-
(b) Resolution 2 – Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Notes;

2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES – TRANCHE 1 – LISTING RULE 7.4
2.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, the Company entered into the Convertible Note Deeds for the issue of the Convertible Notes. Under Tranche 1, the Company agreed to issue 968 Convertible Notes on 15 May 2023 to the value of $968,000, to new and existing sophisticated and professional investors ( Tranche 1 Notes ).
The Convertible Notes can be converted after 15 August 2023 in accordance with the Conversion Formula. A summary of the key terms of the Convertible Note Deeds is set out in Schedule 1.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Notes did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
2.2 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.]
The issue of the Tranche 1 Notes does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses 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
7
Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.
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.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking, under Resolution 1, Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Notes will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Notes will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Notes.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
-
(a) the Tranche 1 Notes were issued to new and existing professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of GBA Capital. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved GBA Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:
-
(i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
-
(c) the Tranche 1 comprising of 968 Convertible Notes were issued with a total face value of $968,000. The Tranche 1 Notes issued will convert into fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares in accordance with the Conversion Formula.
-
(d) the Tranche 1 Notes were issued on 15 May 2023;
8
-
(e) the Company did not receive any consideration for the Tranche 1 Notes other than the net amount paid by the Investors of $968,000 to subscribe for the Tranche 1 Notes in accordance with the Convertible Note Deeds;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Notes is to raise $968,000, which the Company intends to apply as set out in Section 1.1; and
-
(g) the Tranche 1 Notes were issued to the Investors pursuant to the Convertible Note Deeds. A summary of the material terms of the Convertible Note Deeds is set out in Schedule 1.
2.5 Dilution
Set out below is a worked example of the number of Shares that may be issued subject to conversion of the Tranche 1 Notes based on the assumed conversion prices of $0.006 and $0.002678 per Convertible Note, being the conversion price of the Tranche 1 Notes if converted after 15 August 2023, at the ceiling price of $0.006 and an assumed conversion price which is a 15% discount to the Share price as of 28 April 2023, being $0.002678, pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note Deeds.

As set out in Section 1.1 above, the Company entered into the Convertible Note Deeds for the issue of the Convertible Notes.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Notes.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company may not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Notes and the funds raised under the Tranche 2 Notes shall be treated as a loan, repayable in cash by the Company to the Investors, in accordance with the redemption provisions in the Convertible Note Deeds.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options.

6. RESOLUTIONS 5, 6 AND 7 – APPROVAL TO SHARES TO CHRISTOPHER GALE, DAVID VILENSKY AND ANTHONY GREENAWAY IN LIEU OF DIRECTORS’ FEES
6.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval to issue Shares to Christopher Gale, David Vilensky and Anthony Greenaway (together, the Related Parties ):
-
(a) 12,682,072 Shares to Christopher Gale (or their nominee);
-
(b) 9,607,631 Shares to David Vilensky (or their nominee); and
-
(c) 9,607,631 Shares to Anthony Greenaway (or their nominee),
(together, the Related Party Shares ) , in lieu of directors’ fees payable to the Related Parties as at 30 April 2023.
Resolutions 5, 6, and 7 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Shares.
6.2 Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Shares should Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 of this Notice.
6.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit. Christopher Gale, David Vilensky and Anthony Greenaway are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
As the Related Party Shares are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Related Party Shares. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Shares in respect of the Participation is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
6.4 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:
15
-
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 the approval of its shareholders.
The Related Parties fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 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.
Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
6.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Shares within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Shares and instead will be required to pay the Related Parties, an equivalent amount in cash.
6.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
