EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 & 2 - ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES

1.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Shares to current directors Mr Anthony Huston and Mr Peter Richards (together, the Recipient Directors ) on the terms and conditions set out below in lieu of outstanding director fees owed up to 1 June 2025 ( Related Party Shares ).

The Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of:

  • (a) 16,648,800 Related Party Shares to Mr Anthony Huston (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 1; and

  • (b) to approve the issue of 5,575,200 Related Party Shares to Mr Peter Richards (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 2;

1.2 Director Recommendation

The Directors (other than the Recipient Director) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of these Resolutions to enable the Recipient Directors to be issued Shares in lieu of cash fees payable to the Recipient Directors.

The Recipient Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that the Recipient Directors (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Shares should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Recipient Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.

1.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 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 issue of the Related Party Shares to the Recipient Director constitutes the giving of a financial benefit. The Recipient Directors are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than the Recipient Directors who have a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the agreement to issue the Related Party Shares, reached as part of the reasonable remuneration package for each Recipient Director, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

1.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.11.1 a related party of the entity;

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

  • 10.11.3 a person who is or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has

5

nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so.

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

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders.

The issue of Related Party Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

1.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Shares and the Company may be required to pay the Directors their outstanding fees in cash.

1.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1 and Resolution 2:

  • (a) The Shares will be issued to Mr Anthony Huston and Mr Peter Richards (or their respective nominees), who are each a related party of the Company pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.1, by virtue of being a Director. Any nominee(s) of the Recipient Directors who receive Related Part Shares may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.4.

  • (b) The maximum number of Related Party Shares to be issued to the Recipient Directors (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 22,224,000 Shares comprising the amounts set out in the table below:

Notes:

  2. Excludes tax.

  3. (c) The Related Party Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing fully paid ordinary shares;

  4. (d) The number of Related Party Shares to be issued to each of the Recipient Directors has been determined based upon a consideration of:

  5. (i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;

  6. (ii) the remuneration of the Recipient Directors; and

6

  • (iii) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service and to retain the service of the Recipient Directors who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Shares upon the terms proposed.

(e) The current total remuneration package for each of the Recipient Directors for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below. If the Related Party Shares are issued to the Recipient Directors,, their total remuneration will not increase as the Related Party Shares are being issued in lieu of cash payment for director fees:

RELATED PARTY PREVIOUS FINANCIAL
YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE
2024
CURRENT FINANCIAL
YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE
2025
Anthony Huston1 $27,500 $27,876
Peter Richards2 $27,500 $27,876

Notes:

  1. The Company notes that no cash directors’ fees have been paid to Mr Huston since his appointment.

  2. The Company notes that no cash directors’ fees have been paid to Mr Richards since his appointment.

  3. (f) The Company expects to issue the Related Party Shares within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. The Related Party Shares will be issued to the Recipient Directors no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). It is anticipated the Related Party Shares will be issued on one date.

  4. (g) The deemed issue price of the Related Party Shares will be $0.005. No funds will be raised from the issue of the Related Party Shares however the Company will extinguish current liabilities for outstanding directors fees.

  5. (h) The Board acknowledges the issue of Related Party Shares is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4[th] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the issue of the Related Party Shares to each of those Recipient Directors reasonable in the circumstances for the following reasons:

  6. (i) the issue of the Related Party Shares is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Recipient Directors; and

  7. (ii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Shares upon the terms proposed.

  8. (i)

  9. (j)

The Shares are not being issued under an agreement;

  • A voting exclusion statement applies to these Resolutions; and

  • (k) A voting prohibition statement applies to these Resolutions.
