3. Resolution 1– Ratification of issue of Placement Shares

  • 3.1

General

On 31 October 2022, the Company announced a capital raising of $3,000,000 (before costs). The capital raising is comprised of the following two tranches:

  • (a) the issue of 15,833,333 Shares to unrelated parties at an issue price of $0.18 per Share ( Placement Shares ), with one free-attaching Option for every two Placement Shares issued ( Placement Options ); and

  • (b) the issue of 833,333 Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees) at an issue price of $0.18 per Share ( Director Placement Shares ), with one free-attaching Option for every two Director Placement Shares issued ( Director Placement Options ),

(collectively, the Placement ).

On 22 November 2022, the Company issued the Placement Shares using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares.

Page 7

3.2 Listing Rules 7.1A and 7.4

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its 2022 annual general meeting.

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

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

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1 is passed, 15,833,333 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, 15,833,333 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 15,833,333 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Placement Shares (and assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).

3.3

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 new and existing strategic and cornerstone investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company. No Material Investors participated in the Placement, other than:

  • (i) Tattarang Tenmile Ventures was issued 2,777,778 Placement Shares and is a Material Investor of the Company by virtue of its substantial shareholding. As at the date of this Notice, Tattarang Tenmile Ventures and its associates hold a voting power of ~22,777,778 Shares (representing approximately 7.83% as at the date of this Notice); and

  • (ii) The Lead Manager was issued 5,555,556 Placement Shares and is a Material Investor of the Company by virtue of being an adviser to the Company.

Page 8

The participants in the Placement, other than the Material Investors, were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company and clients of the Lead Manager.

  • (b) 15,833,333 Placement Shares were issued within the Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, without the need for Shareholder approval.

  • (c) 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.

  • (d) The Placement Shares were issued on 22 November 2022.

  • (e) The Placement Shares were issued at $0.18 each.

  • (f) The proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares have been and are intended to be used to accelerate the Company’s Ultra-Pure cannabinoid registration programs with the TGA, support commercialisation activities and advance multiple preclinical screening programs for the Company’s novel MDMA-inspired drug discovery program being developed with the University of Western Australia.

  • (g) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Placement Shares.

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

3.4 Additional information

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

4. Resolution 2 – Ratification of issue of Placement Options

4.1 General

The background to the issue of the Placement Options is in Section 3.1 above.

On 22 November 2022, the Company issued the Placement Options using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Options.

4.2

Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4

Broadly speaking, 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.

The issue of the Placement Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity

Page 9

to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Options.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is in Section 3.2 above.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 2 is passed, 7,916,661 Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, 7,916,661 Placement Options 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 7,916,661 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Options.

4.3

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 Options:

  • (a) The Placement Options were issued to new and existing strategic and cornerstone investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company. No Material Investors participated in the Placement, other than:

  • (i) Tattarang Tenmile Ventures was issued 1,388,889 Placement Options and is a Material Investor of the Company by virtue of its substantial shareholding. As at the date of this Notice, Tattarang Tenmile Ventures and its associates hold a voting power of ~22,777,778 Shares (representing approximately 7.83% as at the date of this Notice); and

  • (ii) The Lead Manager was issued 2,777,778 Placement Options and is a Material Investor of the Company by virtue of being an adviser to the Company.

The participants in the Placement, other than the Material Investors, were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company and clients of the Lead Manager.

  • (b) 7,916,661 Placement Options were issued within the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.

  • (c) The Placement Options are exercisable at $0.35 each and expire 3 years from the date of issue. The Placement Options are otherwise subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.

  • (d) The Placement Options were issued on 22 November.

  • (e) The Placement Options were issued for nil cash consideration as they are freeattaching to the Placement Shares. Accordingly, no funds were raised by their issue.

Page 10

  • (f) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 3.3(f) above. No additional funds will be raised by the issue of the Placement Options.

  • (g) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Placement Options.

4.4 Additional information

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

5. Resolution 3 – Approval of issue of Director Placement Securities

5.1

General

The background to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities is in Section 3.1 above.

Resolution 3(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and section 195(4) of the Corporations Act for the issue of up to 833,333 Director Placement Shares and 416,667 Director Placement Options (together, the Director Placement Securities ) to the Directors (or their respective nominees).

The Directors have committed a total of $150,000 under the Placement. The Director Placement Securities will be issued in the following proportions:

Director Amount committed
to the Placement
Director Placement
Shares
Director Placement
Options
Dr Stewart Washer $60,000 333,333 166,667
Dr Karen Smith $15,000 83,333 41,667
Dr Alistair Vickery $25,000 138,889 69,444
Matt Callahan $10,000 55,556 27,778
Dr Michel Winlo $40,000 222,222 111,111

Page 11

5.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).

The Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Securities as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Placement Securities to the Directors (or their respective nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Securities, raising $150,000 (before costs).

If Resolution 3(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Securities, and will not receive the additional $150,000 committed by the Directors.

5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities:

  • (a) The Director Placement Securities will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees).

  • (b) The Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors of the Company.

  • (c) A maximum of 833,333 Director Placement Shares and 416,667 Director Placement Options will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) in the manner and form set out in Section 5.1 above.

Page 12

  • (d) The Director Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue. The Director Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.35 each and will expire 3 years from the date of issue. The Director Placement Options are subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.

  • (e) The Director Placement Securities will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (f) The Director Placement Shares are proposed to be issued at an issue price of $0.18 each, being the same price at which the Placement Shares were issued. The Director Placement Options are proposed to be issued for nil cash consideration as they are free-attaching to the Director Placement Shares. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Placement Options.

  • (g) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 3.3(f) above. No additional funds will be raised by the issue of the Director Placement Options.

  • (h) The proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors.

  • (i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities.

  • (j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.4 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 proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Securities because the Securities will be issued on the same terms as those Securities issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

5.5 Additional information

Each of the resolutions which forms part of Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to each of the resolutions which form part of Resolution 3 due to their personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.

Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 4.2 above.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Lead Manager Options and will have to consider alternative commercial means to pay the Lead Manager for its services, which may include issuing the Lead Manager Options using any available 15% placement capacity permitted under Listing Rule 7.1.
