Details of the qualifications and experience of Mr George Su are set out in the Annual Report.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
7.2 Board Recommendation

8 Resolutions 3 and 4 – Approval to Issue Performance Rights to Directors
8.1 General
The Company is proposing to issue:
-
(a) up to 20,000,000 Performance Rights on a pre-Consolidation basis (800,000 on a post-Consolidation basis) to Mr Gerard Eakin (and/or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 3; and
-
(b) up to 20,000,000 Performance Rights on a pre-Consolidation basis (800,000 on a post-Consolidation basis) to Mr George Su (and/or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 4,
in lieu of Directors' fees accrued to Mr Eakin and Mr Su. The Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions detailed in Schedule 4.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of securities to a related party. Messrs Eakin and Su are each Directors and therefore related parties of the Company.
Resolutions 3 and 4 are ordinary resolutions.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.
8.2 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains shareholder approval.
The issue of Performance Rights to Messrs Eakin and Su (and/or their nominees) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Messrs Eakin and Su are related parties to the Company, and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 3 seeks the required shareholder approval to issue to up to 20,000,000 Performance Rights on a pre-Consolidation basis (800,000 on a post-Consolidation basis) to Mr Eakin (and/or his nominee) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 4 seeks the required shareholder approval to issue up to 20,000,000 Performance Rights on a pre-Consolidation basis (800,000 on a post-Consolidation basis) to Mr Su (and/or his nominee) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 20,000,000 Performance Rights on a pre-Consolidation basis (800,000 on a postConsolidation basis) to Mr Eakin (and/or his nominee) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the Company may issue the Performance Rights without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of up to 20,000,000 Performance Rights on a pre-Consolidation basis (800,000 on a postConsolidation basis) to Mr Eakin (and/or his nominee), and the Company will have to consider alternative means of compensating Mr Eakin in lieu of Directors' fees accrued to Mr Eakin.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 20,000,000 Performance Rights on a pre-Consolidation basis (800,000 on a postConsolidation basis) to Mr Su (and/or his nominee) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the Company may issue the Performance Rights without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of up to 20,000,000 Performance Rights on a pre-Consolidation basis (800,000 on a postConsolidation basis) to Mr Su (and/or his nominee), and the Company will have to consider alternative means of compensating Mr Su in lieu of Directors' fees accrued to Mr Su.

-
(i) Voting exclusion statements are included in the Notice for Resolutions 3 and 4.
8.4 Board Recommendation
The Board (other than Messrs Eakin and Su) recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.
9 Resolution 5 – Consolidation of Capital
9.1 Background
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the Consolidation (refer to Section 4.1 for further details).
The purpose of the Consolidation is to implement a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company and a share price more appealing to a broader range of investors.
Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
9.2 Corporates Act and Listing Rule requirements
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a Company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.
The Listing Rules also require that the number of options on issue be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary shares and the exercise price of options be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. Similarly, the number or the conversion price (or both) of convertible securities (other than options) must be reorganised so that the holders of the convertible securities do not receive a benefit that holders of ordinary securities do not receive.
9.3 Effect of Resolution 5 on Shareholders
The Company has 6,117,833,701 Shares (pre-Consolidation) on issue at the date of this Notice.
The Consolidation proposed by Resolution 5 will have the effect of reducing the number of shares on issue to approximately 244,713,348 Shares. Individual holdings will be reduced in accordance with the Consolidation ratio described in the Resolution.
The Consolidation applies equally to all members (subject only to the rounding of fractions), therefore, it will have no material effect on the percentage interest of each member in the Company. Further, the aggregate value of each member’s proportional interest in the
Company will not materially change solely as a result of the Consolidation as the only anticipated changes, which will be a result of rounding, will be immaterial.
Theoretically, the market price of each Share following the Consolidation should increase by 25 times its current value. Practically, the actual effect on the market price of each Share will be dependent upon on a number of factors which will not be within the control of the Company. Therefore, this may result in the market price of each Share following Consolidation being higher or lower than the theoretical post Consolidation price.
9.4 Effect of Resolution 5 on Optionholders
The Company has 64,000,000 Options (pre-Consolidation) on issue at the date of this Notice.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.22, and the terms of issue of the Options currently on issue, the Consolidation will involve a corresponding adjustment to Options, having the effect that the number of Options will reduce in proportion to the ordinary share capital and the exercise price will increase in inverse proportion to the Consolidation ratio. The effect the Consolidation will have on the terms of Options is set out below:
| Series | Number of Options Pre- Consolidation. |
Exercise Price Pre- Consolidation. |
Number of Options Post- Consolidation. |
Exercise Price Post- Consolidation. |
Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 16,000,000 | $0.35 | 640,000 | $8.75 | 12 December 2026 |
| 2. | 16,000,000 | $0.45 | 640,000 | $11.25 | 12 December 2026 |
| 3. | 16,000,000 | $0.55 | 640,000 | $13.75 | 12 December 2026 |
| 4. | 16,000,000 | $0.65 | 640,000 | $16.25 | 12 December 2026 |
| Total | 64,000,000 | - | 3,200,000 | - | - |
9.5 Effect of Resolution 5 on Performance Right holders
The Company has 36,363,636 Performance Rights (pre-Consolidation) on issue at the date of this Notice.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.21, and the terms of issue of the Performance Rights currently on issue, the Consolidation will involve a corresponding adjustment to Performance Rights, having the effect that the number of Performance Rights will reduce in proportion to the ordinary share capital and the current vesting criteria will remain the same so that the holder of the Performance Rights does not receive a benefit that the holders of Shares do not receive. Unlike the Options, no amount is payable by the holder of a Performance Right in order to exercise that right. The effect the Consolidation will have on the Performance Rights is set out below:
| Series | Number of Performance Rights Pre-Consolidation |
Number of Performance Rights Post Consolidation |
Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 36,363,636 | 1,454,545 | 30 June 2022 |
| Total | 36,363,636 | 1,454,545 | - |
9.6 Fractional Entitlements
Where the Share Consolidation (and associated consolidation of the Company’s Options and Performance Rights) results in an entitlement to a fraction of a Share, Option or Performance Right (as applicable), that fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares, Options or Performance Rights as applicable.
9.7 Tax implications
Shareholders, Optionholders and Performance Rights holders are encouraged to seek professional advice in relation to any tax implications which may arise as a result of the Consolidation. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, employees or advisors assumes any liability or responsibility for advising Shareholders, Optionholders and Performance Rights holders about the tax consequences for them from the proposed Consolidation.
9.8 Holding Statements
From the Consolidation Effective Date, all holdings statements for Shares, Performance Rights and Options will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Shares, Performance Rights and Options on a post-Consolidation basis.
After the Consolidation Effective Date, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares, Options and Performance Rights to be issued to holders of those Securities.
It is the responsibility of each Shareholder, Optionholder or Performance Right holder to check the number of Shares, Options or Performance Rights held prior to disposal.
9.9 Timetable for the Consolidation

Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution. Resolution 6 is subject to the approval of Resolutions 5 and 7.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.
10.2 Listing Rule 7.1

The issue of the Convertible Note Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and the conversion of the Convertible Notes is specified as subject to shareholder approval. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Convertible Note Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Convertible Note Shares upon conversion of the Convertible notes. In addition, the issue of the Convertible Note Shares 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.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Convertible Note Shares, the Convertible Notes will not be able to be converted and the outstanding amount under the Convertible Notes will remain outstanding and payable by the Company.

16.1 Background

The Proposed Share Issue Price will not be less than 80% of the 5 Trading Day VWAP of the Shares recorded prior to the announcement of the Proposed Share Issue.

The issue of the Proposed Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 reducing the Company's placement capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 months following the issue of the Proposed Shares.
Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to that number of Shares determined by $4,000,000 divided by the Proposed Share Issue Price under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 12 is passed, the issue of the Proposed Shares can proceed without using any of the Company's 15% placement capacity on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Proposed Shares and would have to rely on the 15% placement capacity to have any Proposed Shares or alternate funding options to raise additional funding for its business operations described in Section 16.3(g).
16.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
The following information in relation to the Proposed Shares is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
-
(a) The Directors intend that the Proposed Shares will be issued to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors who are not related parties of the Company. The Company has not determined who will be issued any Proposed Shares and this will be determined by the Company and its lead manager (if any) assisting with the Proposed Share Issue.
-
(b) The maximum number of Shares to be issued is up to that number of Shares which, when multiplied by the Proposed Share Issue Price, equals $4,000,000.
-
(c) The table below provides examples of the maximum number of Shares that may be issued if Shareholders approve the Resolution. The table uses various issue prices to calculate the maximum number of Shares that may be issued assuming $4,000,000 is raised by the Company:
| Issue Price ($ per Share) (on a pre-Consolidation basis) |
Number of Proposed Shares (on a pre- Consolidation basis) |
Number of Proposed Shares (on a post- Consolidation basis) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.008 | 500,000,000 | 20,000,000 |
| 0.007 | 571,428,571 | 22,857,143 |
| 0.006 | 666,666,666 | 26,666,667 |
| 0.005 | 800,000,000 | 32,000,000 |
| 0.004 | 1,000,000,000 | 40,000,000 |
| 0.003 | 1,333,333,333 | 53,333,333 |
| 0.002 | 2,000,000,000 | 80,000,000 |
| 0.001 | 4,000,000,000 | 160,000,000 |
-
(d) All Proposed Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares which rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary Shares on issue.
-
(e) The Proposed Shares will be issued no later than three months following the date of the Meeting. It is intended that the issue of Shares will occur progressively.
-
(f) The issue price per Proposed Share will be calculated using the 5 Trading Day VWAP for Shares. For the purposes of the below examples it has been assumed that the issue price of the Proposed Shares will not be less than 80% of the 5 Trading Day VWAP.
Example 1: Using the current share price of $0.002 at the time of preparing this Notice as being equivalent to the 5 Trading Day VWAP for illustration purposes, the issue price will not be less than 80% of $0.002, which is $0.0016 (on a preConsolidation basis). Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution would be approximately 2,500,000,000 (on a pre-Consolidation basis) or 100,000,000 (on a postConsolidation basis).
Example 2: If the 5 Trading Day VWAP is decreased by 50% which is equal to $0.0010, the issue price will not be less than 80% of $0.0010, which is $0.0008 (on a pre-Consolidation basis). Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution would be approximately 5,000,000,000 (on a pre-Consolidation basis) or 200,000,000 (on a postConsolidation basis).
Example 3: If the 5 Trading Day VWAP is increased by 50% which is equal to $0.0030, the issue price will not be less than 80% of $0.0030, which is $0.0024 (on a pre-Consolidation basis). Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution would be approximately
1,666,666,667 (on a pre-Consolidation basis) or 66,666,667 (on a post-Consolidation basis).
Potential Dilution Effect:
| Number of Shares (on a pre-Consolidation basis) |
Total no. of Shares on issued post issue of Shares (on a pre- Consolidation basis) |
Dilution Factor* |
Total no. of Shares on issued post issue of Shares (on a post- Consolidation basis) |
Dilution Factor* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,500,000,000 | 8,617,833,701 | 29.01% | 344,713,348 | 29.01% |
| 5,000,000,000 | 11,117,833,701 | 44.97% | 444,713,348 | 44.97% |
| 1,666,666,667 | 7,784,500,368 | 21.41% | 311,380,015 | 21.41% |
*The dilution factor does not take into account the impact of any exercise of convertible Securities.
-
(g) The proceeds from the Proposed Share Issue will be used for the technical development of the Company’s MotifMicro technology, software development of the Company's Connect platform, business development, marketing costs, research & development, and to pay for the transactions costs related to the Proposed Share Issue and for working capital and corporate purposes.

(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 12.

17 Resolution 13 – Approval for 10% Placement Capacity
17.1 General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). 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.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 17.2(c)).
If Resolution 13 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual
general meeting, in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 13 is a special resolution and therefore requires 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).
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 13.
17.2 Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two quoted classes of Equity Securities, being Shares and Listed Options.
(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 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
-
A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
-
(A) plus the number of 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 Shares issued in the relevant period 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 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 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.
At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 6,117,833,701 Shares (on a preConsolidation basis) and 244,713,348 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) and therefore has a capacity to issue:

(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.
-
(b) If Resolution 13 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 (in the case of Listed Options, only if the Listed Options are exercised). There is a risk:
-
(i) that 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.
-
(c) The below tables show 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 the Notice (on a pre-Consolidation and post-Consolidation basis).
-
(d) The tables also show:
-
(i) 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
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(ii) No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(iii) 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%.
-
(iv) 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 Meeting.
-
(v) 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.
-
(vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
(vii) The issue price is $0.002, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 5 April 2022.
-
(e) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 13 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company's current assets and/or general working capital.
-
(g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.
-
(h) 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 subscribers 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).
-
(i) The subscribers under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company and are likely to be sophisticated and professional investors.
-
(j) During the 12-month period preceding the proposed date of the Meeting, being on and from 10 May 2021, the Company issued a total of 190,317,832 Equity Securities (on a pre-Consolidation basis) under Listing Rule 7.1A which represents
approximately 3.81% of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting. Further details of the issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 12-month period preceding the proposed date of the Meeting are set out in the table below:
| Date of Issue |
Ordinary Shares |
Persons issued to or basis of issue |
Issue price | Consideration and use of funds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 October 2021 |
190,317,832 (on a pre- Consolidation basis) |
Sophisticated and professional investors who participated in the placement announced on 20 October 2021 |
$0.0033 per Share on a pre- Consolidation basis (there was no discount to the prevailing share price at the time of issue) |
$628,049 cash. Funds raised formed part of the Company's cash balance which was used for the technical development of the Company’s Motif Micro, business development, marketing costs and to pay for costs related to the October Placement and for general working purposes. |
- (k) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 13. However, as at the date of this Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 13.
