5. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

Subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2019 annual general meeting. If at least 25% of the votes cast on this Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at this Meeting, and at the Company's 2021 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's 2021 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2021 Directors' Report was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting, but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting, those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

Given the material personal interests of all Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding Resolution 1.

The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to provide the Company the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 8.1(a) below). The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 8.1(b) below).

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

The Board believes that this Resolution is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

(a) What Equity Securities can be issued?

The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue being:

  • (i) 37,690,275 fully paid ordinary Shares.

In addition, the Company has on issue:

  • (ii) 1,500,000 unquoted Options expiring 31 January 2022 and exercisable at $0.25;

  • (iii) 1,250,000 unquoted Options expiring 31 January 2022 and exercisable at $0.30; and

  • (iv) 1,250,000 unquoted Options expiring 31 January 2022 and exercisable at $0.35,

Page 17

( Unquoted Options ).

(b) How many Equity Securities can be issued?

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Facility, the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include any issue of Shares under the Company's 15% annual placement capacity without Shareholder approval; and

  • (iv) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that "A" has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

D is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(c)

What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?

The Company's ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

(d)

At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,

( Minimum Issue Price ).

Page 18

(e) When can Equity Securities be issued?

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of Meeting and will expire on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting; or

  • (ii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

(f)

What is the effect of this Resolution?

The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

8.2

Technical Information Required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:

(a) Minimum Issue Price

The Minimum Issue Price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

If the Company issues Equity Securities for non-cash consideration under the 10% Placement Facility, then, in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market that demonstrates that the issue price of the Equity Securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

(b)

Date of Issue

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period.

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid if Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.

(c)

Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

Page 19

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares).

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Facility.

* The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 7 October 2020.

  2. The current issue price set out above is the last price at which Shares were traded prior to 8 October 2020 (being $0.325).

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

  4. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares (it does not include Partly Paid Shares or Quotes Options even though those securities may be issued

Page 20

under the 10% Placement Facility). It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  1. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  2. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

(d)

Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Facility

The Company may decide to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for cash consideration to raise funds for the purpose of advancing any of its projects and working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon any issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

(e)

Allocation under the 10% Placement Facility

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Facility, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Page 21

(f) Previous Approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its previous annual general meeting on 29 November 2019. In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has not issued Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

8.3 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.
