If you are in any doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions contemplated in the Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement, it is recommended that you seek advice from an accountant, solicitor or other professional advisor.

Full details of the business to be considered at the Meeting are set out below.

Agenda

1. Resolution 1 Ratification of prior issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

1.1 General

On 8 December 2022, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $1,080,000 (before costs) by the issue of up to 30,422,536 Shares at an issue price of $0.0355 each ( Placement Shares ) to sophisticated and institutional investors, with 1 free attaching Option (exercisable at $0.08 each on or before 31 January 2025) for every 2 Placement Shares issued under the Placement ( Placement Options ).

The Company proposes to issue the Placement Shares in two separate tranches as follows:

  • (a) 25,850,775 Placement Shares were issued on 15 December 2022 ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ), those Placement Shares being the subject of this Resolution 1;

  • (b) 4,571,761 Placement Shares, subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 2 and Resolution 3 at the Meeting ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ); and

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares as follows:

  • (a) 15,610,465 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) 10,240,310 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A,

at $0.0355 per share which raised approximately $917,703 (before costs).

Each subscriber for Placement Shares will receive one free attaching Placement Option for every two Placement Shares subscribed for, subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 3.

6

1.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% additional capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that Listing Rule for the 12 month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, which could be beneficial to the Company in circumstances where it needs to raise further capital for growth.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1A. 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 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, effectively refreshing the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1 is passed, 25,850,775 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 & 10% additional limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, 25,850,775 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% additional capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 25,850,775 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares. This could be prohibitive to the Company’s capital needs moving forward.

1.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and institutional investors, none of whom is a related party of the Company or a Material Investor. The Tranche 1 Placement participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved BW Equities Pty Ltd and Viriathus Capital Pty Ltd as the joint lead managers ( Joint Lead Managers ) seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Tranche 1 Placement from existing sophisticated and institutional contacts of the Company and through a bookbuild process, which involved the Joint Lead Managers seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.

7

  • (b) A total of 25,850,775 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued:

  • (i) 15,610,465 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 10,240,310 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (c) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares are 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 on 15 December 2022, being prior to the date of the Meeting.

  • (e) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued at $0.0355 per Share.

  • (f) A subscriber of Tranche 1 Placement Shares will also receive 1 free attaching Option (exercisable at $0.08 each on or before 31 January 2025) for every 2 Placement Shares issued under the Placement, subject to Shareholders approving Resolutions 3.

  • (g) The proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are intended to be used to accelerate the growth of Blue Dinosaur in the United States, as well as to provide additional working capital. Costs of the issue will also be paid out of the proceeds.

  • (h) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

  • (i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

1.4 Additional information

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2. Resolution 2 - Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares

2.1 General

Pursuant to the Placement announced by the Company on 8 December 2022, the Company is proposing to issue up to 4,571,761 Shares at an issue price of $0.0355 each, together with one free attaching Option for every two Shares subscribed for and issued (exercisable at $0.08 each on or before 31 January 2025), to raise up to $162,298 (before costs) ( Tranche 2 Placement ).

Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 4,571,761 Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) to be issued to institutional and sophisticated investors, at $0.0355 per share to raise approximately $162,298 (before costs).

Each subscriber for Placement Shares will receive one free attaching Placement Option for every two Placement Shares subscribed for, subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 3.

8

2.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 1.2 above.

The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity remaining under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A to accommodate the proposed issue. The Company therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and raise up to a further $162,298 ,before costs, and in addition to the $917,703 raised under the Tranche 1 Placement, the subject of Resolution 1. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares 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 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares (and the free attaching Placement Options related to those Tranche 2 Placement Shares) and may need to raise additional funds through an equity capital raising of a lesser amount using any remaining capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (subject to Resolution 1 being passed), debt financing, joint ventures, licensing arrangements or other means.

Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company's activities may result in poorer financial performance and slower growth of the Company. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, that the terms of the financing will be favourable to the Company.

2.3 Specific 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 the approval of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to sophisticated and institutional investors. Other than the Director for whom a separate Shareholder approval is being sought (refer to Resolution 4), none of the Tranche 2 Placement participants will be related. The Tranche 2 Placement participants were introduced by the Joint Lead Managers or were prospective investors already known to the Company. The Joint Lead Managers identified investors through a bookbuild process, which involved the Joint Lead Managers seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.

  • (b) A maximum of 4,571,761 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued under the Tranche 2 Placement.

  • (c) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting. It is intended that all of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares

9

will be issued on the same date as soon as practicable following the Meeting.

  • (e) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued at $0.0355 per Share.

  • (f) A subscriber of Tranche 2 Placement Shares will also receive 1 free attaching Option (exercisable at $0.08 each on or before 31 January 2025) for every 2 Placement Shares issued under the Placement, subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 3.

  • (g) The proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are intended to be used to accelerate the growth of Blue Dinosaur in the United States, as well as to provide additional working capital. Costs of the issue will also be paid out of the proceeds.

  • (h) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

  • (i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

2.4

Additional information

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution and is conditional on Shareholders approving Resolution 3.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3. Resolution 3 - Approval to issue free attaching Placement Options

3.1

General

The Company is proposing to issue up to 15,211,269 Placement Options as free attaching quoted Options, on the basis of one free attaching Placement Option for every 2 Placement Shares issued to the sophisticated and institutional investors who participated in the Placement.

Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options to Directors.

The Company intends to apply for quotation of the Placement Options with ASX.

3.2 Listing Rule 7.1

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

The proposed issue of the Placement Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity remaining under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A to accommodate the issue. The Company therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options. In addition, the issue 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 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options and will not proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. This will diminish the effect of the Placement, and will result in the Company potentially

10

losing out on up to a further approximately $1.2 million in capital should the Placement Options be exercised in the future. However, it is noted that any future exercise of the options is at the sole discretion of the option holder and cannot be guaranteed. For further information on how this may affect the Company, see Section 2.2.

3.3 Specific 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 the approval of the issue of the Placement Options:

  • (a) The Placement Options will be issued to sophisticated and institutional investors who subscribed for Placement Shares. Other than the Director for whom a separate Shareholder approval is being sought (refer to Resolution 4), none of the participants in the Placement are related parties of the Company. The Placement Participants were introduced by the Joint Lead Managers or were prospective investors already known to the Company. The Joint Lead Managers identified investors through a bookbuild process, which involved the Joint Lead Managers seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.

  • (b) A maximum of 15,211,269 Placement Options are to be issued under the Placement.

  • (c) The Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.08 each on or before 31 January 2025. The full terms of the Placement options are set out in Schedule 1.

  • (d) The Placement Options will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting. It is intended that all of the Placement Options will be issued on the same date as soon as practicable after the Meeting.

  • (e) The Placement Options are free attaching quoted Options and will have a nil issue price.

  • (f) No proceeds will be raised from the issue of the Placement Options.

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) 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.

The Director Participant is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Securities as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Placement Securities to the Director Participant (or his nominee) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of passing Resolutions 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Securities to the Director Participant, raising $30,000 (before costs) as part of the Tranche 2 Placement proceeds. This amount will be set-off against director costs owed to Anthony Rowlinson.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Placement Securities, and the Company will not receive the funds committed by the Director Participant and will need to pay the director costs owed to Anthony Rowlinson in cash.

4.3 Specific 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 the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities:

  • (a) The Director Placement Securities will be issued to Anthony Rowlinson (or his respective nominees).

  • (b) Anthony Rowlinson falls into the category of a related party, as stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director of the Company. In the event the Director Placement Securities are issued to a nominee of the Director Participant, that person will fall into the category of an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 (being a related party), as stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4;

  • (c) 845,091 Director Placement Shares and 422,545 Director Placement Options will be issued to Anthony Rowlinson (or his nominee) under Resolution 4;

  • (d) The Director Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue, and the Director Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.08 each on or before 31 January 2025. The terms of the Director Placement Options are the same as those for the Placement Options as set out in Schedule 1.

  • (e) The Director Placement Securities will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (f) The Director Placement Shares will be issued at $0.0355 per Share, being the same price at which the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued. The Director Placement Options are free-attaching to the Director Placement Shares to be issued and therefore will be issued at an issue price of nil.

  • (g) The proceeds from the issue of the Director Placement Shares are intended to reduce director payment costs and be used to accelerate the growth of Blue Dinosaur in the United States, as well as to provide additional working capital. Costs of the issue will also be paid out of the proceeds.

  • (h) The proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Director Participants.

  • (i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.4

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 proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

13

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Securities because the Shares and Options will be issued on the same terms as the Shares and Options issued to non-related party participants in the Tranche 2 Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms pursuant to section 210 of the Corporations Act.

4.5 Additional information

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Anthony Rowlinson who has a material personal interest in the outcome of the resolution concerning his subscription for Director Placement Securities) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of Resolution 4.

5. Resolution 5 - Approval to issue Broker Options

5.1

General

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 10,000,000 Options to be split equally between BW Equities Pty Ltd and Viriathus Capital Pty Ltd (together, the Joint Lead Managers ), ( Broker Options ) in consideration for lead manager services provided to the Company in connection with the Placement.

The Broker Options will be issued pursuant to an engagement letter between the Company and the Joint Lead Managers as summarised in Section 5.4 below.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Broker Options to the Joint Lead Managers (or their nominees) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

5.2

Listing Rule 7.1

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

The proposed issue of the Broker Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity remaining under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A to accommodate the issue. The Company therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options to the Joint Lead Managers (or their nominees). In addition, the issue 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 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options to the Joint Lead Managers (or their nominees). In this event, the Joint Lead Managers may be less inclined to assist the Company in its future capital raising endeavours. This will also result in the Company potentially losing out on up to a further approximately $800,000 in capital should the Broker Options be exercised in the future. However, it is noted that any future exercise of the options is at the sole discretion of the option holder and cannot be guaranteed.

5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

14

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Broker Options:

  • (c) The Broker Options will be split equally between BW Equities Pty Ltd and Viriathus Capital Pty Ltd (or their nominees). The Joint Lead Managers are advisers to the Company.

  • (d) A maximum of 10,000,000 Options are proposed to be issued to the Joint Lead Managers (or their nominees).

  • (e) The Broker Options will be exercisable at $0.08 each on or before 31 January 2025. Complete terms of issue of the Broker options are set out in Schedule 1.

  • (f) The Broker Options will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting.

  • (g) The Broker Options are free quoted options in consideration for services provided by the Joint Lead Managers in connection with the Placement.

  • (h) The Broker Options will be issued in accordance with the Broker Mandate. A summary of the Broker Mandate is outlined at Section 5.4 below.

  • (i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.4 Summary of Broker Mandate

the provision of lead manager services, including the coordination and management of the Placement as marketing services.
