2. RESOLUTION 1 AND RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 SHARES TO TRANCHE 1 PARTICIPANTS – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

2.1 General

On 25 August 2022, the Company issued 12,900,000 Tranche 1 Shares to the Tranche 1 Participants at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise $2,580,000 (before costs).

The Tranche 1 Shares were issued under to the Company’s placement capacity as follows:

  • (a) 7,442,500 Tranche 1 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1); and

  • (b) 5,457,500 Tranche 1 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate (being, the subject of Resolution 2), which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2021.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

8

FRB 221006 NOM - August Placement.doc

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2021.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

2.3 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Tranche 1 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Tranche 1 Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.

2.5 Technical 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 Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) the Tranche 1 Shares were issued to the Tranche 1 Participants. The Tranche 1 Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Euroz Hartleys seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company;

9

FRB 221006 NOM - August Placement.doc

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 12,900,000 Tranche 1 Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 7,442,500 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

  • (ii) 5,457,500 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);

  • (d) the Tranche 1 Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the Tranche 1 Shares were issued on 25 August 2022;

  • (f) the issue price was $0.20 per Tranche 1 Share under both the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares was to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1.1 above; and

  • (h) the Tranche 1 Shares were issued under firm commitment letters that have standard terms and conditions for an agreement of this type.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 1 OPTIONS TO TRANCHE 1 PARTICIPANTS

3.1 General

As summarised in Section 1.1 above, the Company proposes to issue one (1) Option to the Tranche 1 Participants for every two (2) Shares subscribed for under the Placement. Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 6,450,000 Tranche 1 Options to the Tranche 1 Participants. The Tranche 1 Options will be issued free-attaching to the Tranche 1 Shares.

3.2 Listing Rule 7.1

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, 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 Tranche 1 Options 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.

10

FRB 221006 NOM - August Placement.doc

3.3 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 Tranche 1 Options. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 1 Options 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 will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 1 Options.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) the Tranche 1 Options will be issued to the Tranche 1 Participants. The Tranche 1 Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Euroz Hartleys seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of Euroz Hartleys;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (c) the maximum number of Tranche 1 Options is 6,450,000;

  • (f) the issue price will be nil per Tranche 1 Option as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Tranche 1 Shares on a 1:2 basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Options is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1.1 above;

  • (h) the Tranche 1 Options are being issued under firm commitment letters that have standard terms and conditions for an agreement of this type; and

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, 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 Tranche 2 Securities 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.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

5. RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 9 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PARTICIPATION SECURITIES TO PARTICIPATING DIRECTORS

5.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1 above, the Participating Directors wish to participate in the Placement on the same terms as the unrelated participants ( Participation ).

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of the Participation Securities, to the Participating Directors (or their nominee) as follows:

Resolution Participating Director Tranche 2 Shares Tranche 2 Options
Resolution 5 Evan Cranston 1,000,000 500,000
Resolution 6 Peter Allen 250,000 125,000
Resolution 7 Ashley Pattison 250,000 125,000
Resolution 8 Wei Li 250,000 125,000
Resolution 9 Brett Grosvenor 250,000 125,000
Total 2,000,000 1,000,000

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:

13

FRB 221006 NOM - August Placement.doc

  • (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 Participation Securities which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Participating Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than Mr Cranston who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Participation Securities to Mr Cranston because the Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Cranston (or his nominee) on the same terms as Tranche 1 Securities and Tranche 2 Securities (the Placement Securities ) issued to the Tranche 1 Participants and the Tranche 2 Participants respectively (the Unrelated Participants ) and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

The Directors (other than Mr Allen who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Participation Securities to Mr Allen because the Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Allen (or his nominee) on the same terms Placement Securities issued to the Unrelated Participants and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

The Directors (other than Mr Pattison who has a material personal interest in Resolution 7) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Participation Securities to Mr Pattison because the Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Pattison (or his nominee) on the same terms Placement Securities issued to the Unrelated Participants and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

The Directors (other than Mr Li who has a material personal interest in Resolution 8) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Participation Securities to Mr Li because the Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Li (or his nominee) on the same terms Placement Securities issued to the Unrelated Participants and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

The Directors (other than Mr Grosvenor who has a material personal interest in Resolution 9) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Participation Securities to Mr Grosvenor because the Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Grosvenor (or his nominee) on the same terms Placement Securities issued to the Unrelated Participants and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

5.3 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters

14

FRB 221006 NOM - August Placement.doc

in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) all of the Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5 to 9. If each does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 5 to 9 at a Board level.

Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 5 to 9 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the reliance on the arm’s length exception and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

5.4

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.

Resolutions 5 to 9 require Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 5 to 9 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Participation Securities 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 1.1 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Participation Securities (because approval is being obtained under

15

FRB 221006 NOM - August Placement.doc

Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Participation Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 5 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Participation Securities and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.

5.6 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 Resolutions 5 to 9:

  • (a) the Participation Securities will be issued to Participating Directors (or their nominee), who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as the Participating Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Participation Securities that are to be issued to each Participating Director is set out below:

Participating Director Tranche 2 Shares Tranche 2 Options
Evan Cranston 1,000,000 500,000
Peter Allen 250,000 125,000
Ashley Pattison 250,000 125,000
Wei Li 250,000 125,000
Brett Grosvenor 250,000 125,000
Total 2,000,000 1,000,000
  • (c) the Tranche 2 Shares to be issued under the Participation will be issued on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Shares and 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 Tranche 2 Options to be issued under the Participation will be issued on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Options and will be on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Participation 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 intended that issue of the Participation Securities will occur on the same date;

  • (f) the issue price will be $0.20 per Tranche 2 Share and nil per Tranche 2 Option as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a 2:1 basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Participation Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Tranche 2 Options);

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of Participation Securities is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1.1 above;

16

FRB 221006 NOM - August Placement.doc

  • (h) the Participation Securities are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Participating Directors;

  • (i) the Participation Securities will be issued pursuant to firm commitment letters that have standard terms and conditions for an agreement of this type; and

  • (j) voting exclusion statements in respect to Resolutions 5 to 9 are included in the Notice.

6. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE CONSULTANT SECURITIES TO INCREVA

6.1 General

On 6 September 2022, the Company entered into a consultancy agreement ( Consultancy Agreement ) with Increva Pty Ltd (ACN 604 741 808) ( Increva ) pursuant to which Increva has agreed to provide the Company with specialist technical consulting work on the Company’s ongoing studies ( Services ).

Pursuant to the Consultancy Agreement, Increva will charge the Company an hourly fee for the Services ( Fee ). The Company has also agreed to pay Increva for any reimbursable expenses incurred in providing the Services and any GST payable on the Fee.

Increva has agreed to issue the Company invoices for the Fee and any reimbursable expenses in accordance with Increva’s billing schedule (as determined by Increva, acting reasonably and generally in line with the stage of progress of works) to an estimated value of $200,000 (exclusive of GST) ( Invoices ).

On receipt of an Invoice, the Company has agreed to issue Increva securities in the Company on the same terms as the Placement, equivalent in value to the Services invoiced to Increva (or its nominee).

Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue up to 1,000,000 Shares, together with one (1) free-attaching Option for every two (2) Shares issued (being, 500,000 Options) to Increva (or its nominee) pursuant to the Consultancy Agreement ( Consultant Securities ).

In the case that the total Fee payable for the Services is greater than $200,000 and therefore equivalent to more than 1,000,000 Shares, the Company may elect in its sole discretion to issue up to an additional $15,000 worth of Shares, in which case the issue of additional securities will come out of the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, or pay the additional amount in cash.

In the case that Increva provides the Company with an Invoice more than 3 months following the date of the General Meeting, then the issue of the Consultant Shares with respect to that Invoice will also come out of the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company and Increva have also agreed pursuant to a voluntary restriction deed entered into on 6 September 2022 that the Consultant Shares will be restricted for a period of 12 months from their respective dates of issue.

17

FRB 221006 NOM - August Placement.doc

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, 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 Consultant 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.

6.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Consultant Shares. In addition, the issue of the Consultant 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 10 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Consultant Shares and may be required to make a payment to Increva in cash.

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Consultant Shares.

6.4 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 10:

  • (a) the Consultant Securities will be issued to Increva.

  • (b) the maximum number of Consultant Shares to be issued is 1,000,000 and the maximum number of Options to be issued is equal to 50% of the number of Shares to be issued (being 500,000 Options) as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a 1:2 basis;

  • (c) The Shares will be issued on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Shares and the Tranche 2 Shares and 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;

  • (a) the Options will be issued on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Options and the Tranche 2 Options and will be on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (d) the Consultant Securities will be issued progressively on receipt of Invoices from Increva. Only Consultant Securities that are issued within 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) will be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Resolution 10. All other issues of Consultant Securities will come out of the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (e) the Consultant Securities will be issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for specialist technical consulting work by Increva in the ongoing studies undertaken by the Company on its projects;

18

FRB 221006 NOM - August Placement.doc

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Consultant Securities is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Consultancy Agreement;

  • (g) the Consultant Securities are being issued to Increva under the Consultancy Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Consultancy Agreement is set out in Section 6.1; and

  • (h) the Consultant Securities are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
