  • (c) the person is appointed as a proxy that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on Resolutions 5 to 8 (inclusive); or

3. Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Placement Shares

3.1 Background

On 20 October 2021, the Company announced that it had received commitments to raise $3,000,000 through a placement to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors through the issue of a total of 909,090,914 Shares at $0.0033 per Share ( Placement Shares ) ( Placement ).

The Placement Shares were issued on 27 October 2021. Refer to the Appendix 2A lodged on ASX on 27 October 2021 for further details.

EverBlu Capital Pty Ltd acted as corporate advisor and lead manager to the Placement and received a 6% fee on the gross amount raised as well as 30,000,000 Shares.

Refer to the Company's announcement released on ASX on 20 October 2021 for further details of the Placement.

The Placement Shares were issued using the Company's existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of 718,773,077 Placement Shares (pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule 7.1), to institutional, sophisticated, and professional investors (who are not related parties or associates of related parties of the Company).

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of 190,317,837 Placement Shares (pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule

  • 10 -

7.1A), to institutional, sophisticated, and professional investors (who are not related parties or associates of related parties of the Company).

Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

3.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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 ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

Additionally, Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity 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 additional to the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company obtained the requisite shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2021 annual general meeting held on 26 May 2021.

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 that rule.

Additionally, Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A) those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company confirms that the issue of Shares under the October Placement did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A.

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 and Listing Rule 7.1A.

The effect of passing Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% Placement Capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

The effect of passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 10% Placement Capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in the Company’s 10% Placement Capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

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.

Issue Price ($ per Share) Number of Proposed Shares
0.008 500,000,000
0.007 571,428,571
0.006 666,666,666
0.005 800,000,000
0.004 1,000,000,000

  • (d) 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.

  • (e) 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 day VWAP.

Example 1: Using the current share price of $0.003 at the time of preparing this Notice as being equivalent to the 5 day VWAP for illustration purposes, the issue price will not be less than 80% of $0.003, which is $0.0024. Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution would be approximately 1,666,666,667.

Example 2: If the 5 day VWAP is decreased by 50% which is equal to $0.0015, the issue price will not be less than 80% of $0.0015, which is $0.0012. Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution would be approximately 3,333,333,333.

Example 3: If the 5 day VWAP is increased by 50% which is equal to $0.0045, the issue price will not be less than 80% of $0.0045, which is $0.0036. Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution would be approximately 1,111,111,111.

Potential Dilution Effect:

Number of Shares Total no. of Shares
on issued post
issue of Shares
Dilution Factor*
1,666,666,667 6,688,487,185 24.92%

*The dilution factor does not take into account the impact of any exercise of convertible Securities.
