1.2 Voting consequences
Under the Corporations Act, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
1.3 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 Annual General Meeting.

1.5 Voting Intention
The Chair of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the Resolution.
2. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Adrian Bunter
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled not to be subject to re-election.
Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the annual general meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no director except a Managing Director shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself for re-election. The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots. A retiring director is eligible for re-election.
The Company currently has 3 Directors. Accordingly, 1 must retire.

3. Resolution 3 – Ratification of Prior Issue – Shares and Options
3.1 General
On 26 April 2017, the Company issued 33,333,333 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.03 in a share placement to RACV to raise a total of $1 million (before costs) ( Placement ). The issue price of $0.03 per Share was a 20% premium to the closing market price of Shares on the day prior to the announcement of the Placement. Pursuant to the Placement, RACV was also granted for nil consideration the following Options in recognition of the fact that RACV’s shareholding would be diluted by the exercise of quoted options which expired on 30 April 2017:
-
(a) one (1) free-attaching Option exercisable at $0.031 per Option on or before 24 April 2020 ( New A Options ) for every four (4) CL8 Shares subscribed for (therefore 8,333,333 New A Options); and
-
(b) one (1) free-attaching Option exercisable at $0.050 per Option on or before 24 April 2020 ( New B Options ) for every ten (10) CL8 Shares subscribed for (therefore 3,333,333 New B Options),
(together the RACV Options ).
The Placement Shares were issued under the placement capacity available to the Company under Listing Rule 7.1A, and the RACV Options were issued under the placement capacity available to the Company under Listing Rule 7.1.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares and RACV Options ( Ratification ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, any equity securities issued under that additional placement capacity will not be counted in the variable upon which the 10% placement capacity is based until that issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (or 12 months has passed since their issue). In addition, any equity securities issued under that additional placement capacity will reduce the balance of equity securities able to be issued under that additional capacity without prior shareholder approval until that issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (or 12 months has passed since their issue).
By ratifying this issue, the Company will increase the variable upon which the 10% placement capacity is based and retain the
10
==> picture [128 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 10% placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:
-
(a) 33,333,333 Placement Shares, 8,333,333 New A Options and 3,333,333 New B Options were issued;
-
(b) the issue price was $0.03 per Placement Share and the RACV Options were issued for nil consideration;
-
(c) the Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. The RACV Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum;
-
(d) the Placement Shares and RACV Options were issued to RACV Investment Holdings Pty Ltd ( RACV ) who is not a related party of the Company; and
-
(e) the funds raised from the issue were principally used to drive growth of Company’s peer-to-peer marketplaces through marketing, PR and product development activities and to pursue investment opportunities that align with the Company’s peer-to-peer strategy in addition to providing further working capital.
3.3 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.
3.4 Voting Intention
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the Resolution.
4. Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 – Approval of issue of Officer Options to Directors
4.1 General
Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 seek Shareholders’ approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the issue of 16,500,000 Officer Options as follows:
| Director | Number of Officer A Options Number of Officer B Options Total Number of Officer Options |
|---|---|
| Mr Chris Noone Mr Adrian Bunter Mr Joshua Landau |
3,500,000 7,000,000 10,500,000 1,500,000 1,500,000 3,000,000 1,500,000 1,500,000 3,000,000 |
| 6,500,000 10,000,000 16,500,000 |
The Board acknowledges that the grant of Officer Options to directors may be contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3[rd] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of Officer Options to directors is reasonable in the circumstances given the Company's size and stage of development, and that the incentives represented by the issue of the Officer Options are a cost effective and efficient reward and incentive, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of cash compensation. It is also not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Officer Options upon the terms proposed.
Currently, the Company’s Non-Executive Directors each receive Directors’ total fees of $30,000 per annum. The remuneration that the Non-Executive Directors receive for performing their duties as a Director is below the average remuneration levels for directors of companies with similar size to the Company’s. The grant of the Officer Options is a cash free, effective and efficient way to provide Directors with an appropriate and market level of Directors’ remuneration.
An alternative to the issue of the Officer Options would be to increase the Directors’ cash remuneration. However, given the current stage of development of the Company, and the necessity for cash resources to be preserved and directed into the growth of the Company’s business, the Board considers the issue of the Officer Options to be an appropriate cash-free method of remunerating the Directors for their commitment and contribution to the Company.
It should be noted that the Officer Options only deliver economic value to Directors if the market price of Shares increases above the relevant exercise price, and only if the Director pays the necessary funds to Collaborate to convert the Officer Options into
11
==> picture [128 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Shares. In respect of the Officer A Options, the Directors may benefit only once the market price of Share has increased 25% above the volume-weighted average market price of the Shares for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the issue of Officer Options. For the Officer B Options, the Directors’ can benefit once the market price of Shares has increased 100% above the volumeweighted average market price of the Shares for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the issue of Office Options. Based on the trading history immediately prior to 29 September 2017, the exercise price of Officer A Options would be $0.04 and for Officer B Options would be $0.064. Refer to section 4.3 (l) for information on the amounts the Officer Options may raise if exercised by the Directors.
The respective exercise prices of the Officer Options have been set to align the Directors’ interests with all interests of the Company’s Shareholders such that rewards are only obtained if the market price of the Shares increases.
Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 are ordinary resolutions.
4.2 Reason approval required
Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.11 and section 208 of the Corporations Act because the directors are related parties of the Company.
Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval for the issue of securities to a related party of the Company unless an exception applies under Listing Rule 10.13.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision (set out in Sections 210 to 216); or
-
(b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit (in accordance with Sections 217 to 227).
It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.12 may not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required for the issue of Officer Options to directors (or their nominees).
4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act require that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue of Officer Options:
- (a) A total of 16,500,000 Officer Options will be issued to the Directors (or their nominees) as follows:
| Director | Number of Officer A Options Number of Officer B Options Total Number of Officer Options |
|---|---|
| Mr Chris Noone Mr Adrian Bunter Mr Joshua Landau |
3,500,000 7,000,000 10,500,000 1,500,000 1,500,000 3,000,000 1,500,000 1,500,000 3,000,000 |
| 6,500,000 10,000,000 16,500,000 |
-
(b) The maximum number of securities to be issued is 16,500,000 Officer Options.
-
(c) The Company will issue the Officer Options no later than one month after the date of the Meeting or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow, and it is anticipated that the issue will occur on one date.
-
(d) Each of the Officer A and Office B Options will have an issue price of nil accordingly no funds will be raised. Each of the Officer Options entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share at an exercise price which will be:
-
(i) for each Officer A Option, a 25% premium to the volume-weighted average market price for Shares for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the issue of Officer A Options; and
-
(ii) for each Officer B Option, a 100% premium to the volume-weighted average market price for Shares for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the issue of Officer B Options,
and will have a 3-year term from the date of issue.
Refer to Schedule 2 for the entire terms and conditions of the Officer Options. The Shares issued on exercise of the Officer
12
==> picture [128 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Options will rank equally with the Company's existing Shares then on issue.
-
(e) The directors have interests in Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 and therefore believe that it is inappropriate to make a recommendation.
-
(f) The Black Scholes Pricing Model has been used to value the Officer Options, with the following assumptions:
-
(i) the risk free rate of interest of 2.15% is the Australian Government 3 year bond rate;
-
(ii) the underlying security spot price of $0.032 used for the purposes of this valuation is based on the Share price of the Company as at 29 September 2017;
-
(iii) the estimated volatility used in the valuation is 76%;
-
(iv) for the purposes of the valuation, no future dividend payments have been forecast; and
-
(v) for the purposes of the valuation it is assumed that the Officer Options will be issued on 29 September 2017.
Based on the above, the total of the fair value of the Officer Options at 29 September 2017 is as follows:
| Director | Fair Value of Officer A Options Fair Value of Officer B Options Total Fair Value of Officer Options |
|---|---|
| Mr Chris Noone Mr Adrian Bunter Mr Joshua Landau |
$50,291 $74,278 $124,569 $21,553 $15,917 $37,470 $21,553 $15,917 $37,470 |

(i) If the Shareholders approve the issue of the Officer Options to the Directors, the exercise of the Officer Options will result in a dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings in the Company of approximately 2.66% (assuming no other Shares are issued and no other Options are exercised) as follows:
| Director | Dilutionary effect of Officer A Options Dilutionary effect of Officer B Options Dilutionary effect of Officer Options |
|---|---|
| Mr Chris Noone Mr Adrian Bunter Mr Joshua Landau |
0.57% 1.13% 1.70% 0.24% 0.24% 0.48% 0.24% 0.24% 0.48% |

(j) The market price for Shares during the term of the Officer Options would normally determine whether or not the Officer Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Officer Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Officer Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
-
(k) Historical Share price information for the last 12 months is as follows:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.043 | 31 May 2017 |
| Lowest | $0.017 | 30 January 2017 and 8 February 2017 |
| Last | $0.034 | 10 October 2017 |
- (l) The Officer Options will be issued for nil cash consideration. Accordingly, no funds will be raised. However, the Officer Options will raise funds if they are exercised by the Directors (or their nominees). Assuming an exercise price of $0.04 for the Officer A Options and $0.064 for the Officer B Options (calculated based on the volume-weighted average market price for Shares for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to 29 September 2017), the Officer Options may raise funds if they are exercised by the Directors as follows:
| Director | Amount raised if Officer A Options are exercised Amount raised if Officer B Options are exercised Amount raised if All Officer Options are exercised |
|---|---|
| Mr Chris Noone Mr Adrian Bunter Mr Joshua Landau |
$140,000 $448,000 $588,000 $60,000 $96,000 $156,000 $60,000 $96,000 $156,000 |
| $260,000 $640,000 $900,000 |
No decision has been made on how funds raised from the exercise of Officer Options will be used. The Board will consider the circumstances of the Company at the time the funds are raised.
-
(m) The primary purpose of the issue of the Officer Options to the Directors (or their respective nominees) is to provide a performance linked incentive component in their respective remuneration packages to motivate and reward their performance in their roles as Directors.
-
(n) Other than the information above and otherwise in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Board believes that there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10.
-
(o) A voting exclusion statement has been included for each Resolution.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Options to Messrs Noone, Bunter and Landau (or their nominees) as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Options to Messrs Noone, Bunter and Landau (or their nominees) will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1
4.4 Board Recommendation

However, in respect of Resolutions 5, 6, 9 and 10, Mr Noone recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in section 4.1 above.
Mr Bunter declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 5 and 9 due to Mr Bunter’s material personal interest in the outcome of those Resolutions on the basis that Mr Bunter is to be granted Officer Options in the Company should Resolutions 5 and 9 be passed.

The Board considers the grant of Officer Options to the Company Secretary is reasonable in the circumstances given the Company's size and stage of development, and that the incentives represented by the issue of the Officer Options are a cost effective and efficient remuneration, as opposed to alternative forms of consideration, such as the payment of cash compensation.

5.2 Reason approval required
The effect of Resolutions 7 and 11 will be to allow the Company to issue the Officer Options during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by the ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

5.5 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions.
5.6 Voting Intention
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the Resolutions.
6 Resolution 12 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
6.1 Background
Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity (as defined below) to issue Equity Securities (as defined below) up to 10% of their issued share capital over up to a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which a resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by special resolution ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on deferred settlement basis); and
-
(b) is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index.
The Company is an Eligible Entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A as it is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation less than $300 million.
An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.
Equity Securities issued 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 this Notice the Company has only one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX: CL8).
If Shareholders approve Resolution 12, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Resolution 12 is a special resolution, requiring approval of 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) in order to be passed.
16
==> picture [128 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
6.2 Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information is provided below in relation to Resolution 12:
-
(a) The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 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; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of those Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue. There is also a risk that:
-
(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 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,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders of the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity using variables for the number of ordinary securities for variable “A” (as defined in Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is noted that the variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities.
The table shows:
-
(i) examples where variable “A” is at its current level and where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%;
-
(ii) examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market price as at close of trade on 29 September 2017, being $0.032, ( current market price ), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and
-
(iii) the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity are issued.
| Variable "A" | Number of Shares issued and funds raised under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity and dilution effect |
Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.016 Issue Price at half the current marketprice |
$0.032 Issue Price at current market price |
$0.064 Issue Price at double the current market price |

-
(xii) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

-
(xiv) 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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(c) Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

-
(ii) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to that nature of scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid).
( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
-
(d) The Company may issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) cash consideration. If Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards driving the growth of the peer-to-peer marketplaces through marketing, public relations and product development activities and to pursue investment opportunities that align with the Company’s peer-to-peer strategy, supplementing the Company’s working capital and covering the costs of the issue of Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) non-cash consideration for the settlement of liabilities of the Group or the acquisition of complementary assets and investments. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will comply with Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will release the valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
- (e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, entitlements issues or other issues in which existing security holders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of proposed issue of Equity Securities;
18

-
(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
-
(i) The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its Annual General Meeting held on 22 November 2016 ( Previous Approval ).
-
(ii) Pursuant to the Previous Approval, the Company issued 33,333,333 Shares on 26 April 2017 at an issue price of $0.03 per Share to RACV; and
-
(iii) During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company also issued a further 172,589,484 Shares and 16,693,244 Options. This, together with the Shares issued under the Previous Approval, represents approximately 36.42% of the total diluted post-consolidation number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company at the commencement of that 12-month period.
-
(iv) Further details of the issue of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 3.

1. Appointment of Proxy
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing 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 on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded.
A duly appointed proxy need not be a securityholder of the company.
