E X PL A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T
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 4 TO 7
1.1 Placement
On 9 September 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement to unrelated professional and sophisticated investors ( Unrelated Placement Participants ), as well as Directors Michael Smith, Matthew Banks, Peter Venn and Peter Harold ( Related Party Participants ), to raise $7,000,000 through the issue of 280,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) at $0.025 per Share ( Placement ).
The Placement will be completed in two tranches, comprising:
-
(a) ( Tranche 1 ) 200,000,000 Shares which were issued to Unrelated Placement Participants on 15 September 2025, comprising:
-

-
(ii) 10,200,000 Shares to be issued to Related Party Participants (or their nominee(s)), subject to obtaining Shareholder approval under Resolutions 4 to 7.
1.2 Joint Lead Managers
On or about 29 August 2025, the Company entered into a mandate with Wilsons Corporate Finance Limited (ACN 057 547 323) and MST Financial Services Pty Ltd (ACN 617 475 180) (together, the Joint Lead Managers ) pursuant to which the Joint Lead Managers were engaged by the Company to act as the joint lead managers and book runners to the Placement ( JLM Mandate ).
The material terms and conditions of the JLM Mandate are summarised below:
-
(a) Fees: Under the JLM Mandate, the Joint Lead Managers will receive, in their respective proportions (50:50):
-
(i) a management fee of 6% of the total value of capital raised under the Placement (excluding the total value of capital raised from investors introduced by the Company under the Placement); and
-
(ii) a management fee of 2% of the total value of capital raised from investors introduced by the Company under the Placement.
-
(b) Reimbursement of Expenses: The Company agrees to reimburse the Joint Lead Managers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any applicable GST) incurred by the Joint Lead Managers in connection with the Placement.
-
(c) Termination: The Joint Lead Managers may, by notice to the Company, terminate the JLM Mandate if a termination event occurs under the JLM Mandate, including but not limited to:

3865-05/3780371_4

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES
2.1 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 200,000,000 Shares to the Unrelated Placement Participants (or their nominee(s)).
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month 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 28 November 2024.
The issue 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 Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 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.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the
6
3865-05/3780371_4
number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5 in respect of these Resolutions

3.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 69,800,000 Shares to the Unrelated Placement Participants (or their nominee(s)).
3.2 Listing Rules 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 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.
7
3865-05/3780371_4
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and as such will not raise the further $1,745,000 under Tranche 2 of the Placement.

| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected |

| Summary of material terms of agreement to issue |
The Shares will not be issued pursuant to an agreement. |
| Voting Exclusion Statement | A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. |
4. RESOLUTIONS 4 - 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES
4.1 General
To enable the Directors to participate in the Company’s Placement on the same terms as the Unrelated Placement Participants, Resolutions 4 to 7 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to an aggregate of 10,200,000 Shares to the Related Party Participants (or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Further details in respect of the intended participation of the Related Party Participants (or their nominee(s)) are set out in the table below.
| RECIPIENT | RESOLUTION | PARTICIPATION | PARTICIPATION |
|---|---|---|---|
| QUANTUM | FUNDS RAISED | ||
| Michael Smith (or his nominee(s)) | 4 | 1,800,000 | $45,000 |
| Matthew Banks (or his nominee(s)) | 5 | 4,800,000 | $120,000 |
| Peter Venn (or his nominee(s)) | 6 | 1,800,000 | $45,000 |
8
3865-05/3780371_4
| RECIPIENT | RESOLUTION | PARTICIPATION | PARTICIPATION |
|---|---|---|---|
| QUANTUM | FUNDS RAISED | ||
| Peter Harold (or his nominee(s)) | 7 | 1,800,000 | $45,000 |
| Total | 10,200,000 | $255,000 |
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 of Shares under the Placement to the Related Party Participants (or their nominee(s)) constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Party Participants is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the Shares will be issued to the Related Party Participants (or their nominee(s)) on the same terms as Shares issued to the non-related party participants in the Placement 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;
-
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 these Resolutions 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). 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 these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. Accordingly, the Company will not raise a further $255,000 under Tranche 2 of the Placement.

5.3 Listing Rule 7.4
A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in Section 2.3 above.
