REGULATORY INFORMATION

Annual Report
The Annual Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024, which includes the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report, will be laid before the Annual General Meeting.
There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report. However, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions or make comments about the Annual Report and the management of the Company.
A representative of the Company’s auditor, HLB Mann Judd, will be in attendance to respond to any questions raised of the auditor or on the Auditor’s Report in accordance with section 250T of the Corporations Act.
==> picture [6 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
Section 249L(2) of the Corporations Act requires a company to inform shareholders that a resolution on the remuneration report will be put at an annual general meeting. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a resolution that the remuneration report adopted be put to a 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 or the Company. However, the Directors take the discussion at the meeting and the outcome of the vote into account when considering the Company’s remuneration practices.
Following consideration of the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2024, the Chair, in accordance with section 250SA of the Corporations Act, will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
If at least 25% of the votes cast on a resolution for the adoption of a Remuneration Report are voted against at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution proposing that another general meeting be held within 90 days, at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) would be up for re-election.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Cecilia Camarri
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution which seeks to approve the re-election of Cecilia Camarri as Non-Executive Director of the Company.
In accordance with clause 11.1 of the Constitution, at every annual general meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being must retire from office by rotation and are eligible for reelection. 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.
6
These requirements for a Director to retire do not apply to a Managing Director (but if there is more than one Managing Director, only one is exempt from retirement).
In determining the number and identity of the Directors to retire by rotation, the Managing Director and any Director seeking election after appointment by the Board to fill a casual vacancy are not considered.
Ms Camarri retires by rotation at this meeting and, being eligible, offers herself for re-election.
A brief biography of Ms Camarri is set out below.
==> picture [14 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

The Directors (other than Ms Camarri) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
==> picture [7 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
Resolution 3 – Adoption of Employee Incentive Plan
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution which seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the Company’s new employee incentive plan (“ Plan ”) and retain the ability to issue up to a maximum of 9,881,246 securities pursuant to the Plan over a period of three (3) years from the date of the Meeting, excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rules 10.14 or 10.11.
==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
General
The Board is committed to incentivising and retaining the Company’s key employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company in a manner which promotes alignment of their interests with Shareholders’ interests, whilst ensuring the Company’s remuneration package for all eligible participants is market competitive. The Company’s ability to execute this strategy is dependent on the experienced talent that the Company has recruited or engaged, and their retention and alignment with Shareholders’
7
interests is critical. At the same time, the Company desires to maintain the flexibility to respond promptly to maximise opportunities afforded by capital markets.
On 1 October 2022, amendments to the Corporations Act commenced, simplifying the process for incentivising participants under employee share schemes (“ ESS ”). Division 1A was introduced into Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, providing a new regime for the making of offers in connection with an ESS (“ New Regime ”). The New Regime replaces the relief afforded by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (“ Class Order ”), which had previously been in force since 30 October 2014.
The Board seeks to update its ESS to ensure it complies with the New Regime and, in doing so, considers it is preferrable in the circumstances to replace the existing employee incentive plan with the Plan rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.
Further, the Company is required to obtain Shareholder approval for the issue of securities under the Plan so that any issue of securities under that Plan within the next three years falls within the ASX Listing Rule exception and will not reduce the Company’s available placement capacity. A resolution to this effect (i.e., to ‘refresh’ its employee incentive plan) which was last approved by Shareholders at the Company’s 2021 annual general meeting.
Accordingly, the Board seeks further Shareholder approval for the issue of securities under the Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13.
==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
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.
Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
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 obtained pursuant 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.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of three (3) years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 4.3(c) below) 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.
8
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the 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 equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of those securities.

Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following technical information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3:

Summary of the Plan
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in the Schedule.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Securities previously issued under the Plan
The Company has not issued any securities under the Plan as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Plan.
However, for the sake of clarity, a summary of the securities issued under the Company’s previous employee incentive plan since 25 November 2021 (being the date on which it last obtained shareholder approval under Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2) is set out in the table below:
| Date | Number/Class of Securities |
|---|---|
| 25 November 2021 | 500,000 Performance Rights1 |
| 22 September 2022 | 2,500,000 Performance Rights2 |
| Total | 3,000,000 Performance Rights |
Notes:
-
Performance Rights vested and were exercised on 14 July 2023 on meeting the vesting condition that the 10-day volume weighted average price (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Shares exceeded $1.00 per Share; and
-
Performance Rights will only vest and become exercisable when the 5-day volume weighted average price (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Shares first exceeds $3.60 per Share before expiry date of 22 September 2025.
==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Maximum number of securities to be issued under the Plan
The maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 9,881,246 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately, rather over the course of the three (3) year period.
==> picture [14 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
Additional information
Noting that each Director may have a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution by virtue of them being eligible to participate in the Plan, the Board refrains from making any voting recommendation in respect of Resolution 3.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

6.

7.

(including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the holder) with the consent of the Board in which case the Awards may be exercisable on terms determined by the Board.
A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to an Award that has been granted to them.
9.
Vesting of Awards
Any vesting conditions applicable to the Awards will be described in the offer document. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the eligible participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Awards have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Awards will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to an Award are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that security will lapse.
10. Forfeiture of Awards
Awards may be forfeited in circumstances including, but not limited to, the following:
-
(a) in the case of unvested Awards only, where the holder ceases to be an eligible participant (e.g. is no longer employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Company and any associated bodies corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act);
-
(b) in the case of unvested Award only, where an eligible participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently or materially breaches their duties or obligations to the Company;
-
(c) where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in accordance with the Plan or as otherwise provided in an offer document;
-
(d) on the date the eligible participant becomes insolvent; or
-
(e) on the relevant expiry date.
11. Quotation
Awards granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of Awards granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange.
12.
Exercise of Awards and Cashless Exercise
To exercise an Award, the eligible participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next paragraph below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Awards (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the offer document or vesting notice.
An offer to apply for Awards may specify that at the time of exercise of the Awards, the eligible participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Awards specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Awards the Company will transfer or issue to the eligible participant that number of Shares equal in value
14
to the positive difference between the market value (as that term is defined in the Plan, and below) of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Awards.
Awards may not be exercised unless and until that security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
13. Rights attaching to Shares
All Shares issued upon exercise of Awards will rank equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company.
14. Change of Control
If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of the Company’s issued capital), the Board may in its sole and absolute discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the holder’s Awards will be dealt with. The Board may specify in the offer document how the Awards will be treated on a change of control event occurring, or the Board determining that such event is likely to occur, which may vary depending upon circumstances in which the eligible participant becomes a leaver and preserve some or all of the Board’s discretion under this rule.
15. Adjustments and reorganisations
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 eligible participant is entitled, upon exercise of the Awards, to receive an issue 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 Awards are exercised.
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 eligible participant holding Awards 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.
16. Buy-Back
Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy back Awards in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
17. Amendment of Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Awards have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any eligible participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying
15
with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all eligible participants.
18. Plan duration
The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the eligible participants.
