RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO CONSOLIDATE SHARE CAPITAL
1.1 The Proposal
This agenda item proposes the consolidation of the Company’s Share capital through the conversion of every 25 Shares into one Share. Under section 254H of the Corporations Act, a company may consolidate its shares if the consolidation is approved by an ordinary resolution of shareholders at a general meeting.
If the consolidation is approved, the consolidation will take effect on 4 May 2026. The following is an indicative timetable (subject to change) of the key events:
| timetable (subject to change) of the key events: | |

| First settlement date for trades made onpost-consolidation basis4 | 19 May2026 |
Notes:
1. If agreed by the ASX.
2. Last day to register transfers on a pre-consolidation basis.
3. Provided the register update takes place before noon (Sydney time), deferred settlement trading ends at close of trading on this day.
4. Providing the update of the register takes place before noon (Sydney time).
Where the consolidation of a Shareholder’s holding results in an entitlement to a fraction of a share, the fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote on it.
1.2 Reasons for the consolidation
The Company has a very large number of Shares on issue. The number of Shares on issue is approximately 4.2 billion, the effect of which is that price per share as traded on the ASX (the result of market capitalisation divided by the number of shares on issue) is so low that it is adversely impacting the Company’s equity funding options to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders.
The effect of the Listing Rules is that the Company’s capacity to and manner in which it can undertake a meaningful equity raising is seriously and detrimentally hampered by the current price at which the Company’s shares are trading on the ASX; the proposed consolidation will address this.
The Company is likely to propose the issue of further securities in the near future, so the capital is expected to be expanded prior to, and/or immediately following the consolidation.
1.3 Effect of the consolidation
If Shareholders approve the proposed Share consolidation, the number of Shares currently on issue will be reduced from approximately 4.2 billion to approximately 168.0 million.

==> picture [131 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
As the consolidation applies equally to all of the Company’s Shareholders, individual Shareholdings (in terms of absolute numbers) will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of the Company’s Shares (subject only to the rounding up of fractions). It follows that the consolidation will have no effect on the percentage interest of each individual Shareholder in the Company. Therefore, if a Shareholder currently has 4,214,394 Shares, representing approximately 0.1% of the Company’s issued capital, then if the Share consolidation is approved and implemented, the Shareholder will have 168,576 Shares following the consolidation, still representing the same 0.1% of the Company’s issued capital.
Similarly, the enterprise value of the Company should (theoretically) not change as a result of the Share consolidation alone. As a matter of plain math, the price per Share, should increase in inverse ratio to the consolidation (to reflect the reduced number of Shares on issue). In practice, however, the immediate post consolidation price per Share may be equal to, more or less than the mathematical result. The risk of the market capitalisation of the Company diminishing in immediate response to the consolidation is real. Equally, it is important to recognise that (the Directors believe) the market is telling us that the Company is a shell as reflected by its market capitalisation. Accordingly, the Directors believe it is reasonable to speculate that fundamentals should not see a serious (or indeed any) decline in market value simply because of the consolidation. Whilst some shareholders are opposed to the consolidation, it may well be that a consolidation will be viewed positively as reflecting good corporate management as it will expand the scope as to the manner in which capital raisings can be effected under the ASX Listing Rules. Whilst the Board has, for some time, respected (and still respects) the wishes of those shareholders opposed to its capital being consolidated it is no longer tenable for the Board to refrain from proposing a consolidation without adversely impacting the interests of the Company (and therefore current shareholders as a whole).
For example, the scope for pricing a new Share issue would likely be a barrier to a raising on preferential terms in the best interests of the Company. Bearing in mind the Company’s FP Shares last traded on-market at 0.1 cents and the minimum bid permitted under the ASX Operating Rules is 0.1 cents, the Company and potential investors would face the following constraints:
-
(a) (Listing Rules constraint): the issue price under any pro rata issue would be prohibited (because of ASX Listing Rule 7.11.2) from being less than 0.1 cents per Share; and
-
(b) (Liquidity constraints for exiting investors): Suppose a Shareholder wishes to exit their investment. If potential bidders on market are unwilling to make bids at or above 0.1 cents, it creates liquidity constraints. In other words, a lack of demand at or above this price point would make it challenging for investors to sell their shares on market. This liquidity concern could hinder the Company’s ability to raise capital on preferential terms.
1.4 Tax implications for Australian resident shareholders
The Share consolidation will be undertaken in accordance with section 254H of the Corporations Act. Subject only to rounding, there will be no change to the proportionate interests held by each Shareholder in the Company as a result of the consolidation.
The Share consolidation will occur through the conversion of every 25 Shares in the Company into one Share in the Company. No capital gains tax event will occur as a result of the Company’s Share consolidation and therefore there should be no taxation implications arising for the Company’s Australian resident Shareholders.
The summary in this section is general in nature. Accordingly, Shareholders are encouraged to seek and rely only on their own professional advice in relation to their tax position. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, employees or advisors assumes any liability or responsibility for advising Shareholders about the tax consequences for them from the proposed Share consolidation.
1.5 Effect of the consolidation on the Company’s Convertible Securities
Partly Paid Shares
As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has on issue partly-paid shares which are subject to payment of calls before being convertible into fully paid Shares.
Listing Rule 7.21 states that in a consolidation of capital, the number of convertible securities is reorganised so that the holder of the convertible security will not receive a benefit that holders of ordinary securities do not receive.
Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.21, if Shareholders approve the proposed consolidation, the convertible securities on issue are expected to be adjusted as follows:
Page | 5
==> picture [131 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
| Partly Paid Share Class |
Current | Current | Adjusted | Adjusted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number | Calls Payable | Approximate Number |
Calls Payable | |
| SRNAK | 188,785,323 | $0.027 | 7,551,413 | $0.675 |
| SRNAN | 70,000,000 | $0.0059 | 2,800,000 | $0.1475 |
| SRNAP | 350,000,000 | $0.0079 | 14,000,000 | $0.1975 |
The figures in the “Approximate number” column in the table above are subject to rounding, because each class of partly-paid share were issued for the benefit of more than one Partly-paid shareholder, and there may be minor rounding adjustments when each individual parcel is adjusted in accordance with the principles set out above.
Options
Listing Rule 7.22.1 states that in a consolidation of capital, the number of options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. Where the consolidation of an Option holder’s holding results in an entitlement to a fraction of an Option, the fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Options.
Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.22.1, if Shareholders approve the proposed consolidation, the Options on issue (or agreed to be issued) are expected to be adjusted as follows:
| Option Class | Current | Current | Adjusted | Adjusted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number | Exercise price | Approximate Number |
Exercise Price | |
| Expiry 30.11.2026 | 351,072,907 | $0.019 | 14,042,916 | $0.475 |
| Expiry 11.7.2027 | 1,307,843,046 | $0.004 | 52,313,722 | $0.100 |
The figures in the “Approximate number” column in the table above are subject to rounding, because each class of Option were issued for the benefit of more than one Option holder, and there may be minor rounding adjustments when each individual parcel is adjusted in accordance with the principles set out above.
1.6 Directors’ recommendation
Whilst recognising the inherent risk that the market capitalisation of the Company may drop in response to a consolidation and that there is an aversion to consolidations in the minds of many well-informed SRN shareholders, on balance, all the Directors consider that Resolution 1 is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Each Director has indicated that he intends to vote the Shares he owns or controls in favour of Resolution 1. The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the Resolution.
