EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Purpose of this Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement is provided to Shareholders to explain the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at Suite 68, 283 Given Terrace, Paddington Qld 4064 on 10 March 2021 at 10.00 am AEST.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

For proxies without voting instructions that are exercisable by the Chairman, the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each Resolution . If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy with a direction to vote against, or to abstain from voting on an item of business, you should specify this by completing the appropriate ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ box on the proxy appointment form. The Chairman is deemed to be appointed where a signed proxy form is returned which does not contain the name of the proxy or where the person appointed on the form is absent.

Resolution 1 – Ratification of the issue of Shares to Acuity Capital

Background to Resolution 1:

On 29 October 2019 the Company entered into a controlled placement agreement ( CPA ) with Acuity Capital Management Pty Ltd.

The CPA provides the Company with up to $3 million of standby equity capital over the period to 31 January 2022. The Company retains full control of all aspects of the placement process, having sole discretion as to whether or not to utilise the CPA, the quantum of issued shares, the minimum issue price of shares and the timing of each placement tranche (if any). There are no requirements on the Company to utilise the CPA and it may terminate the CPA at any time, without cost or penalty. Acuity Capital and the CPA do not place any restrictions at any time on the Company raising capital through other methods. If the Company does decide to utilise the CPA, it is able to set a floor price (at its sole discretion) and the final issue price will be calculated as the greater of that floor price set by the Company and a 10% discount to a volume weighted average price over a period of the Company’s choosing (again at its sole discretion).

On 26 October 2020, the Company announced it had utilised the CPA and issued 68.7 million shares to raise $650,000.

Listing Rules:

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue or agreement to issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

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