Proxies
Please note that:
-
a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also speak at the Meeting;
-
a proxy need not be a member of the Company;
-
a Shareholder may appoint a body corporate or an individual as its proxy;
-
a body corporate appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers that the body may exercise as the Shareholder’s proxy; and
-
Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.
The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as its proxy and the body corporate wishes to appoint an individual as its representative, the body corporate should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that company’s representative. The authority may be sent to the Company or its share registry in advance of the Annual General Meeting or handed in at the Annual General Meeting when registering as a corporate representative.
Members of the Key Management Personnel will not be able to vote as proxy on Resolution 1 unless the Shareholder directs them how to vote or, in the case of the Chair, unless the Shareholder expressly authorises him to do so. If a Shareholder intends to appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) as their proxy, the Shareholder should ensure that they direct the member of Key Management Personnel how to vote on Resolution 1.
If a Shareholder intends to appoint the Chair as their proxy for Resolution 1, Shareholders can direct the Chair how to vote by marking one of the boxes for Resolution 1 (for example, if the Shareholder wishes to vote ‘for’, ‘against’ or to ‘abstain’ from voting). If the Shareholder does not direct the Chair how to vote, then by submitting the Proxy Form, the
5
Shareholder will be expressly authorising the Chair to exercise the proxy in respect of Resolution 1 even though it is connected to the remuneration of members of the Key Management Personnel.
To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form. Please follow the instructions detailed on the Proxy Form to send it to the Company, so that it is received by no later than 8 am (WST) on 23 November 2021. Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.
Voting intentions of the Chair
The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions.
Voting entitlements
In accordance with Regulations 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register of Shareholders as at 4pm (WST) on 23 November 2021. Accordingly, transactions registered after this time will be disregarded in determining Shareholder’s entitlement to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.

1. REGULATORY INFORMATION
1.1 Annual Report
The Annual Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021, which includes the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report, will be laid before the Annual General Meeting.
There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report. However, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions or make comments about the Annual Report and the management of the Company.
A representative of the Company’s auditor, BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, is anticipated to be in attendance to respond to any questions raised of the auditor or on the Auditor’s Report in accordance with section 250T of the Corporations Act.
2. Resolution 1: Approval of Remuneration Report
2.1 General
Section 249L(2) of the Corporations Act requires a company to inform Shareholders that a resolution on the Remuneration Report will be put at the Annual General Meeting. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a resolution that the Remuneration Report adopted be put to a vote. Resolution 1 seeks this approval.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders should note that Resolution 1 is an “advisory only” resolution which does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Directors take the discussion at the Meeting and the outcome of the vote into account when considering the Company’s remuneration practices.
Following consideration of the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021, the Chair, in accordance with section 250SA of the Corporations Act, will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
2.2 Voting Consequences
If at least 25% of the votes cast on a resolution for the adoption of a Remuneration Report are voted against at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution proposing that another general meeting be held within 90 days, at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director (or person acting in that capacity)) would go up for re-election.
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 less than 25%. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
The Directors encourage all Shareholders to vote on Resolution 1.
3. Resolution 2: Re-Election of Director – Johannes Lin
3.1 Background
In accordance with clauses 11.1.3 and 11.1.4 of the Constitution, at every annual general meeting, one third of the Directors excluding the Managing Director must retire from office and are eligible for re-election. Under
7
clause 11.1.5 of the Constitution, the Directors to retire are to be those who have been longest in office since their last election. Among the Directors, Johannes Lin has been longest in office since his last election.
Listing Rule 14.4 states that no director is entitled to hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is longer. Johannes Lin retires by rotation at this Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
3.2 Qualifications
A summary of Mr Lin’s background and experience is set out below.
Mr Lin has over ten years of management experience as an entrepreneur and presently manages as Finance Director of Windsor Capital Pte Ltd, and Managing Director of both Windsor F&B Pte Ltd and Oprian Investments Pte Ltd which collectively owns and manages a diversified portfolio in Commercial Leasing in Manila, Philippines, a duo of Japanese Restaurants in Sentosa, Singapore, a Confectionery chain with franchisees and Automated Central Kitchen in Nanjing, China, a joint-development project for Hotel Development in Boracay, Philippines and a software development company in Singapore.

3.3 Directors Recommendation
Other than Mr Johannes Lin who does not make any recommendation in relation to his own re-election, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. Resolution 3: Approval of 10% Placement Facility
4.1
Background
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% ( 10% Placement Facility ).
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 at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $5.9m (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 14 October 2021).
Resolution 3 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 3 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 3 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.
8
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
(a) Period for which the 10% Placement Facility is valid
The 10% Placement Facility 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 10% Placement Facility 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 Section 4.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(c) Use of funds raised under the 10% Placement Facility
The Company intends to use any funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) and general working capital.
(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility, 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 or proposed to be issued as at 14 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 10% Placement Facility.
| Variable ‘A’ in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
50% decrease in Market Price $0.004 |
Current Market Price $0.008 |

Notes:
-
Assumes the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility. 2. 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 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
The market price used is $0.008, being the closing price of Shares on 14 October 2021.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the 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 Facility
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, share purchase plan, placement 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).
10
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its previous annual general meeting held on 20 November 2020 ( Previous Approval ).
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 25 November 2020, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
(g) Voting exclusion statement
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.
5. Resolution 4: Approval of Grant of Options to Justin Virgin
5.1 Background
The Board proposes, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 6,000,000 Options to Justin Virgin (or his nominee) for no cash consideration on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A.
The proposed issue of Options to Justin Virgin (or his nominee) requires Shareholder approval under both the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of 6,000,000 Options to Justin Virgin (or his nominee).
5.2
Chapter 2E of Corporations Act
Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company 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
-
(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.
The issue of Options to a Director requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the Options constitute giving a financial benefit and as Director, Justin Virgin is a related party of the Company.
It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances.
5.3
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
| 10.11.1 | a related party; |
|---|---|
| 10.11.2 | a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial |
| (30%+) holder in the company; | |
| 10.11.3 | 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; | |
| 10.11.4 | an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or |
| 10.11.5 | a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to |
| 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its | |
| shareholders, |
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
11
The issue of Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Options to Justin Virgin (or his nominee).
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to Justin Virgin (or his nominee) 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 Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options and may need to negotiate other incentive arrangements with its director Justin Virgin.
5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:
-
(a) The Options will be issued to Justin Virgin (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 4, who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director.
-
(b) The maximum number of securities to be issued to the Related Party (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 6,000,000 Options.
-
(c) The Options are to be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A.
-
(d) The Options will be issued 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 Listing Rules).
-
(e) The issue price of the Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Options.
-
(f) The purpose of the issue of the Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Mr Virgin and to align the interests of the Related Party with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of Mr Virgin in his role as a Director and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate Mr Virgin, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Party.
-
(g) The number and terms of the Options to be issued to Mr Virgin are considered to be in line with options issued to directors of similar ASX listed companies.
-
(h) In the event of exercise of the Options, funds raised will be used towards the working capital of the Company.
-
(i) The total annual remuneration paid to Justin Virgin for the 2021 financial year was $264,151 inclusive of superannuation entitlements (a total of $186,150 in cash and $78,001 in equity), and for the current year is estimated at $198,000 in cash inclusive of superannuation entitlements.
-
(j) The value of the Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Annexure B.
-
(k)
-
The Options are not being issued under an agreement.
-
(l) The relevant interests of Justin Virgin in securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice are 36,000,000 shares and 18,000,000 options.
-
(m) If the Options issued to the Related Party are exercised, a total of 6,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 735,761,009 (being the total number of Shares

on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 741,761,009 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no other options are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.82% by Mr Virgin.
The market price for Shares during the term of the Options would normally determine whether the Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
-
(n) The Company’s shares have a 12 month price range of a high of $0.014 and a low of $0.007 with the last sale price being $0.008 on 14 October 2021.
-
(o) The Directors, other than Justin Virgin, do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4. Directors, who do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 for the reasons set out at Section 5.5(f) and Section 5.5(g).
Justin Virgin, who stands to gain personally from the issue of the Options, declines to make any recommendation in relation to shareholders’ consideration of the resolution.
- (p) Neither the Company nor the Directors are aware of any undisclosed information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 4.
