4.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the Shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors of the Company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the Annual Report of the Company for a financial year.
The Chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
4.2 Voting consequences
Under the Corporations Act a company is required to put to its Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of Shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a Shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the Directors of the Company who were in office when the Directors' Report (as included in the company’s Annual Report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the Managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting, those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the Company is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
4.3 Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

5. Resolution 4 – Approval of additional 10% capacity to issue shares
General
Listing Rule 7.1A, provides that an Eligible Entities may seek shareholder approval at an annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A, the Company is an Eligible Entity.
Effect of Resolution 4
If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below). If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 4, the Company will not be able to issue Equity Securities of up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares unless Shareholder approval is obtained or utilising the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the earlier of (1) the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, (2) the Company’s next annual general meeting and (3) shareholder approval of a transaction under rule 11.2.2 or 11.2, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of less than $300,000,000.
Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has 2 classes of listed Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: PDI) and Listed Options (ASX Code: PDIO).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
A = the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period,
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17,
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
7
-
plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
-
Note: This may include fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 17 where the issue is subsequently approved under rule 7.1.
-
plus the number of partly paid +ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period,
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period; D is 10%. E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been approved by the holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

8
6. Risk of economic and voting dilution
- Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that
-
(i) the market price for the shares at the time they are issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity may be materially higher or lower than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
(ii) shares may be issued under the 10% Share Issue Capacity at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those shares on the date of their issue.
Note that the percentage dilution of voting power and economic interest as a result of the issue of additional shares under the 10% Placement Capacity is dependent on the number of shares issued and the issue price for the issue of those shares under the 10% Placement Capacity. This is demonstrated in the hypothetical example below.
| Number of Shares on Issue |
Dilution | |||
| Issue Price (per Share) |
$0.120 50% decrease in Issue Price |
$0.240 Current Issue Price |
$0.360 50% increase in Issue Price |
|
| 1,351,510,353 (Current) |
Shares issued | 135,151,035 Shares |
135,151,035 Shares |
135,151,035 Shares |
| Funds raised | $16,218,124 | $32,436,248 | $48,654,373 | |
| 2,027,265,530 (50% increase) |
Shares issued | 202,726,553 Shares |
202,726,553 Shares |
202,726,553 Shares |
| Funds raised | $24,327,186 | $48,654,373 | $72,981,559 | |

Shares issued | 270,302,071 Shares |
270,302,071 Shares |
270,302,071 Shares |
| Funds raised | $32,436,248 | $64,872,497 | $97,308,745 |
*The number of Shares on issue could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 1,351,510,353 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 8 October 2021.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
9
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
The Company has issued 101,479,340 ordinary shares representing 8% of the Company’s issued capital pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the date of this meeting as follows:
| Date of issue: | 25 May 2025 |
|---|---|
| Number issued: | 101,479,340 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares |
| Class/Type of equity security: | Ordinary Shares |
| Summary of terms: | Fully paid ordinary shares |
| Names of persons who received securities or basis on which those persons were determined: |
Sophisticated investors who were clients of Euroz Hartleys & Sprott Capital Partners LP |
| Price: | 8.0 cent |
| Discount to market price (if any): | Nil |
| For cash issue | |

| Amount of cash consideration spent | Nil |
| Use of cash consideration | N/A |

-
(ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
Voting Exclusion
