How many Shares must be present for voting to hold the Meeting?

Pursuant to Article I, Section 4, of the Company’s Bylaws, the holders of one-third of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting must be present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

Shares are counted as present at the Annual General Meeting if:

  • the Shareholder of record on the Record Date attends the Meeting in person or virtually; and

  • the Shareholder of record on the Record Date, or the applicable beneficial owner, has properly submitted a proxy in a timely fashion as set out in this Notice of Meeting.

What is a proxy?

If you designate another person or entity to vote Shares that you own, such other person or entity is referred to as your proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is also called a proxy or proxy card. When you designate a proxy, you may also direct the proxy how to vote your Shares. This is referred to as your “proxy vote”.

What is the difference between a Shareholder of record and a “Street Name” holder?

If you own Shares registered directly in your name with the Company’s US share registrar, you are considered the Shareholder of record with respect to those Shares. As a Shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company or to vote in person at the Annual General Meeting.

If your Shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trust or other nominee, then the broker, trust or other nominee is considered to be the Shareholder of record with respect to those Shares, while you are considered the beneficial owner of those Shares and your Shares are held in street name ( Street Name ). Street Name holders generally cannot vote their Shares directly and must instead instruct the broker, bank, trust or other nominee how to vote their Shares. Since a Street Name holder is not the Shareholder of record, the Street Name holder may not vote their Shares in person at the Annual General Meeting unless such holder obtains a legal proxy from their applicable broker, bank, trustee or nominee giving such holder the right to vote the Shares at the meeting.

CDN is the Shareholder of record for all Shares beneficially owned by holders of CDIs. Holders of CDIs are entitled to receive the Notice of Meeting and attend the Annual General Meeting and may direct CDN to vote by using the method described in the CDI Voting Instruction Form.

What does it mean if I receive more than one printed set of proxy materials?

If you receive more than one printed set of proxy materials, it means that you hold Shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all of your Shares are voted, please submit proxies or voting instructions for all of your Shares.

Can I vote my Shares in person at the meeting?

Given the significant health concerns attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to guidelines and restrictions issued by Australian state and federal governments, the Company considers that it is appropriate to hold the 2021 AGM as a virtual meeting , in a manner that is consistent with the Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No. 1) Bill 2021. Shareholders and other parties are unable to attend physically at the meeting.

Therefore, you may only vote your Shares at the Annual Meeting by registering and participating in the virtual online facility if you own shares of Class A Common Stock or CDIs and are a Shareholder of record on the Record Date. CDI Holders may vote the Shares underlying their CDIs by submitting their properly completed CDI Voting Form and lodging it with the Company by the due date and in a manner as set out in this Notice of Annual Meeting.

Even if you currently plan to attend the virtual meeting and vote your Shares at the meeting, we recommend that you submit a proxy so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting. If you submit your vote by proxy and later decide to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, the vote you submit at the Annual Meeting will override your proxy vote.

If you are a Street Name holder of Shares, you may vote your Shares in person at the meeting only if you obtain and provide to Automic prior to the meeting a signed letter or other form of proxy from your broker, bank, trust or other nominee giving you the right to vote the Shares at the meeting.

How do I vote my Shares of Class A Common Stock?

Shareholders are entitled to vote if they are a Shareholder on the Record Date regardless of whether they attend the Annual General Meeting.

At the Annual General Meeting, every holder of Class A Common Stock present themselves or by proxy, is entitled to one vote for each Share of Class A Common Stock held on the Record Date on all matters submitted to a vote to the Shareholders.

If you are a Shareholder of record, you can vote in any of the following ways:

How do I vote if I hold CDIs?

If you are a CDI Holder, you must take one of the following actions in order to vote at the Annual General Meeting:

  1. Instructing CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd ( CDN ), as the Shareholder of record, to vote the Shares underlying your CDIs pursuant to your instructions in the CDI Voting Instruction Form provided to Automic Registry.

  2. Converting your CDIs into Shares of Class A Common Stock and voting such Shares at the meeting in person (not permitted for this meeting), virtually or by proxy. Note: In order to vote as a Shareholder in person at the meeting (not permitted for this meeting), such conversion to Class A Common Stock must be completed prior to the Record Date. CDI Holders should contact the Share Registry for information regarding the conversion process. If CDI Holders convert their holding to Class A Common Stock prior to the Record Date, then they may follow the instructions above for voting as a Class A common shareholder.

Each CDI represents 1 Share of Class A Common Stock. Therefore, each CDI Holder will be entitled to one vote for every 1 CDI that they hold through CDN.

Background

Article II, Section 1, of the Company’s Bylaws provides that Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at Annual Meetings of Shareholders, and each Director so elected shall hold office until the next Annual General Meeting and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation or removal.

Article II, Section 2, of the Company’s Bylaws provides that vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorised number of directors may be filled by vote of a majority of the directors and the directors so appointed shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal.

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 also provides that each additional director appointed during the year is to hold office until the next Annual General Meeting and is then eligible for election as a Director of the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has Directors must hold an election of Directors at each annual general meeting.

The ASX has granted the Company a waiver from Listing Rule 14.2.1 to permit the Company not to provide in its proxy form an option for holders of CDIs to vote against a resolution to elect a Director. You may only vote “for” or “abstain” on the re-election of each director. If a holder votes “against" a resolution to elect a director under the Bylaws, this will be treated as an “abstain”.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Resolution 7 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Approval of Future Issue of Securities

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 add an additional 10% capacity.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).

As at the close of trading on 13 October 2021, based on a closing share price of $0.24, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $37.44 million and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

----- End of picture text -----

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.

Period for which the approval will be valid

An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (b) the time and date of the entity’s next Annual General Meeting; and

  • (c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A

Any equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity Securities and issued for cash consideration.

The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the equity Securities in that class, calculated over 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at the equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the equity Securities; and

  • (b) if the equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity Securities are issued.

Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used

As noted above, any equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders

==> picture [46 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

Nyrada Inc. | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

17

approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:

  • (a) to further develop the Company’s business;

  • (b) to fund and develop any of its existing products and newly discovered products;

  • (c) to acquire assets including acquisition (full or part) of asset purchases or equity holdings, either in current part owned holdings or new acquisitions; and

  • (d) for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements.

Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders

If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing securityholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Company’s equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) the equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company’s equity Securities on the issue date;

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:

  • (b) Based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at 13 October 2021.

Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • (a) the Company’s intentions in relation to the possible issue of equity Securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;

  • (b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);

  • (c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;

  • (d) the Company’s financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and

  • (e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.

Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue equity Securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules any applicable laws, the Board reserves the right to determine at the time of any issue of equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.

If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity Securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.

Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders and CDI Holders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities.

HOW TO VOTE ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS

You can vote by completing, signing, and returning your CDI Voting Instruction Form. This form gives your voting instructions to CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd, which will vote the underlying shares on your behalf. You need to return the form no later than the time and date shown above to give CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd enough time to tabulate all CHESS Depositary Interest votes and to vote on the underlying shares.

STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS

You may direct CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your CDI’s will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of CDI’s you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
