Refer to Section 3.1 for details of the proposed issue of the Consideration Shares.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
4.2

Subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of Consideration Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Consideration Shares to the Vendors (and/or their nominees) for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Consideration Shares to the Vendors (and/or their nominees) pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement during the three-month period after the Meeting. In addition, the issue of Consideration Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Consideration Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not issue the Consideration Shares to the Vendors (and/or their nominees) and will not proceed with the Transaction.

In addition to its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the Company has obtained Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2021 annual general meeting to issue
11
equity securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the Company's 2021 annual general meeting, without needing prior Shareholder approval.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of equity securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A) those equity securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A..
If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolutions 2 and 3 are not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company's 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

5.4 Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3.
6. Resolution 4 – Issue of Placement Options
6.1 General
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and all other purposes, to issue the Placement Options to the Placement Participants.
Refer to Section 3.2 for details of the Placement.
12
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
6.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 4.2.
The issue of Placement Options does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Placement Options to the Placement Participants for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Options to the Placement Participants. In addition, the issue of Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Placement Options.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of Placement Options to the Placement Participants will only proceed to that extent the Company has the available placement capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Options. If the Company does not have the available placement capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of Placement Options to the Placement Participants will not proceed.

7. Resolution 5 – Issue of Lead Manager Options
7.1 General
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and all other purposes, to issue the Lead Manager Options to the Joint Lead Managers (and/or their nominees).
Refer to Section 3.2 for details of the Joint Lead Managers' role in relation to the Placement.
Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
7.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 4.2.
The issue of Lead Manager Options does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Lead Manager Options to the Joint Lead Managers (and/or their nominees) for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Lead Manager Options to the Joint Lead Managers (and/or their nominees). In addition, the issue of Lead Manager Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Lead Manager Options.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the issue of Lead Manager Options to the Joint Lead Managers (and/or their nominees) will only proceed to that extent the Company has the available placement capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options. If the Company does not have the available placement capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of Lead Manager Options to the Joint Lead Managers (and/or their nominees) will not proceed.

-
(i) pay a management fee of 2% of the gross proceeds of the Placement; and

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.
8.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 4.2.
The issue of Underwriter Options does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Underwriter Options to the Underwriter (and/or its nominees) for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Underwriter Options to the Underwriter (and/or its nominees). In addition, the issue of Underwriter Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without
15
Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Underwriter Options.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the issue of Underwriter Options to the Underwriter (and/or its nominees) will only proceed to that extent the Company has the available placement capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Underwriter Options. If the Company does not have the available placement capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of Underwriter Options to the Underwriter (and/or its nominees) will not proceed.
