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. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF ARMYTAGE SECURITIES

1.1 General

As announced on 14 April 2021, the Company raised a total of $528,000 (before costs) through the issue of 44,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.012 per Share together with one (1) free attaching Armytage Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for and issued ( Armytage Placement ).

The Armytage Options are exercisable at $0.03 on or before 30 April 2023.

On 15 April 2021, the Company issued the Shares and Armytage Options the subject of the Armytage Placement ( Armytage Securities ) to Armytage Private Pty Ltd (ACN 079 960 419) ( Armytage ), under Armytage’s “Armytage Microcap Activist Fund”.

Armytage is an institutional investor who offers fund management services to a wide range of investors including charitable trusts, corporations, superannuation funds, family trusts and retail & wholesale investors. The Armytage Microcap Activist Fund is an unlisted managed investment scheme which seeks to invest in newly emerging businesses, potential corporate plays, strategic turnaround opportunities and mispriced assets listed on the ASX.

1.2

Listing Rules 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions (which are set out in Listing Rule 7.2), 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 12 month period.

The issue of the Armytage Securities 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 uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Armytage Securities.

1.3

Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to retrospectively 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 Armytage Securities.

5

4594-02/2766365v14

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Capital Raising Securities.

1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Armytage Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12month period following the date of issue of the Armytage Securities.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Armytage Securities will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Armytage Securities.

1.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Armytage Securities were issued to Armytage Private Pty Ltd (ACN 079 960 419), an institutional investor who offers fund management services to a wide range of investors including charitable trusts, corporations, superannuation funds, family trusts and retail & wholesale investors;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that Armytage was not:

  • (i) a related party of the Company, a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, a (previous) substantial holder of the Company, an adviser to the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 44,000,000 Shares and 22,000,000 Armytage Options were issued;

  • (d) the Shares issued to Armytage in the Armytage Placement were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (f) the Armytage Securities were issued on 15 April 2021;

  • (g) the issue price per Share was $0.012 and the issue price of the Options was nil as they were issued free attaching with the Shares on a one-fortwo basis. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Armytage Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Armytage Options);

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the Armytage Securities was to raise $528,000, which was applied towards working capital across the Company’s various businesses; and

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the Placement Shares will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE DCA FUTURE SHARES

5.1 General

As described in Section 2.3 above, the Company is in the process of negotiating a strategic alliance with DCA. Subject always to all applicable laws, the Listing Rules and any applicable regulatory approvals (including foreign investment approval from FIRB by 15 December 2021), it is proposed, following formalisation of the strategic alliance, that DCA be granted the opportunity to subscribe for a future placement of up to $1.25 million worth of DCA Future Shares, at an issue price equal to a 20% premium to the Company’s 10-day VWAP, subject to a maximum price of $0.015.

As summarised in Section 1.2 above, 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 proposed issue of the DCA Future Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to this rule in Listing Rule 7.2 and may exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder preapproval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the DCA Future Shares.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

The issue of the DCA Future Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and whilst the number of DCA Future Shares may not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as

13

4594-02/2766365v14

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 pre-approve the issue of the DCA Future Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on the issue equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the DCA Future Shares and such issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company may not be able to proceed with the issue of the DCA Future Shares and the Company may not be able to raise additional funds from DCA, potentially jeopardising the proposed strategic alliance between the two companies.

5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

  • (a) subject to the receipt of FIRB approval, the DCA Future Shares will be issued to DCA;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that DCA is:

  • (i) a substantial holder of the Company (as at the date of this Notice, DCA holds 10.78% of the Shares on issue in the Company; and

  • (ii) will be issued with more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) the maximum number of DCA Future Shares to be issued is up to that number of Shares which, when multiplied by the issue price, equals $1.25 million. The DCA Future 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;

  • (d) the DCA Future Shares will be issued (subject to receipt of FIRB approval) 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) and it is intended that issue of the DCA Future Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price of the DCA Future Shares will be equal to a 20% premium to the Company’s 10-day VWAP, subject to a maximum price per DCA Future Share of $0.015. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the DCA Future Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the DCA Future Shares is to raise up to $1,250,000. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue in accordance with the Use of Funds set out in Section 2.5 above;

  • (g) the DCA Future Shares are not being issued under an agreement, and are merely proposed to be issued subject to formalisation of a strategic alliance between the Company and DCA; and

14

4594-02/2766365v14

  • (h) the DCA Future Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

5.4 Dilution

Set out below is a worked example of the number of DCA Future Shares that may be issued under Resolution 5 based on an assumed issue prices of $0.009, $0.012 and $0.015 per DCA Future Share, being the applicable issue price based off:

  • (c) the closing price of Shares on 8 September 2021 (the day immediately prior to announcement of the DCA strategic alliance) of $0.01 ( Closing Price );

  • (d) the ceiling price of $0.015 per Share; and

  • (e) an equivalent reduction in applicable issue price, such that the DCA Future Shares are issued at $0.009.

  3. The Company notes that the above workings are an example only and the actual issue price may differ. This will result in the maximum number of Shares to be issued and the dilution percentage to also differ.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES UNDER SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

6.1 The Company’s SPP and Listing Rule 7.1

As set out in Section 2.4 above, the Company is currently in the process of conducting a SPP, providing eligible Shareholders the opportunity to invest in the Company at the same price as the Placement, without brokerage or other related charges. Pursuant to the SPP, the Company proposes to issue approximately 166,666,667 Shares at an issue price of $0.009 and intends to raise up to $1,500,000.

Shareholders can apply for Shares under the SPP up to a maximum of $30,000. Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with all existing ordinary Shares.

15

4594-02/2766365v14

As summarised in Section 1.2 above, 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 of Shares under the SPP falls within exception 5 of Listing 7.2, and therefore does not fall within the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1.

However, in the event the SPP is not fully subscribed, the Company proposes to place Shortfall at the discretion of the Directors subject to compliance with all necessary legal requirements. The proposed issue of the Shortfall does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses up part of the Company’s 25% combined limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Shortfall.

6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

The issue of Shares forming the Shortfall does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and whilst the number of Shares to be issued may not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 pre-approve the issue of these Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issue equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shortfall following the conclusion of the SPP. In addition, the issue of the Shortfall will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, subject to the Company having sufficient remaining capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and/or Listing Rule 7.1A, the issue of the Shortfall following the conclusion of the SPP can still proceed but it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, and the Company does not have sufficient capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and/or Listing Rule 7.1A, the issue of the Shortfall following the conclusion of the SPP will not be able to proceed, and the Company will not be able to raise the full $1,500,000 under the SPP.

6.3

Technical 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 Resolution 6:

  • (a) Shares forming the Shortfall will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who will be identified by the Directors.

  • (b) In accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:

  • (i) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company.

  • (c) A maximum number of Shares to be issued as Shortfall is currently unknown, as the SPP has not yet concluded. The maximum number of Shares that could be issued pursuant to Resolution 6, on the assumption that no eligible Shareholders subscribe for any Shares under the SPP, is 166,666,667.

  • (d) The Shares issued as Shortfall 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) The Shortfall will be issued 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) and it is intended that the issue will occur on the same date.

  • (f) The issue price per Share will be $0.009, being the issue price per Share of the SPP. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shortfall.

  • (g) The purpose of the issue of the Shortfall is to ensure the Company is able to raise the full $1,500,000 under the SPP. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue in accordance with the use of funds set out in Section 2.5 above.

  • (h) The Shortfall will be issued pursuant to the terms of the SPP.

  • (i) The offer under the SPP ( Offer ) is intending to raise a maximum of $1.5 million. The Company may elect to accept additional subscriptions or alternatively close the Offer early and/or scale back applications.

  • (ii) Under the SPP, Eligible Shareholders (defined below) will have the opportunity to purchase up to $30,000 worth of Shares at the same price as the Placement ($0.009), irrespective of the size of their shareholding, without incurring brokerage or transaction costs.

  • (iii) Participation under the SPP is optional and is available exclusively to shareholders of the Company who are registered as holders of Shares at 7:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 8 September 2021 and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ).

  • (v) The proceeds raised under the SPP (together with the Placement) will be applied towards to the acquisition of 100% of the shares on issue in Secure Data Centre Pty Ltd ATF SDC Trust and 100% of the units on issue in the SDC Trust, which owns a data centre in Darwin, Northern Territory and additional working capital.

  • (vi) All payments for Shares must be received by the closing date of Thursday, 30 September 2021.

17

4594-02/2766365v14

  • (vii) In the event that less than $1.5 million is applied for under the SPP, shortfall from the SPP may be placed at the discretion of the Directors subject to compliance with all necessary legal requirements. The Company confirms that any issue of the shortfall will be placed subject to the Company’s compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A at the time of issue. Any issue of shortfall will be placed subject to receipt of Shareholder approval.

(i) The Shortfall is not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

7. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE WARRANTS

7.1 General

On 8 September 2021, the Company entered into an agreement PURE Asset Management for the provision (by TMT) for the four year secured $4 million Debt Facility to support the SDC acquisition and the Company’s future growth strategies.

As part of the terms of the Debt Facility, the Company has agreed to issue PURE Asset Management (or its nominees) 200,000,000 Warrants.

7.2 Listing Rule 7.1

As summarised in Section 1.2 above, 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 proposed issue of the Warrants does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

The value of the Warrants is $800,000 ($0.004 per Warrant).

7.3

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 Warrants. In addition, the issue of the Warrants will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Warrants. If the Warrants are not issued, the Company will indemnify the PURE Asset Management (or its nominees) on demand for the option value of the Warrants and any other cost, expense (including legal fees) incurred by PURE Asset Management (or its nominees) as a result of or in connection with their failure to receive the Warrants ( Full Economic Value ). The Full Economic value will be determined through a Black& Scholes option pricing model. By way of example the Full Economic Value, as at the date of this Notice, would be $800,000.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Warrants.

As summarised in Section 1.2 above, 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 proposed issue of the TMT Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
