Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the shareholders meeting as set out in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

1. Approval of HCD Acquisition

1.1 Background

The Company on 31 January 2017 announced that it had signed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire the Hong Kong based HCDI Holdings Ltd, its related companies and associated intellectual property ("HCD").

Details in relation to HCD are contained at www.hydrocarbondynamics.com.

HCD is the owner of an exceptional new oil technology that allows for the swift, clean and cost effective treatment of heavy, asphaltenic and paraffinic oils.

The technology can be applied to improve oil flow rates by the re‐liquification of oil deposition from oil wells and pipelines and can also be used to recover oil from storage facilities. The product has proved its effectiveness in large‐scale commercial oil wells and pipelines in Malaysia and India.

The key product, HCD Multiflow comprises small, specially engineered carbon‐based organic molecules that can disaggregate the large, naturally occurring agglomerations of waxes and asphaltenes in heavy or paraffinic oil. Once disaggregated, these agglomerations are reabsorbed into the crude oil, reducing its pour point, viscosity and increasing API gravity thus providing outstanding flow assurance and transfer system efficiency.

The HCD Multiflow molecule can also separate water and sediment from the crude oil and the product is expected to have far‐reaching applications in the productibility and transport of heavy/paraffinic crudes, as evidenced by the product’s use in a large offshore oil field and with many successful trials to its credit.

The technology is proven, however is at an early stage of application in the industry with revenues of around A$1.2 million in 2016 where HCD Multiflow was being used by Malaysia’s national oil company Petronas on a major offshore platform and pipeline system. However these sales have not resumed in 2017 while an alternate product is tested by Petronas in an attempt to reduce costs.

Early encouraging and reproducible results have been reported in trials at a major oilfield in India where Multiflow has been applied. Test work is also scheduled for Brazil later in the year as well as new projects identified by HCD in North America.

The Company intends to use its resources to help HCD expand the technology and will also look to acquire existing oil accumulations where the technology is intended to be used to increase or commence oil production. Many of the world’s oil provinces produce waxy or heavy crudes and experience associated production and transport problems and represent early targets for growth in both oil production and technology sales.

1.2 Transaction Summary

In a staged transaction and subject to various conditions, the Company will initially pay A$1 million in cash or assumed liabilities plus 50 million fully paid shares and 33.2 million options (exercisable at $0.25c for two years). Of the 50 million shares, 20 million will be withheld pending the achievement of sales as detailed below within 3 months of shareholder approval.

The staged payment of some of the 50 million shares has been introduced due to the fact that sales arrangements have ceased since the MOU was signed in October 2016 and there is no certainty that they will resume in 2017. The Company and the HCD vendors have therefore agreed to withhold 20 million shares pending the re‐instatement of these sales arrangements or replacement sales of a similar quantum within 3 months of the completion of the acquisition.

Subject to certain EBITDA hurdles being met, the Company may issue up to a further 30 million shares in April/May 2018 and 50 million shares in April/May 2019 if various performance rights requirements are satisfied.

As foreshadowed in the initial announcement in October 2016, the Company financed approximately US$400,000 worth of product inventory and associated costs for HCD to sell to potential customers to enable HCD to deliver product orders.

Two representatives from HCD will initially, subject to shareholder approval, join the INK board and will include the founder and inventor of the technology, Nick Castellano, along with HCD’s chief executive officer Allan Ritchie. Both will fulfil executive director roles.

There are a range of conditions precedent and requirements to completion of the proposed transaction. The Company cautions that there remains a risk that the transaction will not be completed. Subject to this qualification, completion is scheduled immediately following completion.

The Company is in the process of advancing US$135,000 to HCD. This is to form part of the assumed A$1 million of cash or assumed liabilities described above which forms part of the transaction acquisition cost. In the even that completion does not occur, the Company can require repayment on 90 days notice.

1.3 Details of Securities to be Issued

In addition to the cash or assumed liabilities payment by the Company of approximately $1 million, it is proposed that the following securities will be issued by the Company to the vendors or their nominees:

  • (a) 30 million ordinary shares to be issued at completion of the HCD acquisition;

  • (b) 20 million conditional ordinary shares (to potentially be issued no later than 3 months from the date of the meeting if HCD achieves revenue of several hundred thousand dollars worth of product on certain minimum terms and conditions;

  • (c) 33.2 million options exercisable at 25 cents each with a 2 year expiry;

  • (d) 30 million Performance Milestone Tranche 1 Rights, based on HCD EBITDA performance for the 12 month period ending 31 March 2018 as set out in Annexure A ; and

4

  • (e) 50 million Performance Milestone Tranche 2 Rights, based on HCD EBITDA performance for the 12 month period ending 31 March 2019 on the terms set out in Annexure B .

70% of the shares to be issued under paragraphs (a) and (b) are to be held in escrow for a 12 month period from completion of the acquisition.

1.4 Effect on Capital Structure

Accordingly, the proposed HCD acquisition will increase the total number of shares on issue by a minimum of 30 million shares and a maximum of 163.2 million shares, depending on the various aspects described in paragraph 1.3 above.

The current Company capital structure is as follows:

  • There are 100,738,214 ordinary shares on issue.

  • There are 5 million options expiring 1 April 2019 at an exercise price of 10 cents each.

1.5 Reason for Seeking Shareholder Approval

Shareholder approval is being sought in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 and for all other purposes.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed entity should ordinarily seek shareholder approval to issue more than 15% of its shares, subject to certain permitted exceptions. Given that the securities to be issued in accordance with the HCD acquisition are in excess of 15%, shareholder approval is sought.

Listing Rule 11.1.2 requires that a listed entity obtain shareholder approval if required by ASX if it proposes to make a significant change to the nature or scale of its activities. ASX has determined that this approval is required due to the significance of the change in scale of the HCD acquisition.

1.6

ASX Disclosures

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Company makes the following disclosures:

  • The maximum number of securities which the Company will issue in relation to the HCD acquisition is 163.2 million as set out in paragraph 1.4 above.

  • If shareholders provide their approval then the Company will move to complete the acquisition immediately thereafter, subject to the various conditions to completion and completion deliverables being satisfied (in other words, on 3 April 2017). The Company will at that time issue the various completion securities (namely all of the securities to be issued except for the 20 million conditional ordinary shares).

  • In the case of the 20 million conditional ordinary shares, they will potentially be issued no later than 3 months from the date of the meeting if HCD achieves revenue of several hundred thousand dollars worth of product on certain minimum terms and conditions.

  • The Company is not issuing any shares for cash in order to fund the acquisition and instead will be issuing the securities described above in order to purchase HCD. The deemed issue price of the shares provided as part of the consideration is 7 cents per share being the current market price at the time of issue of this Notice of Meeting.

5

  • The people to whom Indago will issue the shares will be the vendors of the HCD business and their nominees. There are approximately 150 such persons. Immediately following completion of the acquisition, no vendor or nominee is expected to have a 5% or more shareholding interest in the Company.

  • The Company will disregard any vote cast in a resolution by a person who may participate in the proposed issue and a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities if the resolution is passed. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

  • it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions and the proxy forms; or

  • it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

1.7 HCD Management

Details of HCD management are as follows:

  • Nick Castellano, details of whom are set out in the Explanatory Statement for Resolution 2.

  • Allan Ritchie, details of whom are set out in the Explanatory Statement for Resolution 3.

  • Terry Mahoney. It is intended that his main duties will involve logistics, sales and product assurance, and that he be engaged as a full time consultant in Melbourne for a minimum 6 month period.

  • Guy Hawksley. It is intended that his main duties will involve assisting in areas such as sales and marketing, and that he be engaged as a full time consultant in Sydney for a minimum 6 month period.

1.8 Royalties

To secure ownership of HCD's intellectual property, HCD has agreed to pay a royalty of 5% of net sales to inventor Nick Castellano until those payments total US$19.5 million. The royalty is subject to a US$20,000/month minimum (once sales targets have been achieved pending which it is US$16,000).

The minimum royalty payment applies on a continuous basis even if HCD is not generating any or substantial revenue. HCD is not presently generating any revenue.

Until payment of the maximum US$19.5 million has been made under the royalty agreement, the base formula for the Multiflow products is to be held by an independent escrow agent and are confidential to Nick Castellano. In other words, HCD will own the intellectual property but will not be granted access to the formulas and related know‐how until completion of the maximum royalty agreement payment in the absence of certain specified exceptions.

1.9 Financial Aspects

As at 31 December 2016, the Company had cash resources of approximately $3.65 million. In addition to the securities to be issued for the acquisition, Indago will pay approximately $1 million in cash or assumed liabilities for the HCD acquisition.

Accordingly, the Company estimates that after allowing for transaction costs and ongoing expenses it will have cash resources of approximately $2.25 million on completion of the HCD acquisition, which is scheduled to occur immediately following completion.

1.10 Risks

The proposed acquisition of HCD carries with it the following risks:

(a) General

Due to the inherently uncertain nature of the oil and gas industry, the HCD business carries with it various risks. Shareholders should realise that the value of HCD may fluctuate and that a dividend is not expected to be declared by the Company in the medium term. Whilst the Company will attempt to minimise the following risk factors, many of them are beyond its control. This list of risk factors should not be taken as being exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company. These factors and others not specifically referred to may materially affect the performance of the Company and the value of its shares.

(b) Funding Risk

As set out in paragraph 1.9, the Company expects to have approximately $2.25 million of cash following completion of HCD. In order to fund the future growth of the HCD business it will be necessary for the Board to consider the Company's potential capital raising needs.

(c) Early Stage Risk

HCD is still at the early stage of its development. HCD has not operated as part of a listed entity to date. The Company has not to date managed HCD. These aspects bring with them a variety of different potential risks. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to overcome them moving forward.

(d) Absence of Revenue Risk

HCD has no current revenue and there is no certainty that product sales will be generated.

(e) Demand and Supply Risk

Activities within the oil and gas industry by its nature are risky. The operations of customers can be affected by a huge number of factors, risks, issues and costs. These have a potential flow on effect as far as HCD is concerned, potentially putting strain on its customer and channel relationships. Competitive pressures can impact on HCD's ability to successfully engage with the more established channel partners.

7

(f) Competitor Risk

HCD operates in a competitive environment. Its competitors will compete with HCD in relation to products and in relation to sales price. HCD's competitors may seek to reverse engineer HCD's products.

(g) Operational Risk

HCD is subject to the usual form of operational risks that apply to an international manufacturing/blending business. These include the potential for industrial disputes relating to labour or product logistics, raw material supply risks and costs, capital costs which may be incurred in the event of increased demand, the hiring of appropriately skilled and secure labour, and geopolitical and government risk.

(h) Intellectual Property Risk

As set out above, whilst HCD will own the intellectual property relating to the Multiflow products, it will not be granted access to the formulas and related know‐ how until completion of the maximum royalty agreement payment in the absence of certain specified exceptions. There is a potential risk which arises simply because these formulas and related know‐how are not held directly by HCD.

(i) Currency Risk

HCD's revenues are expected to be largely denominated in US dollars, whereas its operating costs are expected to be largely denominated in a combination of US dollars and Australian dollars. As an ASX listed entity, the Company reports in Australian dollars. These aspects mean that the Company is exposed to currency and exchange rate risk.

(j) New Shareholder Selling Risk

As a consequence of the HCD acquisition, both the number of shareholders in the Company and the number of shares on issue in the Company will substantially increase. Whilst 70% of the up to 50 million ordinary shares to be issued will be subject to escrow for a 12 month period, there may be selling of the non‐escrowed shares during this period and of all shares after this period which may impact on the Company's share price in the absence of equivalent demand.

8

2. Election of Director ‐ Mr Nicholas Castellano

It is proposed that Nicholas (Nick) Castellano be appointed as a director.

Nick is the HCD founder and is the inventor of the MultiFlow technology. It is also intended that he continue to be the Chief Technical Officer and Production Manager as a full time consultant for a minimum 3 year period.

Nick spent a decade in the nuclear power program of the United States navy ultimately becoming the leading chief of the reactor laboratory division of the nuclear powered aircraft carrier the Dwight D. Eisenhower where he assumed responsibilities for chemistries in the reactor plants.

After leaving, Nick developed cutting edge chemistry and patented processes in the industrial water and oil industries. In the industrial water industry Nick founded an industrial water treatment company with clients such as Pepsi Cola, Coca Cola and United Dairymen. In the oil industry Nick focused on oil well chemistry, developing and founding the technology of HCD.

He completed his MA PHD at Canterbury University. Nick is passionate and committed to providing ongoing input into expanding the application of HCD's technology. Nick is based in Arizona.

3. Election of Director ‐ Mr Allan Ritchie

It is proposed that Allan Ritchie be appointed as a director. It is also intended that he continue to be the HCD Chief Executive Officer as a full time consultant for a minimum 6 month period.

Allan has served as a director of several private and public listed companies and is a principal of his own firm where he focuses on asset acquisitions and offtake arrangements in the energy, resources and infrastructure space.

Allan is an investment banking professional with a career spanning 30 years of origination and structuring. He held senior positions at Westpac, ANZ Bank, HSBC and BNP Paribas in London, New York and Asia Pacific.

This is your name and address as it appears on the Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that individual or body corporate in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

DEFAULT TO CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote those proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chairman of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Form.

VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
