EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.digitalx.com/investor/centre.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of 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 a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2
Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) 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 of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
6
2916-08/2773478_7
2.3 Previous voting results
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.
3. RESOLUTION 2– ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – GREG DOOLEY
3.1 General
The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.
Pursuant to the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
3.3 Independence
Greg Dooley has no interests, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interest of the Company as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party.
If elected the Board considers Greg Dooley will be an independent Director.
3.4 Other material information
The Company conducts appropriate checks on the background and experience of candidates before their appointment to the Board. These include checks as to a person’s experience, educational qualifications, character, criminal record and bankruptcy history. The Company undertook such checks prior to the appointment of Greg Dooley.
Mr Dooley has confirmed that he considers he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and does not consider that any other commitment will interfere with his availability to perform his duties as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
3.5 Board recommendation
The Board has reviewed Mr Dooley’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that his skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the election of Mr Greg Dooley and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

2916-08/2773478_7
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
4.1 General
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.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
As at the date of this Notice, 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 $59,174,052 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 14 October 2021.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum price
8
2916-08/2773478_7
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 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 by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 4.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for working capital and growth of its existing business, which may include new acquisitions, investments into its current funds and expenditure on the promotion of its existing regtech products.
(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 14 October 2021.
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 7.1A Mandate.

$5,917,405 | $11,834,810 | $17,752,216 |
*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 prorata 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:
-
There are currently 739,675,657 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 14 October 2021 being $0.08.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
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.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
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 as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, 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.
-
(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate
10
2916-08/2773478_7
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate 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 7.1A Mandate, 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, share purchase plan, placement 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).
-
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 26 November 2020 ( Previous Approval ).
During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company issued 61,920,868 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval ( Previous Issue )], which represent approximately 9.46% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company 12 months prior to the Meeting.
Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.2 during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out below.

Notes:
-

This is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.
4.3 Voting Exclusion Statement
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and the Company has not agreed to issue any securities that have not yet been issued. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.

5.1 General
On 4 March 2021, the Company announced that it had secured commitments to raise approximately $8.8 million ( Placement ), with the Shares and Warrants issued pursuant to the Placement subsequently issued on 9 March 2021. Resolutions 4 and 5 relate to the ratification of the securities issued pursuant to the Placement. Resolution 6 relates to the ratification of Warrants issued to the HC Wainwright & Co ( Lead Manager ), for acting as lead manager of the Placement.
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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company’s ability to continue to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 3 being passed at this Meeting.
The issue of the Shares and Warrants related to the Placement does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule
12
2916-08/2773478_7
7.1 and additional 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 date of issue of the securities under the Placement.
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 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 such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the securities under the Placement, including the issue of Warrants to the Lead Manager.
5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If all of Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed, the Shares and Warrants will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares. None of these issues breached the Listing Rules when they were issued.
If any or all of Resolutions 4 to 6 are not passed, the Shares and Warrants will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement securities.
Resolutions 4 to 6 seeks ratification of individual issues and are therefore not dependent on one another.
It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 3 being passed at this Meeting.
5.3 Technical information required by for Resolutions 4 and 5

6. RESOLUTION 7 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO GREG DOOLEY
6.1 General
As announced on 3 August 2021, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 2,500,000 Options ( Options ) to Greg Dooley (or their nominee) as part of his agreeing to become a Director of the Company and on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options to Mr Dooley (or their nominee). Resolution 7 is subject to the passing of Resolution 2, relating to the re-election of Mr Dooley as a Director.
6.2
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of Options to Mr Dooley (or their nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Dooley is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Dooley who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Options because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Dooley, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis given Mr Dooley was not a director at the time this issue was agreed.
6.3
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 a related party unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
15
2916-08/2773478_7
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to Mr Dooley within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options and the Board may need to re-negotiate with Mr Dooley his remuneration to make up for the loss of the Options that had been agreed to be issued to him prior to his appointment.
6.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:
-
(a) the Options will be issued to Mr Greg Dooley (or their nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as he is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;
-
(b) the maximum number of Options to be issued is 2,500,000;
-
(c) the terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 3;
-
(d) the Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Mr Dooley to motivate and reward their performance as a Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to him, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Dooley;
-
(g) the current total remuneration package for Mr Dooley is $50,000 plus superannuation. If the Options are issued, the total remuneration package of Mr Dooley will increase by $65,000 to $115,000, being the value of the Options (based on the Black-Scholes methodology); and
-
(h) the Options are being issued as part of the agreement pursuant to which Mr Dooley was appointed as a Director.
