This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

Resolutions 1 to 7 (inclusive) and 10 to 12 (inclusive) are in respect of the Acquisition and are inter-conditional on all of those Resolutions being approved. If any of Resolutions 1 to 7 (inclusive) and 10 to 12 (inclusive) are not passed, then all of Resolutions 1 to 7 (inclusive) and 10 to 12 (inclusive) will be taken to have been rejected by Shareholders.

For the avoidance of doubt the Resolutions 1 to 7 (inclusive) and 10 to 12 (inclusive) are referred to as Essential Resolutions throughout this Notice.

Resolutions 8 and 9 (inclusive) and 13 to 16 (inclusive) are conditional on all of the Essential Resolutions being approved.

1. BACKGROUND TO PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF INVESTIA

1.1 Existing Activities of Advanced Engine Components Ltd

Advanced Engine Components Ltd ( ACE or the Company ) is a public company listed on the official list of ASX (ASX code: ACE). The Company was incorporated on 5 December 1983 and was admitted to the official list of the ASX on 21 February 2000. At this time, the Company specialised in research, development and production of patented electronic fuel injection and engine management technologies.

The Company, which has been suspended from trading on the ASX since April 2011, appointed voluntary administrators on 29 August 2014. As at 30 June 2015, the Company had no material assets but substantial liabilities (see Schedule 1).

The Company subsequently entered into a recapitalisation proposal with Otsana Capital and executed a Deed of Company Arrangement ( DOCA ) under which the Company agreed to make a $200,000 payment to a creditors’ trust in satisfaction of all pre-administration liability claims ( Creditor Payment ). The Company borrowed $300,000 to fund this payment, and its working capital, under the Convertible Loan Agreements.

On 23 September 2015, the Company made the Creditor Payment to the creditors’ trust and the DOCA was fully effectuated, resulting in the discharge of all of Company’s pre-administration liabilities and leaving the Company as essentially a shell with no material liabilities other than $300,000 owed under the Convertible Loan Agreements and no material assets other than approximately $100,000 cash in bank.

Following completion of the DOCA on 23 September 2015, the Company has been actively seeking to identify and evaluate new opportunities both in related or non-related industries that may increase shareholder value.

1.2 Change in the Nature and Scale of Activities

As announced on 5 October 2015, the Company entered into a binding Heads of Agreement with Investia Technologies Pty Ltd, a proprietary company incorporated in Australia ( Investia ) and the shareholders of Investia ( Investia Shareholders ) for the acquisition of 100% of the issued shares in Investia ( Investia Shares ), including Investia’s business and assets ( Acquisition Agreement ).

10

Investia is engaged in the development and operation of an on-line platform ( Investia Platform ) for the distribution of financial products ( Business ) and is the legal and beneficial owner of all of the intellectual property rights and licences relating to the Investia Platform ( Investia IP ). As this is not in the same business as the existing business operations of ACE, Resolution 1 seeks approval from Shareholders for a change in the nature and scale of the activities of the Company, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2.

Following Settlement of the Acquisition the Company intends to focus on the development and commercialisation of the Investia Business as well as assess further complementary acquisitions.

The Company proposes to, subject to Shareholders’ approval of the Essential Resolutions and the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, including satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent summarised in Section 1.4(a) below:

  • (a) proceed to Settlement of the Acquisition Agreement by which the Company will issue:

  • (i) 17,500,000 Shares to the Investia Shareholders (or their nominees) as initial consideration ( Initial Consideration Shares );

  • (ii) 17,500,000 Options to the Investia Shareholders (or their nominees) as initial consideration ( Initial Consideration Options );

  • (iii) 15,000,000 Shares to the Investia Shareholders (or their nominees) on Investia achieving registration of 25,000 users on the Investia Platform within 18 months of the Company being re-quoted on the ASX ( Milestone 1 Consideration Shares ); and

  • (iv) 17,500,000 Shares to the Investia Shareholders (or their nominees) on Investia achieving total revenue of $750,000 within 24 months of the Company being re-quoted on the ASX ( Milestone 2 Consideration Shares ),

in the amounts set out in Schedule 3.

  • (b) raise a maximum of $3,700,000 via a prospectus offer ( Prospectus ) by the offer of 185,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 ( Capital Raising ) (Resolution 3);

  • (c) issue up to 15,000,000 Shares (at a deemed issue price of $0.02) to the Convertible Loan Holders (or their nominees) upon conversion of $300,000 loaned to the Company pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreements, with up to 1,000,000 of these Shares to be issued to Davinch Pty Ltd (or its nominee), an entity controlled by Director Chris Ntoumenopoulos (Resolutions 4 and 5);

  • (d) issue up to 25,000,000 Options in consideration for capital raising services provided by corporate advisors and brokers (Resolution 6) with up to 5,000,000 of these Options being provided to Otsana (or its nominees) for capital raising services (Resolution 7);

  • (e) re-elect Messrs Peter Wall and Chris Ntoumenopoulos to the Board (Resolutions 8 and 9);

11

  • (f) change the Company’s name to “Ookami Limited” with effect from when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration (Resolution 10);

  • (g) establish the Plan (Resolution 11) and issue up to 36,000,000 Performance Rights pursuant to the Plan (Resolution 12);

  • (h) participation in the Capital Raising for the issue of up to 10,000,000 Shares to each Director (Resolutions 13 to 16); and

  • (i) adopt a new Constitution (Resolution 17).

Other information considered material to the Shareholders’ decision on whether to pass Resolution 1 (and the other resolutions) is set out in this Explanatory Statement, and Shareholders are advised to read this information carefully.

The Company has been suspended from trading on the ASX since 5 April 2011. As such, in accordance with ASX’s policy as set out in section 3.4 of ASX Guidance Note 33, the Company will be delisted from the ASX on 1 January 2016 unless it comes out of suspension before that time or unless ASX grants an extension.

If it appears that the Company will still be suspended at 1 January 2016, the Company intends to apply to the ASX for a short extension to allow it time to complete the acquisition of Investia and be reinstated to trading on ASX. If this extension is required, but not granted, the Company will be delisted from ASX on 1 January 2016.

1.3 About ACE (to be renamed Ookami)

(a) About ACE

The Company entered into a recapitalisation proposal with Otsana Capital on 29 August 2014 which resulted in all the outstanding debts of the Company being compromised via the DOCA and was resolved and effectuated by the creditors of the Company on 23 September 2014.

Successful completion and execution of all terms under the DOCA was announced to the market on that date.

It is proposed under this Notice that ACE will be renamed Ookami Limited (proposed ASX code: OOK) ( Ookami ), as it commences its next stage of operations.

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company intends to operate in the technology and software development sector, with its first proposed acquisition being Investia. The Company plans to further expand its intellectual property portfolio in technology solutions, with a particular focus on financial services software, application software, communication software, software as a service ( SaaS ), online social networking services.

Subject to approval of the Essential Resolutions at the General Meeting, the Company will execute a transformational transaction to acquire 100% of the issued capital in Investia.

  • (ii) provide a simple and seamless platform for the client to manage their participation in a placement, from the initial offer document to the confirmation note;

  • (iii) expose the wider clientele to the opportunities in investing at a level that they would not generally be able to participate in;

  • (iv) allow AFSL holders to benefit from a simple and effective platform to market and manage all back end processes in a placement;

  • (v) develop the most cost effective system to manage the capital raising process;

  • (vi) generate maximum profit and efficiency via an automated platform; and

  • (vii) exponentially grow Investia’s reputation and client database on the back of successful placements.

(d) The Future of Investia

Investia plans to further expand the Investia Platform’s services and functionality to allow collaboration and/or joint venture arrangements with third party financial and other service providers.

The Board and management will assess the most appropriate time to roll out additional platform modules which may include; public unlisted trading platform and associated services, social communities, forums and analytics and reporting.

(e)

Business Model

The Investia Platform has the ability for an AFSL holder to offer its placement to the clients of other license holders in the Investia Platform, via a unique client management and integrated commission sharing feature, whilst maintaining the private client relationship.

A further exciting feature of the Investia Platform for the AFSL client is the ability to utilise Investia as a ‘White Label’ solution, thereby allowing the integration of the Company’s branding and presence to its clients via the Investia Platform and mobile application.

There are currently 5,101 AFSL licensees as of FY2014 and 3,391 AFSL authorised to provide personal advice in Australia, which may benefit from the Investia Platform and services (Source: ASIC Annual Report 2013-2014).

The Investia Platform also takes advantage of multiple revenue streams through capital raising fees, transaction fees, AFSL annual subscriptions and advertising.

1.10 Board intentions if Settlement occurs

In the event that Settlement occurs, the funds raised from the Capital Raising, together with the Company’s existing cash reserves will be used to:

  • (a) advance development of the Investia Business;

  • (b) meet the ongoing administration costs of the Company;

  • (c) pay the costs of the Capital Raising;

  • (d) assess other complementary acquisitions; and

  • (e) otherwise contribute to the working capital of the Company.

It is intended to allocate the funds raised from the Capital Raising and existing cash reserves as set out in Section 1.8. Following Settlement of the Acquisition the Company intends to focus on the development and commercialisation of the Investia Business as well as assess other complementary acquisitions.

1.11 Advantages of the proposals in the Resolutions

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on each Resolution:

  • (a) the Acquisition represents a significant opportunity for the Company to increase the scale of its activities which should increase the number and size of the investor pool that may invest in the Company’s Shares;

  • (b) the Acquisition provides an opportunity for the Company to diversify its interests to include Investia which is engaged in the business of developing and operating the Investia Platform;

  • (c) the Acquisition provides the Company with the opportunity to increase the value of the Company; and

  • (d) the Company may be able to raise further funds at higher prices by way of share equity as a result of the Acquisition which may aid in the development of the Investia Business.

21

1.12 Disadvantages of the proposals in the Resolutions

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on each Resolution:

  • (a) the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities to become a company focused on the development of the Investia Platform, as referred to above, which may not be consistent with the objectives of all Shareholders;

  • (b) the Acquisition and the Capital Raising will result in the issue of Shares and Options to the Investia Shareholders and new investors, which will have a dilutionary effect on the holdings of Shareholders; and

  • (c) there are inherent risks associated with the change in nature of the Company’s activities. Some of these risks are summarised in Section 1.14 below.

1.13 Composition of the Board of Directors

The Company’s Board of Directors currently comprises:

  • (a) Mr Brendan de Kauwe (Non-executive Director);

  • (b) Mr Peter Wall (Non-executive Director);

  • (c) Mr Chris Ntoumenopoulos (Non-executive Director); and

  • (d) Mr Faldi Ismail (Non-executive Chairman).

It is intended that these Directors will remain on the Board of the Company following Settlement of the Acquisition.

Please refer to Section 6 below for further information on Messrs Wall and Ntoumenopoulos.

1.14 Risk factors

Shareholders should be aware that if the proposed Acquisition is approved, the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities. Based on the information available, a non-exhaustive list of risk factors are as follows:

Risks relating to the Change in Nature and Scale of Activities

(a) Re-Quotation of Shares on ASX

The acquisition of Investia constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and the Company needs to recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the official list of ASX.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX. Should this occur, the Shares will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be met, if at all. Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares should the Company be suspended until such time as it does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules. If the

22

Company is not re-quoted by 1 January 2016 (or such later date as agreed to by ASX), the Company will be delisted from ASX and Shareholders will be unable to trade their Shares on the ASX.

(b)

Dilution Risk

The Company currently has 35,092,289 Shares on issue. On completion of the Acquisition, the Company proposes to issue the relevant number of Shares and Options in consideration for the Acquisition and issue up to 185,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share to raise up to a maximum of $3,700,000 (before costs) as part of the proposed Capital Raising.

On completion of the Acquisition and assuming the maximum subscription of the Shares under the Capital Raising, the issue of all deferred Consideration Shares (and no exercise of Options), the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 12% of the issued capital of the Company, with the Investia Shareholders holding 18%, the investors under the Capital Raising holding 65% and the Convertible Loan Holders holding 5% of the issued capital of the Company respectively.

There is also a risk that the interests of Shareholders will be further diluted as a result of future capital raisings required in order to fund the future development of the Company.

(c)

Liquidity Risk

As part of the Acquisition, the Company proposes to issue up to 50,000,000 Consideration Shares and 17,500,000 Initial Consideration Options to the Investia Shareholders. These securities will be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules. Based on the post-offer capital structure (and assuming no further Shares are issued or Options exercised), these Shares will equate to approximately 18% of the post-Offer issued Share capital (assuming maximum subscription under the Capital Raising). This could be considered an increased liquidity risk as a large portion of issued capital may not be able to be traded freely for a period of time.

(d)

Contractual Risk

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement (summarised above) the Company has agreed to acquire the Investia Shares subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent.

The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives will depend on the performance by the parties of their obligations under the Acquisition Agreement. If any party defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly.

Risks specific to the Company

(a) Acquisition of interest in Investia

There are a number of specific risks involved for the Company, and consequently its Security holders, in the acquisition of Investia, including risks specific to the business and assets of Investia, which include the following non-exhaustive list:

23

(i) Sales and marketing success

Following completion of the Acquisition, the Company intends to continue with the commercialisation of the Investia Platform by focusing on brand development and sales and marketing. By its nature, there is no guarantee that the Company’s brand development and sales and marketing campaign will be successful. In the event that it is not, the Company may encounter difficulty in bringing the Investia Platform to market and creating market awareness of the brand. This would likely have an adverse impact on the Company’s sales and profitability.

Even if the Company does successfully commercialise the Investia Platform, there is a risk the Company will not achieve a commercial return. The Company may not be able to sell products and services to customers at a rate which covers its operating and capital costs, or new technology may overtake the Company’s technology.

(ii)

Investia’s intellectual property

If the Company fails to protect the intellectual property rights of Investia adequately, competitors may gain access to its technology which would in turn harm its business.

Legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available to the Company in every country in which its products are available. Accordingly, despite its efforts, the Company may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating its intellectual property.

The Company may be required to incur significant expenses in monitoring and protecting its intellectual property rights. It may initiate or otherwise be involved in litigation against third parties for infringement, or to establish the validity, of its rights. Any litigation, whether or not it is successful, could result in significant expense to the Company and cause a distraction to management. In addition, unauthorised use of the Investia brand in counterfeit products or services may not only result in potential revenue loss, but also have an adverse impact on its brand value and perceptions of its product qualities.

(iii)

Competition and new technologies

The industry in which Investia is involved is subject to increasing domestic and global competition which is fast-paced and fastchanging. While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, whose activities or actions may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business. For instance, new technologies could overtake the advancements

24

made by the Investia Platform. In that case, the Company’s revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.

(iv)

Reliance on key personnel

The emergence and development of Investia’s business has been in large part due to the talent, effort, experience and leadership of its management team and their vast industry contacts and experience. Investia is also substantially dependent on the continued service of its existing development personnel because of the complexity of its services and technologies. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain the services of such persons.

(v)

Faults with products/services

Because Investia’s product is complex, it may have errors or defects that users identify after they begin using it, which could harm the Company’s reputation and business. Internet-based services frequently contain undetected errors when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. Investia has on occasions found defects in its product and new errors in its existing or future developed products and services may be detected in the future. If that occurs, the Company could lose both existing and future sales or customers.

Investia seeks to mitigate this risk by ensuring that it maintains an agile development process involved with patching and updates where these problems are publicly identified. In addition, internal processes for testing and quality assurance reduce potential risks.

(vi)

Dependence on the internet

Expanding sales of the Investia Platform and other future developed products depends on the continued acceptance of the internet as a communications and commerce platform for individuals and enterprises. The internet could become less viable as a business tool due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease-ofuse, accessibility and quality-of-service.

The performance of the internet and its acceptance as a business tool have been harmed by “viruses,” “worms” and similar malicious programs, and the internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. If for any reason the internet does not remain a widespread communications medium and commercial platform, the demand for the Company’s products would be significantly reduced, which would harm its business.

(vii) Hacker attacks

Investia relies upon the availability of its website to provide services to customers and attract new customers. Hackers

25

could render the website unavailable through a disrupted denial of service or other disruptive attacks.

Although Investia has strategies in place to minimise such attacks, these strategies may not be successful. Unavailability of the website could lead to a loss of revenues for the Company. Further, it could hinder the Company’s abilities to retain existing customers or attract new customers, which would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s growth.

(viii) Domain name risk

Investia’s business depends to some extent on customers being attracted to its website. Investia has registered a domain name for the purposes of its website. However, should the Company not renew or otherwise lose control of the Investia domain name, it would lose all website traffic direct to that domain. This would likely adversely affect the Company’s revenue.

(ix) Attracting customers to the website

The Company’s revenues will be affected by its ability to attract customers to the Investia website. Various factors can affect the level of web traffic arriving at the Investia website, including:

  • (A) Marketing and promotions: If the Company’s marketing and promotion efforts are not effective this may result in less customers visiting the Investia website.

  • (B) Brand damage: If the Company or Investia suffer from reputational damage, web traffic could be affected.

  • (C) Search engine traffic: Search engines such as Google direct significant traffic to the Investia website. Should these search engines make changes to their algorithms and procedures that direct this traffic, the Company could see a substantial drop in customers visiting the Investia website. For example, Google regularly updates the algorithms that determine the ranking of results it returns for any given search term. Investia attempts to follow Google’s guidelines and online best practice to maintain the flow of traffic to its website, but such changes could adversely affect the traffic to its website. A decline in traffic to the Investia website could lead to a decline in the Company’s ability to attract customers, which in turn may affect the Company’s profitability.

(x) Client service risk

Clients may need to engage with the Company’s client service personnel in certain circumstances, such as if they have a question about its products or if there is a dispute between a customer and the Company. The Company will continuously need to recruit and retain staff with interpersonal skills sufficient to respond appropriately to client services requests. Poor client service experiences may result in the loss of clients. If the Company loses key client service personnel, fails to provide

26

adequate training and resources for client service personnel, or if the computer systems relied on by client service personnel are disrupted by technological failures, this could lead to adverse publicity, litigation, regulatory inquiries or a decrease in clients, all of which may negatively impact on the Company’s profitability.

(xi) Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, products, technologies and/or products that are complementary to Investia’s business. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving the sales and margins anticipated and retaining key staff and customer and supplier relationships.

Market risks

(a) Additional requirements for capital

The funds raised under the Capital Raising are considered sufficient to meet the immediate objectives of the Company. Additional funding may be required in the event costs exceed the Company’s estimates and to effectively implement its business and operations plans in the future (including in relation to Investia) to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur. Further additional financing will be required if the Board determines to accelerate the development of the Company’s technology.

The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, licensing arrangements, production sharing arrangements or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and future projects may result in delay and indefinite postponement of their activities and potential research and development programmes. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.

(b)

Regulatory risks

The Company will incur ongoing costs and obligations associated with compliance with necessary regulations. Any failure to comply with regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or in restrictions on the Company’s proposed business operations. In addition, changes in regulations could require extensive changes to the Company’s operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

27

The Company’s ability to operate in the future will depend in part on whether it is able to effectively commercialise its potential interests in products. This will depend on successful completion of product development activities, obtaining regulatory approval and on there being commercial demand for such products which cannot be guaranteed.

(c) Reinstatement to ASX’s official list

The Company’s Shares are currently suspended from trading on the ASX. In the event the Essential Resolutions are approved at the Meeting, it is anticipated that the Company’s securities will remain suspended until Settlement of the Acquisition Agreement and Capital Raising, recompliance by the Company with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and compliance with any further conditions ASX imposes on such reinstatement. There is a risk that the Company will not be able to satisfy one or more of those requirements and that its listed Securities may consequently remain suspended from quotation.

Industry specific risks

(a) Competition

The industry in which Investia is involved is subject to increasing domestic and global competition which is fast-paced and fast-changing. While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, whose activities or actions may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business. For instance, new technologies could result in the Investia Platform not being differentiated to other similar offerings.

The size and financial strength of some of Investia’s competitors may make it difficult for it to maintain a competitive position in the technology market. In particular, Investia’s ability to acquire additional technology interests could be adversely affected if it is unable to respond effectively and/or in a timely manner to the strategies and actions of competitors and potential competitors or the entry of new competitors into the market. This may in turn impede the financial condition and rate of growth of the Company.

The key competition risk is in achieving appreciable market share and differentiation from its key competitors.

(b)

Unforeseen expenditure risk

Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account in the estimates summarised in Section 1.8 above. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.

28

General risks

(a) Economic

General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s and the Entities’ business activities and potential research and development programmes, as well as on their ability to fund those activities.

(b)

Force Majeure

The Company’s projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company and the Entities, including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

(c) Insurance risks

The Company intends to insure its operations and those of Investia (as required) in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, such insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company effected.

(d)

Litigation Risks

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including, but not limited to, intellectual property and patent claims. Further, the Company or Investia may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company and Investia are not currently engaged in any litigation.

(e) Dependence on outside parties

The Company may pursue a strategy that forms strategic business relationships with other organisations in relation to potential products and services. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract such prospective organisations and to negotiate appropriate terms and conditions with these organisations or that any potential agreements with such organisations will be complied with.

(f) Market conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted Securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

(i) general economic outlook;

(ii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; (iii) interest rates and inflation rates;

29

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and biotechnology stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return to Security holders arising from the transactions the subject of this Notice or otherwise.

1.15 Taxation

The Acquisition and/or the passing of the Resolutions may give rise to income tax implications for the Company and Shareholders.

Existing Shareholders are advised to seek their own taxation advice on the effect of the Resolutions on their personal position and neither the Company, nor any existing Director or advisor to the Company accepts any responsibility for any individual Shareholder’s taxation consequences on any aspect of the Acquisition or the Resolutions.

1.16 Plans for the Company if the Resolutions are not passed

If the Essential Resolutions are not passed and the Acquisition is not completed, the Company will continue to develop its existing activities and look for potential projects in order to continue to take the Company forward.

1.17 Directors’ interests in the Agreement

None of the Company’s existing Directors have any interest in the proposed Acquisition pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, other than as disclosed in this Notice.

1.18 Investia Shareholders

None of the Investia Shareholders or their associates are related parties of the Company and they have no existing interest in the Company’s Securities separate from the Resolutions and the Acquisition Agreement.

1.19 Conditional Resolutions

The Essential Resolutions are inter-conditional, meaning that each of them will only take effect if all of them are approved by the requisite majority of Shareholders’ votes at the Meeting. If any one of those Resolutions is not approved at the Meeting, none of them will take effect and the Acquisition Agreement and other matters contemplated by the Essential Resolutions will not be completed pursuant to this Notice.

1.20 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend the Acquisition (and the change in nature and scale of the Company’s activities) and that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions.

30

2. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO CHANGE THE NATURE AND SCALE OF ACTIVITIES

2.1 General

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders for a change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities via the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of Investia.

A detailed description of the proposed Acquisition is outlined in Section 1 above.

2.2 ASX Listing Rule 11.1

ASX Listing Rule 11.1 provides that where an entity proposes to make a significant change, either directly or indirectly, to the nature and scale of its activities, it must provide full details to ASX as soon as practicable and comply with the following:

  • (a) provide to ASX information regarding the change and its effect on future potential earnings, and any information that ASX asks for;

  • (b) if ASX requires, obtain the approval of holders of its shares and any requirements of ASX in relation to the notice of meeting; and

  • (c) if ASX requires, meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if the company were applying for admission to the official list of ASX.

ASX has confirmed to the Company that given the significant change in the nature and scale of the activities of the Company upon completion of the Acquisition, it requires the Company to:

  • (a) obtain the approval of its Shareholders for the proposed change of activities; and

  • (b) re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

For this reason, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the Company to change the nature and scale of its activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 and pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3 in order to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

Details of the assets to be acquired by the Company and the proposed changes to the structure and operations of the Company are set out throughout this Explanatory Statement.

2.3 Guidance Note 12

Recent changes to Guidance Note 12 alter ASX’s policy in relation to the application of the “20 cent rule” to re-compliance listings. Previously, a company had to re-comply to the Official List of the ASX at an issue price of 20 cents per share as part of compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. Guidance Note 12 states that this issue price can now be below 20 cents when an entity’s securities have been trading on ASX at less than 20 cents. ASX will consider a request not to apply the 20 cent rule provided the issue price, sale price or exercise price for any securities being issued or sold as part of, or in conjunction with, the transaction:

31

  • (a) is not less than two cents each; and

  • (b) is specifically approved by security holders as part of the approval obtained under Listing Rule 11.1.2; and

  • (c) ASX is otherwise satisfied that the entity’s proposed capital structure after the transaction will satisfy Listing Rules 1.1 condition 1 and 12.5 (appropriate structure for a listed entity).

For this reason, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the Company to:

  • (a) issue Shares at an issue price of not less than $0.02 per Share;

  • (b) issue Shares at a conversion price of not less than $0.02 per Share;

  • (c) issue the Initial Consideration Options and the Broker Options at Settlement with an exercise price of not less than $0.03 per Option; and

  • (d) to issue the Performance Rights with a nil exercise price,

as part of the approvals sought under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – ISSUE OF SECURITIES – INVESTIA SHAREHOLDERS

3.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of:

  • (a) 17,500,000 Initial Consideration Shares as initial consideration;

  • (b) 17,500,000 Initial Consideration Options as initial consideration;

  • (c) 15,000,000 Milestone 1 Consideration Shares on the satisfaction of Milestone 1; and

  • (d) 17,500,000 Milestone 2 Consideration Shares on the satisfaction of Milestone 2,

to the Investia Shareholders (or their nominees).

ASX 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 effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue the Initial Consideration Shares to the Investia Shareholders and the Initial Consideration Options to the Investia Shareholders during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), and, subject to the approval of a waiver application from the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.3.2 submitted to ASX, the Milestone 1 Consideration Shares and Milestone 2 Consideration Shares to the Investia Shareholders during a period of 18 and 24 months respectively after the date on which the Company is re-quoted on the ASX, without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

32

The Directors understand that ASX will treat the Consideration Shares and Initial Consideration Options the subject of Resolution 2 as restricted securities for the purpose of Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules.

The Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to this Resolution 2 will be issued such that no individual Investia Shareholder or their associates will hold more than 19.9% of the Shares on issue.

3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Consideration Shares and Initial Consideration Options:

  • (a) the maximum number of Consideration Shares to be issued is 50,000,000;

  • (b) the maximum number of Initial Consideration Options to be issued is 17,500,000;

  • (c) the Initial Consideration Shares and Initial Consideration Options 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 ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of all those Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (d) the Milestone 1 Consideration Shares will be issued no later than the date that is 18 months after the Company is re-quoted on ASX and it is intended that issue of all Milestone 1 Consideration Shares will occur on the same date;

The Shares will be issued under a Prospectus to be issued by the Company pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3 in order to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.1 above.

On 22 September 2015, the Company entered into the Convertible Loan Agreements. Pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreements with third party investors ( Convertible Loan Holders ), convertible loans totalling $300,000 were drawn down by the Company.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 14,000,000 Shares to unrelated Convertible Loan Holders who entered into Convertible Loan

34

Agreements. The Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Loan Agreements on Settlement ( Convertible Loan Conversion ).

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.1 above.

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares to the Convertible Loan Holders during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 14,000,000;

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting and it is intended that issue of all of the Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares to the Convertible Loan Holders as the Shares are being issued in repayment of the loan provided by the Convertible Loan Holders to the Company pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreements, which was utilised by the Company towards payment of costs associated with the effectuation of the DOCA and to meet the costs of re-compliance with Chapters 1 & 2.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTY PURSUANT TO CONVERTIBLE LOAN

6.1 General

As set out in section 5.1 above, on 22 September 2015, the Company entered into the Convertible Loan Agreements with the Convertible Loan Holders. Davinch Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by Mr Chris Ntoumenopoulos, a Director of the Company, is a Convertible Loan Holder.

Pursuant to Resolution 5 the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,000,000 Shares at a conversion price of $0.02 per Share pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreement between the Company and Davinch Pty Ltd.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,000,000 Shares to Davinch Pty Ltd (or its nominee) arising from the participation by Mr Chris Ntoumenopoulos in the Convertible Loan Conversion ( Participation ).

35

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

  • (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 Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Davinch Pty Ltd is a related party of the Company by virtue of being an entity controlled by a Director, Mr Chris Ntoumenopoulos.

The Directors 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 Davinch Pty Ltd (or its nominee) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party Convertible Loan Holders participating in the Convertible Loan Conversion and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

6.3

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the Convertible Loan Conversion involves the issue of Shares to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

6.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Participation:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Davinch Pty Ltd (or its nominee);

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 1,000,000;

  • (c) the Shares 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 ASX Listing Rules);

  • (d) the deemed issue price of the Shares is $0.02 per Share, being the same as all other Shares issued under the Convertible Loan Conversion;

  • (e) the Shares will be issued to Davinch Pty Ltd (or its nominee), an entity controlled by Mr Chris Ntoumenopoulos, a Director of the Company;

36

  • (f) 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; and

  • (g) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares to the Convertible Loan Holders as the Shares are being issued in repayment of the loan provided by the Convertible Loan Holders to the Company pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreements, which was utilised by the Company towards payment of costs associated with the effectuation of the DOCA and to meet the costs of re-compliance with Chapters 1 & 2.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Participation as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to Davinch Pty Ltd (or its nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

7. RESOLUTION 6 – ISSUE OF BROKER OPTIONS

7.1 General

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 25,000,000 Options ( Broker Options ) in consideration for capital raising services to be provided by corporate advisor and brokers in relation to the Capital Raising.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 3.1 above.

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company to issue the Broker Options during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

7.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Broker Options:

  • (a) the maximum number of Broker Options to be issued is 25,000,000;

  • (b) the Broker Options 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 ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Broker Options will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the Broker Options will be issued for no cash consideration in satisfaction of capital raising services provided by corporate advisory and broker groups or their nominees in relation to the Capital Raising;

  • (d) the Broker Options will be issued to corporate advisors and brokers or their nominees, none of whom are related parties of the Company except as set out in Resolution 7 below;

  • (e) the Broker Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2; and

37

(f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Broker Options as the Broker Options are being issued in consideration for capital raising services provided to the Company.

8. RESOLUTION 7 – ISSUE OF BROKER OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTY

8.1 General

Pursuant to Resolution 6 the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 25,000,000 Broker Options in consideration for capital raising services to be provided by corporate advisor and brokers in relation to the Capital Raising.

8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in sections 6.2 and 6.3 above.

The issue of Broker Options to Otsana will result in the issue of Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Otsana is a related party of the Company by virtue of being an entity controlled by a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Faldi Ismail, 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 Broker Options will be issued to Otsana on the same terms as Broker Options issued to non-related party corporate advisors and brokers in relation to services provided to the Company for the Capital Raising and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

As the issue of Broker Options involves the issue of Options to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

8.3 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Participation:

  • (a) the Broker Options will be issued to Otsana (or its nominee), a related party of the Company by virtue of being controlled by a Director, Mr Faldi Ismail;

  • (b) the maximum number of Broker Options to be issued is 5,000,000;

  • (c) the Broker Options 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 ASX Listing Rules);

  • (e) the Broker Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2; and

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Broker Options as the Broker Options are being issued in consideration for capital raising services provided to the Company.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Broker Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Broker Options to Otsana (or its nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

9. RESOLUTIONS 8 AND 9 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS – PETER WALL AND CHRIS NTOUMENOPOULOS

10. RESOLUTION 10 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.

Resolution 10 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name to “Ookami Limited”.

If Resolution 10 is passed the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.

The proposed name has been reserved by the Company and if Resolution 8 is passed (along with the Essential Resolutions), the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC following the Meeting in order to effect the change.

The Board proposes this change of name on the basis that it more accurately reflects the proposed future operations of the Company.

11. RESOLUTION 11 – ADOPTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PLAN

Resolution 11 seeks Shareholders approval for the adoption of the Plan in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.1 above.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Performance Rights under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

Shareholders should note that no Performance Rights have previously been issued under the Plan.

40

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key Directors, employees and contractors and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Performance Rights under the Plan will provide selected participants with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Any future issues of Performance Rights under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relation with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time. To this extent, please refer to Resolution 12 below.

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 4. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (Ms Shannon Coates). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

12. RESOLUTION 12 – ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO RELATED PARTIES

12.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval and to the adoption of the Plan (refer Resolution 11), to issue a total of 36,000,000 Performance Rights in the amounts set out in and to the parties listed in Schedule 5.

The Company considers that all of these parties, as Directors, namely Messrs Ismail, de Kauwe, Wall and Ntoumenopoulos are parties to which ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained ( Eligible Participants ).

12.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 – Faldi Ismail, Brendan de Kauwe, Peter Wall and Chris Ntoumenopoulos

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in sections 6.2 and 6.3 above.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Performance Rights to be issued to Faldi Ismail, Brendan de Kauwe, Peter Wall and Chris Ntoumenopoulos because the agreement to grant the Performance Rights reached as part of the Acquisition Agreement was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

The Directors consider that as the issue of the Performance Rights to Faldi Ismail, Brendan de Kauwe, Peter Wall and Chris Ntoumenopoulos is proposed to occur in the future, the Company considers it more appropriate to seek approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and consequently Shareholders’ approval is not sought under Listing Rule 10.11.

12.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.14

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15A, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Performance Rights to the Eligible Participants:

  • (b) the maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued to the Eligible Participants (or their nominees) is up to 36,000,000 Performance Rights (consisting of 12,000,000 each of Class A Performance Rights, Class B Performance Rights and Class C Performance Rights);

  • (c) the Eligible Participants may each acquire one (1) Share for each Performance Right held, however the ability of the Eligible Participants to convert the Performance Rights is subject to the Milestones set out in Schedule 6;

  • (d) the Performance Rights are being issued to the Eligible Participants for nil cash consideration and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 6;

  • (e) no Performance Rights have previously been issued under the Plan nor has the Plan previously been adopted by Shareholders;

  • (i) no person for whom Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 may participate in the Plan until approval is obtained in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

13. RESOLUTIONS 13 TO 16 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES

Pursuant to Resolution 3 the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the Capital Raising, being the issue of up to 185,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share to raise up to $3,700,000.

Messrs Faldi Ismail, Brendan de Kauwe, Peter Wall and Chris Ntoumenopoulos (together, the Related Party Participants ) each wish to participate in the Capital Raising, subject to shareholder approval being obtained.

Resolutions 13 to 16 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 40,000,000 Shares to the Related Party Participants (or their nominees) arising from the participation by the Related Party Participants in the Capital Raising ( Participation ).

13.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in sections 6.2 and 6.3 above.

The Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than Mr Ismail in relation to Resolution 13, Mr de Kauwe in relation to Resolution 14, Mr Wall in relation to Resolution 15 and Mr Ntoumenopoulos in relation to Resolution 16, given their material personal interests in these respective Resolutions) 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 Related Party Participants on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Capital Raising and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

As the Participation involves the issue of Shares to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

13.3 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Participation:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Messrs Ismail, de Kauwe, Wall and Ntoumenopoulos (or their respective nominees);

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 40,000,000;

  • (i) up to 10,000,000 Shares to Faldi Ismail (or his nominee);

  • (ii) up to 10,000,000 Shares to Brendan de Kauwe (or his nominee);

  • (iii) up to 10,000,000 Shares to Peter Wall (or his nominee); and

  • (iv) up to 10,000,000 Shares to Chris Ntoumenopoulos (or his nominee);

  • (c) the Shares 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 ASX Listing Rules);

  • (d) the issue price will be $0.02 per Share, being the same as all other Shares issued under the Capital Raising;

  • (e) 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; and

  • (f) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Capital Raising as set out in section 1.8 of this Explanatory Statement.

43

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Participation as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to the Related Party Participants (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

14. RESOLUTION 17 - REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION

14.1 Background

A company may modify or repeal its Constitution or a provision of its Constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 17 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new Constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by Shares updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted in 2005.

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.

The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature. The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Statement, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary.

Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

14.2 Summary of material proposed changes

The key differences between the existing Constitution and the Proposed Constitution are summarised below. This summary is not intended to be an exhaustive explanation of all the changes effected by the adoption of the Proposed Constitution.

Fee for registration of off market transfers (clause 8.4(c))

On 24 January 2011, ASX amended ASX Listing Rule 8.14 with the effect that the Company may now charge a “reasonable fee” for registering paper-based transfers, sometimes referred to “off-market transfers”.

Clause 8.4 of the Proposed Constitution is being made to enable the Company to charge a reasonable fee when it is required to register off-market transfers from Shareholders. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its fraud detection practices specific to off-market transfers.

44

Before charging any fee, the Company is required to notify ASX of the fee to be charged and provide sufficient information to enable ASX to assess the reasonableness of the proposed amount.

Dividends (clause 21)

Section 254T of the Corporations Act was amended effective 28 June 2010.

There is now a three-tiered test that a company will need to satisfy before paying a dividend replacing the previous test that dividends may only be paid out of profits.

The amended requirements provide that a company must not a pay a dividend unless:

  • (a) the company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend;

  • (b) the payment of the dividend is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole; and

  • (c) the payment of the dividend does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors.

The existing Constitution reflects the former profits test and restricts the dividends to be paid only out of the profits of the Company. The Proposed Constitution is updated to reflect the new requirements of the Corporations Act. The Directors consider it appropriate to update the Constitution for this amendment to allow more flexibility in the payment of dividends in the future should the Company be in a position to pay dividends.

Partial (proportional) takeover provisions (new clause 35)

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.

Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last renewal of the clause.

Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act

Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.

Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

45

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;

  • (b) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;

  • (c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and

  • (d) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;

  • (b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and

  • (c) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.

14.3 Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 17.

If this Resolution is approved, the Proposed Constitution will be adopted with effect from the close of the Meeting.

  • (vi) in respect of unvested Performance Rights only, where a Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant, unless the Board exercises its discretion to vest the Performance Right under a good leaver exception or change of control event or resolves to allow the unvested Performance Right to remain unvested after the Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant;

The terms of Performance Rights are set out as follows:

  • (a) ( Milestones ): The Performance Rights will have the following milestones attached to them:

  • (i) Class A Performance Rights: upon the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) for 10 consecutive trading days of Shares equals or exceeds 3 cents, such price to be adjusted on a pro-rata basis post consolidation, after completion of the Acquisition ( Performance Rights Milestone 1 );

  • (ii) Class B Performance Rights: upon the VWAP for 10 consecutive trading days of Shares equals or exceeds 4 cents, such price to be adjusted on a pro-rata basis post consolidation, after completion of the Acquisition ( Performance Rights Milestone 2 ); and

  • (iii) Class C Performance Rights: upon the VWAP for 10 consecutive trading days of Shares equals or exceeds 5 cents, such price to be adjusted on a pro-rata basis post consolidation, after completion of the Acquisition ( Performance Rights Milestone 3 );

(each referred to as a Performance Rights Milestone ).

  • (b) ( Notification to holder ): The Company shall notify the holder in writing when the relevant Milestones have been satisfied.

  • (c) ( Vesting ): The Performance Rights will vest on the date the Milestone relating to that Performance Right has been satisfied.

  • (d) ( Consideration ): The Performance Rights will be issued for no consideration.

  • (e) ( Conversion ): Upon vesting, each Performance Right will, at the election of the holder, convert into one fully paid ordinary share in the Company ( Share ).

  • (f) ( Trading restriction ): Any Share issued on conversion of a Performance Right within 12 months of the Company being reinstated to official quotation on the ASX after Settlement of the Acquisition ( Re-Listing Date ) cannot be traded until the date which is 12 months after the Re-Listing Date unless otherwise permitted by the Board and subject to any other escrow requirements imposed by ASX.

  • (g) ( Lapse ): Any Performance Right that has not vested within 3 years from the Settlement Date will automatically lapse.

  • (h) ( Share ranking ): All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.

  • (i) ( Listing of shares on ASX ): The Company will not apply for quotation of the Performance Rights on ASX. However, the Company will apply for quotation of all Shares issued pursuant to the vesting of Performance Rights on ASX within the period required by ASX.

  • (j) ( Transfer of Performance Rights ): The Performance Rights are not transferable.

  • (k) ( Participation in Entitlements and Bonus Issues ): Subject always to the rights under item (m) (Reorganisation of Capital), Holders of Performance Rights will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.

60

  • (l) ( Adjustment for bonus issue ): If securities are issued pro-rata to shareholders generally by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends by way of dividend reinvestment), the number of Performance Rights to which each holder is entitled will be increased by that number of securities which the holder would have been entitled if the Performance Rights held by the holder were vested immediately prior to the record date of the bonus issue, and in any event in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules 6.22.3 at the time of the bonus issue.

  • (m) ( Reorganisation of Capital ): In the event that the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a Holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules at the time of reorganisation provided that, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules, following such reorganisation the economic and other rights of the holder are not diminished or terminated.

  • (n) ( Dividend and Voting Rights ): The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote or receive dividends.

  • (o) ( Change in Control ): Upon:

  • (i) a takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act having been made in respect of the Company and:

    • (A) having received acceptances for not less than 50.1% of the Company’s shares on issue; and

    • (B) having been declared unconditional by the bidder; or

  • (ii) a Court granting orders approving a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme of arrangement for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies,

then, to the extent Performance Rights have not converted into Shares due to satisfaction of a Milestone, Performance Rights will automatically convert to that number of Shares which when issued together with all Shares issued under any other class of Performance Rights then on issue in the Company, is equal to the lesser of one Share per Performance Right and 10% of the total Shares on issue at that time. Performance Rights that are not converted into Shares will continue to be held by the holder on the same terms and conditions.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ‘APPOINTMENT OF PROXY’ FORM

APPOINTING A PROXY

A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. The appointed proxy may be an individual or body corporate.

If a Body Corporate is appointed to act as your proxy then a representative of that Body Corporate must be appointed to act as its representative. When attending the meeting, the representative must bring a formal notice of appointment as per section 250D of the Corporations Act. Such notice must be signed as required by section 127 of the Corporations Act or the Body Corporate’s Constitution.

If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll.

The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

Note: If you wish to appoint a second proxy, you may copy this form but you must return both forms together.

VOTING ON BUSINESS OF MEETING

A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business.

Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws.

Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Individual : Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • Joint holding : Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • Power of attorney : If you have not already lodged the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • Companies : To be signed in accordance with your Constitution. Please sign in the appropriate box which indicates the office held by you.

ATTENDING THE MEETING

Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

LODGEMENT OF VOTES

To be effective, a validly appointed proxy must be received by the Company not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.

Proxy appointments can be lodged by:

  • a) Hand Delivery – to the Company at 108 Outram Street, West Perth WA 6005; or

  • b) Post – to the Company at 108 Outram Street, West Perth WA 6005; or

  • c) Facsimile – to +61 8 9463 6373; or

  • d) Email - to [email protected]

Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid
