E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO PLACEMENT

1.1 General

On 15 December 2023, the Company announced a placement to raise up to a total of $1,250,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) via the issue of 62,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share ( Placement Shares ).

The Placement Shares are to be issued in two tranches.

The first tranche of Placement Shares (being 41,750,000 Shares to raise $835,000 (before costs)) was issued to professional and sophisticated investors pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ). Shareholder ratification for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 is the subject of Resolution 1.

The second tranche of Shares (being an aggregate of 20,750,000 Placement Shares to raise $415,000 (before costs)) are proposed to be issued professional and sophisticated investors, approval for which is being sought under Resolution 2 ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).

1.2 Use of Funds 1.3 Lead Manager Mandate

Funds raised under the Placement and Offer (as defined in Section 5.1) will be used to support commercial deployments, pilots, integration of HeraCARE into large health systems, private clinics and several large digital health platforms in Australia and USA.

In December 2023, the Company entered into a capital raising engagement with Clarity Capital Advisors Pty Ltd ( Clarity Capital ) as Lead Manager to the Placement ( Mandate ).

The material terms of the Mandate are as follows:

(a) Term : the Mandate will continue until terminated in accordance with its terms; and

(b) Fees : under the Mandate, in consideration for acting a lead manager ad capital raising services provided in respect of the Placement, the Company has agreed to pay Clarity Capital on completion of the Placement a capital raising fee of 6% (plus GST) of the total amount raised under the Placement and subject to Shareholder approval the subject of Resolution 3, to issue 15,000,000 Broker Options to Clarity Capital and or its nominees.

The Mandate otherwise contains provisions considered standard for an agreement of its nature.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES

2.1 General

As noted in Section 1.1, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 and on the terms set out below.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions which are contained in Listing Rule 7.2 (which do not apply in the circumstance of this Resolution), Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

5

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

However, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

2.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

2.4 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) a total of 41,750,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (b) the Placement Shares were issued at $0.02 per Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares;

  • (c) the Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the date the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued was 22 December 2023;

  • (e) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were allotted and issued to Placement participants who are professional and sophisticated investors and clients and contacts of Clarity Capital. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Clarity Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (f) the Company confirms in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21 that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company, an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) were issued more than 1% of the Company’s issued capital;

  • (g) the Placement Shares were issued to the Placement participants, being investors selected by the Company in consultation with the Company’s lead manager, Clarity Capital. No Placement Participants are considered to be "material investors" for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.2;

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares was to raise capital. The funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares have been applied towards the purposes set out above in section 1.2;

  • (i) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were not issued under any agreement; and

6

(j) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

3. RESOLUTION 2 -APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES

3.1 General

As outlined in Section 1.1 above, subject to the Company obtaining prior Shareholder approval pursuant to this Resolution 2, the Company intends to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. Further details regarding the Placement are specified in Section 1 above.

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Investor Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

3.2 Technical Information requested by Listing Rule 14.A

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Investor Placement Shares under the Placement. In addition, the issue of Tranche 2 Investor Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Investor Placement Shares pursuant to the Placement and the Company may need to seek an alternative means of raising capital.

3.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

  • (a) the maximum number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1 is 20,750,000;

  • (b) the issue price of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is $0.02 per Tranche 2 Placement Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares;

  • (c) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares that are proposed to be issued will all be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;

  • (d) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be allotted and issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients and contacts of Clarity Capital. The recipients have been identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Clarity Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (e) the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company, an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the Company’s issued capital;

  • (f) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued not later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is to raise capital. The funds raised from this issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be applied towards the purposes set out in Section 1.2;

7

(h) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover;

(i) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement; and

(j) a voting exclusion statement for Resolution 2 is set out in this Notice.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE BROKER OPTIONS

4.1 General

The Company has entered into an agreement to issue 15,000,000 Broker Options to Clarity Capital in part consideration for acting as lead manager to the Placement ( Broker Options ).

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue on the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the Broker Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options. In addition, the issue of the Broker Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to procced with the issue of the Broker Options. Should the issue not proceed, the Company will have to renegotiate the terms of the Mandate. Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options. 4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1 Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options.

(a) the Broker Options will be issued to Clarity Capital (and or its nominees(s)); (b) the maximum number of Broker Options to be issued is 15,000,000. The terms and conditions of the Broker Options are set out in Schedule 1; (c) the Broker Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Broker Options will occur on the same date; (d) the Broker Options will be issued at a nil price in part consideration for acting as lead manager to the Placement under the Mandate; (e) the purpose of the issue of the Broker Options is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Mandate; (f) the Broker Options are being issued to Clarity Capital or its nominee(s) under the Mandate. A summary of the Lead Manager Mandate is set out in Section 1.3; and (g) the Broker Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – PARTICIPATION OF DIRECTOR IN RIGHTS ISSUE – DR RONALD WEINBERGER

5.1 General

As announced to the ASX on or about 16 January 2024, the Company is doing a nonrenounceable pro rata rights issue of 1 Share for every 5 Shares held by shareholders as at the record date set out in the offer booklet at an issue price of $0.02 to raise approximately $1.28

8

million (before costs) ( Offer ). New Shares not taken up by eligible Shareholders or which would otherwise have been offered to non-eligible shareholders form the shortfall ( Shortfall ).

Director, Dr Ron Weinberger has requested to participate in the Shortfall ( Director Participation ). The Director Participation will be on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Offer and Shortfall.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of up to 25,000,000 Shares to Dr Ron Weinberger (or his nominee) in the Shortfall ( Shortfall Shares ), on the terms below.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Director Participation will result in the issue of Shortfall Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Dr Ron Weinberger is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Director Participation because the Shortfall Shares will be issued to Dr Ron Weinberger (or his nominee) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Offer and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

5.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Director Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Director Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

9

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to procced with the issue of the 25,000,000 Shares to Dr Ron Weinberger (or his nominee).

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) the Shortfall Shares will be issued to Dr Ron Weinberger (or his nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as he is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shortfall Shares to be issued is 25,000,000 Shortfall Shares:

  • (c) the Shortfall Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shortfall Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shortfall Shares under the Director Participation will be issued on the same date as the other Shares pursuant to the Offer;

  • (e) the issue price will be $0.02 per Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;

  • ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and

  • iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Broker Options.

If a notice delivered under g)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.
