Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

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

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

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1A Placement Shares will be included in the Company's 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1A Placement Shares.

4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in relation to Resolution 1 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

P a g e | 12

If Resolution 2 or 3 is passed, the relevant Tranche 1B Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, respectively, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue of the relevant Tranche 1B Placement Shares.

If Resolution 2 or 3 is not passed, the relevant Tranche 1B Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, respectively, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue of the relevant Tranche 1B Placement Shares.

The Company is proposing to issue:

The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares pursuant to Resolutions 4 and 5 does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 (and it exceeds the Company's 15% Placement Capacity). Therefore, it requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

In addition, the Tranche 2 Placement Shares 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 Resolution 4 or 5 is not passed, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will not be able to proceed and the Company may need to find alternatives ways to raise capital.

  • 6.4 Board Recommendation

7 Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 – Related Party Participation in the Tranche 2 Placement

7.1 General

Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act (including section 208 of the Corporations Act) and for all other purposes to issue (in aggregate) up to 1,500,000 Shares to certain Directors, comprising:

  • (a) 357,143 Shares to Mr Stephen Dennis (and/or his nominee(s)) – non-executive Chairperson;

  • (b) 714,286 Shares to Mr Nathan Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)) – non-executive Director; and

  • (c) 428,571 Shares to Mr Matthew Hogan (and/or his nominee(s)) – non-executive Director,

under the Tranche 2 Placement (together, the Related Party Shares ).

The Related Party Shares will be offered at the same issue price as the Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement (being $0.14 per Share), to raise up to $210,000 (before costs).

Refer to Section 3.1 for further details on the Placement.

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of Shares to a related party. Messrs Dennis, Stoitis and Hogan are each Directors and are therefore related parties of the Company.

The issues of the Related Party Shares do not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 and are therefore conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 6, 7 and 8).

Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 are ordinary resolutions.

P a g e | 15

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 6, 7 and 8.

7.2 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 of the Related Party Shares constitutes the giving of a financial benefit and Mr Stephen Dennis (non-executive Chairperson), Mr Nathan Stoitis (non-executive Director) and Mr Matthew Hogan (non-executive Director) are each Directors and are therefore related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

There is no quorum of the Board capable forming the view that the exception for dealing on arm's length terms in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies, due to Messrs Dennis, Stoitis and Hogan having an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 6, 7 and 8. Accordingly, the Board has determined to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act for Resolutions 6, 7 and 8.

7.3

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:

  • (a) a related party;

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

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six 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;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains shareholder approval.

The issue of the Related Party Shares to Messrs Dennis, Stoitis and Hogan (and/or their respective nominee(s)) falls within paragraph (a) above (being Listing Rule 10.11.1), as Messrs Dennis, Stoitis and Hogan are related parties of the Company, 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 to issue 357,143 Shares to Mr Stephen Dennis (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue 714,286 Shares to Mr Nathan Stoitis (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

Resolution 8 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue 428,571 Shares to Mr Matthew Hogan (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

P a g e | 16

If Resolution 6, 7 or 8 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Related Party Shares to the relevant Director (and/or his nominee(s)) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), the issue of the relevant Related Party Shares 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 Resolution 6, 7 or 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Related Party Shares to the relevant Director (and/or his nominee(s)) and the Company will not be able to raise funds from issuing the Related Party Shares to that Director and may seek to raise them from alternate investors.

7.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
