EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement sets out the information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether to pass the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUES OF SHARES & OPTIONS
Information in relation to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a limited number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the total number of fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that 12-month period.
As none of the issues of Shares and Options the subject of Resolutions 1 to 4 fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as none of them have been approved or ratified by Shareholders, they effectively use up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, thereby reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under that rule for the 12 months following the issue date.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the relevant issue of securities is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 (and Listing Rule 7.1A, if applicable) such that it does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for any such future issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To that end, Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) seek Shareholder ratification of the issue of Shares and Options the subject of these Resolutions for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, the issues of equity securities the subject of these Resolutions will be excluded from calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the relevant issue date.
If Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are not passed, the issues of equity securities the subject of these Resolutions will be included in the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the date of issue.
Background to Resolution 1
As disclosed to ASX on 10 November 2025, the Company issued a total of 2,410,482 Shares to Mr Patrick O'Reilly, Mr John Legittino and Mr Jeffrey Randle in consideration (and in lieu of a $759,301.83 cash consulting fee) for the provision of marketing and communication services.
As the Shares the subject of this Resolution were issued for nil cash consideration, no funds were raised by the Company.
The Shares the subject of this Resolution were issued out of the Company's then available Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.
For further information please see the ASX-prescribed disclosures set out below or the Company's ASX release dated 10 November 2025.

| Exercise Notice | The holder of Broker Options may exercise their Broker Options by delivering to the Company, at any time on or before the Expiry Date: • a written notice of exercise (in the form provided by the Company) specifying the number of Broker Options being exercised; and • evidence of an electronic funds transfer having been made for the Exercise Price for each Broker Option being exercised. |
| Reorganisation | In the event of a reorganisation of the Company's share capital, the Broker Options will be reorganised in accordance with the specific requirements of the Listing Rules. |
| Quotation | The Company will not apply for quotation of the Broker Options. However, the Company will, within the time required by the Listing Rules, apply for quotation of any Shares issued on the exercise of any Broker Options. |
| Participation in future issues |
A Broker Option does not entitle its holder to participate in any new issue of securities in the Company unless the Broker Option is exercised and Shares issued before the record date for determining entitlements to that new issue. |
| Pro Rata Issues | If the Company makes a pro rata issue of Shares or other securities (except a bonus issue) to existing Shareholders and no Share has been issued in respect of the Broker Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the proposed pro rata issue, the exercise price of each Broker Option is to be reduced in accordance with the Listing Rules. |
| Bonus Issues | If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to its Shareholders and no Share has been issued in respect of the Broker Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the proposed bonus issue, the number of Shares over which the Broker Option is exercisable is increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the Broker Options would have received had the holder exercised some or all of their Broker Options before the relevant record date. |
