Capital Raising Background
On the 24[th] of February 2022, the Company announced capital raising to raise approximately $15,000,000 (before costs), comprising a private placement of new Shares to sophisticated and professional investors and a securities purchase plan to existing eligible shareholders of the Company, together with a further conditional placement of Shares to the Company’s directors (together, the Capital Raising ).
Under the private placement of new Shares the Company has raised $11,815,221.80, through the initial issue of 36,922,568 Shares to sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of $0.32 per Share, raising $11,815,221.80 before costs) ( Placement ). Participants in the Placement also received 36,922,568 Options, having an exercise price of $0.48 and an expiry date of 4 September 2023.
In conjunction with the Placement, the Company announced that it would undertake a securities purchase plan ( SPP ).
The Company’s directors have also agreed to invest a further aggregate amount of $440,000 on the same terms as the Placement and SPP, subject to first obtaining Shareholder approval.
The funds raised from the Capital Raising will be used to fund the costs of the Company’s new 5-well drilling programme to accelerate pressure drawdown and initiate gas desorption in the Company’s flagship Glenaras Gas Project, and for general working capital.
In consideration for services performed as joint lead managers in respect of the Capital Raising, the Company has also agreed to issue 6,646,062 Options ( Broker Options ) to be issued in equal proportions to each of Bell Potter Securities Limited, Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited and Blue Ocean Equities Pty Ltd ( JLMs ) (or their nominee(s)).

The total dilutionary effect of the Capital Raising on a fully diluted basis, assuming that Resolutions 3 to 11 (inclusive) are passed, will be 25.0057%. This dilution comprises:
-
(a) 18.254% due to the Placement;
-
(b) 0.680% due to the investment by the Directors;
-
(c) 4.635% due to the SPP (assuming it is fully subscribed); and
-
(d) 2.1% due to the issue of Broker Options.
Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratification of 36,922,568 Shares and 36,922,568 Options
As noted in the background section of this Explanatory Memorandum, on 24 February 2022 the Company announced the Capital Raising, which included 36,922,568 Shares and 36,922,568 Options to sophisticated and professional investors pursuant to the Placement. The Placement was undertaken under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A limit the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% and 10% respectively of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
1 Note these figures in respect of the SPP are premised on the Company raising the targeted $3million, although the Director retain the discretion to take oversubscriptions and raise more than this amount.
12
The Shares and Options issued to participants in the Placement did not fall within an exception and were issued without Shareholder approval under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s 10% Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to subsequently ratify the previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A, provided the issue did not breach the maximum thresholds set by Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under those rules.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and thus the Company is seeking ratification of the Shares and Options issued pursuant to the Placement by Resolutions 1 and 2. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Shares and Options did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A at the date of issue.
Resolution 1 seeks the ratification of 7,384,515 Shares and 36,922,568 Options which were issued by the Company under the Placement using its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 2 seeks the ratification of the remaining 29,538,053 Shares which were issued by the Company under its additional capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Shares and Options issued using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue. If Resolution 2 is passed, the Shares issued using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A capacity will also be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, further increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 1 and/or Resolution 2 are not passed, the relevant issues will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 1:
| Resolution 1: | |
|---|---|

| Use of funds | The funds raised by the Unconditional Placement will be used for the purposes outlined in the section of this Explanatory Memorandum entitled “Capital Raising Background”. |

14
| the JLMs. None of the allottees are Related Parties of the Company. No Director or any of their Associates have participated in, or will receive any securities pursuant to this Resolution, however, as set out in elsewhere in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors may receive Shares and Options subject to the passing of the various other Resolutions. |

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
Resolution 3 – Approval to Issue up to 15,625,000 SPP Options
As noted in the background section of these Explanatory Memorandum, in addition to the Placement, the Company announced the SPP to existing eligible Shareholders.
Under the SPP, eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to subscribe for SPP Shares, and successful subscribers for SPP Shares will be granted the opportunity to subscribe for attaching SPP Options on the same terms as those offered under the Placement.
As described above under Resolution 1, subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A limit the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue or agree to issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% and 10%, respectively, of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of SPP Options pursuant to the SPP does not fall within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 and will be undertaken under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The proposed issue of SPP Shares falls within Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 5 meaning that the SPP Shares can be issued to participants without using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and, thus, Resolution 3 is seeking approval to issue the SPP Options pursuant to the SPP.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the SPP Options issued pursuant to the SPP will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the proposed issue of SPP Options the subject to Resolution 3 will be deducted from the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity
15
Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 3:
| Number of securities to be issued |
Up to15,625,000SPP Options. While the Company is targeting to raise $3 million under the SPP, the above maximum number of SPP Options has been calculated on the basis of a $5 million SPP raise so as to provide the Company’s Board the flexibility to accept a further investment of $2 million (at the Board’s sole discretion) in the event that the SPP is oversubscribed, without having to get further approval or rely on another exception to the Listing Rules. |
|---|---|
| Issue Price | The SPP Options are issued for nil consideration. |
| Terms of the securities |
The SPP Options: (a) have an exercise price of $0.48; (b) have an expiry date of 4 September 2023; and (c) will otherwise have the terms set out in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum. |

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
Resolutions 4 to 8 – Approval of Issue of Shares and Options to Directors
As noted in the section of this Explanatory Memorandum titled ‘Background to Capital Raising’ page 11, the Capital Raising included an investment by the Company’s Directors of $440,000 in aggregate on the same terms as the Placement.

16
(e) Mr Greg Columbus - $120,000.
Listing Rule Requirements
Listing Rule 10.11 requires that the Company obtain Shareholder approval prior to the issue of Equity Securities to a Related Party of the Company
Accordingly, Resolutions 4 to 8 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares and Options under the Capital Raising to the Directors (or their nominated Associates) in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolutions 4 to 8 are passed, the Directors will receive Shares and Options under the Capital Raising.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, no Shares or Options will be issued to Mr Shorrocks (or his nominated Associate) as part of the Capital Raising and all application money received from Mr Shorrocks (or his nominated Associate) for the Shares will be returned.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, no Shares or Options will be issued to Mr Casey (or his nominated Associate) as part of the Capital Raising and all application money received from Mr Casey (or his nominated Associate) for the Shares will be returned.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, no Shares or Options will be issued to Mr Stephen Gyula Kelemen and Gillian Claire Kelemen (as trustees of the Kelemen Superannuation Fund) (being an Associate of Mr Stephen Kelemen) as part of the Capital Raising and all application money received from Mr Stephen Gyula Kelemen and Gillian Claire Kelemen (as trustees of the Kelemen Superannuation Fund) (being an Associate of Mr Stephen Kelemen) for the Shares will be returned.

Corporations Act
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a Related Party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the Related Party. The Participating Directors are Directors and are therefore each a Related Party of the Company.
The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the SPP Shares and SPP Options pursuant to Resolutions 4 to 8, on the basis that exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies as the Participating Directors are proposing to participate in the Placement on the same terms as other participants, which are also the same terms to be offer under the SPP
17

19
As mentioned above, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and, thus, Resolutions 9 to 11 are seeking approval to issue the Broker Options pursuant to JLMs.
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the applicable number of Broker Options to Bell Potter Securities Limited.
If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the applicable number of Broker Options to Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited.
If Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the applicable number of Broker Options to Blue Ocean Equities Pty Ltd.

Resolution 12 – Approval of Long Term Incentive Plan
The Company intends to adopt a long term incentive plan ( LTI Plan ), pursuant to which the Company can issue Performance Rights, being contractual rights to acquire Shares subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions ( Performance Rights ), to eligible employees, officers and contractors of the Company and/ or their associated entities ( Eligible Employees ) to assist in the attraction, retention and motivation of those persons.
A summary of the material terms of the proposed LTI Plan is contained in Schedule 3 to this Explanatory Memorandum.
Shareholder approval of the LTI Plan and the issue of Performance Rights pursuant to the LTI Plan is being sought for the reasons set out below.
Listing Rules
As noted elsewhere in this Explanatory Memorandum, Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits, subject to certain qualified exceptions, the Company from issuing Equity Securities in excess of the 15% Threshold, unless prior Shareholder approval is obtained.
Listing Rule 7.2, provides that the general prohibition contained in Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to the issue of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme, if, in the 3 years before the date of the relevant issue, Shareholders have approved the issue of Performance Rights under the employee incentive scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Performance Rights pursuant to the LTI Plan as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 12 is passed, any Performance Rights issued in accordance with the LTI Plan during the three years following the passing of the Resolution will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will still be able to issue Performance Rights to Eligible Employees under the LTI Plan, however, any such issue will be deducted from the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
Corporations Act
21
The Corporations Act restricts the Company from giving certain “benefits” to certain persons (those who hold a managerial or executive office, as defined in the Corporations Act) on ceasing their employment with the Company ( Termination Benefits ), in the absence of prior shareholder approval unless an exemption applies.
The term “benefit” is defined broadly in the Corporations Act and includes benefits arising from the Board exercising its discretion under the rules of the LTI Plan.
Under the terms of the LTI Plan and subject to the Listing Rules, the Board possesses the discretion to vary the terms or conditions of the Performance Rights. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any amendment to the terms of any granted Performance Right. As a result of this discretion, the Board has the power to determine that some or all of a participant’s Performance Rights will not lapse in the event of the participant ceasing employment or office before the vesting of their Performance Rights, including as a result of death or total permanent disability.
The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a Termination Benefit for the purposes of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Resolution 12 also seeks Shareholder approval, for the Company to provide these Termination Benefits to participants in the LTI Plan.
This approval is being sought in respect of any current or future participant in the LTI Plan, and the Termination Benefits that may arise if and when any participants cease to be employed or engaged by the Company.
Shareholders should be aware that the Company has previously announced that, as a condition to Mr Casey’s appointment as Managing Director, it was agreed that he would be issued 2,500,000 Performance Rights, subject to finalising the terms of the relevant LTI Plan.
Except as provided for above, no other Director will participate in the LTI Plan unless separate Shareholder approval is first obtained.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) and section 200E of the Corporations Act), the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 12.
| Terms of LTI Plan | A summary of the terms of the LTI Plan is set out in Schedule 3. |

| Prior issue of Performance Rights pursuant to the LTI Plan |
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has not made any issues of Performance Rights under the LTI Plan. |
| Maximum number of Performance Rights proposed to be issued pursuant to the LTI Plan |
The maximum number of Performance Rights that are proposed to be issued under the LTI Plan in the three years following the date of the Meeting absent separate, express, Shareholder approval is 16,615,515 Performance Rights. |
| Explanation of the termination benefits |
The LTI Plan contains provisions setting out the treatment of unexercised Performance Rights, including the Board’s discretion to waive any exercise conditions attaching to those Performance Rights in the event of cessation of employment or engagement by the Company arising from, among other things, death or total permanently disability. As noted above, the exercise of these discretions by the Board will constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of the restrictions contained in the Corporations Act’s regarding Termination Benefits. |
| Value of the | Various matters will or are likely to affect that value of the |
22
| termination benefits |
Termination Benefits that the Board may give under the LTI Plan and, therefore the value of the Termination Benefits cannot be determined in advance. The value of a particular benefit resulting from the exercise of the Board’s discretion under the LTI Plan will depend on factors such as the Company’s share price at the time of the exercise of this discretion and the number of Performance Rights that the Board decides to waive the vesting conditions in respect of. Some of the factors that may affect the value of the Termination Benefits are as follows: (a) the nature and extent of any vesting conditions waived by the Board; (b) the number of vesting conditions that have been satisfied at the time that the Board exercises this discretion; and (c) the number of unexercised Performance Rights that the participant holds at the time that this discretion is exercised. |

As it is proposed that Mr Casey will receive Performance Rights pursuant to the LTI Plan, Mr Casey does not make any voting recommendation to Shareholders as to how to vote on Resolution 12.
The Directors other than Mr Casey recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12 and advise that they intend to vote the Shares they own or control in favour of it.

Schedule 3 – Summary of LTI Plan
The key terms of the LTI Plan are as follows:
-
(a) Eligibility : a person may participate in the LTI Plan if:
-
(1) the Board considers that person to be an employee of the Company, its Associated Bodies Corporate, or any other entity in the Group, or is an associate of the employee (whether full-time, part-time and whether past, current or prospective);
-
(2) the person is a director (whether executive or non-executive) of the Company, its Associated Bodies Corporate, or any other entity within the Group; or
-
(3) any person who the Board determines is to be treated as an employee under the LTI Plan including, without limitation, any contractor
( Eligible Employees ).
(b) Administration of the LTI Plan :
-
(1) The Company’s Board is responsible for operation of the LTI Plan and may determine which Eligible Employees will be offered Performance Rights under the LTI Plan.
-
(2) To the full extent permissible by the Listing Rules and law, the Board may from time to time vary the terms and conditions to which Performance Rights are subject (either collectively or on an individualised basis).
-
(3) The Board may at any time waive in whole or in part any terms or conditions (including any Performance Condition) in relation to any Performance Rights granted to any Participant.
-
(c) Offer: The Board may issue an Eligible Employee with an invitation to apply for any number of Performance Rights, on such terms as the Board determines.
-
(d) Renounceable : An invitation to an Eligible Employee to apply for Performance Rights may be renounced to:
-
(1) an immediate family member;
-
(2) a company whose members comprise no persons other than the Eligible Employee or their immediate family members; and
-
(3) a corporate trustee of a self-managed superannuation fund where the Eligible Employee is a director of the trustee.
-
(e) Performance Rights: Performance Rights issued pursuant to the LTI Plan are rights that vest and may be exercised into shares based on vesting conditions determined by the Board.
-
(f) Restriction on Transfer: Performance Rights may not be transferred, assigned, encumbered or otherwise disposed of by the participant except by transmission on the death of the participant or with the written agreement of the Board.
-
(g) Vesting: Performance Rights will vest in accordance with their vesting conditions which are determined by the Board. The Board may accelerate the vesting of Performance Rights or, by notice to the relevant participant, vary or waive vesting
30
conditions, or bring forward the date on which the Performance Rights vest.
-
(h) Exercise: Subject to any restrictions in the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules, a Performance Right is automatically exercised upon its vesting (unless the participant elects otherwise in writing).
-
(i) Rights attaching to shares: Shares issued upon exercise of a Performance Right will be fully paid ordinary shares which rank equally with all existing shares from the date of issue of such shares.
-
(j) Bonus issues: If there is a bonus issue while a participant holds a vested Performance Right, the number of shares a participant will receive upon exercise of their Performance Rights will increase by the number of shares the participant would have received if the participant had exercised their Performance Right before the record date of the bonus issue.
-
(k) Variations: If there is a variation in the share capital of the company, the number of shares over which a Performance Right is exercisable will be adjusted in the manner determined by the Board to be fair and reasonable. If the variation affects the potential for the satisfaction of a vesting condition, the Board may adjust those vesting conditions in a manner it determines to be fair and reasonable, and so as to ensure that no participant is advantaged or disadvantaged by the variation. Any adjustments pursuant to a variation will be subject to the limitations in the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
-

If a participant becomes a bad leaver, all Performance Rights granted to that participant will automatically expire and lapse.
-
(m) Termination: The Board may terminate or suspend the operation of the LTI Plan, or cancel the LTI Plan. Performance Rights granted prior to such termination or suspension shall continue, and their terms will be governed by the LTI Plan as if it had not been suspended or terminated.
