3 Background
3.1 Issue of Replacement Attaching Options
In November 2024, the Company undertook an accelerated pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ), together with:
-
(a) one (1) free attaching Option for every New Share issued, exercisable at $0.035 per option and expiring on 31 January 2025 ( Attaching Options ); and
-
(b) one (1) bonus Option for every two (2) Attaching Options subscribed for and issued, exercisable at $0.07 per option and expiring on 31 January 2027 ( Bonus Options ),
( Entitlement Offer ).
Each Bonus Option vests and becomes exercisable if the holder of the Bonus Option exercises two (2) Attaching Options prior to the Attaching Options' expiry date of 31 January 2025 ( Vesting Condition ).
The Entitlement Offer was made pursuant to a prospectus dated 29 November 2023. The Attaching Options (and accompanying Bonus Options) have been issued to Shareholders who participated in the Entitlement Offer ( Entitlement Offer Participants ).
Post the closure of the Entitlement Offer, the Company examined the potential listing of the Attaching Options in order to provide the Entitlement Offer Participants with liquidity for the Attaching Options. However, due to the operation of the Vesting Condition, it is not practical (both legally and administratively) for the Company to list the Attaching Options
Accordingly, the Company is proposing to offer each Entitlement Offer Participant, other than the Directors, ( Non-Related Party Participants ) the choice to:
6
-
(a) cancel their Attaching Options and Bonus Options; and
-
(b) apply for an equivalent number of replacement attaching options with the terms detailed in Schedule 2 for nil cash consideration ( Replacement Attaching Options ).
Note that the Company is not proposing to offer the Replacement Attaching Options to the Directors who participated in the Entitlement Offer as the Directors have no intention of disposing of their Attaching Options.
The Replacement Attaching Options will have the same terms and conditions as the Attaching Options, save that:
-
(a) the Replacement Attaching Options will be quoted on the ASX, subject to the Company satisfying the quotation requirements; and
-
(b) upon the exercise of two (2) Replacement Attaching Options, the Company will issue one new replacement bonus option on the terms and conditions detailed in Schedule 3 ( Replacement Bonus Options ).
The Company is proposing to offer, and issue, the Replacement Attaching Options under a prospectus ( Prospectus ).
The cancellation of the existing Attaching Options and Bonus Options and issue of Replacement Attaching Options (with the right to receive a Replacement Bonus Option, subject to the exercise of two (2) Replacement Attaching Options) will be subject to:
-
(a) the Non-Related Party Participants completing an application form under the Prospectus;
-
(b) the Company receiving a sufficient number of applications under the Prospectus to satisfy the quotation requirements pursuant to the Listing Rules; and
-
(c) Shareholders approving the issue of the Replacement Attaching Options.
If Non-Related Party Participants do not apply for the Replacement Attaching Options under the Prospectus, they will continue to hold their existing Attaching Options and Bonus Options.
3.2 Consolidation
Subject to Shareholder approval (refer to Resolution 3), the Company also intends to undertake a 10 to 1 consolidation of its Shares, Options and Performance Rights on issue ( Consolidation ).
If Shareholders approve the Consolidation, the Replacement Attaching Options will be issued on a post-Consolidation basis. The record date and other key dates associated with the Consolidation are detailed in the indicative timetable below.
3.3 Indicative Timetable

As detailed in Section 3, the Company is seeking to cancel the existing Attaching Options and Bonus Options and issue up to 272,225,504 Replacement Attaching Options (preConsolidation) to Non-Related Party Participants who complete an application form under the Prospectus.
Resolution 1 seeks approval for the Company to cancel up to 272,225,504 Attaching Options (pre-Consolidation) or up to 27,222,551 Attaching Options (post-Consolidation) and up to 136,112,847 Bonus Options (pre-Consolidation) 13,611,285 Bonus Options (postConsolidation) issued to Non-Related Party Participants.

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
4.2 Listing Rule 6.23.2
Listing Rule 6.23.2 provides (amongst other things) that a change which has the effect of cancelling an option for consideration cannot be made without the approval of shareholders.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 6.23.2 as the issue of the Replacement Attaching Options constitutes a cancellation of the Attaching Options and Bonus Options for consideration, thereby triggering the requirements under Listing Rule 6.23.2.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to cancel the Attaching Options and Bonus Options and issue the Replacement Attaching Options on the terms and conditions detailed in Schedule 2.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to cancel the Attaching Options and Bonus Options and issue the Replacement Attaching Options to Non-Related Party Participants.

The Company intends to, subject to the satisfaction of the quotation requirements, seek quotation for the Attaching Options.
Resolution 2 seeks approval for the Company to issue up to 272,225,504 Replacement Attaching Options (pre-Consolidation) or up to 27,222,551 Replacement Attaching Options (post-Consolidation) to Non-Related Participants (and/or their nominees).
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution. Resolution 2 is conditional on the passing of Resolution 1.
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
5.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company is entitled to issue or agree to issue Equity Securities up to 15% of its issued share capital during any 12-month period, subject to specific restrictions, without needing prior Shareholder approval ( 15% Placement Capacity ).
The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Replacement Attaching Options on the terms and conditions detailed in Schedule 2, during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow), without using the Company's 15% Placement Capacity. In addition to the approval under Listing Rule 7.1, the Company is also seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 6.23.2, as the terms of the Replacement Attaching Options contain certain provisions which, on the occurrence of certain circumstances, constitute a cancellation of options for consideration (refer to Section 4.2 for further details).
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue up to 272,225,504 (preConsolidation) up to 27,222,551 (post-Consolidation) Replacement Attaching Options.

(ii) if Shareholders approve the Consolidation (in Resolution 3), 27,222,551.
None of the Non-Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company.
-
(b) The Replacement Attaching Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

(c) The Replacement Attaching Options will be issued for nil cash consideration and no funds are being raised from the issue.

5.4 Director Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
6 Resolution 3 – Consolidation of Capital
6.1 General
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the consolidation of Shares, Options and Performance Rights on issue on a 1 for 10 basis.
The purpose of the Consolidation is to implement a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company and a share price more appealing to a broader range of investors.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
6.2 Corporations Act and Listing Rule requirements
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a Company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.
The Listing Rules also require that the number of options on issue be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary shares and the exercise price of options be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. Similarly, the number or the conversion price (or both) of convertible securities (other than options) must be reorganised so that the holders of the convertible securities do not receive a benefit that holders of ordinary securities do not receive.
6.3 Effect of Resolution 3 on Shareholders
The Company has 1,817,680,335 Shares (pre-Consolidation) on issue at the date of this Notice.
The Consolidation proposed by Resolution 3 will have the effect of reducing the number of shares on issue to approximately 181,768,034 Shares. Individual holdings will be reduced in accordance with the Consolidation ratio.
11
The Consolidation applies equally to all members (subject only to the rounding of fractions), therefore, it will have no material effect on the percentage interest of each member in the Company. Further, the aggregate value of each member’s proportional interest in the Company will not materially change solely as a result of the Consolidation as the only anticipated changes, which will be a result of rounding, will be immaterial.
Theoretically, the market price of each Share following the Consolidation should increase by 10 times its current value. Practically, the actual effect on the market price of each Share will be dependent upon on a number of factors which will not be within the control of the Company. Therefore, this may result in the market price of each Share following Consolidation being higher or lower than the theoretical post Consolidation price.
6.4 Effect of Resolution 3 on Optionholders
The Company has 473,975,287 Options (pre-Consolidation) on issue at the date of this Notice.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.22, and the terms of issue of the Options currently on issue, the Consolidation will involve a corresponding adjustment to Options, having the effect that the number of Options will reduce in proportion to the ordinary share capital and the exercise price will increase in inverse proportion to the Consolidation ratio. The effect the Consolidation will have on the terms of Options is detailed below:
| Series | No. of Options (pre- Consolidation) |
Exercise Price (pre- Consolidation) |
No. of Options (post- Consolidation) |
Exercise Price (post- Consolidation) |
Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 5,000,000 | $0.06 | 500,000 | $0.60 | 14- Aug- 2026 |
| 2. | 15,000,000 | $0.045 | 1,500,000 | $0.45 | 27- Mar- 2026 |
| 3. | 34,250,000 | $0.0001 | 3,425,000 | $0.001 | 25- Aug- 2024 |
| 2. | 279,816,821 | $0.035 | 27,981,683 | $0.35 | 31- Jan- 2025 |
| 3 | 139,908,466 | $0.070 | 13,990,847 | $0.70 | 31- Jan- 2027 |
| Total | 473,975,287 | 47,397,530 |
6.5 Effect of Resolution 3 on Performance Right holders
The Company has 18,307,692 Performance Rights (pre-Consolidation) on issue at the date of this Notice.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.21, and the terms of issue of the Performance Rights currently on issue, the Consolidation will involve a corresponding adjustment to Performance Rights, having the effect that the number of Performance Rights will reduce in proportion to the ordinary share capital and the current vesting criteria will remain the same so that the holder of the Performance Rights does not receive a benefit that the holders of Shares do not receive. Unlike the Options, no amount is payable by the holder of a Performance Right in order to exercise that right. The effect the Consolidation will have on the Performance Rights is detailed below:
12
| Series | Number of Performance Rights Pre-Consolidation |
Number of Performance Rights Post Consolidation |
Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 6,000,000 | 600,000 | 12/01/2027 |
| 2. | 12,307,692 | 1,230,770 | 12/02/2027 |
| Total | 18,307,692 | 1,830,770 | - |
6.6 Fractional entitlements and taxation
