3 Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
3.1 Overview
Subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report 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 Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.
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.
3.2 Voting consequences
In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report. However, the Board will actively consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company’s future remuneration policies and practices.
If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
3.3 Previous voting results
The Company's Remuneration Report received a Strike at the 2022 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution. The Board encourages Shareholders to vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report.
8
4 Resolution 2 – Spill Resolution
If less than 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Chair will withdraw Resolution 2.
The Corporations Act requirements for this Resolution 2 to be put to vote are set out in section 3.
The effect of this Resolution being passed is the Company will be required to hold another meeting of Shareholders within 90 days of the date of this Meeting ( Spill Meeting ) and the Vacating Directors will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting. The business of the Spill Meeting will be to put to vote resolutions to appoint persons to offices vacated by the Vacating Directors.
In the event a Spill Meeting is required a separate notice of meeting will be distributed to Shareholders with details about those persons that will seek election as directors of the Company at the Spill Meeting.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
5 Resolution 3 – Re-election of Director – Mr Robert Beeck
5.1 General
Clause 7.2(b) of the Constitution requires that there is an election of Directors at each annual general meeting of the Company. If no person or Director is standing for election or re-election in accordance with the Constitution, clause 7.2(b)(iv) provides that that any director who wishes to may retire and stand for re-election.
Accordingly, Mr Robert Beeck retires by rotation at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election pursuant to Resolution 3.
If elected, Mr Robert Beeck is not considered to be an independent Director, as Mr Beeck is a director of Shenton Resources Limited, a substantial shareholder of the Company.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board (other than Mr Beeck) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 for the following reasons:
-
(a) Mr Beeck has the necessary level of experience which is relevant to the Company's phase of growth; and
-
(b) Mr Beeck is well known in the industry for his strong leadership and focus on delivering shareholder returns.
5.2 Mr Robert Beeck
Mr Beeck has over 30 years’ experience in mineral processing operations management in Australia with relation to nickel, diamonds, gold and iron ore. Mr Beeck has held senior roles in mine operations, feasibility studies, engineer design and construction of ore processing and infrastructure projects. Mr Beeck is an associate member of the AusIMM and Master of Business Administration (University of Western Australia). Currently, Mr Beeck is General Manager of API Management, the manager of the joint venture of the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project.

6 Resolution 4 and 5 – Issues of Placement Securities to the Placement Participants
6.1 General
On 18 October 2023, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $270,000 (before costs) ( Placement ), consisting of:
-
a first tranche of 5,600,000 Shares, together with one free attaching Placement Option for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed to unrelated professional and sophisticated investors ( Placement Participants ); and
-
a second tranche of 1,150,000 Placement Shares, together with one free attaching Placement Option for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed to Mr David Quinlivan, Mr Robert Beeck and Mr Harjinder Kehal ( Directors ).
On 20 October 2023, the Company issued a total of 5,600,000 Placement Shares and 2,800,000 free attaching Placement Options to the Placement Participants using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The issue of the Placement Shares and Placement Options to the Directors require Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, the Company has agreed to issue 1,150,000 Placement Shares and 575,000 free attaching Placement Options to the Directors.
The Company engaged the services of QA Capital Pty Ltd ( QA Capital ) to manage the Placement, in consideration for a management fee equal to 2% (excluding GST) of all funds raised under the Placement from clients introduced by QA Capital.
Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue the Placement Shares to the Placement Participants.
Resolutions 4 and 5 are ordinary resolutions.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5.
6.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
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.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rules 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
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 Rules 7.1. Accordingly, Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of Placement Shares and Placement Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 4 is passed, 5,600,000 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of these Placement Shares (being 20 October 2023).
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the 5,600,000 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it
10
can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of these Placement Shares (being 20 October 2023).
If Resolution 5 is passed, 2,800,000 Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of these Placement Options (being 20 October 2023).
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the 2,800,000 Placement Options will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of these Placement Options (being 20 October 2023).

The Placement Securities will be issued to the Directors on the same terms as the Placement Securities issued or to be issued under the Placement to the Placement Participants. Please refer to section 6.1 for a summary and terms of the Placement.
Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 are ordinary resolutions.
The Board (other than Mr David Quinlivan, who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
The Board (other than Mr Robert Beeck, who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 7) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
The Board (other than Mr Harjinder Kehal, who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 8) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.
7.2 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:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. As their participation in the Placement involves the issue of Shares to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 seek the required Shareholder approval to the proposed issues of Placement Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 are passed the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Securities to the Directors (or their respective nominees).
12
If Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Securities to the Directors (or their respective nominees) and the Company will need to return funds received from the Directors under the Placement.
As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of Placement Securities to the Directors (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
7.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to their proposed participation:
-
(a) up to 1,150,000 Placement Shares and 575,000 free attaching Placement Options will be issued to the Directors as set out below:
-
(i) 500,000 Placement Shares and 250,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr David Quinlivan (or his nominees);
-
(ii) 250,000 Placement Shares and 125,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr Robert Beeck (or his nominees); and
-
(iii) 400,000 Placement Shares and 200,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr Harjinder Kehal.
-
(b) Mr Quinlivan, Mr Beeck and Mr Kehal are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors and fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1. In the event that any of the Placement Securities are issued to a nominee of a Director those persons will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.
-
(c) the maximum number of Placement Securities to be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) is 1,150,000 Placement Shares and 575,000 Placement Options, as set out below:
-
(i) 500,000 Placement Shares and 250,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr David Quinlivan (or his nominees);
-
(ii) 250,000 Placement Shares and 125,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr Robert Beeck (or his nominees); and
-
(iii) 400,000 Placement Shares and 200,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr Harjinder Kehal.
-
(d) The issue price of the Placement Shares will be $0.04 each, being the same as all other Placement Shares issued or to be issued under the Placement to the Placement Participants, with the Placement Options to be issued as free attaching options for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed for under the Placement and therefore at an issue price of nil;
-
(e) the Placement Securities will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
(f) the Placement Shares and any Shares issued on exercise of the Placement Options will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
-
(g) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement as set out in section 6.1;
-
(h) the material terms of the Placement Options are set out in Schedule 1;
13
-
(i) the Placement Securities are not being issued under an agreement, but are otherwise being issued on the same terms as the Placement described in section 6.1; and
-
(j) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 issue of the Placement Securities to the Directors constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company. Mr Quinlivan, Mr Beeck and Mr Kehal are all related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. However, the Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required as the Placement Securities will be issued on the same terms as the Placement Securities issued to the Placement Participants, who are not related parties of the Company, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is considered to be on arm's length terms.
8 Resolution 9 – Approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity
8.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an 'eligible entity' may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities equal to 10% of its issued capital at the time of issue calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company's existing 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and without requiring further shareholder approval prior to the issue.
The Company is seeking approval under Resolution 9 to have the flexibility to issue additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. As at the date of this Notice, no decision has been made by the Company to undertake any issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity if Shareholders approve this Resolution.
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to provide the Company the ability to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity during the Additional 10% Placement Period (refer to section 8.3(a) below). The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will effectively be able to issue equity securities up to a combined annual placement capacity of 25% under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (subject to certain restrictions) without necessarily requiring prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the Additional 10% Placement Capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval. This means the Company will only have access to the 15% annual placement capacity for issuing equity securities without necessarily requiring prior Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.
14
8.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Eligible Entity
Under the Listing Rules, an 'eligible entity' is an entity which, as at the date of the relevant resolution, is not included in the S&P / ASX300 Index and has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) equal to or less than $300 million. The Company has a market capitalisation of $3,264,000 and is currently an 'eligibly entity'.
(b) Special resolution
Resolution 9 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
(c) Type of Securities which may be issued
Any Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the company.
As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities, being Shares.
(d) Interaction with Listing Rule 7.1
The Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, approval of this Resolution will enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A without using its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
(e) Effect of Resolution 9
The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
8.3 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the Additional 10% Placement Capacity:
(a) Effective period
Shareholder approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is valid from the date of the Meeting and expires on the earlier of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the date that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (change involving main undertaking),
( Additional 10% Placement Period ).
15
(b) Minimum issue price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the issue price is agreed for Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,
( Minimum Issue Price ).
The Company will disclose this information when Equity Securities are issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.
(c)
Purpose of issue
The Company may only issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration, which it may do to fund any one or more of the following:
-
(i) general working capital expenses;
-
(ii) activities associated with its current assets, including to advance its exploration and feasibility programs and project development generally;
-
(iii) repayment of debt; and
-
(iv) acquisition and investment in new assets (including associated expenses).
The Company will disclose this information when Equity Securities are issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.
(d) Economic and voting dilution risks
If Equity Securities are issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of Shareholders, including:
-
(i) the market price for Equity Securities in the class of securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of approval under Listing Rule 7.1A (i.e. the date of the Meeting); and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised from the issue of the Equity Securities.
The table below illustrates:
-
(i) the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of ordinary securities for variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice ( Variable A );
-
(ii) two examples where variable 'A' has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable 'A' is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue as at the date of this Notice. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (e.g. a pro rata entitlement offer or securities issued under a takeover offer) or future specific
16
placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future general meeting; and
- (iii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the market price as at 20 October 2023.
| Number of Shares on issue (Variable 'A' in Listing Rule 7.1A2) |
Issue price per Share |
|---|---|
| $0.02 (50% decrease) $0.04 (current) $0.06 (50% increase) |
|
| 81,600,000 (current) |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution 8,160,000 8,160,000 8,160,000 |
| Funds raised $163,200 $326,400 $489,600 |
|
| 122,400,000 (50% increase) |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution 12,240,000 12,240,000 12,240,000 |
| Funds raised $244,800 $489,600 $734,400 |
|
| 163,200,000 (100% increase) |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution 16,320,000 16,320,000 16,320,000 |
| Funds raised $326,400 $652,800 $979,200 |
Notes:
-
1 There are currently 81,600,000 Shares on issue.
-
2 The issue price used is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 20 October 2023.
-
3 The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.
-
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 Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares and the consideration provided for those Shares is cash. 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 new Options, it is assumed that those new Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
6 The calculations 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.
-
7 This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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%.
17
(e) Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy and the identity of the recipients of Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of issue and in the Company's discretion.
No decision has been made in relation to an issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, including whether the Company will engage with new investors or existing Shareholders and, if so, the identities of any such persons.
However, when determining the allocation policy and the identity of the recipients, the Company will have regard to the following considerations:
-
(i) prevailing market conditions;
-
(ii) the purpose for the issue of the Equity Securities;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
(iv) impacts of the placement on control;
-
(v) other methods of raising capital; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Recipients may include existing Shareholders or new investors, but not persons who are related parties who would otherwise require Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.
(f) Previous approval and issues under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022.
In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued 5,350,000 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2. This represents 9.91% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Details of each issue of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 2.
(g) Voting exclusion statement
At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
9 Resolutions 10 and 11 – Approval to issue New Shares and New Options to Institutional Investors
9.1 General
The Company anticipates receiving additional demand from unrelated professional and sophisticated investors ( Institutional Investors ) to invest in the Company. Due to this anticipated demand, the Company may issue further Shares and free attaching Options (on a 2 for 1 basis) to Institutional Investors. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under:
- Resolution 10, to issue up to an additional 50,000,000 New Shares; and
18
Resolution 11, to issue up to an additional 25,000,000 free attaching New Options with an exercise price of $0.08 each, expiry of 5 June 2025 and otherwise on the same terms as the Placement Options issued under the Placement. Resolutions 10 and 11 are ordinary resolutions.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 10 and 11.
9.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.2
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in section 6.2 above.
Listing Rule 7.2 sets out various types of equity issues that are excluded from the operation of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. The issue of the New Shares and New Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Resolution 10 will be to allow the Company to issue the New Shares during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed to issue the New Shares.
The effect of Resolution 11 will be to allow the Company to issue the New Options during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed to issue the New Options.
9.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Placement Shares:
-
(a) a maximum of:
-
(i) 50,000,000 Shares are to be issued as New Shares; and
-
(ii) 25,000,000 free attaching Options are to be issued as New Options;
-
(b) the New Shares and New Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
(c) the issue price of the New Shares will be at least 80% of the VWAP for Shares, calculated over the last 10 days on which sales in Shares were recorded before the day on which the issue is made or, if there is a prospectus, product disclosure statement or offer information statement relating to the issue, over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before the date of the prospectus, product disclosure statement or offer information statement is signed. The New Options are free-attaching to the New Shares and therefore will be issued at an issue price of nil;
-
(d) the New Shares and New Options will be issued to Institutional Investors, none of whom will be a related party of the Company. The Institutional Investors are expected to be introduced to the Company by QA Capital and would be selected in consultation with the Company;
-
(e) the New Shares will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue, and the New Options will be exercisable at $0.08 each on 5 June 2023 and will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;
-
(f) the Company intends to use the proceeds from the issue of New Shares for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement as set out in section 6.1;
19
-
(g) it is intended that the New Shares and New Options will be issued on the same date;

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE MEETING, PLEASE BRING THIS FORM WITH YOU. THIS WILL ASSIST IN REGISTERING YOUR ATTENDANCE.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
This form shows 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 Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, 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.
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution 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 resolution 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 resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the Meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.
SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM
Individual:
Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.
Joint Holding:
Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.
Power of Attorney:
If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies:
Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chair) or other member of the Company’s key management personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolutions 1, 2, 6, 7 & 8, by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolutions 1, 2, 6, 7 & 8.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as they see fit on that resolution.

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.
