EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 - REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of its shareholders.

Resolution 1 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares updated to ensure it appropriately reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to simply replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.

The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the differences between the Constitution and the Proposed Constitution are administrative or minor in nature including but not limited to:

  • updating the name of the Company;

  • updating now redundant references to the "ASTC Settlement Rules"; and

  • adding other provisions now required by the ASX Listing Rules.

The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any adverse impacts on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Statement, however a summary of the key provisions of the Proposed Constitution is attached to this Explanatory Statement at Schedule 1.

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution will also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 2 9375 2353). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 1.

The Chair will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – CONSOLIDATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to consolidate the Company's issued Share capital through the conversion of every 25 Shares into 1 Share ( Share Consolidation ).

The Company has approximately 8,831,078,076 Shares on issue with a share price immediately prior to the date of finalising this Notice of approximately $0.004 per Share. This is a disproportionately large number of shares to share price ratio.

8

The Directors consider it more appropriate to have a smaller number of Shares on issue and a correspondingly higher Share price. The Directors also consider that the Share Consolidation will result in a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company and potentially a Share price more appealing to a wider range of investors, particularly institutional investors, globally.

Although the Share Consolidation should have no impact on the underlying value of the Company, Shareholders should appreciate that the value of the Company's Shares on ASX (and in turn the Company's market capitalisation) post-Share Consolidation is subject to a range of factors beyond the control of the Company. Shareholders should also appreciate that share consolidations are a matter of personal preference, and that not everyone is keen on them.

Regulatory requirements

Section 254H(1) of the Corporations Act allows the Company to convert all or any of its Shares into a larger or smaller number of Shares provided that an ordinary resolution in relation to the proposed conversion is passed by Shareholders at a general meeting. Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.20, the information below is provided in relation to this resolution:

(a) Impact on capital structure

(i) Shares

If Resolution 2 is approved, every 25 Shares on issue will be consolidated into 1 Share (subject to the effects of rounding). Overall, this will result in the number of Shares on issue reducing from 8,831,078,076 to approximately 353,243,123[1] (subject to rounding).

As the Share Consolidation applies equally to all Shareholders, individual Shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of Shares is reduced (subject to rounding). Accordingly, assuming no other market movements or impacts occur, the Share Consolidation will have no effect on the percentage interest in the Company of each Shareholder or of the value of their Shareholding.

The Share Consolidation will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of existing Shareholders.

(ii) Options

As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has a total of 742,620,684 unlisted Options with various exercise prices and expiry dates on issue[2] . If the Share Consolidation is approved, all of these Options will be reorganised in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.22.1 such that all of these Options will be consolidated in the same ratio as the

1 This number excludes the Shares the subject of Resolution 5 and 6 proposed to be issued to Mr Lannen and Mr Baghdadi, respectively.

2 492,620,684 of these Options have an expiry date of 5pm (Sydney time) on 11 December 2024 and an exercise price of $0.00383, 150,000,000 of these Options have an expiry date of 5pm (Sydney time) on 28 February 2022 and an exercise price of $0.006 and 100,000,000 of these Options have an expiry date of 5pm (Sydney time) on 28 February 2023 and an exercise price of $0.008. All of these Options also have other conditions the satisfaction of which must occur prior to these Options being able to be exercised by the holder.

9

Share Consolidation and the exercise price of the Options will be amended in inverse proportion to that consolidation ratio.

For example, a holding of 100,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.10 each prior to the Share Consolidation would result in a holding of 4,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $2.50 each immediately after the Share Consolidation.

On completion of the Share Consolidation, if it is approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, the Company will have approximately 29,704,187 unlisted Options on issue as set out below:

Options Expiry Date Exercise Price
19,704,187 11 December 2024 $0.096
6,000,000 28 February 2022 $0.15
4,000,000 28 February 2023 $0.20

The Share Consolidation will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of existing holders of Options, for further details of which please see the Company's notice of meeting and explanatory statement in relation to the Company's 2020 annual general meeting given to ASX on 30 October 2020.

(b) Fractional Entitlements

Where the Share Consolidation (and associated consolidation of the Company's Options) results in an entitlement to a fraction of a Share or Option (as applicable), that fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares, or Options or zero, as applicable.

(c) Holding Statements

Taking effect from the date of the Share Consolidation, all existing holding statements will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of securities on a post-Share Consolidation basis. New holding statements will be issued to security holders, who are encouraged to check their holdings after the Share Consolidation.

(d) Taxation

The Share Consolidation should not result in a capital gains tax event for Australian tax residents. The cost base of the Shares held after the Share Consolidation will be the sum of the cost bases of the original Shares pre-Share Consolidation. The acquisition date of Shares held after the Share Consolidation will be the same as the date on which the original Shares were acquired. This Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement does not consider the tax implications in respect of Shares or other securities held on revenue account, as trading stock or by non-resident Shareholders. Shareholders should consider their own circumstances and seek their own professional advice in relation to their tax position. Neither the Company nor any of its officers or employees assumes any liability or responsibility for advising Shareholders or other security holders about the tax consequences of the proposed Share Consolidation.

10

(e) Indicative Timetable

If approved by Shareholders, the Share Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following indicative timetable (subject to change):

7. RESOLUTION 7 - NOVATION OF REPAYMENT OBLIGATION

As at 21 May 2021 (i.e. the date of the Meeting), the Company will owe SXX, the Company's largest Shareholder[6] (and second largest creditor), a total of approximately $1,217,521[7] .

Of the total amount the Company owes to SXX:

  • $122,014 relates to historical expenses paid by SXX for and on behalf of the Company (noting this particular amount owed to SXX is unsecured and interest free); and

  • $1,095,507 (i.e. the remainder of the amount owed to SXX), is owed to SXX pursuant to an unsecured loan which accrues interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum.

SXX has requested the Company agree to novating the debt to Mr Mark Johnson, the Company's Non-Executive Chairman, second largest Shareholder[8] and largest creditor as part of a broader restructuring and debt consolidation transaction. As such, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to permit the novation of the Company's obligation to repay SXX the total amount of $1,217,521 to Mr Johnson, such that the Company will owe, and be required to repay this total amount (subject to any necessary adjustments) to Mr Johnson, instead of to SXX.

The Company believes that it is appropriate to agree to the novation to consolidate the Company's debts to one lender (i.e. to Mr Johnson), instead of two lenders (i.e. both SXX and Mr Johnson). This will then allow the Company to convert the total amount owing and payable by the Company to Mr Johnson (which amount will total on completion of the novation the subject of Resolution 7, including any accrued but unpaid interest, approximately $3,853,552) into Convertible Notes (as to which, see Resolution 8 below).

Both SXX and Mr Johnson have agreed to the proposed novation the subject of this Resolution 7[9] . On completion of the proposed novation, SXX's debts to Mr Johnson will be reduced to approximately $1,000[10] .

Note : Resolutions 7 and 8 are inter-conditional Resolutions (meaning that the transaction the subject of this Resolution 7 will not proceed unless Resolution 8 is also passed (and vice versa) by Shareholders).

6 As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, SXX has a "relevant interest" (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) in a total of 2,460,165,022 Shares (equivalent to approximately 27.25% of the Company's total issued Share capital).

7 The Company's unreviewed report for the half year ended 31 December 2020 was given to ASX on 16 March 202 and is available at www.asx.com.au. Further information in relation to the amounts owing to SXX (as well as to Mr Johnson), is set out in notes 8 and 12 of the financial statements included in this half year report.

8 As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, Mr Johnson has a "relevant interest" (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) in a total of 1,676,570,415 Shares (equivalent to approximately 18.98% of the Company's total issued Share capital).

9 On or about 20 April 2021, the parties entered into a debt novation deed the primary purpose of which is to novate the sums owed by Dateline to SXX to Mr Johnson in consideration for the cancellation/extinguishment by Mr Johnson of certain loans owed to him by SXX.

10 This remaining debt may be reduced, subject to Mr Johnson's approval, by SXX transferring Shares that it holds to Mr Johnson (ie in satisfaction of that debt or a portion of that debt). Any changes to Mr Johnson's relevant interest in Shares will be notified to ASX as required by the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act.

18

The Directors (other than Mr Johnson) recommend that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 7.

The Chair will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

8. RESOLUTION 8 - ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES TO A RELATED PARTY

The Company is proposing, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue up to a maximum of 3,853,552 unsecured Convertible Notes to Mr Mark Johnson, a Director of the Company, in accordance with the convertible note subscription agreement entered into by the Company and Mr Johnson on or about 20 April 2021 ( Subscription Agreement ).

The consideration for the issuance the subject of this Resolution 8 is the cancellation/extinguishment by Mr Johnson's of all amounts owing by the Company to Mr Johnson (or his nominee) immediately after the completion of the debt novation the subject of Resolution 7[11] .

(a) ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

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 associated of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 or
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 the ASX's opinion,
the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of Convertible Notes to Mr Johnson (or his nominees) falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Mr Johnson is a 'related party' of the Company for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 given his position as Director of the Company.

11 The total amount owing to Mr Johnson following the novation the subject of Resolution 7 is estimated by the Company to be up to approximately $3,853,552 (including any accrued but unpaid interest (if any)).

19

(b) ASX Listing Rule 10.13

The specific disclosures required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13 in relation to this Resolution 8 are set out below:

10.13.9 The materials terms of the Convertible Notes Subscription Agreement
are summarised in Schedule 3 of the Explanatory Memorandum.
10.13.10 Please refer to the voting exclusion statement set out in the Notice.
Other If Shareholders do not approve this Resolution 8, the Convertible Notes
the subject of this Resolution 8 will not be issued to Mr Johnson and the
amounts owing by the Company to Mr Johnson will not be
cancelled/extinguished.

Note : Resolutions 7 and 8 are inter-conditional Resolutions (meaning that the transaction the subject of this Resolution 8 will not proceed unless Resolution 7 is also passed (and vice versa) by Shareholders).

The Directors (other than Mr Johnson) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 8.

The Chair will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 8.

12 The total amount owing to Mr Johnson following the novation the subject of Resolution 7 is estimated by the Company to be up to approximately $3,853,552 (including any accrued but unpaid interest (if any)).

Instructions for Completing 'Appointment of Proxy' Form

1.

( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

2.

( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

3. ( Signing instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  • ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  • (a) hand to the Company at Level 29, 2 Chifley Square Street Sydney; or

Schedule 1 - Summary of material provisions of Company's Proposed Constitution

Rights attaching to Shares

A summary of the material provisions of the Company's Proposed Constitution is detailed below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Proposed Constitution (a copy of which is available from the Company on request and free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.

(a) Issue of further Shares

The Board may, subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules issue, or grant options for, or otherwise dispose of, Shares in the Company on such terms as the Board decides.

(b)

Preference Shares

The Company may issue preference shares including preference shares which are, or at the option of the Company or a holder are, liable to be redeemed or convertible into Shares. The rights attaching to preference shares are those set out in Schedule 1 of the Constitution unless other rights have been decided by the Board under the terms of issue of any such preference shares.

(c) Classes of Shares

The procedure set out in the Constitution must be followed to vary any rights attaching to Shares (or any other class of shares). Under the Constitution, and subject to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and the terms of issue of a particular class of shares, the rights attaching to Shares (or any other class of shares) may be varied:

  • with the consent in writing of the holders of at least 75% of the issued shares of that class; or

  • by special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class.

(d) Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution and to any restrictions attaching to a Shareholder's Shares (including because of the imposition of ASX-imposed escrow), Shares may be transferred by:

  • a transfer effected in accordance with the ASX Settlement Operating Rules;

  • a written instrument of transfer in any form authorised by the Corporations Act; or

  • any other method of transfer permitted by the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rules.

(e) Refusing a transfer

Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the Directors may in their absolute discretion ask ASX Settlement to apply a holding lock to prevent a transfer under the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, or refuse to register a paper-based transfer, of a Share, where, amongst other things:

  • the Company is served with a court order that restricts the relevant Shareholder's

24

capacity to transfer the Shares or the Company has a lien on the Shares the subject of the transfer;

  • registration of the transfer may breach an applicable law and ASX has agreed in writing to the application of a holding lock or that the Company may refuse to register a transfer; or

  • the Shareholder has agreed in writing to the application of a holding lock or that the Company may refuse to register a paper-based transfer.

(f) Non-marketable parcels

In accordance with, and as permitted by the ASX Listing Rules, the Company may sell Shares that constitute less than a "marketable parcel" (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) by following the relevant sale of small holdings procedures set out in the Constitution.

(g) Meetings of members

Every Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

(h) Voting at a general meeting

At a general meeting of the Company, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy, representative or attorney and entitled to vote is entitled to one vote on a show of hands and, on a poll, one vote for each Share held by the Shareholder (with adjusted voting rights for partly paid shares). If the votes on a proposed resolution are equal, the chairperson of the meeting has a casting vote in addition to any deliberative vote.

(i) Directors - appointment and retirement

Under the Constitution, there must be at least 3 Directors, at least 2 of whom must ordinarily reside in Australia, or such greater number not exceeding 10 as the Directors think fit, in office at all times. Directors are elected, re-elected or removed at general meetings of the Company.

No Director (excluding the Managing Director) may hold office without re-election beyond the third annual general meeting following the meeting at which the Director was last elected or re-elected.

The Board may also appoint any eligible person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Directors, who will then hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following that eligible person's appointment.

(j) Directors - voting

Questions arising at a meeting of the Board will be decided by a majority of votes of the Directors present at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. If the votes are equal on a proposed resolution, the chairperson of the meeting does not have a second or casting vote in addition to the chairperson's deliberative vote. A written resolution is taken to have passed at a meeting of the Directors if the document containing the resolution is signed by all of the Directors entitled to vote on that resolution.

25

(k) Directors - remuneration

Under the Constitution, the Board may decide the remuneration to which each Director is entitled to be paid for his or her services as a Director provided the annual fees payable to Non-Executive Directors do not exceed in aggregate the maximum sum that is from time to time approved by Shareholders in a general meeting in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

Remuneration payable by the Company to the Managing Director (which Director's remuneration does not reduce the maximum sum that is available to be paid to NonExecutive Directors) and any other executive Directors may be by way of salary, bonuses, or any other elements but must not include a commission on, or percentage of operating revenue.

Directors are entitled to be paid or reimbursed for all travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending and returning from any meeting of the Directors, any meeting of any committee of the Directors, any general meeting of the Company or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company.

If, with the approval of the Directors, any Director performs extra services or makes any special exertions for the benefit of the Company, the Directors may approve the payment to that Director of special and additional remuneration as the Directors think fit, having regard to the value to the Company of the extra services or special exertions.

(l) Powers and duties of Directors

Subject to the Corporations Act and this Constitution, the Directors are responsible for managing the business of the Company and may exercise all powers of the Company which are not required to be exercised by the Company in a general meeting by the Corporations Act or this Constitution.

(m) Dividends

Subject to the Corporations Act and to any special rights or restrictions attached to any shares, the Directors may resolve to pay any dividend they think appropriate and to fix the time for payment.

Every dividend must be paid equally on all fully paid Shares and proportionately on all partly paid Shares. The Directors may also resolve that dividends are to be paid out of a particular source or sources.

(n) Winding up

If the Company is wound up, then subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and any rights or restrictions attached to any Share or classes of shares, Shareholders will be entitled to share in any surplus property of the Company in proportion to the number of Shares held by them. If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders all or part of the Company's property and decide how the division is to be carried out as between Shareholders or different classes of shareholder.

26

(o) Indemnity and insurance

The Company may indemnify each "officer" (as that term is defined in section 9 of the Corporations Act) of the Company on a full indemnity basis and to the full extent permitted by law against all losses, liabilities, costs, charges and expenses incurred by that person as an officer of the Company or of a related body corporate of the Company.

The Directors may also and to the full extent permitted by law, authorise the Company to enter into any documentary indemnity in favour of, or insurance policy for the benefit of, a person who is, or has been, an officer of the Company or of a related body corporate of the Company, which indemnity or insurance policy may be on such terms as the Directors approve.

(p) Restricted Securities

The Company must comply with and enforce any Restriction Deed (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) and/or the terms of any Restriction Notice (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) and enforce the Constitution to ensure compliance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules or ASX relating to Restricted Securities. During the escrow period applicable to Restricted Securities, the holder of those Restricted Securities must not dispose of, or agree or offer to dispose of, those Restricted Securities, except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX.
