EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolution.
The Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO RELATED PARTY – TRIPLE TALENT (OR NOMINEE)
1.1 Background
On 4 August 2023, the Company lodged a prospectus with ASIC and ASX ( Prospectus ) in connection with the Company’s pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of three (3) new Shares for every seven (7) Shares held by Eligible Shareholders, at an issue price of $0.037 per Share to raise up to approximately $8 million (before costs) ( Entitlement Offer ). Eligible Shareholders who subscribed for their entitlement in full were invited to apply for Shares in addition to their entitlement at the same issue price under a top-up facility ( Top-Up Facility ).
The Entitlement Offer closed on Thursday, 31 August 2023 and, as announced to ASX on 4 September 2023, the Company received valid applications from Eligible Shareholders for 165,469,839 Shares, being approximately 76% of the Shares available for issue under the Entitlement Offer and representing approximately $6.1 million in proceeds. This included valid applications for 36,002,131 additional Shares received under the Top-Up Facility, including from Triple Talent, an entity controlled by Director Bo Tan.
As detailed in the Prospectus, in addition to taking up its full entitlement under the Entitlement Offer, Triple Talent provided an irrevocable commitment to apply for up to $1,274,871 worth of additional Shares (equivalent to 34,455,972 Shares) under the Top-Up Facility ( Triple Commitment ) subject to FIRB approval (to the extent required), Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11, and compliance with section 606 of the Corporations Act. The Triple Commitment is to be set off against outstanding amounts owing under the various loan facilities provided by Mr Tan to the Company, as set out in the Prospectus.
The issue of up to 34,455,972 Shares to Triple Talent comprising the Triple Commitment ( Triple Commitment Shares ) is subject to Shareholder approval under this Resolution.
The remaining shortfall under the Entitlement Offer (approximately 51,716,463 Shares, representing approximately $1.9 million in proceeds) ( Shortfall ) will be offered to investors invited by the lead manager to the Entitlement Offer, Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ( Lead Manager ), to participate in the Shortfall.
Refer to the Prospectus and the Company’s ASX announcements dated 4 August 2023, 17 August 2023, and 4 September 2023 for further details of the Entitlement Offer.

1.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, the issue of the Triple Commitment Shares to Triple Talent constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to Triple Talent, an entity controlled by Mr Bo Tan, who is a related party of the Company by virtue of him being a Director.
It is the view of the Directors (other than Mr Bo Tan) that the exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Triple Commitment Shares to Triple Talent, as the Triple Commitment Shares will be issued on arm’s length (or worse for Mr Bo Tan) terms and on the same terms as were offered to other Eligible Shareholders pursuant to the Entitlement Offer. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not being sought for the issue of the Triple Commitment Shares to Triple Talent for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
1.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) 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 pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) 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 Shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),
unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.
Mr Bo Tan, a Director, is a director and controller of Triple Talent. Given Mr Tan is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director, and Mr Tan controls Triple Talent, Triple Talent is also a related party for the purposes of the Listing Rules.
8
==> picture [99 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Triple Talent currently holds 34,972,690 Shares (which includes Shares issued to Triple Talent under the Entitlement Offer pursuant to Triple Talent’s entitlement), with voting power in the Company of 5.48%.
The proposed issue of the Triple Commitment Shares to Triple Talent 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.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes to issue the Triple Commitment Shares to Triple Talent.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Triple Commitment Shares to Triple Talent which will be set off against the outstanding amounts owing under the various loan facilities provided by Mr Tan to the Company (as set out in the Prospectus), leaving the Company with no debt.
Based on the information known as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the impact of passing this Resolution on Triple Talent’s voting power in the Company is as follows:
| Number of Shares | Percentage voting power in the Company (assuming the Lead Manager places 100% of the remaining Shortfall) |
Percentage voting power in the Company (assuming the Lead Manager is unable to place the remaining Shortfall) |
|---|---|---|
| 69,428,663 | 9.59 | 10.57 |
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Triple Commitment Shares to Triple Talent, which accordingly will not be set off against the outstanding amounts owing under the various loan facilities provided by Mr Bo Tan to the Company (as set out in the Prospectus), leaving the Company liable to repay the aggregate outstanding amounts owing to Mr Bo Tan (of $1,274,871) and increasing the Company’s debt.
1.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
The following further information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) the Triple Commitment Shares will be issued to Triple Talent (or its nominee), as noted above;
-
(b) Triple Talent is a related party of the Company, by virtue of being an entity controlled by a Director (Mr Bo Tan), and therefore falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1;
-
(c) up to 34,455,972 Shares will be issued to Triple Talent (or its nominee);
-
(d) all of the Triple Commitment Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the Company;
9
==> picture [99 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
-
(e) the Triple Commitment Shares will be issued on a date which will be no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting;
-
(f) the issue price for the Triple Commitment Shares is $0.037 per Share, with the full subscription amount payable by Triple Talent to be set off against the outstanding amounts owing under the various loan facilities provided by Mr Bo Tan to the Company;
-
(g) the purpose of the issue of the Triple Commitment Shares to Triple Talent is to set off outstanding amounts owing under the various loan facilities provided by Mr Bo Tan to the Company, leaving the Company with no debt;
-
(h) the issue of the Triple Commitment Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr Bo Tan;
-
(i) the Triple Commitment Shares will be issued pursuant to a commitment letter with Triple Talent, whereby Triple Talent:
-
(i) provided an irrevocable commitment to apply for up to $1,274,871 or 34,455,972 Shares under the Top-Up Facility, subject to FIRB approval (to the extent required), Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11, and compliance with section 606 of the Corporations Act;
-
(ii) agreed that payment for the Triple Commitment Shares would be set off against outstanding amounts owing under various loan facilities (assigned to Triple Talent) provided by Mr Bo Tan to the Company; and
-
(iii) warranted that the issue of the Triple Commitment Shares does not require FIRB approval, or to the extent FIRB approval is required it has already been obtained,
which is otherwise on standard terms and conditions for a commitment letter of its type; and
- (j) a voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution as set out in the Notice of Meeting.
If approval is given for the issue of the Triple Commitment Shares under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
1.5 Directors’ recommendation
Mr Bo Tan declines to make a recommendation about this Resolution as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.
The Directors (in the absence of Mr Bo Tan) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
The Directors are not aware of any other information that would reasonably be required by the Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass this Resolution.
