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. BACKGROUND TO CAPITAL RAISING AND DEBT CONVERSION
- 1.1 General
As announced by the Company on 21 November 2017, the Company is proposing to raise approximately $3.75 million through a combination (together, the Capital Raising ) of a 1 for 1 non-renounceable entitlement issue of Shares ( Entitlement Issue ), issue of convertible notes ( Convertible Notes ) and a Share placement to exempt investors under section 708 of the Corporations Act ( Placement ). Shares issued pursuant to the Capital Raising will be issued at a price of $0.001 per Share.
Under the Capital Raising, approximately $1.78 million of existing debt owed by the Company ( Indebtedness ) will be offset and applied to monies payable for subscriptions for Shares ( Settlement Shares ) under the Entitlement Issue and Placement ( Debt Settlement ) by the various lenders ( Lenders ). The Company has entered into Settlement and Offset Deeds with each of the Lenders such that upon issue of the Settlement Shares, the Indebtedness shall be settled in full and the Company will have no further liability or obligations owing with respect to the Indebtedness. Refer to Schedule 1 for further details of the Debt Settlement.
The purpose of this Notice of Meeting is for the Company to seek the requisite Shareholder approvals to enable it to:
-
(a) undertake the Placement; and
-
(b) issue Settlement Shares under the Placement to Mr Andrew Goodall and Ms Alison Coutts (or their nominee) ( Relevant Directors ), who are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors, in satisfaction of outstanding debts owed to the Relevant Directors.
Further information with respect to the Capital Raising and Debt Settlement are set out below and in the Company’s announcement on 21 November 2017.
1.2 Details of the Capital Raising
(a) Entitlement Issue
3
The Company is proposing to undertake a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement issue on the basis of 1 Share for every 1 Share held by existing Shareholders, at an issue price of $0.001 per Share to raise approximately $699,821. Patersons Securities Limited ( Patersons Securities ) has been appointed to act as Lead Manager to the Entitlement Issue.
It is proposed that $240,102.60 in outstanding debt owed to Mr Goodall will be converted into Shares via Mr Goodall subscribing for $240,102.60 worth of his entitlement under the Entitlement Issue.
The $459,718.40 of remaining funds from the Entitlement Issue will be used for the development of the Felix device, working capital and to pay the associated costs of the Capital Raising.
The Company anticipates that, subject to final discussions, the Entitlement Issue will be fully underwritten.
(b) Convertible Notes
Prior to the completion of the Entitlement Issue and Placement, the Company, in conjunction with Patersons Securities, has arranged for a convertible note facility to raise up to $300,000 of short term funding for the Company. Funds from the Convertible Notes will be used for the development of the Felix device, working capital and to pay the associated costs of the Capital Raising.
To date, the Company has received $170,000 from sophisticated and professional clients of Patersons Securities under the convertible note facility and anticipates that $130,000 balance will be raised in the weeks prior to the Company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on 5 December 2017 ( AGM ).
Pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules, as the Company currently does not have any available placement capacity, until Shareholder approval is received for the issue and conversion of the Convertible Notes, funds advanced to the Company pursuant to the convertible note facility are treated as a loan (rather than a security). The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue and conversion of the Convertible Notes at the AGM.
The Convertible Notes will convert into Shares automatically upon completion of the Entitlement Issue and Placement at a conversion price of $0.001, with a 1 for 2 free attaching option (exercisable at $0.002 on or before the date which is 2 years from their date of issue).
Further details with respect to the convertible note facility are outlined in the notice of AGM.
(c) Placement
Subject to Shareholder approval, in conjunction with the Entitlement Issue, the Company is proposing to undertake a placement of 2,750,000,000 Shares to exempt investors under section 708 of the Corporation Act at an issue price of $0.001 per Share to raise $2,750,000 (before costs and including conversion of $1,515,396.82 of existing debt to equity).
Remaining funds following the debt conversion under the Placement will be used for the development of the Felix device, working capital and to pay the associated costs of the Capital Raising.
1.3 Details of the Debt Conversion
Details of the Indebtedness owed to the Lenders and the proposed issue of Settlement Shares in satisfaction of the Indebtedness are set out in Schedule 1.
1.4 Capital Structure
The effect of the Capital Raising on the capital structure of the Company is set out below and assumes:
-
(a) completion of the Entitlement Issue;
-
(b) completion of the Placement;

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ISSUE OF SHARES PURSUANT TO PLACEMENT
2.1 General
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,025,858,766 Shares at an issue price of $0.001 per Share to raise up to $1,025,858.77 pursuant to the Placement (before costs and including debt conversions), as detailed in section 1 above.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The effect of Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to issue 1,025,858,766 Shares pursuant to the Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
It is noted that the Company proposes to issue a total of 2,750,000,000 Shares under the Placement. The Company is separately seeking Shareholder approval to allow the Relevant Directors to participate in the Placement as follows:

6
-
(i) 513,246,194 Shares in satisfaction of $513,246.19 worth of debt that will be owed to Mr Goodall by the Company as at the date of the Meeting (refer to Schedule 1 for details); and
-
(ii) 330,000,000 Shares upon a cash subscription in the Placement by Mr Goodall; and
-
(b) pursuant to Resolution 3, the issue of 880,895,040 Shares to Alison Coutts (or her nominee) under the Placement, in satisfaction of $880,895.04 worth of debt that will be owed to Ms Coutts (or her associates) by the Company as at the date of the Meeting (refer to Schedule 1 for details).
It is noted that if Resolutions 2 and 3 are not approved by Shareholders, the total value of the placement will be significantly decreased.
2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement:
-
(a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 1,025,858,766;
-
(b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur on the same date;
-
(c) the issue price will be $0.001 per Share;
-
(d) the Shares will be issued to exempt investors under section 708 of the Corporations Act. None of these subscribers will be related parties of the Company;
-
(e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and
-
(f) the Company intends to use the funds raised (together with conversion of debt) under the Placement for the settlement of existing Indebtedness, development of the Felix device, working capital and to pay the associated costs of the Capital Raising.
3. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES PURSUANT TO THE PLACEMENT
3.1 General
Pursuant to Resolution 1 the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,025,858,766 Shares pursuant to the Placement.
As detailed in section 2.1 above, the Company is separately seeking Shareholder approval to allow the Relevant Directors to participate in the Placement as follows:
-
(a) pursuant to Resolution 2, the issue of 843,246,194 Shares to Andrew Goodall (or his nominee) under the Placement as follows:
-
(i) 513,246,194 Shares in satisfaction of $513,246.19 worth of debt that will be owed to Mr Goodall by the Company as at the date of the Meeting (refer to Schedule 1 for details); and
-
(ii) 330,000,000 Shares upon a cash subscription in the Placement by Mr Goodall; and
-
(b) pursuant to Resolution 3, the issue of 880,895,040 Shares to Alison Coutts (or her nominee) under the Placement, in satisfaction of $880,895,040 worth of debt that will be owed to Ms Coutts (or her associates) by the Company as at the date of the Meeting (refer to Schedule 1 for details); and
(together, the Related Party Participation ).
Resolution 2 and 3 seek Shareholder approval for the Related Party Participation.
3.2 Settlement and Offset Deeds
As detailed in Section 1.1 above, the Company has entered into Settlement and Offset Deeds with each of the Lenders, including the Relevant Directors.
7
The Settlement and Offset Deeds for the Relevant Directors provide that, in the event the Entitlement Issue is completed but Resolutions 2 and/or 3 (as applicable) are not passed:
-
(a) In relation to outstanding Indebtedness owed to Mr Goodall ( Outstanding Goodall Debt ), the Company undertakes to, within 60 days of this Meeting, seek Shareholder approval at a general meeting ( EGM ) to convert the Outstanding Goodall Debt into Shares, on the same terms as the Placement. In the event Shareholder approval is not received, the Outstanding Goodall Debt is repayable in full, within 60 days of the EGM.
-
(b) In relation to outstanding Indebtedness owed to Ms Coutts ( Outstanding Coutts Debt ), the Company undertakes to repay the Outstanding Coutts Debt in three equal six-monthly instalments, over a period of 18 months.
In both instances, the full amount of the remaining debt is due and payable within 30 days of the Company completing capital raisings which together raise in excess of $2.5 million or if the Company terminates the directorship of the Relevant Directors (other than for cause).
3.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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 Related Party Participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Relevant Directors are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors (other than Mr Goodall in relation to Resolution 2 and Ms Coutts in relation to Resolution 3 given their material personal interests in these respective Resolutions) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Related Party Participation because the Shares will be issued to the Relevant Directors on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
3.4 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a Director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of Directors when matters in which that Director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough Directors to form a quorum for a Directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the Directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.
It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) that two of the three Directors comprising the Board (the Relevant Directors) have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 2 and 3. If each does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 2 and 3 at Board level.
For the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 2 and 3 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act.
3.5 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
8
As the Related Party Participation involves the issue of Shares to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
3.6 Relevant Interest
Upon completion of the Capital Raising, the relevant interest of the Relevant Directors in the Shares of the Company is set out in Section 1.5 above.
3.7 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Related Party Participation:
-
(a) the Shares will be issued to the Relevant Directors (or their nominee);
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 1,724,141,234, comprising:
-
(i) pursuant to Resolution 2, the issue of 843,246,194 Shares to Andrew Goodall (or his nominee) as follows:
-
(A) 513,246,194 Shares in satisfaction of $513,246.19 worth of debt that will be owed to Mr Goodall by the Company as at the date of the Meeting (refer to Schedule 1 for details); and
-
(B) 330,000,000 Shares upon a cash subscription in the Placement by Mr Goodall; and
-
-
(ii) pursuant to Resolution 3, the issue of 880,895,040 Shares to Alison Coutts (or her nominee), in satisfaction of $880,895.04 worth of debt that will be owed to Ms Coutts (or her associates) by the Company as at the date of the Meeting (refer to Schedule 1 for details);
-
(c) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);
-
(d) the issue price will be $0.001 per Share, being the same as all other Shares issued under the Placement;
-
(e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and
-
(f) the funds raised will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement as set out in section 2.2(f) of this Explanatory Statement.
As approval for the Related Party Participation is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the issue of Shares to the Relevant Directors (or their nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
Proxy which is a Body Corporate
Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission.
