a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

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 :
-
the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie as directed); and

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; and

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.
BACKGROUND TO LISTING RULES APPLICABLE TO RESOLUTIONS
Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1, commonly referred to as the “ 15% rule ”, limits the capacity of an ASX- listed company to issue securities without the approval of its shareholders. In broad terms, that Listing Rule provides that a company may not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities equal to more than 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue in the capital of the company 12 months prior to the proposed date of issue or agreement to issue (but excluding any shares issued in reliance on the 15% rule in that 12 month period), unless the issue or agreement to issue is approved by shareholders or otherwise comes within one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1.
In the event that a resolution that is required to be approved in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.1 is so approved (each an Approved 7.1 Resolution ), the Company’s ability to issue further Equity Securities under the 15% Rule or otherwise under the terms of the Listing Rules, will not be decreased as a result of the issue of any Equity Securities pursuant to an Approved 7.1 Resolution.
In the event that a resolution that is required to be approved in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.1 is not so approved (each a Disapproved 7.1 Resolution ), the Company will during the next 12 month period and in the absence of specific Shareholder approval being granted at the relevant time, have its ability to issue further Equity Securities under the 15% Rule or otherwise under the terms of the Listing Rules, decreased by the number of Equity Securities that are the subject of a Disapproved 7.1 Resolution.
Listing Rule 7.4
A company in general meeting can ratify, by passage of an ordinary resolution, an issue of Equity Securities made in the preceding 12 months without shareholder approval in compliance with the 15% rule, so as to reverse the “depletion” of the company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval under 15% rule resulting from that previous issue.
Listing Rule 7.4, known as the “ subsequent approval ” rule, validates an issue of Equity Securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 as if it had been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if both of the following criteria are satisfied, namely:
-
(a) the issue was not made in breach of Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) the holders of ordinary securities in the company subsequently approve that issue.
In the event that a resolution that is required to be approved in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.4 is so approved (each an Approved 7.4 Resolution ), the Company’s ability to issue further Equity Securities under the 15% Rule or otherwise under the terms of the Listing Rules will not be decreased as a result of the issue of any Equity Securities pursuant to an Approved 7.4 Resolution.
In the event that a resolution that is required to be approved in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.4 is not so approved (each a Disapproved 7.4 Resolution ), the Company will during the next 12 month period and in the absence of specific Shareholder approval being granted at the relevant time, either:
-
(a) have its ability to issue further Equity Securities decreased by the number of Equity Securities that were issued pursuant to a Disapproved 7.4 Resolution; or
-
(b) continue to count those Equity Securities towards the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (or, if applicable, Listing Rule 7.1A) for the 12-month period following their issue, to the extent they were issued in reliance on that capacity. The Equity Securities will not be cancelled or otherwise affected, but the Company’s ability to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval will remain reduced by the amount used for that prior issue.

1. RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS UNDER PLACEMENT – LISTING RULE 7.1 AND 7.1A
1.1 Background
On 31 July 2025, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $1,250,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) through the issue of 34,722,222 Shares at $0.036 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 ).
1.2 General
Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 29,333,330 Placement Shares and 27,777,778 Placement Options on 8 August 2025, comprising of 5,280,704 Shares which were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under 7.1(being the subject of Resolution 1); 24,052,626 Shares which were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 2) and 27,777,778 Placement Options which were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 3).
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 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).
Resolutions 1 to 3 are ordinary resolutions and the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to 3.
1.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7,1A
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 issue of equity securities does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and the Company is therefore seeking the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
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 the 15% Listing Rule 7.1 limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 30 May 2025.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
1.4 Listing Rule 7.4
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 that rule or Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1.
7
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
1.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity
8
securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
1.6

As summarised in Section 1.3 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 4 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.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.
A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue of agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;
-
(c) 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;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.
As Mr Turk is a Director of the Company, he is a person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
To this end, Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 1,111,111 Shares and 1,111,111 Placement Options (the Shares and the Placement Options, (together the FT Securities ) to Mr Turk (or their nominee) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of FT Securities to Mr Turk (or their nominee). If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of the FT Securities to Mr Freddy El Turk..
4.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.
The proposed issue of Shares (which is a type of equity security, for the purposes of the Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.
A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public
12
company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.
The non-conflicted Directors of the Company (being Mr Darren Scott and Mr Niv Dagan) have carefully considered the proposed issue of FT Securities to Mr Turk and formed the view that the financial benefit is being provided on the same terms as the Placement. The Directors determined that the terms are fair and reasonable, and consistent with arm’s length dealings.
Accordingly, the non-conflicted Directors of the Company believed that the issue of the FT Securities to Mr Turk falls within the “arm’s length terms” exception as set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act, and relies on this exception for the purposes of this Resolution. Therefore, the proposed issue of FT Securities to Mr Turk requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.

Otherwise, the service agreements are on usual terms for an agreement of this nature.
7.2 Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.
A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue of agreement, a
16
substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;
-
(c) 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;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.
As Raffaele and Darren are Directors of the Company, both are a person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
To this end, Resolution 9 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Shares to Raffaele Marcellino under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 and Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the Shares to Darren Scott under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Shares to Raffaele Marcellino. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue and will receive his director’s fees and remuneration in cash.
If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Shares to Darren Scott. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue and will receive his director’s fees and remuneration in cash.
7.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:
-
(c) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or
-
(d) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.
The proposed issue of Shares (which is a type of equity security, for the purposes of the Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.
A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.
The non-conflicted Director of the Company (being Mr Freddy El Turk) carefully considered the issue of these Shares to Raffaele Marcellino and Darren Scott and formed the view that the giving of this financial benefit would benefit the Company in that it would reserve the Company’s cash flow.
Accordingly, the non-conflicted Director of the Company believed that the issue of these Shares to Raffaele Marcellino and Darren Scott falls within the “arm’s length terms” exception as set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act, and relies on this exception for the purposes of this Resolution. Therefore, the proposed issue of Shares to Raffaele Marcellino and Darren Scott requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.
17
7.4 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
The following information in relation to the issue of the Shares to Raffaele Marcellino and Darren Scott is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

-
(c) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is up to 1,987,219 Shares to Raffaele Marcellino and up to 1,977,787 Shares to Darren Scott;

-
(e) the Shares will be issued within 1 month of Shareholder approval being obtained by the Company (or otherwise, as determined by the ASX in the exercise of their discretion);
-
(f) the Shares will be offered for nil cash consideration;
-
(g) funds will not be raised from the issue of these Shares as the issue is proposed to be made in lieu of the director’s fees;
-
(h) the current total remuneration package received by Darren Scott is $36,000 and Raffaele Marcellino was $24,000 per annum inclusive of superannuation and any tax withholding;
-
(i) the Shares will be quoted on ASX upon issue and allotment and rank equally with the then issued shares of the Company; and
-
(j) a summary of the main terms of Raffaele Marcellino and Darren Scott’s agreement is set out in section 7.1 above.
8. RESOLUTION 11 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES UNDER FUTURE PLACEMENT
8.1 Background
The Company wishes to offer to new and existing Sophisticated and Professional Investors ( Placement Participants ) a placement of Shares at the Issue Price, to raise $2,500,000 (before costs) ( Future Placement ). Peak will act as the lead manager and broker to the Future Placement pursuant to its existing Lead Manager Mandate.
In consideration for the provision of these services, the Company has agreed to pay Peak a management fee equal to 2% of the amount raised under the Future Placement (plus GST) and a capital raising fee equal to 4% of the amount raised under the Future Placement (plus GST).
The Company intends to apply the funds raised under the Placement towards synergistic acquisitions, sales and marketing of NoviqAI and Carbon Central and general working capital purposes and to fund the costs of the Placement
8.2 Approval sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes) to permit the issue of that number of Shares equal to $2,500,000 divided by the Issue Price, to the Placement Participants.
As summarised in Resolution 1 of the Explanatory Statement above, ASX Listing Rule 7.1, subject to a number of exceptions, limits the amount of 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 12-month period.
The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and the Company has elected not to utilise any of its remaining placement capacity to issue Securities without Shareholder approval. The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue as described above. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity calculation under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
18
If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue in the manner described above. In such circumstances, the Company would need to consider alternative avenues to raise the required capital.
8.3 Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Future Placement Shares:
| Person(s) to whom the Securities will be issued |
The Placement Participants will comprise Sophisticated and Professional Investors who will be identified by Peak through a bookbuild process, which will involve seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-Related Parties of the Company. |
|---|---|
| Number and class of Securities | The number of Shares to be issued will be equal to $2,500,000 divided by the Issue Price. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued under this Resolution is 119,047,619 Shares, being the number calculated by dividing $2,500,000 by the minimum issue price of $0.021. |
| Issue date of Securities | The Company expects to issue the Future Placement Shares within 3 months after the date of the Meeting. |
| Terms of the Securities | The Shares will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares. |
| Issue price of Securities | The Shares will be issued at an issue price that is the higher of: • $0.021 per Share (being the minimum issue price approved by Shareholders under this Resolution); and • equal to a 15% discount to the 5 -day volume weighted average price (VWAP) immediately before the date on which the issue price is agreed. The Company will not issue any Shares under this Resolution at an issue price lower than $0.021 per Share. |
| Purpose of issue and use of funds | The Company intends to apply the funds raised under the Future Placement towards synergistic acquisitions, sales and marketing of NoviqAI and Carbon Central and general working capital purposes and to fund the costs of the Placement, as set out above. |
| Voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 11 applies and is included in the Notice preceding this Explanatory Statement. |
19
8.4 Analysis of potential dilution
Set out below is a worked example of the number of Shares that may be issued under this Resolution on assumed issue prices of $0.023, $0.02 and $0.015 per Share, on the basis that $2,500,000 is raised pursuant to the Placement:
| Assumed Issue Price | Maximum number of Shares which may be issued1 |
Shares on issue2 | Dilution effect on existing Shareholders3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.025 | 100,000,000 | 280,869,880 | 36% |
| $0.023 | 108,695,652 | 280,869,880 | 28% |
| $0.021 | 119,047,619 | 280,869,880 | 30% |
Notes:
-
Rounded to the nearest whole number.
-
There are currently 280,869,880 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. 3. Rounded to the nearest whole number.
-
The Company notes that the above workings are an example only and the actual issue price may differ. This will result in the maximum number of Shares to be issued and the dilution percentage to also differ.
As the Issue Price under Resolution 11 may be calculated by reference to the market price of the Company's Shares at a future time, the issue could be highly dilutive to existing Shareholders if the market price of the Shares falls substantially between the date of the approval and the date of agreement to issue.
8.5 Board recommendations
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.
9. RECOMMENDATIONS
The Directors believe that the above proposals are in the best interest of the Company and, save where otherwise stated, unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the Company’s general meeting.
