Other than as contained in the Notice and Explanatory Statement, the Directors believe that there is no other information known to the Company or the Directors that is reasonably required by Shareholders to decide whether or not it is in the Company’s best interests to pass any of the resolutions.
Terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Section 10
2. Resolution 1 – Ratification of Previous Issue of Private Placement Shares
2.1 Introduction
On 2 February 2018, the Company announced that it had raised $1,507,300 (before costs) by way of a private placement to institutional and sophisticated investors ( Private Placement ). A total of 33,495,557 Shares have been issued at $0.045 per Share. The Shares were issued under the Company’s placement availability in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification for the issue of the Shares under the Private Placement pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
2.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Under Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules, there are limitations on the capacity of a company to enlarge its capital by the issue of equity securities. 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, without shareholder approval ( Placement Capacity ).
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 a 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 and will therefore not be included for the purpose of calculating the company's Placement Capacity.
Approval is sought under Resolution 1 to allow the Company to ratify the issue of 33,495,557 Shares issued under the Private Placement not previously approved by Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. By ratifying this issue, the Shares issued under the Private Placement will not be included when determining the Company's Placement Capacity.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS
Your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman will be your proxy.
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not vote on a poll in accordance with your directions or does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote the proxies as directed.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are able. If you mark more than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
- (b) Return both forms together.
