EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1

1.1 General

As announced on 2 October 2019, the Company received firm commitments from professional and sophisticated investors to raise $268,000 pursuant to a placement of 67,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.004 per Share ( Placement ). The Placement was completed on 7 October 2019.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of Shares under the Placement ( Ratification ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

1.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) 67,000,000 Shares were issued;

  • (b) the issue price was $0.004 per Share;

  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and

  • (e) the funds raised from this issue will be used for working capital purposes.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF DIRECTOR AND EMPLOYEE FEE PLAN

2.1 Background

The Board has adopted a Director and Employee Fee Plan ( Fee Plan ) to enable the Company to issue Shares to eligible participants in lieu of accrued cash remuneration. Eligible participants are a full or part-time employee, officer, consultant, contractor, a director of the Company or any related entity or any nominee of such a party.

By the Fee Plan, eligible participants can elect to be paid some or all of the cash remuneration accrued to them by the issue of Shares. Any issues of Shares then made are at the discretion of the Board.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the Fee Plan in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).

A summary of the Fee Plan is set out in Schedule 1. In addition, a copy of the Fee Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Fee Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary +61 8 9389 3100. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

No Shares have yet been issued under the Fee Plan.

The objective of the Fee Plan is to offer a cost effective means of remunerating the Directors which aligns the interests of the Board with Shareholders and incentivises the Board (with the number of Shares to be issued in lieu of remuneration being directly linked to the performance of the Company’s Share price) and allows the Company to allocate a greater proportion of its cash reserves to advancing its projects.

2.2 Regulatory Requirements

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1 of this Explanatory Statement. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Shares under the Fee Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

The Fee Plan constitutes an employee incentive scheme within the ASX Listing Rules.

Any future issues of Shares under the Fee Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time. For this reason, the Company is also seeking approval under Resolutions 3 to 5 for the issue of Shares to Directors pursuant to the Fee Plan.

10

3. RESOLUTIONS 3, 4 AND 5 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO DIRECTORS UNDER DIRECTOR AND EMPLOYEE FEE PLAN

3.1 Background

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Shares in lieu of remuneration to each of the three Directors, Peter James, Robert Clisdell and Jay Cohen, under the Fee Plan.

The issue of Shares to the Directors in lieu of accrued cash payments for remuneration under the terms of the Fee Plan will allow the Company to maintain its cash reserves to the extent of Director participation in the Fee Plan.

Under the Fee Plan, each Director may elect to be paid some or all of the cash remuneration accrued to them by the issue of Shares on a quarterly basis. An election can be made by each Director for each calendar quarter within 5 business days after the end of each calendar quarter. The Shares will be issued in lieu of cash due to the Director and thereby no funds will be raised as a result of the issue of the Shares. A summary of the terms of the Fee Plan is set out in Schedule 1.

The number of Shares to be issued to a Director will be determined by the Board based on each Director’s fees payable by the Company for the relevant calendar quarter at the time an offer is made, divided by the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of the Company’s Shares trading on ASX over that calendar quarter.

The maximum number of Shares that a Director can receive in a financial year will be determined by the percentage of remuneration for that year which is sacrificed and satisfied by the issue of Shares and the VWAP of the Shares over the relevant previous calendar quarter.

While the maximum number of Shares to be issued cannot yet be determined, set out below are some examples of the number of Shares that may be issued to the Directors under the Fee Plan, based on an assumed price for Shares of 0.0045 cents per Share (being the closing market price on 17 October 2019). These are examples only and Shareholders should be aware that the actual number of Shares to be issued to Directors may vary, based on the prevailing Share price at the time the number of Shares to be issued is to be calculated, and the percentage of remuneration the Director elects to sacrifice.

Based, for example, on the Directors sacrificing 50% and 100% respectively of their current annual remuneration and a Share price of 0.0045 cents per Share, each Director would be issued with approximately the number of Shares detailed in the table below each year.

11

(Resolution 3)
$100,000 $50,000 11,111,111 $100,000 22,222,222
Robert Clisdell
(Resolution 4)
$39,785 $19,893 4,420,667 $39,785 8,841,111
Jay Cohen
(Resolution 5)
$53,505 $26,753 5,945,111 $53,505 11,890,000

This would dilute current Shareholders by the percentages set out below based on the Company's current share capital:

Number of
Shares currently
on issue (at the
date of this
Notice)
Number of
Shares to be
issued annually
(based on 50%

Number of
Shares to be

(based on

Dilution (based
on 100%
sacrifice)
516,984,204 21,476,889 4.15% 42,953,333 8.31%

The information in the tables above reflect a 12 month period based on the current annual directors’ remuneration. If Shares are to be issued under the Fee Plan based on the assumptions above for 3 years after the date of the Meeting (the limit under ASX Listing Rule 10.15A.9), then the possible dilution of current Shareholders reflected above would increase to 12.45% (based on 50% sacrifice) and 24.93% (based on 100% sacrifice).

3.2 ASX Waiver

In relation to Resolutions 3, 4 and 5, the Company has been granted a waiver of ASX Listing Rule 10.15A.2 to permit this Notice to not state the maximum number of Shares that may be acquired by each Director under the Fee Plan (given that such details cannot be accurately determined at this time).

3.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 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 issue of Shares under the Fee Plan constitutes giving a financial benefit and all of the Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. As it is proposed that Shares be issued to all Directors under the Plan,

12

the Directors have been unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these issues. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Shares to the Directors under the Plan under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

3.4 Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.15A

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

The Fee Plan constitutes an employee incentive scheme within the ASX Listing Rules.

In order to comply with ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the notice convening the meeting at which approval will be sought must comply with either ASX Listing Rule 10.15 or 10.15A. Where shares may be issued later than 12 months following a meeting, the notice must comply with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15A. Accordingly, in order for the Directors to participate in the Fee Plan and be issued Shares later than 12 months (and up to 3 years) following the Meeting, Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and the information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15A is set out below.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue Shares to Directors under Resolution 3, 4 and 5 as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to Directors will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

3.5 Technical information required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15A

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of sections 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15A, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Shares to the Directors:

  • (a) the persons to whom Shares may be issued are Peter James, Robert Clisdell and Jay Cohen, all Directors of the Company, or their respective nominees;

  • (b) the Company has obtained a waiver from ASX in respect of compliance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15A.2. The waiver allows the Company not to include the maximum number of Shares that may be acquired by each of the Directors as this number is not presently ascertainable due to it being based on a formula which includes a future volume weighted average price of the Shares and depends upon the percentage of remuneration each Director elects to be satisfied by the issue of Shares. The waiver was granted on the basis that the Company sets out in this Notice the method by which the number of Shares to be issued will be calculated. The maximum number of Shares to be issued for each calendar quarter will be equal to the amount of the Director’s fees elected to be sacrificed for such period divided by the VWAP of the Shares trading on ASX in such calendar quarter as shown in the example set out in section 3.1 above;

13

  • (c) the final number of Shares issued will be issued at a cost equal to the value of the Director’s fees that would otherwise be payable by the Company;

  • (d) the consideration payable will be equal to the Director’s fees foregone by the Director who accepts an offer;

  • (e) under the Fee Plan, Shares can be issued to full or part-time employees, officers, consultants, contractors, Directors of the Company or any related entity or any nominee of such parties. No Shares have yet been issued under the Fee Plan;

  • (f) details of any Shares issued under Resolutions 3 to 5 will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which Shares have been issued, together with a statement that the Shares were issued under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (i) the issue of Shares to the Directors will align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders;

(q) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 3 to 5.

4. RESOLUTIONS 6 TO 8 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES

4.1 General

The Board proposes, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 42,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ), comprising of 21,000,000 Tranche 1 Options and 21,000,000 Tranche 2 Options to Messrs Peter James, Robert Clisdell and Jay Cohen ( Related Parties ) (or their nominees) on the terms and conditions set out below.

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in section 3.3 above.

The grant of the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs James, Clisdell and Cohen are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As it is proposed that Related Party Options be issued to all Directors, the Directors have been unable to form quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rule 10.15 applies to these issues. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties.

4.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Related Party Options:

  • (a) the related parties are Messrs Peter James, Robert Clisdell and Jay Cohen and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Related Party Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is set out in the table below:

Related Party Tranche 1
Options
Tranche 2
Options
Total
Peter James 10,000,000 10,000,000 20,000,000
Robert Clisdell 7,000,000 7,000,000 14,000,000
Jay Cohen 4,000,000 4,000,000 8,000,000

16

  • (c) the Related Party Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Options will be issued on one date;

  • (d) the Related Party Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 2;

  • (f) the value of the Related Party Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 3;

  • (g) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are set out in section 3.5(i) above;

  • (h) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year are set out in section 3.5(j) above;

  • (i) if the Related Party Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 42,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 516,984,204 to 558,984,204 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 7.5%, comprising 3.57% by Mr James, 2.5% by Mr Clisdell and 1.43% by Mr Cohen;

  • (j) the market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

  • (k) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out section 3.5(k) above;

  • (l) the Board acknowledges the issue of Related Party Options to Messrs James, Clisdell and Cohen is contrary to Recommendation 8.3 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3[rd] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of Related Party Options to Messrs James, Clisdell and Cohen reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph (n);

  • (m) the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as Directors. The conditions which must be satisfied before the Related Party Options can vest (and can therefore be exercised into Shares) are set out in Schedule 2;

17

  • (n) Mr James declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Mr James is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 6 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 7 and 8 recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties, in particular, the vesting conditions of the Related Party Options, will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (o) Mr Clisdell declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Mr Clisdell is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 7 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 6 and 8, Mr Clisdell recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (n);

  • (p) Mr Cohen declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that Mr Cohen is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 8 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 6 and 7, Mr Cohen recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (n);

  • (q) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Related Party, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price, vesting conditions and expiry date of those Related Party Options; and

  • (r) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 6 to 8.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

18

5. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO WHITNEY MILLION
