EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement forms part of the Notice of Meeting and has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the AGM.

ITEM 1: Financial Report – Year ended 30 June 2022

The Corporations Act requires the Financial Report (which includes the financial statements and the Directors’ Declaration), the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report to be tabled for discussion at the AGM. There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or in the Constitution of the Company for Shareholders to approve the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report or the Auditor’s Report. Shareholders attending the AGM will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Financial Report.

This item of business provides Shareholders with an opportunity to ask questions concerning or make comments on the Company’s financial statements and reports for the year ended 30 June 2022 and the Company’s performance generally.

A representative of the Auditor (Ernst & Young) will be attending the AGM.

As a Shareholder, you are entitled to submit a written question to the Auditor prior to the AGM provided that the question relates to:

  • the content of the Auditor’s Report; or

  • the conduct of the audit in relation to the Financial Report.

All questions must be sent by email to the Company Secretary at [email protected] and must not be sent directly to the Auditor. The Company will then forward all questions to the Auditor. All questions must be received by no later than 5.00pm on Wednesday 2 November 2022 .

The Auditor will answer written questions submitted prior to the AGM.

The Auditor will also answer questions at the meeting from Shareholders relevant to:

  • the conduct of the audit;

  • the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report;

  • the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

ITEM 2: Remuneration Report

The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the policy on remuneration of the Directors of the Company and specified executives of the Company.

The Corporations Act requires that a resolution be put to the vote that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote is advisory and does not bind the Directors of the Company. However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Company’s next Remuneration Report must explain the Board’s proposed action in response or explain why no action has been taken.

In the following year, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted are against adoption, Shareholders will then vote to determine whether the Directors, excluding the CEO, will need to stand for re-election (a “ Spill Resolution ”). If more than 50% of the

8

votes cast on the Spill Resolution are in favour, a separate re-election meeting must be held within 90 days.

At the Company's 2021 Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that meeting were less than 25%.

Members attending the AGM will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Subject to the voting exclusions set out in the Notice of Meeting, the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

ITEM 3: Re-election of Mr Robin Levison as a Director

Mr Robin Levison CA, MBA, FAICD. Non-Executive Director

Appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 12 July 2019 and a member of the Audit & Risk Committee

Robin Levison has more than 25 years of public company management and board experience. During this time, he has served as Managing Director at Industrea Limited and Spectrum Resources Limited and has held senior roles at KPMG, Barclays Bank and Merrill Lynch. He is a Non-Executive Director of PPK Group Limited and a number of PPK’s related companies including unlisted public companies White Graphene Limited, BNNT Technology Limited and BNNT Precious Metals Limited and

private companies including 3D Dental Technology Pty Ltd, Ballistic Glass Pty Ltd, Strategic Alloys Pty Ltd, AMAG Holdings Australia Pty Ltd, and Craig International Ballistics Pty Ltd.

Robin holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Queensland, is a Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia and NZ and is a Graduate and Fellow of Australian Institute of Company Directors. Robin recently retired as Chair of the University of Queensland Business, Economics and Law Alumni Ambassador Council.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board recommends (other than Mr Levison) that Shareholders vote in favour of Mr Levison’s reelection as a Director. The Board has recently resolved that it does not consider Mr Levison to be an independent director.

The Chairman of the meeting for this item of business intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

ITEM 4 - Approval of the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan

General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows a company to issue up to 15% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue in any 12-month period without obtaining Shareholder approval, subject to certain exceptions. This is referred to in this Notice of Meeting as the 15% Placement Capacity rule.

Exception 13 provides that the 15% Placement Capacity rule does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if Shareholders have approved the issue of the equity securities

9

under the scheme within three years of the date of issue of the relevant securities. The purpose of this resolution is to seek such approval.

Interaction with existing Executive Rights Plan

The Company’s Executive Rights Plan was established before the Company listed on ASX and a summary of the terms of the Executive Rights Plan was included in its IPO replacement prospectus dated 29 July 2021. Accordingly, service rights granted prior to 29 July 2021 under the Executive Rights Plan were excluded from the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 pursuant to Exception 13.

The Company received approval of Shareholders for the terms of the Company’s Executive Rights Plan for the purposes of Exception 13 at the Annual General Meeting held on 24 November 2021. Without affecting existing grants of services rights under that plan, the Company no longer proposes to continue to grant service rights to senior executives and employees of the Company.

Need for a new incentive plan

The Board believes that a new long term incentive arrangement is critical to allow the Company to attract, retain and motivate appropriately skilled executives. The Board believes that the structure previously used is now no longer appropriate to the evolving needs of the Company and instead intends to implement a new rolling grant structure with an overall goal of delivering growth and value to Shareholders.

The Board further believes that Performance Rights should be granted on an annual basis as part of the participant’s remuneration package, but assessed against the vesting conditions over a reasonable and appropriate measurement period (ordinarily three years).

Proposed approach in the new Long Term Incentive Plan

The structure of the new plan was approved ‘in principle’ by the Board on 15 September 2022 and is now being put forward for Shareholder approval for the purposes of Exception 13. No invitations have currently been issued by the Board. Any future grants to participants will not be made to individuals covered by the grants under the existing Executive Rights Plan during the relevant period.

The Board has not established a remuneration committee to make recommendations on granting and vesting and these activities will continue to be the responsibility of the full Board. However, the Board will continue to reassess the situation and may choose to establish a remuneration committee in the future.

The Board proposes to make grants of Performance Rights to a limited numbers of select invitees. The Board will vary the vesting conditions from year to year and from participant to participant in a manner that the Board believes will best deliver long term value for Shareholders. Given the comparatively small size of the Company’s workforce, it is not expected that there will be a significant number of participants.

It is anticipated that the vesting conditions will contain a blend of ‘internal’ and ‘external’ measurements. Given the Company is largely ‘pre-revenue’, it is anticipated that the vesting conditions for any earlier grant’s may be more weighted towards internal measurements and delivery of the Company’s immediate strategic goals. The vesting conditions of later grants are expected to give greater weighting to ‘external’ measurements such as ‘total shareholder return’.

The Company does not currently intend to make use of a corporate trustee to operate the Long Term Incentive Plan.

10

Specific information for Shareholders required by ASX Listing Rule 7.2

Outlined below is the information required to be provided to Shareholders in accordance with Exception 13 for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval for the Executive Rights Plan:

  1. The material terms of the Long Term Incentive Plan are summarised below.

  2. No Performance Rights have been issued under the new Long Term Incentive Plan. As disclosed in the prospectus, 1,000,000 service rights were granted to Dr Lee Finniear (CEO) and 200,000 service rights were granted to Dr Steve Rowlands (CTO) under the Executive Rights Plan.

  3. The maximum number of Performance Rights proposed to be issued under the Long Term Incentive Plan will not exceed 10,000,000 (being approximately 1.6% of the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting). This maximum number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of Performance Rights to be issued under the Long Term Incentive Plan, but is specified for the purposes of setting a ceiling on the number of Performance Rights approved to be issued under and for the purposes of Exception 13.

  4. A voting exclusion statement is included above in this Notice of Meeting.

Material terms of the Long Term Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Long Term Incentive Plan.

Item Description
Offer The Board may invite certain eligible persons to apply for Performance
Rights to be issued in accordance with the Long Term Incentive Plan rules
and other conditions set by the Board.
It is anticipated that in December 2022 the Company will make its first
grant. Thereafter, the Board will consider a standard grant in September
2023 and each September thereafter.
Each Performance Right is an entitlement, upon vesting and exercise, to
an ordinary fully paid Share in the Company (on a 1 to 1 basis).
Performance Rights will not be quoted on the ASX or any other stock
exchange. The Performance Rights will have a nil exercise price.
Eligibility Participation is expected to be open to certain senior executives and
management of the Company only. The number of Performance Rights
granted are expected to reflect market standard percentages of fixed pay.
Directors (including non-executive Directors) will not be eligible to
participate in the Long Term Incentive Plan, nor will senior executives who
participate under the Executive Rights Plan for the relevant period.
Vesting conditions The Board will be highly active and involved in the setting of appropriate
and targeted vesting conditions. The Board expects to use a blend of
‘internal’ and ‘external’ metrics, with the weightings given varying from
participant to participant and year to year.
It is anticipated that the grants will initially contain a greater weighting
towards ‘internal’ measurements such as achievement of strategic and
operational goals. Thereafter, it is anticipated that grant will steadily
contain a more balanced weighting between ‘internal’ and ‘external’
measurements, such as ‘total shareholder return’.

11

Item Description
Assessment of vesting It is anticipated that each grant will be assessed by the Board against
certain of the vesting conditions on an annual basis, while actual final
testing and vesting will only occur once at the end of a three-year
measurement period (commencing June 2025 and each June thereafter).
The Board retains a discretion to waive some or all of the vesting
conditions and allow some or all of the Performance Rights to vest. Any
Performance Rights relating to vesting conditions that haven’t been met
will lapse.
Remuneration
committee
The Board will continue to assess whether the establishment of a
remuneration committee would be beneficial.
Trustee The Board will continue to assess whether the number of participants and
Performance Rights on issue would make it beneficial for the Long Term
Incentive Plan to be administered by a corporate trustee. Should this be
the case, the trust will comply with all requirements under the
Corporations Act.
Exercise A participant may exercise the Performance Rights by written notice in
accordance with the Long Term Incentive Plan rules. Upon exercise, a
participant becomes beneficially entitled to the Shares.
Termination and lapse Each Performance Right will have a term ending 15 years after the grant
date (unless otherwise determined by the Board and specified in an
invitation to the participant). If not exercised before the end of their term
the Performance Rights will lapse.
If the participant ceases their employment during a measurement period
then the Performance Rights will, subject to satisfaction of the vesting
conditions, vest in proportion to the time elapsed as served. All future and
unvested Performance Rights will lapse.
In the event the Board forms the opinion that a participant has committed
an act of fraud, defalcation or gross misconduct in relation to the
Company, the participant will forfeit all unvested and unexercised
Performance Rights.
No hedging Participants must not enter into an arrangement with anyone if it would
have the effect of limiting their exposure to risk in relation to Performance
Rights (vested or unvested) or restricted securities.
Restrictive period The Board retains the discretion to impose additional restrictive periods
on the Performance Rights after vesting, including to meet any
requirements under the Corporations Act.

If Shareholder approval is given by passing an ordinary resolution, an issue of securities under the Long Term Incentive Plan on the terms set out in this Notice of Meeting will not count towards the 15% Placement Capacity for the period of three years following the approval. If Shareholder approval is not given, an issue of securities under the Long Term Incentive Plan will count towards the 15% Placement Capacity.
