EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
1. Introduction
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at 11.00am (AEDT) on 5 February 2026.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice. The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice.
Schedule 1 contains defined terms that apply throughout this document.
2. Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares
2.1 Background
On 13 November 2025 the Company announced a proposed issue of 36,363,636 Shares at an issue price of 2.75 cents each to raise $1,000,000 and, subject to Shareholder approval, 18,181,818 free-attaching Options, with an exercise price of 2.75 cents expiring 31 March 2026, to Australian Wealth Advisors Group Ltd, who are strategic unrelated professional and sophisticated investors supportive of the Company and its strategy for growth ( Placement ).
The Shares were issued on 14 November 2025 within the Company’s 10% share capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. By issuing those Shares, the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval within that limit was accordingly reduced.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue of the Shares. Resolution 2 seeks approval for the issue the free attaching Options.
Shareholders’ attention is drawn to the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1A and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities in any 12 month period other than the amount which is equal to 10% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the start of that 12 month period ( 10% share issue capacity ). Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of those Listing Rules if shareholders subsequently ratify it and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A.
Without Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, the issue will be counted towards the Company's 10% share issue capacity and will therefore reduce the Company's capacity to issue securities in the future without obtaining Shareholder approval.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval to under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, allowing the Company to substantially refresh its 10% share issue capacity.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule
5
7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
2.3 Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.5
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5 the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
-
(a) The placees were entities and nominees of Australian Wealth Advisors Group Ltd and its subsidiary Armytage Private who are supportive of the Company’s business plans and strategy. None of the placees are a related party of the Company; a member of the Company’s key management personnel; a substantial holder in the Company; an adviser to the Company; or an associate of any thereof.
-
(b) A total of 36,363,636 Shares were issued.

3. Resolution 2 – Approval for issue of Options
3.1 Background
Details of the Placement are set out in section 2.1.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification of, and approval for, the previous issue of the Shares under the Placement (within the existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A). Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the free attaching Options under the Placement, being one free attaching Option for every two Shares issued.
Shareholders’ attention is drawn to the voting exclusion statements in the Notice.
3.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities in any 12 month period other than the amount which is equal to 15% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the start of that 12 month period ( 15% share issue capacity ). Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 will be treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of those Listing Rules if shareholders subsequently ratify it and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
At the time the Placement was announced, the Company had no additional 15% share issue capacity to issue the Options.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 to allow the Company to issue the free attaching Options in the Placement.
