2.1 Voting by proxy
A Proxy Form is attached at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum at Annexure A. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a ‘proxy’) to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.
The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.
In accordance with articles 5.5 and 6.8 of the Constitution and section 249L(1)(d) of the Corporations Act, please note that:
-
(a) a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;
-
(b) a proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company; and
-
(c) a Shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act.
Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that:
-
if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed;
-
any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed;
-
an instrument of proxy in which the name of the appointee is not filled in is taken to be given in favour of the Chair; and
-
if a Shareholder does not instruct its proxy on how to vote, the proxy may, subject to any voting exclusions applicable to each Resolution, vote as he or she sees fit at the Meeting.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote
Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:
-
(a) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed);
-
(b) if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;
Page 12
-
(c) if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
(d) if the proxy is not the Chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).
Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:
-
(a) an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company’s members;
-
(b) the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting;
-
(c) at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded, or is otherwise required under section 250JA on the resolution; and
-

the Chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.
2.2 Voting as a corporate representative
Corporate shareholders who wish to appoint a representative to attend the Meeting on their behalf must provide that person with a properly executed letter or other document confirming that they are authorised to act as the corporate shareholder’s representative. The authorisation may be effective either for the Meeting only or for all meetings of the Company.
2.3 Voting by power of attorney
The appointment of an attorney for the Meeting is not effective unless the instrument appointing the attorney, and the original or an attested copy of the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which the instrument is signed, are received by the Company Secretary or delivered to the Company’s registered office by no later than the commencement of the Meeting.
2.4 Chair’s voting intentions
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention. Without limiting the above, where you have appointed the Chair as your proxy (or the Chair becomes your proxy by default), you expressly authorise the Chair to exercise your proxy on Resolutions 1 and 9 (except where you have indicated a different voting intention on your Proxy Form), even though Resolutions 1 and 9 are connected directly or indirectly with remuneration of members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel.

4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
4.0
General
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2025 in the Annual Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the specified executives and non-executive Directors.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
4.1 Voting consequences
If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election ( Spill Resolution ).
The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2024 annual general meeting held on 19 November 2024, where the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 received a vote of more than 75% in favour of the relevant resolution. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.
The Board believes that the Company’s remuneration arrangements, as set out in the Remuneration Report, are fair, reasonable and appropriate and support the strategic direction of the Company.
The voting exclusion statement for Resolution 1 is set out on page 7 of this Notice. Please refer to Section 2 in relation to important information relating to voting on this Resolution.
4.2
Board recommendation
Given the personal interests of all Directors in the outcome of Resolution 1, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders regarding Resolution 1.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.

6. Resolution 3 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares, Convertible Notes and Options to RiverFort
6.0 General
On 26 September 2025, the Company announced that it had entered into a funding agreement with RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd, a venture capital firm headquartered in the UK ( RiverFort ) for the provision of funding of up to A$6,000,000 by RiverFort to the Company ( Funding Agreement ), through the issuance of secured convertible notes at an issue price of A$1.00 per note (each, a RiverFort Convertible Note ) and attaching Options each exercisable at a price equivalent to a 55% premium of the average of the 5-day VWAP preceding the date of each drawdown under the Funding Agreement (each, a RiverFort Option ). The funding will be used predominantly for the Company’s working capital and to support its business operations.
The material terms of the Funding Agreement, including the terms of the RiverFort Convertible Notes and RiverFort Options, are set out in the Company’s announcement to the ASX on 26 September 2025 and at Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Pursuant to the terms of the Funding Agreement, the Company completed the first drawdown under the Funding Agreement on 29 September 2025, receiving a total of A$1,500,000 in loan proceeds. As consideration, the Company issued to RiverFort:
-
(a) a total of 1,500,000 RiverFort Convertible Notes with an aggregate face value and for an aggregate issue price of A$1,500,000;
-
(b) 18,506,790 attaching RiverFort Options at an exercise price of A$0.0377 per RiverFort Option and expiring on 29 March 2028; and
-
(c) as a ‘once off payment’, 8,225,240 Shares in the capital of the Company ( RiverFort Shares ) at an aggregate deemed issue price of A$200,000,
(collectively, RiverFort Securities ), in each case without Shareholder approval in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company intends to seek Shareholder ratification under Listing Rule 7.4 in respect of the issue of all of the RiverFort Securities contemplated above which, if approved, will restore approximately 89% of the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Page 17
6.1 Application of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of Equity Securities (which includes options and convertible securities) that a listed entity 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 ( 15% Placement Capacity ), subject to certain limited exceptions.
The issues of the RiverFort Securities contemplated in Resolution 3 did not qualify under any of the exceptions to the 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.2 and, accordingly, was issued in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval. This reduced the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by approximately 89%.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval. Once ratified, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby allowing the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities equal to the number of Equity Securities ratified, without shareholder approval, in reliance on the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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.
To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the RiverFort Securities specified in Section 6.0 under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

8.0 General
As announced on 16 June 2025, the Company and Mr Ilario Faenza, a Director of the Company, entered into a loan deed on 14 June 2025 pursuant to which Mr Faenza agreed to provide an unsecured loan facility of up to A$500,000 to the Company ( Director Loan Facility ) for the purpose of strengthening the Company’s balance sheet and supporting business operations.
On 25 September 2025, the Company and Mr. Faenza entered into a variation deed to amend the terms of the Director Loan Facility to, amongst other things:
-
(a) require the total principal and interest on the Director Loan Facility ( Total Outstanding Amount ) to be converted into Shares at a conversion price of A$0.016 per Share ( Loan Conversion Share ), subject to Shareholder approval; and
-
(b) extend the date for the repayment of the Total Outstanding Amount from 31 December 2025 to 31 December 2027 (unless converted earlier into Shares).
As at the date of this Notice, a total loan amount of A$500,000 has been drawn by the Company under the Director Loan Facility, with total accrued interest of A$25,685 ( Total Outstanding Amount ).
Page 23
In the event that Shareholder approval to issue the Loan Conversion Shares is not obtained, the total principal and interest owing on the Director Loan Facility will be repayable in cash at maturity on 31 December 2027.
A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Director Loan Facility as amended, is set out in Schedule 4.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 for the Company to convert the Total Outstanding Amount and issue an aggregate of 33,433,219 Loan Conversion Shares to Mr Faenza (or his nominee).
The issue of the Loan Conversion Shares to Mr Faenza would result in the following change to Mr Faenza’s shareholding and voting power in the Company:
| Director | As at the date of this Notice | As at the date of this Notice | Immediately after issue of Loan Conversion Shares |
Immediately after issue of Loan Conversion Shares |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total number of Shares held |
Total voting power |
Total number of Shares held |
Total voting power * |
|
| Ilario Faenza and his associates |
1,400,000 | 0.15% | 34,833,219 | 3.52% |
| *Assuming that no other Shares are issued after the date of the Meeting other than the Loan Conversion Shares. |
The issue of the 33,433,219 Loan Conversion Shares to Mr Faenza is not expected to have any impact on the control of the Company.
8.1 Application of Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless a specified exception set out at Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to a related party (amongst others) without the approval of its ordinary shareholders. A “related party” includes the directors of a company.
As such, Shareholder approval is sought in respect of the issue of the Loan Conversion Shares to Mr Faenza under Resolution 5 for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 and all other purposes, by virtue of his directorship.
As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of the Loan Conversion Shares (if approved) will not impact the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity.
Shareholder approval is not sought under Chapter 2E (‘Related party transactions’) of the Corporations Act as it is the view of the non-conflicted Directors (being all Directors except Mr Faenza) that any financial benefit derived by Mr Faenza from the issue of the Loan Conversion Shares are being derived on arms’ length terms.
Page 24
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 33,433,219 Loan Conversion Shares to Mr Faenza, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
8.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
The Company provides the following information with respect to Resolution 5 pursuant to Listing Rule 10.13:

A total of up to 33,433,219 fully paid ordinary shares in the issued capital of the Company is proposed to be issued under Resolution 5, if approved. |
| Date by which securities will be issued |
If Resolution 5 is approved, the Company expects to issue the Loan Conversion Shares on 1 December 2025. In any event, the Company will not issue any Loan Conversion Shares later than 1 month from the date of the Meeting, if approved. |
| Issue price | If Resolution 5 is approved, the Loan Conversion Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration. The Loan Conversion Shares will be issued on conversion of the Total Outstanding Amount (which is expected to be $534,932 as at 1 December 2025) at a conversion price of A$0.016 per Share.

8.3 Effect of Resolution 5 being passed or not passed
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Loan Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Director Loan Facility contemplated in Section 8.0. In addition, the Loan Conversion Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This effectively increases the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of those Loan Conversion Shares by approximately 3.50% in total based on the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Loan Conversion Shares and the Director Loan Facility will be repayable in cash at maturity.
8.4 Board recommendation
The Board (with Mr Faenza abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
9. Resolution 6 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares and Options to Alto Capital
9.0 General
On 11 October 2024, the Company entered into a Corporate Advisory Mandate with Alto Capital ( Adviser ) to act as a non-exclusive corporate adviser in respect of the provision of ongoing corporate and strategic advice to the Company ( Corporate Advisory Mandate ). The Corporate Advisory Mandate also contemplated a capital raising of up to A$2 million ( Capital Raising ). On 29 September 2025, the Company completed its first drawdown of A$1,500,000 (before fees) under the RiverFort Funding Agreement. This Capital Raising was coordinated and facilitated by Alto Capital and Spark Plus Pte Ltd ( Spark Plus ) as joint corporate advisers to the Company.
In consideration for Alto Capital’s assistance and coordination of the RiverFort Funding Agreement, a success fee of 6% of the total capital raised for the Company is payable to Alto Capital under the Corporate Advisory Mandate. In lieu of this fee, Alto Capital agreed to be issued the following Shares and Options:
-
(a) 3,750,000 Shares at an issue price of A$0.0001 per Share (excluding GST), of which:
-
(i) 1,875,000 Shares were to be issued to Alto Capital ( Alto Shares ); and
Page 26
-
(ii) 1,870,000 Shares were to be issued to Spark Plus, as joint corporate adviser on the Capital Raising (see Resolution 7); and
-
(b) 1,500,000 Options to Alto Capital at an issue price of A$0.00001 per Option (excluding GST), each exercisable at A$0.03 and expiring on 7 October 2028 (being 36 months from their date of issue) ( Alto Options ).
The Alto Shares and Alto Options were issued on 7 October 2025 without Shareholder approval in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the prior issue of: the Alto Shares and Alto Options which, if approved, will restore approximately 2.07% of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
9.1 Application of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
As detailed in Section 6.1 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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 the 15% Placement Capacity, subject to certain limited exceptions.
The issue of the Alto Shares and Alto Options did not qualify under any of the exceptions to the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and, accordingly, was issued in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. This reduced the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by approximately 2.07% for the 12-month period following the date of issue.
As noted in Section 6.1 above, Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify a previous issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval. Once ratified, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby allowing the Company to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval, in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity.

10.0 General
As detailed in Section 9.0, Spark Plus Pte Ltd ( Spark Plus ) and Alto Capital acted as joint corporate advisers to the Company in relation to its entry into the RiverFort Funding Agreement.
In lieu of the success fee otherwise payable in respect of the assistance and coordination of the RiverFort Funding Agreement, Spark Plus agreed to accept 1,875,000 Shares at an issue price of A$0.0001 per Share (excluding GST) as consideration for its services.
The Spark Shares were issued on 7 October 2025 without Shareholder approval in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the prior issue of Spark Shares which, if approved, will restore approximately 0.92% of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
10.1 Application of Listing Rule 7.1
As detailed in Section 6.1 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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 the 15% Placement Capacity, subject to certain limited exceptions.
The issue of the Spark Shares did not qualify under any of the exceptions to the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and, accordingly, was issued in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. This reduced the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by approximately 0.92% for the 12-month period following the date of issue.
As noted in Section 6.1 above, Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify a previous issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval. Once ratified, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby allowing the Company to issue further

Equity Securities without Shareholder approval, in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity.
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.

11.4 Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.
12. Resolution 9 – Approval to issue Loan Funded Shares to Mr Ilario Faenza pursuant to Loan Funded Share Plan
12.0 General
Resolution 9 seeks the approval of Shareholders to issue, pursuant to the Loan Funded Share Plan up to 25,000,000 Shares to a Director, Mr Ilario Faenza, at an issue price per Share equal to 97% of the VWAP of the Company’s Shares over the 5 trading days immediately preceding the Grant Date ( Loan Funded Shares ).
The Loan Funded Shares constitute the equivalent of 2.55% (on an undiluted basis) and 2.23% (on a fully diluted basis) of the total issued Share capital of the Company immediately after their issue, assuming no other Shares are issued between the date of this Notice and that time.
In accordance with the terms of the Loan Funded Share Plan, the acquisition by Mr Faenza of the Loan Funded Shares will be funded by a limited-recourse loan from the Company. The terms of that loan are summarised at Schedule 9.
The purpose of the proposed issue of the Loan Funded Shares is to compensate and further incentivise Mr Faenza for his work for the Company and its subsidiaries. Given the size of the Company, the Directors are required to undertake a range of “hands on” work to facilitate the day-to-day operations of the Company as well as corporate and strategic matters ordinarily
Page 34
handled by a bigger management team (for example, negotiation of transactions). Having regard to these contributions, the Board (with Mr Faenza abstaining) considers that the issue of the Loan Funded Shares to the Mr Faenza is an appropriate, cost effective and efficient reward for the Company to make to appropriately incentivise their respective continued performance and is consistent with the strategic goals and targets of the Company.
The maximum number of Loan Funded Shares proposed to be issued to Mr Faenza was determined having regard to:
-
(a) the current remuneration packages of Mr Faenza, which is detailed in Section 12.2;
-
the number of Equity Securities previously issued by the Company to Mr Faenza (including in lieu of fees), which is detailed in Section 12.2; and
-
(a) the comparable level of fees (including short-term and long-term equity-based incentives) paid or provided to directors in ASX-listed companies of a similar size of operation as the Company.
The Board considers the number of Loan Funded Shares proposed to be issued to Mr Faenza to be appropriate and equitable having regard to:
-
(a) the additional level of work performed by Mr Faenza given the Company’s size; and
-
(b) the current remuneration levels paid to Mr Faenza.
If the requisite Shareholder approvals to the issue of the Loan Funded Shares are not obtained at the Meeting, the Board intends to consider alternative options for Mr Faenza for his continued performance and service to the Company and its subsidiaries. This may include issuing Shares, Options or Performance Rights to Mr Faenza, subject to obtaining the requisite Shareholder approvals under the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, and/or paying Mr Faenza a cash equivalent.
A summary of the key terms of the Loan Funded Share Plan Rules is set out in Schedule 8.
A copy of the Loan Funded Share Plan Rules can be obtained, free of charge, by contacting the - Company Secretary, George Lazarou on (03) 9017 5800 or by email at investor@harvest tech.com.au .
12.1 Application of Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where the Company issues, or agrees to issue, Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the Company, an Associate of a director of the Company, or a person whose relationship with the Company, a director of the Company or an Associate of a director of the Company is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
Further, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Loan Funded Shares to Mr Faenza if the requisite Shareholder approvals are obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. This means that the issue of the Loan Funded Shares to Mr Faenza, if approved, will not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval in reliance on the 15% Placement Capacity in the 12-month period following their issue.
Page 35
Accordingly, Resolution 9 is being put to Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 to seek approval for the issue of the Loan Funded Shares to Mr Faenza.
Shareholder approval is not sought under Chapter 2E (‘Related party transactions’) of the Corporations Act as it is the view of the non-conflicted Directors (being all Directors except Mr Faenza) that the proposed grant of the Loan Funded Shares and limited recourse loan to fund the acquisition of the Loan Funded Shares constitutes “reasonable remuneration” of Mr Faenza for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.
12.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
The Company provides the following information with respect to Resolution 9 for the purposes of the Listing Rules including Listing Rule 10.15:

Up to a total of 25,000,000 Loan Funded Shares in the Company are proposed to be issued to Mr Faenza pursuant to Resolution 9, if approved.

Between that date and the date of expiry of that last approval (8 November 2025), the Company issued the following Equity Securities under the Employee Incentive Plan: (a) on 9 December 2022, 4,437,399 Shares; (b) on 2 February 2023, 600,000 Shares; (c) on 21 February 2023, 500,000 Shares; (d) on 13 September 2023, 850,000 Shares; (e) on 22 September 2023, 2,000,000 Shares; (f) on 3 October 2023, 10,847,964 Shares; (g) on 7 August 2024, 550,000 Shares; (h) on 17 December 2024, 6,841,294 Shares; (i) on 8 April 2025, 5,336,906 Shares; and (j) on 2 July 2025, 13,071,574 Shares. |
| Maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the scheme |
If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders, the maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan until expiry of that approval (i.e. within 3 years of the date of the Meeting) is 95,551,595 Equity Securities (subject to adjustment in the event of reorganisation of capital and further subject to applicable laws and the Listing Rules). This is equivalent to 10% of the total number of Shares on issue in the capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice. |
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 10 and is set out in the Notice of meeting preceding this Explanatory Memorandum. |
13.3 Effect of Resolution 10 being passed or not passed
If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to issue up to a total of 95,551,595 Equity Securities under the Employee Incentive Plan to eligible participants over a period of three years after the date of the Meeting without relying upon the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. This effectively increases the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of those Equity Securities by approximately 10% in total based on the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice.
Page 42
However, any future issues of Equity Securities under the Employee Incentive 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 will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
If Resolution 10 is not passed, any issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the Employee Incentive Plan must either be undertaken using the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity (if applicable) under and subject to complying with the conditions of Listing Rule 7.1A or with prior Shareholder approval.
13.4 Board recommendation
The Board makes no recommendation in relation to Resolution 10 due to their personal interests in the outcome of that Resolution.
14. Resolution 11 – Approval to issue Shares and Options on conversion of February 2025 Convertible Notes
14.0 General
On 28 February 2025, the Company announced that it had secured commitments to raise a maximum of A$1,500,000 ( February 2025 Convertible Note Deed Poll ) through the issuance of secured convertible notes with a face value of A$1,000 per note (each, a February 2025 Convertible Note ) to a sophisticated investor of Alto Capital, Skyline Corporation Pty Ltd (ACN 125 471 089), ( Investor ), for the purpose of strengthening the Company’s balance sheet and supporting business operations.
Pursuant to the February 2025 Convertible Note Deed Poll, on 7 March 2025, the Company issued 1,500 February 2025 Convertible Notes without Shareholder approval in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 17.
Under the terms of issue of the February 2025 Convertible Notes, subject to Shareholder approval:
-
(a) the total principal and interest amount owing under each February 2025 Convertible Note is convertible into Shares at a conversion price of A$0.022, at the Investor’s election ( February 2025 Conversion Shares ); and
-
(b) if the February 2025 Convertible Notes are converted to February 2025 Conversion Shares prior to 7 March 2026 (being the first anniversary of their date of issue), then the Investor is to be issued one (1) attaching Option for every two (2) February 2025 Conversion Shares for no additional cash consideration ( February 2025 Options ).
In the event that Shareholder approval is not obtained for the conversion of the February 2025 Convertible Notes, the face value and interest accrued will be repayable in cash at maturity on 25 February 2027.
The Company intends to seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.2, Exception 17 in respect of the issue of up to a total of 78,212,952 February 2025 Conversion Shares and 39,106,476 attaching February 2025 Options if the February 2025 Convertible Notes are converted by the Investor as contemplated above.
Page 43
A summary of the material terms and conditions of the February 2025 Convertible Note Deed Poll pursuant to which the February 2025 Convertible Notes were issued and the terms and conditions of the attaching February 2025 Options is set out in Schedule 11.
Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the Company to convert the February 2025 Convertible Notes and issue up to an aggregate of 78,212,952 February 2025 Conversion Shares and 39,106,476 attaching February 2025 Options to the Investor.
14.1 Application of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, Exception 17
As detailed in Section 6.1 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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 the 15% Placement Capacity, subject to certain limited exceptions.
The proposed issue of the February 2025 Conversion Shares and attaching February 2025 Options contemplated in Resolution 11 does not fall within any of the exceptions to the 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The February 2025 Convertible Notes contemplated in Section 12.0 were issued without Shareholder approval in reliance on the exception to Listing Rule 7.1, under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 17 which relevantly requires that on conversion of the February 2025 Convertible Notes and the issue of the February 2025 Conversion Shares and attaching February 2025 Options be approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to a total of 78,212,952 February 2025 Conversion Shares and 39,106,476 attaching February 2025 Options to the Noteholders, under and for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, Exception 17.
14.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
The Company provides the following information with respect to Resolution 4 pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3:
| Name of proposed recipients | The February 2025 Conversion Shares and attaching February 2025 Options are proposed to be issued to Skyline Corporation Pty Ltd (ACN 125 471 089) (Investor) |
|---|---|
| Number and class of securities to be issued | The February 2025 Conversion Shares comprise of 78,212,952 fully paid ordinary shares in the issued capital of the Company and the attaching February 2025 Options comprise of 39,106,476 attaching Options exercisable at A$0.03 until the second anniversary of their date of issue. |
| Date by which securities will be issued | If Resolution 11 is approved, the Company expects to issue the February 2025 Conversion Shares and attaching February 2025 Options as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of the Meeting and subject to the Company’s receipt of a notice |
Page 44
| to convert from the Investor and the date of conversion. In any event, the Company will not issue any February 2025 Conversion Shares (if approved) later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting. If the Company does not receive a notice to convert from the Investor prior to such date, the Company will re-seek Shareholder approval prior to issuing any Conversion Shares. |
|
|---|---|
| Issue price | If Resolution 11 is approved: (a) the February 2025 Conversion Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration, on conversion of the February 2025 Convertible Notes; and; and the attaching February 2025 Options will be issued for nil additional cash consideration. |
| Purpose of issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue of the February 2025 Conversion Shares and attaching February 2025 Options is to enable the Company to satisfy its obligations to convert the February 2025 Convertible Notes contemplated in Section 14.0, in accordance with their terms of issue. Funds raised under the February 2025 Convertible Notes have been and will continue to be applied towards additional general working capital to support the Company’s ongoing operations and strategic initiative. It is currently intended that funds raised on exercise of the attaching February 2025 Options (if exercised) will be applied towards additional general working capital to support the Company’s ongoing operations and strategic initiative. |
| Summary of material terms of agreement to issue |
A summary of the material terms of the February 2025 Convertible Note Deed Poll pursuant to which the February 2025 Convertible Notes, February 2025 Conversion Shares and February 2025 Options the subject of Resolution 11 relate is set out in Schedule 11. |
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 11 and is set out in the Notice of |
Page 45
meeting preceding this Explanatory Memorandum.
14.3 Effect of Resolution 11 being passed or not passed
If Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the February 2025 Conversion Shares and attaching February 2025 Options in accordance with the terms of the February 2025 Convertible Note Deed Poll contemplated in Section 14.0. In addition, the February 2025 Conversion Shares and attaching February 2025 Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This effectively increases the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of the February 2025 Conversion Shares and attaching February 2025 Options by approximately 12.28% in total based on the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice.
If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the February 2025 Conversion Shares and February 2025 Options, and the total principal and interest owing on the February 2025 Convertible Notes (which is estimated to be around A$1,943,836 on maturity) will be repayable in cash to the Investor on 25 February 2027, being the maturity date.
14.4 Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.
15. Resolution 12 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity
15.0 General
As noted in Section 6.1 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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 the 15% Placement Capacity, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an Eligible Entity can increase its 15% placement capacity to issue Equity Securities by an additional 10% of the Company’s total issued share capital, by obtaining approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). By doing so, an Eligible Entity can, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 25% of its issued capital at the time of issue or agreement, for a period of 12 months from the date of its last annual general meeting at which such approval was obtained.
Pursuant to the Listing Rules, an ‘Eligible Entity’ refers to an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of A$300,000,000 or less ( Eligible Entity ). The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes as, at the date of this Notice, the Company is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of A$19,110,319 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 15 October 2025).
Page 46
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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
To this end, Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the Additional 10% Placement Capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
15.1 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 12:
(a) Period for which the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is valid
The Additional 10% Placement Capacity will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum Price
Any Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in section 13.1(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of funds raised under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity
The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity to provide further funding, if required, for assessment of future opportunities, ongoing administration and corporate costs, general working capital and/or for the acquisition of new businesses, assets or other investments.
The total amount raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will depend on the market price of the Company’s quoted Equity Securities at the time of issue of the relevant Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed any intention to offer Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity to any particular person or at any particular time (assuming that Resolution 12 is passed). Should an issue be made under the Additional
Page 47
10% Placement Capacity, the specific purposes for which such issue is made will be disclosed by way of ASX announcement at the time of issue, in addition to the other information required to be disclosed under Listing Rule 7.1A.4.
(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 12 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the anticipated dilutionary effect of an issue of Shares on the relevant interest and voting power of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 15 October 2025.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) |
Number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) |
Dilution | Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shares issued – 10% voting dilution |
Issue price | ||||
| A$0.01 | A$0.02 | A$0.04 | |||
| 50% decrease | Issue price | 100% increase |

| Funds Raised | |||||
| Current | 955,515,957 Shares |
95,551,595 Shares |
A$955,516 | A$1,911,032 | A$3,822,064 |
| 50% increase |
1,433,273,935 Shares |

191,103,191 Shares |
A$1,911,032 | A$3,822,064 | A$7,644,128 |
*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 955,515,957 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 15 October 2025.
Page 48
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. No existing Shareholder is issued with any Shares under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity – in other words, the maximum rate of dilution to existing Shareholders is assumed.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options or other convertible securities are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the maximum percentage dilution of the relevant interest and voting power of existing Shareholders in the Company, as a result of the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, as against the relevant interest and voting power of existing Shareholders immediately before the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show the possible dilutionary effect on any one particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity as compared to the status quo or the market price of those Equity Securities on the date of the Meeting;
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the date of issue, but subject to the minimum price requirements referred to in Section 15.1(b) above;
-
(iii) the price for the Company’s Equity Securities is subject to fluctuation, which may result from a diverse range of factors, including non-company-specific influences such as global epidemics, hostilities and tensions, the general state of the economy, fluctuations in interest and/or foreign exchange rates; and
-
(iv) the issued capital of the Company may be significantly larger on the date of issue of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity as compared to the status quo or the market price of those Equity Securities on the date of the Meeting,
-
(v) all of which may result in the actual number of Equity Securities and amount of funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity differing (possibly to a material extent) from the Company’s
Page 49
expectations in the circumstances that prevail at the date of this Notice or the date of the Meeting.
(e) Allocation policy under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both).
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) If Resolution 12 is not passed, any issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 19 November 2024 ( Previous Approval ).
During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 28 November 2024, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
(g) Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A.6
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6, the Company advises that no Equity Securities have been issued under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting.
As such, no table of issues under Listing Rule 7.3A.6 has been included in this Notice.
15.2 Consequences of Resolution 12 being passed
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
Page 50
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will be permitted to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated as at the date of issue or agreement to issue the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Based on the issued capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice, the Company will be permitted to issue up to:
-
(a) 12,587,926 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) 108,558,617 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
subject to any other Shareholder approvals required under the Corporations Act and Listing Rules (e.g. where the recipient is a related party).
15.3 Consequences of Resolution 12 not being passed
If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% placement capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
15.4 Voting exclusion statement
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 12 is not included in this Notice.
15.5 Board recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Employee Incentive Plan rules:
-
(i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
-
(l) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
-
(m) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Employee Incentive Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security issued under the Employee Incentive Plan, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
-
(n) ( Disposal restrictions on Equity Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
-
(o) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): 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 Participant holding Convertible Securities 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.
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 holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional
Page 74
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 Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
-
(p) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
-
(q) ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Employee Incentive Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Employee Incentive Plan and determine that any amendments to the Employee Incentive Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Employee Incentive Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
- (r) ( Plan duration ): The Employee Incentive Plan continues in operation until the earlier of the date the Board decides to end it and the Company’s removal from the official list of ASX. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Employee Incentive Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Employee Incentive Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.

Schedule 11 Material terms summary of February 2025 Convertible Note Deed Poll (Resolution 11)
The key terms of the February 2025 Convertible Note Deed Poll and the February 2025 Options are summarised below.
| Terms of February 2025 Convertible Notes (‘Notes’) | Terms of February 2025 Convertible Notes (‘Notes’) |
|---|---|
| Total number of Notes issued | 1,500 |
| Total face value of Notes | A$1,500,000 (at A$1,500 per Note) |
| Interest rate | 15% per annum, calculated monthly on the basis of the actual number of months elapsed. Interest is capitalised annually on the anniversary of the issue date. At the election of the Noteholder, interest is payable as follows: (a) Option A: 60% of the interest, being 9% per annum, is repayable quarterly in cash instalments and 40% of the interest, being 6% per annum, is repayable only on maturity, conversion or redemption of the Notes. (b) Option B: all interest is payable only on maturity, conversion or redemption of the Notes. All of the holders of the Notes elected to receive interest under Option B. |
| Maturity date | 25 February 2027. |
| Security | The Notes are unsecured. |
| Subordination to 2019 Noteholders |
Except for interest payments due and payable, the total principal and interest accrued on the Notes is subordinated to the debt owed by the Company to the 2019 Noteholders. In other words, total principal and interest accrued on the Notes is not due and payable to the Noteholders until the date on which the debt owed to the 2019 Noteholders has been repaid in full, unless otherwise agreed by the 2019 Noteholders. |
| Early redemption at Noteholders’ election |
The Noteholders may redeem all of the Notes prior to the maturity date if an Event of Default (defined below) occurs and continues unremedied for 10 business days after the Noteholder provides the Company notice of an Event of Default. |
| Early redemption at Company’s election |
Subject to the subordination noted above, the Company may, at any time between 7 March 2026 and 25 February 2027, notify the Noteholder of the Company’s intention to redeem some or all of the Notes held by the Noteholder by payment of the Outstanding Amount in respect of those Notes. |
Page 76
| The relevant Noteholder can respond to the Company’s notice by either: (a) accepting the Company’s intention to redeem the relevant Notes, in which case the relevant Notes will be redeemed; or (b) instead elect to convert some or all of their Notes, in which case the relevant Notes will convert into Shares and any remaining Notes will be redeemed. |
|
|---|---|
| Early conversion at Noteholder’s election |
Noteholder may convert the Notes at any time, including prior to the maturity date. |
| Automatic conversion | If a Noteholder fails to notify the Company at least 90 days prior to the maturity date , either electing to covert or redeem some or all of their Notes, the Noteholder will be deemed to have given a notice electing to convert all of their Notes on the maturity date unless the Company advises the Noteholder otherwise. |
| Conversion Ratio / Formula | Notes will convert into the number of Notes calculated by dividing the Outstanding Amount by the conversion price. |
| Conversion price | A$0.022 per Note. If there is any reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company prior to conversion, including any consolidation, subdivision, reduction, cancellation return or bonus issue, then the conversion price must be reconstructed in the same proportion and such that on conversion of any Note held by that Noteholder, the Noteholder is entitled to receive the same proportion of total Shares of the Company on issue as it would have been had the reorganisation not occurred. |
| Shareholder approval on conversion |
The issue of Shares on conversion of the Notes is subject to Shareholder approval. |
| Events of Default | The Company commits an event of default if the Company or any of its related bodies corporate: (a) commits a material breach under the terms of the Note that is not remedied within 10 business days; (b) suffers an insolvency event; or (c) fails to pay the Outstanding Amount on a Note on its maturity date, |
| No Shareholder rights | Prior to conversion, the Notes do not give the Noteholder: |
Page 77

|
|---|---|
| Transferability | Noteholders may not transfer any of their Notes without the prior written consent of the Company. |
| Quotation | The Notes will not be quoted on the ASX or any other financial market, however, the Shares on conversion of the Notes will be quoted on the ASX. |
| Terms of attaching February 2025 Options (‘Options’) | |
| Entitlement | Each Option is exercisable into one fully-paid ordinary Share upon payment of the exercise price. |
| Exercise price | A$0.03 per Option. |
| Expiry date | Second anniversary of their issue date. |
| Ranking | Shares issued on exercise of the Options will be fully paid, rank equally with all other Shares on issue at the time and will be subject to the provisions of the Constitution. |
| New issues | The optionholder is not entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders without first exercising the Options prior to the record date for the new issue. |
| Shareholder approval for issue of Options and Shares |
The issue of the Options and the issue of Shares on exercise of the Options are subject to Shareholder approval. |
| Transferability | The Options are not transferrable without the prior written consent of the Company. |
