If more than one joint holder of shares participates in the Meeting (whether personally, by proxy or by attorney or representative) and tenders a vote, only the vote of the joint holder whose name appears first on the register will be counted.

Given the Meeting is an in-person meeting only at the address indicated, Shareholders are encouraged to physically attend the Meeting or if you are unable to attend, to return a Proxy Form in accordance with the instructions set out below

2.2 Proxies

  • (a) Voting by proxy

Shareholders are encouraged to vote by completing a Proxy Form. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. Lodgement instructions (which include the ability to lodge proxies electronically) are set out in the Proxy Form to the Notice and in section 2.2(d).

Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

Please note that:

  • (ii) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • (b) Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • (i) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed);

  • (ii) if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;

  • (iii) if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • (iv) if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

  • (c) Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • (i) an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members;

page 7

  • (ii) the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting;

  • (iii) at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • (iv) either the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting or the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

If you wish to vote by proxy, your Proxy Form must be received by the Company no later than 11am (AEDT) on 26 November 2023, by one of following methods:

Byemail: [email protected]

2.3

Chair's voting intentions

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on any of the Resolutions by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

2.4

Power of Attorney

If you are a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote, you may appoint an attorney to act on your behalf at the Meeting. Your appointment must be made by a duly executed power of attorney. The power of attorney (or a certified copy of it) must be received by the Company no later than 11am (AEDT) on 26 November 2023, being 48 hours before the Meeting.

2.5

Corporate Representatives

A body corporate which is a Shareholder, or which has been appointed as a proxy, is entitled to appoint any person to act as its representative at the Meeting. The appointment of the representative must comply with the requirements under section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should deliver to the Company prior to the Meeting, a properly executed letter or other document confirming its authority to act as the company’s representative.

3

Annual Report

In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report, including the Financial Report, the Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report which is available online at https://aquna.com;

  • (b) ask questions about, or comment on, the management of the Company; and

  • (c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report.

page 8

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chair about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:

  • (b) the conduct of the audit;

  • (c) accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted no later than five business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

4 Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must submit the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 for adoption by resolution of Shareholders at the Meeting. 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. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the Managing director (if any).

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general 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.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2022 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2024 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

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 this Resolution.

5 Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Martin Priestley

5.1

General

Article 10.3(c) of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must retire at each annual general meeting (or if that is not a whole number, the whole number nearest to one third, rounded down). Article 10.3(e) of the Constitution requires that the Directors to retire are those who have held their office as Director for the longest period since their last election or appointment to that office.

page 9

Article 10.3(f) of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires in accordance with Article 10.3(c) is eligible for re-election.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has three Directors whom are subject to these director rotation requirements and accordingly, one Director must retire.

The Chair of the Company, Mr Martin Priestley, was last elected at the annual general meeting held on 18 December 2020 and has held office the longest since being last elected. Accordingly, Mr Priestley by rotation at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election pursuant to Resolution 2.

If elected, Mr Priestley is considered to be an independent and non-executive Director..

5.2 Mr Martin Priestley

Mr Priestley has extensive capital markets experience. He began his career with NatWest Bank in the UK, specialising in mining and project finance with responsibility for assets in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia. In 2001, Mr Priestley was appointed CEO and managing director of Ashe Morgan Winthrop, an independent corporate advisory and capital raising firm. He went on to run Bamford Partners, which merged with Moss Capital in 2012, before joining CBRE as a senior director in 2014. He currently sits on several boards.

5.3

Board recommendation

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Priestley) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 as Mr Priestley has made and continues to make a significant and valuable contribution to the Company. The Board (other than Mr Priestley) believes that the qualifications, skill set and experience of Mr Priestley will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role and deliver outcomes for shareholders.

6 Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1

General

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 period (subject to a number of exceptions).

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% ( 10% Placement Facility ).

Resolution 3 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 6.2(e) 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 6.2(c) below).

6.2

Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Is the Company an eligible entity?

An 'eligible entity' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

page 10

The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $114.8 million, based on the closing price of Shares $0.15 on 24 October 2023.

(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the eligible entity.

As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities; Shares.

  • (c) 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:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months:

    • (1) under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exception 9, 16 or 17);

    • (2) on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

      • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the 12 month period; or

      • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

    • (3) under an agreement to issue securities within Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

      • the agreement was entered into before the 12 month period; or

      • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to be approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4; and

    • (4) with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include any issue of Shares under the Company's 15% annual placement capacity without Shareholder approval;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months; and

  • (C) 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.

page 11

  • 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 7.4.

  • (d) At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?

  • Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per security which is 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 by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,

( Minimum Issue Price ).

  • (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;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) 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 Resolution 3?

The effect of passing Resolution 3 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.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder Approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company will therefore remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:

(a) Final date for issue

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(e) above).

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid if Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature of scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

page 12

(b) Minimum issue price

Where the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, it will only do so for cash consideration and the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price (refer to Section 6.2(d) above).

(c) Purposes of issues under 10% Placement Facility

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the purposes of raising funds for continued investment in the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition) and/or for general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3 upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

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 date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,

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

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

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 6.2(c)) as at the date of the Notice ( Variable A ), with:

  • (i) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

  • (b) Variable A comprises 765,753,388 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4

  • (c) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;

  • (d) no convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities; and

  • (e) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Quoted Options, it is assumed that those Quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • 2 The number of Shares on issue (ie Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.

  • 3 The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • 4 The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • 5 The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

page 14

(e) Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

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

  • (iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

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

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new investors who are not related parties of or associates of a related party of the Company.

  • (f) Issues in the past 12 months

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 29 November 2022.

The Company did not issue any securities under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting.

  • (g) Voting exclusion statement

At the date of the Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in any such issue.

However, in the event that between the date of the Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.

6.4 Board recommendation

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7 Resolution 4 – Approval to issue securities under the Scheme

7.1

General

Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue a maximum of 15% of its capital in any 12-month period without requiring Shareholder approval. Listing Rule 7.2 allows certain issues of securities to be excluded from the calculation of the number of securities issued in the 12-month period under Listing Rule 7.1, including under Exception 13 of Listing Rule 7.2 where an issue is made under an employee incentive plan if, within three years before the date of issue, the issue of securities under the employee incentive plan is approved by the company's shareholders.

page 15

Shareholders last approved the issue of Securities under the Scheme at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 December 2020. Under the Listing Rules, a refreshed approval by Shareholders is required every three years for the purposes of Exception 13 (or earlier if there is a material change to the terms of the Scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting under which approval was last sought and obtained).

Therefore, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholders' approval for the issue of Securities under the Scheme in accordance with Exception 13 of Listing Rule 7.2. If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Scheme to eligible participants over a period of three years up to a nominated maximum amount without such Securities counting towards the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 4 is not passed, any Securities issued to eligible participants under the Scheme will count towards the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

7.2 Specific information required by Exception 13 of Listing Rule 7.2

Pursuant to and in accordance with Exception 13 of Listing Rule 7.2, the following information is provided in relation to the Scheme:

  • (a) a summary of the terms of the Scheme is set out in Schedule 3 below;

  • (b) since the Shareholders last approved the issue of Securities under the Scheme for the purposes of Exception 13 of Listing Rule 7.2 on 18 December 2020, the Company has issued the following Securities under the Scheme;

  • (d) a voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 4 is included in this Notice.

7.3 Additional information

The maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of Securities to be issued under the Scheme, but is specified for the purposes of setting a ceiling on the number of Securities approved to be issued under and for the purposes of Exception 13 of Listing Rule 7.2. If that number is reached, fresh Shareholder approval under Exception 13 of Listing Rule 7.2 would be required, otherwise any additional issues of Securities under the Scheme over the maximum will count towards the calculation of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Directors decline to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 4 due to their personal interest in the outcome.

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

8 Resolution 5 - Approval of potential termination benefits under the Scheme

8.1

General

The Corporations Act contains certain limitations concerning the payment of 'termination benefits' to persons who hold a 'managerial or executive office'. The Listing Rules also provide certain limitations on the payment of 'termination benefits' to officers of listed entities.

As is common with employee incentive schemes, the Scheme provides the Board with the discretion to, among other things, determine that some or all of the Securities granted to a participant under the Scheme will not lapse in the event of that participant ceasing their engagement with the Company before such Securities have vested. This 'accelerated vesting' of Securities may constitute a 'termination benefit' prohibited under the Corporations Act, regardless of the value of such benefit, unless Shareholder approval is obtained.

Accordingly, the Board has resolved to seek Shareholder approval for the granting of such termination benefits in accordance with Resolution 5.

page 17

8.2 Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act

Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a 'managerial or executive office' (as defined in the Corporations Act) if a statutory exemption applies or if the benefit is approved by shareholders in accordance with section 200E of the Corporations Act.

Shareholder approval is therefore sought for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act to approve the giving of benefits under the Scheme to a person by the Company in connection with that person ceasing to be an officer of, or ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) on the terms and conditions in this Explanatory Memorandum. The approval, if obtained, is intended to facilitate the Board's discretion to determine termination benefits (if any) that may be awarded and, does not in of itself, guarantee that any person will receive such termination benefits.

Under the terms of the Scheme, where a participant who holds 'convertible securities' (i.e., Options or performance rights) ceases to be an eligible participant, all unvested convertible securities will automatically be forfeited by the participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the convertible securities to vest. As a result of this discretion, the Board has the power to determine that some or all of a participant's convertible securities will vest in the event of the participant ceasing employment or office prior to that participant having achieved the relevant milestones required for their convertible securities to vest. The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a 'benefit' for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act (and Listing Rule 10.19). The Board's current intention is to only exercise this discretion where the person ceases employment or office without fault on their part .

8.3 Value of the termination benefits

Provided Shareholder approval is given, the value of the termination benefits may be disregarded when applying section 200F(2)(b) or section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (i.e. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).

The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the Scheme cannot be presently ascertained. This is because various matters, events and circumstances will, or are likely to, affect the value of the termination benefits, including:

  • (a) the date when, and the circumstances in which, the participant ceases employment;

  • (b) the number of unvested convertible securities held by the participant prior to cessation of employment;

  • (c) the number of unvested convertible securities that the Board has determined will vest (which could be all of the unvested convertible securities held by that participant); and

  • (d) the market price of Shares on the date of accelerated vesting.

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.19, the Company will ensure that no officer of the Company (or any of its child entities) will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that are or may be payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.

8.4 Additional information

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

page 18

The Directors decline to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 5 due to their personal interest in the outcome.

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

9 Resolution 6 - Amendment of Constitution

9.1 General

Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal and replace its constitution, or a provision of its constitution, by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders to modify the Company's existing Constitution.

A copy of the amended constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the amended constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the existing Constitution will be modified with effect from the close of the Meeting.

9.2 Summary of proposed modification to Constitution

(a) Background

The Treasury Laws Amendment (Cost of Living Support and Other Measures) Act 2022 (Cth) introduced a new Division 1A into Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act in relation to employee share schemes ( New ESS Rules ). The legislation, which took effect on 1 October 2022, provides regulatory relief that was previously largely available under ASIC Class Order [CO 14/1000] ( Class Order ).

The New ESS Rules differentiate between disclosure requirements that apply to ESS offers for no monetary consideration and ESS offers for monetary consideration. An offer under an ESS which requires monetary consideration from the offeree (i.e., where ESS interests are offered in return for monetary consideration, or where the ESS interests are options or incentive rights and monetary consideration is to be provided on the exercise of the options or rights) can only be eligible for regulatory relief under the New ESS Rules if it complies with an 'issue cap'. The issue cap is the maximum percentage of a company's share capital that it is permitted to issue over a three year period under the ESS. Under the Class Order, the maximum number of ESS interests that can be issued over a three year period is 5% of the listed entity's issued share capital. However, under the New ESS Rules:

  • (i) there is no cap on ESS interests issued for no monetary consideration; and

  • (ii) the issue cap for ESS interests issued for monetary consideration may be either:

  • (A) the percentage specified in the company's constitution, or

  • (B) if no percentage is specified in the company's constitution, 5%.

The New ESS Rules allow the Company to increase the percentage of ESS interests that it is permitted to offer for issues made for monetary consideration.

Accordingly, for the purposes of section 1100V of Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, the Company is proposing to amend its Constitution by inserting Article 18, which provides for an increase in the Company issue cap percentage for ESS offers involving monetary consideration to 10% of shares on issue, rather than the default 5%.

page 19

(b) Proposed amendment

The Company has prepared an updated constitution which inserts the following provisions at Article 18:

  • " 18 Issue cap for offers involving monetary consideration under an employee incentive scheme

  • (a) For the purposes of this Article 18, the following terms have the following meanings:

  • (i) 'Employee Share Scheme' has the meaning given in section 1100L(1) of the Corporations Act; and

  • (ii) 'ESS interest' has the meaning given in section 1100M of the Corporations Act.

  • (b) For the purposes of section 1100V(2)(a) of the Corporations Act, the Company may only make an offer of ESS Interests if, at the time the offer is made, the Company reasonably believes that:

  • (i) the total number of Shares that are, or are covered by, the ESS Interests of the Company that may be issued under the offer; and

  • (ii) the total number of Shares that are, or are covered by, the ESS Interests that have been issued, or could have been issued, under offers made in connection with the Company’s Employee Share Scheme at any time during the 3 year period ending on the day the offer is made,

does not exceed 10% of the number of Shares actually on issue as at the start of the day the offer is made."

  • (c) Implications

If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders, the Constitution will be amended such that the Company will be able to issue an additional 5% of the number of Shares actually on issue during a 3 year period under the ESS in reliance on the New ESS Rules. That is, an offer of ESS interests that is within the new 10% issue limit, and that is otherwise compliant with the requirements of the New ESS Rules, will benefit from the regulatory relief provided by the New ESS Rules.

The regulatory relief provided by the New ESS Rules consists of exemptions from certain requirements of the Corporations Act, including:

  • (a) the disclosure requirements for the issue, sale and transfer of securities (Parts 6D.2 and 6D.3 of the Corporations Act) and financial products (Part 7.9 of the Corporations Act);

  • (b) the restrictions on advertising of offers for the issue, sale and transfer of securities (section 734 of the Corporations Act) or financial products (section 1018A of the Corporations Act); and

  • (c) the requirement to hold an Australian financial services licence for a financial service provided in relation to the ESS (section 911A of the Corporations Act).

If Resolution 6 is not approved by Shareholders, the Company will still be able to issue up to 5% of the number of Shares actually on issue during a 3 year period under the ESS in reliance on the New ESS Rules.

page 20

9.3 Board recommendation

Resolution 6 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

10 Resolution 7 – Renewal of proportional takeover provisions

Section 648G(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company's proportional takeover provisions will cease to have effect at the end of three years from the date of adoption (or renewal, as the case may be).

The proportional takeover provisions in the Company's Constitution were last approved and adopted by the Shareholders at the Company's on 16 December 2016. Accordingly, the Company wishes to renew the proportional takeover provisions in its Constitution by re-adopting them under this Resolution 7.

10.1 Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act for the renewal of proportional takeover provisions

(a) What is a proportional takeover bid?

A proportional off-market takeover bid ( PT Bid ) is a takeover offer sent to all Shareholders but only for a specified portion of each Shareholder's Securities. Accordingly, if a Shareholder accepts in full the offer under a PT Bid, it will dispose of the specified portion of its securities in the Company and retain the balance of the Securities.

(b) Effect of renewal

If the proportional takeover provisions in clause 8.5(d) and Schedule 4 of the Company's Constitution are renewed, a PT Bid that is made to Shareholders of the Company, will require the board of the Company to convene a meeting of Shareholders to vote on a resolution to approve the proportional takeover. That meeting must be held at least 15 days before the offer under the PT Bid closes.

The resolution is taken to have been passed if a majority of Securities voted at the meeting, excluding the Securities of the bidder and its associates, vote in favour of the resolution. If no resolution is voted on at least 15 days before the close of the PT Bid, the resolution is deemed to have been passed. Where the resolution approving the PT Bid is passed or deemed to have been passed, transfers of Securities resulting from accepting the PT Bid are registered provided they otherwise comply with the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Operating Rules and the Company's Constitution. If the resolution is rejected, then under the Corporations Act the PT Bid is deemed to be withdrawn.

The Directors consider that Shareholders should have the opportunity to re-insert the proportional takeover provisions. Without the proportional takeover provisions applying, a PT Bid for the Company may enable effective control of the Company to be acquired without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their Securities to the bidder. Shareholders could be at risk of passing control to the bidder without payment of an adequate control premium for all their Securities whilst leaving themselves as part of a minority interest in the Company.

Without the proportional takeover provisions, if there was a PT Bid and Shareholders considered that control of the Company was likely to pass, Shareholders would be placed

page 21

under pressure to accept the PT Bid even if they did not want control of the Company to pass to the bidder. Re-inserting the proportional takeover provisions will make this situation less likely by permitting Shareholders to decide whether a PT Bid should be permitted to proceed.

(c) No knowledge of present acquisition proposals

As at the date of this notice, no Director is aware of a proposal by any person to acquire or increase the extent of a substantial interest in the Company.

(d) Potential advantages and disadvantages

The renewal of the proportional takeover provisions will enable the Directors to formally ascertain the views of Shareholders about a PT Bid. Without these provisions, the Directors are dependent upon their perception of the interests and views of Shareholders. Other than this advantage, the Directors consider that re-insertion of the proportional takeover provisions has no potential advantages or potential disadvantages for them, as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a PT Bid should be accepted.

The Directors consider that re-adopting the proportional takeover provisions benefits all Shareholders in that they will have an opportunity to consider a PT Bid and then attend or be represented by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders called specifically to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, Shareholders are able to prevent a PT Bid proceeding if there is sufficient support for the proposition that control of the Company should not be permitted to pass under the PT Bid. Furthermore, knowing the view of Shareholders assists each individual Shareholder to assess the likely outcome of the PT Bid and whether to accept or reject that bid.

As to the possible disadvantages to Shareholders re-adopting the proportional takeover provisions, potentially, the proposal makes a PT Bid more difficult and PT Bids will therefore be discouraged. This may reduce the opportunities which Shareholders may have to sell all or some of their Securities at a premium to persons seeking control of the Company and may reduce any takeover speculation element in the Company's Share price. The proportional takeover provisions may also be considered an additional restriction on the ability of individual Shareholders to deal freely on their Securities.

The Directors consider that there are no other advantages or disadvantages for Directors or Shareholders which arose during the period during which the proportional takeover provisions were in effect, other than those discussed in this Section.

On balance, the Directors consider that the possible advantages outweigh the possible disadvantages so that the re-adoption of the proportional takeover provisions is in the interest of Shareholders.

10.2 Board recommendation

Resolution 7 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders eligible to vote. Votes may be case in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

11 Resolutions 8(a) to 8(d) - Issue of Incentive Options to Directors

11.1 General

The resolutions comprising Resolution 8 seek Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14 for the grant of a total of 14,000,000 Options ( Incentive Options ) comprising

page 22

5,000,000 each to Mr Ross Anderson (Executive Chairman of the Company) and Mr Mathew Ryan (Managing Director), and 2,000,00 to Mr Martin Priestley and Mr George Commins (NonExecutive Directors), or their respective nominees.

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) a director of the entity (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • (b) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • (a) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its Shareholders (Listing Rule 10.14.3),

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The proposed issue of the Incentive Options falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (or Listing Rule 10.14.2 if a Director elects for the Incentive Options to be granted to his nominee) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

The resolutions comprising Resolution 8 seek the required Shareholder approval for the proposed issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14. As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10.11 is not required.

If the resolutions comprising Resolution 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Incentive Options to the Directors (or their respective nominees) in the proportions listed above in Section 11.

If the resolutions comprising Resolution 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to the Directors (or their respective nominees) and the Company will consider other forms of remuneration, including by the payment of cash, subject to the requirements of the Constitution, Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

The Incentive Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, exercisable at $0.335 and expiring five years from the grant date. The full terms and conditions of the Incentive Options are set out in Schedule 1.

11.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Incentive Options:

  • (a) the Incentive Options will be issued under the Scheme to Messrs Anderson, Ryan, Priestley and Commins (or their respective nominees), each of whom is a Director.

  • (b) the Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors and fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1. If the Directors elects for the Incentive Options to be granted to their nominees, Listing Rule 10.14.2 will apply.

  • (c) The maximum number of Incentive Options to be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) is 14,000,000, in the proportions as detailed in Section 11.1 above.

  • (d) the current total remuneration package for each of the Directors as at the date of this Notice is set out below:

  • (f) The Incentive Options will be exercisable at $0.335 and will expire five years after the date of issue and otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 1.

  • (g) The Board considers that Incentive Options, rather than Shares, are an appropriate form of incentive because the Incentive Options granted will generally only be of benefit if the Directors performs to the level whereby the value of the Company increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options. The issue of the Incentive Options will therefore further align the interests of the Directors with Shareholders. If all Incentive Options are exercised, it would also result in a cash injection to the Company of $4,690,000 (assuming no cashless-exercise facility is utilised).

  • (h) A valuation of the Incentive Options is in Schedule 2, with a summary for each Director below:

Director Value of Incentive Options
Ross Anderson $383,500
Mathew Ryan $383,500
Martin Priestley $153,400
George Commins $153,400
TOTAL $1,073,800
  • (i) The Incentive Options will be issued as soon as practicable following the receipt of approval at the Meeting, and in any event, no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • (j) The Incentive Options will have an issue price of nil as they will be issued as part of each Director's remuneration package.

  • (k)

  • A summary of the material terms of the Scheme is in Schedule 3.

  • (l) No loan will be provided to the Directors in relation to the issue of the Incentive Options.

  • (m) Details of any Securities issued under the Scheme will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Securities under the Scheme after the Resolutions comprising Resolution 8are approved and who

page 25

were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (n) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

11.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 grant of the Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Directors are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Board has resolved that the issue of the Incentive Options constitutes 'reasonable remuneration' in the circumstances, and therefore falls within the scope of the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act, having sought advice from an independent remuneration consultant.

11.4 Board recommendation

Each of the resolutions which forms part of Resolution 8 are ordinary resolutions.

Schedule 3

Summary of Scheme

The Company has established an employee incentive scheme ( Scheme ). The full terms of the Scheme may be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours.

1. Eligible Participant

Eligible Participant means a person that:

  • (a) is an "ESS participant" (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act); and

  • (b) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Scheme from time to time.

2. Purpose

The purpose of the Scheme is to:

  • (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

3.

Scheme administration

The Scheme will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Scheme rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

4.

Eligibility, invitation and application

  • (a) The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Scheme and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

  • (b) On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.

  • (c) If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

5.

Grant of Securities

The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Scheme rules and any ancillary documentation required.

page 30

6. Terms of Convertible Securities

Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Scheme.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

7. Vesting of Convertible Securities

Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

8. Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise

To exercise an Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Scheme rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Scheme rules.

9. Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities

As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Scheme rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

10. Forfeiture of Convertible Securities

Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

page 31

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Scheme rules:

  • (a) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

  • (b) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

11.

Change of control

If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event, subject to complying with the Listing Rules.

12.

Rights attaching to Scheme Shares

All Shares issued under the Scheme, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Scheme Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Scheme Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Scheme Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Scheme Shares.

13. Disposal restrictions on Scheme Shares

If the invitation provides that any Scheme Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as a Scheme Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Scheme, the Participant will not:

  • (a) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Scheme Share; or

  • (b) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

14. Adjustment of Convertible Securities

If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

page 32

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

15. Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

16. Amendment of Scheme

Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Scheme rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Scheme and determine that any amendments to the Scheme rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Scheme rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

17. Scheme duration

The Scheme continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Scheme for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Scheme is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
