3. Annual Report
In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report, including the Financial Report, the Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2016.

4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.
In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
Part 2G.2, Division 9 of the Corporations Act provides Shareholders with the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the managing director if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings.
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2015 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting (2016 annual general meeting), Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2017 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered
Page 7
to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.
5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Steve Bajic
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer.
Article 6.3 of the Constitution provides that:
-
(i) 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 (rounded upwards in case of doubt), 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;
-
(ii) The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots;
-
(iii) A Director who retires by rotation under Article 6.3 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election; and
-
(iv) In determining the number of Directors to retire, no account is to be taken of:
-
(A) a Director who only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to Article 6.2 of the Constitution; and/ or
-
(B) a Managing Director,
each of whom are exempt from retirement by rotation. However, if more than one Managing Director has been appointed by the Directors, only one of them (nominated by the Directors) is entitled to be excluded from any determination of the number of Directors to retire and/or retirement by rotation.
The Company currently has five (5) Directors, excluding the Managing Director, who is not subject to re-election and excluding Mr Krongold, who was appointed as a Director during the year and is subject to re-election pursuant to Resolution 3. Accordingly one (1) of the remaining three (3) Directors must retire pursuant to the director rotation provisions.
As all current Directors, apart from Mr Krongold, were appointed on 31 October 2016, they have agreed that Mr Steve Bajic will retire by rotation and seek re-election.
The Board (excluding Mr Bajic) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
Page 8
6. Resolution 3 – Re-election of Director – Ashley Krongold
Article 6.2(b) of 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 Article 6.3(j) of the Constitution, any Director so appointed must retire at the next annual general meeting of the Company and is then eligible for election by Shareholders under Article 6.2(c) of the Constitution.
On 31 October 2016, Mr Ashley Krongold was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of
the Company.
Accordingly, Mr Krongold resigns as a Director at this annual general meeting and, being eligible, seeks approval to be re-elected as a Director under Resolution 3.
Mr Krongold, B Com, has spent 15 years in the Investment Banking and Accounting industries. He was a founding member of Investec Bank Australia and is currently CEO of the Krongold Group and a non-executive director of Weebit Nano Ltd (ASX: WBT). He is also a founding General Partner of global equity crowd-funding platform, OurCrowd.
The Board (excluding Mr Krongold) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
7. Resolution 4 – Approval of appointment of Auditor
The Board has been satisfied with the services of Ernst & Young as auditor of the Company and thanks Ernst & Young for these services. However, following the Company's acquisition of Dotz Nano Ltd (Israel), the Board decided to align the Company's auditor with that of its operating subsidiary.
As a consequence, the Company requested Ernst & Young apply to ASIC under subsection 329(5) of the Corporations Act for consent to resign as auditor of the Company. Following ASIC approval of Ernst & Young's resignation, the Board appointed BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd as auditor of the Company under section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act.
Under section 327C(2), any auditor appointed under section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act holds office until the company's next annual general meeting. The Company must therefore appoint an auditor of the Company to fill the vacancy in the office of auditor at this annual general meeting pursuant to section 327B of the Corporations Act.
In accordance with section 328B of the Corporations Act, the Company has received written notice of nomination from a member of the Company for BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd to be appointed as the Company's auditor. A copy of the notice of nomination is attached to this Explanatory Memorandum as Annexure A.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd has given its written consent to act as the Company's auditor (subject to shareholder approval).
Page 9
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution.
The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
8. Resolution 5 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
8.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 8.2(c) below).
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
8.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities, Shares.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Page 10
(A x D) – E
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
-
(D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that "A" has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
-
D is 10%.
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 109,984,802 Shares and has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 16,497,720 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 10,998,480 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A (subject to Shareholder approval being sought under this Resolution 5).
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section (c)).
(e)
Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same 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; or
Page 11
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( 10% Placement Period ).
8.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
8.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:
- (a) Minimum issue price
The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities 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; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
If the Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, then, in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market that demonstrates that the issue price of the securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
(b) Risk of economic and voting dilution
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares). There is a risk that:
- (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
Page 12
- (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows:
-
(iii) the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice;
-
(iv) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
-
(v) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

- 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 has been prepared on the following assumptions:
Page 13
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
No convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
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 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The issue price is $0.24 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 18 April 2017.
(c) Final date for issue
The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.
(d) Purposes of issues under 10% Placement Facility
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), the development, manufacture and commercialisation of the Company's technology and/or general working capital; or
-
(ii) non-cash consideration for supplier payments or the acquisition of new projects, assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required under Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e) Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
Page 14
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new projects, assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new projects, assets or investments.
(f) Issues in the past 12 months
The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(g) Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
