Voting Exclusion

The Company will disregard any votes cast on this resolution by a person (and any associates of such a person) who may participate in the 10% Placement Facility and a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of Shares, if this resolution is passed.

  • (a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with directions on the proxy form; or

  • (b) it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This notice of meeting is accompanied by an Explanatory Memorandum which provides an explanation of the business of the meeting, including the proposed resolutions.

Voting entitlement

The board of directors of TZ Limited has determined in accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 that for the purpose of voting at the Annual General Meeting, shares will be taken to be held by those who hold them at 7.00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 27 November 2017. This means that if you are not the registered holder of a relevant share at the time, you will not be entitled to vote in respect of that share.

Voting by proxy

Each shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on behalf of that shareholder. The proxy need not be a shareholder. Please note that a proxyholder cannot vote on a show of hands but can speak at the meeting and can vote on a poll.

A shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint one or two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of shareholder's votes, each proxy may exercise half the votes (disregarding fractions). Neither proxy may vote on a show of hands.

In the event that a shareholder appoints a proxy and specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution:

  • where the proxy is not the Chairman:

  • (a) the proxy need not vote on a poll but if the proxy does so then the proxy must vote the way that the shareholder specifies; and

  • (b) if a poll is demanded and the proxy does not attend or vote, then the Chairman is taken to have been appointed as the proxy; and

  • where the Chairman is the proxy (including where the Chairman is taken to have been appointed the proxy as set out above) the proxy must vote on a poll and must vote the way that the shareholder specifies.

Impact of your proxy appointment on your voting instructions

If you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy and have not directed him how to vote, you are authorising the Chairman of the Meeting to cast your undirected vote on all proposed resolutions in accordance with his intentions set out below.

If you appoint any other Director or other member of the Key Management Personnel or their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, they will not be able to vote your proxy on Resolution 1 (Remuneration report), unless you have directed them how to vote.

If you intend to appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel or the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, you are encouraged to direct them how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking "For", "Against" or "Abstain" for that item of business.

The Chairman's voting intentions

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all the proposed resolutions. If there is a change to how the Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies, the Company will make an announcement to the ASX.

The Chairman's decision on the validity of a direct vote, vote cast by a proxy or vote cast in person, is conclusive.

CRAIG SOWDEN COMPANY SECRETARY 9 October 2017

TZ Limited ACN 073 979 272 Annual General Meeting Explanatory Memorandum

Important information

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of the shareholders of TZ Limited (the " Company ") in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held at 10.00 am (Sydney time) on 29 November 2017, at The Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Press Rooms 1, 2 and 3, Lower Ground Floor, 27 O’Connell Street, Sydney, New South Wales.

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information that the Directors believe to be material to shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the resolutions set out in the Notice. Amongst other things, this Explanatory Memorandum provides members with the information to be provided under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

You should read this document carefully.

This Explanatory Memorandum and the accompanying Notice are important. You should read each document in its entirety before deciding how to vote on the resolutions at the Meeting. If you are in doubt as to what you should do, you should consult your financial, legal or other professional adviser.

No investment advice

This Explanatory Memorandum does not constitute financial product advice and it does not purport to contain all the information that a prospective investor may require in evaluating a possible investment in the Company. This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared without taking account of any person’s particular investment objectives, financial situation or needs.

Role of ASX

Copies of this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice have been lodged with ASX for the purposes of Listing Rule 15.1.4. Neither ASX nor any of its officers take any responsibility for the contents of this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice.

Glossary

Unless otherwise defined in this document, capitalised terms have the meaning set out in the Glossary at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Financial Statements and Reports

The Corporations Act requires the financial report (which includes the Financial Statements and Directors' Declaration), the Directors' Report and Auditor's Report to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or the Company's Constitution for shareholders to approve the Financial Report, the Directors'

2

Report or the Auditor's Report. Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports.

Whilst no resolution is required in relation to this item, the auditor of the Company or their representative will be available to receive questions relevant to:

  • (a) the conduct of the audit;

  • (b) the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report;

  • (c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the Financial Statements; and

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Resolution 1 - Remuneration report

The annual report for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 contains a remuneration report which sets out the remuneration policies applicable to the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements that were in place for the Company's Directors and senior executives for the financial year ended 30 June 2017.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the meeting before shareholders are asked to vote on Resolution 1, to adopt the remuneration report.

The vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, your Directors will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

Under the provisions of the Corporations Act known generally as the "two strikes rule", shareholders should note that if 25% or more of the votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a " spill resolution ") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than any managing director who may continue to hold office indefinitely without re-election under the ASX Listing Rules) must stand for re-election. Shareholders should be aware that at the Company's 2016 annual general meeting, less than 25% of the votes that were cast voted against the adoption of the 2016 remuneration report and accordingly no spill resolution can result at this Annual General Meeting.

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in his own remuneration from the Company, the Board unanimously recommends to Shareholders that they vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Chairman intends to vote any proxies held by him in favour of Resolution 1 (unless the appointer directs him otherwise).

3

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Graham Lenzner as Director

Mr Graham Lenzner was appointed as an additional Director of the Company on 8 September 2017 by the Directors of the Company. Under the constitution of the Company, Mr Lenzner is required to retire from office at the next annual general meeting following his appointment, however he is eligible for re-election and may by resolution of the Company be re-elected to that office.

Accordingly, at the Meeting, Mr Lenzner will retire from office, however being eligible for re-election, offers himself for re-election as a Director.

Graham Lenzner brings a wealth of experience to the Board as an independent director. Graham has had a career spanning four decades, with particular emphasis on funds management and financial markets. Graham was an Executive Director of the Armstrong Jones Group for 12 years, the last four years as Joint Managing Director. Other previous roles include Finance and Deputy Managing Director of Aquila Steel, General Manager Finance and Investments of MMI Insurance Limited and Director Head of Equities with Schroder Darling Management Limited. Graham has served on the Board of a number of public and private companies. He is currently Chairman of Device Technologies Australia Pty Limited and an Independent Non-Executive Director of 360 Capital Group.

The continuing Directors unanimously support the re-election of Mr Graham Lenzner as a Director of the Company.

The Chairman intends to vote any undirected proxies held by him in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3 – Approval of consolidation of share capital

Why is shareholder approval being sought?

The purpose of the resolution in item 3 is to have shareholders approve the consolidation of the Company's issued capital by consolidating (i.e. converting) every 10 existing Shares on issue into one new Share (" Consolidation ") for the purposes of section 254H of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes.

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number of shares.

Set out below is further information in relation to the Consolidation, including information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.20 to be provided to shareholders in relation to the Consolidation.

Effect of Consolidation

If Resolution 3 is passed, every 10 existing Shares on issue will be consolidated into one Share, with the resolution to approve the Consolidation to take effect on 8 December 2017 and the Consolidation to take effect in accordance with the timetable set out on page 6. The effective date of Resolution 3 has been deferred until 8 December 2017 to ensure that the Rights Issue has completed before the Consolidation takes effect. The table below

4

shows the approximate number of Shares on issue immediately before and after the Consolidation, assuming:

  • settlement of the Rights Issue; and

  • there are no further changes to the Company's capital structure from the date of this Notice of Meeting until the Consolidation is implemented.

Number of Shares on issue as at the date of this
Notice of Meeting
503,983,352
Plus Shares to be issued under Rights Issue 201,593,341
Number of Shares on issue immediately prior to
Consolidation
705,576,693
Number of Shares on issue immediately following
Consolidation (subject to rounding)
70,557,670

As the Consolidation applies equally to all shareholders, individual holdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of the Company's Shares (subject only to rounding of fractions of resulting Shares in the manner as described below). It follows that the Consolidation will have no material effect on the percentage interest of each individual shareholder in the Company. Therefore, if a shareholder holds 7,055,767 Shares immediately prior to the Consolidation representing approximately 1% of the Company's issued capital, then if the Consolidation is approved and implemented, the shareholder will have 705,577 Shares following the Consolidation, still representing the same 1% of the Company's issued capital.

Similarly, the aggregate value of each TZL shareholder's holding (and the Company's market capitalisation) should not materially change – other than minor changes as a result of rounding – as a result of the Consolidation alone (and assuming no other market movements occur). However, the price per Share can be expected to increase to reflect the reduced number of Shares on issue. Theoretically, in the absence of market or other events, the post Consolidation Share price should be approximately 10x its preConsolidation price. The actual effect of the Consolidation on the Share price will depend on a number of factors outside the control of the Company, and the market price following the Consolidation may be higher or lower than the theoretical postConsolidation price.

With effect from the date of the Consolidation, all holding statements for Shares will cease to have any effect except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of post Consolidation Shares. After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will issue a notice to each shareholder advising the shareholder of the number of Shares held by the shareholder, both before and after the Consolidation. The Company will also arrange for a new holding statement to be issued to each shareholder.

The Consolidation will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of existing shareholders.

Effect of Consolidation on Options

5

There are 16,750,000 Options on issue as at the date of this Notice. The Options have the following key terms:

Tranche Number of Options Expiry date Exercise price
1 1,750,000 30 June 2018 $3.00
2 5,000,000 30 June 2018 25 cents
3 5,000,000 30 June 2019 40 cents
4 5,000,000 30 June 2020 60 cents

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Options and ASX Listing Rule 7.22, these Options will be consolidated on the same basis as the Company's Shares with the effect that the number of Shares the subject of each Option will be reduced by a factor of 10 and the exercise price will be increased by a factor of 10. After the Consolidation, there will be 1,675,000 unlisted Options. The following table sets out the effect of the Consolidation on the number of Options and respective exercise price of each tranche of Options if Resolution 3 is passed and becomes effective:

Tranche Number of Options Expiry date Exercise price
1 175,000 30 June 2018 $30.00
2 500,000 30 June 2018 $2.50
3 500,000 30 June 2019 $4.00
4 500,000 30 June 2020 $6.00

Fractional entitlements

The Consolidation will result in any shareholder in the Company whose existing holding is not a multiple of 10 receiving a fraction of a Share. These fractional entitlements will be rounded up as part of the Consolidation, so that the consolidated holding will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. If the Company reasonably believes that a shareholder has been a party to the division of a shareholding in an attempt to obtain an advantage from this treatment of fractions, the Company may take appropriate action, having regard to the Company's Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules. In particular, the Company reserves the right to disregard the division of the shareholding for the purposes of dealing with fractions so as to round up any fraction to the nearest whole number of Shares that would have been received but for the division.

Reasons for Consolidation

The Consolidation is proposed by the Company in order to reduce the number of Shares on issue and to increase the price per Share in the manner described above.

For a company of the size of TZL, the current number of Shares on issue is a large number to have on issue and it subjects the Company to a number of disadvantages, including:

  • (a) that the Company has a far greater number of Shares on issue than comparable companies, meaning that its share price is lower for reasons other than valuation;

6

  • (b) negative perceptions associated with a low share price; and

  • (c) administrative inconvenience.

The Directors believe that the Consolidation of the Shares would assist in eliminating or mitigating these disadvantages and would establish a share price more appropriate for a listed entity of its size.

The Consolidation will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of Shareholders. The Company's balance sheet and tax position will also remain unaltered as a result of the Consolidation.

Tax implications for shareholders

Shareholders are encouraged to seek professional advice in relation to any tax implications which may arise as a result of the Consolidation. 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 Consolidation.

Timing of Consolidation

Resolution 3 will take effect on 8 December 2017 and the Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following indicative timetable (subject to change) assuming that the resolution is passed at the Meeting:

Event Indicative Date
Annual General Meeting 29 November 2017
Effective date of resolution to approve Consolidation 8 December 2017
Last day for trading in pre-consolidated securities 11 December 2017
Trading commences in the consolidated securities on a 12 December 2017
deferred settlement basis
Last day to register transfers on a pre-Consolidation basis 13 December 2017
Registration of securities on post-Consolidation basis 14 December 2017
First day for Company to despatch new holding statements
Deferred settlement trading ends 20 December 2017
Last day for Company to despatch new holding statements
Normal trading commences 21 December 2017

Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend to Shareholders that they vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7

Resolution 4 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

1. General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting (" 10% Placement Facility "). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 2(c) below).

2. Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, namely Shares.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

8

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 503,983,352 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue 50,398,335 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. At the date of this Notice, the Company has capacity to issue 75,597,502 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 2(c) above).

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

9

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

(" 10% Placement Period ").

3. Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative).

4. Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities in any existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities in that class over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 4 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Unlisted Options, only if the Unlisted Options are exercised). There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares (which is assumed to be 3 cents, being the closing Share price on 26 September 2017) and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

10

  • (a) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and

  • (b) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (ii) No Unlisted Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iii) 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%.

  • (iv) 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 Meeting.

11

  • (v) 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.

  • (vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

  • (vii) The issue price is 3.0 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 26 September 2017.

  • (viii) Shares that may be issued under the Rights Issue are not taken into account for the purposes of the calculations made in preparing the above table.

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) to raise additional cash likely to be needed from time to time in order to obtain and fulfil new contracts of supply to the Company’s customers. The fulfilment of each contract requires expenditure by the Company on associated costs including manufacturing costs, in addition to normal operating expenses;

  • (ii) to raise cash for other purposes such as the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), the continued development and enhancement of the Company’s technology and/or general working capital; or

  • (iii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

12

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility may be limited to sophisticated and professional investors, to avoid the additional costs associated with regulatory compliance for an issue to retail investors.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.

  • (e) The Company has obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A previously, including at its 2016 annual general meeting held on 28 November 2016.

Since 28 November 2016 (that is, in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting) no Equity Securities have been issued by the Company.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

5. Board Recommendation

The Directors consider that the approval of the issue of the 10% Placement Facility described above is beneficial for the Company as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue up to the maximum number of securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A in the next 12 months (without further shareholder approval), should it be required. At the date of the Notice, the Company has no plans to use the 10% Placement Facility should it be approved. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
