Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2016

2.2 Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% 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 general meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

2.3

Previous voting results

At the Company's previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

2.4

Proxy restrictions

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Proxy Form for Resolution 1.

If you appoint a member of the key management personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report (who is not the Chairman) or a closely related party of that member as your proxy, and you do not direct that person on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy cannot exercise your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the proxy form you are giving express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention.

Key management personnel of the Company are the Directors and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s key management personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2017.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – SEAMUS CORNELIUS

None of the subscribers is a related party of the Company.

7. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY

7.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1 permits entities to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period, subject to a number of exceptions.

Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities, which have obtained shareholder approval by special resolution, to issue Equity Securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ("Additional Placement Capacity").

The Company seeks Shareholder approval under this Resolution to be able to issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued is not fixed and will be determined in accordance the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (set out below).

7.2 Requirements of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Eligible entities

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.

(b)

Shareholder approval

Shareholders must approve the Additional Placement Capacity by special resolution at the annual general meeting and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote. A resolution under Listing Rule 7.1A cannot be put at any other shareholder meeting.

(c)

Equity Securities

Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX.

As at the date of this Notice, the Equity Securities that are quoted on ASX are fully paid ordinary Shares.

10

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2016

(d) Formula for calculating number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity

If this Resolution is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(AxD)-E

A The number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or
agreement:

plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an
exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12
months;

plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with the
approval of shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
D 10%
E 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 issue or agreement to issue
that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1
or 7.4.

(e) Interaction between Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company has 110,850,822 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. If the Resolutions the subject of this Notice are passed, the Company will be permitted to issue:

  • 16,627,623 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 11,085,082 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will be permitted to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue or agreement to issue the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out above).

The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1A without using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

7.3 Information for Shareholders as required by Listing Rule 7.3A

  • (a) Minimum price

The issue price of the new Equity Securities will be no lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for securities in the relevant quoted class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price of the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

11

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2016

  • if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If this Resolution is passed and the Company issues securities under the Additional Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is the risk that:

  • the market price for the Company's existing Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue of the new Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price of the Company's existing Equity Securities on the issue date or the new Equity Securities may be issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the new 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 Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • two examples where variable "A" has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example a pro-rata entitlement issue) or future placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved by Shareholders in the future;

  • two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

This table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional Placement Capacity.

  • (ii) 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%.

  • (iii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (iv) 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.

  • (v) The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (vi) The issue price is 13 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 26 October 2017.

The Company's ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to its ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (c) Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from 30 November 2017 (the date of this Meeting) and expires on the earlier of:

13

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2016

  • 30 November 2018, which is 12 months after this Meeting; or

  • the date that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking) (the " Placement Period ").

The Company will only issue and allot new securities during the Placement Period. The approval will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders' approve a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.

(d) Purposes for which the new Equity Securities may be issued

The Company may seek to issue new Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • cash consideration to raise funds for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including the expenses associated such acquisition), continued expenditure on the Company's current assets and for general working capital; or

  • non-cash consideration for acquisition of new assets and investments or for the payment of goods and services provided to the Company. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

(e) Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of new Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity will depend on the market conditions existing at the time of the proposed issue. The allottees will be determined at the relevant time having regard to factors such as:

  • 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;

  • the effect of the issue of new securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (as relevant).

As at the date of this Notice the allottees are not known but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders. No allottee under the Additional Placement Capacity will be a related party or associate of a related party. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for any Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.

If the Additional Placement Capacity is used to acquire new assets or investments then it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of the new assets.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A on the issue of any new securities.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING PROXY FORM

LODGEMENT OF YOUR PROXY FORM

This proxy form must be received by 12 noon on 28 November 2017.

Any proxy form (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) received after that time will not be valid.

How to complete this proxy form

If you are unable to attend the Meeting, you are encouraged to appoint a person or body corporate who will attend as your proxy and exercise your right to vote your shares. Your proxy does not need to be a shareholder. It may be an individual or a company. Note that if you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, the body corporate should appoint a person as its representative at the Meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

Appointment of a second proxy

If you are entitled to cast two or more votes, you may appoint up to two proxies to attend the Meeting and vote. A separate proxy form should be used for each proxy appointment. An additional proxy form will be supplied on request. If you appoint two proxies you must insert the percentage of votes to be allocated to each proxy in each proxy form. If you do not specify this, each proxy may exercise half of your votes. Fractions of votes are disregarded.

Directing your proxy how to vote

If you wish to direct your proxy how to vote (or to abstain from voting) on any item, place a mark (X) in the "For", "Against" or "Abstain" box for each item. If you mark more than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid. If you mark the "Abstain" box for a particular item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on your behalf on a poll and your votes will not be counted in computing the required majority. If you do not direct your proxy how to vote, your proxy may vote as they choose.

Signing instructions

You must sign this proxy form as follows in the spaces provided.

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the proxy form must be signed by the shareholder.

Joint holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the shareholders 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 proxy form when you return it.

Companies : Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, the proxy form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can sign alone. Otherwise the proxy form must be signed by a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

If a representative of a company shareholder or a company proxy is to attend the meeting the appropriate "Appointment of Corporate Representative Form" should be produced prior to admission. This form may be obtained from the Share Register.
