EXPLA NATO R Y STAT EMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 6
1.1 Background to November Placement
On 3 November 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from investors for approximately $4 million (before costs) through the issue of an aggregate of 266,666,667 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.015 (1.5 cents) per Share ( Placement ).
The Placement will be conducted in two tranches. For the first tranche of the Placement:
-
(a) 131,328,485 Placement Shares were issued on 11 November 2025 pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( November Placement Shares ), this being the subject of ratification in Resolution 1; and
-
(b) 90,138,182 Placement Shares were issued on 11 November 2025 pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A ( November Placement Shares ), this being the subject of ratification in Resolution 2.
For the second tranche of the Placement, it is intended that:
-
(a) up to 35,866,670 Placement Shares will be issued to unrelated participants in the Placement, subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 3; and
-
(b) up to 9,333,330 Placement Shares will be issued to the Directors participating in the Placement to raise up to $140,000, comprising:
-
i. up to 7,333,331 Placement Shares to Mr David Morton subject to Shareholder approval in Resolution 4;
-
ii. up to 666,666 Placement Shares to Mr Christopher Clark subject to Shareholder approval in Resolution 5; and
-
iii. up to 1,333,333 Placement Shares to Mr Paul Williamson subject to Shareholder approval in Resolution 6,
(together, the Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).
1.2 Lead Manager
The Company engaged the services of Morgans Corporate Limited (ACN 010 539 607) ( Morgans ) to act as the sole Lead Manager to the Placement pursuant to a Lead Manager Mandate ( Mandate ).
Pursuant to the Mandate, in consideration for lead manager services provided, the Company agreed to pay Morgans a capital raising fee of 6% (plus GST) of the gross proceeds raised under the Placement.
The Mandate contains various further terms which are considered standard for an agreement of this type.
1.3 Use of Funds
The funds raised from the Placement are intended to be used for the following purposes:
7
-
(a) CAPEX and inventory for xBot® units;
-
(b) Additional sales and deployment support;
-
(c) Software development for Skylink and SiteTube; and
-
(d) Working capital and offer costs.
2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 - RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF NOVEMBER PLACEMENT SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1 AND LISTING RULE 7.1A
2.1 General
The background to the Placement is detailed in sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 above.
2.2
Listing Rules
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 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% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 30 May 2025.
The issue of the November Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing 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 date of the issue.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where an entity in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby “refreshing” the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. A note to Listing Rule 7.4 also provides it can also be used to ratify a previous issue of securities made with approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.
By ratifying the issue of the November Placement Shares, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future within the limits of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A up to its 25% capacity without needing to seek further Shareholder approval.
Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of the November Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 in order to retain as the flexibility to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
The issue of the November Placement Shares was in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A and therefore did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time the issue occurred.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is approved, the prior issue of 131,328,485 November Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue of the November Placement Shares.
If this Resolution 1 is not approved, the prior issue of 131,328,485 November Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue of the November Placement Shares.
8
If Resolution 2 is approved, the prior issue of 90,138,182 November Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue of the November Placement Shares.
If this Resolution 2 is not approved, the prior issue of 90,138,182 November Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue of the November Placement Shares.
2.4 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4:
| Listing Rule | Details |
|---|---|
| 7.5.1 | Professional and sophisticated investors who were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Morgans seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company. For the purposes of paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company notes that neither a related party of the Company, nor any member of the Company’s key management personnel, substantial holder in the Company, or adviser to the Company, or any associate of any of these, has taken up more than 1% of the Company’s issued capital at the time of the November Placement. |
| 7.5.2 | A total of 221,466,667 November Placement Securities were issued as follows: (a) 131,328,485 November Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 1); and (b) 90,138,182 November Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (the subject of Resolution 2). |
| 7.5.3 | The November Placement Shares were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. |
| 7.5.4 | The November Placement Securities were issued on 11 November 2025. |
| 7.5.5 | The November Placement Shares were issued at $0.015 (1.5 cents) per November Placement Share. |
| 7.5.6 | Funds raised from the Placement are intended to be used for the following purposes: (a) CAPEX and inventory for xBot® units; (b) Additional sales and deployment support; (c) Software development for Skylink and SiteTube; and (d) Working capital and offer costs. |
| 7.5.7 | The November Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement. |
| 7.5.8 | A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 1 and 2 is included above in this Notice of Meeting. |

2.5 Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
The Chair of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES
3.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 35,866,670 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to professional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.015 per Share to raise up to $538,000.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2 which excludes from the restrictions in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the holders of its ordinary securities approving the issue under Listing Rule 7.1 before the issue is made. The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company will be required to look at alternative pathways to raise capital. Consequently, the total amount raised under the Placement will decrease by $538,000, meaning the Company will not be able to proceed with its stated intentions in section 1.3 above.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
| REQUIRED INFORMATION |
DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified/selected |
Professional and sophisticated investors who were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Morgans seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company. For the purposes of paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company notes that neither a related party of the Company, nor any member of the Company’s key management personnel, substantial holder in the Company, or adviser to the Company, or any associate of any of these, has taken up more than 1% of the Company’s issued capital at the time of the November Placement. |
| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
Up to 35,866,670 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued. |
| Terms of Securities | The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |

3.4 Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
The Chair of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
4. RESOLUTIONS 4, 5 AND 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SHARES TO DIRECTORS
4.1 General
Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 seeks Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of 9,333,330 Placement Shares to Mr David Morton, Mr Christopher Clark and Mr Paul Williamson (or their nominee(s)), to enable their participation in the Company’s capital raising activities on the same terms as unrelated participants.
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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 constitutes giving financial benefits, and each of Mr Morton, Mr Clark and Mr Williamson are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
It is considered that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Morton, Mr Clark and Mr Williamson (or their nominee(s)) on the same terms as Placement Shares issued to non-related party participants in the capital raising and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
4.3 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;
11
-
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 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.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.5. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Shares to Directors and no further funds will be raised. Consequently, the total amount raised under the Placement will decrease by $140,000 and the Directors will not participate in the Placement.
4.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
| REQUIRED INFORMATION |
DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Name of the person to whom Securities will be issued |
