  1. SELECTIVE REDUCTION OF CAPITAL

1.1. Background

  • 1.1.1. On 2 December 2016, the company issued 28,019,936 shares to Professor Chen Xiaodong ( Prof Chen ) and 14,009,968 shares to Ntuitive Pte Ltd (a commercial arm of Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University ( NTU )) ( Ntuitive ) in their capacity as vendors of UltraCharge Israel . The shares had been issued to Prof Chen and Ntuitive pursuant to agreements with UltraCharge Israel in respect of research and development of the company’s intellectual property assets.

  • 1.1.2. On 30 August 2017, the company announced that the research agreement with NTU had come to an end, following a review of its development scope and capabilities.

  • 1.1.3. In light of the termination of the research relationship between the company and NTU , Prof Chen and Ntuitive (the cancellation shareholders ) have agreed to the cancellation of a significant proportion of the shares they received as consideration for their shares in UltraCharge Israel .

  • 1.1.4. The company proposes to cancel 28,603,987 shares ( cancellation shares ), comprising approximately 4.5% of the ordinary capital of the company ( selective reduction of capital ).

1.2. Reasons for resolution

  • 1.2.1. The cancellation of the cancellation shares is a selective reduction of capital for the purposes of the Corporations Act .

  • 1.2.2. Section 256C of the Corporations Act has the effect that shareholders must approve the selective reduction of capital by cancellation of the cancellation shares by passing special resolutions at:

5

  • (a) the annual general meeting ; and

  • (b) the special meeting .

  • 1.2.3. Resolution 1 will be passed by the cancellation shareholders as a special resolution if 75% of the votes cast by cancellation shareholders present and eligible to vote (whether in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder , by a corporate representative) are in favour of it.

  • 1.2.4. If cancellation shareholders approve resolution 1 , and subject to shareholders also passing a special resolution at the annual general meeting , the company will reduce its issued capital by 28,603,987 shares , or 4.5% of the issued capital of the company.

1.3. Financial effect of the selective reduction of capital on the Company

The cancellation of the cancellation shares for nil consideration will have no effect on the company’s financial position.

  • 1.4. Impact on control 1.4.1. The cancellation shares represent approximately 4.5% of the issued capital of the company . Other things being equal, the selective reduction of capital would have the effect of:

  • (a) decreasing the issued capital of the company by approximately 4.5%; and

  • (b) increasing each shareholder’s voting power in the company by approximately 4.7%. Accordingly, there will no material impact on control of the company .

1.5. Advantages of the selective reduction of capital

  • 1.5.1. From the company’s perspective, the selective reduction of capital will have the effect of reducing the issued capital of the company by 4.5% whilst theoretically leaving its market capitalisation unchanged; accordingly, the value of each of share increases by a corresponding amount. Shareholders not participating in the selective reduction of capital will therefore benefit from an anticipated increase in the value of their shareholdings.

  • 1.5.2. The selective reduction of capital provides no advantages to the cancellation shareholders.

1.6. Disadvantages of the selective reduction of capital 1.6.1. For the company and those shareholders not participating in the selective reduction of capital , there are no disadvantages to the proposal.

6

  • 1.6.2. For the cancellation shareholders , the disadvantage of the selective reduction of capital is that they will have a proportion of their holdings in the company cancelled for nil consideration.

1.7. What if the selective reduction of capital does not proceed?

If the selective reduction of capital does not proceed, the issued capital of the company and the holdings of cancellation shareholders will not change.

1.8. Directors’ recommendation

The directors unanimously support the selective reduction of capital and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 1 .
