1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 together with the declaration of the directors, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
There is no requirement for shareholders to vote on these statements and reports. Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to raise questions and make comments on these reports and on the management of the Company at the Meeting.
Representatives of the Company’s auditor will be present for discussion purposes on matters of relevance to the audit.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.dlti.com.au/resource/financials/
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 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 financial 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.
2.2 Voting Consequences
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.
11
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 financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the Managing Director of the Company, ( Vacating Directors ) 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.
The Board believes it has, in the past 2 years, operated diligently to execute the Company’s strategy and is remunerated at rates consistent with or less than comparable listed companies.
2.3 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 more than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution will be relevant for this Meeting if at least 25% of the votes cast on this Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report. Refer to Resolution 2 and Section 3 for further information.
2.4 Directors’ Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Board encourages Shareholders to apply the same level of diligence to voting on this Resolution as for the binding Resolutions. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution 1.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – SPILL RESOLUTION
3.1 General
The Corporations Act requirements for this Resolution to be put to vote are set out in Section 2.2.
The effect of this Resolution being passed is the Company will be required to hold the Spill Meeting within 90 days of the date of this Meeting and the Vacating Directors will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting (unless they have resigned prior to this date – see Section 2.2 above). The business of the Spill Meeting will be to put to vote resolutions to appoint persons to offices vacated by the Vacating Directors.
In the event a Spill Meeting is required a separate notice of meeting will be distributed to Shareholders with details about those persons who will seek election as directors of the Company at the Spill Meeting.
3.2 Proxy Voting Restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the voting restrictions applying to Resolution 1 apply in the same manner to this Resolution.
3.3 Directors’ Comment and Recommendation

6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
6.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without 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.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, however, 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%.
An ‘Eligible Entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and is therefore an Eligible Entity for these purposes.
This Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If this Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
This Resolution 5 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.
6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 5:
(a) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting; and
14
- (iii) (the time and date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), or such longer period if allowed by ASX,
( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
(b) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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 by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in the section 7.2 (b)(i) of this Notice, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c)
Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use the funds raised to accelerate its current drone data product strategy.
(d)
Risk of 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 5 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 market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 11 April 2023.
There is a risk that the market price for the Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of approval under rule 7.1A; and the Shares may be issued at a price that is a discount to the market price for the Shares on the issue date.
The table below 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.
15
| Number of Shares on issue (Variable ‘A’ in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2) |
Potential Dilution and Funds Raised | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price (per Share) |
$0.0045 (50% decrease in Issue Price) |
$0.009 (Issue Price) |
$0.0135 (50% increase in Issue Price) |

| Funds raised |
$460,444,43 | $920,888.87 | $1,381,333.31 |
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Furthermore, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2
(f)
16
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 31 May 2022.
The Company has not issued or agreed to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the Meeting.
(g)
Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must:
-
(i) state in its announcement of the proposed issue under ASX Listing Rule 3.10.3 or in its application for quotation of the securities under ASX Listing Rule 2.7 that the securities are being issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(ii) give to ASX immediately after the issue a list of names of the persons to whom the entity issued the equity securities and the number of equity securities issued to each. This list is not for release to the market.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3 upon issue of any Equity Securities.
6.3 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 5.
6.4
Directors Recommendation
The Directors consider the approval of the 10% Placement Capacity to be in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 to give effect to the approval.
7. RESOLUTION 6 – ISSUE OF LIMITED RECOURSE LOAN SHARES TO CHRISTOPHER CLARK AS A DIRECTOR
7.1 General
This Resolution 6 seeks shareholder approval by special resolution for the proposed issue of 27,700,000 Loan Shares pursuant to a Limited Recourse Loan to Christopher Clark, a Director of the Company, (or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below. The Loan Shares are proposed to be held in escrow for a period of up to 2 years.
This Resolution 6 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 6 for it to be passed.
7.2
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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.
17
The issue of Loan Shares to Christopher Clark constitutes giving a financial benefit and Christopher Clark is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Christopher Clark and Paul Richard Williamson who have a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Loan Shares because the agreement to issue the Loan Shares, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis .
7.3 Financial assistance
- a) Restrictions on companies giving financial assistance
Under section 260A(1) of the Corporations Act a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares (or units of shares) in the company or a holding company of the company only if:
-
(i) giving the assistance does not materially prejudice:
-
(A) the interests of the company or its shareholders; or
-
(B) the company’s ability to pay its creditors; or
-
(ii) the assistance is approved by shareholders under section 260B of the Corporations Act (as to which see clause 1.2 below); or
-
(iii) the assistance is exempted under section 260C of the Corporations Act.
Financial assistance is defined very broadly and may include giving security over a company's assets and giving a guarantee and indemnity in respect of another person's liability.
Under section 260A(2) of the Corporations Act, the financial assistance may be given before or after the acquisition of shares.
- b) Shareholder approval of financial assistance
For a company to financially assist a person to acquire shares (or units of shares) in itself or a company of which it is a subsidiary, section 260B(1) of the Corporations Act states that the financial assistance must be approved by its shareholders by:
-
(i) a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the company, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by the person acquiring the shares (or units of shares) or by their associates; or
-
(ii) a resolution agreed to, at a general meeting, by all ordinary shareholders.
-
c) Relevant financial assistance
The Company proposes to provide a Limited Recourse Loan to Christopher Clark to facilitate the purchase of the Loan Shares which are proposed to be issued to him. The loan agreement is proposed to contemplate (inter alia) that:
-
(i) the loaned funds must be used for the purchase of the Loan Shares;
-
(ii) no interest is payable on the loaned funds, however default interest is payable to the Company upon any non-repayment (except where the Loan Shares are sold for the Company’s benefit);
-
(iii) repayment of the loan must be made in full upon demand by the Company 5 years from the date on which the Limited Recourse Loan is advanced, or can be repaid earlier;
-
(iv) any and all dividends and distributions payable on the Loan Shares will be paid to the Company until repayment of the loan in full;
-
(v) upon the occurrence of (A) the cessation of Christopher Clark’s employment, (B) a change in control of the Company, or (C) an unremedied breach of the loan by, or any bankruptcy or insolvency event
18
in relation to, Christopher Clark, the Loan Shares may be sold at the direction of the Company and the funds received from the sale retained by the Company to the extent required to satisfy the loan obligations.
The loan agreement contains various other terms considered standard for agreements of this nature.
- d) Reasons for giving the financial assistance
The proposed financial assistance is intended to allow the Company’s senior management to be financially invested in the success of the Company. This is expected to motivate and retain the senior management, and create a commonality of purpose between senior management and the Company. In turn, it is hoped that this incentive structure will benefit Shareholders by motivating senior management to create wealth for shareholders and enable the senior employees to share in the rewards of the success of the Group.
- e) Effect of financial assistance
The giving of the financial assistance is not likely to materially impact on the Company or its creditors as the Company will not be outlaying any funds. However, the Company will be issuing Loan Shares for these purposes, which will (if this Resolution is passed) result in dilution to the Shareholders of approximately 5.13%. Upon passing of Resolution 6, Christopher Clark is expected to hold approximately 5.13% of the Shares.
- f) Advantages and disadvantages of the financial assistance
By way of advantages, it is expected that:
-
(i) the issue of Loan Shares to the Directors will significantly improve the Company’s ability to incentivise and retain the Company’s key management personnel;
-
(ii) the Company will not be expending any Company funds in order to make the Limited Recourse Loan to the Director, and instead the funds loaned will be used to pay the Company for the Loan Shares; and
-
(iii) the issue of Loan Shares, and the making of the proposed Limited Recourse Loan, to the Director will not increase the amount of debt owed by the Company.
It is expected that the main disadvantage of the financial assistance will be that if all Loan Shares are issued (the subject of Resolutions 6 and 7), the maximum dilution of this issue to Shareholders would be approximately 7.50%.
7.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder 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;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
19
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Loan Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Loan Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
7.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Loan Shares to Christopher Clark within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Loan Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Loan Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Loan Shares.
7.6 Technical 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 Resolution 6:
-
a) the Loan Shares will be issued to Christopher Clark (or his nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Christopher Clark is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;
-
b) the maximum number of Loan Shares to be issued is 27,700,000;
-
c) the Loan Shares are fully paid ordinary shares, and the terms and conditions of the Limited Recourse Loan are set out in Schedule 1;
-
d) the Loan Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
-
e) the issue price of the Loan Shares will be equal to the ten-day volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares at the date of issue. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Loan Shares, as it will be providing the Limited Recourse Loan to finance the purchase of the Loan Shares;
-
f) the purpose of the issue of the Loan Shares is to provide a performance linked long-term incentive component in the remuneration package for Christopher Clark to motivate and reward his performance as an Executive Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to Christopher Clark, enabling 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 Christopher Clark;
-
g) the current total remuneration package for Christopher Clark is $220,000 per annum (excluding statutory superannuation), comprising of directors’ fees/salary, together with additional reimbursement benefits, to be reviewed annually by the Board. The Loan Shares (which have been valued as per Schedule 6) have an estimated value of $185,600 and
-
h) the Loan Shares are being issued to Christopher Clark as part of his remuneration package as a long-term incentive, pursuant to an Offer document the terms of which are summarised in Schedule 1.
20
7.7 Recommendation
The Directors (other than Mr Clark) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. Due to the interest he has in the outcome of Resolution 6, Mr Clark makes no recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6.
8. RESOLUTION 7 – ISSUE OF LIMITED RECOURSE LOAN SHARES TO PAUL RICHARD WILLIAMSON AS A DIRECTOR
8.1 General
This Resolution 7 seeks shareholder approval by special resolution for the proposed issue of 13,850,000 Loan Shares pursuant to a Limited Recourse Loan to Paul Richard Williamson, a Director of the Company, (or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below. The Loan Shares are proposed to be held in escrow for a period of up to 2 years.
This Resolution 7 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 7 for it to be passed.
8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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 Loan Shares to Paul Richard Williamson constitutes giving a financial benefit and Paul Richard Williamson is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Christopher Clark and Paul Richard Williamson who have a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Loan Shares because the agreement to issue the Loan Shares, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis .
8.3 Financial assistance
- a) Restrictions on companies giving financial assistance
Under section 260A(1) of the Corporations Act a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares (or units of shares) in the company or a holding company of the company only if:
-
(i) giving the assistance does not materially prejudice:
-
(A) the interests of the company or its shareholders; or
-
(B) the company’s ability to pay its creditors; or
-
(ii) the assistance is approved by shareholders under section 260B of the Corporations Act (as to which see clause 1.2 below); or
-
(iii) the assistance is exempted under section 260C of the Corporations Act.
Financial assistance is defined very broadly and may include giving security over a company's assets and giving a guarantee and indemnity in respect of another person's liability.
21
Under section 260A(2) of the Corporations Act, the financial assistance may be given before or after the acquisition of shares.
- b) Shareholder approval of financial assistance
For a company to financially assist a person to acquire shares (or units of shares) in itself or a company of which it is a subsidiary, section 260B(1) of the Corporations Act states that the financial assistance must be approved by its shareholders by:
-
(i) a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the company, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by the person acquiring the shares (or units of shares) or by their associates; or
-
(ii) a resolution agreed to, at a general meeting, by all ordinary shareholders.
-
c) Relevant financial assistance
The Company proposes to provide a Limited Recourse Loan to Paul Richard Williamson to facilitate the purchase of the Loan Shares which are proposed to be issued to him. The loan agreement is proposed to contemplate (inter alia) that:
-
(i) the loaned funds must be used for the purchase of the Loan Shares;
-
(ii) no interest is payable on the loaned funds, however default interest is payable to the Company upon any non-repayment (except where the Loan Shares are sold for the Company’s benefit);
-
(iii) repayment of the loan must be made in full upon demand by the Company 5 years from the date on which the Limited Recourse Loan is advanced, or can be repaid earlier;
-
(iv) any and all dividends and distributions payable on the Loan Shares will be paid to the Company until repayment of the loan in full;
-
(v) upon the occurrence of (A) the cessation of Paul Richard Williamson’s employment, (B) a change in control of the Company, or (C) an unremedied breach of the loan by, or any bankruptcy or insolvency event in relation to, Paul Richard Williamson, the Loan Shares may be sold at the direction of the Company and the funds received from the sale retained by the Company to the extent required to satisfy the loan obligations.
The loan agreement contains various other terms considered standard for agreements of this nature.
- d) Reasons for giving the financial assistance
The proposed financial assistance is intended to allow the Company’s senior management to be financially invested in the success of the Company. This is expected to motivate and retain the senior management, and create a commonality of purpose between senior management and the Company. In turn, it is hoped that this incentive structure will benefit Shareholders by motivating senior management to create wealth for shareholders and enable the senior employees to share in the rewards of the success of the Group.
- e) Effect of financial assistance
The giving of the financial assistance is not likely to materially impact on the Company or its creditors as the Company will not be outlaying any funds. However, the Company will be issuing Loan Shares for these purposes, which will (if this Resolution is passed) result in dilution to the Shareholders of approximately 2.63%. Upon passing of Resolution 7, Paul Richard Williamson is expected to hold approximately 2.63% of the Shares.
- f) Advantages and disadvantages of the financial assistance
By way of advantages, it is expected that:
22
-
(i) the issue of Loan Shares to the Directors will significantly improve the Company’s ability to incentivise and retain the Company’s key management personnel;
-
(ii) the Company will not be expending any Company funds in order to make the Limited Recourse Loan to the Director, and instead the funds loaned will be used to pay the Company for the Loan Shares; and
(iii) the issue of Loan Shares, and the making of the proposed Limited Recourse Loan, to the Director will not increase the amount of debt owed by the Company.
It is expected that the main disadvantage of the financial assistance will be that if all Loan Shares are issued (the subject of Resolutions 6 and 7), the maximum dilution of this issue to Shareholders would be approximately 7.50%.
8.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder 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;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Loan Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Loan Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
8.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Loan Shares to Paul Richard Williamson within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Loan Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Loan Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Loan Shares.
8.6 Technical 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 Resolution 7:

-
e) the issue price of the Loan Shares will be equal to the ten-day volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares at the date of issue. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Loan Shares, as it will be providing the Limited Recourse Loan to finance the purchase of the Loan Shares;
-
f) the purpose of the issue of the Loan Shares is to provide a performance linked long-term incentive component in the remuneration package for Paul Richard Williamson to motivate and reward his performance as an Executive Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to Paul Richard Williamson, enabling 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 Paul Richard Williamson;
-
g) the current total remuneration package for Paul Richard Williamson is $200,000 per annum (excluding statutory superannuation), comprising of directors’ fees/salary, together with additional reimbursement benefits, to be reviewed annually by the Board. The Loan Shares (which have been valued as per Schedule 6) have an estimated value of $92,800; and
-
h) the Loan Shares are being issued to Paul Richard Williamson as part of his remuneration package as a long-term incentive, pursuant to an Offer document the terms of which are summarised in Schedule 1.
8.7 Recommendation

9.1 General
This Resolution 8 seeks shareholder approval for the proposed issue of 1,000,000 Options to David Graham Morton, a Director of the Company, (or his nominee) subject to the passing of Resolution 4, on the terms and conditions set out below.
Pursuant to his Letter of Appointment, the Company agreed that subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, David would be granted 1,000,000 options with an exercise price being a 43% premium to the five day volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares (ASX:DLT) at the date of grant, being when approval is given by shareholders (see ASX announcement 29 March 2023).
9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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:
24
-
c) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
d) 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 Options to David Graham Morton constitutes giving a financial benefit and David Graham Morton is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than David Graham Morton who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Options because the agreement to issue the Options is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
9.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder 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;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 8 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
9.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to David Graham Morton within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options.
9.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

-
g) the current total remuneration package for David Graham Morton is $54,000 per annum (including statutory superannuation), comprising of directors’ fees/salary, together with additional reimbursement benefits.

If Resolution 13 is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC in order to effect the name change. The change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.
Upon receipt of the new name certificate, the Company will notify ASX of the name change and trading under the new name and new ASX Code will commence within a few days of notification. Shortly after the name change, the Company’s Share Registry will issue new holdings statements to all Shareholders.

In addition, holders of Loan Shares will be entitled to participate in dividends declared and paid by the Company in accordance with the Company's constitution, provided that any dividends declared with respect to the Loan Shares, whilst there is still remaining any portion of the Limited Recourse Loan unpaid, shall first be applied and paid to the Company in reduction of the outstanding Limited Recourse Loan balance until that outstanding Limited Recourse Loan balance is zero, before it is paid in cash to, or for any other benefit of, the Participant.
The Loan Shares will be held in escrow and subject to a holding lock for a period of 2 years from the date of issue.

SCHEDULE 3: TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS
(a) Entitlement
Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the Option.
(b) Exercise Price
The Options have an exercise price being a 43% premium to the five day volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares (ASX:DLT) at the date of grant being when approval is given by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting at which the option approvals are being sought ( Exercise Price ).
(c)
Expiry Date
Each Option will expire at 5:00pm (WST) on 24 May 2027 ( Expiry Date ). An Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Expiry Date.
(d)
Vesting Dates
One third of the Options will vest on 1 July 2023 and the remaining two thirds of the Options will vest over the next eight quarters in equal tranches starting on 1 October 2023 and ending on 1 July 2025 ( Vesting Dates ) unless the Board (acting reasonably) waives the applicable Vesting Dates and determines that the Options vest immediately.
(e)
Acceleration
If:
-
(i) the Company enters into a scheme of arrangement with its members or any class thereof pursuant to section 411 of the Corporations Act;
-
(ii) a Takeover Period (given the meaning set out below) commences;
-
(iii) a person or a group of associated persons having a relevant interest in, subsequent to the grant of the Options, sufficient Shares to give it or them the ability in general meeting to replace all or a majority of the Board in circumstances where such ability was not already held by a person associated with such person or group of associated persons;
-
(iv) any person or corporation having a relevant interest in not less than 90% of the Shares of the Company issues a notice of meeting convening a meeting of shareholders in order to enter into a scheme of arrangement (pursuant to the provisions of the Corporations Act) which, if implemented would result in a person or corporation having a relevant interest in not less than 90% of the Shares; or
-
(v) the Board forms the view (acting reasonably) that one of the events set out in (i) – (iv) is likely to occur,),
then the Board may declare an Option to be free of any conditions of vesting and exercise.
Options which are so declared free of any restrictions on vesting and exercise may be exercised at any time before the Expiry Date.
For the purposes of this item (e), a Takeover Period means in relation to a takeover bid in respect of Shares, the period referred to in section 624 of the Corporations Act, provided that where a takeover bid is publicly announced prior to the service of a bidder's statement on the Company in relation to that takeover bid, the takeover period shall be deemed to have commenced at the time of that announcement.
39
(f) Exercise Period
-
(i) All unvested Options will expire on termination of employment for any reason whatsoever, unless the Board makes a determination (in its absolute discretion) that:
-
(A) the employee’s performance during the term; and
-
(B) the circumstances of the termination of the employment,
are such that all unvested Options on the date of termination will continue to vest according the Vesting Dates above and only expire on the Expiry Date.
- (ii) An Option may only be exercised at any time after any applicable Vesting Date and prior to the Expiry Date.
(g)
Notice of Exercise
The Options may be exercised during the Exercise Period by notice in writing to the Company ( Notice of Exercise ) and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in Australian currency by electric funds transfer or other means of payment acceptable to the Company. Any Notice of Exercise of an Option received by the Company will be deemed to be effective notice of the exercise of that Option on and from the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the receipt of the full amount of the Exercise Price for each Option exercised in cleared funds.
The Options may only be exercised in multiples of 10,000 on each occasion.
(h) Shares issued on exercise
Shares issued on exercise of the Options will rank equally with the then issued shares of the Company.
(i) Quotation of Shares on exercise
Application will be made by the Company to ASX for quotation of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options.
(j) Timing of issue of Shares
After the Exercise Date, the Company must, within, five business days:
-
(i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company;
-
(ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act; and
-
(iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, do all such acts, matters and things to obtain the grant of official quotation of the Share on ASX no later than 5 Business Days after issuing the Shares.
If a notice delivered under paragraph (j)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 business days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.
(k) Participation in new issues
40
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will give holders of the Options notice of the proposed issue prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
(l)
Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):
-
(i) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Optionholder would have received if the Optionholder had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and
-
(ii) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.
(m)
Adjustment for entitlement issue
If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the Exercise Price of an Option will be adjusted according to the following formula:
- New exercise price = O – E[P (S+D)] N+1
Where:
O = the old Exercise Price of the Option.
-
E = the number of underlying Shares into which one Option is exercisable.
-
P = average market price per Share weighted by reference to volume of the Company’s Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date of the relevant pro rata issue.
S = the subscription price of a Share under the pro rata issue.
-
D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue).
-
N = the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one Share.
(n)
Adjustments for reorganisation
If there is any reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Optionholder will be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to the reorganisation at the time of the reorganisation.
(o)
Options not quoted
The Company will not apply to ASX for quotation of the Options.
(p)
Options not transferable
The Options will not be transferrable.
41
(q) Lodgement Instructions
Cheques shall be in Australian currency made payable to the Company and crossed "Not Negotiable". The application for shares on exercise of the Options with the appropriate remittance should be lodged at the Company's registered office.
42

SCHEDULE 5: VALUATION OF OPTIONS
A summary of the key terms is set out below:
The Options to be issued to the Related Party pursuant to Resolution 8 have been independently valued.
Using the Hoadley Employee Share Options 2 model, and based on the assumptions set out below, the Options were ascribed the following value:
| Assumption | |
|---|---|
| Valuation date | 6 April 2023 |
| Market price of Shares | 1.1 cents |
| Exercise price | 1.6 cents |
| Expiry date | 4 years from valuation date |
| Risk free interest rate | 2.89% |
| Total number of options | 1,000,000 |

| Total Value of Options Resolution 8 – David Graham Morton |
$5,675 |
Note : The valuation noted above is not necessarily the market price that the Options could be traded at and is not automatically the market price for taxation purposes. The option exercise price may not be 1.6 cents as the exercise price of the Options being proposed for approval will have an exercise price being a 43% premium to the five day volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares (ASX:DLT) at the date of grant being when approval is given by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting at which the option approvals are being sought.
44
SCHEDULE 6: VALUATION OF LIMITED RECOURSE LOAN SHARES
A summary of the key terms is set out below:
The shares and limited recourse loans to be issued to the Related Parties pursuant to Resolutions 6 and 7 have been independently valued as a combined instrument, which approximates a Share Option.
Using the Hoadley Employee Share Options 2 model, and based on the assumptions set out below, the combination of the shares and limited recourse loans were ascribed the following value:
| Assumption | |
|---|---|
| Valuation date | 11 April 2023 |
| Market price of Shares | 1.1 cents |
| Exercise price of theoretical equivalent share option |
1.1 cents |
| Expiry date | 5 years from valuation date |
| Risk free interest rate | 3.01% |
| Expected future volatility | 95% |
| Vesting date of theoretical equivalent share option |
2 years from valuation date |

| Total Value of loan funded shares - Resolution 6 – Christopher Clark |
$185,600 |
| Total Value of loan funded shares - Resolution 7 – Paul Richard Williamson |
$92,800 |
Note : The valuation noted above is not necessarily the price that the loan funded shares will be issued at and is not automatically the market price for taxation purposes. The share issue price may not be 1.1 cents as the issue price of the shares being proposed for approval will be the ten day volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares (ASX:DLT) at the date of issue.
