(a) an offer of 142,666,666 Shares at an issue price of $0.015 per Share pursuant to the Investor Offer ( Investor Shares );
8
5961-01/3167172_10
-
(b) an offer of 26,666,667 Shares at an issue price of $0.015 per Share together with 12,500,000 free attaching Tranche 1 Options and 12,500,000 free attaching Tranche 2 Options pursuant to the Steinepreis Offer;
-
(c) an offer of 16,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.015 per Share together with 12,500,000 free attaching Tranche 1 Options and 12,500,000 free attaching Tranche 2 Options pursuant to the Castleden Offer;
-
(d) offer of 8,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.015 per Share to Geoff Albers; and

The participation of Mr Steinepreis, Mr Castleden and Mr Albers are subject to Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, separate approvals are being sought for the issue of the Securities under the Placement to Mr Steinepreis, Mr Castleden and Mr Albers under Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 respectively.
The issue of Securities under the Neuling Offer is subject to Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, Accordingly, Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Securities under the Placement to Mr Neuling.
As set out in Section 1.4 above, in connection with the Placement, the Company had engaged the services of Canaccord and Argonaut to act as joint brokers to the Placement ( Brokers ). The material terms of the Broker engagements are set out in Schedule 1 to this Notice.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Investor Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Investor Shares. In addition, the issue of the Investor Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company may not be able to proceed with the issue of the Investor Shares.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Investor Shares.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
9
5961-01/3167172_10

-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company,
-
(c) the maximum number of Investor Shares to be issued is 142,666,666 Shares. The Investor Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(d) the Investor Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Investor Shares will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the Investor Shares will be $0.015 per Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Investor Shares;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Investor Shares is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1.5;
-
(g) the Investor Shares are being issued to sophisticated, professional and third-party investors under the Placement. A summary of the material terms of the Placement is set out in Section 1.2; and
-
(h) the Investor Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
4.4 Dilution
Assuming no Options are exercised, no convertible securities are converted or other Shares issued and the maximum number of Investor Shares are issued, the number of Shares on issue would increase from 168,916,018 (being the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 311,582,684 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 45.79%.
Additionally, if Resolutions 4 to 7 are passed, and assuming no Options are exercised, no convertible securities are converted or other Shares issued and the maximum number of Shares pursuant to each of the Secondary Offers are issued, the number of Shares on issue would increase from 168,916,018 (being the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 368,916,018 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 54.21%.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 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 Participation will result in the issue of the Related Party Securities which constitutes giving a financial benefit, and Roger Steinepreis and Nick Castleden are related parties of the Company as Roger Steinepreis and Nick Castleden have reasonable grounds to believe they are likely to become Directors of the Company in the future.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the issue of the Related Party Securities to be issued to Roger Steinepreis and Nick Castleden (or their nominees) was negotiated on an arm’s length basis and otherwise on commerical terms.

5.3 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:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder 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;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 4 and Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
5.4
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Securities under the Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.5 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 4 and Resolution 5 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Securities under the Placement.
5.5 Technical 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 Resolution 4 and Resolution 5:
-
(a) the Related Party Securities will be issued to the Related Party Participants and will be comprised of the Shares and Options set out in the table in Section 5.1;
-
(b) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
12
5961-01/3167172_10
-

-
(d) the Related Party Securities will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price will be $0.015 per Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued to other participants in the Placement. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;
-
(f) the issue price for the Options will be nil as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares and were negotiated on an arm’s length basis and otherwise on commercial terms. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Related Party Securities in respect of the Participation (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);
-
(g) the purpose of the issue of the Related Party Securities under the Participation is to raise capital, which the Company intends use in the manner set out in Section 1.5 above;
-
(h) the Shares and Options to be issued under the Participation are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Related Party Participants;
-
(i) the Related Party Securities are being issued under a placement agreement, the terms of which are set out in Section 1.2; and
-
(j) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 4 and 5 of the Notice.
6. RESOLUTION 6 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTY – GEOFF ALBERS
6.1 General
As set out in Section 1.3 above, current director, Geoff Albers, wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Investor Offer ( Director Participation ).
Accordingly, Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 8,000,000 Shares to Geoff Albers (or his nominee), as a result of the Director Participation on the terms set out below.
Geoff Albers (through his direct and indirect holdings) currently holds an interest in 29.20% of the voting power of the Company. Following completion of the Placement, and assuming full subscription of the Investor Offer and the Secondary Offers, Geoff Albers interest will decrease to 15.54%.
6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
- (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
13
5961-01/3167172_10
- (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 Director Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Geoff Albers, is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Geoff Albers who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Shares will be issued to Geoff Albers (or his nominee) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 5.3 above.
The Director Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and 10.11.3 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the Director Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
6.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Director Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.4 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Director Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Director Participation.
6.4 Technical 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 Resolution 6:
-
(a) the Shares will be issued to Geoff Albers (or his nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Geoff Albers is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.3, as Geoff Albers (through his direct and indirect holdings) currently holds an interest in 29.20% of the voting power of the Company;
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Geoff Albers (or his nominee) is 8,000,000;

(e)
Notice of Exercise
The Options may be exercised during the Exercise Period by notice in writing to the Company in the manner specified on the Option certificate ( Notice of Exercise ) and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in Australian currency by electronic funds transfer or other means of payment acceptable to the Company.
(f)
Exercise Date
A Notice of Exercise is only effective on and from the later of the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the date of receipt of the payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in cleared funds ( Exercise Date ).
(g)
Timing of issue of Shares on exercise
Within five Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:
-
(i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company;
-
(ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the
20
5961-01/3167172_10
Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and
- (iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.
If a notice delivered under (g)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.
(h) Shares issued on exercise

If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options without exercising the Options.
(k) Change in exercise price

(l) Cashless Exercise
This clause applies to the Options to be issued to Roger Steinepreis, Nick Castleden and Alex Neuling, or their nominees. The holder of an Option may elect not to be required to provide payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Options specified in a Notice of Exercise but that on exercise of those Options the Company will transfer or issue to the holder that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the then Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the Exercise Price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Options (with the number of Shares rounded down to the nearest whole Share).
For the purposes of this clause Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding that given date.
By way of example, if an Optionholder held 1 million options with an Exercise Price of 2 cents each, and the Market Value immediately preceding that date was calculated as 10 cents, the positive difference in the Market Value of the Shares is 1 million x 10 cents ($100,000) less 1 million x 2 cents ($20,000), being $80,000 of Shares. At this price of 10 cents per Share, being the Market Value, the number
21
5961-01/3167172_10
of Shares to be transferred or issued to the Optionholder is $80,000 divided by 10 cents, equals 800,000 Shares.
(m) Transferability
The Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.
