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 nonexecutive Directors.
Page 12
Doc ID 726595163/v6
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.
If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).
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, if any) 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 2019 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting (2020 annual general meeting), Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2021 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.
5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Bernie Brookes AM
5.1 General
Article 7.3(c) of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must retire at each annual general meeting (or if that is not a whole number, the whole number nearest to one third, rounded down). Article 7.3(e) of the Constitution requires that the Directors to retire are those who have held their office as Director for the longest period since their last election or appointment to that office.
Article 7.3(f) of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires in accordance with Article 7.3(c) is eligible for re-election.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has three Directors and accordingly, one Director must retire.
Each of Non-Executive Chairman Mr Bernard Brookes AM and Non-Executive Director Doron Eldar were elected at the last general meeting held on 2 March 2020. Upon agreement between Mr Eldar and Mr Brookes, Mr Brookes retires by rotation at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election pursuant to Resolution 2.
Mr Brookes is considered by the Board to be an independent director.
Page 13
Doc ID 726595163/v6

The Board (other than Mr Brookes) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

On 26 November 2019, the Company announced that it would undertake a deferred placement in two tranches of up to $500,000 each, consisting of Shares and Options, to Australian-Israeli venture capital fund Southern Israel Bridging Fund Two, LP ( SIBF ).
The first tranche of securities, being 13,888,889 Shares and 4,629,630 Options to SIBF (or its nominees), were due to be issued to SIBF in April 2020, following approval of Shareholders on 2 March 2020. As at the date of this Notice, however, the funds have not yet been received from SIBF and no securities have been issued
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 13,888,889 Shares and 4,629,630 Options to SIBF (or its nominees), being the securities to be issued pursuant to the second tranche of the deferred placement, due to settle in August 2020.
The Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares.
The Options are free-attaching to the Shares and will be issued on the basis of 1 Option for every 3 Shares subscribed for. Each Option is exercisable at $0.09 each on or before the date which is 2 years from the date of issue. The full terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 2.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
6.2
Listing Rule 7.1
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.

Doc ID 726595163/v6
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares and Options during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed to issue the Shares and Options.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Shares and Options:
-
(a) a maximum number of 13,888,889 Shares and 4,629,630 Options are to be issued;
-
(b) the Shares and Options will be issued on or about 1 August 2020, and in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
(c) the issue price of the Shares is $0.036 each. The Options are free-attaching to the Shares and therefore will be issued at an issue price of nil;
-
(d) the Shares and Options will be issued to Southern Israel Bridging Fund Two, LP (or its nominees), none of whom are related parties of the Company;
-
(e) the Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue. Each Option, issuable on the basis of 1 Option for every 3 Shares subscribed for, is exercisable at $0.09 each on or before the date which is 2 years from the date of issue. The full terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 2;
-
(f) the Company intends to use the funds raised to fund the Company's commercialisation activities, to provide general working capital and to cover the associated costs of undertaking the issue; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
7. Resolution 4 – Ratification of prior issue of Options to Silverella
7.1
General
Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 5,833,337 Options to Silverella with an exercise price of $0.09 and expiry of 2 years from the date of issue in part consideration for providing strategic corporate and marketing services provided to the Company by Silverella pursuant to a consulting agreement dated 3 December 2019 ( Consulting Agreement ). These services are required to be provided to the Company during the period which commenced on 1 December 2019 until 30 November 2020.
Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement:
- (a) Silverella will report to the Managing Director and provide the following services to the Company:
Page 15
Doc ID 726595163/v6
-
(b) promote and raise the profile of the Company through the development of corporate strategy in order to introduce new business opportunities for the Company;
-
(c) work with the CEO and the Board to develop a corporate and marketing strategy and �ork �ith the Compan��s corporate ad�isors on the deli�er� of marketing material in Australia;
-
(d) advise the Company on customer presentations, trade shows and other events, and pitches to stakeholders and potential customers and partners within Australia;
-
(e) Silverella is entitled to be issued 2,500,000 Shares (at a deemed issue price of $0.04 per Share) and 10,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.09 and expiry of 2 years from the date of issue, subject to the Company having sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The 10,000,000 Options vest as follows:
-
(i) 25% vested immediately upon issue;
-
(ii) 25% vesting on 3 June 2020 (subject to the agreement remaining on foot);
-
(iii) 25% vesting on 3 December 2020 (subject to the agreement remaining on foot); and
-
(iv) 25% vesting on 3 June 2021 (subject to the agreement remaining on foot); and
-
(f) the Company may terminate the Consulting Agreement by one months' written notice.
The 2,500,000 Shares noted in paragraph (e) above were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 on 11 December 2019 and the issue was ratified by Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 on 2 March 2020. 4,166,663 of the Options noted in paragraph (e) were issued pursuant to Shareholder approval received on 11 September 2019, with the balance of 5,833,337 Options issued under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the balance of 5,833,337 Options to Silverella.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 6.2.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the 5,833,337 Options issued to Silverella will be included in the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of such Options (being 11 December 2019).
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

8. Resolution 5 – Cancellation of Shares issued to Mr Uzi Breier
8.1
General
On 7 May 2018, the Company appointed Mr Uzi Breier as CEO. As announced on 14 August 2018, pursuant to Mr Uzi Breier's executive services agreement with the Company, Mr Breier was, subject to shareholder approval, to receive 1,000,000 Shares on 31 December 2019 as a retention bonus, provided Mr Breier was still engaged by the Company at that time ( Breier Shares ).
Due to an administrative error, it was mistakenly believed that approval to issue the Breier Shares had been received from Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 at a general meeting of Shareholders on 8 February 2019, which was not the case. Accordingly, the issue of the Breier Shares on 31 December 2019 was done so without prior Shareholder approval and in breach of Listing Rule 10.11. Once the error became known, the Company immediately took action to enter into a holding lock deed with Mr Breier for a period from the date of the deed and ending on the date that the Company obtains the appropriate shareholder approval. This holding lock was also actioned by the Company's share registry shortly after execution of the deed and none of the Breier Shares were traded by Mr Breier prior to execution of the deed. The Company wishes to advise Shareholders that steps have now been taken to avoid such a breach re-occurring in the future.
Following discussions with ASX, the Company is seeking to remedy the breach by:
-
(a) seeking approval from Shareholders for a selective capital reduction to cancel the Breier Shares pursuant to sections 256B and 256C of the Corporations Act (being the subject of this Resolution 5); and
-
(b) seeking Shareholder approval to re-issue the 1,000,000 Shares to Mr Breier (or his nominees) pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 (being the subject of Resolution 6).
Page 17
Doc ID 726595163/v6
The Company notes that if the cancellation of the Breier Shares is not approved by Shareholders, Mr Breier will sell the Breier Shares with all proceeds to be provided to a charity of Mr Breier's choice.
As 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).
8.2 Sections 256B and 256C(2) of the Corporations Act
Section 256B of the Corporations Act provides that a company may reduce its share capital by cancelling the shares for no consideration if the reduction:
-
(a) is fair and reasonable to the company's shareholders;
-
(b) does not materially prejudice the company's ability to pay its creditors; and
-
(c) is approved by shareholders under section 256C of the Corporations Act.
To enable the Company to make the capital reduction by cancelling the Breier Shares, section 256C(2) of the Corporations Act requires a special resolution of the Shareholders passed at a general meeting as the capital reduction proposed for the Company is a selective reduction because the terms of the reduction will not be the same for all Shareholders; only the 1,000,000 Breier Shares will be cancelled.
The Directors (other than Mr Breier) believe the proposed capital reduction is fair and reasonable to Shareholders as a whole because the Breier Shares were inadvertently issued without Shareholder approval in contravention of Listing Rule 10.11. The Directors (other than Mr Breier) also believe that the proposed capital reduction will not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors as no consideration is being provided for the cancellation of the Breier Shares and, subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 6, the 1,000,000 Shares to be re-issued to Mr Breier (or his nominees) are to be issued for nil consideration (being the same consideration that the Breier Shares were previously issued for).
There is no information known to the Company that is material to the decision on how to vote on Resolution 5 other than what has been disclosed in this Notice.
In lieu of a separate meeting of Mr Breier for approval of a special resolution pursuant to section 256C(2) of the Corporations Act from Mr Breier (and his nominees), Mr Breier has provided his written approval to the Company for the cancellation of the Breier Shares and to the waiver of any applicable notice period.
Pursuant to the Corporations Act, the Company may cancel the Breier Shares 14 days after the lodgement of this Resolution (once it has been approved by Shareholders) with ASIC.
8.3
Board recommendation
The Board (other than Mr Breier) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

9. Resolution 6 – Issue of Shares to Mr Uzi Breier.
9.1
General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 1,000,000 Shares to Mr Uzi Breier to replace the Breier Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Resolution 5. Please refer to Section 8.1 for background regarding the basis for the Company issuing the 1,000,000 Shares ( New Breier Shares ).
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the New Breier Shares to Mr Uzi Breier (or his nominees).
Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.
- 9.2
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained, unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
Mr Breier is a related party of the Company by virtue of his position as a Director. As the issue of the New Breier Shares to Mr Breier (or his nominees) involves the issue of Shares to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of the New Breier Shares will not be included under the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
9.3
Specific 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 6:
-
(a) 1,000,000 Shares will be issued to Mr Uzi Breier (or his nominees);
-
(b) the New Breier Shares will be issued to Mr Breier (or his nominees), 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);
-
(c) the New Breier Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued as part of Mr Breier's remuneration package (as previously disclosed to ASX on 14 August 2018) and therefore no funds will be raised as a result of the issue;
-
(d) the New Breier Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
-
(e) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
Page 19
Doc ID 726595163/v6
9.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 Board (other than Mr Uzi Breier, who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the New Breier Shares, as the agreement to issue the Shares to Mr Breier (or his nominees), reached as part of his remuneration package, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on arm's length terms (having been negotiated prior to Mr Breier's appointment as CEO, in accordance with the material terms announced to ASX on 14 August 2018).
9.5
Board recommendation
The Board (other than Mr Uzi Breier, who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
The Chair will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.
10. Resolution 7 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
10.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity 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% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to provide the Company the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to 10.2(f) below). 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 10.2(c) below).
Resolution 7 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 Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
10.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
- (a) Is the Company an eligible entity?
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.
Page 20
Doc ID 726595163/v6
The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $14.9 million, based on the closing price of Shares $0.048 on 7 May 2020.
(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?
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.
As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities; Shares.
(c) How many Equity Securities can be issued?
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Facility, the Company may, during the Placement Period (see Section 10.2(f) below) issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
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 any issue of Shares under the Company's 15% annual placement capacity without Shareholder approval; and
-
(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 the Company's 15% annual 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 where the issue has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.
(d) What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?
The Company's ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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
Page 21
Doc ID 726595163/v6
in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 10.2(c)).
(e) At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?
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 by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,
( Minimum Issue Price ).
(f)
When can Equity Securities be issued?
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of Meeting and will expire on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) 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 ).
(g)
What is the effect of Resolution 7?
The effect of Resolution 7 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
10.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:
(a) Minimum issue price
If any Equity Securities are issued under the 10% Placement Facility, they will be issued for cash consideration only and the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price.
(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' economic and 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).
Page 22
Doc ID 726595163/v6
The below table shows:
-
(i) the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 10.2(c)) as at the date of the Notice ( Variable A );
-
(ii) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and
-
(iii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Notes :
-
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) the issue price is $0.048 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 7 May 2020, being the last day that the Company's Shares traded on the ASX before this Notice was printed;
-
(b) Variable A is 323,630,129, comprising:
-
(i) 309,741,240 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4;
-
(ii) A total of 1,000,000 Shares cancelled if Resolution 5 is passed at the Meeting; and
Page 23
Doc ID 726595163/v6
-
(iii) a total of 14,888,889 Shares issued if Resolution 3 and Resolution 6 are passed at the Meeting;
-
(c) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;
-
(d) 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; and
-
(e) 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 number of Shares on issue (i.e. Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.
-
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.
Shareholders should note that 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
-
(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.
(c) Final date for issue
The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period.
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid if Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
(d) Purposes of issued under 10% Placement Facility
The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:
Page 24
Doc ID 726595163/v6
-
(i) cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for continued investment in the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and/or for general working capital; or
-
(ii) non-cash consideration for the provision of services to the Company 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:
-
(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
In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued 147,813,707 Equity Securities. This represents 67.8% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Details of each issue of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 3.

Any Notice of Exercise of an Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Option as at the date of receipt.
-

-
(o) ( Adjustments for reorganisation ): If there is any reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Option holders will be varied in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Notes:
-
"Market Price" means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.
-
In respect of quoted Equity Securities, the current value is based on the closing price of the Shares $0.048 on ASX on 7 May 2020. The value of unquoted Equity Securities (unquoted Options) is measured using the Black & Scholes pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the Equity Security, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the Equity Security. No account is taken of any performance conditions included in the terms of the Equity Security other than market-based performance conditions (i.e. conditions linked to the price of Shares).
