EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
1.1 Background
As announced on 20 December 2023, the Company received firm commitments from professional and sophisticated investors, directors and management of the Company and Collins St Convertible Notes Pty Ltd ( CSCN ) for a placement of 213,777,778 Shares at an issue price of $0.009 per new Share ( Placement Shares ) to raise approximately $1,924,000 via a two-tranche placement ( Placement ).
Pursuant to the terms of the Placement, the Company proposed to issue the Placement Shares together with one (1) free attaching unlisted Option (exercisable at $0.015 on or before the date that is two (2) years from the date of issue) for every two (2) Placement Shares subscribed for ( Placement Options ).
Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (ACN 124 752 745) ( Canaccord ) acted as lead manager and bookrunner to the Placement ( Lead Manager ).
On 27 December 2023, the Company issued 111,111,112 Placement Shares comprising:
-
(a) 49,078,932 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1 ); and
-
(b) 62,032,180 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 2 ).
The Company also announced that the Company’s directors, Peter Rohner and Sunny Loh, have made commitments to subscribe for up to an aggregate of $462,000 under the Placement and receive up to 51,333,333 Placement Shares and 25,666,667 Placement Options ( Director Participation ). Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval of the Director Participation in the Placement for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. Refer to Section 3 below for further information regarding Resolutions 4 and 5.
In addition to the commitments referred to above, the Company also announced that CSCN has made a commitment to subscribe for up to $462,000 under the Placement to receive up to 51,333,333 Placement Shares and 25,666,667 Placement Options ( CSCN Participation ). Further, CSCN have indicated an intention to, subject to shareholder approval, convert $900,000 of the convertible note debt into equity on the same terms as the Placement. For the avoidance of any doubt, the funds raised on conversion of the convertible note debt into equity is in addition to the funds raised under the Placement). Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval of the Debt Conversion (defined below) for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the CSCN Participation in the Placement for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. Refer to Sections 4, 5 and 6 below for further information regarding Resolutions 6, 7 and 8.
7
Subject to receiving Shareholder approval at this Meeting, the Company will issue up to:
-
(a) 55,555,556 Placement Options to unrelated parties who participated in the Placement ( Placement Participants ) (being the subject of Resolution 3 );
-
(b) 45,777,778 Placement Shares and 22,888,889 Placement Options to Peter Rohner (or his nominee) (being the subject of Resolution 4 );
-
(c) 5,555,555 Placement Shares and 2,777,778 Placement Options to Sunny Loh (or his nominee) (being the subject of Resolution 5 ); and
-
(d) 51,333,333 Placement Shares and 55,666,667 Placement Options to CSCN (being the subject of Resolution 8 ),
(together, the T2 Placement Securities ).
Further details in respect of the Placement are set out in the ASX announcement released by the Company on 20 December 2023.
1.2 General
As set out above, on 27 December 2023, the Company issued 111,111,112 Shares at an issue price of $0.009 per Share to raise $1,000,000 ( T1 Placement Shares ).
A total of 49,078,932 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1 ) and 62,032,180 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 29 November 2023 (being the subject of Resolution 2).
The issue of the T1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
1.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 29 November 2023.
The issue of the T1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Shares.
8
1.4 Listing Rule 7.4
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. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the T1 Placement Shares.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the T1 Placement Shares.
1.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the T1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Shares.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the T1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Shares.
1.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:
-
(a) the T1 Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who were identified by the Directors of the Company and Canaccord who acted as lead manager and book`runner to the Placement. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Directors and Canaccord seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:
-
(i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
9
-
(c) 111,111,112 T1 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:
-
(i) 49,078,932 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1 ); and
-
(ii) 62,032,180 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2 );
-
(d) the T1 Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(e) the T1 Placement Shares were issued on 27 December 2023;
-
(f) the issue price was $0.009 per T1 Placement Share under both the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the T1 Placement Shares; and
-
(g) the purpose of the issue of the T1 Placement Shares was to raise $1,000,000, which will be applied towards exploration at the Company’s wholly owned Twin Hills and Yandan Gold Projects (including drilling at the Lone Sister and 309 deposits, and regional geochemical and geophysical programs) and provision of working capital.
2. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE FREE ATTACHING OPTIONS
2.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, the Company is proposing to issue up to 55,555,556 Placement Options exercisable at $0.015 on or before the date that is two (2) years from the date of issue.
As summarised in Section 1.3 above, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the Placement Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options. In addition, the issue of the Placement Options 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 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options.
Resolution 3 is an independent Resolution.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options.
10
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3 :
-
(a) the Placement Options will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who participated in the Placement;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:
-
(i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
-
(c) the maximum number of Placement Options to be issued is 55,555,556. The terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 1;
-
(d) the Placement Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Placement Options will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the Placement Options will be nil as they will be issued free attaching with the Shares under the Placement on a 1:2 basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);
-
(f) the purpose and use of funds from the issue of the T1 Placement Shares (which the Placement Options are free attaching to) are set out in section 1.6(g);
-
(g) the Placement Options are being issued pursuant to customary placement offer letters between the Company and the Placement Participants; and
-
(h) the Placement Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
3. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES – PETER ROHNER AND SUNNY LOH
3.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, Directors Peter Rohner and Sunny Loh (or their nominees) (together, the Related Parties ) have provided commitments to subscribe for up to an aggregate of 51,333,333 Shares and 25,666,667 Options in the Placement on the same terms as the Placement Participants ( Participation ).
Accordingly, resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of:
11
-
(a) 45,777,778 Shares and 22,888,889 Options to Peter Rohner (or his nominee(s)); and
-
(b) 5,555,555 Shares and 2,777,778 Options to Sunny Loh (or his nominee(s)),
on the terms and conditions set out below.
The 51,333,333 Shares and 25,666,667 Options are together referred to as the Participation Securities .
3.2 Director Recommendation
-
(a) Peter Rohner is an executive Director of the Company and therefore Peter Thompson, the “non-interested director”, believes that the issue of the Participation Securities to Peter Rohner is in line with Recommendation 8.2 of the 4[th] edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations;
-
(b) Peter Thompson acknowledges that the issue of the Participation Securities to the non-executive Director of the Company, Sunny Loh, is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the 4[th] edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, Peter Thompson considers the issue of the Placement Securities to Sunny Loh to be reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in Sections 3.6(g) and 3.6(h);
-
(c) Peter Thompson recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5 for the reasons set out in Sections 3.6(g) and 3.6(h). In forming his recommendation, Peter Thompson considered the experience of the Related Parties, the current market price of Shares, the current market standards and practices when determining the number of Participation Securities to be issued to each of the Related Parties, as well as the terms of those Placement Securities; and
-
(d) each Director (other than Peter Thompson) has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 and 5 on the basis that the Directors (other than Peter Thompson) (or their nominees) are to be issued Participation Securities on the same terms and conditions should Resolutions 4 and 5 be passed. For this reason, the Directors (other than Peter Thompson) do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 4 and 5 of this Notice.
3.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 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 Participation will result in the issue of Participation Securities which constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
As the Participation Securities are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors other than Peter Thompson, the “non-interested director”, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Participation Securities. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of the Participation Securities to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
3.4 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;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 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 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
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 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.
The Participation 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 4 and 5 seek the required Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
3.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Subject to the passing of Resolutions 5 to 8 in relation to Resolution 4, and Resolutions 4, 6, 7 and 8 in relation to resolution 5, if Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Participation Securities 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 Placement Securities (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Placement Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
13
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Participation Securities and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.
Resolution 4 is conditional on Resolutions 5 to 8 also being passed, and Resolution 5 is conditional on Resolutions 4, 6, 7 and 8 also being passed. Therefore, if Resolutions 4 to 8 are not passed, the Board will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Participation Securities and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.
3.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

15
to 808,432,926 (assuming that no other Shares are issued and no other convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 9.5%, comprising 89.2% by Peter Rohner and 10.8% by Sunny Loh;
The market price for Shares during the term of the Options would normally determine whether or not the Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

4. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO AMEND TERMS OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES HELD BY COLLINS ST CONVERTIBLE NOTES PTY LTD
4.1 Background
As initially announced on 9 September 2022, the Company entered into a convertible note agreement with Collins St Convertible Notes Pty Ltd (ACN 657 773 754) ( Convertible Note Agreement ) whereby CSCN agreed to subscribe for, and the Company agreed to issue, two convertible notes convertible into Shares for an aggregate subscription amount of $10,000,000, comprising:
-
(a) the first note, with a face value of $5,000,000 ( First Note ); and
-
(b) the second note, with a face value of $5,000,000 ( Second Note ), (together, the Convertible Notes ).
The First Note was issued on 21 October 2022 to CSCN using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and was subsequently ratified by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4 on 30 November 2022.
The Second Note was issued on 30 December 2022 to CSCN following Shareholder approval obtained by the Company at their Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2022.
The material terms and conditions of the Convertible Note Agreement are summarised in Schedule 3.
16
4.2 Proposed Amendments to the Terms
On or around 15 December 2023, the Company entered into a binding letter agreement with CSCN to amend the Convertible Note Agreement to convert $900,000 of the outstanding face value of the Second Note into Shares at the same issue price per Share under the Placement ( Debt Conversion ) and to amend the current Conversion Price of the Convertible Notes from ~$0.06 (as calculated by reference to the dilution formula from the original Convertible Note Agreement) to $0.02 ( Conversion Price Change ), both subject to Shareholder approval ( Agreement ).
Accordingly, the Company is seeking to:
-
(a) convert $900,000 convertible note debt into equity outstanding face value of the Second Note into Shares at the same issue price per Share under the Placement being $0.009, via the issue of 100,000,000 Shares and 50,000,000 free attaching Options; and
-
(b) amend the Conversion Price of the Convertible Notes held by CSCN from $0.06 to $0.02.
The Conversion Price the subject of the Conversion Price Change has been determined as approximately a 100% premium to the underlying share price (based on the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares of $0.0102 immediately prior to the signing of the binding letter agreement).
The effect of the Conversion Price Change on issued equity is illustrated below:
| Current Terms | **Proposed Terms1 ** | |
|---|---|---|
| Shares on issue | 731,432,926 | 731,432,926 |
| Convertible Notes on issue the subject of the Conversion Price Change |
2 | 2 |
| Shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes the subject of the Conversion Price Change |
114,285,714 | 500,000,000 |
| Total shares on issue post- conversion |
845,718,640 | 1,231,432,9262 |
| Total shares on issue post- conversion (including the issue of Debt Conversion Securities) |
945,718,640 | 1,331,432,9262 |
Notes:
-
1 Assuming the full amount of the Convertible Notes are converted.
-
2 Assuming the full amount of the Convertible Notes are converted, CSCN would exceed a shareholding of 20% therefore further shareholder approval would need to be obtained to issue Shares.
17
In addition, the Company is also seeking Shareholder approval for the Debt Conversion as detailed above. The issue of Shares associated with the Debt Conversion is detailed in Section 5 and is the subject of Resolution 7 .
As such, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolution 6 for the Debt Conversion and Conversion Price Change (together, the Amendments ).
The material terms of the Agreement are summarised in Schedule 4. No other amendments are being made in respect of the Convertible Notes.
4.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The effect of the Company issuing the Debt Conversion Securities using its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is that any issue of Shares on conversion of the Convertible Notes falls within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9, which provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities as a result of the conversion of convertible securities if a company complied with the ASX Listing Rules when the convertible securities were issued.
Shareholder approval for the Amendments to the terms of the Convertible Notes is required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 as an amendment to the terms of a convertible security is treated as a new issue of the Convertible Notes for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules and does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2. While the deemed new issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching 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 under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
A secondary effect of receiving Shareholder approval for the amendment to the terms of the Convertible Notes is that ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9 will apply to any Shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes being amended.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6 :
-
(a) the Convertible Notes the subject of Resolution 6 were issued to CSCN on 21 October 2022 (First Note) and 30 December 2022 (Second Note), who is not a related party of the Company;
-
(b) the number of Convertible Notes being amended pursuant to Resolution 6 is 2. The number of Shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes the subject of the Conversion Price Change is 500,000,000. The number of Shares issued pursuant to the Debt Conversion the subject of Resolution 7 is 100,000,000 and the maximum number of Options to be issued is equal to 50% of the number of Shares to be issued (being approximately 50,000,000 Options) as the Options will be issued free attaching with the
18
Shares on a 1:2 basis. The Shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(c) the Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;
-
(d) the issue price of the Convertible Notes is $5,000,000 per Convertible Note. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Convertible Notes (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options the subject of Resolution 7); and
-
(e) the purpose of the Amendments to the Convertible Notes are to amend the Conversion Price from $0.0875 to $0.02 and to undertake the Debt Conversion to repay $900,000 of the outstanding face value of the Second Note;
-
(f) the Convertible Notes the subject of this Resolution 6 were issued to CSCN under a binding agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Convertible Note Agreement and a summary of the material terms of the Agreement the subject of Resolution 6 is set out in Schedules 3 and 4; and
-
(g) the Convertible Notes were not issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover and the Amendments to the Convertible Notes are not being completed in connection with a reverse takeover.
Subject to the passing of Resolutions 4, 5, 7 and 8, if Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Amendments.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Amendments and the Company may be subject to an occurrence of an event of default under the Agreement which may have significant consequences for the Company.
Resolution 6 is conditional on Resolutions 4, 5, 7 and 8 also being passed. Therefore, if Resolutions 4 to 8 are not passed, the Board will not be able to proceed with the Amendments and the Company may be subject to the consequences outlined above, and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.
5. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES AND OPTIONS ON CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTE TO COLLINS ST CONVERTIBLE NOTES PTY LTD
5.1 General
As summarised in Section 4.1 above, and pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and CSCN have agreed that upon satisfaction of certain conditions precedent under the Agreement (refer to the summary of the Agreement contained in Schedule 4), CSCN will convert $900,000 of the outstanding face value debt of the Second Note into Shares on the same terms as the Placement.
The Company is proposing to issue up to 100,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.009 per Share, together with one free attaching Option for every two Shares subscribed for and issued, to pay down $900,000 of the outstanding face value debt of the Second Note ( Debt Conversion Securities ).
19
As summarised in Section 1.1 above, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue of the CSCN Participation falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Subject to the passing of Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 8, if Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Debt Conversion Securities.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Debt Conversion Securities and the Company will be required to pay the amount in cash. The Company may also be subject to an occurrence of an event of default under the Agreement which may have significant consequences for the Company.
Resolution 7 is conditional on Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 8 also being passed. Therefore, if Resolutions 4 to 8 are not passed, the Company be subject to the consequences set out above.

Further, assuming no Options are exercised, no convertible securities are converted or other Shares issued and the maximum number of Shares as set out above are issued, in the event all the Options issued pursuant to this Resolution were exercised the number of Shares on issue would increase to 881,432,926 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 5.7%.
6. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES AND OPTIONS TO COLLINS ST CONVERTIBLE NOTES PTY LTD

As summarised in Section 1.1 above, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

| conversion | all rights, benefits and obligations identical with, the existing |
| Shares on issue. | |
| Security | (a) The Convertible Notes will be secured by way of two |
| tranches of security agreements in respect of certain | |
| assets held by GBM. | |
| (b) The parties must work together in good faith to facilitate |
|
| the negotiation and execution of: | |
| (i) the first tranche of security documents in respect |

| (ii) the second tranche of security documents in |
|
| respect of the Second Note, before 30 |
|
| November 2022. | |

| where CSCN gives a conversion notice on or before the | |
| entitlement date for the dividend payment or other | |
| entitlement. | |
