ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Resolution 4 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Approval of Future Issue of Securities
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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to add an additional 10% capacity.
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 less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).
As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $10.77 million and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution 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 this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in 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.
Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
The following information is provided to Shareholder for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.
Period for which the approval will be valid
An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(b) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A
Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities and issued for cash consideration.
The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the equity securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the equity securities; and
-
(b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.
DTI Group Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used
As noted above, any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:
-
(a) Ongoing product development to service existing and new purchase orders
-
(b) General working capital
Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders
If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.
There is a risk that:
-
(a) the market price for the Company’s equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date;
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:
| Variable “A” ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 | Variable “A” ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised |

Notes:
-
(a) Based on the total number of fully paid ordinary Shares on issue as at 23 October 2023.
-
(b) Based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at 23 October 2023.
-
(c) The table assumes that the Company issues the maximum number of ordinary Shares available to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(d) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of issues of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of this Explanatory Statement.

(e) The table shows the effect of an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A only, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company’s allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:
-
(a) the Company’s intentions in relation to the possible issue of equity securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;
-
(b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);
-
(c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;
-
(d) the Company’s financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and
-
(e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.
Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue equity securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Board of Directors reserve the right to determine at the time of any issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.
If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.
Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities.
The Company has not previously sought Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and therefore has not issued or agreed to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the AGM.
This Resolution is a Special Resolution. For a Special Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes validly cast on the resolution by Shareholders (by number of ordinary shares) must be in favour of this Resolution.
Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.
Enquiries
Shareholders are asked to contact the Company Secretary on +61 8 7129 0437 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in these documents.
