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the fifteen (15) % limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of seventy five (75) % of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at this Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(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. This means it requires approval of seventy five (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).
(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 on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities being Fully Paid Ordinary Shares.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
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 twelve (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
==> picture [186 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
-
A is the number of shares on issue at the commencement of the “relevant period” (which, for the Company, is the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement):
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
(B) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
(i) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(ii) 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 or rule 7.4;
-
-
(C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
(i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
-
-
(D) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(E) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
(F) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the relevant period.
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% Placement Capacity.
-
D is ten (10) %
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer above).
(e) Nature of consideration for issue and Minimum Issue Price
The Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per security which must be not less than seventy five (75) % of the volume weighted average Price (” VWAP ”) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the fifteen (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 by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within ten (10) 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 Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the Annual
==> picture [186 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
( 10% Placement Period ).
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders, the period for which the Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained, being 27 November 2024, and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained, being 27 November 2024;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting;

-
(b) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than seventy-five (75) % of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the fifteen (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 by the Company and the recipient of the securities; 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.
-
(c) The purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under rule 7.1A.2 may be used by the Company include:
-
(i) consideration for the acquisition(s) of new assets and investments, including the expenses associated with such acquisition(s); and
-
(ii) continued expenditure on the Company’s current business and/or general working capital.
-
(d) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. Shareholders may also be exposed to economic risk and voting dilution, including the following:
-
(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.
==> picture [186 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares as at 16 October 2024 (Current Share Price) and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
-
two (2) examples where variable “A” has increased, by fifty (50) % and one-hundred (100) %. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities 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 Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by fifty (50) % and increased by one- hundred (100) % as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
No Options or Performance Rights are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Quoted Options, it is assumed that those Quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The Current Share Price is $0`.065 (6.5 cents), being the closing price of the Shares on ASX 16 October 2024.
==> picture [186 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
- (e) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.
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 the 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 issue or other issue 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 but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
- (f) Previous issues over the Last twelve (12) Months – Listing Rule 7.3A.6
Information about equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of the Meeting is set out as follows:
-
(i) The Company has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of this Meeting.
-
(ii) The Company had not agreed, before the twelve (12) month period referred to in the preceding paragraph, to issue any Equity Securities under rule 7.1A.2 where such securities remain unissued as at the date of the Meeting.
Special Resolution
The ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution. This means it requires approval of seventy-five (75) % of the votes cast by Shareholders present or represented, and eligible to vote.
Directors Recommendation
The Board believes that this Resolution is in the best interests of the Company and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.
