3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares in lieu of payment of interest accrued on Convertible Notes
3.0
General
In the period from August 2025 to November 2025, a total of A$41,342 in interest accrued on the convertible notes issued by the Company on 27 & 28 August 2024 (each, a Convertible Note ). By agreement of the noteholders set out in the table below ( Noteholders ), the Company satisfied its obligations to pay that interest on 1 December 2025 by issuing a total of 3,106,555 Shares to the Noteholders in the proportions set out in the table below at a deemed issue price
Page 12
of $0.01332 per Share, without Shareholder approval in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
| Recipient | Convertible Notes |
Total interest satisfied |
Total Shares issued |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mr Ross Milner McKay and Ms Christine Stuart Babbage ATF McKay Superfund A/C |
200 | $6,822 | 515,659 |
| Skyline Corporation Pty Ltd | 1,200 | $34,520 | 2,590,896 |
| TOTAL: | 1,400 | $41,342 | 3,106,555 |
The Company intends to seek Shareholder ratification under Listing Rule 7.4 in respect of the issue of all 3,106,555 Shares contemplated above which, if approved, will restore approximately 1.98% of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.1 Application of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
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 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 issue of the Shares contemplated in Resolution 1 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 1.98%.
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 to issue further Equity Securities equal to the number of Equity Securities ratified, without Shareholder approval, in reliance on the Company’s 15% 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 3,106,555 Shares in lieu of interest otherwise payable by the Company in respect of the Convertible Notes under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
Page 13
3.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The Company provides the following information with respect to Resolution 1 pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5:
| Number and class of securities issued | 3,106,555 fully paid ordinary shares (Shares). |
|---|---|

As detailed in Section 3.1 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of Equity Securities that a listed entity 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.

8. Resolutions 6 and 7 – Ratification of prior issues of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
8.0 General
On 26 February 2026, the Company announced that it had secured commitments to raise a maximum of A$1,631,760 (before costs), for the issue of up to 116,554,286 Shares at an issue price of A$0.014 each ( Placement ). The Placement is comprised of the following:
-
(a) 9,049,075 Shares were issued under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) 107,505,211 Shares were issued under the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(together, the Placement Shares ).
In addition, it is intended that subscribers for Placement Shares will also receive one (1) attaching Option for every two (2) Placement Shares issued, meaning that up to 58,277,143 Options are also proposed to be issued as part of the Placement (see Resolution 8 and Section 9.0 below).
On 4 March 2026, the Company issued the Placement Shares without Shareholder approval in reliance on the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Placement Shares represent approximately 9.70% of the Company’s total issued share capital at the date of this Notice.
Resolutions 6 and 7 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares in order to “refresh” the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A (as detailed in Section 8.1 below).
8.1 Application of Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
As detailed in Section 3.1 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 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. The Company obtained such approval at its 2025 annual general meeting. Therefore, the Company may, in addition to its 15% Placement Capacity, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of its issued capital at the time of issue or agreement, over a period ending no later than 28 November 2026, being 12 months after its last annual general meeting at which such approval was obtained ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ).
The issues of the Placement Shares contemplated in Resolutions 6 and 7 did not qualify under any of the exceptions to the 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.2 and, accordingly,
Page 27
was issued in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity and Additional 10% Placement Capacity without Shareholder approval. This reduced the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by approximately 5.61% and the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A by approximately 100% in total for the 12-month period following the date of issue.
As noted in Section 3.1, 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 or 7.1A without shareholder approval. Once ratified, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby allowing the Company 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 or 7.1A (as applicable).
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, Resolutions 6 and 7 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 as follows:
-
(a) 9,049,075 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) 107,505,211 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
8.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The Company provides the following information with respect to Resolutions 6 and 7 pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

| Issue price | The Placement Shares the subject of Resolutions 6 and 7 were issued at an issue price of A$0.014 each. The Company received a total of A$1,631,760 (before costs) as consideration for their issue. |

8.3 Effect of Resolution 6 being passed or not passed
If Resolution 6 is passed, 9,049,075 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of those Placement Shares by approximately 5.61% in total based on the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice.
Page 29
If Resolution 6 is not passed, 9,049,075 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of those Placement Shares by approximately 5.61% based on the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has utilised 97.34% of its 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
8.4 Effect of Resolution 7 being passed or not passed
If Resolution 7 is passed, 107,505,211 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 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 those Placement Shares by approximately 8.94% in total based on the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, 107,505,211 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 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 those Placement Shares by approximately 8.94% based on the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has utilised 100% of its Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
8.5 Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 6 and 7.
9. Resolution 8 – Approval to issue Placement Options
9.0 General
Under the terms of issue of the Placement Shares detailed in Section 8.0 above, subscribers under the Placement will be issued one (1) attaching Option for every two (2) Placement Shares issued to them, exercisable into one (1) fully paid ordinary share at A$0.025 each within 2 years from the date of issue of the Option ( Placement Option ).
A total of 116,554,286 Placement Shares were issued under the Placement. Accordingly, the Company is proposing to issue a total of 58,277,143 attaching Placement Options to participants under the Placement, subject to receiving the requisite Shareholder approval under Resolution 8 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
The Placement Options will, if issued and exercised, result in the issue of 58,277,143 Shares, which will represent approximately 4.04%[1] of the Company’s issued share capital on a fully diluted basis based on the anticipated total issued capital of the Company immediately after the date of the Meeting (assuming that all Resolutions in this Notice are passed).
1 The fully diluted calculation assumes the exercise of all options currently on issue and the issue of securities proposed under this Notice. The calculation does not include Shares that may be issued on conversion of the Company’s convertible notes, as the number of Shares that may be issued on conversion cannot presently be determined due to variable conversion prices and differing face values of the convertible notes.
Page 30
9.1 Application of Listing Rule 7.1
As detailed in Section 3.1 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 Placement Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A to issue the Placement Options without first seeking Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders to issue the Placement Options under Resolution 8.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 8 will be to allow the Company to issue the Placement Options and otherwise retain the flexibility to issue further Equity Securities in the future in reliance on its 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, to the extent available, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
9.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information with respect to Resolution 8:
| Names of persons to whom the Company will issue the securities |
The Placement Options the subject of Resolution 8 will be issued to the same sophisticated and professional investors who participated in and were issued Placement Shares under the Placement (as contemplated in Section 8.2 above). None of these investors is a Related Party of the Company. None of the proposed recipients of the Placement Options are considered to be Material Investors of the Company. |
|---|---|
| Number and class of securities to be issued | The maximum number of 58,277,143 Placement Options is proposed to be issued under Resolution 8. |
| Summary of material terms of the securities | The Placement Options are each exercisable into fully paid ordinary shares at an exercise price of A$0.025 each within 2 years from its date of issue. The terms and conditions applying to the Placement Options are set out in Schedule 6. |
| Proposed date of issue | If Resolution 8 is approved, the Placement Options will be issued as soon as possible, |
Page 31
| but in any case no later than 3 months, after the date of the Meeting. |
|
|---|---|
| Issue price, purpose of the issue and intended use of funds raised |
Under the terms of the Placement, each subscriber is entitled to receive one (2) attaching Placement Option for every two (2) Placement Shares issued to them for nil cash consideration. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Placement Options. However. if any of the Placement Options are exercised, the recipient will be required to pay the Company an exercise price of A$0.025 per Placement Option. This will result in the Company receiving up to A$1,456,929 (if all of the Placement Options are exercised). |
| Summary of any other material terms | The terms of issue of the Placement Options are set out at Schedule 6. Other than as set out in Section 9.0, there are no other material terms in relation to the proposed issue of the Placement Options. |
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 8 and is set out in the Notice of meeting preceding this Explanatory Memorandum. |
9.3 Effect of Resolution 8 being passed or not passed
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company can proceed with the issue of the Placement Options in accordance with the terms of the Placement contemplated in Section 9.0. In addition, the Placement 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 attaching Placement Options by approximately 4.85% in total based on the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Board will consider alternative means to issue the Placement Options (such as, for example, using any available 15% Placement Capacity permitted under Listing Rule 7.1) or provide an equivalent benefit to the persons entitled to the Placement Options under the terms of the Placement.
9.4 Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

Resolution 9 seeks the approval of Shareholders under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 in respect of the issue of the Joint Lead Manager Shares and Joint Lead Manager Options upon completion of the Placement.

2 The fully diluted calculation assumes the exercise of all options currently on issue and the issue of securities proposed under this Notice. The calculation does not include Shares that may be issued on conversion of the Company’s convertible notes, as the number of Shares that may be issued on conversion cannot presently be determined due to variable conversion prices and differing face values of the convertible notes.
Page 33
-
(v) other services as agreed with the Company.
-
(b) Consideration for services: In consideration for providing the services under the Joint Lead Manager Mandate, the Company agrees to pay the Joint Lead Manager a fee equal to 6% of the total capital raised under the Placement, in addition to the issue of the Joint Lead Manager Options and Joint Lead Manager Shares (as noted above).
-
(c) Exclusivity: The Company retains the Joint Lead Managers on an exclusive basis with respect to the matters under the Joint Lead Manager Mandate until it is terminated or the Placement is completed.
-

This Company also releases the Joint Lead Managers from all liability (direct or indirect) in connection with the Joint Lead Manager Mandate or the Placement.
The Company does not, however, indemnify or release the Joint Lead Managers for or from any liability to the extent that it is finally judicially determined to have resulted from a breach of law or contract by the Joint Lead Managers.
-

Page 34
10.2 Application of Listing Rule 7.1
As detailed in Section 3.1 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 Joint Lead Manager Options and Joint Lead Manager Shares contemplated in Resolution 9 does not fit within any of the exceptions to the 15% Placement Capacity. As the issue of the Joint Lead Manager Shares and Joint Lead Manager Options will exceed the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, it therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders.
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.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 9 will be to allow the Company to issue the Joint Lead Manager Shares and Joint Lead Manager Options and otherwise retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to its full Placement Capacity without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Joint Lead Manager Shares and Joint Lead Manager Options by approximately 2.15% in total based on the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Board will consider alternative means to issue the Joint Lead Manager Shares (such as, for example, using any available 15% Placement Capacity permitted under Listing Rule 7.1) or provide an equivalent benefit to the Joint Lead Managers to pay the Joint Lead Managers for its services.
10.5 Board recommendation

11. Resolution 10 – Ratification of prior issue of Spark Mandate Shares
11.0 General
On 9 January 2026, the Company entered into a mandate engaging Spark Plus as its corporate advisor on a non-exclusive basis in relation to a twelve-month roadshow package ( Spark Mandate ).
In consideration for the work outlined in the Spark Mandate, the Company agreed to the following fees to Spark Plus:
-
A$100,000 in fully paid ordinary shares of which A$50,000 was to be issued upfront at the closing price of Shares traded on the ASX on 1 January 2026 (being A$0.018 per Share) and the balance of A$50,000 is to be issued on 1 July 2026 at the closing price of Shares traded on the ASX on that day;
-
economy flight airfares, venue/ facility cost and reasonable meals for Spark Plus staff; and
-
accommodation for Spark Plus staff during the roadshow.
In satisfaction of the first tranche of Shares agreed to be issued to Spark Plus under the Spark Mandate, 2,777,778 Shares were issued to Spark Plus and its nominees on 13 January 2026 (collectively, Spark Mandate Shares ) without Shareholder approval in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the prior issue of Spark Mandate Shares which, if approved, will restore approximately 1.72% of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
11.1 Application of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
As detailed in Section 3.1above, 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 Mandate Shares did not qualify under any of the exceptions to the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.2 and, accordingly, was issued in reliance on the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. This reduced the Company’s 15%
Page 38
Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by approximately 1.72% for the 12-month period following the date of issue.
As noted in Section 3.1 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 equal to the number of Equity Securities ratified 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.
To this end, Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 2,777,778 Spark Mandate Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
11.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
