E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 - RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES
1.1 General
On 21 July 2023, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $850,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) through the issue of 212,250,000 Shares at $0.004 each ( Placement Shares ), together with one free attaching Option for every 1 Placement Share subscribed under the Placement ( Placement Options ) to sophisticated and professional investors of Peak Asset Management ( Placement Participants ).
On 7 August 2023, the Company issued 146,000,000 Placement Shares to the Placement Participants whereby 146,000,000 Placement Shares were issued using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ).
66,250,000 Placement Shares have not yet been issued. It is anticipated that the 66,250,000 Placement Shares will be issued once the Company receives Shareholder under Resolution 2.
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the 66,250,000 Placement Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).
Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the 212,250,000 Placement Options ( Placement Options ).
In connection with the Placement, the Company appointed Peak Asset Management ( Peak ) to act as the lead manager of the Placement. The material terms for Peak acting as lead manager ( Lead Manager Mandate ) are that the Company will pay:
-
(a) a 2% management fee on the gross proceeds raised under the Placement payable in cash (plus GST);
-
(b) a 4% placement fee on the capital introduced in the Placement, payable in cash (plus GST); and
-
(c) subject to Shareholder approval (pursuant to Resolution 4), issue 37,500,000 Options to Peak (and or its nominee(s)) on the same terms as the Placement Options ( Broker Options ).
Resolutions 1 to 4 are ordinary resolutions and the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to 4.
1.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.2 and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.2 sets out various types of equity issues that are excluded from the operation of Listing Rule 7.1.
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.
Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
6
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares (being 7 August 2023).
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares (being 7 August 2023).
1.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5 for the Tranche 1 Placement Shares
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the prior issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:
-
(a) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 20 July 2023, whereby the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without the need for Shareholder approval;
-
(b) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued at $0.004 per Share;
-
(c) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;
-
(d) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Participants, being investors selected by the Company in consultation with the Company’s lead manager, Peak. No Placement Participants are considered to be "material investors" for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.2. More specifically the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be (other than 10 Bolivianos Pty Ltd):
-
(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;
-
-
(e) the proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be used to drive platform integration using AI for supply chain traceability and working capital purposes; and

(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES
- 2.1 General
As set out above in Section 1.1 above, as part of the Placement, the Company is proposing to issue up to 66,250,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to raise up to $265,000 to the Placement Participants ( Tranche 2 Placement ).
Subject to Shareholder approval, Directors Freddy El Turk, Raffaele Marcellino and Darren Scott will participate in the Tranche 2 Placement for:
-
(a) in respect of Freddy El Turk, 10,000,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.004 and 10,000,000 Placement Options for a participation of $40,000;

As summarised in Section 1.2 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 Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement. The Company will issue the Tranche 2 Placement at a later date when it has sufficient placement capacity to issue the Tranche 2 Placement.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement.

(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 Director Participation will result in the issue of Tranche 2 Director Placement Securities which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Freddy El Turk, Raffaele Marcellino and Darren Scott are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Director Participation because the Tranche 2 Director Placement Shares will be issued to the Directors (or their nominees) on the same terms as 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,
11
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Director 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 to 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the Director Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 5 to 7 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Director Placement Securities under the Director Participation 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 used in the manner set out in Section 1.3 above.
As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Tranche 2 Director Placement Securities in respect of the Director Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Tranche 2 Director Placement Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 5 to 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Director Placement Securities under the Director Participation and the relevant Placement funds will not be raised from the Directors.
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 to 7:
-
(a) the Tranche 2 Director Placement Securities will be issued to Freddy El Turk, Raffaele Marcellino and Darren Scott (or their nominees), who each fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as each of them is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;
-
(b) the maximum number of Placement Shares and Placement Options to be issued is:
-
(i) 10,000,000 Placement Shares and 10,000,000 Placement Options to Freddy El Turk;
-
(ii) 5,000,000 Placement Shares and 5,000,000 Placement Options to Raffaele Marcellino; and
-
(iii) 12,500,000 Placement Shares and 12,500,000 Placement Options to Darren Scott;
-
(c) the Placement Options forming part of the Tranche 2 Director Placement Securities will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 (being the same terms and conditions as the Placement Options). The Shares issued on exercise of the Placement Options 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 Tranche 2 Director Placement Securities 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 Tranche 2 Director Placement Securities under the Director Participation will be issued on the same date as the other Tranche 2 Placement Shares and the other Placement Options;
-
(e) the issue price will be $0.004 per Share and nil per Option as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a 1 for 1 basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of Shares under the Director Participation is to raise capital, to be applied towards the purposes set out in Section 1.3 above;
-
(g) the issue of the Tranche 2 Director Placement Securities under the Director Participation is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors;
12
(h) the Placement Shares and Placement Options are not being issued under an agreement; and
- (i) voting exclusion statements are included in Resolutions 5 to 7.

6.2 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 issue of the Director Securities to Freddy El Turk constitutes giving a financial benefit and Freddy El Turk is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Freddy El Turk who has a material personal interest in Resolution 8) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Securities because the agreement to issue the Director Securities, reached as part of the remuneration package for Freddy El Turk, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
6.3 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:
-
(c) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(d) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(e) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(f) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(g) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the Director Securities 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 and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 8 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Securities to Freddy El Turk (or his respective nominees) 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). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Securities (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% placement capacity.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Securities and will likely be required to renegotiate the employment contract of Freddy El Turk.
14
6.5 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 Resolution 8:

-
(e) the issue price of the Director Securities will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Director Securities;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Director Securities is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Freddy El Turk to motivate and reward their performance as a Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to Freddy El Turk, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Freddy El Turk;
-
(g) the current total remuneration package for Freddy El Turk including the issue of the Director Securities pursuant to this Resolution 8 is $275,000 per annum; and
-
(h) the Director Securities are being issued to Freddy El Turk under his Employment Agreement with the Company. A summary of the material terms of the Freddy El Turk Employment Agreement is set out in Section 6.1.
7. RESOLUTION 9 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF 2,500,000 SHARES
7.1 General
As announced by the Company on 28 December 2022, the Company issued 2,500,000 Shares utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company raised $50,000 by way of a placement to sophisticated investors at $0.02 per share.
7.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 2,500,000 Shares, which was issued on 28 December 2022 ( Issue Date ).
All of the Shares were issued by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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.
The issue of Ordinary Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
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 Listing Rule 7.1.
15
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.
To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If this Resolution is passed, the issue of Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
7.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.
-
(a) The Shares were issued to sophisticated investors.
-
(b) The Company issued 2,500,000 Shares.
-
(c) The Shares were fully paid on issue and ranked equally in all aspects with all existing fully paid ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.
-
(d) The Shares were issued on 28 December 2022.
-
(e) Each of the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.02 per Ordinary Share, which raised $50,000.
(f) Funds raised from the issue of the Shares have been and will be used by the Company for product development, marketing and working capital.
8. RESOLUTION 10 - CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Directors have determined to change the name of the Company to “NoviqTech Limited”. Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the change of name in accordance with section 157 of the Corporations Act.
Resolution 10 is a special resolution.
The change of name of the Company will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.
It is proposed the Company’s ASX Listing code will also be changed from “TYM” to “NVQ”.
