1 BACKGROUND
1.1 Overview
On 14 February 2024, the Company announced that it received firm commitments to raise approximately $4.05 million from institutional, sophisticated and professional investors via the issue of 36,843,111 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.11 per share ( Placement Issue Price ), a 9.5% discount to a 20 day VWAP of A$0.121 as at 8 February 2024 (the Placement ).
On 21 February 2024, the Company announced completion of the capital raise and the revised amount raised of $4.12 million via the Placement from institutional, sophisticated and professional investors via the issue of 37,483,101 fully paid ordinary shares ( Placement Shares ) at the Placement Issue Price. The additional funds raised was due to two applications for $35,200, each not being included in the original announcement.
1.2 Terms of Placement Securities
The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally in all aspects with all existing Shares on issue in the Company.
1.3 Lead Manager
Shaw and Partners Limited ( Shaw and Partners or Lead Manager ) acted as Lead Manager to the Placement pursuant to a mandate between the Company and the Lead Manager dated 8 February 2024 (the Lead Manager Mandate ).
Under the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to:
-
(a) pay the Lead Manager a capital raising fee of 6% of total raised under the Placement (excluding proceeds raised from the Company’s ‘Chairman’s List’); and
-
(b) issue 8,500,000 Lead Manager Options to the Lead Manager or their nominee ( Lead Manager Options ), subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval.
The Lead Manager Mandate is otherwise on standard terms for agreements of its kind. In connection with the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has paid approximately $193,815 as capital raising fees. The issue of the Lead Manager Options is subject to receipt of Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which is being sought by the Company in Resolution 3.
8
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
1.4 Use of funds under the capital raising
Funds raised in connection with the Placement will be used to accelerate the Company’s United States commercialisation including sales and marketing, building on the recent success of enterprise sales in the US, development of initial Medical Artificial Intelligence (AI)in-the-Cloud system and working capital requirements.
2 RESOLUTION 1 & 2: RATIFICATION OF PLACEMENT SHARES
2.1 Background to Resolution 1 & 2
Resolutions 1 & 2 seek ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 37,483,101 Shares under the Placement. Of the Placement Shares, 21,806,620 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 15,676,481 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company obtained shareholder approval for an additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A at its last annual general meeting held on Friday, 10 November 2023 ( AGM ), increasing its total placement capacity to 25% under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 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 period.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its shareholders, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit under 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 issue of the Placement Shares.
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 made approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and 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 and Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, the Company is seeking ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.
2.4 Technical Information Required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 & 2 are passed , the Placement Shares 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 issue of the Placement Shares.
9
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
If Resolution 1 & 2 are not passed , the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement Shares issue date.
The Placement Shares, for which approval and ratification is sought under Resolutions 1 & 2 comprises approximately 19.19% of the Company’s issued capital (based on the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice).
2.5 Information Required for the Purpose of Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 & 2:
-
(1) The Company issued 37,483,101 Placement Shares to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors identified by the Lead Manager.
-
(2) The Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:
-
(a) 21,806,620 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

-
(3) The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally in all aspects with all existing Shares on issue in the Company.
-
(4) The Placement Shares were issued by the Company and quoted on ASX on 21 February 2024.

-
(7) The Placement Shares were issued under specific placement letters entered into between the Lead Manager and sophisticated and professional investors participating in the Placement on standard terms for placements of such kind. The Placement was undertaken in connection with the Lead Manager Mandate, the material terms of which are summarised in section 1.3 above.
-
(8) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 1 & 2 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.
2.6 Board Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 & 2.
3 RESOLUTION 3: ISSUE OF LEAD MANAGER OPTIONS
3.1 Background to Resolution 3
10
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
The Background to the Lead Manager’s appointment in connection with the Placement and issue of the Lead Manager Options is set out in paragraph 1.3 above.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 2.2.
Under the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company is required to issue the Lead Manager Options in consideration for the Lead Manager placement services provided by Shaw and Partners in connection with the Placement.
The proposed issue of the Lead Manager Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, together with the issue of the Placement Shares and the Company’s other issues of Equity Securities without Shareholder approval in the past 12 months, exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Lead Manager Options.
Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Lead Manager Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Technical Information Required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed , the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options and issue 8,500,000 Lead Manager Options to Shaw and Partners (or their nominees) in accordance with the Company’s obligations under the Lead Manager Mandate as consideration for lead manager placement services provided by Shaw and Partners. In addition, the issue of the Lead Manager Options 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 3 is not passed , the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options which may require the Company to consider alternative arrangements to compensate Shaw and Partners for the services provided in connection with the Placement, which could include a cash payment or delaying the issue of the Lead Manager Options until such time as the Company has sufficient placement capacity to do so under and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1.
3.4 Information Required for the Purpose of Listing Rule 7.3
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3 :
-
(1) The Lead Manager Options will be issued to Shaw and Partners Limited (or their nominees).
-
(2) 8,500,000 Lead Manager Options will be issued to the Lead Manager (or their nominees) in connection with resolution 3.
-

-
(4) The Company intends to issue the Lead Manager Options as soon as practicable following the Meeting and, in any event, the Lead Manager Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.
11
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
-
(5) The Lead Manager Options will be issued for nil issue price as consideration for the services provided by Shaw and Partners in connection with the Placement pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, and as such no funds will be raised in connection with the issue.
-
(6) The purpose of the issue of the Lead Manager Options is to remunerate the Lead Manager for services provided in connection with the Placement.
-
(7) The Lead Manager Options were issued in connection with the Lead Manager Mandate, the material terms of which are summarised in section 1.3 above.
-
(8) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 3 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

Resolutions 4 & 5 seeks Shareholder approval to enable the Non-Executive Directors to convert all or some of the deferred fees for the period from April 2023 to February 2024 into Shares ( Director Shares ) in order to ensure the Company continues to be in a position to direct the funds necessary into the growth of its business and driving that business forward.
4.2 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 6 months before the issue, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue, 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;
12
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) through (c) above; or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) through (d) above is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue should be approved by shareholders,
unless it obtained the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the Director Shares to each of the Non-Executive Directors falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, each are a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director, and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. The issue of Director Shares therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Accordingly, Resolutions 4 & 5 seek the required Shareholder approval to issue the Director Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
4.3 Regulatory Requirements – Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or
-
(b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.
A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act and includes the directors of the company under section 228 of the Corporations Act. As such, the Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party. The issue of the Director Shares under Resolutions 4 & 5 therefore constitute the provision of a financial benefit to a related party.
One of the exceptions to the prohibition is the provision by a company of a financial benefit that constitutes reasonable remuneration to a related party as an officer or employee of the company. The Directors (each abstaining with respect to the respective Resolution in which they have a material personal interest) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Director Shares because the agreement to issue the Director Shares, reached as part of the remuneration packages for each Director, is considered to be reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.
4.4 Technical Information Required by Listing Rule 14.1A
With respect to Resolutions 4 & 5, if a Resolution is passed , the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Shares to the relevant Director in lieu of accrued entitlements to cash payment. In addition, the issue of the Director 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, given Resolutions 4 & 5 are approved for all other purposes, including Listing Rule 7.1.
13
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
With respect to Resolutions 4 & 5, if a Resolution is not passed , the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Shares to the relevant Director and the Company will need to explore alternate means of paying the outstanding Directors’ fees, including paying the entitlements in cash.
4.5 Information Required for the Purpose of Listing Rule 10.13
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 4 & 5:
-
(1) The Director Shares will be issued to Messrs. Howard Digby (Resolution 4) and Andrew Just (Resolution 5).
-
(2) Each of Messrs. Digby and Just are a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and is accordingly captured under Listing Rule 10.11.1.
-
(3) The number of Director Shares to be issued are as follows:
| Director | No. of Director Shares to be issued: | |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution 4 | Howard Digby | 378,218 |
| Resolution 5 | Andrew Just | 336,364 |
-
(4) The Director Shares to be issued to the Directors are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally in all aspects with all existing Shares on issue in the Company.
-
(5) The Company intends to issue the Director Shares as soon as practicable following the Meeting and, in any event, no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting.
-
(6) No funds will be raised by the issue of the Director Shares, however a liability of $78,604 will be extinguished.
-
(7) The purpose of the issue of the Director Shares is to pay the Directors in Shares of the Company in lieu of their outstanding Directors’ fees owing, thereby remunerating the Directors for the role they serve as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. The issue of the Director Shares is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form, this benefit will allow 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 the Directors.
-
(8) The Director Shares are being issued to the Directors as partial remuneration for their outstanding Directors’ fees. The Directors’ current total remuneration package (excluding the Director Shares proposed to be issued in connection with Resolutions 4 & 5) are as follows:
| Director | Financial Year |
Remuneration | Remuneration | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base Salary & Fees $* |
Super $ | Securities Based Rem $ |
Total $ | ||
| Howard Digby |
FY23 | 53,853 | 5,958 | 38,403 | 98,214 |

-
(9) The Director Shares are not issued pursuant to a specific agreement with the Directors.
-
(10) A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 4 & 5 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.
4.6 Board Recommendation
The Directors:
-
other than Mr Howard Digby with respect to Resolution 4, who abstains due to his personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4; and
-
other than Mr Andrew Just with respect to Resolution 5, who abstains due to his personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 5, unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
5 RESOLUTION 6: APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION PLAN
On 12 October 2021, the Directors adopted the Singular Health Employee Share Option Plan ( Plan ). The Plan was subsequently approved by Shareholders at the Company’s 2021 General Meeting. On 1 October 2022, the employee shares scheme that the Plan was regulated under, ASIC Class Order 14/1000, was replaced by an analogous new Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act ( New Regime ). The Company seeks to approve and update the Plan to align with the New Regime.
Directors consider that it is desirable to use the Plan, pursuant to which employees, Directors and other eligible participants may be offered the opportunity to be granted Performance Rights and/or Options to acquire Shares in the Company. The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
(a) reward employees, Directors and other eligible participants of the Company;
-
(b) assist in the retention and motivation of employees of the Company; and
-
(c) provide an incentive to employees, Directors and other eligible participants of the Company to grow shareholder value by providing them with an opportunity to receive an ownership interest in the Company.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the Plan to provide ongoing incentives to eligible employees, directors and other eligible participants of the Company and its related bodies corporate ( Eligible Persons ).
5.1 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 2.2.
15
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
An exception to Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2, which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within the three years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholder approval is sought to approve the Plan in accordance with Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 and to enable the Company to subsequently grant Performance Rights and/or Options to acquire Shares in the Company under the Plan for three years after the Meeting, without having to obtain Shareholder approval each time the Company wishes to issue such securities which exceed the combined 25% limit contained in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, and do not otherwise fall within one of the nominated Listing Rule exceptions.
5.2 Technical Information Required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed , the Plan will continue to enable the Company to issue Performance Rights and/or Options to acquire Shares in the Company to Eligible Persons and to issue Shares to those persons if they choose to exercise their Options or Performance Rights, without using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. In the case of a director, no Option or Performance Right may be issued to the director without express Shareholder approval of the number and terms of the Options and/or Performance Rights.
If Resolution 6 is not passed , any Options and/or Performance Rights issued to Eligible Persons, or Shares issued to Eligible Persons if they choose to exercise their Options and/or Performance Rights, will count towards the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.
5.3 Information required by Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2
Pursuant to and in accordance with Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2, the following information is provided in relation to the approval:
-
(1) A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Annexure C. The full terms and conditions of the Plan may be obtained free of charge by contacting the Company.
-
(2) Since the Plan was last approved by Shareholders on 23 November 2021, the Company has issued 14,030,000 Options under the Plan.
-
(3) The maximum number of securities, including Options and Performance Rights proposed to be issued under the Plan following Shareholder approval over three years is 30,000,000. This maximum is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of Options and Performance Rights to be issued under the Plan but is specified for the purposes of setting a ceiling on the number of Options and Performance Rights approved to be issued under and for the purposes of Exception 13(b), Listing Rule 7.2. Once that number is reached, any additional issues of Options and Performance Rights under the Plan would not have the benefit of Exception 13(b), Listing Rule 7.2, without a fresh Shareholder approval.
-
(4) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 6 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.
5.4 Board Recommendation
As all the Directors are entitled to participate in the Plan, they are interested in the outcome of Resolution 6 and accordingly do not consider it appropriate to make a recommendation to Shareholders.
16
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
6 RESOLUTION 7: ISSUE OF INCENTIVE SECURITIES TO MR DENNING CHONG
6.1 Background to Resolution 7
The Board proposes to issue 10,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Denning Chong, a related party of the Company ( Related Party Securities ) for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The Related Party Securities will be issued as part of a long term incentive package for Mr Chong in respect of his role as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director for the period from 1 July 2024 ( Long Term Incentive Package ). Further information regarding the issue of Related Party Securities to Mr Chong is summarised in section 6.5 below.
In summary, the 10,000,000 Related Party Securities awarded to Mr Denning Chong are subject to the following vesting conditions:
| Number of performance rights |
Price Vesting Hurdle (15 day VWAP) |
Continuous Employment Vesting Hurdle |
Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2,500,000 | $0.20 | 30 June 2025 | 30 June 2028 |
| 2,500,000 | $0.25 | 30 June 2025 | 30 June 2028 |
| 2,500,000 | $0.30 | 30 June 2025 | 30 June 2028 |
| 2,500,000 | $0.35 | 30 June 2026 | 30 June 2028 |
Other than the vesting condition specified above, the Related Party Securities are otherwise issued on terms set out in Annexure B.
Further background to the issue of the Related Party Securities is set out in section 6.5. The Company notes that, as set out in section 6.5, the Related Party Securities are being issued to Mr Chong as part of a Long Term Incentive Package for the period from 1 July 2024 in respect of his role as CEO and Managing Director of the Company and are therefore substantially distinct from previous incentive issues.
Mr Denning Chong is a related party of the Company for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules by virtue of being a Director. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is required before the Related Party Securities can be issued to Mr Denning Chong.
6.2 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 6 months before the issue, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue, 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) through (c) above; or
17
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
- (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) through (d) above is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue should be approved by shareholders,
unless it obtained the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the Related Party Securities to Mr Denning Chong falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, by virtue of being a Director, and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. The issue of Related Party Securities therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Accordingly, Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Director Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
6.3 Regulatory Requirements – Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or
-
(b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.
A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act and includes the directors of the company under section 228 of the Corporations Act. As such, Mr Denning Chong is a related party of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party. The issue of the Related Party Securities under Resolution 7 therefore constitute the provision of a financial benefit to a related party.
One of the exceptions to the prohibition is the provision by a company of a financial benefit that constitutes reasonable remuneration to a related party as an officer or employee of the company. The Directors (other than Mr Denning Chong who abstains due to his material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 7) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Securities because such Equity Securities are issued as part of Mr Chong’s remuneration package as Executive Director and CEO of the Company and is considered to be reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.
6.4 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 Related Party Securities to Mr Denning Chong as partial remuneration and incentivisation in connection with his role as CEO of the Company. In addition, the issue of the Related Party Securities 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, given Resolution 7 is approved for all other purposes, including Listing Rule 7.1.
18
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
If Resolution 7 is not passed , the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Securities to Mr Denning Chong and the Company will need to explore alternate means of adequately remunerating Mr Chong, which may include increased cash payments where possible.
6.5 Information Required for the Purpose of Listing Rule 10.13

(7) The purpose of the issue of the Related Party Securities to Mr Chong is to incentivise future services to the Company as Managing Director and CEO of the Company as part of a long term incentive package.
-
(8) The Related Party Securities are being issued to Mr Denning Chong in respect of his role as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director as part of the Long Term Incentive Package to incentivise future services to the Company. Mr Denning Chong’s current total remuneration package (excluding the Related Party Securities proposed to be issued in connection with Resolution 7) are as follows:

6.6 Board Recommendation
19
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
The Directors, other than Mr Denning Chong who abstains due to his personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 7, unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
7 RESOLUTION 8: ISSUE OF STRATEGIC PLACEMENT SHARES
7.1 Background to Resolution 8
As announced by the Company on 14 March 2024, the Company received a binding commitment from Craig Sellars (the Subscriber ), to raise $1,000,000 (before costs), via the issue of 6,666,667 Shares at the issue price of $0.15 per Share (the Strategic Placement Issue Price ) (the Strategic Placement ).
7.2 Strategic Placement Overview
The Subscriber and the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the Subscription Agreement ). The Subscription Agreement provides that the Strategic Placement is subject to Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Company is proposing to issue 6,666,667 Shares at the Strategic Placement Issue Price per Share ( Strategic Placement Shares ), subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Strategic Placement Shares to the Subscriber.
7.3 Terms of Strategic Placement Securities
Shares issued in connection with the Strategic Placement are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally in all aspects with all existing Shares on issue in the Company.
7.4 Proceeds of the Strategic Placement
The funds raised in connection with the Strategic Placement is $1,000,000 (before costs), and will be used to accelerate the Company’s United States commercialisation including sales and marketing, building on the recent success of enterprise sales in the US, development of initial Medical Artificial Intelligence (AI)-in-the-Cloud system and working capital requirements.
7.5 Listing Rule 7.1
The application of Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised in section 2.2 of this Explanatory Statement above.
The proposed issue of the Strategic Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. While the issue of the Strategic Placement Shares does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of Strategic Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1. The Company also notes that the Subscription Agreement is conditional on Shareholders approving the Strategic Placement. To this end, Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the Strategic Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
7.6 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 Strategic Placement Shares and issue 6,666,667 Strategic Placement Shares to the Subscriber in accordance with the Company’s obligations under the Subscription Agreement. In addition, the issue of the Strategic Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation
20
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 8 is not passed , the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Strategic Placement Shares on the terms of the Subscription Agreement and will need to explore alternative investment opportunities with the Subscriber (which may include utilising its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1), or not proceed with the Strategic Placement in its entirety.
7.7 Information Required for the Purpose of Listing Rule 7.3
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 8:
-
(1) The Strategic Placement Shares will be issued to Craig Sellars.
-
(2) 6,666,667 fully paid ordinary shares are to be issued to Craig Sellars.
-
(3) The Company intends to issue the Strategic Placement Shares as soon as practicable and in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.
-
(4) The Strategic Placement Shares are to be issued at the Issue Price of $0.15, raising $1,000,000 (before costs).
-
(5) The Strategic Placement Shares are to be issued in connection with the Subscription Agreement entered into between the Subscriber and the Company on the material terms summarised in section 7.2 and otherwise on standard terms for placements of such kind.
-
(6) The funds raised by the Company are to be used for the purposes set out in section 7.4 above.
-
(7) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 8 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Memorandum.
7.8 Board Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.
8 RESOLUTION 9: AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
8.1 Background to Resolution 9
A company may modify or repeal its Constitution or a provision of its Constitution by special resolution of Shareholders. A special resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.
Resolution 9 is a special resolution that seeks Shareholder approval to amend the Constitution by inserting new provisions into the Constitution to specify a cap on the number of securities that may be issued for monetary consideration under the Plan for the purposes of section 1100V of the Corporations Act ( Amended Constitution ).
A copy of the Amended Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website https://singular.health and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Amended Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders by email upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries.
21
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
To obtain the disclosure relief for issues under employee incentive schemes under Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, any issues of securities under an employee incentive scheme for consideration (i.e Shares issued for cash or cash payable on exercise of an Option) must comply with the issue cap in section 1100V of the Corporations Act. Section 1100V(2) provides that the issue cap for listed entities is either:
-
(a) the cap set out in the constitution, if any; or
-
(b) 5% of the number of fully paid shares the company has on issue as at the date the offer of securities is made to the scheme participant. There is currently no cap set out in the Constitution. Accordingly, the number of securities that the Company can issue for consideration under the Plan is currently capped at 5% of the total number of fully paid shares on issue at the date of the offer of the securities. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to amend the Constitution to introduce a cap of 15% of the total number of fully paid shares on issue as at the date the offer of securities is made, thereby increasing the current cap and the number of securities that may be issued for consideration under the Plan ( Proposed Amendment ).
In accordance with Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, the issue cap will be calculated at the time of an offer of Options (or other awards under the Plan that require monetary consideration from the Eligible Participant). The calculation of the cap:
-
(a) includes the number of Shares underlying the offer of Options (or other securities for monetary consideration) that is being tested, plus the number of Shares that were issued or that could be issued on the exercise or vesting of all awards made under the Plan in the preceding 3 years (other than such awards that have since lapsed unexercised); but
-
(b) excludes the number of Shares underlying awards made to Eligible Participants outside Australia.
The Proposed Amendment will be affected by introducing a new clause 2.7 into the Constitution as follows:
2.7 Employee Share Scheme Cap
Subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, for the purposes of section 1100V(2)(a) of the Corporations Act, the issue cap percentage is 15%.
Increasing the cap to from 5% to 15% will increase the Company’s ability to reward and remunerate its staff with awards under the Plan, without having to incur the cost of preparing a prospectus.
8.2 Board Recommendation
The Board declines to make a recommendation in respect of Resolution 9 due to the fact that the Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution as securities may be issued to the Directors under the Plan in accordance with the Proposed Amendment. If Resolution 9 is approved, the Proposed Amendment will be adopted and take effect from the close of the Meeting.
9 RESOLUTION 10: ISSUE OF SHARES TO NIGEL BROWN
9.1 Background to Resolution 10
The Company has agreed to issue and allot Mr Nigel Brown 1,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company in connection with his departure and services as former director of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Singular 3DP Pty Ltd ( 3DP Shares ).
22
1786365467\12\AUSTRALIA
Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the 3DP Shares to Mr Nigel Brown.
9.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 2.2.
The proposed issue of the 3DP Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. While the issue of the 3DP Shares does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of 3DP Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 10 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the 3DP Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
