EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
THIS EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM SHOULD BE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY. IF SHAREHOLDERS ARE IN DOUBT AS TO HOW THEY SHOULD VOTE, THEY SHOULD SEEK ADVICE FROM THEIR ACCOUNTANT, SOLICITOR OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVISER PRIOR TO VOTING. This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting to which this Explanatory Memorandum is attached and forms part of. Terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Schedule 1 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES ISSUED UNDER ASX LISTING RULE 7.1
1.1 Introduction
On 8 July 2021, the Company announced that it had successfully completed a share placement of up to 33,333,33 Shares (“Placement Shares”) at an issue price of A$0.15 per Share to raise up to A$5 million (before costs), which would be completed in two tranches as follows:
-
(a) First Tranche: the raising of A$3 million from sophisticated and professional investors, via the issuance of 20,000,000 Placement Shares utilizing the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) Second Tranche: the raising of up to A$2 million sophisticated and professional investors, via the issuance of up to 13,333,333 Placement Shares subject to the Company obtaining any necessary Shareholder approval under the Corporations Act and/or the ASX Listing Rules,
(collectively referred to as the “Placement”).
The First Tranche of the Placement completed on 15 July 2021, which resulted in the issue of 20,000,000 Placement Shares for which Shareholder ratification is being sought under Resolution 1.
4
Shareholder approval is being sought for the Second Tranche of the Placement, being the issue of up to 13,333,333 Placement Shares under Resolution 2.
1.2
ASX Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an entity must not, without Shareholder approval (subject to specific exemptions), issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than the amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period (15% Capacity).
Listing Rule 7.4 allows Shareholders to subsequently approve an allotment of securities that were issued without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, resulting in those securities then being retrospectively treated as having been issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of this rule is to “refresh” the 15% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company completed the issue of 20,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares utilising its 15% Capacity to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1. While the approval of Resolution 1 will have no effect on the issue of the Shares, if Shareholders approve Resolution 1, it will give the Company greater flexibility to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
1.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the Company provides the following information to Shareholders:
-
(a) The number of securities issued was 20,000,000 Shares.
-
(b) The Shares were issued at a price of A$0.15 each.
-
(c) The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares and will rank equally in all aspect with the then issued Shares of the Company.
-
(d) The Placement Shares issued under Tranche 1 of the Placement were issued to professional and other sophisticated investors, who are clients of JP Equity Partners. Substantial holder Two Tops Pty Ltd participated in Tranche 1 of the Placement.
Excluding the shareholder named above none of whom were, and are a related party of the Company, member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holder of the Company, adviser to the Company or an Associate of any of these parties.
-
(e) Fertoz will use proceeds from the Placement to:
-
Accelerate development of Fertoz Carbon – staffing / advisory board (A$1.5m)
-
Adding to Australian operation carbon specialists (A$0.3m)
-
North America – expand organic phosphate sales team (A$0.25m)
-
Increase working capital (A$2.64m)
-
Pay the costs of the offer (A$0.31m)
(f) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 1 is included in the Notice of Meeting accompanying this Explanatory Memorandum.

1.4 Directors' recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
2. RESOLUTION 2 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES 2.1 Introduction
On 8 July 2021, the Company announced that it had successfully completed a share placement of up to 33,333,33 Shares (“Placement Shares”) at an issue price of A$0.15 per Share to raise up to A$5 million (before costs), which would be completed in two tranches as follows:
-
(a) First Tranche: the raising of A$3 million from sophisticated and professional investors, via the issuance of 20,000,000 Placement Shares utilizing the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) Second Tranche: the raising of up to A$2 million sophisticated and professional investors, via the issuance of up to 13,333,333 Placement Shares subject to the Company obtaining any necessary Shareholder approval under the Corporations Act and/or the ASX Listing Rules,
(collectively referred to as the “Placement”).
Shareholder approval is being sought for the Second Tranche of the Placement, being the issue of up to 13,333,333 Placement Shares at an issue price of A$0.15 per Placement Share under Resolution 2.
ASX Listing Rules
Broadly speaking, subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares (which is the subject of Resolution 2) does not fall within any of these exceptions; and unless Resolution 1 is approved, would exceed the Company’s current 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval, under and for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issuance of up to 13,333,333 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to sophisticated and professional investors. Additionally, the issuance of those Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 2 is not passed (and Resolution 1 is also not passed), the Company may be unable to proceed with the issuance of up to 13,333,333 Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In this instance, the Company would be unable to issue the placement shares and would receive up to A$2 million in funding.
2.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information to Shareholders:
6
-
(a) The number of securities to be issued is up to 13,333,333 Placement Shares. (b) The Shares will be issued at a price of A$0.15 each.
-
(c) The Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares and will rank equally in all aspect with the then issued Shares of the Company.
-
(d) If Shareholder approval is obtained, the issue of the Tranche 2 placement Shares will occur no later than three months after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules).
-
(e) The Placement Shares to be issued under Tranche 2 of the Placement will be issued to professional and other sophisticated investors, who are clients of JP Equity Partners, none of whom are a related party of the Company, member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holder of the Company, adviser to the Company or an Associate of any of these parties.
-
(f) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares are not being issued under an agreement. (g) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares are not being issued under or to fund a reverse takeover.
-
(h) Fertoz will use proceeds from the Placement to:
-
Accelerate development of Fertoz Carbon – staffing / advisory board (A$1.5m)
-
Adding to Australian operation carbon specialists (A$0.3m)
-
North America – expand organic phosphate sales team (A$0.25m)
-
Increase working capital (A$2.64m)
-
Pay the costs of the offer (A$0.31m)
A voting exclusion statement is contained in Resolution 2.
2.3 Directors' recommendation
The Directors recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
3. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF LEAD MANAGER OPTIONS
3.1 Introduction
Pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company engaged JP Equity Partners, to act as lead manager for the Placement.
Under the Lead Manager Mandate, JP Equity Partners is entitled to capital raising fees of 6% of the funds raised by JP Equity Partners pursuant to the Placement as well as 5,000,000 unlisted options in the Company.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 5,000,000 unlisted options to JP Equity Partners (Lead Manager Options).
3.2 ASX Listing Rules
Broadly speaking, subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Lead Manager Options (which is the subject of Resolution 3) does not fall within any of these exceptions; and unless Resolution 1 is approved, would exceed the Company’s current 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
7
It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval, under and for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of Lead Manager Options.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issuance of Lead Manager Options. Additionally, the issuance of those Lead Manager Options will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed (and Resolution 1 is also not passed), the Company may be unable to proceed with the issuance of Lead Manager Options. In this instance, the Company would be unable to issue the Manager Options and may be required to re-negotiate with JP Equity Partners such other reasonable fees as may be applicable for their engagement with the Company, which may include the payment of additional cash fees, reducing the Company’s cash reserve.
3.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information to Shareholders:
-
(a) The number of securities to be issued is 5,000,000 Lead Manager Options.
-
(b) The Options will be issued for nil consideration as they constitute a fee for services provided by JP Equity Partners
-
(c) Each Lead Manager Option will entitle the holder to subscribe for one Share in the Company, the Options will be exercisable at A$0.20 each and will expire on the date that is 36 months from the date of issue and will otherwise be issued on the terms set out in Annexure A.
-
(d) If Shareholder approval is obtained, the issue of the Lead Manager Options will occur no later than three months after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules).
-
(e) The Lead Manager Options will be issued to JP Equity Partners, or their nominee.
-
(f) The Options are to be issued in accordance with the Lead Manager Mandate entered into between the Lead Manager and the Company on or around 5 July 2021.

Pursuant to the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate the Company agreed to pay the Lead Manager a fee of 6% of the amount raised by JP Equity under the Placement (exclusive of GST) and, issue 5,000,000 Options with an exercise price of A$0.20.
-
The Lead Manager Mandate contains additional provisions, including warranties and indemnities in respect of the Company, which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.
-
