Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s Annual General Meeting ( Meeting ).
The Explanatory Statement forms part of the Notice which should be read in its entirety. The Explanatory Statement contains the terms and conditions on which the Resolutions will be voted. A Proxy Form is located at the end of this Explanatory Statement.
1. Proxies
Please note that:
-
(a) a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;
-
(b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company;
-
(c) a Shareholder may appoint a body corporate or an individual as its proxy;
-

-
(e) Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.
If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as its proxy and the body corporate wishes to appoint an individual as its representative, the body corporate should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that company’s representative. The authority may be sent to the Company or its share registry in advance of the Meeting.
Even if you plan to attend the Meeting virtually via the online platform, you are still encouraged to submit your Proxy Form in advance of the Meeting so that your votes can still be counted if for any reason you cannot attend.
2. Virtual Meeting instructions
The Board has decided that the Meeting will be held through an online platform provided by Automic, the Company’s share registry service provider. Shareholders will be able to listen to the proceedings, view the presentations, send online questions to the Board and vote in real time.
Instructions and additional information regarding virtual attendance and participation are set out on pages 2 and 3 of the Notice.
3. Item 1 – Financial Statements and Reports
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Annual Report of the Company for the transitional financial year ended 30 June 2023. The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s Annual Report is available free-of-charge on its website at https://www.flexiroam.com/investor-center/.
There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or the Company's Constitution for Shareholders to vote on, approve or adopt the Annual Report. Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions about or make comments on the Annual Report and on the management of the Company.
The Auditor of the Company is required to attend the Meeting and will be available to take Shareholders' questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements contained in the Annual Report, and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
4.1 General
The Remuneration Report of the Company for the transitional financial year ended 30 June 2023 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.
4 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
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 2024 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 2024 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company’s Directors’ Report (in respect of the transitional financial year) 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 reelection 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 annual general meeting held on 19 June 2023, 99.72% 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
Clause 8.3 of the Constitution requires that an election of directors must be held at the annual general meeting each year.
This may be satisfied by a Director standing for re-election in accordance with the process set out in clause 8.3. At least one Director shall retire from office, provided always that no Director except a Managing Director shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election. The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been the longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.
A Director who retires by rotation under clause 8.3 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.
Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.
Mr Kenn Tat (Jefrey) Ong retires by rotation at this Meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
5.2 Additional information
Details of Mr Ong’s qualifications and experience is set out in the Company’s Annual Report for the transitional financial year. Mr Ong is a substantial shareholder of the Company and accordingly, 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.
5 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Ong will not be appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
5.3 Board Recommendation
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board (other than Mr Ong) supports the re-election of Mr Ong and recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 on the basis that his skills and experience will continue to support the Company in achieving its strategic objectives.
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
6. Resolution 3 – Approval for Additional 10% Placement Facility
6.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity (as defined below) to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the entity’s annual general meeting at which a special resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement limit under Listing Rule 7.1.
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 of $300 million or less. As at the date of this notice, the Company is an eligible entity. The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
6.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be in the same class as an existing class of the Company’s quoted securities.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has one quoted class of Equity Securities, being its ordinary fully paid shares (ASX: FRX) ( Shares ).
Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. That formula is:
(A x D) – E
where:
A is the number of Shares on issue before the date of issue or agreement to issue:
-
(a) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exceptions 9, 16 or 17);
-
(b) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
(i) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(ii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(c) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
(i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(d) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
(e) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid Shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(f) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the relevant period.
6 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
Note that “A” has the same meaning as in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% annual placement capacity.
D is 10%.
- E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.
“Relevant Period” means:
-
(g) if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or
-
(h) if the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, then there is a risk to existing Shareholders of economic and voting dilution, including the risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class on the issue date.
The table below identifies the potential dilution to existing Shareholders following the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility (based on the formula set out above) using different variables for the number of issued Shares and the market price of Shares.
| Number of Shares on Issue |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dilution | |||||
| New Shares issued under the 10% Placement Facility |
Voting Dilution |
Funds raised based on issue price of $0.013 (50% decrease in Market Price) |
Funds raised based on issue price of $0.026 (Current Market Price) |
Funds raised based on issue price of $0.039 (50% increase in Market Price) |
|
| 664,191,704 (Current Variable A) |
66,419,170 | 10% | $863,449 | $1,726,898 | $2,590,348 |
| 996,287,556 (50% increase)* |
99,628,756 | 10% | $1,295,174 | $2,590,348 | $3,885,521 |
| 1,328,383,408 (100%increase)* |
132,838,341 | 10% | $1,726,898 | $3,453,797 | $5,180,695 |
*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 an entitlements 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 12 September 2023.
-
The current market price used is $0.026 based on the closing price as at 11 September 2023.
-
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.
-
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.
7 | P a g e
==> picture [114 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
-
This table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(c) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the period commencing from the date of the Meeting at which the approval is obtained until the earlier of:
-
(i) the date which is twelve (12) months after the date of the Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( 10% Placement Period ).
-
(d) The Company can only issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company may use the funds raised towards its existing segments, for the purposes of advancing any of its projects, potential acquisitions, investments and/or general working capital.
-
(e) 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 identity of the persons to whom the Equity Securities will be issued will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, an entitlements issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The Company notes that:
-
prior to undertaking any fundraising, the Board will have regard to whether it is in the Company’s best interest to structure such a fundraising as an entitlements issue to all of the Company’s existing Shareholders at the time.
-
the persons to be issued securities under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but are likely to be investors who are sophisticated and/or professional investors for the purposes of section 708 of the Corporations Act. No Equity Securities will be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A to related parties of the Company.
-
(f) The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the Annual General Meeting held on 19 June 2023 ( Previous Approval ).
-
(g) The Company has not issued, nor agreed to issue, any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval in the 12-month period preceding this Notice of Meeting. Further, the Company has not agreed to issue any Equity Securities under the Previous Approval where such securities remain unissued as at the date of the Meeting.
-
(h) When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3.
-
(i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.
6.4 Additional information
