The health and safety of members and personnel, and other stakeholders, is the highest priority and the Company is acutely aware of the current circumstances resulting from COVID19.

Based on the best information available to the Board at the time of the Notice, the Board considers it will be in a position to hold an 'in-person' meeting to provide Shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to participate in and vote at the Meeting, while complying with the COVID-19 restrictions regarding gatherings. The Company, however, strongly encourages Shareholders to submit proxies prior to the Meeting.

If the situation in relation to COVID-19 were to change in a way that affected the position above, the Company will provide a further update ahead of the Meeting by releasing an ASX announcement.

All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon.

  • (ii) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms .

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • (i) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed);

  • (ii) if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;

  • (iii) if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

Page 6

  • (iv) if the proxy is not the Chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • (i) an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members;

  • (ii) the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting;

  • (iii) at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • (iv) either the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting or the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

2.4

Chair's voting intentions

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

2.5

The Chair will attempt to respond to the questions during the Meeting. The Chair will request prior to a Shareholder asking a question that they identify themselves (including the entity name of their shareholding and the number of Shares they hold).

3. Resolution 1(a) and (b) – Ratification of issue of Placement Shares

3.1

General

On 17 November 2021, the Company announced a capital raising of $9,600,000 (before costs). The capital raising is comprised of the following three tranches:

  • (a) the issue of 76,250,000 Shares to unrelated parties at an issue price of $0.08 per Share ( Placement Shares ), with one free-attaching Option for every two Placement Shares issued ( Placement Options );

  • (b) the issue of 42,187,500 Convertible Notes, convertible into Shares at a conversion price of $0.08, with one free-attaching Option for every two Shares issued on conversion; and

  • (c) the issue of 1,562,500 Shares to certain Directors (or their nominees) at an issue price of $0.08 per Share ( Director Placement Shares ), with one free-attaching Option for every two Director Placement Share issued ( Director Placement Options ),

Page 7

(collectively, the Placement ).

On 23 November 2021, the Company issued the Placement Shares using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A on the following basis:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • 45,742,756 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • 30,507,244 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 1(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares.

3.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

Broadly speaking, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the ability of a listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities over a 12 month period which exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary Shares it had on issue at the start of the 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities comprising up to 10% of its issued capital. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 29 June 2021.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, as applicable.

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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

If Resolution 1(a) and (b) are passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A in their respective portions, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

In the event that Resolution 1(a) is not passed, those Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval to the extent of 45,742,756 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.

In the event that Resolution 1(b) is not passed, those November Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agreed to issue without

Page 8

obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 30,507,244 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.

3.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom is a related party of the Company or a Material Investor. The placement participants were introduced to the Company from existing contacts of the Lead Manager.

  • (b) 76,250,000 Placement Shares were issued as follows:

  • (i) 45,742,756 Placement Shares were issued within the Company's 15% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval; and

  • (ii) 30,507,244 Placement Shares were issued within the 10% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A, without the need for Shareholder approval.

  • (c) The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Placement Shares were issued on 23 November 2021.

  • (e)

  • The Placement Shares were issued at $0.08 each.

  • (f) The proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares have been or are intended to be used to:

  • (i) explore business opportunities in green hydrogen in Australia;

  • (ii) provide contingency funding for the onshore seismic operations in the East Seram PSC; and

  • (iii) provide general working capital.

  • (g) One free-attaching Option is proposed to be issued for every two Placement Shares issued, subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval of Resolution 2. There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Placement Shares.

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

3.4 Additional information

Each of the Resolutions which forms part of Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1(a) and (b).

4.1

General

The background to the proposed issue of the Placement Options is in Section 3.1 above.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 38,125,000 free-attaching Placement Options.

4.2

Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 3.2 above.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company may continue to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options by using its 15% placement capacity permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 or will otherwise be required to reach a commercial agreement with the placement participants. The number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, will be reduced to the extent of 38,125,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Options.

4.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Placement Options:

  • (a) The Placement Options will be issued to the persons who were issued Placement Shares, as described in Section 3.3(a).

  • (b) A maximum of 38,125,000 Placement Options will be issued.

  • (c) The Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.12 each and will expire 30 months from the date of issue and are otherwise subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.

  • (d) The Placement Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

The Placement Options are proposed to be issued for nil cash consideration as they are free-attaching to the Placement Shares. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Placement Options.

  • (e) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 3.3(f) above. No additional funds will be raised by the issue of the Placement Options.

  • (f) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the issue of the Placement Options.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7.1

General

The background to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities is in Section 3.1 above.

Resolution 5(a) and (b) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 1,562,500 Director Placement Shares and 781,250 Director Placement Options (together, the Director Placement Securities ) to Thomas Soulsby and Damien Servant (or their respective nominees).

Messrs Soulsby and Servant have committed a total of $125,000 under the Placement. The Director Placement Securities will be issued in the following proportions:

Director Amount committed

($)
Number of Director
Placement Shares
Number of Director
Placement Options

Damien Servant $25,000 312,500 156,250
TOTAL $125,000 1,562,500 781,250

7.2

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

Page 14

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).

Messrs Thomas Soulsby and Damien Servant are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Securities as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Placement Securities to the Messrs Soulsby and Servant (or their respective nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 5(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Securities, raising $125,000 (before costs).

If Resolution 5(a) and (b) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Securities, and will not receive the additional $125,000 committed by Messrs Soulsby and Servant.

7.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities:

  • (a) The Director Placement Securities will be issued to Thomas Soulsby and Damien Servant (or their respective nominees).

  • (b) The Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors of the Company.

  • (c) A maximum of 2,343,750 Director Placement Securities will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) in the manner and form set out in Section 7.1 above.

  • (d) The Director Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue. The Director Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.12 each and will expire 30 months from the date of issue. The Director Placement Options are subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.

Page 15

  • (e) The Director Placement Securities will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (f) The Director Placement Shares are proposed to be issued at an issue price of $0.08 each, being the same price at which the Placement Shares were issued. The Director Placement Options are proposed to be issued for nil cash consideration as they are free-attaching to the Director Placement Shares. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Placement Options.

  • (g) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 3.3(f) above.

  • (h) The proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors.

  • (i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities.

  • (j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Securities because the Securities will be issued on the same terms as those Securities issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

7.5
