Directors’ recommendation
- 14 The Directors (with Ms Leslie Chong abstaining) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2: Approval to issue the Convertible Notes and Noteholder Warrants to the Noteholder in connection with the Convertible Note Raising
Background
- 15 As outlined in sections 1-4 above, the Company proposed to issue the Convertible Notes and Noteholder Warrants to the Noteholder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
- 16 Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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
74696263v5 | Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
2
shareholders over any 12-month period, to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
-
17 The maximum number of Shares that would be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes and exercise of the Noteholder Warrants (in full) is 526,315,789. This represents approximately 12.73% of the Company’s total issued share capital immediately following issue of the Convertible Notes and Noteholder Warrants,[1] and is within the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 as at the Issue Date.
-
18 Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval so that the issue of the Convertible Notes and the Noteholder Warrants does not utilise the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
19 If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the Convertible Notes and the Noteholder Warrants will not utilise the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company will retain flexibility to issue equity securities in the future, up to the 15% cap under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, without having to obtain shareholder approval.
-
20 If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the Convertible Notes and the Noteholder Warrants will utilise the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and limit the number of equity securities that the Company can issue in the future, without having to obtain shareholder approval.
-
21 For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will be able to proceed with the Convertible Note Raising and issue the Convertible Notes and the Noteholder Warrants to the Noteholder, regardless of whether or not Resolution 2 is passed.

Annexure A
Material terms of Convertible Notes
| Face value | Each Convertible Note has a face value of $100,000 (with an aggregate face value of $20 million for all of the Convertible Notes). |
|---|---|
| Who can convert the Convertible Notes |
Each Convertible Note can be converted by the Noteholder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes. |
| Entitlement | Subject as provided in the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes, each Convertible Note entitles the Noteholder to convert each Convertible Note at the then applicable conversion price, into Shares credited as fully-paid. Specifically, if converted into Shares, each Convertible Note entitles its holder to such number of Shares calculated in accordance with the following formula: 𝑁=𝐹 𝐶 where: • N = the number of Shares to be issued by the Company, rounded down to the nearest whole number; • FV = the aggregate outstanding face value of the Convertible Notes on the applicable conversion date (subject to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes, as summarised in this Annexure B); and • C = the relevant ‘conversion price’ (subject to the terms and conditions as summarised in this Annexure A) on the applicable conversion date. Refer to Table 2 of Annexure A for worked examples showing how the conversion formula operates in practice. |
| Maturity Date | The Convertible Notes have a maturity date of 5 years from the Issue Date. |
| Interest | The Convertible Notes do not bear interest. |
| Conversion right | The Noteholder may convert the Convertible Notes into Shares (in all or in part) at any time from the Issue Date at a conversion price initially set at 125% of the Reference Price. A conversion right may only be exercised in respect of five (5) or more Convertible Notes. |
| Automatic conversion price and, Floor Price adjustments |
At each 6-month date after the Issue Date, the conversion price shall be adjusted to be the lower of: • the then prevailing conversion price; or • the sum of 90% of the 'current market price'2on the relevant adjustment date (rounded to four decimal places), |
2 All references in this Notice to the ‘current market price’ is as defined in the terms of issue of the Convertible Notes but generally means in respect of a Share on a particular date, the lower of: (a) the closing price of the Share on the
74696263v5 | Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

| subject to a minimum conversion price equal to 50% of the Reference Price (theFloor Price). The conversion price is adjustable on the occurrence of certain standard dilutive events, including but not limited to stock splits, consolidations and capital distributions in relation to Shares. Similarly, the Floor Price is subject to adjustment for such dilutive events. In addition, if a reorganisation occurs in respect of the Company, the Convertible Notes must be treated in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. To the extent the Company issues any equity securities below the prevailing “conversion price”, the prevailing conversion price for that period will be reduced to the effective price of such issue, but subject at all times to a minimum price equal to the Floor Price at the time. |
|
|---|---|
| Automatic redemption | Starting 6 months after the Issue Date, the Convertible Notes shall amortise in equal semi-annual instalments (Redemption Amounts). Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the Noteholder's right to defer (as described below), these Redemption Amounts may be settled in cash or Shares at the Company's option. If the Company elects to: • pay in cash, the Company shall make a payment equal to 110% of the Redemption Amount due on that date; and • repay in Shares, the quantity of Shares shall be the Redemption Amount due on that date divided by the then applicable adjusted conversion price. These automatic redemptions are subject to the Noteholder's right to defer some or all of any such amount to a subsequent redemption date and added to a subsequent Redemption Amount. |
| Early redemption at the option of the Noteholder |
On the 3rd and 4th anniversary of the Issue Date, the Noteholder may request via a redemption notice that the Company redeems all or part of the then outstanding Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the then outstanding amount of the Convertible Notes. |
| Maximum dilution and ownership cap |
The imposition of the Floor Price means that the maximum number of Shares that can be issued from the conversion of the Convertible Notes is capped at 1,052,631,579 Shares.3 Separately, at all times the Noteholder is subject to a maximum ownership cap in Shares of 9.9%. In the event the Convertible Notes become fully convertible, conversion will first be into as many Shares as possible given this ownership cap, with the remainder paid by the Company in cash. |
| Redemption rights | The Convertible Notes also entitle the Noteholder (at its election) to specific redemption payments if a ‘change of control’ in the Company or certain prescribed events of default occur, such payments calculated in accordance with prescribed formulas under the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes. |
| Quotation of Convertible Notes and Shares issued on |
• Each Convertible Note will not be quoted on the ASX. |

| Rights to Substitute Property on Change of Control |
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, if there is a ‘change of control’ and the holder of a Share will be issued or receive shares, stock, securities, other equity interests or assets in respect of that Share (Substitute Property), then the Company must make appropriate provision to ensure that each Noteholder Warrant gives the holder the right to acquire and receive the Substitute Property at the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the ‘change of control. The Company must not effect any ‘change of control’ if its obligations under the Noteholder Warrants will be assumed by a successor entity, unless the successor entity assumes the obligation to deliver to each such holder of a Noteholder Warrant upon exercise of the Noteholder Warrant the Substitute Property. |
