1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 6

May Placement

On 10 May 2024, the Company announced to ASX that it had received commitments from sophisticated and institutional investors to participate in a placement of the Company’s Shares ( May Placement ) to raise approximately $1,000,000 (before costs) at an issue price of $0.005 per May Placement Share.

The May Placement was lead managed by Blue Ocean Equities Pty Ltd ( Blue Ocean ).

The Company has issued 185,000,000 Shares under the Placement to date ( May Placement Shares ), including:

  • (a) 78,111,325 Placement Shares in reliance on the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) 106,388,675 Placement Shares in reliance on the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company now seeks the approval of Shareholders to Resolutions 1 and 2 to ratify the issue of the May Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, for the purpose of “refreshing” the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (as explained in further detail in Section 2.1 below).

Director Participation in Placement

As part of the May Placement, two of the Directors, Messrs Kenneth Aitken and Robbert Willink ( Participating Directors ) each committed to subscribe for $25,000 worth of Shares at an Issue Price of $0.005, being a total of 5,000,000 Shares each ( Director Placement Shares ), subject to obtaining the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11 ( Director Placement ). The Company seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Mr Aitken under Resolution 5 and to Mr Willink under Resolution 6, pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.

The funds raised from the issue of the Director Placement Shares will be used for the same purposes as the funds raised under the Placement.

July Placement

On 8 July 2024, the Company issued 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares ( July Placement Shares) to sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.005 per July Placement Share to raise $250,000 (before costs) ( July Placement ).

The July Placement was conducted by the Company, there was no Lead Manager to the July Placement.

The Company issued the July Placement Shares under its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

10

The July Placement participants will also receive one (1) free attaching unlisted option for every ten (10) new July Placement Shares subscribed ( July Placement Options ), subject to shareholder approval. The July Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.01 each and expire on 4 June 2027.

The Company now seeks the approval of Shareholders to Resolution 3 to ratify the issue of the July Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, for the purpose of “refreshing” the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company also seeks approval from Shareholders in Resolution 4 to issue the July Placement Options pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF MAY PLACEMENT SHARES

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 in respect of the issue of 185,000,000 May Placement Shares, which were issued in reliance on the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without Shareholder approval.

2.1 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders. A listed company may not, over any 12-month period, issue or agree to issue an amount of Equity Securities which is greater than to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that 12-month period ( 15% Placement Capacity ), unless the issue or agreement to issue is approved by shareholders or otherwise comes within one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1A allows for a listed company to increase its capacity to issue Equity Securities by an additional 10% of the company’s issued share capital, subject to obtaining shareholder approval at an annual general meeting. The Company obtained such approval at its most recent annual general meeting of Shareholders. Therefore the Company may, in addition to its 15% Placement Capacity, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of its issued capital at the time of issue or agreement, over a period ending no later than 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which such approval was obtained ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ).

The issue of the May Placement Shares did not qualify under any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A, and accordingly, was issued in reliance on the Company’s placement capacity under those Listing Rules (without Shareholder approval), reducing 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 date.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits a company in general meeting to ratify a previous issue of Equity Securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and/or 7.A (provided that the previous issue did not breach the conditions of the relevant Listing Rule). The purpose and effect of the ratification is to “refresh” the Company’s placement capacity under those Listing Rules, thereby allowing the Company to issue a further number of Equity Securities equal to the number of Equity Securities ratified, without Shareholder approval, in reliance on and subject to the conditions prescribed under the 15% Placement Capacity and/or Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

For the above reason, Shareholder approval is sought under Resolutions 1 and 2 to ratify the issue of 185,000,000 May Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.4.

2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the issue of the May Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity and Additional 10% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the May Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the issue of the May Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity and Additional 10% Placement Capacity, and any further issue of Equity Securities within the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares will require the prior approval of Shareholders, unless it qualifies for another exception to Listing Rule 7.1. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has fully utilised its placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1A.

106,388,675 Shares were issued using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, the ratification of which is the subject of Resolution 2.

12

(g) Voting exclusion statement

2.4 Board Recommendation

Each Director recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

3. RESOLUTION 3 - RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF JULY PLACEMENT SHARES

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 in respect of the issue of 50,000,000 July Placement Shares, which were issued in reliance on the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval.

3.1 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders. A listed company may not, over any 12-month period, issue or agree to issue an amount of Equity Securities which is greater than to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that 12-month period ( 15% Placement Capacity ), unless the issue or agreement to issue is approved by shareholders or otherwise comes within one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of the May Placement Shares did not qualify under any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1, and accordingly, was issued in reliance on the Company’s placement capacity under those Listing Rules (without Shareholder approval), reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits a company in general meeting to ratify a previous issue of Equity Securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue did not breach the conditions of the relevant Listing Rule). The purpose and effect of the ratification is to “refresh” the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby allowing the Company to issue a further number of Equity Securities equal to the number of Equity Securities ratified, without Shareholder approval, in reliance on and subject to the conditions prescribed under the 15% Placement Capacity.

For the above reason, Shareholder approval is sought under Resolution 3 to ratify the issue of 50,000,000 July Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.4.

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the July Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the July Placement Shares.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue of the July Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, and any further issue of Equity Securities within the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares will require the prior approval of Shareholders, unless it qualifies for another exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

3.3 Technical 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 Resolution 3:

(h) Identity of the persons to whom securities were issued

The July Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors who were identified and selected by the Company. The investors were identified by meeting the criteria of being sophisticated and/or professional investors with the required capital to participate.

13

The July Placement Shares were not issued to any material investors[2] of the Company.

  • (i) The number and class of securities issued

A total of 50,000,00 Shares comprised the July Placement Shares.

The July Placement Shares are all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.

  • (j) Issue date

The July Placement Shares were issued on 8 July 2024.

  • (k) Issue price

  • All July Placement Shares were issued at a price of $0.005 per July Placement Share.

  • (l) Purpose of the issue

The funds raised pursuant to the issue of the Placement Shares will be primarily applied to progress appraisal development of the Odin gas field (ATP2021 & PRL211) via the drilling of the Odin-2 well, to bring that well into production and otherwise, for the Company’s general working capital.

  • (m) Relevant agreement

The July Placement Shares were not issued under any agreement.

  • (n) Voting exclusion statement

  • A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 3 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

3.4 Board Recommendation

Each Director recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE JULY PLACEMENT OPTIONS

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the July Placement Options.

4.1 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 7.1, subject to specific exceptions, limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the July Placement Options does not fall within any of the exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of the July Placement Options therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1. To that end, Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the July Placement Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the July Placement Options to the July Placement participants and the issue of the July Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the July Placement Options.

2 ASX consider the following to be material investors:

(i). a related party of the Company;

(ii). a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel; (iii). a substantial shareholder in the Company; (iv). an adviser to the Company; or

(v). an Associate of any of the above, where such person or entity is being issued more than 1% of the Company’s current issued capital.

14

Further, if all of the July Placement Options are issued and exercised before the expiry date, the Company has the potential to raise up to $50,000 from the exercise of those July Placement Options.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, unless the Company otherwise has the capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the July Placement Options and consequently, the Company will not potentially raise up to $50,000 on the exercise of Placement Options.

4.2 Technical 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 Resolution 4:

(a) Identity of the persons to whom securities were issued

The July Placement Options are proposed to be issued to the July Placement participants, being various professional and sophisticated investors identified by the Company. This process of identifying existing and new investors is managed by the Company officers and communicated as part of the capital raising process. None of the sophisticated and professional investors are a related party of the Company or material investor.[3]

  • (b) The number and class of securities issued or agreed to issue

  • A total of 5,000,000 July Placement Options are to be issued, being options to subscribe for Shares.

  • (c) A summary of the material terms of the securities

The July Placement Options are unlisted options, exercisable at $0.01 each and expiring on 4 June 2027.

The material terms of the July Placement Options are outlined in Schedule 3.

  • (d) Issue date

The Company anticipates that the July Placement Options will be issued on a date shortly following the conclusion of the Meeting, and in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • (e) Issue price

The July Placement Options will be issued at a nil issue price, being free attaching options to the July Placement Shares. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the July Placement Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the July Placement Options).

(f) Purpose of the issue

The purpose of the issue of the July Placement Options is to incentivise participation in the Placement.

If all of the July Placement Options are exercised prior to expiry, the Company will raise up to $50,000. If this is the case, the Company anticipates it will use those funds for working capital purposes as required at the time.

(g) Relevant Agreement

The July Placement Options will not be issued under any agreement.

  • 3 ASX consider the following to be material investors:

  • (i). a related party of the entity;

  • (ii). a member of the entity’s Key Management Personnel; (iii). a substantial holder in the entity; (iv). an adviser to the entity; or

  • (v). an associate of any of the above,

where such person or entity is being issued more than 1% of the entity’s current issued capital.

(h) Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 4 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

5. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 - DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN PLACEMENT – KENNETH AITKEN AND ROBBERT WILLINK

5.1 Background

As noted in the Section 1, the Company has received commitments from two of its Directors, Mr Kenneth Aitken (Managing Director) and Mr Robbert Willink (Non-Executive Director) ( Participating Directors ), to subscribe for, between them, a total of $50,000 worth of Shares under the Placement, subject to the Company obtaining the requisite Shareholder approvals. If approved, a total of 10,000,000 Shares will be issued to the Participating Directors on the same terms as the Placement, including as to issue price, as follows:

  • (a) 5,000,000 Shares to Mr Kenneth Aitken (Resolution 5); and

  • (b) 5,000,000 Shares to Mr Robbert Willink (Resolution 6),

(collectively, Director Placement Shares ).

The issue of the Director Placement Shares would result in the Participating Directors’ respective Shareholdings and voting power in the Company, when aggregated with that of its increase, being as follows:

Participating
Director
As at date of this Notice As at date of this Notice Immediately after issue of
Director Placement Shares
Immediately after issue of
Director Placement Shares

Robbert Willink 13,090,629 0.90% 18,090,629 1.25%

The issue of the Director Placement Shares however is not expected to have any impact on the control of the Company.

5.2 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless a specified exception set out at Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to a related party (amongst others) without the approval of its ordinary shareholders. A “related party” includes the directors of a company.

As such, Shareholder approval is sought in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Mr Kenneth Aitken under Resolution 5 and Mr Robbert Willink under Resolution 6 for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 and all other purposes, by virtue of their directorships.

As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of the Director Placement Shares (if approved) will not impact the 15% Placement Capacity or the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

If either Resolution 5 or 6 are passed, the Director that is the subject of the relevant Resolution that is passed will be able to participate in the Director Placement and subscribe for the number of Placement Shares as applicable to that Director as set out at section 5.1 above.

If either Resolution 5 or 6 are not passed, the Director that is the subject of the relevant Resolution that is not passed will not be able to participate in the Director Placement and will not be issued Director Placement Shares.

16

Technical 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 Resolutions 5 and 6:

(a) Name of person to whom securities are to be issued

The securities to be issued under Resolution 6 are to be issued to Mr Robbert Willink (or his nominee).

  • (b) Nature of relationship between person to receive securities and the Company

(c) Number and class of securities to be issued

A total of 5,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company will be issued to Mr Kenneth Aitken (or his nominee) if Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders.

(f) Purpose of the issue

The purpose of the issue of the Director Placement Shares is to allow the Participating Directors to participate in the Placement and for the Company to maximise the funds raised under the Placement.

The funds raised pursuant to the issue of the Director Placement Shares will be primarily applied to progress appraisal development of the Odin gas field (ATP2021 & PRL211) via the drilling of the Odin-2 well, to bring that well into production and otherwise, for the Company’s general working capital.

(g) No incentivisation

The Director Placement Shares are not being issued to incentivise either of the Participating Directors.

(h) Relevant Agreement

(i) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 5 and 6 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

5.3 Chapter 2E – Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

17

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act and includes the directors of the Company. As such, the Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial 27 benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party. Accordingly, the issue of the securities under Resolutions 5 and 5 (inclusive) constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party.

One of the nominated exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is where the provision of the financial benefit is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length (or on terms less favourable than arm’s length).

Approval is not being sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for Resolutions 5 and 6 (inclusive) as it is the view of the Board that the issue of the securities by the Company to the Directors is being made on an arm’s length basis as the securities are on the same terms as the securities issued to sophisticated and professional investors under the Placement.

5.4

Board Recommendation

Each Director (other than the Participating Directors, who abstains by reason of their material personal interest in the outcomes of Resolutions 5 and 6) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of Resolutions 5 and 6.

6. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 9 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS

Resolutions 7 to 9 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 in respect of the issue of the following Options, which were issued in reliance on the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval:

  • (a) 2,000,000 Options to the Company’s lead manager in connection with the Placement, Blue Ocean Equities Pty Ltd ( Blue Ocean ), on 4 June 2024 (Resolution 7) ( Broker Options ); and

  • (b) 4,000,000 Options to each of the Company’s lenders, A.C.N. 136 965 538 as trustee for the Nagy Trust ( Nagy ) and J & A Vaughan Super Pty Ltd as trustee for the J & A Vaughan Superannuation Fund ( J&A Vaughan ) on 19 April 2024 (Resolution 8 and Resolution 9 respectively) (collectively, Lender Options ).

The Broker Options were issued to Blue Ocean pursuant to its mandate with the Company as part consideration for the services provided by Blue Ocean as lead manager in connection with the Placement. In addition to the Broker Options, Blue Ocean was also paid a fee of 6% of the on gross proceeds raised by the Company from the Placement (made up of a 3% management fee and a 3% selling fee).

The Lender Options were issued to Nagy and J&A Vaughan pursuant to Secured Loan Deeds dated 9 April 2024 between the Company and each of Nagy and J&A Vaughan (each, a Loan Deed ) as consideration for their provision to the Company of a short term commercial loan facility as announced to the ASX on 11 April 2024.[4]

6.1 Regulatory Requirements

As noted in section 2.1 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue or agree to issue, unless the issue or agreement to issue is approved by shareholders or otherwise comes within one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1, subject to specified exceptions.

The issue of the Broker Options and the Lender Options do not qualify under any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1, and accordingly, was issued in reliance on the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (without Shareholder approval). This reduced the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Broker Options and the Lender Options by approximately 0.75% in total.

As noted in section 2.1 above, Listing Rule 7.4 permits a company in general meeting to ratify a previous issue of Equity Securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue did not breach the conditions of that Listing Rule). For this reason, Shareholder approval is sought under Resolutions 7 to 9 (inclusive) to ratify the issue of the Broker Options and the Lender Options under Listing Rule 7.4, so as to “refresh” the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity to the extent utilised for the purpose of those issues.

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 Rule 7.1.

If any of Resolutions 7 to 9 are passed, the issue of the Options under that Resolution will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of those Options.

If any of Resolutions 7 to 9 are not passed, the issue of the Options under that Resolution will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of those Options

6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

  • (a) the Exercise Notice is deemed automatically amended, so that the specified number of Options being exercised is reduced to the highest number that would not result in the Lender owning greater than 19.99% of the Voting Shares or in the Lender’s voting power to exceed 19.99%; and
