- a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that changes to the Corporations Act made in 2011 mean that:

- the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
- if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
- if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (ie as directed); and
- if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie as directed).
Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:
- an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and
- the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
- at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and
- either of the following applies:

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. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021, together with the Directors' Declaration, the Directors' report, the Remuneration Report and the Independent Auditor's Report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's Annual Financial Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company's Annual Financial Report is available at the registered office of the Company. Please note the Company's auditor will attend the AGM and will answer any queries Shareholders may have.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the Company's remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company's annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election / re-election as directors is approved, will be the directors of the Company.
2.3 Previous voting results
At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were not more than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
2.4 Proxy voting restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

3 Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair's intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR ROBERT HERSOV

6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
6.1 General
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 may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% (7.1A Mandate).
An 'eligible entity' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of ~$27,000,000, which is lower than the threshold.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval. If Resolution 5 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 Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under 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.
6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:
(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
- (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
- (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum Price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
- (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section4.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for development of the Company's technology and for general working capital; or
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 7 October 2021.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.
| Dilution | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price | |||||
| $0.011 | $0.022 | ||||
| Number of Shares on Issue (VariableA in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) | Shares issued – 10%voting dilution | 50%decrease | Issue Price | 50% increase | |
| Funds Raised | |||||
| Current | 1,121,184,780Shares | 112,118,478Shares | $1,233,303 | $2,466,607 | $3,699,910 |
| 50% increase | 1,681,777,170Shares | 168,177,717Shares | $1,849,955 | $3,699,910 | $5,549,865 |
| 100% increase | 2,242,369,560Shares | 224,236,956Shares | $2,466,607 | $4,933,213 | $7,399,820 |
*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
- There are 1,121,184,780 quoted Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.
-
- The issue price set out above is the closing price of Shares on ASX on 7 October 2021, being $0.022.
-
- Emerge issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
- The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
- The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
- The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
- This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed
-
- The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
- The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A mandate, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
- the market price for Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
- Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:
- (i) the purpose of the issue;
- (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
- (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
- (v) prevailing market conditions; and
- (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 14 December 2020 (Previous Approval).
During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 31 January 2021, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
6.3 Voting Exclusion
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.
7. RESOLUTION 6 – GRANT OF SHARES TO MR FIRDHOSE COOVADIA
In consideration for Mr Coovadia's service on the Board and subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, the Board approved the grant to Mr Coovadia (or his respective nominee) of 3,000,000 Shares.
7.1 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:
- (a) obtain the approval of the public company's Shareholders in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
- (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
This issue of Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Coovadia is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. The Directors (other than Mr Coovadia who has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Shares because the Shares are being issued to Mr Coovadia's related entity on arm's length terms – the deemed issue price (being $0.022 the price at 7 October 2021) of the Shares is reasonable as it was negotiated with reference to the experience and skills that Mr Coovadia brings to the Board as well as remuneration packages for other non-executive directors and consultants with contacts across Africa.
7.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies. As the issue of the Director Securities involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
7.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:
-
(a) Mr Coovadia is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company;
-
(b) the Director Securities will be issued to Mr Coovadia (or his nominee);
-
(c) the number of Shares to be issued is 3,000,000;
-
(d) the Shares will be granted no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);
-
(e) the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they constitute fee and incentives for services provided (in his duties as an independent director) and are not issued under a separate agreement;
-
(f) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
-
(g) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares;
-
(h) the total remuneration package for Mr Coovadia for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:
| Related Party | Current Financial Year | Previous Financial Year |
|---|---|---|
| Firdhose Coovadia | $114,0001 | $87,8972 |
| 1. | Comprising director fees of $48,000 (not subject to superannuation) and share-based |
- payments of $66,000 (being the value of the Shares pursuant this Resolution).
-
- Comprising director fees of $48,000 (not subject to superannuation) and share-based payments of $39,897 (being the value of the Incentive Performance Rights issued in the prior year).
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Shares to Mr Coovadia (or his nominee) will not diminish the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
7.4 ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the shares to Mr Coovadia within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the shares will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
If the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue shares to Mr Coovadia and the Company will consider other forms of remuneration, including by the payment of cash, subject to the requirements of the Constitution, Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
8. RESOLUTION 7 & 8: REMOVAL AND APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

- (b) the auditor has given its written consent to act in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act.
Resolution 8 is a special resolution seeking the appointment of Hall Chadwick WA Audit Pty Ltd (Hall Chadwick) of 283 Rokeby Road, Subiaco WA 6008 as the new auditor of the Company. As required by the Corporations Act, a nomination for Hall Chadwick to be appointed as the auditor of the Company has been received from a member. A copy of the nomination is set out at Schedule A.
