EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Purpose of Information

This Explanatory Statement (“ Statement ”) accompanies and forms part of the Company’s Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of De.mem Limited (the “ Notice ”) which will be held at will be held virtually via a webinar conferencing facility at 4.00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 28 September 2022. (“ Extraordinary General Meeting ” or “ Meeting ”).

The Notice incorporates, and should be read together, with this Statement.

Background to Resolutions 1 to 2

In April 2022, the Company executed a Letter of Engagement (“ Letter of Engagement ”) for corporate advisory services with Blue Ocean Equities Pty Limited (“ Blue Ocean ”).

Pursuant to the Letter of Engagement the Company agreed to pay Blue Ocean (or its nominee) a fee of 2,000,000 unlisted options (“ Blue Ocean Options ”) to be issued in equal tranches of 500,000 per quarter. The main features of the Blue Ocean Options are:

  • Vest immediately upon issue;

  • exercise price of $0.2795 (27.95 cents);

  • expire 3 years from their issue date;

  • Each Blue Ocean Option, upon exercise, entitles the holder to apply for, and be allotted, one Ordinary Share in the capital of the Company.

Details of the terms and conditions of the Blue Ocean Options are set out in Annexure A.

On each of 3 June 2022 and 3 August 2022 the Company issued 500,000 Blue Ocean Options (“ Issued Blue Ocean Options ”) to Blue Ocean’s nominee in accordance with the Letter of Engagement.

At that date of this Notice there remain 1,000,000 Blue Ocean Options, to be issued in two quarterly tranches, each of 500,000 options (“ Proposed Blue Ocean Options ”), which are still to be issued in accordance with the Letter of Engagement.

Resolution 1: Ratification of Prior Issue of 1,000,000 Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.4

As described in the background information above, on 3 June 2022 and 3 August 2022 (each an “ Issue Date ”), the Company issued the Issued Blue Ocean Options. The Company seeks subsequent approval of these issues from shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

ASX Listing Rules Requirements – Listing Rule 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue new securities up to 15% of the existing capital of the Company in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders, excluding any issues that are subject to one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. The issues of the Issued Blue Ocean Options were within the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and did not fit within any of the Listing Rule 7.2 exceptions.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 an issue of securities will be treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time and shareholders subsequently approve it. As the issues of the Issued Blue Ocean Options were within the Company's ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity, and were not previously approved by Shareholders, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issues pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, to refresh its capacity to make further issues without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is approved, the prior issue of 1,000,000 Issued Blue Ocean Options may be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company will therefore have the flexibility, if required, to issue additional equity securities without the 1,000,000 options counting towards the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Dates.

7

If this Resolution is not approved, the prior issue of 1,000,000 Issued Blue Ocean Options will not be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company will therefore have the 1,000,000 Issued Blue Ocean Options as counting towards use of the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This will limit the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12month period following the Issue Dates.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

  • a) the Issued Blue Ocean Options were issued to a nominee of Blue Ocean in accordance with the Letter of Engagement. There were no participants in the issue of the Issued Blue Ocean Options that were investors required to be disclosed under ASX Guidance Note 21;

  • b) the number and class of securities issued was 1,000,000 unlisted options in the Company;

  • c) a summary of the material terms of the securities is set out above in “Background to Resolutions 1 to 2” and terms and conditions are set out in Annexure A;

  • d) 500,000 Issued Blue Ocean Options were issued on 3 June 2022 and 500,000 Issued Blue Ocean Options were issued 3 August 2022;

  • e) there were no funds raised from the issue of Issued Blue Ocean Options, as these options were issued as part consideration for corporate advisory services provided to the Company;

  • f) the purpose of the issue of the Issued Blue Ocean Options was that they were issued as part consideration for corporate advisory services provided to the Company. There were no funds raised from the issue of the Issued Blue Ocean Options, as these options were issued as non-cash consideration for services provided. However, if all these options were exercised, the Company would receive $279,500 being the number of the options multiplied by their exercise price;

  • g) the Issued Blue Ocean Options were issued under the Letter of Engagement, the material terms of which are that Blue Ocean shall provide corporate advisory services to the Company for a period of 12 months.

Voting Exclusions

A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 1 is set out on Note 5 of this Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2: Resolution 2: Approval of Issue of 1,000,000 Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

As described in the background information above, the Company has entered into an agreement to issue the Proposed Blue Ocean Options (the “ Proposed Issue "). The Company seeks approval of these issues from shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rules Requirements –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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The Issue does not fit within any of these exceptions. While the Issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking shareholders to approve the Proposed Issue under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Therefore, Resolution 2 seeks the required shareholder approval to the Proposed Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

8

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Proposed Issues can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Proposed Issue can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder/unitholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the dates of the Proposed Issue.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1:

  • a) the Proposed Blue Ocean Options are to be issued to Blue Ocean (or its nominee);

  • b) the number and class of securities issued was 1,000,000 unlisted options in the Company;

  • c) a summary of the material terms of the securities is set out above in “Background to Resolutions 1 to 2” and terms and conditions are set out in Annexure A;

  • d) the Proposed Blue Ocean Options shall be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting;

  • e) there are no funds to be raised from the issue of the Proposed Blue Ocean Options, as these options are to be issued as part consideration for corporate advisory services provided to the Company;

  • f) the purpose of the Proposed Issue is to issue the Proposed Blue Ocean Options as part consideration for corporate advisory services provided to the Company. There will be no funds raised from the issue of the Proposed Blue Ocean Options, as these options are to be issued as non-cash consideration for services provided. However, if all these options were exercised, the Company would receive $279,500 being the number of the options multiplied by their exercise price;

  • g) the Proposed Blue Ocean Options are to be issued under the Letter of Engagement, the material terms of which are that Blue Ocean shall provide corporate advisory services to the Company for a period of 12 months

Voting Exclusions

A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 2 is set out on Note 5 of this Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3: Ratification of Prior Issue of 500,000 Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.4

On 27 June 2022 (“ Issue Date ”), the Company issued 500,000 unlisted options (“ Sign-On Options ”) to Mr Daniel Conlon, a Non-Executive Director of the Company as sign on options, which was a condition of his accepting appointment as non-executive director. Exception 12 in Listing Rule 10.12 applied to issue of the Sign-On Options.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholders ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of those unlisted options.

Terms of Options

The unlisted options have an exercise price $0.2237 (22.37 cents) per option, vested immediately and expire on 23 June 2025.

A summary of the key terms of the unlisted options proposed to be issued is set out in Annexure B of this Explanatory Memorandum.

ASX Listing Rules Requirements

ASX Listing Rules 7.1 allows the Company to issue new securities up to 15% of the existing capital of the Company in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders, excluding any issues that are subject to one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. The issue of the Sign-On Options was within the

9

Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and did not fit within any of the Listing Rule 7.2 exceptions.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 an issue of securities will be treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time and shareholders subsequently approve it. As the issue of the Sign-On Options was within the Company's ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity, and was not previously approved by Shareholders, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, to refresh its capacity to make further issues without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is approved, the prior issue of 500,000 the Sign-On Options may be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company will therefore have the flexibility, if required, to issue additional equity securities without the 500,000 options counting towards the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

If this Resolution is not approved, the prior issue of 500,000 the Sign-On Options will not be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company will therefore have the 500,000 the Sign-On Options as counting towards the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This will limit the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

  • a) the Sign-On Options were issued to Mr Daniel Conlon;

  • b) the number and class of securities issued was 500,000 unlisted options in the Company;

  • c) a summary of the material terms of the securities is set out above in “Terms of Options” and terms and conditions are set out in Annexure B;

  • d) the Sign-On Options were issued on 27 June 2022;

  • e) there were no funds raised from the issue of the Sign-On Options, as these options were issued as consideration for Mr Conlon accepting appointment as a Non-Executive Director of the Company;

  • f) the purpose of the issue was to issue unlisted options to Mr Daniel Conlon as sign on options, the issue of which was a condition of Mr Conlon accepting appointment as a Non-Executive director of the Company. There were no funds raised from the issue of the Sign-On Options, as these options were issued as non-cash sign on options. However, if all these options were exercised, the Company will receive $139,750 being the number of the options multiplied by their exercise price;

  • g) the Sign-On Options were issued under a Non-Executive Director appointment agreement between the Company and Mr Daniel Conlon, the material terms of which are standard terms of an agreement of this type.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that, for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, that company must obtain the approval of the public company’s members, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in the sections 201 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Sign-On Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Conlon is a related party of the Company by a virtue of being a proposed director at the time the agreement to issue the financial benefit was made.

The Board has formed the view that the issue of the Sign-On Options to Mr Conlon does not require Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act as the issue constitutes “reasonable remuneration” in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act, as the issue of such options is common market practice for public companies and the terms and conditions of the Sign-On Options are similar to options previously issued to other Non-Executive Directors of the Company.

Voting Exclusions

A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 3 is set out on Note 5 of this Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

Background to Resolutions 4 to 6

On 28 July 2022, the Company announced that it was undertaking a capital raising to raise up to approximately $3m (before costs) by way of a share placement via issues of 21,411,644 fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) at an issue price of $0.14 (14 cents) per share ( Placement ).

The issue of 20,197,358 Shares was completed on 3 August 2022 under the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company is seeking ratification of this issue under Resolution 4.

The issue of the remaining 1,214,286 Shares is proposed to be made to New Asia Investments Pte Ltd, an entity that falls within Listing Rule 10.11.3, and therefore requires shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. The Company is seeking ratification of this issue under Resolution 6.

The Placement was joint lead managed by Blue Ocean Equities Pty Ltd and Bell Potter Securities Ltd (each a “ Joint Lead Manager ” or “ JLM ”). Each JLM, or their nominee(s), was issued 1,000,000 unlisted options in the Company (“ JLM Options ”) as part consideration for their capital raising services provided. The main features of the JLM Options are:

  • vest immediately upon issue;

  • exercise price of $0.182 (18.2 cents);

  • expire 2 August 2025; and

  • each JLM Option, upon exercise, entitles the holder to apply for, and be allotted, one Share in the capital of the Company.

The issue of 2,000,000 JLM Options was completed on 3 August 2022 from the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company is seeking ratification of this issue under Resolution 5.

Resolution 4: Ratification of Prior Issue of 20,197,358 Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.4

As described in the “Background to Resolutions 4 to 6” section above, the Company is seeking shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue on 3 August 2022 ( Issue Date ) of 20,197,358 fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) at an issue price of $0.14 (14 cents) per Share.

ASX Listing Rules Requirements – Listing Rule 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue new securities up to 15% of the existing capital of the Company in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders, excluding any issues that are subject to one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. The issue of the Shares was within the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and did not fit within any of the Listing Rule 7.2 exceptions.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 an issue of securities will be treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time and shareholders subsequently approve it. As the issue of Shares was within the Company's ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity, and was not previously approved by Shareholders, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, to refresh its capacity to make further issues without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is approved, the prior issue of 20,197,358 Shares may be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company will therefore have the flexibility, if required, to issue additional equity securities without the 387,958 Shares counting towards the 15%

11

threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

If this Resolution is not approved, the prior issue of 20,197,358 Shares will not be treated by the Company as having been made with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company will therefore have the 20,197,358 Shares as counting towards the 15% threshold for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This will limit the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

  • (a) the shares were allotted and issued to institutional and sophisticated investors introduced to the Company by the JLMs or via existing relationships with the Company. The following participant in the Issue is required to be disclosed pursuant to ASX Guidance Note 21: Perennial Value Management Limited;

  • (b) the number and class of securities issued was 20,197,358 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company;

  • (c) the Shares were issued on 3 August 2022;

  • (d) the Shares were issued for cash at an issue price of $0.14 (14 cents) per Share. The Company raised $2,827,630.12 cash (before costs of the issue) from the issue of the Shares;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue was to raise funds to be used for: the acquisition of the remaining 25% in De.mem-Geutec GmbH; costs of additional Build, Own, Operate project opportunities; future acquisitions and general working capital; and offer costs.

ASX Listing Rules 7.1 allows the Company to issue new securities up to 15% of the existing capital of the Company in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders, excluding any issues that are subject to one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 applying.

As the issue of the JLM Options was within the Company's ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity, and was not previously approved by Shareholders, the Company now seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh its capacity to make further issues without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1

12

Resolutions 6: Approval of Issue of 1,214,286 Shares under ASX Listing Rule 10.11

As described in the “Background to Resolutions 4 to 6” section above, the Company is proposing to issue 1,214,286 Shares at an issue price of $0.14 (14 cents) per share, as part of the Placement, to New Asia Investments Pte Ltd (the “ Issue ”).

ASX Listing Rules Requirements – Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in 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

13

the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 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 ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.3 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. The Issue therefore requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 6 seeks the required shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Issue and will receive $170,000 in cash from the issue of 1,214,286 Shares.

  • a) the Shares are to be issued to New Asia Investment Pte Ltd (“ NIA ");

  • b) NIA falls within Listing Rule 10.11.3 as within the previous 6 months before the Issue, NIA is a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and has nominated a director to the board of the Company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives it a right or expectation to do so;

Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that individual or body corporate in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

DEFAULT TO CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote those proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chairman of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Form.

VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares 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 shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

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 and return them both together.
