Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at 1:00PM (AEDT) on 29 January 2021 at Level 5, 126 Phillip Street, Sydney NSW 2000.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

If you are in any doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions contemplated in the Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement, it is recommended that you seek advice from an accountant, solicitor or other professional advisor.

Full details of the business to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting are set out below.

Resolutions

Ratification of Prior Issue of Securities

Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Placement Shares issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A

Background

On 11 November 2020, the Company announced that it had firm commitments for a placement to sophisticated and institutional investors ( Placement ) of 104,545,455 new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.055 per Share ( Placement Shares ), raising $5.75 million (before costs) for the Company.

As part of the Placement, each Placement Share attaches a 1-for-2 entitlement to Options (1 Option for every 2 Placement Shares), exercisable at $0.10 per Option with an expiry date of two (2) years from the date of issue, subject to Shareholder approval which is being sought under Resolution 4 of this Notice of Meeting.

Accordingly, on 20 November 2020, the Company issued 104,545,455 Placement Shares utilising its existing capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 104,545,455 Placement Shares which were issued on 20 November 2020 ( Issue Date ).

44,977,424 Placement Shares were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 59,568,031 Placement Shares were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

At its 2019 AGM, the Company sought and obtained approval of its Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1A to increase its 15% capacity limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The issue of Placement Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions (to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the expanded 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the Issue Date (noting that the extra 10% under Listing Rule 7.1A will expire unless reapproved by the Company’s Shareholders on an annual basis).

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities

IXUP Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

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 Listing Rule 7.1.

A note to Listing Rule 7.4 also provides that an issue made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A can be approved subsequently under Listing Rule 7.4 and, if it is, the issue will then be excluded from variable “E” in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (which means that the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A is not reduced).

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 Rule 7.1.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of the Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 25% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 25% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The Company issued 104,545,455 Placement Shares of which:

  • (i) 44,977,424 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (Resolution 1); and

  • (ii) 59,568,031 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A (Resolution 2)

  • (b) Shares were fully paid on issue and ranked equally in all aspects with all existing fully paid ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

  • (c) The Placement Shares were issued on 20 November 2020.

  • (d) The Placement Shares were issued to a range of sophisticated and institutional investors introduced to the Company to subscribe for the Placement Shares by its broker Cygnet Capital Pty Ltd. For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, entities related to Darien Jagger and Jonathan Rosham, principals of Cygnet Capital Pty Limited, are deemed to be associates of a corporate advisor to the Company.

  • (e) Each of the Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.055 per Placement Share, which raised a total of $5.75 million (before costs) for the Company.

  • (f) Funds raised from the issue of the Shares have been and will be used by the Company to accelerate the commercialisation of IXUP’s proprietary platform and position the Company to pursue an extension of its existing encrypted data analytics business.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.

Background

On 22 October 2020, the Company announced that it had issued 10,000,000 unlisted Options, each exercisable at $0.08 per Option and which expire on 22 October 2022, to Marcus Gracey as part of his remuneration and terms of engagement upon his appointment as an Executive Director of the Company.

The Options were issued on 22 October 2020 by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and without Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.12 (exception 12) as the issue was made pursuant to the terms of Mr Gracey’s engagement as an Executive Director of the Company, being an agreement between the Company and Mr Gracey who would not otherwise be a related party of the Company but for the fact that he believed that he was likely to become a related party in the future because of this agreement.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 10,000,000 Options, which were issued to Mr Gracey on 22 October 2020 ( Issue Date ).

All of the Options were issued by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of Options to Mr Gracey did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s 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 Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

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 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 Rule 7.1.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of the Options to Mr Gracey for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of the Options to Mr Gracey will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of the Options to Mr Gracey will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The Options were issued to Marcus Gracey.

  • (b) The Company issued 10,000,000 unlisted Options.

  • (c) The Options are each exercisable at $0.08 per Option and expire on 22 October 2022. Shares issued on conversion of the Options will rank equally in all aspects with all existing fully paid ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

Shares issued on conversion of the Babarczy Performance Rights will rank

The Company relies on exception 12 of ASX Listing Rule 10.12 as the proposed issue of the above securities is made pursuant to the terms of Mr Babarczy’s engagement as a Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Company, being an agreement between the Company and Mr Babarczy who would not otherwise be a related party of the Company but for the fact that he believed that he was likely to become a related party in the future because of this agreement. Accordingly, the Company is not required to seek Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the proposed issue of securities to Mr Babarczy.

However, as Mr Babarczy agreed for the grants to be made subject to Shareholder approval being obtained (despite ASX Listing Rule 10.11 not being triggered), Resolutions 7 and 8 seeks this approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 only.

The effect of Resolution 7 and 8 is for Shareholders to approve the issue of the Babarczy Options and Babarczy Performance Rights to fall within an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which will allow the Company to issue these without using the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 7 and 8 are not passed, and the Company proceeds with the issue, the Babarczy Options and the Babarczy Performance Rights will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date on which the Babarczy Options and the Babarczy Performance Rights are issued.

The Company’s current constitution was adopted by the Company following receipt of Shareholder approval on 17 July 2017.

Effective from 1 December 2019, the ASX implemented changes to the escrow regime for restricted securities. The update to ASX Listing Rule 15.12 which requires a listed entity’s constitution to contain certain provisions so long as an entity has “restricted securities” (as defined by the Listing Rules) on issue. These proposed amendments (if approved) provide the constitutional underpinning for ASX’s modified escrow regime.

Accordingly, the Company has prepared an updated Constitution ( New Constitution ) which incorporates the following key amendments:
