EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS

From December 2020 until February 2021, the Company has been in discussions with ASX regarding:

  • (a) breaches of Listing Rule 10.11 identified by ASX (and by an independent review) that occurred by virtue of the issue of Shares as part of the Company’s capital raising undertaken to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules in September 2020 ( Re-Compliance Capital Raising ) and a placement conducted by the Company in December 2020 ( December Placement ); and

  • (b) the remedial action to be undertaken by the Company in relation to the unintentional breaches.

The result of discussions with, and submissions to, ASX has been that, as part of the remedial action to be undertaken by the Company (refer to ASX announcement dated 4 February 2021, the Company has entered into share cancellation deeds with three related parties; the Breach Entities , for the cancellation of Shares issued to them in breach of Listing Rule 10.11 by way of a selective capital reduction for consideration. It is noted that, since the breaches were identified, holding locks have been placed on the Shares the subject of Resolutions 1 to 3 of the Notice of General Meeting (and each of the Special Meetings) such that the Breach Entities have not been able to trade them.

The Breach Entities all paid cash for the Shares the subject of the Selective Capital Reductions, either as part of the Re-Compliance Capital Raising or the December Placement. ASX, the Company and the Breach Entities have therefore all agreed that cancellation of the Shares by way of a selective capital reduction for the consideration paid by each Related Party for the Shares the subject of Resolutions 1 to 3 of the Notice of General Meeting (and each of the Special Meetings) is appropriate remedial action to take in these circumstances.

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3 OF GENERAL MEETING, RESOLUTION 1 OF SPECIAL MEETING 1, RESOLUTION 1 OF SPECIAL MEETING 2 AND RESOLUTION 1 OF SPECIAL MEETING 3 – SELECTIVE CAPITAL REDUCTIONS

2.1 Background

The purpose of Resolutions 1 to 3 of the Notice of General Meeting is to seek the requisite approval of Shareholders required under the Corporations Act for the selective reduction and cancellation of:

  • (a) 90,909 Shares held by Breach Entity #1 for consideration of $20,000 (being $0.22 per Share subscribed for and issued under the December Placement);

  • (b) 59,091 Shares held by Breach Entity #2 for consideration of $13,000 (being $0.22 per Share subscribed for and issued under the December Placement);

8

NOM (General Meeting) - DOU (16 02 21)(2613932.1)

  • (c) The following Shares held by Breach Entity #3:

  • (i) 590,909 Shares for consideration of $129,999.98 (being $0.22 per Share subscribed for and issued under the December Placement); and

  • (ii) 232,500 Shares for consideration of $6,975 (being $0.03 per Share subscribed for and issued under the Re-Compliance Raising),

(together, the Selective Capital Reductions ).

The effect of Resolutions 1 to 3 of the Notice of General Meeting will be a selective capital reduction and cancellation of a total of 973,409 Shares held by the Breach Entities for total consideration of $169,974.98.

Each of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 of the Notice of General Meeting is a special resolution, and therefore requires not less than 75% of all votes cast on each Resolution must be in favour of each Resolution to be passed.

The purpose of Resolution 1 of each of Special Meeting 1, Special Meeting 2 and Special Meeting 3 is to seek the requisite approval of each of the Breach Entities required under the Corporations Act for the selective reduction and cancellation of their Shares. Resolution 1 of the General Meeting is conditional upon Resolution 1 of Special Meeting 1 being passed; Resolution 2 of the General Meeting is conditional upon Resolution 1 of Special Meeting 2 being passed and Resolution 3 of the General Meeting is conditional upon Resolution 1 of Special Meeting 3 being passed.

2.2 Corporations Act – selective capital reductions

Pursuant to section 256C of the Corporations Act, a company may make a selective capital reduction if it is approved by a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by any person who is to receive consideration as part of the reduction or whose liability to pay amounts unpaid on shares is to be reduced.

The Corporations Act provides that the rules relating to a reduction of share capital are designed to protect the interests of shareholders and creditors by:

  • (a) addressing the risk of the transaction leading to the Company’s solvency;

  • (b) seeking to ensure fairness between the shareholders of the Company; and

  • (c) requiring the Company to disclose all material information.

In particular, section 256B of the Corporations Act requires that a Company may only reduce its capital if:

  • (a) it is fair and reasonable to the shareholders as a whole;

  • (d) it does not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors; and

  • (e) it is approved by shareholders in accordance with section 256C of the Corporations Act.

NOM (General Meeting) - DOU (16 02 21)(2613932.1)

Section 256C(4) of the Corporations Act requires that the Company must include with the notice a statement setting out all information known to the Company that is material to the decision on how to vote on the resolution. However, the Company does not have to disclose information if it would be unreasonable to require the Company to do so because the Company had previously disclosed the information to shareholders.

The Directors believe that the Selective Capital Reductions as proposed are fair and reasonable to Shareholders for the following reasons:

  • (a) the Selective Capital Reduction will only result in the cancellation of the Shares issued to the Breach Entities;

  • (b) the Selective Capital Reduction will not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors and will have minimal financial effect on the Company as the consideration to be paid for the Shares to be cancelled totals $169,974.98, being the amount paid by the Breach Entities for the Shares being cancelled;

  • (c) the financial effect on cash reserves of the Selective Capital Reduction on the Company will be minimal, with total consideration of $169,974.98 proposed to be provided for the Selective Capital Reduction. With cash of ~$16M (refer to the Company’s Appendix 4C released on 29 January 2021) the Company does not consider that the financial effect of the Selective Capital Reduction on cash reserves will be material; and

  • (d) the Selective Capital Reductions serve to rectify technical breaches of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

The Directors do not consider that there are any material disadvantages to the Company undertaking the Selective Capital Reduction.

Further, as the Selective Capital Reductions involve the cancellation of Shares, section 256C(2) of the Corporations Act requires that the Selective Capital Reduction must also be approved by a special resolution passed at a meeting of the shareholders whose shares are to be cancelled.

Special Meetings 1, 2 and 3 are being held after the General Meeting, at which each of the Breach Entities will vote on the Selective Capital Reductions that apply to them, for the purpose of satisfying section 256C(2) of the Corporations Act.

2.3 Summary of and Effect of Proposed Selective Capital Reductions

The overall effect of the Selective Capital Reductions will be to reduce the number of Shares currently on issue from 655,652,144 Shares to 654,678,735 Shares.

The primary purpose of the Selective Capital Reductions is to comply with the remedial action that has been agreed between the Company and ASX in relation to breaches of Listing Rule 10.11 that unintentionally occurred by the Company issuing the Shares the subject of Resolutions 1 to 3 of the Notice of General Meeting (and Resolution 1 of each Special Meeting) without first seeking Shareholder approval to do so.

2.4 Share cancellation deeds

  • (a) With no admission of liability on behalf of the Company or the relevant Breach Entity, each Breach Entity has agreed to the cancellation of the Shares, the release of all of the Breach Entity’s rights and the release of the Company from all of its obligations in respect of the Shares on the terms and conditions set out in the deed.

  • (b) The Shares are currently the subject of a voluntary holding lock and the holding lock will remain in place until the Shares are cancelled.

  • (c) The cancellation of the Shares is conditional upon the Company:

  • (i) obtaining the requisite shareholder approvals for, and undertaking, a selective capital reduction, for consideration equal to the subscription price with respect to the Shares, in accordance with section 256B of the Corporations Act; and

  • (ii) subject to receipt of the requisite shareholder approvals, paying the relevant Related Party the consideration.

  • (d) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Shares will be irrevocably cancelled.

  • (e) With effect from the date on which the conditions are satisfied:

  • (i) Each Breach Entity releases and discharges the Company from all Claims that the Breach Entity may have against the Company in relation to the Shares or their cancellation; and

  • (ii) the Company releases and discharges each Breach Entity from all Claims that the Company may have against each Related Party in relation to the Shares or their cancellation.

2.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act (General Meeting)

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
