ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities by a company made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the company’s shareholders subsequently approve it.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the securities in Resolution 1 in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the ratification of the prior issue of the 2,000,000 Shares to Carmelton Enterprises nominee, Mr Kwok Ming Li.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the securities in Resolution 2 in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
