3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

3.1

General

On 5 May 2023, the Company announced a capital raising of up to $4,500,000 (before costs) via the issue of up to 99,999,997 Shares at an issue price of $0.045 per Share ( Placement Shares ), with one free-attaching quoted Option exercisable at $0.0675 each and expiring on 26 May 2025 for every two Placement Shares issued ( Placement Options ) ( Placement ).

The Placement is comprised of the following two tranches:

  • (a) 88,888,886 Placement Shares issued to unrelated parties of the Company ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and

  • (b) 11,111,111 Placement Shares comprising:

Page 7

  • (i) 2,066,665 Placement Shares to be issued to unrelated parties of the Company, subject of Resolution 3 ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ); and

  • (ii) 9,044,446 Placement Shares to be issued to the Directors (and/or their respective nominees), the subject of Resolution 5 ( Director Placement Shares ).

On 11 May 2023, the Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A as follows:

  • (a) 37,963,542 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) 50,925,344 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.

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

3.2

Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

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

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 37,963,542 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 50,925,344 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following

Page 8

the issue date.

If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 37,963,542 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 37,963,542 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 50,925,344 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 10% limit 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 50,925,344 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

3.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

  • (a) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to existing and new sophisticated investors, none of whom are related parties or a Material Investor ( Tranche 1 Placement Participants ).

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Options 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 part of the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, 44,444,474 Tranche 1 Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, 44,444,474 Tranche 1 Placement Options will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 44,444,474 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Options.

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (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 company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

Page 14

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relation 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.5).

The Directors are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board 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 Directors (and/or their respective nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Securities, raising up to $407,000 (before costs).

If Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Securities and will not receive the additional $407,000 (before costs) committed by the Directors.

7.3 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 the Directors (and/or their respective nominees) in the manner set out in Section 7.1.

  • (b) Each of the Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors of the Company.

  • (c) A maximum of 9,044,446 Director Placement Shares and 4,522,223 Director Placement Options will be issued to the Directors (and/or their respective nominees).

  • (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.

  • (e) The Director Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.0675 each and will expire on 26 May 2025. The Director Placement Options are subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.

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

  • (g) The Director Placement Shares are proposed to be issued at an issue price of $0.05 each, being the same issue price as other Placement Shares and will raise up to approximately $407,000 (before costs). The Director Placement Options are proposed to be issued for nil cash consideration as they are free-attaching to the Director Placement Shares. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Placement Options.

Page 15

  • (h) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares is in Section 3.3(f) above. No additional funds will be raised by the issue of the Director Placement Options.

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

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

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

7.4 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.

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 Securities will be issued on the same terms as those Securities issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

7.5 Additional information

Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) are ordinary resolutions.

The Board declines to make a recommendation in respect of Resolution 5(a), to (d) (inclusive) as each of the Directors have a personal interest in the Resolutions.
