Nanollose Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

NANOLLOSE LIMITED ACN 601 676 377

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO PLACEMENT AND RELATED RESOLUTIONS (RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 5)

In accordance with the Company's ASX announcement of 19 April and Appendix 3B dated 23 April 2021, the Company intends to place a total of 29,537,273 Shares at 10 cents per Share in 2 tranches (Placement Shares) to raise $2,953,727 before costs. The placees of the Placement Shares will be issued with 1 free attaching Option (Placement Option) for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed for. The Placement Options will have an exercise price of 15 cents and an expiry date of 3 years from the date of their issue. The Placement Shares and the Placement Options together constitute the Placement.

The first tranche of the Placement Shares have been issued to institutional investors who are unrelated parties utilising the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 capacity (16,642,364 Shares and for which ratification is sought under Resolution 1) and the Company's Listing Rule 7.1A capacity (11,894,909 Shares and for which ratification is sought under Resolution 2). Listing Rule 7.1 approval is being sought by Resolution 3 to issue the second tranche of the Placement to institutional investors who are unrelated parties. Listing Rule 7.1 approval is being sought by Resolution 4 to issue the Placement Options to the placees of the Placement Shares.

Peak Asset Management Pty Ltd acted as sole lead manager to the Placement. It will receive a fee of 6% of the moneys raised by the Placement and, subject to shareholder approval, will be issued with 7,500,000 Options (see Resolution 5). These Broker Options are on the same terms as the Placement Options.

The funds from the Placement are intended to be used to expedite the development and commercialisation of the Company's Nullarbor lyocell fibre and for general working capital.

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

2.1 Background

As referred to in Section 1 above, Resolutions 1 and 2 are seeking to ratify the issue of the first tranche of the Placement Shares.

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 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%.

Nanollose Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 7

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. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes and obtained approval at its 2020 annual general meeting to the additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company is therefore able to issue equity securities up to a combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval within the limits provided.

The Company undertook the issue of the first tranche of Placement Shares by relying on its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and part of its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A as the issue did not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1.

16,642,364 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 capacity and are the subject of Resolution 1. 11,894,909 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's Listing Rule 7.1A capacity, which capacity was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 20 November 2020. These Placement Shares are the subject of Resolution 2.

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 or Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be) 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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A.

To this end, Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the first tranche of the Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the 16,642,364 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the 16,642,364 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the 11,894,909 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A until 19 November 2021.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the 11,894,909 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A until 19 November 2021.

2.2 Listing Rule 7.5

For Shareholders to approve the issue of the first tranche of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5:

3.1 Background

As referred to in section 1 above, Resolution 3 is seeking approval to the issue of the second tranche of the Placement Shares.

The issue of the second tranche of the Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

SCHEDULE 1

Terms of Placement Options and Broker Options (Resolutions 4 and 5)

The terms of the issue of each of the Options are:

  1. Each Option entitles the holder to one Share in the capital of the Company.

  2. The Options may be exercised at any time prior to 5:00pm WST on the date 3 years from the date of issue of the Options (Expiry Date).

  3. The exercise price of the Options is 15 cents each.

  4. Application will be made for the Options to be quoted on ASX and the Options will be freely tradeable under Australian law.

  5. The Company will provide to each Option holder a notice that is to be competed when exercising the Options (Notice of Exercise). Options may be exercised by the Option holder in whole or in part by completing the Notice of Exercise and forwarding the same to the Secretary of the Company to be received prior to the Expiry Date. The Notice of Exercise must, among other things, state the number of Options exercised, the consequent number of Shares to be issued and the identity of the proposed allottee. The Notice of Exercise by an Option holder must be accompanied by payment in full for the relevant number of Shares being subscribed (Exercise Monies), being an amount of the exercise price per Share. The Options held by each Option holder may be exercised in whole or in part, and if exercised in part, multiples of 10,000 must be exercised on each occasion. Where less than 10,000 Options are held, all Options must be exercised together.

  6. Within 5 Business Days of receipt of a valid Notice of Exercise accompanied by the relevant Exercise Monies, the Company will allot the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise.

  7. All Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s then issued Shares. The Company will apply to the ASX in accordance with the Listing Rules for all Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options to be admitted to quotation.

  8. There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and the holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues or pro-rata issues of capital to Shareholders during the term of the Options. Thereby, the Option holder has no rights to a change in the exercise price of the Option or a change to the number of underlying securities over which the Option can be exercised (except for a bonus issue). The Company will ensure, for the purposes of determining entitlements to any issue, that Option holder will be notified of a proposed issue after the issue is announced. This will give Option holders the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in such issues.

  9. If there is a bonus issue (Bonus Issue) to Shareholders, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue (Bonus Shares). The Bonus Shares must be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in the Bonus Issue, and upon issue will rank equally in all respects with the other Shares on issue as at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.

  10. In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, all rights of the Option holder shall be reconstructed (as appropriate) in accordance with the Listing Rules.
