LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of your Directors, I am pleased to invite you to participate in this renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer of one New Share for one Share held by Eligible Shareholders as at the Record Date, at an issue price of $0.004 per New Share together with 1 free attaching New Option for every 2 New Shares subscribed for under this entitlement offer, to raise approximately $3,176,585 (before costs).
The Directors all intend to participate in the Offer, as do key management personnel of the Company. We also appreciate the underwriting support received which reflects the confidence in the Company and the business' direction.
We welcome and encourage existing and new Shareholders to participate as we build out and optimise this next exciting phase of the Company's expansion – selling our range of food, health and wellness products into a growing number of sales channels and markets focussed on revenue and margin expansion.
RLG already operates online stores in Australia and China, with planning well under way to launch new stores and into new markets during the balance of 2024.
Our Company has been working closely and extensively, identifying and building out new partnerships in China and other markets where we are working with well-established, highly credible businesses seeking quality Australian ingredients for product manufacturing for sale of those products in China and internationally.
Investment in RLG provides diversified exposure to the largest e-commerce market in the world – China (which is nearly 3 x the next biggest market, being the United States of America), and where we are focussed on the food and wellness sector.
China, which forms a segment of RLG's market, is an economy that has doubled in size since 2016 and is forecast to grow at 5% this year and contribute about one-third of the world's growth and is where we sell much of our food, beverage, health and wellness products – including our own food and health brand Vora.
RLG is an e-commerce and digital marketing provider delivering integrated marketing services and ecommerce operations leveraging RLG's cross-cultural expertise in Australia, China, Hong Kong and more broadly across South-East Asia as we look to expand our reach and product mix.
We have achieved $36 million of product sales from our RLG market platforms and the proceeds from this offer will be applied to continuing to optimise sales conversion methods, expansion of sales platforms and geographic reach as we work with our sales channels to target the supply and sale of higher-margin and identified, high demand products.
Our recently announced sales channel partnerships are already making profitable contributions to the business and we look forward to continued growth in these areas of focus.
With the funding we are seeking, our aim is to seize the opportunity in front of us and apply appropriate resources to accelerate our profitable growth and geographic footprint to drive greater value for shareholders.
We look forward to your support and participation in this entitlement offer and please be assured we will apply your investment in a considered and prudent manner to optimise and drive your company's growth.
Thank you for your support to date and we look forward to your continued support.
Yours sincerely
Grant Pestell

Section 1 DETAILS OF THE OFFER
1.1 Offer
This Prospectus invites Eligible Shareholders to participate in a pro-rata renounceable issue of 1 New Share for every 1 Share held by those Eligible Shareholders registered at the Record Date at an issue price of $0.004 per New Share together with 1 free attaching New Option for every 2 New Shares subscribed for, exercisable at $0.01 on or before 18 September 2026, to raise up to approximately $3,176,585 (less expenses of the Offer).
The Lead Manager and Underwriter is Mahe Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 634 087 684) (Mahe). The Lead Manager and Underwriter has agreed to underwrite the Offer by subscribing for Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options up to the value of $1,500,000. Please refer to Section 1.22 for more information.
Mr Terence Leung, Non-Executive Director of the Company has agreed to sub-underwrite the Offer to the amount of $200,000. Additionally, all Directors have committed to participate in the Offer.
As at the date of this Prospectus the Company has on issue 794,146,368 Shares, 34,807,691 Unlisted Options (of which 4,807,691 are vested) and 101,500,001 Performance Rights (none of which have vested).
Holders of Options and Performance Rights will not be entitled to participate in the Offer. However, holders of vested Options and (to the extent applicable) vested Performance Rights may (as applicable) exercise or convert their Options or Performance Rights prior to the Record Date if they are an Eligible Shareholder and wish to participate in the Offer.
If all of the vested Unlisted Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the Company's cash funds will increase by an additional amount of approximately $240,384.55 from the exercise of these Unlisted Options and this Prospectus will (subject to eligibility) also offer to those Shareholders a further maximum of approximately 4,807,691 New Shares and 2,403,845 New Options to raise an additional amount of approximately $19,230.76 from the issue of New Shares. The Directors consider it unlikely that any of the vested Unlisted Options will be converted to Shares before the Record Date given the exercise price of all Unlisted Options is higher than the offer price of New Shares under the Offer. The Directors also do not consider it likely that any of the Performance Rights will vest prior to the Record Date.
Use of Funds Full Subscription ($) Costs of Offer (estimated)1 $191,765 General Working Capital $240,000 Debt Restructure $1,200,000 Company sales Channel Opening and Product Expansion $1,544,820 Total $3,176,585
The funds raised will be applied towards the following:
1 Please refer to Section 4.8 for further details related to the estimated expenses of the Offer.
The above-proposed use of funds is a statement of present intention as at the date of this Prospectus
and is subject to ongoing review and evaluation by the Company.
If the Company raises less than the Full Subscription column of the use of funds table above, then the funds raised will be applied proportionately to the activities of the Company set out under the Full Subscription column of the use of funds table above.
Any additional funds raised from the participation of Shareholders in the Offer as a result of the exercise of any of the 4,807,691 vested Unlisted Options, which may be up to approximately $240,384.55 (assuming all vested Unlisted Options are exercised, and Shares are issued, prior to the Record Date), will be applied proportionately to the activities of the Company set out under the Full Subscription column of the "Use of Funds" table above. As at the date of this Prospectus, the applicable exercise prices for the vested Unlisted Options are higher than the price at which the Shares are currently trading on ASX and, accordingly, the Directors consider that it is unlikely any of those vested Unlisted Options will be exercised by their holders prior to the Record Date.
1.2 Opening and Closing Dates
The Offer will open on Thursday, 5 September 2024 and close at 3pm (WST) on the Closing Date or such later date as the Directors, in their absolute discretion and subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, may determine. You should be aware your own financial institution may implement earlier cutoff times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure funds submitted through BPAY® are received by no later than 3:00pm (WST) on the Closing Date. The Company will not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays or delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement.
1.3 Entitlement to Offer
Eligible Shareholders who are recorded on the Company's Share register at 3pm (WST) on the Record Date are eligible to participate in the Offer. An Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out your Entitlement to New Shares can be accessed from www.computersharecas.com.au/rlgoffer.
1.4 Actions required
As an Eligible Shareholder you may:
- (a) take up all of your Entitlement (refer to Section 1.5);
- (b) take up all of your Entitlement (refer to Section 1.5) and apply for Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options under the Shortfall Offer (refer to Section 1.6);

1.5 Take up all of your Entitlement
If you wish to accept all of your Entitlement, then applications for New Shares and New Options under this Prospectus must be made on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which can be accessed from www.computersharecas.com.au/rlgoffer and by completing a BPAY® payment, in accordance with the instructions referred to in this Prospectus and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the CRN specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings as this can result in your Application Monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result being any application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).
Please refer to section 1.9 for further information.
1.6 Take up all of your Entitlement and apply for Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer
If you wish to accept all of your Entitlement and apply for Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options under the Shortfall Offer, then applications for Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options under this Prospectus must be made on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which can be accessed from www.computersharecas.com.au/rlgoffer and by completing a BPAY® payment, in accordance with the instructions referred to in this Prospectus and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse, please complete the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of New Shares you wish to take up and follow the steps in Section 1.5.
If you take no further action, the balance of your Entitlement will lapse and you will have forfeited any potential benefit to be gained from taking up or selling that part of your Entitlement.
1.8 Allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse
If you do not wish to take up your Entitlement under the Offer, you are not required to take any action. You will receive no benefit, New Shares or New Options and your Entitlement will become available as Shortfall Shares and Shortfall Options.
If you want to take up part of your Entitlement and wish to receive a benefit, you must take action to accept part of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions above and on the back of the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form which can be accessed from www.computersharecas.com.au/rlgoffer.

If you wish to sell or transfer all or part of your Entitlement to another person or party other than onmarket through ASX, you can obtain a Standard Renunciation and Acceptance Form online at www.computersharecas.com.au/rlgoffer. Both the transferor and the transferee must be issuer sponsored. If either party is CHESS sponsored, they will need to arrange the transfer of rights through their sponsoring broker. The transferee must submit payment by EFT in accordance with the instructions provided, so that the completed Standard Renunciation and Acceptance Form and payment is received by the Share Registry no later than 3pm Wednesday, 18 September 2024.
1.11 Payment by BPAY®
Before accepting your Entitlement, please read this Prospectus and your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in each case in its entirety. The Company encourages you to seek appropriate professional advice if necessary.
Please follow the instructions on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.
When paying by BPAY®, please make sure you use the specific Biller Code and your unique CRN on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which can be accessed from www.computersharecas.com.au/rlgoffer.

If you do not use the correct CRN specific to that Shareholding, your Application will not be recognised as valid.
Please note that by paying by BPAY®:
- you do not need to submit your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make the declarations, authorisations, representations and warranties on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form and in Section 1.13;
- if you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies; and
- If you pay for more than your full Entitlement, any amount in excess of the Offer price multiplied by your Entitlement will be treated as an Application to apply for as many Shortfall Shares as your Application Monies will pay for in full (subject to the terms of the Offer).
It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than 3.00pm (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration in the timing of when you make payment.
If you are unable to pay by BPAY®, please contact the Company on +61 8 6444 1702 or by [email protected].
1.12 Entitlement and Acceptance Form binding
A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form or making a BPAY® payment constitutes a binding application to acquire New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Prospectus and, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn. If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly, it may still be treated as a valid application for New Shares. The Directors' decision whether to treat an application as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final.
1.13 Eligible Shareholder representations and warranties

1.27 Appointment of Nominee
As the Offer is renounceable and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.7.1(c), the Company will appoint the Lead Manager and Underwriter as nominee to arrange for the sale of Entitlements that would have been given to Ineligible Shareholders and to account to them for the net proceeds of the sale.
The Lead Manager and Underwriter will not be paid a fee in respect of its role as nominee although the Lead Manager and Underwriter will be paid brokerage on the sale of the ineligible Entitlements and the fees as set out in Section 4.8 with respect of its role as Lead Manager and Underwriter of the Offer.
The Company has agreed to allot to the Lead Manager and Underwriter, or its nominee company, the Entitlements which would have otherwise been issued to Ineligible Shareholders as if they were able to participate in the Offer.
The Lead Manager and Underwriter will, during the Rights Trading Period, offer the Entitlements for sale on the market conducted by ASX as soon as is reasonably practicable following their allotment.
The sale of the Entitlements will be made in the first instance in the ordinary course of trading on ASX at the prevailing market price. If there is no market price for all or some of the Entitlements on ASX, the Lead Manager and Underwriter may sell all or some of the Entitlements off-market. The net proceeds of these sales, after deducting the reasonable costs associated with the sale will be provided to the Company for the benefit of the Ineligible Shareholders.
Subject to receiving the net proceeds of from the sale of Entitlements from the Lead Manager and Underwriter (if any) the Company will distribute those funds to each Ineligible Shareholder, pro rata, in Australian currency. If all of the Entitlements of the Ineligible Shareholders are sold this would result in each Ineligible Shareholder receiving the average price of the Entitlements sold on behalf of the Ineligible Shareholders during the Rights Trading Period. The amount received by each Ineligible Shareholder will be reduced to the extent that the Ineligible Shareholders' Entitlements cannot be sold during the Rights Trading Period.

Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Securityholder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship. This information will be included in the monthly statements provided to holders when there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

Section 3 RISK FACTORS
3.1 Introduction
This Section 3 identifies the areas the Directors regard as the main risks associated with an investment in the Company. There are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There is also a range of specific risks associated with the Company's business. These risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company. The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the main risk factors which the Directors consider potential investors need to be aware of.
3.2 Company specific risks
(a) Capital requirements
The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to obtain financing through debt and equity means, or generating sufficient cash flows from future operations. There is a risk that the Company may not be able to access capital from debt or equity markets for future projects or developments, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business and financial condition.
The Company's ability to borrow money will be subject to the availability of debt at the time the Company wishes to borrow money and the cost of borrowing.
(b) Exchange rates
The income and expenditure of the Company can and often will be accounted for in United States dollars and other currencies, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between these currencies and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
(c) Reliance on key management
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management, each of whom has knowledge and experience of the Company's products and services that cannot be replicated by others in the short term. The CEO and management may, subject to the relevant periods of notice specified in their employment agreements with the Company, terminate their employment relationship with the Company at any time and the loss of any member of the senior management team could harm the Company's business.
The Company will need to hire new technical and sales personnel as the business grows. Competition for such personnel is intense and any shortage of availability of the required skills could impair the development of the Company's business and the rate of such development. Such shortage could also cause wage inflation, which may impact on the Company's financial position and financial performance.
(d) Contract risks
The Company's subsidiaries may operate through a series of contractual relationships with operators and sub-contractors. All contracts carry risks associated with the performance by the parties thereto of their obligations as to time and quality of work performed. Any disruption to services or supply may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company's operations.
(e) Regulatory risk
The Directors anticipate that the Company will continue to have operations in a number of overseas jurisdictions and will be exposed to a range of different legal and regulatory regimes. This will give rise to risks relating to labour practices, foreign ownership restrictions, tax regulation, difficulty in enforcing contracts, and other issues. Possible sovereign risks include (without limitation) changes in legislation, a shift in political attitude, changes in economic and social conditions, political instability, the imposition of operating restrictions, government participation, changes to taxation rates and/or concessions, exchange control, licensing, duties or imposts, repatriation of income, or return of capital. Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial performance and financial position of the Company.
(f) Litigation risk
The Company is subject to litigation risks. All industries, including the technology industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation processes, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company is or may become subject could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or the Company's activities.
(g) Taxation risk
Any change in laws and regulations applicable to the taxation of income, intercompany transactions, withholding taxes, levies and other transactional taxes affecting the Company in the countries it operates in or in which it is listed, or any change in the current interpretation or any disputes with tax authorities or any changes to the Company's income mix, may adversely affect its tax status and increase its tax payable, which would have a negative effect on financial results.
(h) Employment law risk
From time to time, the Company may receive claims from former employees for a variety of labour related matters which may or may not have merit. The Company's general approach is to defend these claims as they arise. As with any litigation the outcome of any claim will not be known until heard by the court. Any claim which is not able to be successfully defended may result in a loss to the Company.
3.3 Technology and intellectual property
(a) Controls on the Company's intellectual property
The Company's intellectual property includes its software development and proprietary technology, knowledge base of business operations (including user, industry and market behaviours), customer records and the experience of its management team and workforce. The Company proposes to maintain strict security and monitoring of its software code and customer records, including protection and restriction on physical access.
(b) Unauthorised use of intellectual property
Despite best efforts to the contrary, the Company cannot be certain that third parties will not make unauthorised use of intellectual property relevant to the Company's business to the detriment of the Company, its operations and business. In addition, there can be no guarantee that unauthorised use or copying of the Company's software, data or specialised technology will be prevented. Any unauthorised use, access or copying of the Company's intellectual property could impact adversely on the Company's financial position and financial performance.
(c) Inability to protect intellectual property rights
Legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain, particularly in developing economies around the world. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available to the Company in every country in which it may eventually operate. Accordingly, despite its efforts, the Company may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating its intellectual property.
The Company intends to pursue intellectual property protection for technologies it develops in future. However there is a risk that the Company will be unable to register or otherwise protect new intellectual property it develops in the future, or which is developed on its behalf by contractors.
In addition, competitors may be able to work around the intellectual property rights relied on by the Company, or independently develop technologies or competing products or services that do not infringe the Company's intellectual property rights. Those competitors may then be able to offer services that are very similar to or otherwise competitive against those provided by the Company and this could adversely affect the Company's business.
(d) Costs of enforcing intellectual property rights
The Company may be required to incur significant expense in monitoring and protecting its intellectual property rights. It may initiate or otherwise be involved in litigation against third parties for infringement, or to establish the validity, of its rights. Any litigation, whether or not it is successful, could result in significant expense to the Company and cause a distraction to management.
In addition, monitoring unauthorised use of the Company's intellectual property is difficult and may require the commitment of a large amount of financial resources. As a result, the Company may be unable to detect the unauthorised use of its intellectual property rights.
(e) Challenges to the Company's intellectual property rights
There is a risk that the validity, ownership or authorised use of intellectual property relevant to the Company's business may be challenged by third parties. While this could involve significant expense, it could also result in the Company being unable to use the intellectual property in question, either temporarily or permanently. If an alternative cost-effective solution is not available, it may materially adversely impact the Company's financial position and performance.
Such disputes may also temporarily or permanently adversely impact the Company's ability to develop its software and systems and this may adversely impact the Company's revenue and profitability.
(f) Source Code
The Company owns the copyright in the source code at the heart of its technology. If the source code is made available to third parties it may be misappropriated and used in competition with the Company's products and services and this may have an adverse effect on the Group's financial position. It may be difficult for the Company to discover whether a third party has misappropriated and used the source code and it may be expensive for the Company to enforce its rights with respect to its source code. The Company has a policy regarding the use of, and maintaining the secrecy of, its source code and ensures that its staff and contractors are bound by that policy.
(g) Intellectual property infringement claims from third parties
There is a risk that other parties may develop substantially similar products, processes or technologies to those used by the Company and the Company may be subject to claims from time to time that it has infringed a third party's intellectual property rights. If such claims are substantiated, injunctions may be granted against the Company which could adversely affect the operation of its products, and have a negative impact on its business.
The Company does not believe that it is currently infringing any third party's intellectual property rights and, to date, no third party has asserted that the Company is infringing their intellectual property rights.
(h) Developing technology
The Company's future business prospects will depend on its ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes. The Company's prospects will also depend on its ability to develop and protect technology that meets changing market needs and addresses the technological advances and competitiveness of other companies operating in the markets targeted by the Company. There is also a risk that new products or technologies developed by third parties will supersede the Company's technology.
The Company may not be able to successfully respond to new technological developments or identify and respond to new market opportunities, products or services offered by its competitors. In addition, the Company's efforts to respond to technological innovations may require significant capital investments and resources. Failure to keep up with future technological changes or to identify opportunities for use of the Company's technology could have an adverse effect on the value and prospects of the Company and its technology.
(i) Security breaches and data protection issues
The Company collects a wide range of confidential information. Cyber-attacks may compromise or breach the technology the Company uses to protect confidential information.
Despite its efforts, there is a risk that the Company's security measures may not be sufficient to detect or prevent unauthorised access to, or disclosure of, confidential information held by the Company. Data security breaches could result in the loss of information integrity or breaches of the Company's obligations under applicable laws and agreements. This could lead to increased security costs and a slower take up of the Company's products and services by customers, and may adversely impact the Company's reputation, value, and financial performance.
3.4 General risks
(a) Securities investments
Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the Shares trade may be above or below the issue price and may fluctuate in response to a number of factors. Further, the stock market has experienced price and volume fluctuations. There can be no guarantee trading prices will not be subject to fluctuation. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Shares, regardless of the Company's operational performance.
(b) Share market conditions
The market price of the Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(c) Economic risk
Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption in any of the areas in which the Company operates, the rate of growth of gross domestic product, interest rates and the rate of inflation.
(d) Policies and legislation
Any material adverse changes in government policies or legislation of Australia, the United States or any other country in which the Company has economic interests may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.
(e) Investment speculative
The above risk factors ought not to be taken as an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company or by prospective investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares(and, if applicable, Shortfall Shares) offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the New Shares (and, if applicable, Shortfall Shares) to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee for the payment of dividends, returns of capital or their market value. Prospective investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for New Shares or Shortfall Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

4.4 Rights attaching to New Shares
The New Shares to be issued under the Offer pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares. Full details of the rights attaching to the Shares are set out in the Company's Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected at the Company's registered office. The following is a summary of the principal rights which attach to the Shares:
(a) Voting
Every holder of Shares present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of Shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands, and, on a poll every holder of Shares who is present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has:
- (i) one vote for every fully paid Share held by him or her; and
- (ii) a fraction of one vote for each partly paid up Share held by him or her.
A poll may be demanded by the chairman of the meeting, by at least two Shareholders entitled to vote on the particular resolution present in person, or by any one or more Shareholders who are together entitled to not less than 5% of the total voting rights of the Shares held by all Shareholders who have the right to vote on the resolution.
(b) Dividends
The Directors may determine that dividends are payable on Shares. New Shareholders will be entitled to dividends as a result of ownership of their New Shares (or, if applicable, Shortfall Shares) in accordance with the Constitution.
(c) Further issue of securities
Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors may allot, grant options over, or otherwise dispose of shares in the Company at the times and on the terms the Directors think fit but the Company will not issue any share with a voting right more advantageous than that available to any share previously issued by the Company. A share may be issued with a preferential or special right.
(d) Transfer of Shares
A Shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating dealings in Shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the Directors.
The Directors may refuse to register any transfer of Shares, (other than a market transfer) where the Company is permitted or required to do so by the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. The Company must not prevent, delay or interfere with the generation of a proper market transfer in a manner which is contrary to the provisions of any of the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
(e) Meetings and notice
Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings for the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
(f) Liquidation rights
A liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of Shareholders:
- (i) distribute among the Shareholders the whole or any part of the remaining property of the Company; and
- (ii) decide how to distribute the property as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may vest the whole or any part of the assets in trust for the benefit of Shareholders as the liquidator thinks fit, but no Shareholder can be compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(g) Alteration and reduction of capital
The Company may, by resolution, alter its capital in any manner permitted by law and subject to the Corporations Act, the Company may by special resolution reduce its capital.
(h) Indemnities
Subject to the Corporations Act, the Company must indemnify each past and present officer against liability incurred by that person as an officer of the Company and any legal costs incurred in defending an action in respect of such liability.
(i) Shareholder liability
As the New Shares and any Shortfall Shares offered under the Prospectus are fully paid Shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(j) Alteration to the Constitution
The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. At least 28 days' written notice, specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
(k) Listing Rules
Despite anything in the Constitution, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Similarly, nothing in the Constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done. If the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be). If the Listing Rules require the Constitution to contain a provision or not to contain a provision the Constitution is deemed to contain that provision or not to contain that provision (as the case may be). If a provision of the Constitution is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.
4.5 Rights attaching to New Options
The New Options intended to be granted under this Prospectus will be granted under the following terms and conditions:
(a) Entitlements
Each New Option entitles the holder to subscribe for 1 Share upon exercise of each New Option.
(b) Exercise price and end date
The exercise price for each New Option is $0.01 (Exercise Price) and the end date of each New Option is Tuesday, 27 September 2026.
(c) Exercise period
New Options are exercisable at any time after they are issued and on or prior to 5pm (WST) on their end date.
(d) Notice of exercise
New Options may be exercised by notice in writing to the Company (Notice of Exercise) and payment of the exercise price for each New Option being exercised. Any Notice of Exercise of a New Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that New Option as at the date of receipt.
(e) Shares issued on exercise
Shares issued on exercise of the New Options rank equally with all other Shares.
(f) 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 New Options.
(g) Timing of issue of Shares
After a New Option is validly exercised, the Company must, as soon as possible following receipt of the Notice of Exercise and receipt of cleared funds equal to the sum payable on the exercise of the New Option:
- issue and allot the Share; and
- do all such things necessary to obtain the grant of official quotation of the Share on ASX no later than 5 Business Days after issuing the Share.
(h) Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the New Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least five business days after the issue is announced. This will give the holders of New Options the opportunity to exercise their New Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
(i) 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 a New Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the New Option holder would have received if the New Option holder had exercised the New Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and
- (ii) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.
(j) Adjustments for reorganisation
If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the New Option holders will if required be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction.
(k) Quotation of New Options
Application will be made by the Company to ASX for quotation of the New Options.
(l) New Options transferable
New Options are transferable provided the transfer of the New Options complies with section 707(3) of the Corporations Act.
