2.1 General
On 30 May 2023, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $1,100,000 (before costs) ( Placement ), consisting of:
-
a first tranche of 13,450,000 Shares at $0.05 each ( Placement Shares ), together with one free attaching New Option ( Placement Option ) for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed for under the Placement to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors ( Tranche 1 Placement Participants ) ( Tranche 1 );
-
a second tranche of 8,550,000 Placement Shares, together with one free attaching Placement Option for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed ( Tranche 2 ), consisting of:
-
5,400,000 Placement Shares, together with one free attaching Placement Option for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed for under the Placement to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors ( Tranche 2 Placement Participants ); and -
3,150,000 Placement Shares, together with one free attaching Placement Option for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed for under the Placement to Mr David Quinlivan, Mr Robert Beeck and Mr Harjinder Kehal ( Directors ).
On 6 June 2023, the Company issued a total of 13,450,000 Placement Shares to the Tranche 1 Placement Participants whereby:
-
8,100,000 Placement Shares were issued using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
5,350,000 Placement Shares were issued using the Company's additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Due to having insufficient placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, the Company will not be able to issue the remaining Placement Shares under Tranche 2 Placement Participants and all the Placement Options to the Placement Participants until the Company obtains Shareholder approval. Accordingly, subject to receiving Shareholder approval, the Company has agreed to issue the following securities:
-
5,400,000 Placement Shares to the Tranche 2 Placement Participants; and
-
9,425,000 free attaching Placement Options to all the Placement Participants.
Furthermore, the issue of the Placement Shares and Placement Options under Tranche 2 to the Directors will require Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, subject to receiving Shareholder approval, the Company has agreed to issue the following securities to the Directors:
-
3,150,000 Placement Shares; and
-
1,575,000 free attaching Placement Options.
The Company intends to issue the Placement Options pursuant to a prospectus to be lodged by the Company with ASIC after the date of this Notice.
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 and a placement fee equal to 4% (excluding GST) of all funds raised under the Placement from clients introduced by QA Capital.
Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of Placement Shares to the Placement Participants under Tranche 1.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to approve the issue of Placement Shares to the Placement Participants under Tranche 2.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to approve the issue of Placement Options to the Placement Participants under Tranche 1 and Tranche 2.
Resolutions 1(a), 1(b), 2 and 3 are ordinary resolutions.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of the resolutions which form part of Resolution 1(a), 1(b), 2 and 3.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A, 7.2 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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A an eligible entity can seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities comprising up to 10% of its issued capital. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022.
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. As the agreement to issue the Placement Options to the Placement Participants falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2, the Placement Options cannot be issued to the Placement Participants unless Shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.
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 and 7.1A. Accordingly:
-
Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) seek Shareholder approval for the previous issue of the Placement Shares under Tranche 1 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4;
-
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of the Placement Shares under Tranche 2 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1;
-
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of the Placement Options under Tranches 1 and 2 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1;
If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 8,100,000 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 6 June 2023).
If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, the 8,100,000 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 can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of these Placement Shares (being 6 June 2023).
If Resolution 1(b), is passed, 5,350,000 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 6 June 2023).
If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, the 5,350,000 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 Shares (being 6 June 2023).
If Resolution 2 is passed, this will allow the Company to issue the Placement Shares under Tranche 2 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 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares under Tranche 2.
If Resolution 3 is passed, this will allow the Company to issue the Placement Options to the Placement Participants 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 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options to the Placement Participants.

(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 4, 5 and 6 seek the required Shareholder approval to the proposed issues of Placement Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are passed the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Securities to the Directors (or their respective nominees).
If Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 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.
3.3 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 3,150,000 Placement Shares and 1,575,000 free attaching Placement Options will be issued to the Directors as set out below:
-
(i) 2,000,000 Placement Shares and 1,000,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr David Quinlivan (or his nominees);
-
(ii) 800,000 Placement Shares and 400,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr Robert Beeck (or his nominees); and
-
(iii) 350,000 Placement Shares and 175,000 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 3,150,000 Placement Shares and 1,575,000 Placement Options, as set out below:
-
(i) 2,000,000 Placement Shares and 1,000,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr David Quinlivan (or his nominees);
-
(ii) 800,000 Placement Shares and 400,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr Robert Beeck (or his nominees); and
-
(iii) 350,000 Placement Shares and 175,000 free attaching Placement Options to Mr Harjinder Kehal.
-
(d) The issue price of the Placement Shares will be $0.05 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 2.1;
-
(h) the material terms of the Placement Options are set out in Schedule 1;
-
(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 2.1; and
-
(j) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
3.4 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 or to be 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.
4 Resolutions 7 and 8 – Approval to issue New Shares and New Options to Institutional Investors
4.1 General
The Company anticipates receiving additional demand from unrelated professional and sophisticated investors ( Institutional Investors ) to invest in the Company on the same terms as the Placement. Due to this anticipated demand, the Company may issue further Shares and Options on the same terms as the Placement to Institutional Investors. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under:
-
Resolution 7, to issue up to an additional 30,000,000 New Shares at $0.05 each on the same terms as the Placement; and
-
Resolution 8, to issue up to an additional 15,000,000 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.
Resolutions 7 and 8 are ordinary resolutions.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 7 and 8.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in section 2.2 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 Resolutions 7 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 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed to issue the New Shares.
The effect of Resolutions 8 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 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed to issue the New Options.
4.3 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) 30,000,000 Shares are to be issued as New Shares; and
-
(ii) 15,000,000 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 New Shares will be issued at $0.05 per Share. 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 2.1;
-
(g) it is intended that the New Shares and New Options will be issued on the same date;
-
(h) the material terms on which the New Shares and New Options will be issued are set out in section 4.1; and
