3. Annual Report

In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report, including the Financial Report, the Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2018 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2020 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Daniel Harris

5.1 General

Article 7.2(b) of the Constitution requires an election of Directors at each annual general meeting of the Company. Article 7.2(b)(iv) of the Constitution provides that the Directors to retire are those who have held their office as Director for the longest period since their last election or appointment to that office.

Article 7.2(b)(iv) of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires in accordance with that Article is eligible for re-election.

Executive Director Mr Daniel Harris has held office the longest since his appointment on 19 March 2018. Accordingly, Mr Harris retires at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election pursuant to Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual

• 8 -

general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to provide the Company the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) below). The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Is the Company an eligible entity?

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $10 million, based on the closing price of Shares ($0.10) on 23 October 2019.

(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the company.

As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities; Shares.

(c) How many Equity Securities can be issued?

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Facility, the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

• A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

• (A) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

• (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

• (C) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include any issue of Shares under the

• 9 -

Company's 15% annual placement capacity without Shareholder approval; and

(D) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that "A" has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

• D

is 10%.

• E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?

The Company's ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

(e) At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

• (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

• (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,

( Minimum Issue Price ).

(f) When can Equity Securities be issued?

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of Meeting and will expire on the earlier to occur of:

• (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting; or

• (ii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

(g) What is the effect of Resolution 3?

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

• 10 -

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:

(a) Minimum issue price

If the Company issues Equity Securities for cash consideration under the 10% Placement Facility, then the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price.

If the Company issues Equity Securities for non-cash consideration under the 10% Placement Facility, then, in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market that demonstrates that the issue price of the Equity Securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

(b) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares).

The below table shows:

• (i) the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 6.2(c)) as at the date of the Notice ( Variable A );

• (ii) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and (iii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Share on issue Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2		Dilution	Dilution
	Issue price per Share	$0.05 50% decrease in Issue Price	$0.10 Issue Price	$0.20 100% increase in Issue Price
100,000,000 Shares Current Variable A	10% Voting Dilution	10,000,000 Shares	10,000,000 Shares	10,000,000 Shares
	Funds raised	$500,000	$1,000,000	$2,000,000
150,000,000 Shares 50% increase in current Variable A	10% Voting Dilution	15,000,000 Shares	15,000,000 Shares	15,000,000 Shares
	Funds raised	$750,000	$1,500,000	$3,000,000
200,000,000 Shares	10% Voting Dilution	20,000,000 Shares	20,000,000 Shares	20,000,000 Shares

• 11 -

Share on issue Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2		Dilution	Dilution
	Issue price per Share	$0.05 50% decrease in Issue Price	$0.10 Issue Price	$0.20 100% increase in Issue Price
100% increase in current Variable A	Funds raised	$1,000,000	$2,000,000	$4,000,000

Notes:

1. The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

2. (a) the issue price is $0.10 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 23 October 2019, being the last day that the Company's Shares traded on the ASX before this Notice was printed;

3. (b) Variable A comprises of 100,000,000 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4;

4. (c) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;

5. (d) no convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities; and

6. (e) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

7. The number of Shares on issue (i.e. Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.

8. 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%.

9. 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 Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

10. The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

• (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

• (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date

• 12 -

or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

(c)

Final date for issue

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period.

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid if Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.

(d) Purposes of issues under 10% Placement Facility

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for continued investment in the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and/or for general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e)

Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

• (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

• (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

• (iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

• (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.

(f)

Issues in the past 12 months

The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 28 November 2018.

In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities.

• 13 -

(g) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

7. Resolution 4 – Amendment to the Constitution

7.1 General

Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders to modify the Company's Constitution by inserting new definitions and new Article 2.7 as set out in Section 7.2 below.

A copy of the amended constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the amended constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

7.2 Proposed amendment

ASX is proposing to introduce a number of changes to the escrow regime in the Listing Rules in December 2019 to make aspects of the listing process and ongoing compliance with the Listing Rules more efficient for issuers and for ASX.

Amongst these, ASX is proposing to introduce a two-tier escrow regime where ASX can and will require certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form of Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings, ASX will instead permit entities to rely on a provision in their constitution imposing appropriate escrow restrictions on the holder of restricted securities and to simply give a notice to the holder of restricted securities in the form of a new Appendix 9C advising them of those restrictions.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to amend the Constitution to meet the requirements of proposed amended Listing Rules 9 and 15.12 as follows:

• 14 -

Insert the following new defined terms in Article 1.1:

" Dispose has the meaning given to that term in the Listing Rules and Disposal has the corresponding meaning."

" Restricted Securities has the meaning given to it by the Listing Rules."

Amend the defined term 'Restriction Agreement' in Article 1.1 to the following:

" Restriction Agreement or Restriction Deed means a restriction deed in a form prescribed by the Listing Rules or otherwise approved by a Stock Exchange."

Insert new Article 2.7:

" 2.7 Restricted Securities

• (a) While the Company is on the official list of ASX, the Company must recognise and comply with the Listing Rules with respect to Restricted Securities.

• (b) Notwithstanding the generality of article 2.7(a):

• (i) a holder of Restricted Securities must not Dispose of, or agree or offer to Dispose of, the Restricted Securities during the escrow period applicable to those Restricted Securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX;
