De.mem Limited ACN 614 756 642

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at Ground Floor, 16 Ord Street, West Perth WA 6005 commencing at 3.00pm (AWST) on Tuesday, 28 May 2019.

This Explanatory Statement is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice and the reasons for the Resolutions proposed.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 together with the declaration of the directors, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report.

In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act, the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. These amendments may result in reducing the Company’s printing costs.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company annual financial report on its website at http://www.demembranes.com/.

2. RESOLUTION 1 ~ ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT (NON-BINDING)

In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put a resolution that the Remuneration Report as set out in the Directors’ Report of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 2018 be adopted to vote at the Annual General Meeting. The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2018.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting, if at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to a vote.

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the Directors who were in office when the Directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

De.mem Limited ACN 614 756 642

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this annual general meeting.

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

3. RESOLUTION 2 ~ RE-ELECTION OF MR BERND DAUTEL AS A DIRECTOR

Clause 11.2 of the Constitution of the Company requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

Mr Dautel retires by rotation at this Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, seeks reelection.

A biography for Mr Dautel is set out below.

Mr Dautel has been a Venture Capital expert with New Asia Investments Pte Ltd in Singapore since 2012. In this function, he managed investments into companies from the chemicals and electronics sectors.

He built the company’s business in the Asia/Pacific region from the early stage to approximately 400 million in annual revenues over 20 years, with operations in Singapore, China, India and many other countries in the Asia/Pacific region.

The Board (excluding Mr Dautel) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 ~ RE-ELECTION OF MR MICHAEL EDWARDS AS A DIRECTOR

Clause 11.2 of the Constitution of the Company requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

Mr Edwards retires by rotation at this Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election.

A biography for Mr Edwards is set out below.

De.mem Limited ACN 614 756 642

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Board (excluding Mr Edwards) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 ~ RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES

On 4 April 2019, the Company completed a placement raising $300,000 issuing 2,222,222 Shares at $0.135 per share (“ Placement ”). Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the Placement pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

Listing Rule 7.4

ASX 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.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that when a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue made pursuant to the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying these previous issues, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) 2,222,222 Shares were issued;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at a $0.135 per Share;

  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to sophisticated or otherwise exempt investors, who are not related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) funds raised is for working capital.

6. RESOLUTION 5 ~ APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (defined below) may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 7.1 below).

De.mem Limited ACN 614 756 642

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.

6.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

( Eligible Entity ).

The Company currently has 123,802,956 Shares on issue and the last recorded closing price of the Shares on 11 April 2019 was $0.14. The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $17,332,413.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: DEM).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

1. (A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:

  • A. plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • B. plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • C. plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • D. less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

D is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that

De.mem Limited ACN 614 756 642

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 5:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in Section 7.2(a)(i) the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

( 10% Placement Capacity Period )

(c) Risk of Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table on the following page.

The table shows the economic and dilution effect that an issue of the 10% Placement Capacity will have on existing Shareholders, calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 11 April 2019.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

* The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 123,802,956 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 11 April 2019. 3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  3. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercisable into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  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 ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The calculations above 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.

  6. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  7. 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 at 10%.

  8. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use any funds raised towards the continued development of the

De.mem Limited ACN 614 756 642

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Company’s nanofiltration membrane technology, sales & marketing expenses, general operational expenses and working capital.

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new projects, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new projects, assets or investments.

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A on 29 May 2018.

The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

1. Your Name and Address This is your name and address as it appears on the Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please Contact the Share register on 1300 554 474 (toll free) . Security holders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note, you cannot change ownership of your securities using this form.

2. Appointment of a Proxy

If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting please write the name of that person. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a security holder of the Company.

3. Votes on Items of Business You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may, subject to the comments below, vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Annual General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • (a) if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • (b) any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chairman, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • (a) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • (b) if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • (c) if the proxy is the Chairman of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • (d) if the proxy is not the Chairman – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-Chairman proxy to Chairman in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • (a) an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • (b) the appointed proxy is not the Chairman of the meeting; and

  • (c) at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • (d) either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

  • the Chairman of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

4. Appointment of a Second Proxy 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 the Company’s share registry or you may copy this form.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of securities 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.

  • (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

5. Signing Instructions

You must sign this form as follows in the spaces provided:

Individual: where the holding is in one name, the holder must sign.

Joint Holding: where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign. Power of Attorney: to sign under Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged this document with the registry. If you have not previously lodged this document for notation, please attach 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) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

6. Attending the Meeting

Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for the member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.

If a representative of the corporation is to attend the Meeting the appropriate "Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative" should be produced prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from the Company's share registry.

Lodgement of a Proxy

This Proxy Form (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received at the address given below not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting scheduled for 3.00pm (AWST) on Tuesday, 28 May 2019. Any Proxy Form received after that time (3.00pm (AWST) 26 May 2019) will not be valid for the scheduled Meeting.
