EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Purpose of Information
This Explanatory Statement ( Statement ) accompanies and forms part of the Company’s Notice of Meeting ( Notice ) for the Extraordinary General Meeting ( Meeting ).
The Notice incorporates, and should be read together, with this Statement.
Resolutions 1(a), 1(b), and 1(c) Approval of the Issue of Options to Mr Thian Chew, Mr Alan Yamashita and Mr Alistair Bennallack.
Background
Resolutions 1(a),1(b) and 1(c) seek Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and all other purposes for the issue of Options to Directors of the Company, being Mr Thian Chew, Mr Alan Yamashita and Mr Alistair Bennallack respectively (or their respective nominees), as consideration for 100% of the Director’s fees payable to them for the period commencing 1 May 2024 to 31 August 2024. In addition, Mr Alistair Bennallack is proposed to receive further Options to the value of $1,244, rectifying an error in the amount included in the resolution tabled at the 2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM) to issue Director’s Options in lieu of Director’s fees for the period from 1 September 2024 to 30 November 2024.
The total remuneration package for each Director as set out in Invion’s 2024 Annual Report is as follows:
-
Mr Thian Chew (Executive Chairman and CEO): $509,841;
-
Mr Alan Yamashita (Non-Executive Director): $54,741; and
-
Mr Alistair Bennallack (Non-Executive Director): $54,741.
The Directors seek Shareholder approval of these Resolutions to issue zero priced unlisted Options in lieu of the Company making physical cash payments for Directors’ fees payable for the periods stated. The proposed Options are to be issued to Directors following approval of Shareholders at this Meeting at a deemed issue price to be based on the 14-day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) at the Options issue date.
The Company is currently reviewing its corporate overheads, including Directors and management fees, in order to maintain cash reserves, and ensure that resources, including cash, are effectively applied to meet company objectives. The Company is of the view that remunerating Directors by way of equity aligns the interests of Shareholders and Directors, while reducing cash expenditure.
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not, without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to certain persons, including:
-
10.11.1: related party; or
-
10.11.4: an associate of a related party
The proposed issue of Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and/or 10.11.4 above, as the proposed recipients of the Options are Directors and are therefore related parties of the Company. The proposed issue of Options therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue these Options to Directors for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolutions 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options and the Directors (or their nominee(s)) will receive the value of Options set out in the table below, with the potential increase in their shareholdings as described below.
If Resolutions 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) are not passed, the Company will not proceed with the issue of the Options to the Directors, and the applicable Director (or his nominee(s)) will not receive the Options or potential shareholdings as described in the table below and the Directors fees will need to be paid in cash.
If approvals are given under Listing Rule 10.11, approvals are not required under Listing Rule 7.1, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14. The effect of this is that the grant of those Options or the issue of Shares on the exercise price of those Options will not be included in the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity allowed to be issued without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Terms of Options
The terms of the Options are the following:
-
They vest immediately upon issue;
-
They will be issued no later than 1 month following the approval of shareholders at the Meeting;
-
The Options will be issued for nil consideration;
-
The Options will be issued in lieu of remuneration. As such there is no issue price for, and the Company will not receive cash from the issue of the Options;
-
They expire on 31 October 2028; and
-
Upon exercise, one Option entitles the holder to one fully paid ordinary share in the Company (details of the Options grant for each Director is outlined below):
| Resolution | Name of Director | Nature | Value of Directors fees to be issued as options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution 1(a) | Mr Thian Chew | Executive Chair | $30,000 |
| Resolution 1(b) | Mr Alan Yamashita | Non-Executive Director | $18,248 |
| Resolution 1(c) | Mr Alistair Bennallack | Non-Executive Director | $19,492 |
To calculate the number of Options to be issued to Directors, Directors’ fees are to be divided by the VWAP of the Company’s Shares on the ASX for the 14 trading days prior to the issue date of the Options ( 14-day VWAP ).
The following table sets out illustrative examples of the number of options granted assuming different VWAP for the 14 days, prior to the issue date of the Options, upon which shares of the Company traded on ASX.
| Example 14-day VWAP: |
$0.120 | $0.125 | $0.130 | $0.135 | $0.140 | $0.145 | $0.150 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution 1(a) total number of options to be issued to Mr Chew |
250,000 | 240,000 | 230,770 | 222,223 | 214,286 | 206,897 | 200,000 |
| Resolution 1(b) total number of options to be issued to Mr Yamashita |
152,067 | 145,984 | 140,370 | 135,171 | 130,343 | 125,849 | 121,654 |
| Resolution 1(c) total number of options to be issued to Mr |
162,433 | 155,936 | 149,938 | 144,385 | 139,229 | 134,428 | 129,947 |
Bennallack
Note: Calculations that result in a faction are to be rounded up.
Following issue of the Options, based on an assumed 14-day VWAP of $0.140:
-
Mr Thian Chew (or his nominee(s)) would be issued 214,286 Options;
-

Background
On 28 June 2024, IVX announced that a Share Subscription Agreement and Share Purchase Agreement had been entered into with Lind Global Fund II LP ( Lind ), t o provide a minimum of $2.4 million and up to $6.8 million in funding for the Company. The following issues of Shares were granted to Lind as part of the Share Subscription and Share Purchase Agreements. On 5 March 2025, IVX announced that it had issued a termination notice for the Share Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the Share Subscription Agreement, on 28 June 2024:
-
the Company issued 180,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.0075 per share, to Lind. It should be noted that these Shares were issued prior to consolidation of the Company’s Shares, on the basis to 1 Share for every parcel of 100 shares held (i.e. 1.8 million Shares on a post-consolidation basis). IVX’s Shares first traded on the ASX on a consolidated basis on 20 November 2024. Shareholders are therefore asked to ratify the issue of 1,800,000 Shares on a post consolidation basis; and
-
the Company issued 120,000,000 Options at a nil issue price, with an exercise price of $0.01 each and an expiration date of 30 months after the date of issue, to Lind. It should be noted that these Options were issued prior to consolidation of the Company’s Shares, on the basis to 1 Share for every parcel of 100 shares held (i.e. 1.2 million Options on a post-consolidation basis). IVX’s Shares first traded on the ASX on a consolidated basis on 20 November 2024. Shareholders are therefore asked to ratify the issue of 1,200,000 Options on a post consolidation basis.
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement:
-
on 16 October 2024, the Company issued 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.002 per share, to Lind. It should be noted that these Shares were issued prior to consolidation of the Company’s Shares, on the basis to 1 Share for every parcel of 100 shares held (i.e. 500,000 Shares on a post-consolidation basis). IVX’s Shares first traded on the ASX on a consolidated basis on 20 November 2024. Shareholders are therefore asked to ratify the issue of 500,000 Shares on a post consolidated basis;
-
on 25 November 2024, the Company issued 555,556 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.18 per share, to Lind;
-
on 31 December 2024, the Company 588,236 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.17 per share, to Lind; and
-
on 23 January 2025, the Company 500,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share, to Lind.
ASX Listing Rules
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can agree to 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 issues noted above do not fit within any of these expectations and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses as 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 relevant issue dates.
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 do does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
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, Resolutions 2(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) seeks Shareholder approval to the various issues outlined above under and for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4.
If this Resolution is passed, the various issues 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 relevant issue dates.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Issue 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.
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:
-
a) the Shares were issued and allotted to Lind Global Fund II LP.
-
b) the number and class of securities issued were 180,000,000 (1,800,000 post consolidation), 50,000,000 (500,000 post consolidation), 555,556, 588,236 and 500,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and 120,000,000 (1,200,000 post consolidation) unlisted Options with an exercise price of $0.01 ($1.00 post consolidation);

Fees : Invion shall pay Lind an establishment fee of $25,000, and 4% of the amount funded in each monthly tranche.
-
Purchase Price : This will be (at Lind’s election) $0.0075 per Share or a price equal to 90% of the average of the three lowest daily VWAPs during the 20 trading days prior to each subscription date. Lind may elect to use the $0.0075 price on a maximum of two monthly tranches.
-
Floor Price Protection : If the Purchase Price is less than the Floor Price of $0.004, the Company may choose to instead repay the amount that Lind has paid for that month’s Tranche Shares, with a 5% premium. Lind may reject the request and instead require that the shares are issued at the Floor Price. The Company will be able to terminate the Agreement at no cost, at any time, if the Purchase Price is less than the Floor Price.
-
Base Price : If the volume-weighted average price is at or below $0.002 for two consecutive trading days during the term of the agreement, Lind will have the right to pause its Tranche Share purchases by up to 60 days. If, during such pause period, the volume-weighted average price of the Tranche Shares increases to above the Base Price for 10 trading days, Lind will continue its Tranche Share purchases.
-
Protections : If the issue of Shares would cause Lind to hold more than 9.99% voting power in Invion, Lind or Invion may instead choose to have Invion pay a cash amount equal to the value of the Shares instead of issuing those Shares. No tranche will exceed 0.35% of the Company’s market capitalisation, except as otherwise mutually agreed.
-
Termination : The Company can terminate the Share Purchase Agreement:
-
At no cost at any time after a minimum of $300,000 has been funded
-
At no cost any time, if Purchase Price is less than the Floor Price.
-
At any other time, with $50,000 cancellation fee.
The Agreement can be terminated at any time with mutual consent, or by Lind in the event of change of control in Invion, default by Invion or certain events affecting financial markets generally.
