2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1 above, on or about 18 July 2022, the Company issued 131,414,473 Shares at an issue price of $0.11 per Share to raise $14,455,592 ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ).

78,848,684 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 52,565,789 Shares (being, the subject of Resolution 2) were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 31 January 2022.

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 31 January 2022.

10

3016-01/2985560_4

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, 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 date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

2.3

Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, 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 Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, 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 the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

2.5

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 Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) 98,560,855 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to the Subscriber Group as follows:

  • (i) 68,992,598 Placement Shares were issued to HK Jayson;

  • (ii) 19,712,171 Placement Shares were issued to Hoston; and

  • (iii) 9,856,085 Placement Shares were issued to Longmarch;

  • (b) 32,853,618 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients or contacts of Evolution. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Evolution seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

11

3016-01/2985560_4

  • (c) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients, other than the Subscriber Group, were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (d) 131,414,473 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 78,848,684 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

  • (ii) 52,565,789 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);

  • (e) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (f)

  • the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 19 July 2022;

  • (g) the issue price was $0.11 per Tranche 1 Placement Shares under both the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares;

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares was to raise $14,455,592, which the Company intends to apply towards the purposes set out in Section 1.1; and

  • (i) 98,560,855 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to the Subscriber Group under the Subscription Agreements, which are summarised at Section 1.2, the remaining 32,853,618 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES

3.1 General

As noted in Section 1.1 above, the Company is proposing to issue up to 89,721,891 Shares at an issue price of $0.11 per Share to raise up to $9,894,408 ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 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 proposed issue of 51,919,109 of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to professional and sophisticated investors does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

12

3016-01/2985560_4

The proposed issue of 37,802,782 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Subscriber Group falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) 51,919,109 of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Evolution. The recipients will be identified through a bookbuild process, which will involve Evolution seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) 37,802,782 of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to the Subscriber Group as follows:

  • (i) 26,461,947 Placement Shares will be issued to HK Jayson;

  • (ii) 7,560,556 Placement Shares will be issued to Hoston; and

  • (iii) 3,780,278 Placement Shares will be issued to Longmarch;

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (d) the maximum number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued is 89,721,891. The Tranche 2 Placement 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;

  • (e) the Tranche 2 Placement 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 Listing Rules) and it is intended

13

3016-01/2985560_4

that issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (f) the issue price of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be $0.11 per Tranche 2 Placement Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply towards the purposes set out in Section 1.1;

  • (h) 37,802,782 Tranche 2 Placement Shares are being issued to the Subscriber Group under the Subscription Agreements. A summary of the material terms of the Subscription Agreements is set out in Section 1.2 above. The balance of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (i) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

3.4 Dilution

Assuming no Options are exercised, no convertible securities are converted or other Shares issued and the maximum number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares are issued, the number of Shares on issue would increase from 657,072,371 (being the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 746,794,262 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 12%.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE BROKER OPTIONS

4.1 General

The Company has entered into an agreement to issue up to 6,250,000 Options in part consideration for lead manager services provided by Evolution in relation to the Placement ( Broker Options ). As noted at Section 1.3 above, the Broker Options on funds raised from the cornerstone investors introduced by Longmarch will be issued to Longmarch (or its nominees)).

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 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 proposed issue of the Broker Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options. In addition, the issue of the Broker Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options.

14

3016-01/2985560_4

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) the Broker Options will be issued to Evolution (or its nominees) and to Longmarch (or its nominees) (for funds raised from the cornerstone investors introduced by Longmarch);

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients, other than Longmarch, will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) the maximum number of Broker Options to be issued is 6,250,000. The terms and conditions of the Broker Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (d) the Broker Options 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 Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Broker Options will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the Broker Options will be issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for lead manager services provided by Evolution;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Broker Options is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Lead Manager Mandate;

  • (g) the Broker Options are being issued to Evolution (or its nominees) under the Lead Manager Mandate. A summary of the material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate is set out in Section 1.3; and

  • (h) the Broker Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

5. RESOLUTIONS 5 – 8 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES

5.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1, Directors Peter Wall, Graeme Robertson, Paul McKenzie and Valentine Chitalu wish to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Placement ( Participation ).

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue:

  • (a) pursuant to Resolution 5, 4,545,455 Placement Shares with a value of $500,000 to Mr Peter Wall (or his nominees);

  • (b) pursuant to Resolution 6, 909,091 Placement Shares with a value of $100,000 to Mr Graeme Robertson (or his nominees);

15

3016-01/2985560_4

  • (c) pursuant to Resolution 7, 454,545 Placement Shares with a value of $50,000 to Mr Paul McKenzie (or his nominees); and

  • (d) pursuant to Resolution 8, 227,273 Placement Shares with a value of $25,000 to Mr Valentine Chitalu (or his nominees),

(together, the Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

5.2 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 Participation will result in the issue of Shares and Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Placement Shares will be issued to the Directors (or their nominees) on the same terms as the Placement 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.

5.3 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:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 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;

  • 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 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,

unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.

16

3016-01/2985560_4

The Participation 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.

Resolutions 5 – 8 seek Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 5 – 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares 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) and will raise additional funds which will be applied towards for working capital to support the Company’s ongoing expansion and for general corporate purposes. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Placement Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Placement Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 5 – 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares under the Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.

5.5

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 – 8:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Messrs Wall, Robertson, McKenzie and Chitalu (or their nominees), who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Messrs Wall, Robertson, McKenzie and Chitalu are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the Related Parties have indicated that the Shares may be issued to their nominees, which will include control entities, superannuation funds or entities controlled by their parents (all of whom are related parties for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act);

  • (c) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to the Related Parties (or their nominees) is 6,136,364 in the proportions set out in Section 5.1;

  • (d) 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;

  • (e) 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 Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on the same date;

  • (f) the issue price will be $0.11 per Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued to other participants in the Placement. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of Shares under the Participation is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1.1 above;

17

3016-01/2985560_4

  • (h) the Shares to be issued under the Participation are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Related Parties;

  • (i) the Shares are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (j) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 5 – 8 of the Notice.

6. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE ADVISER SHARES

6.1 General

The Company proposes to issue 3,750,000 Shares in full consideration for marketing services provided by S3 Consortium Pty Ltd (ACN 135 239 968) ( S3 Consortium ) (or its nominees) ( Adviser Shares ).

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 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 proposed issue of the Adviser Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Adviser Shares. In addition, the issue of the Adviser Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Adviser Shares. If the Company is unable to issue the Adviser Shares, the Company will have to pay S3 Consortium in cash, depleting the Company’s cash reserves.

Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Adviser Shares.

6.3

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 9:

  • (a) the Adviser Shares will be issued to S3 Consortium (or its nominees);

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

18

3016-01/2985560_4

  • (c) the maximum number of Adviser Shares to be issued is 3,750,000. The Adviser 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;

  • (d) 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 Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Adviser Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the Adviser Shares will be issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for marketing services provided by S3 Consortium;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Adviser Shares is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the marketing services agreement with S3 Consortium;

  • (g) the Adviser Shares are being issued pursuant to a digital marketing services agreement with S3 Consortium in satisfaction of fees in the amount of $375,000 (plus GST). These fees are payable against digital marketing services to be supplied by S3 Consortium to the Company over a period of up to 24 months; and

  • (h) the Adviser Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

7. RESOLUTION 10 – INCREASE IN TOTAL AGGREGATE REMUNERATION FOR NONEXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

7.1 General

Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.

Directors’ fees include all fees payable by the entity or any of its child entities to a non-executive director for acting as a director of the entity or any of its child entities (including attending and participating in any board committee meetings), superannuation contributions for the benefit of a non-executive director and any fees which a non-executive director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees paid in accordance with an entity’s constitution, or securities issued to a non-executive director under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities.

Clauses 14.7 and 14.8 of the Constitution also provide that total aggregate remuneration payable to the non-executive Directors will not exceed the sum initially set by the Constitution and subsequently increased by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in a general meeting.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to the non-executive Directors is currently set at $150,000.

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of clause 14.8 of the Constitution and Listing Rule 10.17 to increase the total aggregate amount of fees payable to non-executive Directors to $300,000.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees proposed to be paid to non-executive Directors per annum has been determined after reviewing similar companies

19

3016-01/2985560_4

listed on ASX and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies.

7.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.17

If Resolution 10 is passed, the maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to the non-executive Directors will increase by $150,000 to $300,000. Whilst it is not envisaged that the maximum amount sought will be utilised immediately, the increase to maximum aggregate amount of fees payable may enable the Company to:

  • (a) fairly remunerate both existing and any new non-executive directors joining the Board;

  • (b) remunerate its non-executive Directors appropriately for the expectations placed upon them both by the Company and the regulatory environment in which it operates; and

  • (c) have the ability to attract and retain non-executive directors whose skills and qualifications are appropriate for a company of the size and nature of the Company.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, the maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to non-executive Directors will remain at $150,000. This may inhibit the ability of the Company to remunerate, attract and retain appropriately skilled nonexecutive directors.

In the past 3 years, the Company has issued an aggregate of 11,483,333 Shares, 32,750,000 Options and 4,500,000 Performance Rights to non-executive Directors pursuant to Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.14.

These Securities were issued to the following non-executive Directors:

  • (a) 7,583,000 Shares, 7,125,000 Options and 4,500,000 Performance Rights were issued to Peter Wall (or his nominee/s);

  • (b) 1,125,000 Shares and 4,312,500 Options were issued to Paul McKenzie (or his nominee/s);

  • (c) 2,125,000 Shares and 4,312,500 Options were issued to Graeme Robertson (or his nominee/s);

  • (d) 3,500,000 Options were issued to Dganit Baldar (or his nominee/s);

  • (e) 150,000 Shares and 4,000,000 Options were issued to Valentine Chitalu (or his nominee/s); and

  • (f) 500,000 Shares and 3,500,000 Options were issued to William Oliver (former director) (or his nominee/s); and

  • (g) 6,000,000 Options were issued to Damian Black (former director) (or his nominee/s).

7.3 Board Recommendation

Given the interest of the non-executive Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

20

3016-01/2985560_4

8. RESOLUTION 11 – REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION

8.1 General

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of shareholders.

Resolution 11 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted.

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.

The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature.

The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Statement, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website https://minbos.com/corporate-governance/ and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 9482 0511). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

8.2 Summary of material proposed changes

Minimum Shareholding (clause 3)

Clause 3 of the Constitution outlines how the Company can manage shareholdings which represent an “unmarketable parcel” of shares, being a shareholding that is less than $500 based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at the relevant time.

The Proposed Constitution is in line with the requirements for dealing with “unmarketable parcels” outlined in the Corporations Act such that where the Company elects to undertake a sale of unmarketable parcels, the Company is only required to give one notice to holders of an unmarketable parcel to elect to retain their shareholding before the unmarketable parcel can be dealt with by the Company, saving time and administrative costs incurred by otherwise having to send out additional notices.

Clause 3 of the Proposed Constitution continues to outline in detail the process that the Company must follow for dealing with unmarketable parcels.

21

3016-01/2985560_4

Technology and Virtual Meetings (clause 14)

Clause 14 of the Proposed Constitution outlines how the Company may use technology at general meetings including holding wholly virtual meetings and communicating meeting documents by means of electronic communication.
