3. Resolution 1 – Consolidation of Capital
3.1 Background
This Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to undertake a consolidation of the number of Shares on issue on the basis that every 15 Shares held be consolidated into one (1) fully paid ordinary Share (rounded up to the next whole number of shares) ( Consolidation ). Similarly, the number of Options on issue will be consolidated into one (1) Option. The exercise price of the Options will be amended in inverse proportion to the consolidation ratio.
3.2 Technical information required for approval under Listing Rule 7.20
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.20, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
(i) Purpose of proposed resolution
The Directors have proposed the Consolidation for the following reasons:
-
(i) the Company currently has 3,215,943,034 Shares on issue which represents a relatively large number when compared to its listed peer group;
-
(ii) the Company’s recently expanded capital due to the Entitlements Issue increased the number of Shares held in the Company, and the Company now seeks to consolidate the capital;
-
(iii) the Directors consider that the Consolidation will assist in reducing the volatility of the Company’s share price and enable a more consistent valuation of the Company; and
-
(iv) the Consolidation is also expected to assist in positioning the Company for long term growth by making an investment in the Company’s securities more attractive to institutional and other investors.
(ii) Legal requirements
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a Company may, by resolution passed at a general meeting, convert all or any of its share into a larger or smaller number.
-
Listing Rule 7.20 provides that where an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must tell shareholders: (i) the effect of the proposal on the number of securities and the amount paid (if any) on the securities;
-
(ii) the proposed treatment of any fractional entitlements; and
-
(iii) the proposed treatment of any convertible securities on issue.
Listing Rule 7.22.1 requires that where a listed entity with Options undertakes a consolidation of its capital, the number of its Options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
(iii) Effect of Consolidation
The result of the Consolidation is that each security holding will be reduced by 15 times its current level.
As the Consolidation applies equally to all Shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of Shares (subject to rounding). Accordingly, assuming no other market movements or impacts occur, the Consolidation will have no effect on the percentage interest in the Company of each Shareholder.
The Consolidation will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of existing Shareholders.
The change in capital structure of the Company following the Consolidation, subject to adjustment for rounding, is as follows:

(iv) Fractional entitlements
Where the Consolidation results in an entitlement to a fraction of a Share or Option, that fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares or Options.
(v) Holding statements
Taking effect from the date of the Consolidation, all existing holding statements will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of securities on a post consolidation basis. New holding statements will be issued to security holders, who are encouraged to check their holdings after the Consolidation.
(vi) Taxation
The Consolidation should not result in a capital gains tax event for Australian tax residents. The cost base of the Shares held after the Consolidation will be the sum of the cost bases of the original Shares preconsolidation. The acquisition date of Shares held after the Consolidation will be the same as the date on which the original Shares were acquired.
11
This Explanatory Statement does not however consider the tax implications in respect of Shares or other securities held on revenue account, as trading stock or by non-resident Shareholders. Shareholders should consider their own circumstances and seek their own professional advice in relation to their tax position.

6.3 Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
7. Resolution 5 – Ratification of prior issue of Overallocation Shares in the 2024 Placement – Listing Rule 7.4
7.1 Background
As announced to the ASX on 14 June 2024, the Company advised Shareholders it would accept an additional $175,000 on the same terms as the placement previously announced on 24 April 2024 due to an inadvertent over-allocation during the Placement Bookbuild process.
On the 17 June 2024 ( Issue Date ), the Company issued 58,333,332 fully paid ordinary shares (3,888,889 fully paid ordinary shares on a post-consolidation basis) in the Company to sophisticated and institutional investors ( Overallocation Shares ).
The Overallocation Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, this Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Overallocation Shares so that they do not use up the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue up to 15% Shares in the 12 months following their issue.
7.2 Regulatory Requirements
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The Overallocation Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval to the Overallocation Shares and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Overallocation Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Overallocation Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
7.3 Technical information required for approval under Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
16
| Technical information required | Overallocation Shares |
|---|---|
| The names of the persons to whom the entity issued or agreed to issue the securities or the basis on which those persons were identified or selected |
The Overallocation Shares were issued to ACN 161 604 315 Pty Ltd, an entity associated with JLM 708 Capital. |
| The number and class of securities the Company issued or agreed to issue |
58,333,332 fully paid ordinary shares (3,888,889 fully paid ordinary shares on a post-consolidation basis) |
| The date or dates on which the securities were or will be issued |
17 June 2024 |
| The price or other consideration the entity has received or will receive for the issue |
The total cash consideration received by the Company was $175,000. |
| The purpose of the issue, including the use or intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the placement is for additional working capital to assist the Company in achieving its strategic goals with flexibility to take on new contracts in the Work For Hire space as well as co-development and pursuit of acquisition opportunities. |
| A summary of any material terms of the relevant agreement the securities are being issued under |
Offer price (pre-consolidation): $0.003 Offer price (post-consolidation): $0.05 |
| No reverse takeover | The Overallocation Shares are not issued under or to fund a reverse takeover. |

7.4 Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
17
8. Resolution 6 – Approval of issue of securities under Employee Incentives Plan
8.1 General
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of securities under the Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).
The purpose of the Plan is to assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants and link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation. The Company considers that adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Securities (including Performance Rights) under the Plan will align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
8.2
Listing Rule 7.1
Subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 effectively 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 the period.
8.3 Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three (3) years before the date of the issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which Shareholder approval was to Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.
8.4 Information required by Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:
-
8.4.1 a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule;
-
8.4.2 the Company has not issued any Securities under the Plan since Shareholder approval was obtained at the Company’s AGM on 29 November 2023; and
-
8.4.3 the maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan, following Shareholder approval is 160,797,152 Securities (being 5% of the number of ordinary shares currently on issue excluding new issues) (10,719,811 Securities on a post-consolidation basis).
A voting exclusion statement has been provided for this Resolution in the Agenda Section in this Notice.
18
8.5 Effect of Resolution 6
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Plan to Eligible Participants (which must not include those who otherwise require approvals under Listing Rule 10.14, such as directors, associates or directors or persons who in ASX’s opinion would require approval) over a period of 3 years from the date of approval. The issue of any Securities under the Plan (up to a maximum of 160,797,152 on Securities (on a pre-consolidation basis) stated in 8.4 above) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the future issue of Securities under the Plan to Eligible Participants, but any issues of Securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and for the 12 month period following the issue of Securities outside of the previous approval received by shareholders at the Company’s AGM on 29 November 2023.
The Directors unanimously support the Plan and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.
19
9. Resolutions 7 and 8 – Approval of issue of Options to Mr Hogg, Non-Executive Director and Approval of issue of Options to Mr Butorac, Non-Executive Director – Listing Rule 10.11
9.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 9,000,000 Options (600,000 Options on a post-consolidation basis) to each of Mr Ian Hogg or his nominee ( Hogg Options ) and up to 9,000,000 Options (600,000 Options on a post-consolidation basis) to Mr David Butorac or his nominee ( Butorac Options ) (each of Mr Hogg and Mr Butorac a Related Party ) on the terms and conditions set out below (collectively the Top Up Director Options ).
Resolutions 7 and 8 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Top Up Director Options to the Related Parties.
9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 6.2.
The issue of Top Up Director Options to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
Section 211 of the Corporations Act sets out that member approval is not needed to give a financial benefit if:
-
(a) the benefit is remuneration to a related party as an officer or employee of the public company or a company that controls or is controlled by the public company; and
-
(b) to give the remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the public company giving the remuneration and the related party’s circumstances, including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment.
The Directors (other than the Related Parties) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required with respect to the Top Up Director Options because the agreement to issue the Top Up Director Options to the Related Parties was reached as part of changes to the remuneration package for the Related Parties due to the Company’s financial circumstances, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances, was negotiated on an arm’s length basis and the value of the Options being based on Black Scholes valuation factoring the exercise price per Option being based on the market price of the Company’s Shares on 5 March 2024.
9.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a
-
10.11.2 substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of
-
10.11.3 the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules
- 10.11.5 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders, unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
20
The issue of the Top Up Director Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 7 and 8 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Top Up Director Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
9.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 7 and 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Top Up Director Options to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Top Up Director Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Top Up Director Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 7 and 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Top Up Director Options.
If one of either Resolution 7 or Resolution 8 is passed, then the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Top Up Director Options the subject of the Resolution that was passed, to the relevant Related Party within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). With respect to the Resolution that was not passed, then the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Top Up Director Options the subject of that Resolution to that relevant Related Party.
For the sake of completeness, Resolutions 7 and 8 are not dependent on each other, with the effect that both Resolutions may be passed or not passed, or one is passed while the other is not passed, and accordingly the relevant securities will be issued for the Resolution or Resolutions that are passed.
9.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

SCHEDULE
KEY TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE EMPLOYEE INCENTIVES PLAN
The key terms of the Employee Incentives Plan are as follows:
1. Eligible Participant
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan.
2. Purpose
The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
a. assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
b. link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
-
c. align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
3. Administration of the Plan
The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the rules of the Plan in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
4. Eligibility, Invitation and Application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an Invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the Invitation by sending a completed Application Form to the Company. The Board may accept an Application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the Invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the Invitation.
5. Grant of Securities
The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed Application Form, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Invitation, the rules of the Plan and any Ancillary Documentation required.
6. Term of Convertible Securities
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible other than those expressly set out in these the rules of the Plan. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
7. Vesting of Convertible Securities
Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the Invitation. A Convertible Security will only vest on the occurrence or satisfactions of the Vesting Conditions specified in respect of that Convertible Security. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
25
8. Exercise of Convertible Securities
To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed Notice of Exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the Exercise Price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the expiry date of the Convertible Securities specified in the Invitation. An Invitation may specify that, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in the Invitation, the Participant may elect for a Cashless Exercise. Where the Participant elects for a Cashless Exercise, the Company will issue to the Participant the number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the Exercise Price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
9. Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of Convertible Securities by a Participant, the Company will issue, allocate or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under these Rules; and/or where permitted in the Invitation, pay a cash amount to that Participant. Where Convertible Securities may be delivered in accordance with either Shares or a cash amount, the Board may determine the preferred settlement of its obligations in its absolute discretion.
10. Forfeiture of Convertible Securities
Unless the Invitation provides otherwise, if a Participant becomes a Leaver, the Participant may retain all of their vested Convertible Securities; and must forfeit all of their unvested Convertible Securities on a date determined by the Board, unless the Board provides express written consent that the Participant may retain some or all of their unvested Convertible Securities. Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
11. Change of control
If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
12. Rights attaching to Plan Shares
All Plan Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. If Plan Shares are in the same class as Shares which are listed on the ASX, the Company will apply for quotation of the Plan Shares issued (or any unquoted Plan Shares transferred) within the time required by the Listing Rules after the date of allotment. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
13. Disposal restrictions on Plan Share
Subject to the Company having to impose a Restriction Period on Plan Shares to the extent necessary to comply with any escrow restrictions imposed by the Listing Rules, the Board may, in its discretion, determine in the Invitation or at any time up until the exercise of the Convertible Securities, that a Restriction Period will apply to some or all of the Plan Shares. The Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to restrict a Participant from dealing with any Plan Shares subject to the Restriction Period for as long as those Plan Shares are subject to the Restriction Period.
For so long as a Plan Share is a Restricted Plan Share, the Participant will not transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a Security Interest granted over that Plan Share; or take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.
26
14. Adjustment of Convertible Securities
If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights. Subject to the above paragraph, during the currency of any Convertible Securities and prior to their exercise, the holders of Convertible Securities are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company as a result of their holding of Convertible Securities.
15. Restrictions on and amendments to the Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the rules of the Plan, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the rules of the Plan be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
