EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice of Meeting and is intended to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the business of the Meeting and of the resolutions to be proposed and considered at the Meeting at 10.00am (Melbourne time) on Tuesday, 1 August 2023 and to assist Shareholders in deciding how they may wish to vote on the resolutions.
Shareholders should read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before deciding on how to vote on the proposed resolutions to be considered at the Meeting.
Resolutions 1 and 2: Approval of Previous Share Issue - Tranche 1 Placement (Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A)
Background
On 5 June 2023, the Company announced that it had received commitments from investors to raise approximately $5,000,000 (before costs) through a placement involving the issue of 76,923,076 Shares at an issue price of $0.065 per Share ( Placement ).
The Placement will take place in two tranches:
-
60,938,678 Shares were issued to unrelated participants in the Placement on 13 June 2023 ( Tranche 1 Placement ), raising approximately $3.96 million (before costs); and
-
the remaining 15,984,398 Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement ) are subject to Shareholder approval which is being sought at this Meeting, to raise a further $1.04 million (before costs).
Taylor Collison Limited ( Taylor Collison ) acted as Sole Lead Manager and Bookrunner ( Lead Manager ) to the Placement.
On 13 June 2023 ( Issue Date ), the Company issued:
-
(a) 36,563,207 Shares to unrelated participants in the Placement, raising approximately $2.38 million (before costs) using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Listing Rule 7.1 Component ); and
-
(b) 24,375,471 Shares to unrelated participants in the Placement, raising approximately $1.58 million (before costs) using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A ( Listing Rule 7.1A Component ).
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of 36,563,207 Shares pursuant to the Tranche 1 Placement under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of 24,375,471 Shares pursuant to the Tranche 1 Placement under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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. Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its shareholders, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company sought and obtained this approval at its annual general meeting on 28 November 2022.
The Tranche 1 Placement did not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and part of the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, 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
8
Date and Listing Rule 7.1A for the remaining period the Listing Rule 7.1A approval is valid (until 28 November 2023).
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 Listing Rule 7.1A and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under those rules.
To support its activities, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain prior Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the Listing Rule 7.1 Component and Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the Listing Rule 7.1A Component, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. If Resolution 1 is passed, the Listing Rule 7.1 Component will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Listing Rule 7.1 Component 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.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Listing Rule 7.1A Component will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 Listing Rule 7.1A Component will be included in calculating the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
The following information in relation to the Shares the subject of Resolution 1 and the Shares the subject of Resolution 2 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
| Basis on which persons to whom the securities were issued were identified or selected |
The Shares were issued to participants in the Tranche 1 Placement who were qualified, institutional, sophisticated and professional investors identified by Taylor Collison, the Lead Manager. All participants in the Tranche 1 Placement were not related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. |
|---|---|
| The number and class of securities issued |
Resolution 1: 36,563,207 Shares Resolution 2: 24,375,471 Shares |
| Date of issue | 13 June 2023 |
| The price at which the securities were issued |
$0.065 per Share |
| The purpose of the issue, including the use (or intended use) of the funds raised |
Proceeds of the Placement will be utilised to fund the Company’s capital expenditure program, and for additional working capital. |
Board Recommendation and Voting Intention
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of Resolutions 1 and 2. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in FAVOUR of Resolutions 1 and 2.
9
Resolution 3: Approval of Share Issue – Tranche 2 Placement
Background
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to issue up to 15,984,398 under the Tranche 2 Placement for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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 at the start of that period.
The Tranche 2 Placement does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Tranche 2 Placement and raise a further $1.04 million (before costs) that will be used to fund the Company’s capital expenditure program, and for additional working capital. In addition, the Tranche 2 Placement 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 proceed with the Tranche 2 Placement and its work programs would need to be revised.
The following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3:
| Basis on which persons to whom the securities were issued were identified or selected |
The Shares will be issued to unrelated participants in the Tranche 2 Placement who were qualified, institutional, sophisticated and professional investors identified by Taylor Collison, the Lead Manager. All participants in the Tranche 2 Placement were not related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. |
|---|---|
| The number and class of securities issued |
Up to 15,984,398 Shares |
| Date by which the Company will issue the Shares |
The Shares will be issued as soon as practicable following Shareholder approval, and in any event, no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting. |
| Issue price | $0.065 per Share (the same price as the Tranche 1 Placement Shares) |
| The purpose of the issue, including the use (or intended use) of the funds raised |
Proceeds of the Placement will be utilised to fund the Company’s capital expenditure program, and for additional working capital. |
Board Recommendation and Voting Intention
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of Resolution 3. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in FAVOUR of Resolution 3.
Resolution 4: Approval of Issue of Lead Manager Options
As noted above, Taylor Collison acted as Sole Lead Manager and Bookrunner to the Placement.
Pursuant to a broker mandate, the Company has agreed to pay Taylor Collison a management fee of 2% and selling fee of 2% of the proceeds raised from the Placement, and issue 20,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.091 each and expiring four (4) years from the date of issue, subject to Shareholder approval ( Lead Manager Options ). Each Lead Manager Option entitles the holder to subscribe for Shares in the capital of the Company.
The broker mandate contains additional provisions, including warranties and indemnities in respect of the Company, which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of up to 20,000,000 Lead Manager Options to Taylor Collison in part consideration for services as Sole Lead Manager and Bookrunner to the Placement for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. In summary, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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 total number of fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the beginning of the 12 month period.
The proposed issue of the Lead Manager Options to Taylor Collison does not fall within any of these exceptions and, if all the Lead Manager Options were issued, it will exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options to Taylor Collison. In addition, the Lead Manager 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 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options to Taylor Collison.
The following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3:
| Names of the persons to whom the securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified or selected |
Taylor Collison Limited (or its nominee), none of whom are a related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. |
|---|---|
| The number and class of securities to be issued |
A maximum of 20,000,000 Lead Manager Options will be issued. The Lead Manager Options will be exercisable at $0.091 each on or before the date that is four (4) years from the date of issue and will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A. |
| Date by which the Company will issue the Lead Manager Options |
The Lead Manager Options will be issued as soon as practicable following Shareholder approval, and in any event, no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting. |
| Issue price | The Lead Manager Options will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued in part consideration for Taylor Collison’s services as Lead Manager to the Placement. |
| The purpose of the issue, including the use (or intended use) of the funds raised |
No funds will be raised through the issue of the Lead Manager Options as they will be issued in part consideration for Taylor Collison’s services as Lead Manager to the Placement. |
Board Recommendation and Voting Intention
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of Resolution 4. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in FAVOUR of Resolution 4.

If all Director Options granted as proposed by Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 are exercised, the effect of the exercise of the Director Options the subject of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders (including new Shareholders as a result of the Director Options being exercised) by 3.8% (based on the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice). The market price of the
12
Company’s Shares during the period of the Director Options will generally determine whether or not the Directors exercise the Director Options. At the time any Director Options are exercised, and Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of Director Options, the Company’s Shares may be trading at a price which is higher than the exercise prices of the Director Options.
The following table gives details of the highest, lowest and latest closing prices of the Company’s Shares trading on ASX over the past 12 months ending on 22 June 2023:
| Highest price/date | Lowest price/date | Latest price/date |

| $0.165 21 July 2022 |
$0.057 15 March 2023 |

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, each of the Directors is a related party of the Company and the proposed issue of Director Options is a financial benefit.
One of the nominated exceptions referred to in paragraph (a) above is where the financial benefit is remuneration to a related party as an officer or employee of the company, and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the public company, and the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment). The Board (independent of Mr Simari in respect of Resolution 5, independent of Mr Sam in respect of Resolution 6 and independent of Dr Ryan in respect of Resolution 7) considers that the issue of the Director Options is a benefit that constitutes reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, but is being sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.13
Listing Rule 10.11 relevantly 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 a related party without the approval of its shareholders.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, each of the persons listed in the table below are persons that Listing Rule 10.11 applies to for the reasons also set out in the table above. The issue of the Director Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, as each of them are a related party of the Company and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 each seek Shareholder approval to issue Director Options for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of all the Director Options. If some or all of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of all of the Director Options.
