4. Resolution 4 – Approval to Issue up to $2,500,000 worth of Shares
Background
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes) for the issue of that number of Shares determined by $2,500,000 divided by the proposed share issue price ( Proposed Shares ), ( Proposed Share Issue ).
The Proposed Share Issue price will not be less than 75% of the five (5) Trading Day VWAP of the Shares recorded prior to the announcement of the Proposed Share Issue ( Proposed Share Issue Price ).
The proposed allottees of the Proposed Share Issue under Resolution 4 are not as yet known or identified. However, it is likely that these shares will be issued to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors who are not related parties of the Company.
The proceeds from the Proposed Share Issue will be used for the technical development of the Company’s Digital First Strategy, software development of the Company's Connect and ConnectQR platforms, business development, SEO and general marketing costs, research and development, and to pay for the transactions costs related to the Proposed Share Issue and for working capital and corporate purposes including potential acquisition of business
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
Listing Rule 7.1
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period ( 15% Placement Capacity ).
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, it effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Proposed Shares.
If Resolution 4 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 4 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 4 (g).
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
The following information in relation to Resolution 4 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.
Codeifai Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
24
-
(b) The maximum number of Proposed Shares to be issued is up to that number of Shares which, when multiplied by the Proposed Share Issue Price, equals $2,500,000.
-
(c) The table below shows examples of the number of shares which would be issued (if Shareholders approve this Resolution 4) at various issue prices. The maximum number of Proposed Shares which may be issued is 3,333,333,333:
| Issue Price ($per Share) | Number of Proposed Shares |
|---|---|
| 0.005 | 500,000,000 |
| 0.004 | 625,000,000 |
| 0.003 | 833,333,333 |
| 0.002 | 1,250,000,000 |
| 0.001 | 2,500,000,000 |
| 0.00075 | 3,333,333,333 |
-
(d) All Proposed Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing 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 the Proposed Shares will not be issued at the same time and will occur progressively.
-
(f) The issue price per Proposed Share will be calculated using the five (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 75% of the five (5) Trading Day VWAP.
Example 1 : Using the current Share price of $0.002 at the time of preparing the Notice as being equivalent to the five (5) Trading Day VWAP for illustration purposes, the issue price will not be less than 75% of $0.002, which is $0.0015. Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution 4 would be approximately 1,666,666,666 Shares.
Example 2: If the five (5) Trading Day VWAP is decreased by 50% which is equal to $0.001, the issue price will not be less than 75% of $0.001, which is $0.00075. Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution 4 would be approximately 3,333,333,333 Shares.
Example 3: If the five (5) Trading Day VWAP is increased by 50% which is equal to $0.004, the issue price will not be less than 75% of $0.004, which is $0.003. Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution 4 would be approximately 833,333,333 Shares.
Potential Dilution Effect:
| Example no. of Shares issued under Resolution 4 |
Total no. of Shares on issue post issue of Shares (including Resolution 4) |
Dilution Factor* |
|---|---|---|
| 833,333,333 | 3,983,647,348 | 20.9% |
| 1,666,666,666 | 4,816,980,681 | 34.6% |
| 3,333,333,333 | 6,483,647,348 | 51.4% |
*The dilution factor does not take into account the impact of any exercise of convertible Securities.

8. Resolutions 9 and 10 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares and Security Shares
Background
On 2 November 2023, the Company announced that it had entered an At-The-Market ( ATM ) Subscription Agreement ( ATM Agreement ) with Dolphin Corporate Investments Pty Ltd ( DCI ).
The ATM Agreement provides, at DCI’s election, the Company with up to $2,000,000 of standby equity capital over 3 years.
Under the ATM Agreement, the Company has full discretion as to whether or not to utilise the ATM facility, the maximum number of shares to be issued, the minimum issue price of shares and the timing of each subscription (if any). There are no requirements for the Company to utilise the ATM facility and the Company may terminate the ATM facility at any time, without cost or penalty. DCI and the ATM facility do not place any restrictions at any time on the Company raising capital through other methods.
If the Company does decide to utilise the ATM facility, subject to DCI’s acceptance, the Company is able to set an issue price floor at its sole discretion, with the final issue price being calculated as the greater of the nominated floor price and a Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") over a period of the Company’s choosing less a discount of 5.5%.
Any share issues under the ATM facility (if any) will, at the time of issue, be in accordance with the Listing Rules; either through obtaining prior shareholder approval or utilising the then available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and/or 7.1A or through the release of already issued Security Shares (see below).
The Company has issued Shares as security for the ATM facility utilising its existing Listing Rule 7.1 Capacity for nil consideration ( Security Shares ). DCI may only deal in these shares to the extent the Company elects to use the facility, in which case DCI will at the time pay the subscription price for that number of shares the subject of election. Any further share issues under the ATM facility in excess of the Security Shares (if any) will, at the time of issue, be in accordance with the Listing Rules, either through obtaining prior shareholder approval or utilising the then available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and/or 7.1A.
Upon early termination or maturity of the ATM facility, the Company may buy back (and cancel) any Security Shares not released to DCI for no cash consideration (subject to shareholder approval). DCI may also, and if the Company agrees, pay the Company a price for the Security Shares with such price and settlement date to be agreed by the parties. If none of the above occurs, CDI must transfer the Security Shares to a third party nominated by the Company for nil

consideration.
On 1 May 2024, the Company issued 17,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.00189 per Share to DCI utilising its existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( May Shares ).
On 7 October 2024, the Company issued 37,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.000945 per Share (which were previously approved by Shareholders as Security Shares on 1 May 2024).
On 19 November 2024, the Company issued 130,000,000 Shares to DCI as Security Shares utilising its existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( November Security Shares ).
Resolution 9 proposes that Shareholders ratify the prior issue of the May Shares.
Resolution 10 proposes that Shareholders ratify the prior issue of the November Security Shares. Resolutions 9 and 10 are ordinary resolutions.
The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 9 and 10.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
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.
The issue of the May Shares and the November Security Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as they have not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, they effectively use up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following their date of issue.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolutions 9 and 10 seek Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of the May Shares and November Security Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolutions 9 and 10 are passed, the issue of the May Shares and November Security Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following their date of issue.
If Resolutions 9 and 10 are not passed, the issue of the May Shares and November Security Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following their date of issue.

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:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) 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;
-
(c) 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;

-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) 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 Related Party Securities to Mr John Houston, Mr George Su and Mr Colin Turner (and/or their respective nominee(s)) falls within paragraph (a) above (being Listing Rule 10.11.1), as Messrs Houston, Su and Turner are related parties of the Company, and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 14 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue 22,222,220 Shares and 22,222,220 Options to Mr John Houston (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolutions 14 to 16 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Related Party Securities to the relevant Director (and/or his nominee(s)) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), the issue of the relevant Related Party Securities 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 Resolutions 14 to 16 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of relevant Related Party Securities to the relevant Director (and/or his nominee(s)) and the Company will not be able to raise funds from issuing Related Party Securities to that Director and may seek to raise them from alternate investors.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1A and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolution 18 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the December Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 18 is passed, the issue of the December Placement Shares will be excluded in

19. Resolution 23 – Adoption of Employee Incentive Plan
Background
The employee incentive plan known as the Codeifai Limited Employee Incentive Plan ( Plan ) enables the Company to grant Shares, Performance Rights, Options and Shares upon the exercise or conversion of those Performance Rights and Options ( Incentive Securities ) to be issued to eligible Directors, employees and contractors of the Company ( Eligible Participants ).
The Plan was approved at the 2023 annual general meeting of the Company and, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13), is due to be renewed in 2026. Shareholders approved a maximum of 61,924,885 Incentive Securities to be issued under the Plan at the 2023 annual general meeting of the Company. The Company seeks adoption of the Plan to have the ability to issue further Incentive Securities under the Plan (without using up any of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity).
Resolution seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), to adopt the Plan, and to enable Shares, Options and Performance Rights (and Shares upon exercise or conversion of those Performance Rights or Options) to be issued under the Plan to Eligible Participants to be exempted from Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of three years from the date on which Resolution 23 is passed.
A summary of the Plan, to be adopted pursuant to Resolution 23, is detailed in Schedule 5.
No Directors will receive securities pursuant to Resolution 23. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek separate Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Incentive Securities under the Plan to a Director or any other related party or person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
The Plan is intended to assist the Company to attract and retain key staff, whether employees or contractors. The Board believes that grants made to Eligible Participants under the Plan will
Codeifai Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
51
provide a powerful tool to underpin the Company's employment and engagement strategy, and that the Plan will:
-
(a) enable the Company to incentivise and retain existing Key Management Personnel and other eligible employees and consultants needed to achieve the Company's business objectives;
-
(b) link the reward of key staff with the achievement of strategic goals and the long term performance of the Company;
-
(c) align the financial interest of participants of the Plan with those of Shareholders; and
-
(d) provide incentives to participants under the Plan to focus on superior performance that creates Shareholder value.
If Resolution 23 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Incentive Securities to eligible Directors, employees and contractors of the Company under the Plan without using up any of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. However, the Company will be required to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of any Incentive Securities issued under the Plan to eligible Directors pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14.
If Resolution 23 is not passed, the Company may still issue Incentive Securities to eligible Directors, employees and contractors of the Company under the Plan but any issue will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity for 12 months following the issue. However, the Company will be required to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of any Incentive Securities issued under the Plan to eligible Directors pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolution 23 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairman intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 23.
Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13)
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is detailed in Section 4.
Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13) provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13) is that any issues of Incentive Securities under the Plan are treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. Approval under Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13) lasts for a period of three years.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.2
The following information in relation to Resolution 23 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13):
-
(a) the material terms of the Plan are summarised in Schedule 5;
-
(b) since the adoption of the Plan in 2023, a total of 38,705,322 Incentive Securities have been issued under the Plan;
-
(c) the maximum number of Incentive Securities the Company may issue under the Plan following Shareholder approval is 315,031,401 (pre-consolidation), being no more than 10% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the Notice; and
-
(d) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 23.
Codeifai Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum

Board recommendation
The Board is excluded from voting on Resolution 23 pursuant to the Listing Rules as they are eligible to participate under the Plan. Accordingly, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 23.
20. Resolution 24 – Consolidation of Capital
Background
Resolution 24 seeks Shareholder approval, under and for the purposes of section 254H of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the Constitution, to consolidate the Company's issued capital by consolidating (i.e. converting) every 10 existing Shares into one new Share ( Consolidation ).
The purpose of the Consolidation is to reduce the number of Securities on issue. The Board considers this will provide the best path forward for continued growth.
Resolution 24 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution.
Corporations Act and Listing Rules requirements
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number of shares.
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.
Effect of Consolidation to Shareholders
The Company has 3,150,314,015 Shares (pre-Consolidation) on issue at the date of this Notice.
The Consolidation proposed by Resolution 24 will have the effect of reducing the number of shares on issue to approximately 315,031,401 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.
Theoretically, the market price of each Share following the Consolidation should increase by 10 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.
Codeifai Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
53
Effect of Consolidation to Optionholders
The Company has 702,560,000 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:
| Number of Options |
Exercise Price |
Number of Options |
Exercise Price | Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre- consolidation |
Pre- consolidation |
Post- Consolidation |
Post- Consolidation |
|
| 500,000,000 | $0.003 | 50,000,000 | $0.03 | 28 June 2027 |
| 200,000,000 | $0.005 | 20,000,000 | $0.05 | 16 January 2026 |
| 640,000 | $11.25 | 64,000 | $112.50 | 12 December 2026 |
| 640,000 | $13.75 | 64,000 | $137.50 | 12 December 2026 |
| 640,000 | $16.23 | 64,000 | $162.30 | 12 December 2026 |
| 640,000 | $8.75 | 64,000 | $87.50 | 12 December 2026 |
| 702,560,000 | 70,256,000 |
Effect of Consolidation to Performance Right holders and Convertible Note holders
The Company has 38,705,140 Performance Rights (pre-Consolidation) on issue at the date of this Notice. The Company has 245,000 Convertible Notes on issue at the date of this Notice.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.21, and the terms of issue of the Performance Rights and Convertible Notes currently on issue, the Consolidation will involve a corresponding adjustment to Performance Rights and Convertible Notes, having the effect that the number of Performance Rights and the number of Shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes 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 and the holder of the Convertible Notes 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 or the holder of a Convertible Note to convert that note into a Share. The effect the Consolidation will have on the Performance Rights and Convertible Notes is detailed below:
Codeifai Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
54
| Security | Number of Securities | Number of Securities | Expiry Date / Maturity Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-consolidation | Post- Consolidation | ||
| Performance Rights |
38,705,140 | 3,870,514 | Remains unchanged |
| Convertible Notes | 245,000 | 245,000* | Remains unchanged |
*The entitlement of Convertible Note holders to convert their Convertible Notes into Shares will be reconstructed in the same proportion as the ordinary share capital of the Company is reconstructed.
Fractional Entitlements and taxation
Not all Shareholders, Optionholders or Performance Right holders will hold a number of Shares, Options and Performance Rights which can be evenly divided by 10. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, that fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares, Options or Performance Rights.
It is not considered that any taxation consequences will exist for Shareholders, Optionholders, or Performance Right holders arising from the Consolidation. However, Shareholders, Optionholders and Performance Right 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 Right holders about the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.
Timing of Consolidation
The Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following proposed reorganisation timetable:
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| [Tuesday, 1 April 2025] | Company announces Consolidation and Consolidation Effective Date |
| [Thursday, 1 May 2025] | Meeting to approve the Consolidation |

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 and Performance Right holder to check the number of Shares, Options or Performance Rights held prior to disposal.
Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 24.
21. Resolution 25 – Approval for 10% Placement Capacity
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 Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Codeifai Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
56
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 by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.
If Resolution 25 is passed, the effect will be that the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 25 is not passed, the effect will be that the Company will not be able to issue any Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity and will have to rely upon its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of Equity Securities.
Resolution 25 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 Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 25.
Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
Any 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.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities, being Shares.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities that 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 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exception 9, 16 or 17),
-
(ii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 (exception 9) where:
-
(A) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the 12 months; or
-
(B) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,
-
Codeifai Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
57
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities in the 12 months under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 16) where:
-
(A) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(B) the agreement or issue was approved or taken under these rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,
-
(iv) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4 (noting that this may include fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 17) where the issue is subsequently approved under Listing Rule 7.1),
-
(v) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(vi) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
-
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 where the issue or agreement to issue has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 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 3,150,314,015 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 472,547,102 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 25, 315,031,401 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(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.
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
Codeifai Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
58
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained.
-
(ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting.
-
(iii) the time and date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( the 10% Placement Period ).
Effect of Resolution
The effect of Resolution 25 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:
-
(a) the Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP 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 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) if Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is 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.
-
(c) the below table 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 the Notice.
-
(d) the table also shows:
-
(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 Capacity.
-
(ii) No Performance Rights or Options are exercised or converted 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 Capacity, 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 Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(vii) The issue price is $0.001, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 2 April 2025. The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.
-
(e) the Company may seek to issue Equity Securities for cash consideration, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s existing and future activities, appraisal of corporate opportunities, investments in new businesses (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and for general working capital;
-
(f) the Company will only issue the Listing Rule 7.1A Shares during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 25 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 of scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(g) the Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.3 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 Capacity. 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) the Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the AGM held on 30 May 2024. The approval granted on 30 May 2024 will cease to be valid as at the date of this AGM.
-
(k) during the 12-month period preceding the proposed date of the Meeting, the Company issued or agreed to issue a total of 229,019,213 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A which represent 28.4% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue on [1 May 2024]:
