  • 15 The Corporations Act requires that the Remuneration Report be put to a vote of Shareholders.

  • 16 The resolution of Shareholders is advisory only and not binding on the Company. The Board will take the discussion at the meeting into consideration when determining the Company’s

8

  • (b) explains Board policies in relation to the nature and value of remuneration paid to nonexecutive Directors, executives and senior managers within the Company.

  • 18 The Chairman will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or to make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Directors’ Recommendation

  • 19 As the resolution relates to matters including the remuneration of the Directors, the Board, as a matter of good corporate governance and in accordance with the spirit of section 250R(4) Corporations Act, makes no recommendation regarding this resolution.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Director – Mr Paul Hopper

  • 20 Mr Paul Hopper was appointed as a Director of the Company on 2 February 2020 and retires in accordance with rule 19.3 of the Company’s Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and stands for election.

| Notice of Annual General Meeting

Listing Rules

  • 26 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue a maximum of 15% of its capital in any 12 month period without requiring Shareholder approval. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13, an issue under an employee incentive plan will not count toward a company’s 15% limit provided the plan was approved by shareholders within three years before the date of the securities being issued. Approval is therefore sought in respect of the Omnibus Incentive Plan under that rule.

  • 27 If Resolution 3 is not approved, any issuances of securities by the Company under the Omnibus Incentive Plan will count towards the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (unless such securities are issued with Shareholder approval under a different Listing Rule).

Corporations Act

  • 28 In respect of Resolution 3, Shareholders are also being asked to approve the ability for the Board to be able to exercise certain discretions under the Omnibus Incentive Plan in relation to the treatment of unvested or unexerciseable awards that may have been granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

  • 29 Under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company has the flexibility to offer performance rights, options, shares and share appreciation rights.

Listing Rules

  • 30 For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13:

  • (a) 24,260,834 securities have been issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan since it was last approved by Shareholders in 2021; and

  • (b) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan within the three-year period from the date of the passing of this resolution is 53,159,780 (which currently represents 12.5% of the Company’s Share capital). This number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued by the Company, simply a ceiling for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

  • 31 A copy of the Omnibus Incentive Plan is set out in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum.

Corporations Act

  • 32 Shareholders are also being asked to approve the ability for the Board to be able to exercise certain discretions under the Omnibus Incentive Plan in relation to the treatment of unvested or unexerciseable awards that may have been granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

  • 33 The Corporations Act provides that the Company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the Company or its related bodies corporate if it is approved by Shareholders or an exemption applies (for example, where the benefit together with other benefits does not exceed the base salary of the relevant person as set out in section 200F Corporations Act).

  • 34 The term ‘benefit’ has a wide operation and may include (for example) the accelerated vesting of awards issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Under the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Board has the discretion to determine that some, or all, of those awards that have not vested or are not otherwise exercisable at the time an eligible participant ceases employment with the Company either vest, become exercisable or otherwise waive restrictions on the awards. If an eligible participant who holds, or has held, a managerial or executive office within the meaning of section 200B ceases employment with the Company, that eligible participant may be

| Notice of Annual General Meeting

10

entitled to have any awards issued to them vest, or otherwise become exercisable where the awards were not otherwise (at the discretion of the Board). This constitutes a ‘benefit’ for the purposes of section 200B Corporations Act.

  • 35 Advance Shareholder approval is therefore being sought, for the purposes of sections 200B and 200E Corporations Act, to provide benefits which may otherwise be prohibited under section 200B Corporations Act. If Shareholder approval is obtained, it will give the Board maximum flexibility to deal with the unvested or unexerciseable awards under the plan granted to executives or key personnel who cease employment.

  • 36 Shareholders are not being asked to approve any increase in the remuneration or benefits payable to relevant personnel, nor any variations to the existing discretions of the Board. Approval is sought in relation to both current and future personnel who hold or have held during the three years prior to cessation of employment a managerial or executive office in the Company or a related body corporate.

  • 37 The amount and value of the termination benefits for which the Company is seeking approval is the maximum potential benefit that could be provided under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, in order to provide the Board with the discretion to determine the most appropriate termination package for the outgoing executives or key personnel. There is no obligation for the Board to exercise this discretion. Exercise of the discretion will depend on factors such as the participant’s performance, contribution and tenure. The amount and value of any consequent termination benefits that may be received as a result of early exercise of the awards upon cessation of employment cannot be ascertained in advance. This is because various matters, events and circumstances will or are likely to affect the calculation of the amount and value, including:

  • (a) the circumstances of the participant’s cessation of employment (for example, whether cessation of employment arises due to resignation, retirement or redundancy);

  • (b) the terms contained within the invitation to participate (such as the applicable vesting conditions);

  • (c) number of unvested or unexercisable awards held by the relevant eligible participant prior to cessation of employment;

  • (d) the market price of the Company’s shares on the ASX at the relevant time; and

  • (e) any other factors that the Board determines to be relevant when exercising its discretion under the Plan.

  • 38 It can be reasonably anticipated that aspects of the Omnibus Incentive Plan may be amended from time to time in line with market practice and changing governance standards. Where relevant, these changes will be reported in the Company’s Remuneration Report. However, it is intended that this approval will remain valid for Board discretions exercised under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, provided that at the time the discretion is exercised the Omnibus Incentive Plan rules contain a discretion for the Board to vest all or a pro rata portion of a participant’s unvested awards or to allow them to continue on foot on the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan rules.

Directors’ Recommendation

  • 39 The Directors abstain, in the interests of good corporate governance from making a recommendation in relation to this resolution.

| Notice of Annual General Meeting

Resolution 4: Approval of additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A

  • 40 Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue a maximum of 15% of its capital in any 12-month period without requiring Shareholder approval. In accordance with the Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible entities (companies that are outside the S&P/ASX 300 index and that also have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less) can issue a further 10% of the Company’s share capital over a 12-month period following the Annual General Meeting (provided Shareholder approval is obtained at the Annual General Meeting) on a non-pro rata basis.

  • 41 The Company falls within the eligibility criteria required by Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • 42 The number of shares that may be issued (if Shareholder approval is obtained at the Annual General Meeting) will be determined in accordance with the following formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than 9, 16 or 17);

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • (I) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the 12 months; or

    • (II) the issue of, or agreement or issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (D) plus the number of partly paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • (I) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the 12 months; or

    • (II) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (E) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (F) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid Shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval; and

  • (G) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

| Notice of Annual General Meeting

12

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 the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

  • 43 Additional disclosure obligations are imposed when the special resolution is proposed, when securities are issued and when any further approval is sought. For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A the Company provides the following information:

Minimum price at
which the equity
securities may be
issued
The issue price of each Share must be no less than 75% of the volume
weighted average price for the Shares 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 securities are to be issued is
agreed; or
(b)
if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in
paragraph (a), the date on which the securities are issued.
Risk of economic
and voting dilution
An issue of shares under Listing Rule 7.1A involves the risk of economic and
voting dilution for existing ordinary security holders. The risks include:
(a)
the market price for Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date
than on the date of the approval under Listing rule 7.1A; and
(b)
the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the
market price for the Shares on the issue date.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.2 a table describing the notional possible
dilution, based upon various assumptions as stated, is set out below.
Date by which the
Company may issue
the securities
The period commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which
approval is obtained and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
(a)
the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general
meeting at which approval is obtained;
(b)
the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or
(c)
the date of the approval by holders of the Company’s ordinary securities
of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.
The approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will cease to be valid in the event that
holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under
Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.
Purposes for which
the equity securities
may be issued
It is the Board’s current intention that any funds raised pursuant to an issue of
securities will be applied towards the commercialisation of the Company’s lead
products. This would principally include:
(a)
research and development;
(b)
regulatory and reimbursement approvals;
(c)
maintenance of intellectual property; and
(d)
staff and office costs, audit and compliance expenses, and ASX fees.
Details of the
Company’s
allocation policy for
issues under
approval
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market
conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. The
identity of the allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having
regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
(a)
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;

| Notice of Annual General Meeting

13

(b)
the effect of the issue of the Listing Rule 7.1A shares on the control of
the Company;
(c)
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • 46 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 of Meeting.

  • 47 The table also shows:

  • (a) 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 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

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

*Note: Current Variable A refers to the calculation required by Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which, in the Company’s case, equates to the current issued share capital of the Company.

  • 48 The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (a) the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Listing Rule 7.1A approval;

  • (b) no options are exercised to convert into Shares before the date of the issue of the Shares available under Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (c) 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%;

  • (d) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of a share issue under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting;

  • (e) 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;

  • (f) the issue of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A consists only of Shares; and

  • (g) the issue price is $0.096, being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 06 October 2022.

  • 49 As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, the Company has on issue 425,278,237 Shares. Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained for Resolution 4, the Company will have capacity to issue the following equity securities as at the date of the Annual General Meeting:

  • (a) 63,791,736 Shares (under Listing Rule 7.1); and

  • (b) 42,527,824 Shares (under Listing Rule 7.1A).[1]

  • 50 Listing Rule 7.1A requires Resolution 4 to be passed as a special resolution. A special resolution needs approval by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

  • 51 If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without any further Shareholder approval.

  • 52 If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain

(irrespective of the whether any vesting conditions are satisfied); or
(e)
proceed with a combination of any of the above.
Performance rights and share appreciation rights
Unless the Board decides otherwise, if a change of control trigger event
occurs, the vesting date of all performance rights and share appreciation
rights is the date on which the change of control trigger event occurs or
another date decided by the Board.
After the occurrence of a change of control trigger event, the Board must
decide whether the performance rights and share appreciation rights (or a pro
rata proportion of performance rights and share appreciation rights) vest on
the changed vesting date.
If the Board decides that performance rights and share appreciation rights do
vest, the Company must either:
(f)
issue, transfer or allocate Shares to Participants as soon as reasonably
practicable;
(g)
pay to the Participant a cash payment for the Performance Rights and
Share Appreciation Rights;
(h)
arrange for shares or other equity interests to be issued in the Bidder
in lieu of Shares on the terms decided by the Board as soon as
reasonably practicable; or
(i)
proceed with a combination of these alternatives.
If the Board decides that performance rights and share appreciation rights do
not vest:
(j)
the Board may arrange for rights in the bidder to be granted to the
participant on terms decided by the Board and the performance rights
and share appreciation rights will immediately lapse; or
(k)
those performance rights and share appreciation rights immediately
lapse, unless the Board decides otherwise.
Shares
The Board may specify in the offer a particular treatment applicable to shares
upon the occurrence of a change of control trigger event.
The Company and the participant agree that a participant may be provided
with shares in the bidder in substitution for the shares, on substantially the
same terms as the shares, but with appropriate adjustments as to the
number and type of shares.

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM

STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy. If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.

Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

STEP 4 LODGEMENT

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 10:00am (Sydney Time) Sunday, 13 November 2022. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
