Voting and attendance information

Shareholders should read the Notice including the Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

2.1

Impact of COVID-19 on the Meeting

The health and safety of members and personnel, and other stakeholders, is the highest priority and the Company is acutely aware of the current circumstances resulting from COVID19.

Page 6

Based on the best information available to the Board at the time of the Notice, the Board considers it will be in a position to hold an 'in-person' meeting to provide Shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to participate in and vote at the Meeting, while complying with the COVID-19 restrictions regarding gatherings. The Company, however, strongly encourages Shareholders to submit proxies prior to the Meeting.

If the situation in relation to COVID-19 were to change in a way that affected the position above, the Company will provide a further update ahead of the Meeting by releasing an ASX announcement.

2.2 Voting in person

To vote in person, attend the Meeting on the date and at the place set out above.

2.3 Voting by proxy

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

Please note that:

  • (i) a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;

  • (ii) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • (iii) a member of the Company 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, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms .

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • (i) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed);

  • (ii) if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;

  • (iii) if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • (iv) if the proxy is not the Chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • (i) an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members;

Page 7

  • (v) the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting;

  • (vi) at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • (vii) either the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting or the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the Chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

2.4 Chair's voting intentions

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1 by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

2.5 Voting Prohibition by Proxy Holders (Remuneration of Key Management Personnel)

In accordance with sections 250BD and 250R of the Corporations Act, votes on Resolution 1 must not be cast (in any capacity) by, or on behalf of:

  • (a) a member of the Key Management Personnel; or

  • (b) a Closely Related Party of such member.

However, a person described above may cast votes on Resolution 1 if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person who is excluded from voting on the relevant Resolution and:

  • (a) the person is appointed as proxy by writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the Resolution; or

  • (b) the person is the Chair and the appointment of the Chair as proxy does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution, but expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

4.1 General

In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and nonexecutive Directors.

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at

Page 9

which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2021 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

4.2

Board recommendation

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

Given the personal interests of all Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Professor Sir John Tooke

5.1 General

Article 7.6(a) of the Constitution allows the Board to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Pursuant to Article 7.6(c) of the Constitution, any Director so appointed holds office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company but is eligible for election by Shareholders at that meeting.

In addition, Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a Director appointed as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting.

On 12 February 2020, Professor Sir John Tooke was appointed as a non-executive Director of the Company.

Accordingly, Professor Sir John Tooke resigns as a Director at the Meeting and, being eligible, seeks approval to be elected as a Director pursuant to Resolution 2.

If elected, the Board considers Professor Sir John Tooke to be an independent Director.

5.2

Professor Sir John Tooke

Sir Tooke is a Clinician Scientist with over 30 years’ experience as a consultant physician specialising in diabetes, endocrinology, vascular medicine and internal medicine with broad research experience (basic biomedical, experimental medicine and applied health research including improvement science) recognised through the Fellowship of Academy of Medical Sciences.

5.3 Board recommendation

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Professor Sir John Tooke) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1

General

Listing Rule 7.1 limits the ability of a listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities over a 12 month period which exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary Shares it had on issue at the start of the 12 month period ( Relevant Period ).

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary Shares it had on the issue at the start of the Relevant Period through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to provide the Company the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) below). The number of Equity Securities to be

Page 11

issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

6.2

Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Is the Company an eligible entity?

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $17.75 million, based on the closing price of Shares $0.084 on 5 October 2020.

If on the date of the Meeting, the Company's market capitalisation exceeds $300 million or it has been included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, this Resolution 3 will be withdrawn.

(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the eligible entity.

As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities; Shares.

(c) How many Equity Securities can be issued?

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Facility, the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months:

    • (1) under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exception 9, 16 or 17);

    • (2) on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

      • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the 12 month period; or

      • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

Page 12

  • (3) under an agreement to issue securities within Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • the agreement was entered into before the 12 month period; or

    • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to be approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4; and

  • (4) with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include any issue of Shares under the Company's 15% annual placement capacity without Shareholder approval;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months; and

  • (C) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that 'A' has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

  • D

  • is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d)

What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?

The Company's ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

(e)

At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,

( Minimum Issue Price ).

Page 13

(f) When can Equity Securities be issued?

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of Meeting and will expire on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

(g) What is the effect of Resolution 3?

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors of the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in the Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company will therefore remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:

(a) Final date for issue

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) above).

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid if Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.

(b)

Minimum issue price

Where the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, it will only do so for cash consideration and the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price (refer to Section 6.2(e) above).

(c) Purposes of issues under 10% Placement Facility

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for cash consideration in order to raise funds for continued investment in the

Page 14

Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and/or for general working capital.

(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares).

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 6.2(c) above) as at the date of the Notice ( Variable A ), with:

  • (i) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Notes:

  1. The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  2. (a) the issue price is the current market price $0.084, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 5 October 2020, being the latest practicable date before finalising this Notice;

  3. (b) Variable A is 211,402,778, comprising:

    • (i) 183,902,778 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4; and

    • (ii) a total of 27,500,000 Shares issued if Resolution 34 is passed at the Meeting.

  4. (c) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;

  5. (d) no convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities; and

  6. (e) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Quoted Options, it is assumed that those Quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  7. The number of Shares on issue (ie Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.

  8. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  10. The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Page 16

(e) Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the following factors including but not limited to:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new investors who are not related parties of or associates of a related party of the Company.

(f) Issue of Equity Securities in the past 12 months

The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

(g) Voting exclusion statement

At the date of the Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in any such issue.

However, in the event that between the date of the Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.

6.4 Board recommendation

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7. Resolution 4 – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares

7.1 General

On 28 August 2020, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $2,200,000 before costs by the issue of 27,500,000 Shares

Page 17

at an issue price of $0.08 each ( Placement Shares ) to professional and sophisticated investors.

On 7 September 2020, the Company issued the Placement Shares using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares.

7.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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.

The issue of Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, the issue of Placement Shares effectively uses up part of the Company's placement capacity under each of Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that Listing Rule for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in an annual general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous 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.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4 will be to restore the Company's ability to issue further Equity Securities, to the extent of 27,500,000 Equity Securities, during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

In the event that Resolution 4 is not passed, the Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval to the extent of 27,500,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.

7.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company. The subscribers were either known to the Company, or introduced to the Company by Euroz Securities Limited who acted as the lead manager ( Lead Manager ). None of the subscribers are considered to be Material Investors;

  • (b) a total of 27,500,000 Placement Shares were issued on 7 September 2020 under Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (c) the Placement Shares were issued at $0.08 per Share raising approximately $2,200,000 (before costs);

Page 18

  • (d) the Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (e) the proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares are intended to be applied towards:

  • (i) progress expansion of clinical services;

  • (ii) research and development activities;

  • (iii) marketing and business development;

  • (iv) corporate overheads;

  • (v) working capital; and

  • (vi) cost associated with the Placement;

  • (f) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement, however:

  • (i) the placees entered into binding commitment letters with the Lead Manager; and

  • (ii) the Company entered into a mandate with the Lead Manager, the terms of which are disclosed in the Company's Proposed issue of Securities announcement of 28 August 2020; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7.4 Board recommendation

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

8. Resolution 5 – Approval to issue Options to Directors

8.1 General

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval to issue up to a total of 8,500,000 Options to Dr Michael Winlo, Dr Alistair Vickery, Mr Matt Callahan and Professor Sir John Tooke ( Related Parties ), or their respective nominees, as follows:

Related Party Options
Dr Michael Winlo 4,000,000
Dr Alistair Vickery 2,000,000
Mr Matt Callahan 1,500,000
Professor Sir John Tooke 1,000,000
TOTAL 8,500,000

Page 19

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue seeks to align the efforts of the Directors in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Options is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Options to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

The Options are to be issued under the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ), the terms of which are summarised in Schedule 2 to this Notice.

Subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2, the Options will vest as follows:

  • (a) 33.33% on the date of the issue of the Options;

  • (b) 33.33% one year from the date of the issue of the Options; and

  • (c) the balance two years from the date of the issue of the Options.

Resolution 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 and section 208 of the Corporations Act for the issue of up to 8,500,000 Options under the Plan to Dr Michael Winlo, Dr Alistair Vickery, Mr Matt Callahan and Professor Sir John Tooke (or their respective nominees).

8.2

Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 10.11 is not required.

If Resolution 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 8,500,000 Options to Dr Michael Winlo, Dr Alistair Vickery, Mr Matt Callahan and Professor Sir John Tooke (or their respective nominees).

If Resolution 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of up to 8,500,000 Options to Dr Michael Winlo, Dr Alistair Vickery, Mr Matt Callahan and Professor Sir John Tooke (or their respective nominees) and the Company may consider other forms of performance-based remuneration, including by the payment of cash.

8.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Options:

  • (a) the Options will be issued under the Plan to Dr Michael Winlo, Dr Alistair Vickery, Mr Matt Callahan and Professor Sir John Tooke (or their respective nominees), each of whom is a Director of the Company;

  • (b) Dr Michael Winlo, Dr Alistair Vickery, Mr Matt Callahan and Professor Sir John Tooke are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors and fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1;

Page 20

  • (c) the maximum number of Options to be issued to the Related Parties (or their respective nominees) is 8,500,000 in the proportions set out in Section 8.1 above;

  • (d) the current total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties as at the date of this Notice are set out below:

Resolution Related Party Salary and fees exclusive
of superannuation
5(a) Dr Michael Winlo1 $375,000
5(b) Dr Alistair Vickery2 $375,000
5(c) Mr Matt Callahan3 $50,000
5(d) Professor Sir John Tooke4 $50,000

Notes:

  1. During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, Dr Michael Winlo was issued 3,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.45 on or before 13 June 2023. An annual bonus of $87,500 (payable in cash), subject to the satisfaction of short term incentive hurdles to be determined by the Board and communicated to Dr Winlo.

  2. During the financial year ended 30 June 2019, Dr Alistair Vickery was issued 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.45 on or before 13 June 2023. An annual bonus of $87,500 (payable in cash), subject to the satisfaction of short term incentive hurdles to be determined by the Board and communicated to Dr Vickery.

  3. In addition to his Director’s fees Mr Callahan may be paid USD300 per hour for consulting services not considered part of his duties as a Director.

  4. During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, Professor Sir John Tooke was issued 500,000 Options exercisable at $0.45 on or before 13 June 2023. In addition to his Director’s fees Sir Tooke may be paid GBP2,500 per day for consulting services not considered part of his duties as a Director.

  5. (e) the Related Parties have not previously been issued Securities under the Plan

  6. (f) the Options will be exercisable at a fixed price which will be 1.45 times the 5-day VWAP each on or before the date of issue and will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2. The Options will expire 4 years from the date of issue;

  7. (g) The grant of Options to Dr Winlo and Dr Vickery or their respective nominees encourages Dr Winlo, as Managing Director and Dr Vickery as an executive Director, to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through Share ownership. Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider (in the absence of Dr Winlo and Dr Vickery as it relates to their interest in the outcome of Resolution 5) that the incentives intended for

Page 21

Dr Winlo and Dr Vickery represented by the grant of these Options are a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and an incentive, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash compensation.

  • (h) Additionally, under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider (in the absence of Mr Callahan and Sir Tooke as it relates to their interest in the outcome of Resolution 5) that the grant of Options represents a cost effective way for the Company to remunerate Mr Callahan and Sir Tooke, as opposed to cash remuneration.

  • (i) The Company's advisers have valued the Options to be granted to Dr Michael Winlo, Dr Alistair Vickery, Mr Matt Callahan and Professor Sir John Tooke (or their respective nominees) using the Black – Scholes Model at $0.037 per Option. The value of an Option calculated by the Black – Scholes Model is a function of a number of variables. The valuation of the Options has been prepared using the following assumptions:

Option calculated by the Black – Scholes Model
The valuation of the Options has been prepared
is a function of a number of variables.
using the following assumptions:
Variable Input
Share price $0.084
Exercise price $0.117
Risk Free Interest Rate 0.32%
Volatility 70%
Time (years to expiry) 4

The indicative option valuation of $0.037 is a theoretical valuation of each Plan Option using the Black - Scholes methodology. Any change in the variables applied in the Black – Scholes calculation between the date of the valuation and the date the Plan Options are granted would have an impact on their value.

  • (j) the Options will be issued no later than 3 years from the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (k) the Options will have an issue price of nil as they will be issued as part of each Related Parties' remuneration package;

  • (l) a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2;

  • (m) no loan will be provided to the Related Parties in relation to the issue of the Options;

  • (n) details of any Options issued under the Plan will be published in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14;

  • (o) any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Options under the Plan after Resolution 5 is approved at the Meeting and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14; and

  • (p) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Page 22

8.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The grant of the Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

Dr Stewart Washer, who does not have a material personal interest in the Resolutions that form part of Resolution 5 considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of the Options due to the exceptions in sections 210 and 211 of the Corporations Act as the agreement to grant the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Dr Michael Winlo, Dr Alistair Vickery, Mr Matt Callahan and Professor Sir John Tooke, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on arm's length terms.

8.5 Board recommendation

Each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

Mr Stewart Washer, who does not have a material personal interest in the Resolutions that form part of Resolution 5 recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

Schedule 2 Terms and Conditions of Employee Securities Incentive Plan

1. Summary of the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan

The Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) was adopted by the Board on 28 November 2019. The full terms of the Plan may be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours.

A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out below:

(a) Eligible Participant

Eligible Participant means a person that:

  • (i) is an 'eligible participant' (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000); and

  • (ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

(b) Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Company, by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

(c) Plan administration

The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

(d) Eligibility, invitation and application

  • (i) The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Shares on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

  • (ii) On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.

Page 26

  • (iii) If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

(e)

Grant of Securities

The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Eligible Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

(f) Terms of Convertible Securities

Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, an Eligible Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. An Eligible Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. An Eligible Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

(g) Vesting of Convertible Securities

Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Eligible Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

(h) Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise

To exercise a Convertible Security, the Eligible Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Eligible Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Eligible Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Page 27

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

(i) Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities

As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by an Eligible Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Eligible Participant the number of Shares to which the Eligible Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Eligible Participant.

(j)

Forfeiture of Convertible Securities

Where an Eligible Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Eligible Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that an Eligible Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Company, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Eligible Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

  • (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

  • (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

(k) Change of control

If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Eligible Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Eligible Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

(l) Rights attaching to Plan Shares

All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to an Eligible Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. An Eligible Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of

Page 28

Plan Shares. An Eligible Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

(m) Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares

If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by an Eligible Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Eligible Participant with this restriction.

For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Eligible Participant will not:

  • (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or

  • (ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

(n)

Adjustment of Convertible Securities

If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Eligible Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

(o) Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

(p) Amendment of Plan

Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

Page 29

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Eligible Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Eligible Participants.

(q) Plan duration

The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Eligible Participants.

If an Eligible Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Eligible Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Eligible Participant.
