These explanatory notes should be read with, and form part of, the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting.
1 Background to Resolutions 1 to 3
1.1 Overview
On 2 June 2021, the Company announced a share placement of 26,552,581 new shares in the Company ( Placement Shares ) to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.055 to raise up to $1.46 million ( Placement ).
Subject to shareholder approval, subscribers under the Placement will also receive 1 attaching option for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed for, exercisable at $0.07 with an expiry date of 31 December 2023 ( Attaching Options ).
The Placement occurred in two tranches.
1.2 First tranche – Placement Shares
In the first tranche, 26,552,581 Placement Shares were issued on 8 June 2021 to raise approximately $1.46 million cash before costs. These shares were issued under the Company's 15% Placement Capacity and Enhanced Placement Capacity. Accordingly, shareholder approval was not required for the issue of the Placement Shares.
The Company is seeking ratification of the prior issue of the Placement Shares issued under the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Resolution 1 .
- 1.3 Second tranche – Attaching Options and Broker Options
The second tranche of the Placement comprises the proposed grant, subject to shareholder approval, of:

-
(b) 7,500,000 options to Peak Asset Management exercisable at $0.07 with an expiry date of 31 December 2023 and otherwise on the same terms as the Attaching Options ( Broker Options ) for acting as Corporate Adviser and Lead Manager to the Placement – this approval is being sought under Resolution 3 .
The Company intends to apply for the grant of quotation of the Attaching Options and Broker Options subject to being able to satisfy the conditions of quotation. The terms and conditions will otherwise be granted on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A.
2 Resolution 1 – Ratification of the prior issue of Placement Shares
2.1 Background
The Placement Shares were issued as part of the Company's $1.46 million capital raise announced on 2 June 2021 as follows:
-
(a) 15,931,549 Placement Shares under the Company's 15% placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( 15% Placement Capacity ); and
-
(b) 10,621,033 Placement Shares under the Company's 10% enhanced placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ( Enhanced Placement Capacity ).
7
2.2 Regulatory requirements
In general terms and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a 15% cap on the number of equity securities that can be issued by the Company without shareholder approval in any 12 month period.
As the Placement Shares do not fit within any of exceptions and were issued without prior shareholder approval, they reduce the Company's 15% Placement Capacity and Enhanced Placement Capacity.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of shares made by a company without the prior approval of shareholders may be treated as having been made with shareholder approval if:
-
(a) at the time the issue took place, it did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A); and
-
(b) the shareholders of the company, in a general meeting, subsequently ratify the issue of the shares.
The issue of Placement Shares was made in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. Accordingly, the Company seeks shareholder ratification for the portion of Placement Shares issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
2.3 Effect of shareholder ratification (information required under ASX Listing Rule 14.1A)
If Resolution 1 is passed, issue of the Placement Shares will not reduce the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, essentially resetting the Company's Placement Capacity to 15%.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, effectively reducing the number of securities is can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

5.1 Background
As previously announced to the market, the Company is in early stage discussions with a number of other renewable energy project and technology developers and expects to progress additional opportunities as part of its incubator strategy once the Uniflow transaction has completed,
The Company intends to fund new projects through new equity funding. Accordingly, the Company may seek to raise additional funds from new investors or existing shareholders. Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval for the Company to issue up to 13,276,292 new shares in the Company at an issue price of no less than 80% of the VWAP of the Company's shares, calculated over the last 5 days on which sales were recorded before the day on which the placement is made ( Future Placement ).
11
5.2 Regulatory requirements
In general terms and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a 15% cap on the number of equity securities that can be issued by the Company without shareholder approval in any 12 month period. The issue of shares under the Future Placement without shareholder approval, will reduce the Company's 15% Placement Capacity.
If Resolution 4 is approved, this would have the effect that the issue of the shares under the Future Placement will not be included when determining the Company's 15% Placement Capacity. This will provide the Company with flexibility to issue up to 15% of its issued share capital over the next 12 months without the need to obtain further shareholder approval.

Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
-
9 If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction, of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):
-
(a) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Option holder would have received if the Option holder had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and
-
(b) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

Reconstructions
- 10 If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the number of Shares to which the Option holder is entitled, and/or the Exercise Price, must be reconstructed in a manner which complies with the ASX Listing Rules (which will not result in any benefits being conferred on the Option holder which are not conferred on shareholders and subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital), but in all other respects, the terms for the exercise of an Option will remain unchanged.
