Resolution 1 (Capitalisation of loan and issue of shares to Jason Gunn) is withdrawn .

The Board has decided to withdraw Resolution 1.

Resolutions 2-5 (The grant of 5,000,000 Options to each of the Directors)

The EM explained that 5,000,000 Options are proposed to be granted to each of the Directors. Each such Option entitles the holder to acquire one fully paid share in the Company at an exercise price of 2.2 cents per OLI and otherwise on the terms specified in the EM.

Further Explanation on OLI Share Price at time of granting Shares:

The EM states that “At the time these Options were granted to Mr Gunn, Mrs Gunn, Mr Metter and Mr Dower “the OLI trading price was 1.9 cents per share”. This Board wishes to clarify this statement.

The share price of 1.9 cents referred to in the EM was an intra-day low on 1 March 2019, the day after the release of the half-yearly results and the announcement of the appointment of Mr Jason Gunn and Mrs Amanda Gunn to the Board and the resignation of two of the previous directors.

The shares traded in the range of 2.2 to 2.3 cents up to 8 March 2019 and closed at 2.2 cents on that day. On 11 March, when the next announcement about further changes to the Board was made, the price moved up

to a high of 3 cents, closing at 2.9 cents. Between 12 March 2019 and 28 March 2019, the shares traded between 2.9 cents and 5 cents. The high of 5 cents occurred on 13 March 2019 and the low of 2.9 cents on 28 March 2019. By the end of this period and at the time of the board meeting on 29 March 2019 the price had settled at about 3 cents per share.

The price of 2.2 cents referred to in the Board Minutes of 29 March 2019 as being the exercise price of the Options was within the prevailing price range at the time the current Board took over. This was fixed both as the exercise price of the proposed Options and the base for measuring the doubling of the share price specified in the vesting conditions.

Explanation of Impact on Profit and Loss of the Company

The NOM and EM did not disclose the impact that the granting of the Options to the directors would have on the Profit and Loss of the Company. This is because at the time that the NOM was first submitted to ASX for approval at the end of October 2019, the OLI share price was trading at approximately 4.4 cents and the Board was advised that the impact of granting these Options on its financial position was not material at that time.

OLI has now been advised that as a result of the significant recent increase in the price of OLI’s shares since the NOM was first submitted to ASX for approval, the granting of the Options, if approved by shareholders, will have a material impact on the Company’s profits in 2019-20.

Under AASB 2- Share Based Payments, the Company will be required to charge to profits the fair value of the options assessed at the date on which they are granted. Assuming that the current OLI share price of approximately nine (9) cents per share prevails at the date of granting, the fair value of the options, and the corresponding charge to profits, would be approximately $1.1 million. The actual impact will depend on the OLI share price at the time the Options are granted to the Directors. The Options, if they are all exercised, will result in $440,000 positive cash contribution to the Company and will not otherwise negatively impact OLI’s cash position.

Shareholders should note that the market capitalisation of the Company has risen since the time the current Board took office by about $19.6 million - from about $5.5 million (at 2.2 cents per share) to about $22.6 million (at 9 cents per share).

Conclusion

We ask that you as a Shareholder carefully consider all the information and make your decision based on all the facts.
