Notes:

  1. Assumes that no other Shares are issued or securities converted into Shares prior to the Record Date and does not account for Shares intended to be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes ( Conversion ) as it does not form part of the Entitlement Offer. Refer to the Announcement for further details of the Conversion.

For completeness, Thorney Technologies Ltd (and its associated entities) and Rod Bishop hold Convertible Notes and may be issued approximately 133,333,002 and 66,666,667 Shares respectively on Conversion of those notes at a conversion price of $0.003 per Share (subject to issue of any additional Shares upon confirmation of the amount of any accrued but unpaid interest on the relevant Convertible Notes).

  1. In calculating the potential outcomes in the table immediately above, the Company has included the issue of any New Shares which would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders (had they been Eligible Shareholders), on the assumption that those Entitlements are sold by the Nominee and taken up by the transferees of those Entitlements not associated with the relevant substantial Shareholder. No forecast is made of whether any such Entitlements will be sold, as this inclusion is made for pro forma illustrative purposes only.

  2. In calculating the potential separate outcomes for each substantial Shareholder in the table immediately above, when calculating the total percentage of Entitlements assumed to be accepted, the Company has assumed that the relevant substantial Shareholder takes up its Entitlements in full (but no assurance is given of whether that will occur).

  3. (f) As illustrated above, the substantial Shareholders may increase their respective voting power in the Company from below 20% to above 20% as a result of the Entitlement Offer.

  4. (g) The Entitlement Offer is partially underwritten by the Underwriter up to the Underwritten Amount, pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement. To the extent that any New Shares are not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer, the Underwriter (and any sub-underwriters appointed by them) is deemed to subscribe for the Underwritten Amount worth of Top-Up Shares. In these circumstances, the maximum theoretical increase in voting power of the Underwriter will be approximately 58.28%. This assumes that the Underwriter satisfies its underwriting obligations by subscribing for New Shares itself rather than through sub-underwriting commitments with third parties, which is considered unlikely as the Underwriter has or will enter into sub-underwriting agreements with various third parties.

  • (h) In the event where the Entitlement Offer is significantly undersubscribed by Eligible Shareholders, with the result that there is a large shortfall of New Shares, the Company intends to mitigate the potential effects on control by ensuring that its allocation policy facilitates the allotment of shortfall to a spread of investors. The potential control effects have also been mitigated through the Entitlement Offer being structured as a renounceable offer and partially underwritten by the Underwriter.

  • (i) As noted above, the substantial Shareholders and the Underwriter may increase their respective voting power in the Company to a point that is above 20% as a result of the Entitlement Offer. This increase will fall within the exception pursuant to Item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, subject to approval by ASIC of the appointment of a nominee under section 615 of the Corporations Act (Nominee). The Offer Booklet will provide further information regarding the Company’s appointment of the Nominee for the purposes of complying with Item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(c).
