  • (c) a Shareholder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

6 Proxies

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:

  • (a) each Shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting has a right to appoint a proxy;

  • (b) the proxy need not be a Shareholder;

  • (c) a Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no proportional number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes; and

  • (d) a Shareholder may specify the way in which the proxy is to vote on the Resolutions or may allow the proxy to vote at its discretion. If the way in which a proxy is to vote on a Resolution is specified by a Shareholder, the proxy may not vote on that Resolution except as specified by the Shareholder.

7 Voting of proxies

Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act apply to voting by proxy. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of the requirements under the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this meeting.

A member who is entitled to vote at the Meeting may appoint:

  • (a) one proxy if the member is only entitled to one vote; or

  • (b) one or two proxies if the member is entitled to more than one vote.

Where the member appoints two proxies, the appointment may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy may exercise. If the appointment does not specify a proportion or number, each proxy may exercise half of the votes, in which case any fraction of votes will be disregarded.

A proxy need not be a member of DXN.

If you require an additional proxy form, DXN will supply it on request.

The proxy form and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed (or a certified copy) must be received by DXN, at least 48 hours before the time for holding the Meeting (i.e. by no later than 9:00am (Sydney time) on Saturday, 20 January 2024, at:

  • (a) online: https://investor.automic.com.au/#/loginsah;

  • (b) by fax: +61 2 8583 3040;

  • (c) by email: [email protected];

  • (d) by phone: 1300 288 664 (Within Australia) or +61 2 9698 5414 (Overseas);

  • (e) by mail: Automic, GPO Box 5193, Sydney NSW 2001; or

  • (f) by hand: Automic, Level 5, 126 Phillip Street, Sydney NSW 2000.

Proxies given by corporate shareholders must be executed in accordance with their constitutions, or under the hand of a duly authorised attorney.

A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion, except where the proxy is required by law or DXN's constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with that

Notice of meeting and explanatory statement

Legal/84751810_13 #10669691v1

Page 8

direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit.

If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as the Shareholder's proxy and does not specify how the Chairman is to vote on an item of business, the Chairman will vote, as proxy for that Shareholder, in favour of the item on a poll.

8 Voting by corporate representatives

Corporate Shareholders or proxies wishing to vote by corporate representative should obtain an appointment of corporate representative form from the Share Registry and complete and sign the form in accordance with the corporate Shareholder's constitution or by a duly authorised attorney.

The corporate representative form and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed (or a certified copy thereof) must be received by before the start or resumption of the meeting at which the representative is to vote, by post in the reply-paid envelope provided.

9 How the Chairman will vote undirected proxies

If you return your Proxy Form but do not nominate a proxy, the Chairman will be your proxy and will vote on your behalf as you direct on the Proxy Form. If your nominated representative does not attend the meeting, then your proxy will revert to the Chairman, and he will vote on your behalf as you direct on the Proxy Form.

If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business or Resolution, the proxy (including, if applicable, the Chairman) may vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.

If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (or if the Chairman is appointed by default) and do not direct the Chairman how to vote on a particular Resolution, the Chairman will vote your proxy in favour of that item of business, even if the Chairman has an interest in the outcome of that particular Resolution and votes cast by the Chairman, other than as proxy holder, would be disregarded because of that interest.

1 Explanatory memorandum

1.1 Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of this Notice of Meeting and has been prepared to provide Shareholders of the Company with sufficient information to consider the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Meeting of the Company. The General Meeting of the Company will be held virtually (online at

https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_V9Ux_IK2QWe33xhV9r-J1A) at 9:00am (Sydney time) on Monday, 22 January 2024.

The Board recommends that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum carefully and in its entirety before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

1.2 Further information about the Resolutions

  • (a) Resolution 1 – Ratification of the issue of Shares under the Placement Tranche 1

Explanation

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the placement of 430,000,000 Shares that were issued on 4 December 2023 to numerous private based sophisticated and professional investors who are known to the Company through direct relationships with its Board and management (rather than through a broker) under the Company's capacity to issue securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an ASX listed company must not, without the prior approval of shareholders or otherwise pursuant to limited exceptions, issue or agree to issue securities if the number of securities issued, when aggregated with the number of securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceeds 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible ASX listed companies have the opportunity to extend their placement capacity to 25% in a 12-month period, with shareholder approval. DXN obtained such approval at its Annual General Meeting held on Monday, 20 November 2023.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made provided that the issue of securities did not breach the company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Upon such ratification, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval.

If the Shareholders ratify the issue of the Placement Shares Tranche 1 that occurred on 28 November 2023 as part of the Placement Tranche 1, those securities will be deemed to have been issued with Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares Tranche 1 will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

Reasons

Whilst the Placement Shares Tranche 1 were issued under DXN's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, the Directors consider it prudent to keep available as much of DXN's placement capacity under the ASX Listing Rules as possible from time to time, particularly given DXN's possible need for further capital in the short term to continue to fund DXN's ongoing working capital requirements. It is for this reason that Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is sought.

Notice of meeting and explanatory statement

Legal/84751810_13 #10669691v1

Page 10

The effect of the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares Tranche 1 under the Placement Tranche 1 is that DXN's placement capacity under the ASX Listing Rules will be reinstated, enabling it to issue further securities, subject to the ASX Listing Rules, in the next 12 months without Shareholder approval.

Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the Company provides the following information:

Number of securities issued: 430,000,000 Shares were issued under the Placement Tranche 1 on the following basis:

  • 258,500,000 Shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 171,500,000 Shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Fixed issue price per Share: The Placement Shares Tranche 1 were issued at a price of $0.002 (0.2 cents) per Share.

Recipients of issue: Numerous private based sophisticated and professional investors who are known to the Company through direct relationships with its Board and management (rather than through a broker).

Terms of securities: The Placement Shares Tranche 1 are fully paid ordinary shares. The Placement Shares Tranche 1 issued rank equally with other existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.

Use of funds raised: The funds raised by the Placement Tranche 1 will be applied towards general working capital expenditure, the repayment of financial liabilities and existing creditors, working capital to support the proposed new modular division contract, capital required to facilitate the exit from the Sydney lease and transaction and legal costs.

Voting: A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

Board Recommendation

Your Directors unanimously recommend that eligible Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

(b) Resolution 2 – Approval of the issue of Shares under the Placement Tranche 2

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the placement of 545,000,000 Shares to be issued on or about 22 January 2024 to sophisticated and professional investors pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an ASX listed company must not, without the prior approval of shareholders or otherwise pursuant to limited exceptions, issue or agree to issue securities if the number of securities issued, when aggregated with the number of securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceeds 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

If Resolution 2 is passed, DXN will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares Tranche 2 without using any of DXN's placement capacity. In addition, the issue of the Placement Shares Tranche 2 will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that DXN can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares Tranche 2 will only proceed to the extent that DXN has the available placement capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If DXN does not have the available placement capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of the Placement Shares Tranche 2 will not be able to proceed. If Resolution 2 is not passed, DXN may need to find alternative ways to raise capital.

Notice of meeting and explanatory statement

Legal/84751810_13 #10669691v1

Page 11

Reasons

Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is being sought as the number of Placement Shares Tranche 2 exceeds DXN's existing placement capacity.

The issue of the Placement Shares Tranche 2 without Shareholder approval would be in breach of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information:

Number of securities to be issued: 545,000,000 Shares will be issued in connection with the Placement Tranche 2 to sophisticated and professional investors (who are not also Directors).

Fixed issue price per Share: The Placement Shares Tranche 2 will be issued at a price of $0.002 (0.2 cents) per Share.

Recipients of issue: Numerous private based sophisticated and professional investors who are known to the Company through direct relationships with its Board and management (rather than through a broker).

Terms of securities: The Placement Shares Tranche 2 are fully paid ordinary shares. The Placement Shares Tranche 2 issued rank equally with other existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.

Date of issue: It is anticipated that, subject to Shareholder approval, the Placement Shares Tranche 2 will be issued on or about 22 January 2024, and in any event the Placement Shares Tranche 2 must be issued by no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3.4.

Use of funds raised: The funds raised by the Placement Tranche 2 will be applied towards general working capital expenditure, the repayment of financial liabilities and existing creditors, working capital to support the proposed new modular division contract, capital required to facilitate the exit from the Sydney lease and transaction and legal costs

Board Recommendation

Your Directors unanimously recommend that eligible Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

(c) Resolution 3 – Approval of the issue of Shares to Brendan Power as part of the Placement Tranche 2

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the placement of 50,000,000 Shares to Brendan Power (or his nominee), to be issued on or about 22 January 2024.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that an ASX listed company must not, without the prior approval of shareholders or otherwise pursuant to limited exceptions, issue or agree to issue securities to directors of the company.

If Resolution 3 is passed, DXN will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Shares to Brendan Power and pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), the issue of the relevant Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that DXN can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, DXN will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Shares to Brendan Power (or his nominee), and DXN will not be able to raise funds from issuing these Shares to Brendan Power.

At the date of this Notice, Brendan Power holds (directly or indirectly) 40,666,666 Shares.

Notice of meeting and explanatory statement

Legal/84751810_13 #10669691v1

The issue of the Shares to Brendan Power (or his nominee) without Shareholder approval would be in breach of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the Company provides the following information:

Use of funds raised: The funds raised by the issue of these Shares will, along with the proceeds of the Placement Tranche 2, be applied towards general working capital expenditure, the repayment of financial liabilities and existing creditors, working capital to support the proposed new modular division contract, capital required to facilitate the exit from the Sydney lease and transaction and legal costs.

Board Recommendation

Your Directors (other than Brendan Power) unanimously recommend that eligible Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

(d) Resolution 4 – Approval of the issue of Shares to Peter McGrath as part of the Placement Tranche 2

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the placement of 25,000,000 Shares to Peter McGrath (or his nominee), to be issued on or about 22 January 2024.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that an ASX listed company must not, without the prior approval of shareholders or otherwise pursuant to limited exceptions, issue or agree to issue securities to directors of the company.

If Resolution 4 is passed, DXN will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Shares to Peter McGrath (or his nominee) and pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), the issue of the relevant Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that DXN can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Reasons

In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the Company provides the following information:

Number of securities to be issued: 25,000,000 Shares will be issued to Peter McGrath (or his nominee).

As noted above, the Company believes its team are the right people to continue to take the business forward. In this context, it is important to create an incentive for the team to continue on with DXN. The grant of Options provides this incentive, in a prudent and responsible manner.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that an ASX listed company must not, without the prior approval of shareholders or otherwise pursuant to limited exceptions, issue or agree to issue securities to directors of the company.

If Resolution 5 is passed, DXN will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Options to Peter McGrath and pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), the issue of the relevant Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that DXN can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, DXN will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Options to Peter McGrath and may need to find alternative ways to reward Peter McGrath, noting that alternative reward mechanisms (e.g, cash) may not be as effective as the Options in aligning the interests of the recipient with the interests of Shareholders.

At the date of this Notice, Peter McGrath holds (directly or indirectly) 15,511,060 Shares.

Board Recommendation

Your Directors (other than Tim Hannon) unanimously recommend that eligible Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

(h) Resolution 8 – Consolidation of Share Capital

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval, subject to and conditional upon the passing of Resolutions 1, 2 ,3 and 4, pursuant to section 254H of the Corporations Act for the Company to undertake a consolidation of the number of Shares on issue on the basis that every 15 Shares in the Company is consolidated into 1 Share in the Company ( Share Consolidation ).

Assuming Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 are passed, DXN will have 2,773,339,836 Shares on issue on the Effective Date. For a company of DXN's size and nature (including total number of Shareholders) and market capitalisation, this is a large number of shares to have on issue and, consequently, DXN's Shares trade at a low price. The Share Consolidation is expected to result in:

  • (a) a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company;

  • (b) the Share price being potentially more appealing to a wider range of investors; and (c) any poor market perception attributable to the Company’s low share price potentially being reduced.

The Share Consolidation will have no effect (other than rounding) on the percentage interest in the Company of each Shareholder and will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of existing Shareholders.

If Resolution 8 is passed (subject to and conditional upon the passing of Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4), the Share Consolidation will take effect on Tuesday, 30 January 2024 ( Effective Date ). Please refer to the indicative timetable on pages 2 and 3 for the key dates that follow the Effective Date.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, or if any of Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 are not passed, the Company will not proceed with the Share Consolidation.

Fractions

Not all Shareholders will hold that number of Shares which can be evenly divided. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round to the nearest whole number, or if exactly one half, up to the nearest whole number.

Reasons

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number of shares by resolution passed at a general meeting.

The Share Consolidation is permitted under section 254H of the Corporations Act.

ASX Listing Rule 7.20 provides that where an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must tell equity security holders:

  • (a) the effect of the proposal on the number of securities and the amount unpaid (if any) on the securities;

  • (b) the proposed treatment of any fractional entitlements; and

  • (c) the proposed treatment of any convertible securities on issue.

Any Options on issue, including the Options the subject of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7, will be reconfigured in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. Broadly, this means that the number of Options on issue will be consolidated on a 15:1 basis and the exercise price of

Notice of meeting and explanatory statement

Legal/84751810_13 #10669691v1

Page 18

the Options will increase by 15 times. Therefore, if the Share Consolidation is implemented, the exercise price of the Options proposed to be issued under Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 will increase from $0.002 to $0.03 (ie, 3 cents).

Board Recommendation

Your Directors unanimously recommend that eligible Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

Schedule 1 – Terms of New O tions p

The rights and liabilities attaching to the New Options are summarised as follows:

Register

The Company maintains a register of holders of options (which include the New Options) in accordance with section 168(1)(b) of the Corporations Act.

Transfer / transmission

New Options will not be quoted on ASX. Options are not transferable.

Issue and lapse

New Options issued to a holder will lapse if the vesting condition is not satisfied on the vesting date, or before the vesting date if the vesting condition is not able to be satisfied. New Options will also lapse on the relevant expiry date if not exercised on or before that date. The relevant expiry date for the New Options is set out in the relevant explanatory material for each such Option in the Notice.

Exercise

A New Option may, provided it is vested, be exercised at any time prior to its expiry by delivery to the Company of a duly completed notice of exercise of the New Options ( Exercise Notice ), signed by the registered holder of the New Option, together with payment to the Company of the relevant exercise price for each New Option being exercised and the relevant option certificate. The relevant exercise price for the New Options is set out in the relevant explanatory material for each such Option in the Notice.

New Options which are validly exercised will be deemed to have been exercised on the date that an Exercise Notice is in respect of those New Options is lodged with the Company. A notice of exercise of New Options is only effective when the Company has received the full amount of the exercise price in cash or cleared funds.

Dividend entitlement

New Options do not carry any dividend entitlement until they are exercised. Fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Shares ) issued on the exercise of New Options rank equally with other Shares then on issued from their date of issue and are entitled to dividends paid on and from this date when the record date for the dividends occurs after the date of issue of the Shares.

Participation rights

For determining entitlements to the issue, a holder of New Options may only participate in new issues of securities to holders of applicable Shares if the New Option has been exercised and a Share allotted in respect of the New Option before the relevant record date.

The Company must give at least 6 business days' notice to holders of New Options of any new issue before the relevant record date for determining entitlements to the issue in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

If between the date of issue and the date of exercise of a New Option the Company makes on or more rights issues (being a pro rata issue of Shares that is not a bonus issue) in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the exercise of New Options on issue will be reduced in respect of each rights issue according to the following formula:

Notice of meeting and explanatory statement

Legal/84751810_13 #10669691v1

Page 24

NE = OE – E[P – (S+D)] N + 1

where:

NE is the new exercise price of the New Option;

OE is the old exercise price of the New Option;

E is the number of underlying Shares into which one New Option is exercisable;

P is the average closing sale price per Share (weighted by reference to volume) during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex-rights date or ex entitlements date (excluding special crossings and overnight sales);

S is the subscription price for a Share under the rights issue;

D is the dividend due but not yet paid one each Share at the relevant time; and

N is the number of Shares that must be held to entitle holders to receive a new Share in the rights issue.

If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares, the number of Shares over which the New Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the New Option would have received if the New Option has been exercised before the relevant record date for the bonus issue.

Reconstructions and alteration to capital

Any adjustment to the number of outstanding New Options and the exercise price under a reorganisation of the Company's share capital must be made in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation.
