For an appointment of a proxy to be valid, the form appointing the proxy and, if the form is signed under a power of attorney or other authority, the authority under which the form is signed (or a certified copy of the authority) must be received at the following addresses at least 48 hours prior to the General Meeting at which the proxy intends to vote:

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
PURPOSE OF INFORMATION
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement (which accompanies, and forms part of, the Notice of Meeting) is to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the business to be considered and Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting of Linius Technologies Limited ACN 149 796 332 to be held at 11.00am AEST on 7 June 2019 and to allow Shareholders to determine how they wish to vote on those Resolutions.
Terms and expressions used in this Explanatory Statement have the meaning given to them in the “Definitions” section located at the end of this Explanatory Statement.
Shareholders are encouraged to carefully read this Explanatory Statement and the Notice of Meeting in their entirety before deciding how to vote on each resolution. Shareholders should consult their financial or other adviser if they are undecided about what to do.
1. Ratification of prior issue of Shares – April 2019 placement (Resolution 1)
1.1 Background
On 8 April 2019, the Company announced to ASX that it had completed a placement to raise $3,500,000 by the issue of 100,000,000 Shares issued to sophisticated and professional investors none of whom are related parties of the Company, except for the Directors, approval for the issue of securities to whom is sought under Resolutions 2, 3 and 4) ( Placement ).
The Company issued the Shares within the 10% annual limit set out in Listing Rule 7.1A (described below). By issuing those Shares under the Placement, the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval within that limit was accordingly reduced.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue of the Shares to the placees noted below. It is proposed as an ordinary resolution and will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote are in favour of the Resolution. Shareholders’ attention is drawn to the voting exclusion statement in relation to Resolution 1 in the Notice.
1.2 Listing Rules 7.1A and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that certain eligible companies may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting ( AGM ) to issue up to a further 10% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the start of the 12 month period commencing on the date of the AGM ( 10% share issue capacity ). The Company is an eligible company and sought and received shareholder approval to the 10% share issue capacity at its AGM on 29 November 2018. The shareholder approval is valid until the earlier of 12 months from the date of the AGM (that is, until 29 November 2019) or, if the Company undertakes a significant transaction requiring shareholder approval under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2, the date the shareholders approve that transaction.
Without Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, the issue will be counted towards the Company's 10% share issue capacity and will therefore reduce the Company's capacity to issue securities in the future without obtaining Shareholder approval.
Accordingly, the Resolution seeks shareholder approval to allow the Company to substantially refresh its 10% share issue capacity.
Page 5
1.3 Information required for Shareholder approval under Listing Rules
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided for Shareholders:
-
(1) 71,428,572 Shares were issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A (10%) capacity on 15 April 2019;
-
(2) The Shares were issued at $0.035 per Share.
-
(3) The Shares rank equally with all other Shares on issue in the Company.
-
(4) The placees were sophisticated and professional investors, including clients of the lead manager for the Placement, Blue Ocean Equities Pty Limited AFSL 412765, and existing shareholders of the Company.
-
(5) The funds were raised for continuing operations along the Company’s three-pronged strategy for achieving its vision of making all the world’s video accessible as data, namely Linius Video Services, Partner expansion and direct sales, and general working capital purposes.
1.4 Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
2. Approval for issue of Shares to Directors – April 2018 placement (Resolutions 2, 3 and 4)
2.1 Background
As announced to ASX on 8 April 2019, they Directors have agreed to subscribe for up to approximately $1,000,000 worth of Shares (being approximately 28,571,430 Shares) in aggregate under the Placement, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue of those Shares. Further details of the Placement are set out in Section 1 above.
Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the subscription of those Shares ( Director Capital Raising Shares ).
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions) issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party without the approval of shareholders.
Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Capital Raising Shares to Gerard Bongiorno, Christopher Richardson and Stephen McGovern (and/or their nominees). If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
Furthermore, Shareholder approval of the issue of the Director Capital Raising Shares means that these issues will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 are ordinary resolutions.
2.2 Information required for Shareholder approval under Listing Rules
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided for Shareholders:

-
(3) The issue of the Director Capital Raising Shares will occur no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.
-
(4) The Director Capital Raising Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.035 per Share, being the issue price under the Placement. The Shares will comprise fully paid ordinary shares of the Company ranking equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.
-
(5) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
-
(6) The funds raised from the issue of the Director Capital Raising Shares, being approximately $1,000,000, will be aggregated with and used for the same purpose as the funds raised from the Placement. See Section 1 above for further details.
3. Approval for the issue of New Options (Resolution 5)
3.1 Background
The Company has on issue 63,760,000 unlisted Options exercisable at $0.075 each that expire on 30 May 2019 ( Expiring Options ). The Directors who are not holders of Expiring Options have resolved that, subject to Shareholder approval, an issue of New Options should be conducted to those persons who are registered as holders of the Expiring Options as at their expiry, for a subscription price of $0.0001, exercisable at $0.075 each by 29 November 2019 and otherwise on the terms and conditions detailed in the Schedule.
The current holders of the Expiring Options are professional and sophisticated investors who participated in security placements conducted by the Company in July and October 2017, including a Director, Mr Gerard Bongiorno, who participated in the October placement. The Company does not anticipate any of the Expiring Options to be exercised or transferred prior to their expiry.
3.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 6.23.3 and 6.23.4
Subject to a number of exceptions, in general terms, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of Equity Securities (for example, shares, options and convertible notes) that a listed company may issue or agree to issue without shareholder approval in any 12 month period to 15% of its issued ordinary shares ( 15% share issue capacity ).
Listing Rule 6.23.3 provides that a change to the terms and conditions of options that has the effect of increasing the period of exercise cannot be made. The proposal for the issue of the New Options to holders of the Expiring Options on the same terms and conditions as the Expiring Options, except for the expiry date, could be considered as a change that has the effect of increasing the period of exercise because the proposed expiry date of the New Options is later than the current expiry date of the Expiring Options. Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that a change that is not prohibited under Listing Rule 6.23.3 can only be made if holders of ordinary securities approve the change.
The Company has received from ASX confirmation of a waiver from the application of Listing Rule 6.23.3 in order to conduct the issue, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue pursuant to Listing Rules 6.23.4 and 7.1.
The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue the New Options on the same terms and conditions as the Expiring Options (except for their expiry date) and allow for the issue to occur without using the Company’s 15% share issue capacity.
Approval in respect of the proposed issue of New Options to Mr Bongiorno is sought separately under Resolution 5.
Page 7
3.3 Information required for Shareholder approval under Listing Rules
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided for Shareholders:
-
(1) The maximum number of securities proposed for issue is 61,260,000 New Options.
-
(2) The New Options will be issued no later than three months after Shareholder approval.
-
(3) The New Options will be issued at $0.0001 each.
-
(4) The allottees will be those persons who are registered as the holders of the Expiring Options at expiry on the expiry date of 30 May 2019, except for Gerard Bongiorno who is a Director (and for whom separate approval is sought under Resolution 6).
-
(5) The New Options will have an exercise price of $0.075 and an expiry date of 29 November 2019, and otherwise be on the terms and conditions set out in the Schedule. The New Options will be not be quoted on ASX.

-
(7) The New Options will be issued on the same date no later than three months after Shareholder approval.
The Directors, apart from Mr Bongiorno who has an interest in the outcome of this Resolution and Resolution 6, unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
4. Approval for issue of New Options to Gerard Bongiorno (Resolution 6)
4.1 Background
As detailed in Section 3.1, the Company has issue 63,760,000 Expiring Options on issue and is seeking Shareholder approval for the fresh issue of New Options to the optionholders who are registered as the holders of the Expiring Options as at their expiry on 30 May 2019.
One of the optionholders who will be registered as the holder of Expiring Options on their expiry will be Gerard Bongiorno, a Director and therefore related party of the Company. As such, Shareholder approval is necessary under Listing Rule 10.11 prior to the issue to Mr Bongiorno of any New Options. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the subscription of those New Options.
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions) issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party without the approval of shareholders.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the New Options to Mr Bongiorno (and/or his nominee). If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
Approval is also being sought pursuant to Listing Rule 6.23.4. The waiver from Listing Rule 6.23.3 granted by ASX extends to the proposed issue of New Options to Mr Bongiorno. Section 3.1 sets out further information regarding the application of Listing Rules 6.23.3 and 6.23.4.
Furthermore, Shareholder approval of the issue of the New Options means that these issues will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

This form shows your address as it appears on 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.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM
Individual:
Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.
Joint Holding:
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution 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 resolution 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 a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if he is appointed by default) but do not direct him how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as he sees fit on that resolution.
Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.
Power of Attorney:
If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
