3. Financial Report and Reports of the Directors and Auditors
The Company’s Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2021 is set out in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report. In accordance with the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the Financial Report and on the business and management of the Company.
During the discussion of this item, the Company’s auditor will be present and will answer qualifying questions.
Written questions for the auditor
If you would like to submit a written question to the Company’s auditor, please post your question to the Company Secretary or fax it to +61 2 9279 1234.

A list of qualifying questions will be made available at the Annual General Meeting.
Please note that all questions must be received at least five Business Days before the Annual General Meeting, that is by no later than 11:00am (AEDT) on 25 November 2021 .
4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for
9 | P a g e
the financial year ending 30 June 2021 which is also available on the ASX market announcement platform.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for questions and discussion about the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2021 Directors' report was approved, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
At the Company’s 2020 annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
| Proxy | Directions given | No directions given |
|---|---|---|
| Key Management Personnel1 | Vote as directed | Unable to vote3 |
| Chair2 | Vote as directed | Able to vote at discretion of Proxy4 |
| Other | Vote as directed | Able to vote at discretion of Proxy |
Directors Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that the shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report. The Chairperson intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
Voting Exclusion Statement
A Voting Exclusion Statement applies to this Resolution 1 relating to Key Management Personnel identified in the 2021 Annual Report and their Closely Related Parties as these terms are defined in the Corporations Act.
Notes:
1 Refers to Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member.
10 | P a g e
2 Refers to the Chair (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report), or a Closely Related Party of such a member).
3 Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.
5. Re-election of Directors
Resolutions 2, 3 and 4: Ordinary Resolutions to Re-elect Anthony Wooles, David Charles Croll and James Brett Knowles
ASX Listing Rule 14.5 and Article 11.3 of the Company Constitution requires that at least one director must stand for election or re-election at each Annual General Meeting, and further that no director can hold office without re-election for more than three years or their third Annual General Meeting.
Similarly, ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and Article 11.11 of the Company Constitution requires that any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy be re-electing at the next Annual General Meeting. The re-election of a Director under Article 11.11 is not to be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation at that meeting. Accordingly, both Messrs David Charles Croll and James Brett Knowles are required to seek re-election at this Annual General Meeting.
Shareholders are referred to the Annual Report on pages 2 - 3, where details of Messrs Wooles, Croll and Knowles’ qualifications and experience may be obtained.
Directors Recommendation
In respect of Mr Wooles’s re-election, the Directors (other than Mr Wooles) recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. In respect of Mr Croll’s reelection, the Directors (other than Mr Croll) recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, where approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is obtained, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of securities will not be included in the Company’s 15% limit.
If any of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 are passed by Shareholders, Messrs Croll, Knowles, and Wooles (or their respective nominees) will be able to participate in the placements – collectively up to 2,750,000 Shares at $0.04 per Share being up to$110,000. Funds received from any such placement will be applied towards working capital.
If any of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 are not passed by Shareholders, Messrs Croll, Knowles, and Wooles (or their respective nominees) will not be able to participate in the placements – collectively up to 2,750,000 Shares at $0.04 per Share being up to $110,000. The Company may consider sourcing alternate funding where any of Resolutions 5, 6 or 7 are not passed. The Company notes that these resolutions are not interdependent in that any of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 can be passed without all three resolutions passing.
Resolutions 5, 6 and 7
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5, 6, and 7:

Directors Recommendation
The Directors (other than Mr David Charles Croll who has an interest in Resolution 5) recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. The Directors (other than Mr James Brett Knowles who has an interest in Resolution 6) recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. The Directors (other than Mr Anthony Wooles who has an interest in Resolution 7) recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
7. Resolution 8 – Ratification of October 2021 Share Issue
On 5 October 2021, the Company announced a placement to raise $800,000 (before cost) at $0.04 per Share. $690,000 of which were subscribed by sophisticated and professional investors for the issue of 17,250,000 new fully paid ordinary shares.
Resolution 8 seek to ratify prior issues of securities by the Company (17,250,000 Shares) where the securities were issued without shareholder approval under the Company’s capacity to issue securities which amount to no more than 15% of the Company’s issued capital in any 12-month period per ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of the ratification proposed by Resolution 8 is to provide subsequent approval for those issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 which ‘refreshes’ the Company’s 15% placement capacity.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that without the approval of holders of ordinary secuirtiies, a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity, if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of secuirtiies (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) the issue will be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company seeks this approval to allow the Company to have the flexibility to issue further securities in the Company should the need arise such as for the Company to undertake an acquisition using it securities as consideration, to conduct a capital raising, or for other purposes.
In the event that Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not have ‘refreshed’ its capacity to issue securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and accordingly these securities will continue to ‘take up’ part of the total 15% ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity.
Where Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will have ‘refreshed’ its capacity to issue securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, and accordingly these securities will not continue to ‘take up’ part of the total 15% ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity. The Company will have the full 15% ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity. The Company notes that it is not presently expecting to be issuing quoted securities under this capacity at this time.
The Company provides the following information with respect to Resolution 8 pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
13 | P a g e
| Number of Securities |
17,250,000 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares |
|---|---|
| Price | $0.04 per share |
| Terms of Securities | Fully Paid Ordinary Shares that rank equally with all existing Shares on issue |
| Date of Issue | 04 October 2021 |
| Persons Issued To | Sophisticated and professional investors, primarily being clients of the Lead Manager Euroz Hartleys. |
| Purpose of Issue/ Use of Funds |
The funds raised will be applied towards working capital. |
| Voting Exclusion | A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. |
8. Resolution 9 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity
Resolution 9 is a special resolution for the approval of an additional 10% placement capacity for the Company to issue securities without shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. This provides the Company with a higher level of flexibility to undertake capital raisings, to complete acquisitions, or other corporate actions involving the issue of equity securities by the Company.
(a) Regulatory Framework
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing equity securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any twelve-month period without obtaining shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions). However, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A allows a company to seek shareholder approval at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue an additional 10% of its equity securities in the same class as an existing quoted class of securities. If approved, the issuance capacity is available for twelve-months following the annual general meeting at which the approval was obtained. An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to utilise both the 10% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in addition to the standard 15% capacity available to all entities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will only be able to use the 15% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 9 is passed then the Company, within 12-months after shareholder approval, may issue up to an additional 10% of the Company’s issued capital as fully paid ordinary shares calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which is as follows:
(A x D) – E
Where:
| A = | the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or date of agreement to issue: (i) plus the number fully paid ordinary securities issued in the last 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2; (ii) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid within the last 12 months; (iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX ListingRule 7.1or7.4(this doesnot include an issue of fully paid |
|---|---|
14 | P a g e
| shares under the equity’s 15% capacity without shareholder approval); (iv) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months. Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity. |
|
|---|---|
| D= | 10% |
| E = | the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under rule 7.4; and “relevant period”has the same meaning as in rule 7.1. |
(b) Compliance Information
In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the Company provide the following information with respect to Resolution 9:
-
(i) The minimum price at which equity securities may be issued under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A capacity will be calculated in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 which requires that the issue price be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the same class as the security being issued, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
a. The date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
b. If the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph a, the date on which the securities are issued.
-
(ii) Resolution 9 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, existing shareholders economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below. There is a risk that:
-
a. the market price for the Company’s equity securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the equity securities than on the date of this approval under rule 7.1A; and
-
b. the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date;
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.
-
(iii) If Resolution 9 is approved by shareholders, the approval to issue securities under this capacity per ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will cease upon the earlier of:
-
a. The date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is gained, being 30 November 2022; or
-
b. The date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2. or 11.2, being a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities, or the disposal of a main undertaking.
-
(iv) The Company may seek to issue securities under this capacity for cash consideration only. As the Company continues to pursue growth opportunities and expand its global footprint, the Company may seek
15 | P a g e
to raise capital using this additional capacity. Funds raised may be applied towards working capital, for funding acquisitions or investments, or other opportunities identified by the Directors.
The Company will ensure it remains compliant with its disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon the issue of any securities under this capacity.
-
(v) The allocation policy of the Company will be dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue of securities under this capacity. The identity of any allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to various factors including without limitation:
-
a. the alternate methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
b. the effect of the issue of the securities on the control of the Company;
-
c. the financial situation of the Company; and
-
d. advice from corporate, financial and broker advisers (as may be applicable from time to time).
-
(vi) As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not identified any allottees proposed to be offered securities under this placement capacity but may include new or existing investors who are not Related Parties or Associates of Related Parties of the Company. In the event that the 10% capacity is utilised for the purpose of conducting an acquisition, the allottees will be the vendors (or their nominees) of the acquisition target. At present, no such acquisition target has been definitively identified by the Company.
-
(vii)In the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue any equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
The following table sets out the possible dilution of existing shareholders of the Company on the basis of the market price of the Company’s securities of $0.055 on 20 October 2021 and on the issued capital of the Company at 20 October 2021 as variable “A” per Listing Rule 7.1A.
| Dilution Effect | Dilution Effect | Dilution Effect | Dilution Effect | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable A Listing Rule 7.1A |
50% Decrease in Share Price $0.028 |
Current Share Price $0.055 |
100% Increase in Share Price $0.11 |
|
| Current Variable A 206,206,399 |
10% Dilution | 20,620,640 | 20,620,640 | 20,620,640 |
| Funds Raised | $577,378 | $1,134,135 | $2,268,270 | |
| 50% Increase Variable A 309,309,599 |
10% Dilution | 30,930,960 | 30,930,960 | 30,930,960 |
| Funds Raised | $866,067 | $1,701,203 | $3,402,406 | |
| 100% Increase Variable A 412,412,798 |
10% Dilution | 41,241,280 | 41,241,280 | 41,241,280 |
| Funds Raised | $1,154,756 | $2,268,270 | $4,536,541 |
16 | P a g e
The above table makes the following assumptions:
-
All securities have been issued under the 10% capacity and the Company has issued the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% capacity.
-
The dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
The table only shows the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and does not consider the 15% capacity the Company has under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 nor the Company’s ability to issue securities without shareholder approval under the exceptions in the ASX Listing Rule 7.2.
Directors Recommendation on Resolution 9
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 9 and the Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of these Resolutions.
Resolution 9 seeks approval for an additional 10% placement capacity which can be used for issuing quoted securities for cash consideration and provides further flexibility to the Company should an opportunity arise requiring the issue of new quoted securities. The Company notes that it is not presently expecting to be issuing additional quoted securities under this capacity at this time.
Voting Exclusion Statement
A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. Please refer to the Voting Exclusion Statement under Resolution 9 in the Notice for further information on the exclusions.
9. Resolution 10 – Adoption of New Constitution
Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the New Constitution in accordance with section 136 of the Corporations Act.
The Current Constitution was first adopted in 2006. Since this time, there have been a number of changes to the Listing Rules and Corporations Act. The Board has conducted a review of the Current Constitution and, in view of the changes to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act and recent developments in corporate governance and current market practice, has resolved that it would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to replace the Current Constitution with the New Constitution. A copy of the New Constitution will be sent to any Shareholder on request and will also be available for inspection at the office of the Company during normal business hours prior to the Meeting and available for inspection at the Meeting.
If Resolution 10 is passed, the New Constitution will be effective from the close of the Meeting.
Resolution 10 is a special resolution requiring approval of at least 75% of the votes cast in person or by proxy by members entitled to vote on the resolution vote in favour of the New Constitution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 10.
17 | P a g e
Summary of Constitution
The Directors believe that many of the proposed changes in the New Constitution are administrative or relatively minor in nature and will not have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all the changes in the New Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Memorandum, however, a summary of the material proposed changes is set out below. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
The Company provide a summary of the material changes in the New Constitution:
Unmarketable Parcels
The Current Constitution does not contemplate the Company’s ability to conduct the sale of unmarketable parcels. Under the ASX Listing Rules, any shareholding values at less than AU$500 is considered to be an unmarketable parcel. The Company appreciate that unmarketable parcels can be difficult or expensive to sell. The unmarketable parcels clause, if exercised, will enable eligible shareholders to sell their Shares without having to use a broker or pay brokerage. The unmarketable parcels share process is consistent with the Corporations Act. Please refer to the New Constitution for more details regarding the unmarketable parcels.
Audio-visual Communication & Virtual Communication Technology
In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, meetings have been held virtually when physical attendance is not possible. The New Constitution incorporates a mechanism for the Company to hold virtual meetings pursuant to the amendments to the Corporations Act enacted by Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No.1) Act 2021 . Virtual meetings are applicable to all company meetings (including AGMs), unless not permissible by law or the ASX Listing Rules. The option to hold virtual meetings is a beneficial addition to the New Constitution to enable Members to attend meetings still when they are physically unable to.
Transfer of Securities
The transfers of securities have been updated in the New Constitution to align with the ASX Listing Rules. In particular, it notes that the Company is entitled to charge or recover the transfer-related cost associated with registering a registrable paperbased transfer of Share to the relevant transferring parties.
Restricted Securities
The ASX Listing Rules require specific provisions to be included in the Company constitution for the issue of restricted securities. While the Current Constitution contains a clause regarding restricted securities it is insufficient to meet the Listing Rules requirements. The constitution of a listed entity must include the following provisions, which are also reflected in the New Constitution:
-
a holder of restricted securities must not dispose of, or agree to dispose of, the restricted securities during the escrow period for those restricted securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;
-
if the restricted securities are in the same class as quoted securities of the Company, the holder will be taken to have agreed in writing that the restricted securities are to be kept on the Company’s issuer sponsored sub-register and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the escrow period for those restricted securities;
18 | P a g e
-
a holder of restricted securities will not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those restricted securities during the escrow period for those restricted securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX; and
-
that a holder of restricted securities that breaches a restriction deed or a provision of the entity’s constitution restricting a disposal of those securities will not be entitled to any dividend or distribution, or to exercise any voting rights in respect of those securities for as long as the breach continues.
Direct Voting
A provision for direct voting has been included in the New Constitution to facilitate shareholder engagement by permitting Members to directly vote at general or class meetings without attending those meetings in person or by proxy. The direct voting provision provides Members with the flexibility to control their vote by either posting, faxing or electronically casting their vote directly with the Company. The Directors at this time have not decided to exercise the direct voting provision if this Resolution 10 is passed.
Modernisation of the Company Constitution
The New Constitution has been modernised and drafted to reflect the latest amendments to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules to ensure that the Company is legally compliant. The New Constitution has also been structured in a manner to ensure that Members can easily identify their rights and obligations.
Directors Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.
