EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.corazon.com.au/.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report to be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

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.

2.3 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 Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF A DIRECTOR – DR MARK YUMIN QIU

3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Dr Mark Yumin Qiu, who has held office without re-election since 25 November 2022 and being eligible retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Further information in relation to Dr Qiu is set out below.

having reviewed the performance of Dr Qiu since his

and capabilities required by the Board, the Directors (other than
Dr Qiu) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

4.1 General

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

4

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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ). The Company is an Eligible Entity.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

For this Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be cast in favour of the Resolution.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Risk of economic and
voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute
the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares
under the issue.
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the
Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities
available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting
dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders
calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing
Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares
and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be
issued as at 19 September 2024.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the
number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes
and the economic dilution where there are changes in the
issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase
as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval
(such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer)
or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:*
1.
There are currently 667,905,589 Shares on issue as at the date of this
Notice.
2.
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares
on the ASX on 19 September 2024 (being $0.004).
3.
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity
Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
4.
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months
prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing
Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
5.
The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of
Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before
the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities
includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are
exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution
effect on existing Shareholders.
6.
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one
particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should
consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on
their specific circumstances.

REQUIRED
INFORMATION
DETAILS
7.
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under
Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
8.
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%.
9.
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused
to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A
Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the
Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
(a)
the market price for the Company’s Shares may be
significantly lower on the issue date than on the date
of the Meeting; and
(b)
the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a
discount to the market price for those Shares on the
date of issue.
Allocation policy
under 7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the
7.1A Mandate 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 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following
factors:
(a)
the purpose of the issue;
(b)
alternative methods for raising funds available to the
Company at that time, including, but not limited to,
an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement
or other offer where existing Shareholders may
participate;
(c)
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the
control of the Company;
(d)
the circumstances of the Company, including, but
not limited to, the financial position and solvency of
the Company;
(e)
prevailing market conditions; and
(f)
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers
(if applicable).
Previous approval
under Listing Rule
7.1A.2
The
Company
previously
obtained
approval
from
its
Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general
meeting held on 17 November 2023 (Previous Approval).
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting,
the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to
the Previous Approval.
Voting exclusion
statement
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to
make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this
Notice.
