The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the glossary to this document.
ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of the Notice or the Explanatory Statement.
This Explanatory Statement does not take into account any person’s investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. If you are in any doubt about what to do in relation to the Meeting you should consult your financial or other professional adviser.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2: RATIFY PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO SOPHISTICATED OR PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS PURSUANT TO PLACEMENT
1.1 Background
As announced on 12 March 2025 the Company completed a placement of 235,000,000 Shares at $0.00655 per Share to Sophisticated or Professional Investors to raise $1,539,250 before costs ( Placement ).
On 12 March 2025, the Company issued a total of 235,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Placement ( Placement Shares ) comprising:
-
(a) 1,860,441 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company's 15% Placement Capacity (the subject of Resolution 1); and
-
(b) 233,139,559 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity (the subject to Resolution 2).
The Company proposes to use the funds raised under the Placement to fund the cash consideration for the Company's entry into the License Agreement (refer to ASX announcement on 12 March 2025).
Placement Shares were issued using the Company's 15% Placement Capacity and the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity. Accordingly, the Company is now seeking Shareholder ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes.
An explanation of the Company's placement capacity and ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is set out below.
1.2 Approval sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, ASX 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 ( 15% Placement Capacity ).
8
Furthermore, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, a Company that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the period the approval is valid, an additional number of Equity Securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the date of the approval, as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Having obtained Shareholder approval at the Company's annual general meeting on 27 November 2024, the Company has an additional 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ( 10% Additional Placement Capacity ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 states that where a company's shareholders ratify a prior issue of Securities, issued under that company's 15% Placement Capacity and/or that company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity, provided that previous issue of Securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1, those Securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and/or 7.1A. This has the effect of "refreshing" a company's placement capacity and thereby increasing the number of Securities that may be issued under the Company's 15% Placement Capacity and/or 10% Additional Placement Capacity, without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Placement Shares initially issued under the Company's 15% Placement Capacity will no longer be included within the Company's 15% Placement Capacity and this will provide flexibility for the Company to issue future Securities under the Company's 15% Placement Capacity without having to obtain Shareholder approval for some or all of those future issues.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placement Shares issued under the 15% Placement Capacity will continue to be included in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Placement Shares initially issued under the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity will no longer be included within the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity and this will provide flexibility for the Company to issue future Securities under the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity without having to obtain Shareholder approval for some or all of those future issues.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Placement Shares issued under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity will continue to be included in calculating the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval.

2. RESOLUTION 3: RATIFY PRIOR ISSUE OF CONSIDERATION SHARES
2.1 Background
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 135,000,000 Shares ( Consideration Shares ) on 12 March 2025 to BNPL as part consideration of the Company's entry into a License Agreement with BNPL (refer to ASX announcement on 12 March 2025).
The Consideration Shares were issued without Shareholder approval under the Company's 15% Placement Capacity. Accordingly, the Company is now seeking Shareholder ratification of the issue of Placement Shares for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes.
2.2 Approval sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in section 1.2 of the Explanatory Statement.
The issue of the Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and it has not yet been approved by the Company's Shareholders.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Consideration Shares issued under the Company's 15% Placement Capacity will no longer be included within the Company's 15% Placement Capacity and this will provide flexibility for the Company to issue future Securities under the Company's 15% Placement Capacity without having to obtain Shareholder approval for some or all of those future issues.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Consideration Shares issued under the 15% Placement Capacity will continue to be included in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval.
