1. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholders

In spite of the significant impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on Eden’s operations and markets across the world since the start of 2020, the company has nevertheless continued to make significant advances towards realising its goals of developing and expanding the global markets for its existing products, being the EdenCrete[® ] range of carbon nanotube enriched liquid, concrete admixtures, its OptiBlend[®] dual fuel technology, as well as its emerging new product EdenPlast[®] , polymers enhanced with Eden’s carbon nanotubes.

A brief summary of the progress that has been made during the past 12 months, and the prospects moving forward, is as follows:

  • Total annual group sales of A$3.282 million were achieved in the 12 months ended 30 June 2021, an increase of $863,415 or 36% on the previous 12 months.

  • US EdenCrete[®] sales have continued to grow in several market areas including for shotcrete, construction and ready mix applications.

  • The first sale in India of EdenCrete[®] products to a major Indian construction company, occurred.

  • A French construction company that had been testing EdenCrete[® ] products since 2019, incorporated EdenCrete[®] into two of its standard concrete mix designs.

  • Australian regulatory approval was obtained by the Australian distributor to import EdenCrete products into Australia, opening the way for Australian product sales.

  • Successful trials using EdenCrete[® ] products with Indonesian fly ash were concluded.

  • OptiBlend[® ] sales in both US and India grew significantly, and on a year-on-year basis, to 30 June 2021, rose by 65%.

  • Importantly, interest continues to grow, in the USA, India and a number of other countries, in all of Eden’s products.

Eden’s Australian directors as well as its largest shareholder, Noble Energy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX-listed Tasman Resources Ltd, intend to take up their full entitlements under this Rights Issue. However under Australian law, Eden’s two US-based directors are unable to participate in this Rights Issue.

Shareholders are requested to read this Prospectus carefully, and I commend this Rights Issue to you.

Yours sincerely

  • 2.1.2.1 Qualifying Shareholders who wish to apply for additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) in excess of their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer (“the QS Shortfall Offer”); and

  • 2.1.2.2 any investor to whom the Directors elect, in their discretion, to place the balance of the Shortfall remaining after the offer in section 2.1.2.1 has been completed in accordance with section 2.12,

on the terms set out in section 2.12 (the “Shortfall Offers”).

The Offers are not underwritten.

All New Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Existing Shares (see section 7.4 of this Prospectus).

The New Options to be issued under this Prospectus will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in section 7.5 of this Prospectus.

2.2 Entitlement Offer

As the Entitlement Offer (refer to section 2.1.1 above) is non-renounceable, Qualifying Shareholders who do not wish to exercise their Rights to subscribe for some or all of the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) being offered to them under this Prospectus may not sell or otherwise transfer those Rights, and those Rights will lapse upon the expiry of the Offer Period.

2.3 Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer

Shareholders who are registered on the Company's Share Register and whose registered addresses are in Australia or New Zealand (Qualifying Shareholders) at the close of business on the Record Date, being 5.00 pm WST on 7 September 2021, are eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer. An Acceptance Form setting out Qualifying Shareholders’ Entitlements to New Shares and New Options accompanies this Prospectus.

Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares and accompanying New Options.

2.4 Applications

The Entitlement Offer may be accepted by Qualifying Shareholders in whole or in part prior to the Closing Date, subject to the right of the Company to extend the Offer Period or close the Entitlement Offer early.

Instructions for accepting an Entitlement are set out in section 3 of this Prospectus and on the Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus.

2.5 Application money

All Qualifying Shareholders who accept the Entitlement Offer made to them in its entirety will receive their Entitlement in full.

New Shares and accompanying New Options will be issued to a Qualifying Shareholders only after all of their Application Money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the New Shares and New Options to be quoted.

All Application Money received before the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) are issued will be held in a special purpose bank account. After the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) are issued

6

to Qualifying Shareholders, the funds in the account, plus accrued interest, will be received by the Company. All Application Moneys will be returned (without interest) if this Rights Issue is withdrawn or otherwise does not proceed.

If the New Shares and New Options are not admitted to Quotation by ASX within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus (or any longer period permitted by ASIC), the Company will refund all Application Moneys in full.

2.6 Issue outside Australia and New Zealand

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Securities in any place outside Australia and New Zealand in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue the Prospectus. The distribution of this Prospectus and the accompanying Acceptance Form in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus and the accompanying Acceptance Form (including nominees, trustees or custodians) should seek advice on and observe those restrictions. Any failure to comply with those restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

No action has been taken to register the Rights, the New Shares or New Options or this Prospectus or otherwise permit an offering of the New Shares or New Options or the Rights in any jurisdiction outside of Australia or New Zealand. Without limitation, the Rights and the New Shares and New Options have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) or the securities laws of any State of the United States of America and may not be offered in the United States of America or to, or for the account of or benefit of, US persons.

2.7 Treatment of Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders

The Offer in this Prospectus is not being extended to any Shareholder, as at the Record Date, whose registered address is not situated in Australia or New Zealand (Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders). This is because the Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to extend the Offer to Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders having regard to the small number of such Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders, the small number and value of the Securities which would be offered to them, and the cost of complying with the applicable legal requirements, and requirements of regulatory authorities, of the applicable jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand.

Recipients (including any nominee, trustee or custodian who receives this Prospectus) may not send or otherwise distribute this Prospectus or the accompanying Acceptance Form to any person outside Australia or New Zealand (other than to Qualifying Shareholders).

2.8 ASX Quotation of New Shares and New Options

On the same day as announcing this Rights Issue, the Company applied to the ASX for the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus to be granted Quotation.

If approval for Quotation of the New Shares and New Options is not granted within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus (or any longer period permitted by ASIC), the Company will not allot or issue any New Shares (or accompanying New Options) pursuant to the Offers and will repay all Application Moneys without interest as soon as practicable.

Subject to approval being granted by ASX, it is expected that the New Shares and New Options will be issued on 8 October 2021 and that Quotation of the New Shares and New Options will commence on ASX on a normal basis on 9 October 2021. It is the responsibility of all Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in New Shares and New Options. Applicants who trade or otherwise deal with New Shares and New Options before they receive holding statements will do so at their own risk. The Company disclaims all liability in tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise to persons who trade or otherwise deal with New Shares and New Options before receiving holding statements.

ASIC and ASX take no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that the ASX may approve Quotation of the New Shares and New Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares or New Options offered under this Prospectus.

2.9 Allotment of New Shares and New Options Subject to ASX granting approval for Quotation of the New Shares and New Options, the allotment of the New Shares and New Options to Qualifying Shareholders will occur as soon as possible after this Rights Issue

7

is closed, following which holding statements setting out the number of New Shares and New Options allotted to Qualifying Shareholders under this Prospectus will be despatched.

2.10 Minimum subscriptions and oversubscriptions

There is no minimum subscription to this Rights Issue, and no oversubscriptions will be accepted.

2.11 Offer Not Underwritten

This Rights Issue is not underwritten.

2.12 Shortfall

The Shortfall Offers are separate offers pursuant to this Prospectus.

2.12.1 QS Shortfall Offer to Qualifying Shareholders

Qualifying Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) forming part of the Shortfall, regardless of the size of their present holding.

Qualifying Shareholders who wish to participate in the QS Shortfall Offer by applying for New Shares (and accompanying New Options) above their Entitlement, should insert the number of additional New Shares they wish to apply for in that section of the table in the Acceptance Form headed "Number of Shortfall Shares (if any) applied for (in excess of the Entitlement shown above)". The issue price of any New Shares comprising part of the Shortfall shall be $0.022, being the price at which the Rights have been offered to Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus. Any additional New Shares applied for must be paid for in the same manner as the Entitlement Shares are paid for. A single payment should be made for the Application Moneys for any New Shares you have applied for as part of your Entitlement and any additional New Shares applied for as part of the Shortfall. It is an express term of the QS Shortfall Offer that applicants for New Shares comprised in the Shortfall will be bound to accept a lesser number of additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) than the number applied for.

The Shortfall will be placed at the discretion of the Company. The Company reserves the right to reject (either in whole or in part) any applications for the Shortfall. The Company also reserves the right to allot to an Applicant a lesser number of the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) comprising the Shortfall than the number for which the Applicant applies, or to allot none of the additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) applied for by the Applicant. As a result, Qualifying Shareholders who apply for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement receive no guarantee that they shall receive all or any of those additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) for which they apply. If a Qualifying Shareholder does not receive all or any of the additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) they apply for under the QS Shortfall Offer, any excess Application Moneys will be returned to them (without interest).

2.12.2 Investors

The Directors reserve the right, subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, to place any remaining Shortfall not subscribed for under the QS Shortfall Offer referred to in section 2.12.1 above, at any time within 3 months of the Closing Date, at an issue price of not less than the issue price under the Entitlement Offer, being $0.022 per Share. The offer of the remaining Shortfall under this section 2.12.2 shall remain open under this Prospectus (and may be accepted by any investor who has been offered any portion of the Shortfall by the Directors in their discretion) until the date which is 3 months after the Closing Date.

If any of the Company’s Directors (whether personally or through their associated companies or trusts) or Noble Energy Ltd, the Company’s major shareholder (see section 6.4), apply for any of the Shortfall under either of the Shortfall Offers, the Company will not issue them with any of the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) comprising the Shortfall unless it first obtains Shareholder approval to such issue, as required by Listing Rule 10.11.

2.13 Purpose of the Offers

The purpose of the Offers is to raise up to approximately $3,823,610 (before expenses of the Offer). The funds raised under this Rights Issue will be utilised in the manner set out in section 6.5 of this Prospectus.

No New Shares or New Options will be issued under this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.

2.16 Indicative timetable

Refer to the "Summary of Offer" at the beginning of this Prospectus for an indicative Offer timetable.

2.17 Existing Shares

There are currently 2,085,605,496 Shares on issue in the Company. If the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed, and assuming that none of the Existing Options are converted to Shares before the Closing Date, a total of approximately 2,259,405,954 Shares will be on issue in the Company at the conclusion of the Entitlement Offer.

2.18 Existing Options, Performance Rights and Incentive Shares

There are currently 69,394,506 Existing Options on issue in the Company, all of which are unlisted. If the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed, and assuming that none of the Existing Options are converted to Shares before the Closing Date, a total of approximately 156,294,735 Options will be on issue in the Company at the conclusion of the Entitlement Offer (comprising the 69,394,506 Existing Options and 86,900,229 New Options issued under the Entitlement Offer).

In addition, the Company has:

  • 2.18.1 on issue 27,304,014 performance rights (see section 7.6 of this Prospectus for additional information); and

  • 2.18.2 agreed to issue 5,000,000 Shares on or as soon as practicable after 1 January 2022 and 5,000,000 Shares on or as soon as practicable after 1 January 2023 to the Chief Executive Officer of its US subsidiary, subject to such employee not being unable to fulfil the functions of such role for a period of not less than 3 months because of death or disability and not being fired for cause or voluntarily leaving the employment of such subsidiary (other than to take up a position with the Company).

2.19 Existing Optionholders

Holders of all of the Existing Options on issue in the Company, to the extent they are a Qualifying Shareholder, may participate in this Rights Issue by exercising any or all of their Existing Options prior to the Record Date.

All of the Existing Options on issue in the Company are capable of being exercised. If all of these Existing Options were exercised before the Record Date, an additional 69,394,506 Shares would then be issued. In addition, in the event that all of the Rights in respect of these additional Shares were subscribed for, an additional 5,782,876 New Shares (together with 2,891,438 accompanying New Options) would be issued under this Rights Issue, and a further $127,223 could be raised under this Rights Issue.

As the price at which the Company's Shares are currently trading is less than the price at which the Existing Options are exercisable, the Company considers it unlikely that any of the Optionholders will choose to

9

exercise any of their Existing Options prior to the Record Date.

2.20 Effect on existing Shareholders and Optionholders

For the effect this Rights Issue will have on Shareholders’ and Optionholders’ existing interests, please see section 6.3 of this Prospectus.

4. COMPANY OVERVIEW

4.1 Background

Eden was incorporated in Australia in May 2004 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tasman Resources Ltd. Eden undertook an initial public offering pursuant to a prospectus in March 2006 and was admitted to the Official List of the ASX on 1 June 2006.

4.2 Directors

The current Directors of the Company are:

  • Gregory Howard Solomon, LLB (Executive Chairman)

  • Douglas Howard Solomon, B. Juris (Hons), LLB (Non-Executive Director)

  • Stephen D. Dunmead, Ph.D., M.S., B.S. (Non-Executive Director)

  • Lazaros Nikeas B.A. (Non-Executive Director)

4.3 Projects

Nano-Carbon / Hydrogen Project

Carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibres are two forms of carbon nano particles with high tensile strength (up to 200-300 times stronger than steel) but a mass of only approximately 17% that of steel. They are also extremely efficient conductors of heat and electricity.

More than 15 years ago, Eden and the University of Queensland developed a proprietary, efficient, commercially competitive pyrolysis process to produce from Natural Gas, hydrogen and solid carbon in the form of either carbon nanotubes (CNT) or carbon nano-fibres (CNF), without producing carbon dioxide as a direct by-product. Eden acquired 100% ownership of this technology, was granted a patent, and has since scaled up its production capability at its plant in Denver, Colorado.

The quantity of hydrogen gas produced by this process is 25% (by mass) of the total mass of Natural Gas used as feed stock, with the remaining 75% by mass being produced as solid carbon.

The hydrogen can be used on its own either as a fuel or for various commercial applications (such as production of ammonia for use in fertilisers) or it can be mixed with Natural Gas to create Hythane™, a low emission, premium blend of hydrogen and Natural Gas, the technology for which Eden acquired in 2004.

The high greenhouse gas footprint of the current commercial methods of producing low cost commercial hydrogen, and the relatively high cost of producing hydrogen using renewable technologies of one form or other that produce either little or no greenhouse gas, are two of the major limiting factors holding back a broader rollout of hydrogen.

Encouragingly, and of great commercial importance, is the fact that the solid carbon, and in particular the CNT, produced by Eden’s pyrolysis process presently has a far greater commercial value than the hydrogen. Further, the hydrogen produced using the Eden pyrolysis process will only generate a relatively small amount of greenhouse gas as a by-product if Natural Gas is used as the heating fuel for the reactor, and will have a zero greenhouse gas footprint if renewable energy is used for the heating process.

In consequence, the Company projects that although the hydrogen is not the primary commercial product targeted by the Company, the hydrogen that is generated by Eden’s pyrolysis process could be both commercially competitive and environmentally acceptable when compared with other renewable hydrogen production processes. These factors have been the drivers for a number of preliminary enquiries that Eden has received, and a major trial that took place, during the past 2 years in relation to its various hydrogen related technologies.

In relation to the solid carbon, research over the past twenty years has shown that CNT and CNF have considerable potential as additives to improve the performance of a wide range of materials including concrete, plastics and polymers, coatings, and rubber.

For the past 10 years Eden has been focused on developing large scale bulk applications for the CNT that it can produce and has achieved strong commercial progress in the concrete market, and also advanced research in plastics and polymers and more recently preliminary in-house trials with conductive coatings and films have also been encouraging.

A short summary of progress to date that has been made on Eden’s CNT projects is detailed below.

13

EdenCrete ® - CNT Enriched Concrete

EdenCrete®, Eden’s carbon nanotube enriched concrete admixture (for which Eden holds a patent), was first trialled commercially in the United States of America in 2015, and has emerged as the Company’s first commercial CNT product with great potential for global application. To date three versions of EdenCrete® have been developed for different applications.

Over the past six years since EdenCrete® was first launched commercially, significant progress has been made and a growing number of US government bodies as well as commercial ready mix concrete suppliers, shotcrete suppliers, precast concrete manufacturers, contractors and engineers are now either using EdenCrete® on a regular basis or are currently trialling it.

US infrastructure has been a primary focus, and EdenCrete® has now been used in commercial projects for the Departments of Transportation in Georgia, Texas and Colorado involving highway and bridge repairs, as well as recently in shotcrete applications. It is also being trialled by a number of the Departments of Transportation for similar purposes and is on approved products lists of the Departments of Transportation in a total of 21 US states.

Additionally, commercial sales and trials involving the use of EdenCrete® in various applications for a wide range of non-government projects also grew over the past 6 years.

Notwithstanding the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, US sales levels have continued to rise since early 2020.

Expansion into other international markets also commenced. A distributor for Australia and New Zealand of the EdenCrete® product range was appointed in late 2018, and this product range was commercially released into the Australian and New Zealand markets in 2021 following receipt of the required Australian approval to import the products into Australia. Additionally, during 2020 the first EdenCrete® sales in India, Israel and France took place.

CNT Enriched Polymers and Plastics Project (EdenPlast®)

Eden has during the past several years also been undertaking a joint research project, partly funded by the Australian Research Council, with the University of Queensland into the addition of CNT into plastics and polymers, producing encouraging results and generating two patent applications. A master batch of CNT enriched polymers was developed in 2020 for a large Japanese plastics manufacturer, and is currently being tested in Japan.

Potential uses of EdenPlast® include packaging, automotive and aerospace applications, and also for high strength polymers that could replace metals and other products in a variety of possible applications.

Optiblend ® Project

Over ten years ago, Eden commenced marketing in USA and India, its proprietary, highly efficient OptiBlend® dual fuel system that is capable of operating on diesel engines and displacing up to 70% of the diesel fuel with Natural Gas. If Hythane™ fuel (hydrogen enriched Natural Gas) is used in place of Natural Gas, the displacement of diesel fuel could be as high as 80%. The use of Natural Gas greatly reduces the Greenhouse Gas and other emissions compared with diesel fuel and, in places where Natural Gas is cheaper than diesel, will also reduce fuel costs. It has significant market potential particularly in the diesel powered generator set (“genset”) market.

To date more than 300 Optiblend® systems have been sold across the USA and India, and also in a number of other countries. Over the past year the number of OptiBlend® sales has grown significantly in both the US and India.

5. RISK FACTORS

There are a number of risk factors, both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may affect the financial position, financial performance, cash flows, ability to pay dividends and growth prospects of the Company and the outcome of an investment in the Company. These risks are both specific to the Company and generally relate to an investment in the stock market. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives, or that forward looking statements will be realised.

5.1 Working capital

Eden’s expenses currently exceed the income which is being generated by its US and Indian subsidiaries from sales of EdenCrete®, EdenCrete®HC, EdenCrete®Pz, OptiBlend® and Hythane™. The funds which are being raised under this Prospectus will be augmented by ongoing sales funds which will be received by Eden’s subsidiaries. Assuming sales revenue is at or above budgeted levels and the US $3 million SnowPoint Capital LLC loan is extended for 6 months to 27 April 2022 (the Company has received written confirmation it will be, subject to the usual title checks), the Company is raising sufficient funds pursuant to the Rights Issue, assuming it is fully subscribed, to cover approximately 6 months of working capital requirements. Unless sales increase sufficiently above budgeted levels throughout this period and the loan from SnowPoint Capital LLC is extended/refinanced beyond 27 April 2022, the Company will not be able to achieve financial selfsufficiency prior to this capital being exhausted. The Company may therefore have to raise further capital or borrow further funds prior to this capital being exhausted.

If the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, the Company will have to raise further capital before the expiration of this 6 month period referred to above. There is no guarantee that such additional funds will be available to the Company. Further, any additional equity financing which is available may be dilutive to Shareholders.

The Company's failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company's business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities.

5.2 Risks associated with the commercialisation of new and existing technologies and competing technologies

There is no guarantee that the Company's commercialisation of EdenCrete®, EdenCrete®HC, EdenCrete®Pz, OptiBlend® or Hythane™ or the proposed commercialisation of any other new technologies will be successful. Commercialisation may be impeded by, for example, adverse market conditions, unforeseen technical or environmental issues or the failure of patent applications to be granted. In addition, commercialisation may be impeded due to competition from competing technologies or products (including new technologies). Further, the Company may not be able to establish a market for the sale of its new products which is of a sufficient size, or achieve sufficient growth in market acceptance for the sale of its existing products, for it to achieve financial self-sufficiency.

5.3 Product price volatility and exchange rate risks

The revenue which the Company will derive through the sale of its products, including EdenCrete®, EdenCrete®HC, EdenCrete®Pz, OptiBlend® and Hythane™ exposes the potential income of the Company to product price and exchange rate risks. Product prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company, including supply and demand fluctuations, prices of competing technologies, technological advancements and other micro and macro economic factors. As the Company’s operations are primarily based in the US and India, the Company will also be exposed to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar, Indian rupees and the Australian dollar.

5.4 External Borrowings

The Company will need to either extend, refinance or raise funds to repay the US $3 million SnowPoint Capital LLC interest only loan (which, subject to the usual title checks, is to be extended for 6 months to 27 April 2022) on or before 27 April 2022. In addition, the Company’s US subsidiary received a COVID 19 stimulus small business loan of US $634,300 from the US Federal Government. The Company has sent an application seeking the forgiveness of this loan, but has not yet received confirmation that its application has been approved. If it is not approved, the Company will need to apply some of its existing funds, or raise additional funds, to repay this loan. The Company's failure to extend, refinance and/or raise funds (as applicable) to repay these loans as and when they become due could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities (including requiring the sale of the three properties in the United States which are owned by the Company’s US subsidiary and over which the SnowPoint Capital LLC loan is secured). The Company may also

15

only be able to extend or refinance its existing borrowings at a higher interest rate, which will increase its loan repayments and adversely impact its financial position.

The Company also has a short term loan from its major shareholder Noble Energy Limited, which is repayable from the proceeds of this Rights Issue (or upon demand if this Rights Issue does not proceed for any reason).

5.5 Environmental risks

Whilst the Company endeavours to comply with all present and proposed laws and standards, before the Company reaches the stage where 70 tonnes of carbon have been produced (which is not anticipated to occur for some time), the Company will need to complete further testing in order to give more information to the Environmental Protection Authority in the US. It is only once this information has been provided to the EPA, and the EPA is satisfied with the information, that further production of carbon will be able to occur. Whilst it is anticipated that the Company will be able to comply with the necessary standards, there is no certainty that the EPA will be satisfied with the further information supplied by the Company.

5.6 Operating risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors including operational and technical difficulties encountered in production and commercialisation of its technologies, difficulties in obtaining environmental approvals, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the cost of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful commercialisation of its technologies. Until the income which is generated by Eden’s US and Indian subsidiaries from sales of EdenCrete®, EdenCrete®HC, EdenCrete®Pz, OptiBlend® and Hythane® exceed Eden’s expenses, Eden will continue to incur ongoing operating losses.

5.7 COVID-19

The Company’s operations and activities, and the markets for the sale of its products, may be adversely affected by the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, including those arising from government or industry measures taken to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, including shutdowns, stay at home orders, travel bans and quarantine restrictions. The COVID-19 situation is continually evolving and the ongoing impacts of it are therefore inevitably uncertain and outside of the control of the Company. Forced closures or cessation of work orders applicable to the Company’s employees and contractors could adversely impact the Company’s sales and production activities.

5.8 Strategic Arrangements

The Company has appointed a distributor for Australia and New Zealand. It is possible that the Company may in the future enter into further distributorships or strategic arrangements with third parties to assist with the commercialisation of its technologies. The inability of the Company to conclude an agreement with a strategic industry-based partner or further distributors, and the possibility (should such an arrangement be established) of future disputes or potential conflict with any such strategic parties or with its existing or future distributors, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, financial performance, cash flows, growth prospects, ability to pay dividends and Share price.

5.9 No formal valuation of Shares or Options

No formal valuations of any of the Shares or Options, or any of the assets in which the Company has an interest, have been carried out.

5.10 Share market conditions

The price of the Shares and Options will be influenced by international and domestic factors affecting market conditions in equity, financial and commodity markets. These factors may affect the share price for all listed companies, and the price of the New Shares and New Options may fall or rise, and the price of the New Shares may trade below or above the issue price of $0.022.

Although application has been made for the New Options to be listed on the ASX, there may not be a liquid market for trading of the New Options. Also, if the prevailing trading price of the Company’s Shares during the option exercise period for the New Options is lower that the option exercise price, of $0.05, then it is unlikely that the New Options will be exercised. In this scenario, the unexercised New Options will not have any value and will lapse at the end of the option exercise period (on 7 October 2024).

16

5.11 General investment risks

In addition, there is a risk that the price of the Shares and returns to Shareholders may be affected by changes in many general factors including local and world economic conditions and outlook, general movements in local and international stock markets, investor sentiment, interest rates, the rate of inflation, exchange rates, levels of tax, taxation law and accounting practice, government legislation or intervention, inflation or inflationary expectations, pandemics (including the impacts of COVID-19), natural disasters, social disorder or war in Australia or overseas, international hostilities and acts of terrorism, as well as many other factors which are beyond the control of the Company.

5.12 Intellectual property protection

The Company owns intellectual property which the Company endeavours to protect by patents, trademarks and other general security systems. There is a risk that third parties could challenge the Company’s ownership of that intellectual property or allege that the Company has infringed upon their intellectual property. The Company can also not guarantee that the patent and trademark protection that it has endeavoured to obtain will continue to be observed by third parties, or that the security systems it has in place will not be breached. If the Company did receive a challenge from a third party to ownership, an infringement notice, or experience a security breach, this could result in litigation and have an impact on the Company’s financial position.

5.13 Other risks

The above list of risk factors is not exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company and its Shareholders and investors. The above risks, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, no assurances or guarantees of future profitability, distributions, payment of dividends, return of capital or performance of the Company or its Securities can be, or is, provided by the Company.

Before deciding to invest in the Company, potential Applicants should read this Prospectus in its entirety and, in particular, should consider the risk factors that could affect the financial performance of the Company. Applicants should carefully consider these factors in light of their personal circumstances and should consult their professional advisers (for example, their accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser) before deciding whether to invest.

Neither the Company nor its officers, employees, agents and advisers guarantee that any specific objectives of the Company will be achieved or that any particular performance of the Shares and Options, including the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus, will be achieved.

6. EFFECT OF THE ISSUE

6.1 Introduction

Assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the gross proceeds that will be raised by the Company under this Rights Issue (before expenses of the Rights Issue) will amount to approximately $3,823,610 (on the assumption that none of the Existing Options are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date). No funds will be raised from the issue of the New Options, which are being issued free of charge.

6.2 Pro-forma capital structure on completion of the Rights Issue

The pro-forma capital structure of the Company is set out below and reflects the issued and paid up capital structure of the Company assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed (and assuming that none of the Existing Options are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date or before completion of this Rights Issue).

Capital Structure

Shares Percentage Options* Percentage
ExistingShares and Options 2,085,605,496 92.31% 69,394,506 44.40%
Maximum number of New Shares and
New Options(estimated)

and New Options) upon completion of the
Rights Issue(estimated)
2,259,405,954 100.00% 156,294,735 100.00%
  • In addition, the Company has on issue 27,304,014 performance rights (see section 7.6 of this Prospectus for further information), and has agreed to issue up to 10,000,000 Incentive Shares.

On the assumptions set out above, a total of up to approximately 173,800,458 New Shares and up to approximately 86,900,229 accompanying New Options will be issued by the Company at the successful completion of this Rights Issue. The maximum number of New Shares and New Options which may be issued under this Rights Issue cannot be calculated precisely until Rights have been determined following the Record Date because of the possibility that the Existing Options (or some of them) may be exercised by the Record Date and due to the rounding up of fractional Entitlements.

6.3 Effect on Existing Shareholders and Optionholders

Qualifying Shareholders who take up their Rights in full will not have their proportionate interest in the Company diluted by this Rights Issue. The proportionate interest of a Qualifying Shareholder who takes up their Entitlement in full and applies for (and is issued) additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) forming part of the Shortfall will increase.

Qualifying Shareholders who do not exercise their Rights in full will have their interest in the Company diluted.

Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders will have their interest in the Company diluted.

Existing Optionholders who do not exercise all or any of their Existing Options before the Record Date will not be entitled to participate in this Rights Issue with respect to those Options (and, if those Options are subsequently exercised, the interest which the Shares issued consequent upon the exercise of the Options will confer in the Company will have been diluted by this Rights Issue).

6.4 Impact on Control

Assuming the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the New Shares will represent 7.69% of the expanded issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue.

The Company’s largest Shareholder, Noble Energy Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Tasman), has indicated to the Company that it intends to take up 100% of its Entitlement (to a total value of $1,158,442). On 1 September 2021 Noble made a short term loan of $500,000 to the Company, which funds are to be used by the Company for working capital. The principal sum and interest thereon (at 8.92% from the date of the advance until repayment in full) are repayable by the Company to Noble from the proceeds of the Rights Issue. Noble’s present intention is that the first $500,000 of the subscription price for its New Shares will not be received by the Company in cash but by way of satisfaction and release of the Company’s existing debt to

18

Noble, with the balance amount of Noble’s Entitlements (of $658,442) to be subscribed by it in cash. The following table summarises the potential increase in Noble’s shareholding in the Company as a result of this Rights Issue.

**On the assumption that this Rights Issue is fully subscribed.

***On the assumption that this Rights Issue is fully subscribed and that Noble (but no other Shareholder) exercises all of the New Options acquired by it under this Rights Issue.

If Noble takes up 100% of its Entitlement and this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, its percentage interest in the Company will not change. If the only Qualifying Shareholders who take up their Entitlements are Noble (as to 100%), Gregory Solomon (as to 100%) and Doug Solomon (as to 100%), Noble’s total shareholding interest in the Company will increase from 30.297% to a maximum of 31.91%. If that occurs, Noble will rely on the exception in item 9 of s.611 of the Corporations Act (which permits an acquisition by a person which will cause their shareholding interest to exceed 20% if throughout the 6 months before the acquisition that person has had voting power in the company of at least 19% and as a result of the acquisition that person would not have voting power in the company more than 3% higher than they had 6 months before the acquisition).

Further if Noble was to subsequently exercise all of the New Options acquired by it under this Rights Issue and it was the only shareholder to exercise any Options, its total shareholding interest in the Company will further increase from 31.91% to a maximum of 32.73 %. If that occurs, Noble will again rely on the exception in item 9 of s.611 of the Corporations Act.

In view of the above, the Offers will not have any material impact on Noble’s shareholding.

Noble does not have any present intention to change the Company’s main activities, business or directors.

6.5 Purpose of this Rights Issue and use of funds raised under this Rights Issue

The gross proceeds to be raised by the Company under this Rights Issue (i.e. before expenses) will be up to approximately $3,823,610 (on the assumption that none of the Existing Options are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date and this Rights Issue is fully subscribed).

This Rights Issue is not underwritten.

The funds raised under this Rights Issue are to augment the existing funds held and ongoing sales revenue to enable the Company (assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed):

  • (a) Firstly, to fund the costs of the Offers;

  • (b) Secondly, to repay the short term loan of $500,000 made by Noble Energy Ltd to the Company; and

  • (c) Thirdly, to provide the Company with sufficient working capital to fund the on-going operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for up to the next 6 months (as particularised in more detail in the table below).

19

If the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, the Company’s expenditure will necessarily be more limited in extent and the Company, depending on the cash flow generated by the Company and its subsidiaries from the sales of its products, will need access to further funding earlier than noted above.

Set out below is a table summarising how, subject to the qualifications below, the Directors intend to apply the proceeds of this Rights Issue against the above three use categories, in each of the following scenarios:

  • (a) this Rights Issue raises $3,823,610 (on the assumption it is fully subscribed).

  • (b) this Rights Issue raises $2,568,315 (being the mid-point between the figures set out in paragraphs (a) and (c)); and

  • (c) this Rights Issue raises approximately $1,313,020 (on the basis that the only Qualifying Shareholders who take up their Entitlements are Noble to the extent specified in clause 6.4 and the DS Entities and GS Entities to the extent specified in section 7.7.1).

  • Costs of the Offers vary due to ASX Listing Fees being calculated on the number of New Shares and New Options issued.

** The general working capital funds will be used to meet:

  • (a) ongoing expenses of the Company in Australia, including director fees, ASX and share registry fees, office accommodation, accounting, secretarial and management services and general administrative expenses; and

  • (b) operating costs as required from time to time for the Company’s US and Indian subsidiaries, including to meet the costs of wages and salaries, interest on the SnowPoint Capital LLC loan, insurances, purchases of plant and equipment, sales and marketing activities and product development and sales support. The rate at which the funds will be required by the US and the Indian subsidiaries is uncertain as it will depend upon the level of revenue that each subsidiary is able to generate from their sales of products and services. This table has been prepared on the assumption that the level of product sales as at the date of this Prospectus remains at current levels.

*** The majority of Eden’s costs are in United States Dollars, and as such, the amounts included in the above table will be subject to change from movements in foreign exchange rates.

Given the speculative nature of the Company’s business, the intended allocation of funds as set out above may change depending upon market conditions.

Based on the information available to it, and its current plans and budgets (and subject to any changes thereto), and provided this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the US $3 million SnowPoint Capital LLC loan is extended for 6 months and the COVID-19 stimulus small business loan is forgiven, the Directors believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due, and fund ongoing working capital requirements for up to 6 months after completion of this Rights Issue. Any significant expansion of EdenCrete® production facilities in Colorado would require additional funds to be raised by the Company.

If the current intention of Noble, Greg Solomon and/or Doug Solomon to take up 100% of their Entitlements changes (for example, due to a significant deterioration in market conditions) the Company’s expenditure will necessarily be more limited in extent and the Company will need access to further funding earlier than noted above.

6.6 Effect on the Company's financial position

Upon the successful completion of this Rights Issue and assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed (and none of the Existing Options are converted into Shares before the Record Date or the closing of this Rights Issue), the Company's cash reserves will increase by approximately $3,823,610, minus Offer expenses.

The unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet set out above has been prepared on the basis and assumption that there has been and will be no material movements in the assets and liabilities of the consolidated entity between 1 July 2021 and the Closing Date other than:

  • the Rights Issue is fully subscribed raising $3,823,610;

  • the receipt of a $500,000 loan from Noble and subsequent repayment of that loan from the Rights Issue proceeds; and

• the accrual of estimated expenses of the Offers of $130,000 is included in "Trade and Other Payables". The unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2021 above is intended to be illustrative only. It does not take into account activities occurring between 1 July 2021 and the date of this Prospectus (or the Closing Date) other than those noted above and as such it does not accurately reflect what the actual balance sheet will be as at the date of this Prospectus or at the completion of this Rights Issue (by way of example, the cash and cash equivalent assets will not be as set out in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet because, amongst other things, no allowance has been made in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet for expenditure incurred in the normal course of business of the consolidated group after 1 July 2021).

7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

7.1 Nature of this Prospectus

This Prospectus is issued under the special prospectus content rules for continuously quoted securities in section 713 of the Corporations Act. That section enables listed disclosing entities to issue a prospectus with less rigorous disclosure requirements if:

  • the securities offered by the prospectus are in a class of securities that have been quoted enhanced disclosure securities at all times in the 3 months before the date of the prospectus or are options to acquire such securities; and

  • the company is not subject to certain exemptions or declarations prescribed by the Corporations Act during the period during which the securities have been quoted or the 12 months before the date of the prospectus (whichever is the shorter period).

Securities are quoted enhanced disclosure securities if:

  • the company is included in the official list of ASX; and

  • the Listing Rules apply to those securities.

The information in this Prospectus principally concerns the terms and conditions of this Rights Issue and the information necessary to make an informed assessment of:

  • the effect of this Rights Issue on the Company; and

  • the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus.

The Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX. This Prospectus does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that was not already listed on a securities exchange. Qualifying Shareholders should therefore also have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to subscribe for New Shares and accompanying New Options.

7.2 Regular reporting and disclosure obligations

The Company is a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act. It is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain limited exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it becomes aware concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of securities in the Company.

As the Company has been listed on ASX since June 2006, a large amount of information concerning the Company has previously been notified to ASX and is therefore publicly available. All announcements made by the Company are available from ASX.

The Company is required to prepare and lodge with ASX both yearly and half yearly financial statements accompanied by a Directors’ statement and report and an auditor’s report. The Company is also required to lodge with ASX quarterly cashflow reports which include details about its cash flows (the most recent of which was lodged at ASX on 28 July 2021).

A summary of the Company’s current and recent activities, transactions and projects and the financial performance and position of the Company is set out in the quarterly activities statement lodged with ASX on 28 July 2021 and subsequent ASX releases.

Copies of documents lodged with ASX in relation to the Company may be obtained from the ASX website.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of ASIC. These documents can also be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.

22

7.3 Right to obtain copies of Company documents

Under section 713(4) of the Corporations Act, any person has the right to obtain from the Company, free of charge, a copy of any of the following documents during the Offer Period:

  • the Company's annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 as lodged with ASIC;

  • the Company’s half-year financial report for the year ended 31 December 2020 as lodged with ASIC;

  • any continuous disclosure notices given by the Company after lodgement of the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 (i.e. on 24 September 2020) and before lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC (i.e. on 1 September 2021). Headlines for such notices are as follows:

The Company will give a copy of any of the above documents, free of charge, to any Eligible Shareholder who asks for them during the Offer Period.

7.4 Constitution and rights and liabilities attaching to Shares

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution, a copy of which can be inspected, free of charge, at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

24

The following is a broad summary of the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to all Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.

All Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus will, from the time they are issued, rank equally with all of the Company’s Existing Shares.

Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares (at present there are none), at meetings of Shareholders of the Company:

  • (a) each Shareholder entitled to attend and vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (b) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote (save that where a Shareholder has appointed more than one person as proxy, attorney or representative, none of the proxies, attorneys or representatives, is entitled to vote, and where a Shareholder is present in more than one capacity, that Shareholder is entitled only to one vote); and

  • (c) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder shall, in respect of each Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid shares, shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion of the amount paid up or agreed to be considered as paid up on the total issue price of that Share at the time the poll is taken bears to the total issue price of the Share.

Rights on winding up

If the Company is wound up, whether voluntary or otherwise, the liquidator may divide among all or any of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit in specie or kind any part of the assets of the Company, and may vest any part of the assets of the Company in trustees on any trusts for the benefit of all or any of the contributes as the liquidator thinks fit. Any division may be otherwise than in accordance with the legal rights of the contributories and, in particular, any class may be given preferential or special rights or may be excluded altogether or in part, but if any division otherwise than in accordance with legal rights of the contributories is determined, any contributory who would be prejudiced by the division has a right to dissent and ancillary rights as if the determination were a special resolution passed under the Corporations Act relating to the sale or transfer of the Company’s assets in a voluntary winding up.

Transfer of shares

Subject to the constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and any other laws, Shares are freely transferable.

Future increases in capital

The allotment and issue of any Shares is under the control of the Board. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules, the constitution of the Company and the Corporations Act, the Directors may allot or otherwise dispose of Shares on such terms and conditions as they see fit.

Variation of rights

Under the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders, vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares. If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of the issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company and with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of holders of shares issued with special, preferential or qualified rights (at present there are none), the profits of the Company that the Directors determine to distribute by way of dividend are divisible among the holders of Shares and is payable on each Share on the basis of the proportion which the

25

amount paid is of the total amounts paid, agreed to be considered to be paid or payable on the Share. A dividend may be declared at a rate per annum in respect of a specified period but no amount paid on a Share in advance of calls is to be treated as paid on that Share.

7.5 Rights and liabilities attaching to New Options

The New Options will be issued on the following terms and conditions.

  • (1) The Options are exercisable at any time prior to 5.00pm WST on 7 October 2024 ("the Time of Expiry"). Options not exercised on or before the Time of Expiry will automatically lapse.

  • (2) The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by completing a notice of exercise of options substantially in the form attached to the option certificate ("Notice of Exercise") to be delivered to the Company's registered office and received by it any time prior to the Time of Expiry.

  • (3) The Options entitle the holder to subscribe (in respect of each Option held) for one Share at an exercise price per Option of $0.05.

  • (4) Upon the exercise of the Options and receipt of all relevant documents and payment, Shares will be issued ranking equally with the then issued Shares. If at the date of exercise of the Options the Shares of the Company are quoted on the ASX, the Company will apply to ASX to have the Shares so issued granted Quotation.

  • (5) A summary of the terms and conditions of the Options including the Notice of Exercise will be sent to all holders of Options when they are issued.

  • (6) Any Notice of Exercise received by the Company prior to the Time of Expiry will be deemed to be a Notice of Exercise as at the last Business Day of the month in which such notice is received.

  • (7) There are no participating entitlements inherent in the Options to participate in new issues of capital, which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. Prior to any new pro rata issue of securities to Shareholders, holders of Options will be notified by the Company and will be afforded 10 business days before the Record Date (as defined in the Listing Rules) (to determine entitlements to the issue), to exercise Options.

  • (8) In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Time of Expiry, the number of Options or the exercise price of the Options or both shall be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on holders of Options which are not being conferred on Shareholders and (subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of Shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital), in all respects, the terms for the exercise of Options shall remain unchanged. For these purposes the rights of the Option holder may be changed from time to time to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of reorganisation.

  • (9) The Options may be transferred at any time prior to the Time of Expiry.

  • (10) Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be issued not more than 14 days after the Notice of Exercise.

  • 7.6 Existing Options, Performance Rights and Incentive Shares

The Company currently has on issue 69,394,506 unlisted Options. The expiry date and exercise price of the Existing Options is as follows:

ions is as follows:
Number Exercise Price Per Option Expiry Date

In addition, the Company has on issue 27,304,014 performance rights under the Company’s Performance Rights Plan to its employees and consultants.

26

Each performance right entitles the holder to be issued with one Share at a future point in time subject to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions. No exercise price is payable by the holder. The performance rights are not quoted . Performance rights will automatically lapse in the circumstances set out in the Performance Rights Plan, including where the holder ceases to be an employee or consultant of the Company.

The vesting condition and expiry date of the performance rights are as follows:

  • (a) the promotion or formation of the Company;

  • (b) property acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Company in connection with its promotion or formation or the offer of New Shares and New Options under this Prospectus; or

7.7.1 Shareholdings of Directors

As at the date of this Prospectus all of the directors (either personally, or through associated companies or trusts) hold Shares in the Company. Two of the directors, Gregory Solomon and Douglas Solomon are Qualifying Shareholders and will therefore receive Rights to subscribe for New Shares (and accompanying New Options) pursuant to this Rights Issue.

  • (b) Doug Solomon has indicated that the DS Entities currently intend to take up 100% of their Entitlements.

The relevant interest of each of the Directors in the Shares of the Company as at the date of this Prospectus, and assuming (in the case of Gregory Solomon and Douglas Solomon) they take up their Entitlements in the manner indicated above, is as follows:

Director Shares Held Options Held
GregorySolomon 114,165,258 5,263,549
Douglas Solomon 117,744,018 7,900,579

28

Nothing in this Prospectus will be taken to preclude any of the Directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of their subsidiary companies or Tasman who are Qualifying Shareholders from applying for New Shares and accompanying New Options on the terms which are offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

As stated in section 6.4 above, it is not anticipated that the Offer will have any effect on the future of the Company, as none of the current Directors of the Company (nor, to the knowledge of the Directors, their associated companies) have any present intention to change the Company’s main activities, business or direction.

7.7.2 Directors' remuneration

Non-executive directors’ fees not exceeding an aggregate of $260,000 per annum have been approved by the Company in general meeting. Levels of these fees may be varied by the Company in general meeting according to its constitution at any time. The Company is currently paying nonexecutive directors' fees of $54,000 per annum (plus 9.5% superannuation, in the case of Doug Solomon) for each non-executive director. In addition, the two non-executive directors who are based in the United States, Dr Stephen Dunmead and Lazaros Nikeas, are each entitled to be issued (as part of their remuneration package) with $32,000 worth of Shares annually in July each year.

The remuneration of any executive director will be fixed by the Directors and may be paid by way of fixed salary or based on agreed hourly rates according to time spent, up to an agreed maximum amount. At the date of this Prospectus, the Company has resolved to pay to Gregory Solomon an annual fee of $300,000 plus 9.5% superannuation for acting as executive chairman.

7.7.3 Directors’ and officers’ indemnity

In accordance with the Company's constitution and to the extent permitted by law, the Company must indemnify each Director and other officers of the Company out of the assets of the Company to the relevant extent against any liability incurred by them in or arising out of the conduct of the business of the Company or in or arising out of the discharge of the duties of the officer, unless the liability was incurred by the officer through his or her own dishonesty, negligence, lack of good faith or breach of duty.

7.7.4 Other Interests of Directors

Gregory Solomon and Douglas Solomon are partners in the legal firm Solomon Brothers that will receive legal fees of approximately $15,000 (plus disbursements, plus GST) for services performed in relation to the preparation of this Prospectus. Please see section 7.8 of this Prospectus for further details of the legal fees which have been paid to Solomon Brothers in the 2 year period prior to the date of this Prospectus.

Further, the Company has engaged the services of Princebrook Pty Ltd, a company of which Gregory Solomon and Douglas Solomon are shareholders and directors, to provide office accommodation, use of office equipment, accounting, secretarial and management services to the Company at a current cost of $23,809.53 per month plus GST plus an administration fee of $1,190.47 per month plus GST. The term of this contract commenced on 1 January 2015 and continues until terminated by either party giving three months’ notice of termination to the other, which notice may be given at any time (or until terminated consequent upon the other party’s default).

Further, in the financial years ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020, the Company engaged the services of Dunmead Global Solutions LLC, a company associated with Dr Stephen Dunmead, to provide consultancy services to the Company at a total cost of approximately $338,800.

7.8 Interests of named persons

Other than as set out below or elsewhere in this Prospectus, no person named in this Prospectus as performing a function in a professional, advisory or other capacity in connection with the preparation or distribution of this Prospectus, promoter or stockbroker to the Company has, or had within two years before lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC, any interest in:

(a) the formation or promotion of the Company;

29

  • (b) any property acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Company in connection with its formation or promotion or in connection with the offer of New Shares and New Options under this Prospectus; or

7.12 Australian and New Zealand taxation implications

The acquisition and disposal of New Shares and New Options in the Company will have tax consequences in both Australia and New Zealand that will differ depending upon the individual financial affairs of each Qualifying Shareholder. The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to give Qualifying Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares and New Options under this Prospectus. All Qualifying Shareholders applying for New Shares and New Options are therefore first urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring the New Shares and New Options from a taxation viewpoint and generally. Qualifying Shareholders should consult their own professional tax advisers in connection with subscribing for New Shares and New Options under this Prospectus.

7.13 Litigation

The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation or arbitration proceedings, nor, so far as the Directors are aware, are any such proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.
