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 “ ratification ” 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 ratify 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. BACKGROUND TO PLACEMENT
1.1 Background
On 28 January 2026, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $1,500,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) through the issue of 75,000,000 Shares at $0.02 each ( Placement Shares ), together with one free attaching listed option exercisable at $0.20 and expiry of 5 March 2028 for every two (2) Placement Shares subscribed under the Placement ( Placement Options ) to sophisticated and professional investors of GBA ( Placement Participants ). The issue of the remaining 4,782,530 Placement Shares and 37,500,000 Placement Options ( Tranche 2 Placement ) is subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolutions 3 and 4.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 70.217,470 Placement Shares on 4 February 2026, comprising of 42,130,482 Shares which were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under 7.1(being the subject of Resolution 1) and 28,086,988 Shares which were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 2).
In connection with the Placement, the Company appointed Peak Asset Management ( Peak ) and Prenzler Group Pty Ltd ( Prenzler ) to act as the lead manager of the Placement. The material terms for Peak acting as joint lead managers ( Joint 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); and
-
(b) a 4% placement fee on the capital introduced in the Placement, payable in cash (plus GST).
Peak and Prenzler will be issued in total 50 million Placement Options as part of their fee under the Joint Lead Manager Mandate. These Placement Options will be issued, subject to the Company receiving Shareholder approval under Resolutions 4 and 5.
Resolutions 1 to 2 are ordinary resolutions, and the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to 2.
1.2 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.
1.3 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. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
6
1.4 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 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.
1.5
Technical Information by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5

2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.2 above.
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.

In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. If the Company is unable to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, it will not be entitled to raise an additional $95,650.6 under the Placement.

The proposed issue of the Placement Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

In addition, the issue of the Placement Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

(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 Dagan 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 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 25,000,000 Advisor Options to Peak (or its nominees) 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 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Advisor Options to Peak (or its nominees). If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of the Advisor Options to Peak (or its nominees).
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 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.
10
The non-conflicted Directors of the Company (being Mr Freddy El Turk, Mr Timothy Brooks and Mr Darren Scott) have carefully considered the proposed issue of Advisor Options to Peak (or its nominees) and formed the view that the financial benefit is being provided on the same terms as the Placement Options. 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 Advisor Options to Peak (or its nominees) 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 Advisor Options to Peak (or its nominees) requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.

The following information in relation to the issue of the Advisor Options to Peak (and or nominees) is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

5. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE ADVISOR OPTIONS TO PRENZLER GROUP PTY LTD
As disclosed in Section 1.1 and 4.1 above, under the Joint Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has entered into an agreement to issue 50,000,000 Placement Options (Advisor Options) to Peak (25,000,000) and Prenzler (25,000,000) (or its nominees) in part consideration for acting as joint lead manager to the Placement (to be split equally).
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of 25,000,000 Advisor Options to Prenzler Group Pty Ltd (and or its nominee(s)).
5.1
Listing Rule 7.1
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.
12
The proposed issue of the Advisor Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Advisor Options. In addition, the issue of the Advisor Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Advisor Options. The Company will issue the Advisor Options at a later date when it has sufficient placement capacity to issue the Placement Options.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Advisor Options.
5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:

-
(f) no funds were raised from the issue of the Advisor Options as they were issued as part consideration for acting as a joint lead manager to the Placement under the Joint Lead Manager Mandate. If the Advisor Options are exercised, the proceeds from the exercise of the Advisor Options will be issued towards general working capital purposes;

(g) the Advisor Options are being issued under the Joint Lead Manager Mandate as summarised above in section 1.1 above; and

6. RESOLUTION 7 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES AND LISTED OPTIONS TO PEAK ASSET MANAGEMENT PTY LTD
6.1 General
As at 23 January 2026, a total amount of A$411,356.08 (inclusive of A$15,2940 GST) is outstanding to Mr Dagan and related entities, comprising accrued loan amounts (including interest), unpaid lead manager fees, unpaid GST components and accrued non-executive director fees ( Unpaid Fees ). The Board has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to capitalise these outstanding amounts at a conversion price of A$0.02 per Share, resulting in the issue of 20,567,804 Shares together with 25,283,902 free attaching options on the same terms as the Advisor Options on a 1-for-2 basis ( Listed Options ). The arrangement has been documented to a formal written contract dated 6 March 2026. If shareholder approval is not obtained for Resolution 7, the Company will pay Mr Niv Dagan A$411,356.08 (inclusive of A$15,294 GST).
13
Mr Niv Dagan is a director of Peak and also a director of the Company. This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 20,567,804 Shares and 25,283,902 Listed Options to Peak (and or its nominees).
6.2 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 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 Niv Dagan 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 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Shares and Listed Options to Mr Niv Dagan 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 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Shares and Listed Options to Mr Niv Dagan. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue and Mr Niv Dagan will receive his fees owed in cash.
6.3 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 and Listed Options (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 Directors of the Company (being Mr Freddy El Turk, Mr Timothy Brooks and Darren Scott) carefully considered the issue of these Shares and Listed Options to Mr Niv Dagan 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.
14
Accordingly, the non-conflicted Directors of the Company believed that the issue of these Shares and Listed Options to Mr Niv Dagan 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 and Listed Options to Mr Niv Dagan requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.

7. RESOLUTION 8 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES AND LISTED OPTIONS
7.1 General
On 28 January 2026, NoviqTech Limited (ASX: NVQ) announced it had entered into a binding agreement to acquire Coralia Pty Ltd, an Australian institutional-scale Biochar Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) company.
Under the agreement ( Coralia Acquisition Agreement ):
-

The Company is seeking shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 8 to issue 7,222,222 Shares and 3,611,111 Listed Options ( Coralia Securities ) to the non-related Coralia shareholders (or their nominee) pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

7.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.2 above.
The proposed issue of the Coralia Securities do not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
7.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Coralia Securities the subject of this Resolution 8. In addition, the issue of the Coralia Securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

8. RESOLUTION 9 – ISSUE OF SHARES AND LISTED OPTIONS TO TIMOTHY BROOKS
8.1 General
As set out in Section 7.1 above, the Company has agreed to issue consideration securities under the Coralia Acquisition Agreement.
17,777,778 Shares and 8,888,889 Listed Options forming part of the consideration are to be issued to Mr Timothy Brooks (or his nominee). Mr Brooks is a director of the Company and is therefore considered a related party of the Company for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of these securities to Mr Brooks (or his nominee). Approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for this issue if Resolution 9 is passed.
8.2 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:
- (f) a related party;
(g) 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;
-
(h) 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;
-
(i) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and
-
(j) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d)
17
above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.
As Mr Timothy Brooks 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 9 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Shares and Listed Options to Mr Timothy Brooks 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 and Listed Options to Mr Timothy Brooks. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue and Mr Timothy Brooks will receive his consideration owed in cash.
8.3 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 and Listed Options (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 Directors of the Company (being Mr Freddy El Turk, Mr Niv Dagan and Darren Scott) carefully considered the issue of these Shares and Listed Options to Mr Niv Dagan 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 Directors of the Company believed that the issue of these Shares and Listed Options to Mr Timothy Brooks 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 and Listed Options to Mr Timothy Brooks requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.
8.4 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
The following information in relation to the issue of the Shares and Listed Options to Mr Timothy Brooks is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) the allottee of the Shares is Mr Timothy Brooks (or his nominee);
