4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
4.1 General
The Remuneration Report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2022 is included in the Directors’ Report in the Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.
Section 249L(2) of the Corporations Act requires a company to inform shareholders that a resolution on the remuneration report will be put at the annual general meeting. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a resolution that the remuneration report to be adopted must be put to the vote. Resolution 1 seeks this approval.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders should note that Resolution 1 is an “advisory only” resolution which does not bind the Directors. Under section 250SA of the Corporations Act, the Chair will provide a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
If at least 25% of the votes on Resolution 1 are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting, and then again at the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) to consider the appointment of the Directors ( Spill Resolution ).
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the Spill Meeting within 90 days of the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company’s 2022 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director of the Company, shall cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting, those persons whose election or re-election as directors is approved will be the directors of the Company.
4.2 Previous voting results
At the Company’s 2021 annual general meeting, 99.89% of votes were cast in favour of the remuneration report. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.
4.3 Board recommendation
Given the material personal interests of all Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding Resolution 1.
4.4 Voting intention
If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intention.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and to provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on Resolution 1.
5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Kenn Tat (Jefrey) Ong as a Director
5.1 General
In accordance with clause 11.3 of the Constitution, at every annual general meeting, one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must retire from office by rotation and are eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire are those who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, by agreement.
Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.
On 1 April 2022, founder and Chief Innovation Officer Jefrey Ong transitioned into the role of Non-Executive Director and accordingly retires and seeks re-election in accordance with Listing Rule 14.5 and clause 11.3 of the Constitution.
Mr Ong founded Flexiroam in 2011 and has successfully co-founded three other technology-based companies. Under his leadership, the Company was successfully admitted to the Official List of the ASX in 2015 and saw its network expand rapidly to over 200 countries with 520 network operators. The Board acknowledges that Mr Ong has always been an integral part of Flexiroam and believes that the Company will continue to benefit from his technical skills and extensive industry knowledge.
6 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
The Board does not consider Mr Ong to be an independent director.
If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Ong will be re-appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Ong will not be appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
5.2 Board Recommendation
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board has considered Mr Ong’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Ong’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role.
The Directors (other than Mr Ong) recommend Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Ong.
5.3 Voting intention
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
6. Resolution 3 – Re-election of Mr Tat Seng Koh as a Director
6.1 General
Mr Tat Seng Koh was appointed as a Director on 3 September 2018 and was previously re-elected at the annual general meeting held on 30 October 2020.
Under this Resolution, Mr Koh has elected to retire by rotation, and being eligible, seeks re-election as a Director of the Company in accordance with Listing Rule 14.5 and clause 11.3 of the Constitution, as summarised in section 5.1 above.
Mr Koh has extensive leadership experience and a successful track record in corporate finance. He has successfully listed a number of companies on Bursa Malaysia and two companies on the London Stock Exchange, PureCircle and MayAir. Mr Koh was previously an Executive Director of MayAir and the Group Chief Finance Officer of PureCircle and MayAir.
Having regard to the ASX Principles and Mr Koh’s role as a Non-Executive Director, the Board does not consider Mr Koh to be an independent director as he is a substantial Shareholder of the Company.
If Resolution 3 is passed, Mr Koh will be re-appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, Mr Koh will not be appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
6.2 Board Recommendation
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board has considered Mr Koh’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Koh’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role.
The Directors (other than Mr Koh) recommend Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Koh.
6.3 Voting intention
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
7. Resolution 4 – Approval for Additional 10% Placement Facility
7.1 General
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 twelve (12) month period to 15% of its issued share capital at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its shareholders, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to add an additional 10% capacity ( 10% Placement Facility ).
An “eligible entity” for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).
7 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $[28 million] and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed. This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% Placement Facility provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
The Board believes that this Resolution is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
7.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
- (a) Equity securities
The equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted equity securities. The Company currently has two classes of equity securities on issue being:

-
65,620,842 quoted Options exercisable at $0.12 each on or before 31 October 2022,
( Equity Securities ).
(b) Formula for calculating the 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Facility, the Company may issue or agree to issue during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
where:
-

the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-

if the securities are not issued within ten (10) Trading Days of the above date, the date on which the securities are issued.
(c) Date of Issue
The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period.
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid if Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
(d) Risk of voting dilution
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares).
There is a risk that:
-
the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
the securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The table shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of three (3) different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2:

| Number of Shares on Issue |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dilution | ||||
| Number of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Facility |
Funds raised based on issue price of $0.023 (50% decrease in Market Price) |
Funds raised based on issue price of $0.046 (Current Market Price) |
Funds raised based on issue price of $0.069 (50% increase in Market Price) |
|
| 601,295,275 (Current Variable A) |
60,129,528 | $1,382,979 | $2,765,958 | $4,148,937 |
| 901,942,913 (50% increase)* |
90,194,291 | $2,074,469 | $4,148,937 | $6,223,406 |
| 1,202,590,550 (100% increase)* |
120,259,055 | $2,765,958 | $5,531,917 | $8,297,875 |
- The number of Shares on issue (variable “A” in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Notes: The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 19 April 2022.
-
The current market price set out above is the last price at which Shares were traded prior to 19 April 2022 (being $0.046).
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1.
(e) Allocation policy
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility.
The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors, or both, none of whom will be a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.
The Company’s allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:
-
the purpose of the issue (for cash consideration) during the 10% Placement Period;
-
the structure and timeframe of capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata entitlements issue or an offer under a share purchase plan);
-
the potential effect on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and likely future capital requirements of the Company;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.
Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past twelve (12) months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the 10% Placement Period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As at the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue Equity Securities in relation to any parties, investors of existing securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Board reserves the right to determine at the time of any issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.
If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.
Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of Equity Securities.
10 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
(f) Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Facility
The Company may decide to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for cash consideration to raise funds for the purpose of advancing any of its projects, potential acquisitions or investments and working capital.
(g) Previous Approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its previous annual general meeting held on 19 August 2021.
In the twelve (12) months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued 18,816,129 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A. This represents 3.75% of the total number of Shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Details of the issue under Listing Rule 7.1A are set out Schedule 1.
(h) Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice
7.4 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 as it will give the Company the flexibility to raise and fund working capital whilst preserving the Company’s cash reserves.
7.5 Voting intention
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
8. Resolutions 5(a), 5(b) and 6 – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares
8.1 General
As of the date of this Notice, the Company has raised a total of $4,250,000 (before costs) by way of two private placements to professional, sophisticated and other exempt investors, comprising existing and new shareholders, through the issue of:
-
(a) 37,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.04 per Share on 27 October 2021; and
-
(b) 57,291,670 Shares at an issue price of $0.048 per Share on 15 February 2022,
( Placement Shares ).
No capital raising fees were paid for each placement. The Placement Shares issued are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with all other existing Shares on issue.
75,975,541 of the Placement Shares were issued using the Company’s 15% annual capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, with the remaining 18,816,129 being issued under the Company’s 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolutions 5(a), 5(b) and 6 seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of Placement Shares.
Resolutions 5(a), 5(b) and 6 are ordinary resolutions.
8.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any twelve (12) month period than the amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that twelve (12) month period.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1A is contained in section 7.2 above. The Company obtained approval for the 10% Placement Facility at its last annual general meeting held on 19 August 2021. The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies a previous issue or agreement to issue securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue or agreement to issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A) those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.
The issue of Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions, and as they have not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, they effectively use up part of the aggregate 25% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A,
11 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the twelve (12) month period following the issue date.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolutions 5(a), 5(b) and 6 will be to restore the Company’s ability to issue further Equity Securities, to the extent of 94,791,670 Equity Securities (comprised of 75,975,541 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 and 18,816,129 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A) during the next twelve (12) months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolutions 5(a), 5(b) and 6 are not passed, the Placement Shares under the relevant Resolution will be counted towards the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and/or the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A (as applicable), effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue or agree to issue without Shareholder approval over the twelve (12) month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
8.3 Specific information required under Listing Rule 7.5
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification:
-
the Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors, and other exempt investors (or their nominees), none of whom are related parties of the Company nor considered to be “material investors” for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.2. The allottees consisted of new investors and existing Shareholders, including members of the management team, identified and arranged by the Board;
-
a total of 94,791,670 Placement Shares were issued as follows:
-
37,500,000 Placement Shares were issued at $0.04 per Share under Listing Rule 7.1, within the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity, on 27 October 2021;

18,816,129 Placement Shares were issued at $0.048 per Share under Listing Rule 7.1A, within the Company’s 10% Placement Capacity, on 15 February 2022;
-
the Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement;
-
a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice; and
-
the funds raised have been and will continue to be applied towards the acceleration of growth initiatives for the Company’s Internet of Things ( IoT ) connectivity solutions platform, Flexiroam Solutions, and these initiatives include:
-
development of core features for IoT clients in new verticals;
-
engineering resources to support ongoing and new product development;
-
development of corporate partnerships to further penetrate the global market for travel and IoT solutions; and
-
closing out deals to deliver highly scalable bespoke IoT solutions, plug and play IoT solutions and white label data reseller agreements.
8.4 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 5(a), 5(b) and 6 so as to refresh the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, and give the Company the flexibility to raise additional funds through the offer and issue of Equity Securities, if and as required.
8.5 Voting intention
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 5(a), 5(b) and 6.
9. Resolution 7 – Approval to issue 10,000,000 FY2023 CEO Performance Rights to Mr Marc Barnett
9.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot 10,000,000 FY2023 CEO Performance Rights to Mr Marc Barnett, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or his nominee).
The CEO Performance Rights are intended to provide a continuing incentive for Mr Barnett as he executes a global strategy and leads Flexiroam through its next phase of growth. The Board (other than Mr Barnett) has carefully
12 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
considered the key project and business objectives and believe that offering the performance rights is an appropriate method for linking the Company’s current remuneration structure to the achievement of short-term to medium-term goals, including the creation of sustainable growth for Shareholders.
The Company intends to grant the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights under the Company’s Employee Incentive Plan ( Plan ).
The FY2023 CEO Performance Rights will vest and become exercisable into Shares for nil consideration:
-
(a) upon announcement by the Company on the ASX market announcements platform that it has achieved a revenue target of $7.2 million in the financial year commencing 1 April 2022 and ending on 31 March 2023; and
-
(b) Mr Barnett’s continued employment with the Company at the time the above condition is satisfied.
The revenue target of $7.2 million for the 2023 financial year has been reviewed and approved by the Board, in line with the Company’s strategic plan, which emphasises the following priorities for its Travel and Solutions businesses:
-
Enhancing the product infrastructure and strengthening the core platform to continue to scale to billions of devices globally
-
Developing new features and solutions based on market demands as the business remains committed to expanding across multiple verticals and use cases globally and growing new and existing verticals
-
Developing and enhancing corporate partnerships to drive global penetration across Travel and Solutions
-
For the avoidance of doubt, the revenue target for the 2023 financial year will be recognised and calculated in accordance with AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers and will exclude or disregard:
-
one-off or extraordinary revenue items;
-
revenue received in the form of government grants, allowances, rebates or other hand-outs; and
-
revenue or profit that has been “manufactured” to achieve the vesting condition outlined in section 9.1(a) above.
-
The revenue target will also be independently assessed by the Company’s auditor, Rothsay Audit and Assurance Pty Ltd.
Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution.
9.2 Listing Rule 10.14
Under Listing Rule 10.14, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of securities to any Director under an employee incentive scheme. Shareholder approval is sought to grant the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights to Mr Barnett.
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 10,000,000 FY2023 CEO Performance Rights to Mr Barnett and incentivise Mr Barnett in a manner which is linked to value accretion for Shareholders. The Company will not require separate approval under Listing Rules 7.1 or 10.11.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of performance rights to Mr Barnett, and the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise Mr Barnett.
9.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of FY2023 CEO Performance Rights:

-
a maximum of 10,000,000 FY2023 CEO Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Barnett (or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.

-
Mr Barnett’s annual total remuneration (including superannuation) for the previous and current financial years are set out below:
| Executive Director | **2021/20221 ** | **2022/20232 ** |
|---|---|---|

These convertible securities were issued and allotted to Mr Barnett following shareholder approval obtained at the 2021 annual general meeting.
-
the following Equity Securities have been previously issued to the Directors under the Plan, following Shareholder approval obtained at the 2021 annual general meeting held on 19 August 2021:
-
10,000,000 CEO Options issued and allotted to Mr Barnett;

-
an Executive Performance Right to Mr Kenn Tat (Jefrey) Ong for FY2022, representing Shares up to a maximum value of $60,000, split into two equal tranches of $30,000 each;
-
the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights are considered an appropriate form of incentive remuneration as they align the interests the holder with the financial success of the Company, while preserving the Company’s cash reserves. They also do not represent any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights on the terms proposed;
-
the value in which the Company attributes to the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights and its basis is set out in Schedule 3;
-
the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights will be issued no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rule) and it is intended that all of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights will be granted on the same date;
-
the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration as they will be issued as short-term to medium-term incentives for Mr Barnett. Accordingly, no funds will be raised as a result of the issue. Any Shares issued on the achievement of the revenue target will be issued for nil consideration;
-
a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan are 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;
-
no loan has been or will be given to Mr Barnett in relation to the issue of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights;
-
details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the Company’s annual report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14; and
-
any persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after Resolution 7 is approved and who were not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
9.4 Section 200E of the Corporations Act
Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a 'managerial or executive office' (as defined in the Corporations Act) if an exemption applies or if the benefit is approved by shareholders in accordance with section 200E of the Corporations Act.
Mr Barnett holds a 'managerial or executive office' by virtue of him being the Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Director of the Company.
Under the terms and conditions in Schedule 2, under which the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights the subject of Resolution 7 are proposed to be issued, circumstances in which early vesting is permitted at the Board's discretion include, amongst other things, termination of a participant's employment, engagement or office with the Company due to redundancy or any other reason the Board decides, or in other circumstances where the Board exercises its discretion to allow early vesting as well as change of control events, notwithstanding that the Company will comply with its obligations under Listing Rules 10.18 and 10.19.
The termination 'benefit' under section 200B of the Corporations Act has a wide operation and relevantly includes, in the context of Resolution 7, the early vesting of FY2023 CEO Performance Rights upon the exercise of the Board's discretion or the Board determining to provide that the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights do not lapse but will continue and be vested in the ordinary course.
Resolution 7 therefore also seeks approval of any termination benefit that may be provided to Mr Barnett under the terms and conditions of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights proposed to be issued under this Resolution.
14 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
9.5 Specific information required by section 200E(2) of the Corporations Act
The value of the potential termination benefits cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Share price at the time of vesting and the number of FY2023 CEO Performance Rights that will vest or otherwise be affected. The following additional factors may also affect the benefit's value:
-
Mr Barnett's length of service and the status of any conditions attaching to the relevant FY2023 CEO Performance Rights at the time Mr Barnett’s employment or office ceases; and
-
the number of unvested FY2023 CEO Performance Rights that Mr Barnett (or his nominee) holds at the time he ceases employment or office.
-
9.6
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
give the benefit within fifteen (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 grant of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Barnett is a related party of the Company by virtue of being an Executive Director.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Barnett pursuant to Resolution 7.
9.7 Information requirements for Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights:
-
the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Marc Barnett or his nominee;
-
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval to allow the Company to issue the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights in the amount specified in section 9.1 to Mr Barnett or his nominee, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2;
-
a Black and Scholes valuation of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights is set out in Schedule 3;
-
at the date of this Notice, Mr Barnett holds the following relevant interests in Equity Securities of the Company:
-
10,000,000 CEO Options issued and allotted to Mr Barnett;
-
10,000,000 FY2022 CEO Performance Rights issued and allotted to Mr Barnett; and
-
an Executive Performance Right to Mr Barnett for FY2022, representing Shares up to a maximum value of $175,000, split into two equal tranches of $87,500 each;
assuming that Resolution 7 is approved by Shareholders, the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights are issued, vested and exercised into Shares, and no other Equity Securities are issued or exercised, Mr Barnett’s interest would represent approximately 2% of the Company’s expanded capital.
- the highest and lowest closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of this Notice were:
Highest $0.059 per Share Lowest $0.023 per Share
-
the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $0.046 per Share on 19 April 2022;
-
the issue of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders’ holdings if the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights vest and are exercised. The potential dilution effect is approximately 2% on the current Share capital structure as at the date of this Notice (being 601,295,275 Shares on 19 April 2022) and that no Shares are issued other than the Shares issued on exercise of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights. The actual dilution will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company;
-
the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights are being offered to Mr Barnett (or his nominee) at a nil issue price, accordingly, the Company will not raise any funds from the issue of the performance rights;
15 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
-
the Board (excluding Mr Barnett) believes that the grant of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights to Mr Barnett is in line with Recommendations 8.2 of the 3[rd] and 4[th] editions of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations;
-
there are no taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the FY2023 CEO Performance Rights (including fringe benefits tax); and
-
the Board (excluding Mr Barnett) considers the grant of FY2023 CEO Performance Rights to Mr Barnett is reasonable given the Company’s size and stage of development. The performance rights are a cost-effective reward incentive as opposed to alternative forms of incentives, such as the payment of cash compensation. In addition, the performance rights are structured to align the interests of the Shareholders such that the performance rights will only vest on the achievement of the revenue target set out in section 9.1 above.
9.8 Board Recommendation
The Board (other than Mr Barnett) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7 for the reasons outlined in section 9.1 above.
9.9 Voting intention
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 7.
10. Resolution 8 – Approval to issue an Executive Performance Right for FY2023 to Mr Marc Barnett
10.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot an Executive Performance Right for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 to Mr Marc Barnett, representing Shares up to a maximum value of $175,000, split into two equal tranches of $87,500 each.
As outlined in section 9.1 above, these incentive securities are intended to provide a continuing equity incentive for Mr Barnett, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and are aimed at ensuring the Executive Director’s annual remuneration is competitive and drives alignment between employee and shareholder interests.
10.2 Proposed Executive Performance Right for FY2023 to Mr Marc Barnett, Executive Director
The Company intends to grant the FY2023 Executive Performance Right under the Company’s Employee Incentive Plan ( Plan ).
The Executive Director has a maximum opportunity of 100% of his Executive Performance Right dollar value, based on the following performance measures:
-
non-financial performance components to be assessed across measures relating to the following categories:
-
operational priorities;
-
people and leadership;
-
external stakeholders;
-
individual objectives; and
-
a financial performance component based on the achievement of an Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation ( EBITDA ) value of the Company for the financial year commencing 1 April 2022 and ending on 31 March 2023 ( Relevant Period ),
(collectively, the Performance Measures ). The Performance Measures constitute vesting conditions under the rules of the Plan.
The apportionment for each tranche of the Executive Performance Right is set out in the following table:
| Performance Measures | % of tranche apportioned to conditions |
|---|---|
| FY2023 Executive Performance Right – Tranche 1 | |
| Non-financial component | up to a maximum of 75% |
| Financial component | up to a maximum of 25% |
16 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
| FY2023 Executive Performance Right – Tranche 2 | |
|---|---|
| Non-financial component | up to a maximum of 60% |
| Financial component | up to a maximum of 40% |
At the end of the 2023 financial year, the Board (other than the Executive Director) will assess achievement against the Performance Measures against a scorecard comprising quantifiable goals and objective measurement criteria in relation to the non-financial component of the Performance Measures and in accordance with the following formula to determine the actual number of Shares to be issued to the Executive Director (if any). The Executive Director’s assessment will be disclosed to the market and reported in the 2024 Remuneration Report.
A = (B / C) x D
where:
-
A is the number of Shares the Executive Director is entitled to receive under the FY2023 Executive Performance Right.
-
B is the total maximum dollar value of the Executive Director’s FY2023 Executive Performance Right.
-
C is the VWAP over the last twenty (20) trading days prior to the exercise date of the FY2023 Executive Performance Right.
-
D is the final score (out of 100%) the Executive Director has achieved for each tranche of the FY2023 Executive Performance Right.
To the extent that the Performance Measures are met, and Shares are issued to the Executive Director on exercise of the vested Executive Performance Right, a two (2) year holding lock will be applied to the Shares issued under Tranche 2 to the Executive Director from the date of issue.
The Performance Measures will be reviewed and reset annually based on financial outcomes and qualitative indicators which pertain to sustainable improvements in the Company’s business. The Board (other than Mr Barnett) will also consider the Executive Director’s role in the Company to encourage sustainable value creation for Shareholders.
For Resolution 8, Mr Marc Barnett will be assessed on the following Performance Measures:
| Performance Measure | Tranche 1 | Tranche 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Underlying EBITDA of the Company for the Relevant Period being at least -$3.8 million based on the revenue target of $7.2 million |
25% | 40% |
| Achievement of individual strategic objectives linked to business opportunities and priorities for the year from the corporate plan, upholding and improving the Company’s culture and values and directed at positioning the Company to deliver sustainable value over the longer term |
35% | 15% |
| Achievement of growth-related and operational criteria which the Board considers will contribute towards the growth trajectory of the Company, including targets around expansion of the Solutions vertical for the Relevant Period and implementation of systems and processes to reinforce analytical, diagnostic and reporting capabilities |
20% | 30% |
| Achievement of other qualitative measures associated with stakeholder relationships, risk, compliance and reputation |
20% | 15% |

10.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E is provided in section 9.6 above.
The proposed issue of an Executive Performance Right for FY2023 to Mr Barnett constitutes giving a financial benefit as the Executive Director is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. It is the view of the Board (other than Mr Barnett) that the exceptions under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act may not apply in the current circumstances.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the Executive Performance Right proposed to be issued to Mr Barnett pursuant to Resolution 8.
10.6 Specific information required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Section 219 of the Corporations Act requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in relation to the proposed issue of an Executive Performance Right for FY2023:
-
an Executive Performance Right for FY2023 (and the resultant Shares) will be issued to Mr Marc Barnett or his nominee under the Plan;
-
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval to allow the Company to issue an Executive Performance Right in the manner outlined in section 10.2 above to Mr Barnett or his nominee;
-
a Black and Scholes valuation of the Executive Performance Right for FY2023 is set out in Schedule 6;
-
at the date of this Notice, Mr Barnett holds the following relevant interests in Equity Securities of the Company:
-
10,000,000 CEO Options issued and allotted to Mr Barnett;
-
10,000,000 FY2022 CEO Performance Rights issued and allotted to Mr Barnett; and
-
an Executive Performance Right to Mr Barnett for FY2022, representing Shares up to a maximum value of $175,000, split into two equal tranches of $87,500 each;
assuming that Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders, the Executive Performance Right for FY2023 is issued, vested and exercised into Shares, and no other Equity Securities are issued or exercised, Mr Barnett’s interest would represent approximately 0.6% of the Company’s expanded capital.
- the highest and lowest closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of this Notice were:
Highest $0.059 per Share Lowest $0.023 per Share
-
the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $0.046 per Share on 19 April 2022;
-
the issue of the Executive Performance Right for FY2023 will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders’ holdings if it vests and is exercised to the total maximum value of $175,000. The potential dilution effect is approximately 0.6% on the current Share capital structure as at the date of this Notice (being 601,295,275 Shares on 19 April 2022) and that no Shares are issued other than the Shares issued on exercise of the Executive Performance Right for FY2023. The actual dilution will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company;
-
the Executive Performance Right and underlying Shares are being offered to the Executive Director at a nil issue price, accordingly, the Company will not raise any funds from the issue of the same;
-
the Board (excluding Mr Barnett) believes that the issue of an Executive Performance Right for FY2023 to the Executive Director is in line with Recommendations 8.2 of the 3[rd] and 4[th] editions of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations;
-
there are no taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of an Executive Performance Right for FY2023 (including fringe benefits tax); and
-
the Board (excluding Mr Barnett) considers the issue of an Executive Performance Right to the Executive Director for FY2023 as reasonable given the Company’s size and stage of development. The Executive Performance Right and underlying Shares are a cost-effective reward incentive as opposed to alternative forms of incentives, such as the payment of cash compensation. In addition, the Performance Measures outlined in section 10.2 above are structured to align the interests of the Shareholders such that the underlying Shares will only be granted on the achievement of the Performance Measures.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS
This form shows your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the Meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.

If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
LODGE YOUR PROXY FORM

If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolutions 1, 7 & 8.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as they see fit on that resolution.

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
-
(a) on each Proxy Form, state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
-
(b) return both forms together.
