EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Spacetalk Ltd (Company) to be held virtually at 11:00 am (ACDT) on 15 February 2023.
This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to, and the legal and other implications of, the Notice and the reasons for the proposed Resolutions. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.
Explanatory Notes to the Resolutions
Resolution 1: Issue of Warrant to Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd in its capacity as trustee for The Income and Growth Fund
As announced to ASX on 23 November 2022 and on 19 December 2022 the Company and Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd in its capacity as trustee for The Income and Growth Fund (Pure) have renegotiated the terms of the existing finance agreement between the Company and Pure. The key terms of the renegotiated finance facility are as announced to ASX on 23 November 2022 and on 19 December 2022 and include the issue of a Warrant on the terms detailed in Appendix A to this Explanatory Memorandum subject to the Company obtaining the approval of shareholders in accordance with this Resolution.
On exercise, the Warrant may be exercised into up to 90,000,000 Shares. Pure may only exercise the Warrant (in whole or in part on the terms detailed in Appendix A) if and to the extent that the issue of Shares on exercise of the Warrant would result in Pure and its associates holding a relevant interest in more than 19.99% of the issued capital in the Company, except to the extent permitted by section 611 of the Corporations Act.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Warrant and all shares issued as a result of exercise of the Warrant.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issued without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of Warrant the subject of this Resolution does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit available to the Company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of the Resolution if passed will be to allow the Company to issue the Warrant the subject of this Resolution, no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting without the issue being included in the calculation of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not approved by Shareholders, the Company will not be able to issue the Warrant the subject of this Resolution and this will trigger an Event of Default under the terms of the renegotiated finance facility.
This Resolution is an ordinary resolution requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote on it.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided to Shareholders:
| Persons who are expected to participate in the issue |
Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd |
|---|---|
| Number and Class of Securities to be Issued | One Warrant exercisable into 90,000,000 Shares |
| Material terms of the securities | On exercise, the Shares issued will rank equally with existing Shares. |

|

Resolutions 2 (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) – Approval of Issue of Shares and Options to Directors
The Company announced a Non-Renounceable Entitlements Offer (Entitlements Offer) to ASX on 23 November 2022 the terms of which are as described within the Prospectus released to ASX on 25 November 2022. Directors, Martin Pretty, Brandon Gien, Georg Chmiel, Michael Rann and Saurabh Jain have each subscribed for shares and options under the Shortfall facility detailed within the Entitlements Offer Prospectus. This subscription, totalling \$230,700 shows strong Director support for the Company. These Resolutions seek Shareholder approval to issue the shares and options to Directors pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes as a result of this subscription.
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the company. Being a Director of the Company, Mr Pretty, Mr Gien, Mr Chmiel, Mr Rann and Mr Jain are each a related party of the Company by virtue of section 228(2) of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, this Resolution seeks the approval required by Listing Rule 10.11.1 to allow the issue of Shares and Options to each Mr Pretty, Mr Gien, Mr Chmiel, Mr Rann and Mr Jain (or their nominee).
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issued without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
If Shareholder approval is given for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 as this issuance of Shares and Options will fall within one of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and the Shares and Options issued pursuant to these Resolutions will not deplete the Company's 15% placement capacity as they will not be included in the calculation of this capacity.
If these Resolutions is not approved by Shareholders, the Company will not be able to issue the Shares and Options the subject of these Resolutions or receive the consideration monies.
These Resolutions are ordinary resolutions requiring them to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote on them.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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:
- obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
- 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.
Each of the Directors and their nominee entities (if applicable) are related parties of the Company.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issuance of the Shares and Options the subject of these Resolutions as the terms of issuance are identical to the terms offered to all participants (that are not related parties of the Company) in the Entitlements Issue as described within the prospectus released to ASX on 25 November 2022.
Resolutions 3 (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) – Approval of Issue of Performance Rights to Directors
Performance rights confer an entitlement to be issued one Share subject to the satisfaction of any performance criteria on the terms set out in the Equity Incentive Plan (Plan).
Subject to the approval of Shareholders, the Company proposes to grant a maximum amount of:
- (a) 43,018 Performance Rights to Mr Martin Pretty, Non-Executive Director;
- (b) 43,018 Performance Rights to Mr Brandon Gien, Non-Executive Director;
- (c) 43,018 Performance Rights to Mr Michael Rann, Non-Executive Director;
- (d) 151,515 Performance Rights to Mr Georg Chmiel, Non-Executive Director; and
- (e) 545,455 Performance Rights to Mr Saurabh Jain, Executive Director.
(together, the Directors).
The price payable for each Share that may be issued upon vesting of a Performance Right is nil.
The objective of the proposed grant of Performance Rights to Directors is primarily to link the reward of Performance Rights to Shareholder value creation and align their interests with those of Shareholders and to encourage the long-term sustainable growth of the Company. In conjunction with cash conservation measures announced to ASX on 05 December 2022, Directors including the Interim CEO undertook to reduce their respective Fees by 20% for a period of 3 months commencing on 1 December 2022 with the equivalent consideration to be issued in the form of Performance Rights. In determining the quantum of Performance Rights to be offered to each director the Company used Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for 10 trading days up to and including 30 November 2022, of \$0.033 and divided the directors fees for the 3 month period by the VWAP. This was done to improve the cash position of the Company. In the event that Shareholders do not approve the issuance of the Performance Rights the subject, the Company will be required to pay the equivalent sum in cash consideration.
The Performance Rights shall be issued under, and subject to, the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan.
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not issue equity securities to a director of the company under an employee incentive scheme unless the issue has been approved by holders of ordinary securities. Once approval is obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14, the Company is entitled to rely on Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 8 as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. Similarly, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of securities and instead will be required to pay the equivalent sum in cash.

Other general terms of the Performance Rights
It is intended that the Performance Rights will be issued within 3 days after the Extraordinary General Meeting, but in any event will be issued no later than 3 years after the Extraordinary General Meeting.
All Directors are entitled to participate in the Plan.
The Performance Rights will be issued to the Directors for nil consideration.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15.2, each of Mr Pretty, Mr Gien, Mr Rann, Mr Chmiel and Mr Jain fall under category 10.14.1 of the Listing Rules, as they are current Directors of the Company.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15.6, the Company proposes to issue Performance Rights to the Directors (as opposed to fully paid ordinary securities) for the following reasons:
- (a) Performance Rights are designed to incentivise employees and directors of the Company. Performance Rights also act to provide a retention incentive for key employees, such as each of Mr Pretty, Gien, Chmiel, Rann and Jain to facilitate long-term growth; and
- (b) equity based incentives assist in the alignment of Shareholders and Directors' interests.
Mr Pretty has previously received 500,000 Performance Rights under the Plan, as approved by Shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 12 November 2020. The Performance Rights were issued for nil consideration.
Mr Gien has previously received 500,000 Performance Rights under the Plan, as approved by Shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 12 November 2020. The Performance Rights were issued for nil consideration.
Neither Mr Rann, Mr Chmiel or Mr Jain have previously received Performance Rights under the Plan.
There are no loan arrangements either of Mr Pretty, Gien, Chmiel, Rann and Jain in relation to the acquisition of the Performance Rights.
The other general terms for the Performance Rights are outlined in Annexure B of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Details of any securities issued under the Equity Incentive Plan will be published in the annual report of the entity relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Equity Incentive Plan after this resolution is approved and who were not named in the notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
General Information
The Performance Rights have been offered to Directors in recognition of their agreement to reduce their Directors Fees for a period of 3 months (from 1 December 2022 to 28 February 2023). The value of the Performance Rights at the time of issuance of the offer was equivalent to this reduction in Directors Fees and is as follows:
| Martin Pretty | Brandon Gien | Michael Rann | Georg Chmiel | Saurabh Jain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| \$1,420 | \$1,420 | \$1,420 | \$5000 | \$18,000 |
In determining the quantum of Performance Rights to be offered to each director the Company used Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for 10 trading days up to and including 30 November 2022 of \$0.033 and divided the directors fees for the 3 month period by the VWAP.
A factor in the determination of the final value of Performance Rights will be the ultimate share price at the date of final performance rights grant (this will be the date of approval by the Shareholders if such approval is obtained). The following table details total employee benefit expense based on the highest and lowest closing prices of the Shares traded on the ASX over the 12 months ending on 14 December 2022.
| Highest | Lowest Price | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Closing Price (\$) | 0.179 | 0.028 | ||
| Date | 18 January 2021 | 01 December 2022 | ||
| Total employee benefits expense | ||||
| Martin Pretty | \$7,700 | \$1,204 | ||
| Brandon Gien | \$7,700 | \$1,204 | ||
| Michael Rann | \$7,700 | \$1,204 | ||
| Georg Chmiel | \$27,121 | \$4,242 | ||
| Saurabh Jain | \$97,636 | \$15,272 |
As such, if it is assumed all other factors are equal, where the share price increases above the \$0.545 disclosed above the final value of performance rights granted will increase, and conversely where the share price reduces the final value of performance rights granted will also reduce.
Remuneration
Mr Jain currently receives \$360,000 per annum for his position as Executive Director and Interim Chief Executive Officer. The amount stated is exclusive of superannuation contributions. The performance rights are in consideration of a 20% reduction to this fee. It is noted that Mr Jain's employment contract is for a period of 3 months with an option for a further 3 months therefore his annual remuneration for the financial year ending on 30 June 2023 may be lower than
Mr Pretty currently receives \$28,392 per annum for his position as Non-Executive Director. The Performance Rights are in consideration of a 20% reduction to this fee.
Mr Gien currently receives \$28,392 per annum for his position as Non-Executive Director. The Performance Rights are in consideration of a 20% reduction to this fee.
Mr Rann currently receives \$28,392 per annum for his position as Non-Executive Director. The Performance Rights are in consideration of a 20% reduction to this fee.
Mr Chmiel currently receives \$100,000 per annum for his position as Non-Executive Director. The Performance Rights are in consideration of a 20% reduction to this fee.
Financial Benefit – Details and reasons
Approval has been sought for the giving of a financial benefit to Mr Pretty, Mr Gien, Mr Rann, Mr Chmiel and Mr Jain as related parties, under section 208 of the Corporations Act.
The reasons for giving this financial benefit are:
- (a) the Company wishes to maximise the use of its cash resources towards other strategic initiatives and equity based incentives;
- (b) the total quantum of Performance Rights to be issued is reasonable in number, and will act as an incentive for future growth of the business;
- (c) Performance Rights are designed to incentivise employees, and in this case, to incentivise Directors of the Company. Performance Rights also act to provide a retention incentive for key employees, such as Mr Jain, to facilitate long-term growth;
- (d) equity based incentives assist in the alignment of Shareholders and Directors' interests; and
- (e) the Company believes the associated expense is limited and the nature of the Performance Rights package proposed is commensurate with market practice.
On this basis the Company believes the giving of the financial benefit, as constituted by the issue of the Performance Rights to the applicable Directors is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.
Existing interests and the dilutionary effect on other Shareholders' interests
The effect that the vesting of the Performance Rights will have on the interests of the applicable Directors relative to other Shareholders' interests is set out in the following table. The table assumes no further issues of shares in, or reconstruction of the capital of the Company during the time between issue and vesting of the Performance Rights and is based upon shares on issue as at 4 January 2023.

Appendix B Equity Incentive Plan – Summary
| Aspect | Terms |
|---|---|
| Purpose | The Equity Incentive Plan forms part of the Company's remuneration strategy. The Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) is designed to align the interests of employees and directors eligible to participate in the EIP (Eligible Participants) and shareholders of the Company and to assist the Company in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants. In particular, the EIP aligns the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company through the grant of Performance Rights. |
| Administration | The EIP will be administered by the Board in accordance with the EIP Rules and the terms and conditions of specific grants of Performance Rights to Eligible Participants on the EIP. |
| Every exercise of a discretion by the Board and any decision by the Board regarding the interpretation, effect or application of the EIP Rules and all calculations and determinations made by the Board under the EIP Rules are final, conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. |
|
| Eligibility and Participation |
A grant of Performance Rights by the Company is subject to both the EIP Rules and the specific terms of the grant as determined by the Board in the recipient's invitation and application form. |
| The Board may, from time to time and in its absolute discretion, invite any Eligible Participants to participate in a grant of Performance Rights under the EIP. |
|
| Acceptance of an invitation by an Eligible Participant must be made on an application form in accordance with the instructions that accompany the invitation, or in any other way the Company determines. |
|
| After receiving an application form and any applicable ancillary documents, the Board may in its discretion accept such application and grant the Performance Rights to the participant. |
|
| Terms of the | Participant's right prior to exercise |
| Performance Rights |
Prior to exercise of a Performance Right, a participant does not have any interest in any shares the subject of the Performance Right, other than those expressly set out in the EIP Rules. |
| No Dealing in Performance Rights | |
| Any dealing in respect of a Performance Right is prohibited unless the Company determines otherwise, or the dealing is required by law. |
|
| Prohibition on Hedging | |
| A participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Performance Right that has been granted to them. |
|
| Listing | |
| Unless determined otherwise by the Board, a Performance Right granted under the EIP Rules will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised securities exchange. |
|
| Vesting | Subject to any earlier lapse and forfeiture of Performance Rights under the terms of the EIP Rules, a Performance Right that is subject to vesting conditions will only vest where each vesting condition, and all other relevant conditions advised to the participant have been satisfied or waived and a vesting notice in respect of the Performance Right has been given to the participant. |
| Exercise and settlement of Performance Rights |
Following receipt of a vesting notice a participant will be entitled to exercise a Performance Right that has vested by delivering an exercise notice to the Company at any time before the expiry date, being the 15th anniversary of the date of grant of the Performance Right (Expiry Date). Where a participant ceases to be employed on engaged by a member of the group, all Performance Rights that have vested may be exercised by the participant within a period of 90 days following the date of cessation (or such other period determined by the Board at its absolute discretion), otherwise they will be forfeited. Upon receipt of an exercise notice the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to the participant the number of shares to which the participant is entitles or, if expressly permitted by the original invitation, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, settle the exercise of the Performance Rights by way of a cash payment equal to the market value of the shares that would otherwise have been issued or transferred. |
|---|---|
| Rights | Shares to rank equally |
| attaching to shares |
All shares issued on exercise of a Performance Right will rank pari passu in all respects with the shares of the same class for the time being on issue except for any rights attaching to the shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of issue or transfer of the plan shares. |
| Listing and Dividends | |
| If shares issued on exercise of a Performance Right are in the same class as shares which are listed on the ASX, the Company will apply for quotation of the shares issued. |
|
| A participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed on the shares. A participant may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of the shares which they hold. |
|
| Voting rights | |
| A participant my exercise any voting rights attaching to shares which they hold. | |
| Dealing restrictions | |
| A participant's invitation may specify restrictions as to how the participant may deal in the shares for a period. The Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the participant with this restriction, including but no limited to imposing an ASX holding lock on the shares or using an employee share trust to hold the shares during the relevant restriction period. |
|
| If the shares are subject to any disposal restrictions, the participant must not deal with a share or take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the Company's consent. |
|
| Subject to the Company's Share Trading Policy, upon expiry of any dealing restrictions over a share, the Company will take all action necessary to ensure that the participant can deal with the share. |
| Lapse and Forfeiture of Incentive Securities |
In certain circumstances, performance rights granted to participants, will lapse and be forfeited. This may include a situation where the participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly, negligently, wilfully breaches their duties to the Company or the participant is convicted of an offense in connection with the affairs of the Company or its subsidiaries. In that case the Board may determine in its absolute discretion that any unvested Performance Rights held by the participant that have not yet been exercised are dealt with in accordance with the Board's direction which may include forfeiture or the exercise of the Performance Rights within a fixed period of time, otherwise they will be forfeited. The performance rights will automatically lapse on the Expiry Date unless vesting and exercise occurs prior to that time. Notwithstanding the terms of forfeiture set out in the EIP Rules, the Board may decide (on any conditions it thinks fit) that some or all of the participant's Performance Rights will not be forfeited at that time, but will be forfeited at the time and subject to the conditions it specifies to the participant. Where Performance Rights have been forfeited in accordance with the EIP Rules, the participant must sign any transfer documents to effect the forfeiture required by the Company and the Company will not be liable for any damages or other amounts to the participant in respect of that forfeited performance right. Cessation of employment before Vesting Where a participant ceases to be employed or engaged by a member of the Company, all unvested Performance Rights held by the participant will be forfeited, unless the Company determines otherwise. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine that some or all of the unvested Performance Rights held by a participant will not be forfeited where a participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company, which may include circumstances where the participant is considered to be a "Good Leaver" (as defined in the EIP Rules). |
|---|---|
| Change of Control |
If there is a change in control of the Company (whether by way of compromise or arrangement or takeover bid) (Change of Control Event), or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may determine the manner in which any or all of the participant's Performance Rights will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the participant to participate on and/or benefit from any transaction arising from, or in connection with, the Change of Control Event. |
| Adjustment of Performance |
Reorganisation |
| Rights | In the event of any reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any bonus issues), the rights of each participant holding Performance Rights will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. |
| Rights Issue | |
| Unless otherwise determined by the board, a holder of Performance Rights does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of shares made by the Company or to sell renounceable rights. |
|
| Application of Adjustment | |
| The Board may (as far as possible) make whatever adjustments are deemed necessary or desirable to ensure that the consequences of any application of an adjustment are fair as between the participants and holders of other securities in the Company, subject to the ASX Listing Rules and other applicable laws. |
| Compliance with law and limitations |
The Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an invitation for a grant of Performance Rights, that the total number of shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Performance Rights offered, under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made in reliance on ASIC Class Order 14/1000 at any time during the previous 3 year period under: a) an employee incentive scheme covered by ASIC Class order 14/1000; or b) an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme, but disregarding any offer made or securities issued in the capital of the Company by way of or as a result of: c) an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia; d) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act; or e) an offer made under a disclosure document, would exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any applicable law) of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the invitation. |
|---|---|
| Amendment | The Board may at any time amend the EIP Rules except that no amendment may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment either (i) agreed to in writing by all participants; or (ii) for the purpose of complying with law or the Company's constitution or due to manifest error or mistake or to take into consideration possible adverse tax reasons. |
