held by eligible shareholders at the Record Date (defined below) at an issue price of A$0.011 each to raise up to A$2,621,785, together with one (1) free-attaching option (exercisable at A$0.019 and expiring on 30 November 2026 ( New Options )) on the same terms as the Placement Options for every one (1) New Share subscribed for and issued ( Entitlement Offer ). Holders of the 70,000,000 contributing shares that are partly paid to A$0.0001 (with A$0.0059 unpaid) are entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer as if those holders held fully paid ordinary shares. A total of up to 238,344,136 New Shares and 238,344,136 New Options will be issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer (assuming no shares are issued prior to the Record Date, other than the Placement Shares, and that all entitlements are taken up).

The Entitlement Offer is being made to all shareholders of the Company named on its register of members at 5:00pm (AWST) on 13 November 2023 ( Record Date ) whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand.

Investors who participated in the Placement will be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer in relation to the shares acquired under the Placement to the extent they are eligible shareholders, assuming that subscription funds are received (and Placement Shares are issued) before the Record Date.

All New Shares issued will rank equally with existing shares on issue. The Company will also apply to the ASX for quotation of the New Options, subject to compliance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules. The Entitlement Offer is being offered to shareholders under the Prospectus which will be dispatched in accordance with the timetable set out below.

The Entitlement Offer will include a top-up facility under which eligible shareholders who take up their full entitlements will be invited to apply for additional shares in the Entitlement Offer ( Top-Up Facility ). Additional shares will only be available where there is a shortfall between the applications received from eligible shareholders and the number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer. There is no guarantee that applicants under the Top-Up Facility will receive all or any of the shares they apply for under the Top-Up Facility. If eligible shareholders do not take up all of their pro-rata entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, it is anticipated that the shortfall will be allocated to eligible shareholders who apply to take up additional New Shares in accordance with the terms of the Top-Up Facility in the first instance. If any shortfall remains after the allocation to eligible shareholders provided above, the resulting shortfall may be placed by the directors of the Company in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The Joint Lead Managers will be paid a fee of 6% (exclusive of GST) of the proceeds received from any shortfall securities placed under the Entitlement Offer and are entitled to be issued with ten (10) New Options for every A$1 (one dollar) of funds raised from any shortfall securities placed.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. That means that shareholders who do not take up their entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer will not be able to transfer or receive any value for those entitlements, and their equity interest in the Company will be diluted.

The Entitlement Offer will not be underwritten.
