EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of the Company to be held at Level 1, 675 Murray Street, West Perth WA 6005 at 4:00 pm WST on 20 July 2020.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES AND ATTACHING OPTIONS

1.1 Background

As announced on 23 April 2020, the Company has completed a capital raising via the issue of approximately 8,400,000 Shares to professional and sophisticated investors, along with one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed ( April Placement )( April Participants ).

The funds raised under the April Placement will be used to complete technical and economic studies which are underway across Davenport’s significant portfolio of potash assets in Germany and for general working capital.

On 23 April 2020, pursuant to the April Placement the Company issued a total of 5,750,000 Shares ( April Placement Shares ) and 2,875,000 free attaching Options ( April Placement Options ) to professional and sophisticated investors who participated in the April Placment ( April Placement Securities ).

Subject to Shareholder approval, certain Directors of the Company intend to also participate in the April Placement. The terms in which are set out in Resolutioins 2 and 3.

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 12 month period.

The issue of the April Placement Securities does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the April Placement Securities .

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the April Placement Securities.

14

This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the April Placement Securities.

1.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the April Placement Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue with Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the April Placement Securities.

If this Resolution is not passed, the April Placement Securities will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the April Placement Securities .

1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) the April Placement Securities were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who were identified by the Directors. The recipients were identified through a process of contacting major shareholders and contacting an investor who had shown a keen interest to invest in the company. None of the recipients were related parties of the Company;

  • (b) 5,750,000 Shares and 2,875,000 Options were issued;

  • (c) the Shares issued to participants in the April Placement Securities were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Options issued to participants in the April Placement Securities were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the April Placement Securities were issued on 23 April 2020;

  • (f) the issue price per Share was $0.05 and the issue price of the Options was nil as they were issued free attaching with the Shares on a one for two basis. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the April Placement Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the April Placement Securities was to raise $287,500, which will be applied towards fund advisory services, investor relations, working capital and administration costs while the Company seeks to engage a strategic partner to develop its attractive potash projects in Germany;

  • (h) the April Placement Securities were not issued under an agreement; and (i) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 1 to 14 of the Notice.

15

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL FOR RELATED PARTY PARTICIPATION IN APRIL PLACEMENT – MR RORY LUFF

2.1 General

As announced on 14 April 2020, pursuant to the April Placement as set out at section 1.1 above, Mr Rory Luff (or their respective nominee) wishes to participate in the April Placement on the same terms as other investors.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to a total of 650,000 April Placement Shares and 325,000 free attaching April Placement Options to Mr Rory Luff (or their respective nominees) arising from the proposed participation in the April Placement ( Participation ).

2.2 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:

  1. obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  2. 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 Participation will result in the issue of April Placement Shares and April Placement Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit to Mr Rory Luff (or their respective nominee) who is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Rory Luff who has a material personal interest in this Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the April Placement Shares and April Placement Options will be issued to Mr Rory Luff (or their nominee) on the same terms as the April Placement Shares and April Placement Options issued to non-related party participants in the April Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

2.3 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;

16

  • 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.

The Participation 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.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the Mr Luff Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If this Resolutions is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Participation 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.1 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If this Resolutions is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the April Placement.

Accordingly, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 1,075,269 April Placement Shares to Dr Reinout Koopmans (or his nominee), as a result of the proposed Koopmans Participation on the terms set out below.

The Directors (other than Dr Reinout Koopmans) who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Koopmans Participation because the Shares will be issued to Dr Reinout Koopmans (or their nominee) on varied terms in that Dr Reinout Koopmans will not be issued any April Placement Options and will only be issued April Placement Shares at a marginally discounted price (and as more particularly described below) however otherwise on the same terms and conditions as those issued to non-related party participants, notwithstanding the varied terms being offered, the Directors are of the belief giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

3.3 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 2.3 above.

The Koopmans Participation 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.

As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ADOPT DIRECTOR AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT FEE AND REMUNERATION SACRIFICE SHARE PLAN

4.1 General

The Board has recently prepared a Director and Senior Management Fee and Remuneration Sacrifice Share Plan ( Plan ) under which Directors and senior management ( Senior Managers ) of the Company who are eligible to be offered shares without prospectus disclosure may elect to sacrifice part of their directors’ fees or consulting fees to acquire Shares in the Company. Under the Plan, the relevant Director or Senior Manager will receive the remainder of their directors’ fees or consulting fees in cash. As such, the Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration and no funds will be raised as a result.

The objective of the Share Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Share Plan and the future issue of Shares under the Share Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Shares under the Share Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Shares to eligible participants under the Share Plan (up to the maximum number of Shares stated in Section 4.2(d) below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Shares under the Share Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares under the Share Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Shares will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Shares.

20

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Share Plan is set out in section 4.2 below;

  • (b) the Company has not issued any Shares under this new Share Plan as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Share Plan;

  • (c) the maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan is 25,876,487. It is not envisioned that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is being sought will be issued immediately; and

  • (d) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 1 to 14 of this Notice.

4.3 Principal terms of the Plan

Subject to Shareholder approval, it is proposed that present and future Directors and certain Senior Managers as chosen by the Board, be offered the opportunity to participate in the Plan and be able to elect to sacrifice part of their directors’ fees or executive remuneration to acquire Shares under the Plan.

If Resolutions 5 to 9 are approved, it is anticipated that participation in the Plan will be made available to the Directors from 1 May 2020. Offers to participate may be extended to Senior Managers in the future as the Board considers appropriate.

The principal terms of the Plan are as follows:

  • (a) Participation

Participation in the Plan is voluntary. All Directors in office from time to time are eligible to participate (unless participation by a Director would be contrary to law or be unduly onerous). In the event that a Director elects to participate in the Plan, participation at the elected level (i.e. percentage of fees sacrificed) will be mandatory for a period of 12 months.

Where a Director has opted to participate in the Plan and, before the Shares relating to that period have been issued, the Director ceases to be a Director of the Company, the Director will either be issued a number of Shares or an amount in cash calculated based on the fees sacrificed up to the date on which the participant ceased to be a Director.

Currently there are four Directors who are each eligible to participate: Dr Chris Gilchrist (managing director), Dr Reinout Koopmans (non-executive chairman), Rory Luff (non-executive director), Patrick McManus (nonexecutive director)and Hansjoerg Plaggemars (non-executive director).

Invitations to participate in the Plan may be extended to Senior Managers at the Board’s discretion.

(b) Commencement date

21

Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained, the terms of the Plan commence from 1 May 2020 and the Directors can sacrifice their respective directors’ fees from that date.

(c) Minimum and maximum participation

Participants in the Plan may elect the percentage (up to a maximum of 30%) of their annual directors’ fees or executive remuneration (as applicable) they wish to sacrifice per annum.

The Plan restricts payments being made if they would result in the Company exceeding:

  • (i) the maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.17 from time to time; and

  • (ii) an aggregate amount of $108,000 worth of Shares per annum for all executive directors of the Company from time to time (currently the Company has only one executive director, Dr Chris Gilchrist).

The Plan does not extend to amounts payable in respect of Goods and Services Tax ( GST ). If the Company is liable to pay GST to participating Directors in respect of the provision of services, then it will do so in cash.

(d) Timing of acquisition and number of Shares

Entitlement to Shares will accrue on a monthly basis and the number of Shares to be issued will be determined at the end of each month based on the amount sacrificed divided by the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Shares trading on the ASX over the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the end of the month.

Allocation of Shares will be made at six (6) month intervals. If the Company is unable to issue Shares at the end of a six (6) month period without breaching the Company’s share trading policy ( Share Trading Policy ) or an applicable law, Shares will then be issued as soon as practicable in compliance with the Share Trading Policy and all applicable laws.

(e) Shares acquired

Participating Directors and Senior Managers will receive fully paid ordinary shares in the Company that rank equally in all respects with other issued fully paid shares in the Company.

(f)

Restriction periods

There will be no restriction period applicable to Shares issued under the Plan although Shares will only be issued in compliance with the Company’s Share Trading Policy and all applicable laws.

(g) Acquisition costs

It is not envisaged that there will be any costs to Directors or Senior Managers to acquire Shares under the Plan. There will be no loan made

22

available to Directors or Senior Managers in relation to the acquisition of Shares under the Plan.

If Shares are not able to be allocated to a participating Director or Senior Manager (e.g. because of legal impediments applicable at the time), the issue of Shares may be delayed or alternatively, at the Board’s discretion, be paid to the Director or Senior Manager in cash.

(h) Details of Shares issued under Plan

As the Plan has not yet commenced, no Shares have yet been issued or otherwise acquired under it.

Details of any Shares issued under the Plan will be published in the Company’s Annual Report relating to the period in which Shares have been issued, with a statement that approval for the issue of Shares was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders, Shares will not be issued under the Plan after 3 years from the date of the General Meeting without obtaining Shareholder approval.

5. RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 9 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES UNDER THE DIRECTOR AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT FEE AND REMUNERATION SACRIFICE SHARE PLAN

5.1 Shares to be issued under the Plan

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval and to the adoption of the Plan (refer Resolution 4), to issue up to the number of shares equal to 30% of the respective Directors salary (as noted in section 5.5(b) below) divided by the 5 day VWAP of Shares as traded on the ASX, to Patrick McManus, Chris Gilchrist, Rory Luff, Dr Reinout Koopmans and Hansjoerg Plaggemars (or their nominees) ( Related Parties ) pursuant to the Plan and on the terms and conditions set out below ( Incentive Shares ).

The issue of Incentive Shares to the Directors in lieu of accrued cash payments for remuneration under the terms of the Plan will allow the Company to maintain its cash reserves to the extent of Director participation in the Plan.

The maximum number of Incentive Shares under the Plan that a Director can receive in a financial year will is 30% of their current remuneration for that year which is sacrificed and satisfied by the issue of Shares.

Set out below are some examples of the number of Shares that may be issued to Directors and Senior Managers under the Plan, based on various assumed prices for Shares. These are examples only and Shareholders should be aware that the actual number of Shares to be issued to Directors and Senior Managers may vary, based on the prevailing Share price at the time the number of Shares to be issued is calculated, and the percentage of fees (or executive remuneration) each Director or Senior Manager elects to sacrifice.

The total amount of annual directors’ fees and executive remuneration currently being paid to the eligible directors is $485,000 ($350,000 to the executive director with the remaining $135,000 being paid to the non-executive directors in varying proportions).

If each of the Directors elect to sacrifice the maximum amount permitted of 30% for a 12 month period, this will result in a maximum salary sacrifice value of

23

$145,500 for all Directors (based on current director fees and executive remuneration). Based on an assumed market price of $0.04 per Share (being the closing market price on 16 June 2020), the total number of Shares that could be issued to Directors if they sacrificed the full 30% of their current fees would be 3,637,500. This would dilute current shareholders by the percentages set out below based on the Company’s current share capital:

Description Ordinary fully paid Dilution
shares
Current share capital 172,509,917 2.11%

Set out below is a further table showing the maximum dilution assuming the fees paid to each of the non-executive directors are increased to the maximum currently permitted under Listing Rule 10.17 (being $500,000) and the executive directors are increased to the maximum permitted under the Plan (being $150,000). Again, based on a Share price of $0.04 per Share, the total number of ordinary shares that could be issued to Directors if they sacrificed the full 30% and increased their fees to the maximum permitted under the Listing Rules and the restriction on executive directors under the Plan (being $108,000) would be 6,450,000 Shares. This would dilute current shareholders as follows:

Description Ordinary fully paid Dilution
shares
Current share capital 172,509,917 3.74%

The trading history of the Shares on the ASX in the 12 months preceding the preparation of this Notice is set out below.

Date Price
Highest 27 June 2019 $0.055
Lowest 13 March 2020 $0.030
Last 16 June 2020 $0.040

While the Plan provides for the number of Shares to be issued to be calculated at the end of each month during the period, it is not practical for such specific calculations to be made for the purposes of this Explanatory Memorandum (particularly because such calculations would be forward looking and inherently uncertain). Accordingly, for the purposes of the calculations set out in the tables above, it is assumed that the price used is the price for each month of the period.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.14

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in section 2.2 above.

The issue of the Incentive Shares to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

As the Incentive Shares are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Incentive Shares. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Incentive

24

Shares to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

5.3 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.14.1 a director of the entity;

  • 10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or

  • 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

The issue of Incentive Shares to the Related Parties falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 5 to 9 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Shares under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 5 to 9 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Shares to the Related Parties under the Plan within three years 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 Incentive Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Incentive Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 5 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Shares to the Related Parties under the Plan and will need to consider alternative forms of remuneration.

5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 to 9:

  • (a) the Incentive Shares will be issued to the following persons:

  • (i) Patrick McManus (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5; (ii) Chris Gilchrist (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 6; (iii) Rory Luff (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 7;

  • (iv) Dr Reinout Koopmans (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 8; and

(v) Hansjoerg Plaggemars (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 9,

25

each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being a Director;

(b) the maximum number of Incentive Shares to be issued to the Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 3,637,500, based on each Director sacrificing 30% of their current fees for the 12 month period ending 30 April 2020 and a Share price of $0.04 per ordinary share, each Director will be issued approximately the number of Shares detailed below:

6. RESOLUTIONS 10 TO 14 – APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTORS

6.1 Background

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 2,553,435 Shares ( Related Party Shares ) to Patrick McManus, Chris Gilchrist, Rory Luff, Dr Reinout Koopmans and Hansjoerg Plaggemars (or their nominees)( Related Parties ) in lieu of fee owed to the Directors as follows:

28

  • (a) Resolution 10 : $26,250 owed to Mr McManus in respect of the period from 1 October 2019 to 30 April 2020;

  • (b) Resolution 11 : $35,000 owed to Dr Gilchrist in respect of the period from 1 October 2019 to 30 April 2020;

  • (e) Resolution 14 : $17,500 owed to Mr Plaggemars in respect of the period from 1 October 2019 to 30 April 2020,

on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolutions 10 to 14 reflect the related parties’ desire to assist the Company to conserve as much cash as possible by agreeing to the issue of Shares in lieu of fees owing to them.

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 2.2 above.

The issue of the Related Party Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs McManus, Gilchrist, Luff, Koopmans and Plaggemars are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

As the Related Party Shares are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Related Party Shares. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Related Party Shares to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

6.3 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 2.3 above.

The issue of Related Party Shares 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.

Resolutions 10 to 14 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Shares under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

6.4

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 10 to 14 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Shares to the Related Parties 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 Related Party Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

29

If Resolutions 10 to 14 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Shares and the Company will be required to renegotiate with the Directors an alternate form of remuneration repayment.
