Resolutions
Remuneration Report
Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to present to its Shareholders the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Financial Report.
The vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s Annual Financial Report and is also available on the Company’s website at https://www.cirralto.com.au/.
However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting (subject of this Notice of Meeting), and then again at the 2022 Annual General Meeting ( 2022 AGM ), the Company will be required to put to the vote a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) at the 2022 AGM to approve the calling of a further meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the Spill Meeting within 90 days of the 2022 AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2022 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if desired) need to stand for reelection at the Spill Meeting.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to KMPs (including Directors) and sets out remuneration details, service agreements and the details of any share-based compensation.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Resolution 3 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Approval of Future Issue of Securities
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.
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%.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).
As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $147 million and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
The following information is provided to Shareholder for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.
Period for which the approval will be valid
An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(b) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A
Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities and issued for cash consideration.
The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the equity securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
- (a) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the equity securities; or
Cirralto Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
21
- (b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.
Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used
As noted above, any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for working capital, product development and debt warehouse funding.
Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders
If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted. There is a risk that:
-
(a) the market price for the Company’s equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date;
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:
| Variable “A” ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 | Variable “A” ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised |

15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company’s allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:
-
(a) the Company’s intentions in relation to the possible issue of equity securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;
-
(b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);
-
(c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;
-
(d) the Company’s financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and
-
(e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.
Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue equity securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Board of Directors reserve the right to determine at the time of any issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.
If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.
Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities.
Issue or agreement to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months prior to AGM

Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares
Resolution 4 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares
Background
As announced by the Company on 5 July 2021, the Company entered into a binding Share Sale Agreement ( Invigo SSA ) to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Sydney based Fintech, Invigo Pty Ltd ( Invigo ).
Under the terms of the Invigo SSA, Cirralto agreed to acquire all of the issued shares in Invigo. The consideration for the acquisition was 100% scrip based, with Cirralto agreeing to issue in aggregate 132,951,740 Shares ( Invigo Consideration Shares ) to the shareholders of Invigo ( Invigo Vendors ), with each Invigo Consideration Share having:
-
(a) a deemed issue price of approximately $0.075 per Invigo Consideration Share;
-
(b) a total value equal to approximately $10m; and
-
(c) voluntary escrow applied to 113,008,979 Invigo Consideration Shares (as set out in detail in the Company’s announcement of 5 July 2021).
Completion of the acquisition under the SSA was subject to satisfaction (or waiver, as applicable) of the following conditions precedent ( Invigo Conditions ):
-
(a) the Company notifying the Invigo Vendors it is satisfied with the results of legal, operational and financial due diligence investigations in relation to Invigo and its business and shares;
-
(b) no material adverse condition having occurred or arisen in relation Invigo or its business since execution of the SSA;
-
(c) each of Andy Hilton and Corrie Hassan entering into employment arrangements with Invigo or the Company, on terms agreeable to the Company;
-
(d) all security interests over any assets of Invigo being discharged to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company;
-
(e) all applicable change of control consents having been obtained for material contracts of Invigo;
-
(f) all necessary regulatory, shareholder and other approvals being obtained in connection with the acquisition; and
-
(g) the Invigo Vendors demonstrating to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that Invigo will have cleared all, and as at completion have no, outstanding liabilities owing to Invigo’s directors.
Either party was able to terminate the Invigo SSA if the Invigo Conditions were not satisfied, or validly waived by the Company (as applicable), by 31 August 2021.
Following satisfaction of the Invigo Conditions, on 23 July 2021, the Company issued 132,951,740 Invigo Consideration Shares to the Invigo Vendors at a deemed issue price of $0.075 per Share by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Invigo Consideration Shares were issued as consideration payable by the Company to acquire all of the issued shares in Invigo. Accordingly, no funds were raised as part of the issue of Invigo Consideration Shares.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 132,951,740 Invigo Consideration Shares, which were issued on 23 July 2021 ( Invigo Issue Date ).
Cirralto Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
25
All of the 132,951,740 Invigo Consideration Shares were issued by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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.
The issue of the Invigo Consideration 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 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Invigo Issue Date.
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 Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of the Invigo Consideration Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

-
(c) the Greenshoots Vendors demonstrating to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that Greenshoots has cleared all, and as at the date of Completion will have no, outstanding liabilities owing to its directors, including in respect of director’s loans, director’s expenses, director’s funding interest payments due and unpaid salaries; and

Following satisfaction of the Greenshoots Conditions, on 3 November 2021, the Company issued 24,193,548 Greenshoots Consideration Shares to the Greenshoots Vendors at a deemed issue price of $0.062 per Share by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Greenshoots Consideration Shares were issued as consideration payable by the Company to acquire all of the issued shares in Greenshoots. Accordingly, no funds were raised as part of the issue of Greenshoots Consideration Shares.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 24,193,548 Greenshoots Consideration Shares, which were issued on 3 November 2021 ( Greenshoots Issue Date ).
All of the 24,193,548 Greenshoots Consideration Shares were issued by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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.
The issue of the Greenshoots Consideration Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Date.
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 Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.
’ - Maximum Aggregate Amount of Non Executive Directors Fees
Resolution 6 – Approval to Increase the Maximum Aggregate Amount of Non-Executive Directors’ Fees
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.17 and clause 10.7 of the Company’s Constitution, Shareholder approval is sought to increase the maximum aggregate amount available for non-executive Directors’ remuneration in any financial year by $250,000, from $250,000 to $500,000. The current aggregate remuneration amount for non-executive Directors of $250,000 was fixed on 30 November 2006, as set out in the Company’s 2006 Notice of Meeting.
Shareholder approval to increase the aggregate amount of directors’ fees for non-executive Directors is sought as:
-
(a) it is important to ensure that the Company maintains the ability to pay competitive fees and attract and retain high calibre non-executive Directors; and
-
(b) the size of the proposed increase would be consistent with other ASX listed entities of
Cirralto Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
29
similar market capitalisation.
Should this Resolution be passed, it is not intended that the maximum aggregate of the fees of non-executive Directors would be utilised immediately.
The proportion of remaining unused fees for non-executive Directors will provide the Company with the ability to attract and retain high quality Directors, to make any appropriate increases to the size of the Board, and to increase fees in the future in line with market conditions.
It is proposed that the increase in the aggregate amount of fees for non-executive directors will take effect immediately after this Meeting.
If this Resolution is passed, the aggregate annual remuneration pool for non-executive Directors will change to $500,000 per annum, representing an increase of $250,000 per annum.
If this Resolution is not passed, the aggregate remuneration pool for non-executive Directors will remain at $250,000 per annum. This may inhibit the ability of the Company to remunerate, attract and retain appropriately skilled non-executive Directors.
As required by Listing Rule 10.17, the Company confirms that the following securities have been issued to non-executive Directors in the preceding three years (from the date of this Meeting) under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14:

Resolution 7 – Approval of Issue of CROO Options to Adrian Floate, Director of the Company
Background
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot 13,500,000 CROO Listed Options to Adrian Floate, a Director, or his nominee.
The issuance of securities to executives as a form of incentive-based remuneration is common practice in listed companies and further encourages and rewards efforts by directors to improve the performance of their company for the commercial benefit of all shareholders.
The Board (other than Adrian Floate) believes it is important to offer these CROO Listed Options to Adrian Floate to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members and executives in a competitive market (in a way that allows the Company to utilise its available cash for other preferred purposes).
Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.
A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue of agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;
Cirralto Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
31
-
(c) 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;
-
(d) an Associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.
As Adrian Floate is a Director, he is a person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
To this end, this Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue 13,500,000 CROO Listed Options to Adrian Floate under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the issue of CROO Listed Options the subject of this Resolution will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of 13,500,000 CROO Listed Options to Adrian Floate.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue and 13,500,000 CROO Listed Options to Adrian Floate and may then be required to re-renegotiate with Adrian Floate such other reasonable remuneration as may be applicable in substitution of these 13,500,000 CROO Listed Options, which may include the payment of additional cash amounts, reducing the Company’s cash reserves.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.
The proposed issue of CROO Listed Options (which is a type of equity security, for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.
A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.
The Board (other than Adrian Floate who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) carefully considered the issue of the CROO Listed Options to Adrian Floate and formed the view that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of CROO Listed Options to Adrian Floate and/or his nominee because they form part of Adrian Floate’s remuneration as an officer of the Company and the remuneration is reasonable given Adrian Floate’s circumstances and the circumstances of the Company.
Accordingly, approval will not be sought under Chapter 2E for the issue of the CROO Listed Options to Adrian Floate as the issue of the CROO Listed Options constitutes ‘reasonable remuneration’ in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.

Resolution 8 – Approval of Issue of Director Options to Peter Richards, Director of the Company
Background
The Company proposes to issue 40,000,000 Options to Peter Richards and/or his nominee ( PR Director Options ). The PR Director Options will be exercisable at the price that is 175% of the VWAP of Shares as traded on ASX in the 15 trading days prior to the Annual General Meeting and will expire on the date that is 4 years from the date the options are issued.
The issue of options to directors as a form of incentive based remuneration is common practice in listed companies and further encourages and rewards efforts by directors to improve the performance of the company to the commercial benefit of all shareholders.
These PR Director Options are intended to provide remuneration that is linked to the performance of the Company in the future. The benefit would only be received from the PR Director Options upon the Share price exceeding the exercise price of the PR Director Options and thereby warranting their exercise before they are lapsed.
Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Board (with Peter Richards abstaining) consider that the incentive noted above, represented by the issue of the PR Director Options, is a cost effective and efficient reward and incentive to provide, as opposed to the payment of cash compensation only.
Cirralto Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
33
The Board (with Peter Richards abstaining) believes it is important to offer these PR Director Options to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
In addition, the PR Director Options may provide the Company with additional funding (if the PR Director Options are exercised).
Accordingly, Resolution 8 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue 40,000,000 PR Director Options to Peter Richards and/or his nominee under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.
A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue of agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;
-
(c) 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;
-
(d) an Associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.
As Peter Richards is a Director, he is a person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
To this end, this Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue PR Director Options to Peter Richards under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the issue of PR Director Options the subject of this Resolution will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of PR Director Options to Peter Richards.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of the PR Director Options to Peter Richards and may then be required to re-renegotiate with Peter Richards such other reasonable remuneration as may be applicable in substitution of these PR Director Options, which may include the payment of additional cash amounts, reducing the Company’s cash reserves.

The proposed issue of PR Director Options (which is a type of equity security, for the purposes of

The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

The Board (with Stephen Dale abstaining) believes it is important to offer the SD Director Options to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
In addition, the SD Director Options may provide the Company with additional funding (if the SD Director Options are exercised).
Accordingly, Resolution 9 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue 10,000,000 SD Director Options to Stephen Dale and/or his nominee under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.

-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue of agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;
-

-
(d) an Associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.
Cirralto Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
36
As Stephen Dale is a Director, he is a person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
To this end, this Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue SD Director Options to Stephen Dale under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the issue of SD Director Options the subject of this Resolution will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of SD Director Options to Stephen Dale.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of the SD Director Options to Stephen Dale and may then be required to re-renegotiate with Stephen Dale such other reasonable remuneration as may be applicable in substitution of these SD Director Options, which may include the payment of additional cash amounts, reducing the Company’s cash reserves.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.
The Board (other than Stephen Dale who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) carefully considered the issue of these SD Director Options to Stephen Dale and formed the view that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of SD Director Options to Stephen Dale and/or his nominee because they form part of Stephen Dale’s remuneration as an officer of the Company and the remuneration is reasonable given Stephen Dale’s circumstances and the circumstances of the Company.
Accordingly, approval will not be sought under Chapter 2E for the issue of the SD Director Options to Stephen Dale as the issue of the SD Director Options constitute ‘reasonable remuneration’ in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.

Resolution 10 – Approval of Issue of Director Options to Howard Digby, Director of the Company
Background
The Company proposes to issue 10,000,000 Options to Howard Digby and/or his nominee ( HD Director Options ). The HD Director Options will be exercisable at the price that is 175% of the VWAP of Shares as traded on ASX in the 15 trading days prior to the Annual General Meeting and will expire on the date that is 4 years from the date the options are issued.
The issue of options to directors as a form of incentive based remuneration is common practice in listed companies and further encourages and rewards efforts by directors to improve the performance of the company to the commercial benefit of all shareholders.
These HD Director Options are intended to provide remuneration that is linked to the performance of the Company in the future. The benefit would only be received from the HD Director Options upon the Share price exceeding the exercise price of the HD Director Options and thereby warranting their exercise before they are lapsed.
Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Board (with Howard Digby abstaining) consider that the incentive noted above, represented by the issue of the HD Director Options, is a cost

- Remuneration Sacrifice Shares
Resolutions 11, 12, 13 and 14 – Issue of Remuneration-Sacrifice Shares to Directors
Background
Each of the Directors, being Adrian Floate, Peter Richards, Stephen Dale and Howard Digby, have agreed to an option to reduce their cash remuneration through the issue of Shares in lieu of that cash remuneration.
The Company has accordingly agreed, subject to Shareholder approval and the option being exercised by Adrian Floate, Peter Richards, Stephen Dale and/or Howard Digby (as applicable) to allot and issue Shares ( Related Party Shares ) to Adrian Floate, Peter Richards, Stephen Dale and/or Howard Digby (as applicable) pursuant to the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) and on the terms and conditions set out below. The purpose of the proposed issue of the Related Party Shares is to provide Share-based remuneration in lieu of what would otherwise have been cash remuneration due and payable to Directors as salary or fees.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.
The proposed issue of Related Party Shares (which is a type of equity security, for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.
A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.
The Board (other than Adrian Floate in respect of Resolution 11, Peter Richards in respect of Resolution 12, Stephen Dale in respect of Resolution 13 and Howard Digby in respect of Resolution 14) carefully considered the issue of the Related Party Shares to each Director the subject of Resolutions 11 to 14 (inclusive) and formed the view that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of those issues because they form part of the respective remuneration to each applicable Director as an officer of the Company and the remuneration is reasonable given the applicable Director’s circumstances and the circumstances of the Company.
Cirralto Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
41
Accordingly, approval will not be sought under Chapter 2E for the issue of the Related Party Shares as the issue of the Related Party Shares constitutes ‘reasonable remuneration’ in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.
Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
-
(a) 10.14.1: a director of the entity;
-
(b) 10.14.2: an associate of a director of the entity; or
-
(c) 10.14.3: a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.
The issue of Related Party Shares to Adrian Floate, Peter Richards, Stephen Dale and Howard Digby falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue such Related Party Shares, as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, Shareholders should note that the potential issue of Related Party Shares under the Plan will not be included in the 15% calculation imposed by Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolutions 11, 12, 13 and 14 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Shares to Adrian Floate, Peter Richards, Stephen Dale and Howard Digby (as applicable) under the Plan within three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
If Resolutions 11, 12, 13 and 14 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Shares to Adrian Floate, Peter Richards, Stephen Dale and Howard Digby under the Plan and the Company will be required to make cash remuneration to the Directors instead.
For the avoidance of doubt, Resolutions 11 to 14 are not inter-conditional.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15
The following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the issue of the Related Party Shares for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15:
-

-
(b) Each of Adrian Floate, Peter Richards, Stephen Dale and Howard Digby falls under Listing Rule 10.11.1 as a related party because they are each a Director.
-
(c) The number of Related Party Shares to be issued to each Director (or their nominee) will be determined by dividing the remuneration that the Company has agreed to pay to that Director by the deemed issue price of the Related Party Shares calculated in accordance with paragraph (f) below, provided that the maximum number of Related Party Shares to be issued to the Directors pursuant to Resolutions 11, 12, 13 and 14 are as follows:

This price is calculated based on a 10.6% discount to the market price of Shares as at 13 December 2021 ($0.047). As noted in paragraph (f) below, Related Party Shares will be issued half-yearly, on the basis of remuneration owing to each Director at that time, and at a fixed issue price of $0.042 for Related Party Shares to be issued to Adrian Floate and an issue price of no less than 10% of the VWAP of Shares as traded on ASX in the 15 trading days prior to the date of issue for Related Party Shares to be issued to Peter Richards, Stephen Dale and Howard Digby.

-

Annexure C – Terms and conditions of Employee Securities Incentive Plan
A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out below:
-
(a) ( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that:
-
(i) is an "eligible participant" (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000); and
-
(ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
-
(b) ( Purpose ): The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
(i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
(ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
-
(iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
-
(c) ( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
-
(d) ( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.
On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
-
(e) ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
-
(f) ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted
to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
-
(g) ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
-
(h) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise an Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.
An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
-
(i) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
-
(j) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:
- (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that
Cirralto Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
51
any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
-
(k) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
-
(l) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
-
(m) ( Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:
-
(i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
-
(ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.
-
(n) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
- (o) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of
Cirralto Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
52
Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
- (p) ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules 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 introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
- (q) ( Plan duration ): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
