EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Purpose of Information
This Explanatory Statement accompanies and forms part of the Company’s Notice of Meeting for its 2024 Annual General Meeting which will be held virtually via webinar conferencing facility.
The Notice of Meeting incorporates, and should be read together, with this Explanatory Statement.
Receipt and Consideration of Accounts and Reports
A copy of the Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2024 which incorporates the Company's financial report, reports of the Directors (including the Remuneration Report and the auditors) is not enclosed as there is no longer a requirement for the Company to incur the printing and distribution cost associated with doing so for all Shareholders. You may obtain a copy free of charge in hard copy form by contacting the Company by phone at +61 2 9137 7300, and you may request that this occurs on a standing basis for future years.
Alternatively, you may access the Annual Report at the Company's website: http://tz.net or via the Company's announcement platform on ASX under the ASX Code “TZL”. Except as set out in Resolution 1, no resolution is required on these reports.
Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the 2024 Annual Report and the management of the Company. The auditor will be invited to attend to answer questions about the audit of the Company’s 2024 Annual Financial Statements.
Resolution 1 Adoption of Remuneration Report
1.1 Background
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report must be put to the vote at the Annual General Meeting. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.
In accordance with Section 250SA of the Corporations Act, shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions concerning, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if twenty five (25%) per cent or more of 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 the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.
It is noted that at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report represented less than twenty-five (25%) per cent of the total votes cast on that resolution and accordingly, a spill resolution will not be required for the Meeting.
Page 8 of 22
The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.
1.2 Directors’ Recommendation
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as such interests are described in the Remuneration Report) and, as described in the voting exclusions on this resolution (set out in the Notice of Meeting), that each Director (or any Closely Related Party of a Director) is excluded from voting their shares on this resolution, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to adopt the Remuneration Report.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.
1.3 Voting Exclusions
See Note 6 for voting exclusions on this resolution.
Resolution 2 Re-Election of Mr Peter Graham as a Director of the Company
2.1 Background
The Company’s Constitution requires that, a director (except for the managing director) must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following that director’s appointment or last election; or for more than three (3) years, whichever is longer. The retiring directors are eligible for re-election. Mr Graham was last elected on 27 January 2022.
Peter is an experienced corporate advisor with a comprehensive financial background. Initially in accountancy before a decade of Treasury roles with Westpac and UBS, Peter switched to equities in the 1990’s and has over 20 years’ experience as a research analyst, institutional dealer and corporate advisor. The significant finance and capital markets experience was to the fore after Peter joined the board as Chairman, with TZ embarking on successful capital raises to substantially reduce the Group’s debt.
2.2 Directors Recommendation
The Board (with Mr Peter Graham abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Graham.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.
2.3 Voting Exclusions
See Note 6 for voting exclusions on this resolution.
Resolution 3 Re-Election of Mr Simon White as a Director of the Company
2.4 Background
Page 9 of 22
The Company’s Constitution requires that, a director (except for the managing director) must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following that director’s appointment or last election; or for more than three (3) years, whichever is longer. The retiring directors are eligible for re-election. Mr White was last elected on 27 January 2022.
Post a successful AFL career, Simon worked in corporate advisory and equity capital markets, with initial experience at Patersons Stockbroking before joining Sequoia Financial Group (SEQ) and then the Delcor Family office. In this time Simon worked on IPO’s, equity placements, corporate advisory and restructuring. He has worked on a variety of deals across many business sectors. Recently, Simon has been Director of Investor Relations with Paradigm Biopharma. Simon’s skills in corporate governance will be most beneficial to the TZ Limited board.
2.5 Directors Recommendation
The Board (with Mr Simon White abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr White.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.
2.6 Voting Exclusions
See Note 6 for voting exclusions on this resolution.
Resolution 4 Approval of Issues of Securities under TZL’s Equity Incentive Plan;
4.1 Background
Shareholders previously approved TZ Limited’s Equity Incentive Plan ( EIP or the Plan ).
The objectives of the Plan are to:
-
provide Eligible Employees with an additional incentive to improve the performance;
-
attract and retain talents essential for the continued growth and development of the Company;
-
promote and foster loyalty and support amongst the employees for the benefit of the Company;
-
enhance the relationship between the Company and the talents for the long-term mutual benefit of all parties; and
-
provide the employees with the opportunity to acquire shares, options or rights in the Company, in accordance with the EIP.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a limit on the number of equity securities which the Company can issue in a given 12month period without prior shareholder approval. If Shareholders approval is obtained in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the number of equity securities issued under the approved employee incentive scheme will be exempted from being counted towards the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 issuing capacity. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13) provides an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within three (3) years after shareholder approval.
The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13) for issuing securities under its EIP for the next three (3) years. A copy of the EIP rules is available on the Company’s website at https://tz.net/investors/corporate-governance/.
Page 10 of 22
The Board is committed to incentivising and retaining the Company’s Directors, employees and consultants in a manner which promotes alignment of their interests with shareholders’ interests. Additionally, the Board considers equity-based compensation an integral component of the Company’s remuneration platform. It will allow the Company to conserve and improve its cash flow position whilst offering competitive remuneration incentives to its employees.
The Plan will enable the employees, Directors or such other persons as the Board should deem eligible, to receive shares, options or rights to acquire shares in the Company.
No directors or their associates can or will be issued shares, options or rights under the Plan unless shareholder approval of each specific proposed issue is obtained.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the maximum number of securities proposed to be granted under the EIP in the three (3) years period from the date of this Meeting will be 12,829,155, being 5% of the total issued Shares as at 3 October 2024. This maximum amount is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued under the EIP, but is simply a maximum number for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13) to allow the Company to grant up to the threshold amount over the three (3) years period without reducing its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Any additional issues under the EIP above that number would be made using the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to preserve the flexibility to use its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for each of the 12-month period in the next three (3) years for issuing securities that are not related to the EIP. If this Resolution is approved, the Company will be able to issue equity securities under the EIP to eligible participants over a period of three (3) years and those equity securities will not count towards the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 applicable at the relevant time. If this Resolution is not approved, issues of securities under the EIP will be subject to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 applicable at the relevant time.
If Shareholders approve this Resolution, any grant of securities under the EIP will not be included in the 15% limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of three years from the date of the Meeting.
If this Resolution is not approved by Shareholders, any securities issued by the Company under the EIP will be included in the formula to calculate the number of securities which the Company may issue in any 12-month period using ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (15% Capacity).
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the EIP 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.
4.2 ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rules 7.1 allows the Company to issue new Equity Securities up to 15% of the Shares on issue in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders ( 15% Capacity ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b) provides an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within 3 years after shareholder approval of the scheme. The Company therefore seeks approval of the EIP under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 so that issues of securities under the EIP do not impede Company’s 15% Capacity. The following information is included in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13):
-
(a) A summary of the terms of the EIP is set out below;
-
(b) The number of securities issued under the EIP since the date of the last approval (being 27 January 2022) under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13) is 7,012,500;
-
(c) The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the EIP following the approval of this Meeting is stated above.
Page 11 of 22
4.2.1 Summary of material terms and conditions of the Company’s EIP
A summary of material terms and conditions of the Company's EIP is set out below. For full details of the EIP, please refer to the rules themselves which are accessible in the manner stated above. All capitalised terms under this part 4.2.1 will have the same meaning as defined under the rules of the EIP unless it is otherwise indicated.
-
The EIP sets out the framework for the offer of Shares, Options or Performance Rights by the Company, and is typical for a document of this nature.
-
In making its decision to issue Shares, Options or Performance Rights, the Board may decide the number of securities and the vesting conditions which are to apply in respect of the securities. The Board has broad flexibility to issue Shares, Options or Performance Rights having regard to a range of potential vesting criteria and conditions.
-
In certain circumstances, unvested Options or Performance Rights will immediately lapse and any unvested Shares held by the participant will be transferred back to the Company for nil transfer price and the Company will buy back those unvested shares, if the relevant person is a “bad leaver” as distinct from a “good leaver”.
-
If a participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of their obligations to the Company or its subsidiaries, the Board may determine that any unvested Performance Rights or Options held by the participant immediately lapse and that any unvested Shares held by the participant be forfeited.
-
In certain circumstances, Shares, Performance Rights or Options can vest early, including following a change of control or other events of a similar nature. For the purposes of this rule, a relevant control event occurs in a number of scenarios as outlined within the plan.
-
The total number of Shares that would be issued were each Option, Performance Right and Share under the EIP exercised or vested (as applicable), plus the number of Shares issued in the previous three years under the EIP, must not, subject to certain prescribed exemptions, at any time, exceed 5% of the total number of Company Shares on issue. Shares issued under the EIP will rank equally in all respects with other Shares and the Company must apply for the quotation of such Shares.
-
The Board has discretion to impose restrictions (except to the extent prohibited by law or the ASX Listing Rules) on Shares issued or transferred to a participant on vesting of an Option or a Performance Right, and the Company may implement appropriate procedures to restrict a participant from so dealing in the Shares.
-
In respect of vested Options or Performance Rights, if the Board becomes aware of an event which would have resulted in vesting criteria not being satisfied, such as a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements during the vesting period, any affected vested Options or Rights may be cancelled for no consideration.
-
The Plan allows for a cashless exercise of Options or Rights where the Board may permit the Participant to exercise Options or Rights by way of a cashless exercise.
-
In the event of any reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company on, or prior to, the expiry of the Performance Rights or Options, the rights of the relevant security holder can be changed in the discretion of the Board, including to comply with the applicable ASX Listing Rules in force at the time of the reorganisation.
-
The Board is granted a certain level of discretion under the EIP, including the power to amend the rules under which the EIP is governed and to waive vesting conditions, forfeiture conditions or disposal restrictions.
4.2.2 Corporations Act
Approval is also sought for the purposes of sections 259B and 260C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Page 12 of 22
The Plan provides for the Company to take security over shares issued under the Plan, and to place restrictions on transfer and voting which may also constitute taking security over its own shares. Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company must not take security over shares in itself except as permitted by the Corporations Act. Section 259B(2) provides that the Company may take security over shares in itself under an employee share scheme that has been approved by shareholders at a general meeting.
Under section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act, a company may financially assist a person to acquire its shares if the financial assistance is given under an employee share scheme that is approved by shareholders at a general meeting. The Plan provides that the Company may make loans in respect of shares or other securities issued or to be acquired under the Plan and/or acquire shares or other securities to be held on trust for eligible participants. This may be considered to be the Company providing financial assistance for the acquisition of its own shares or other securities.
4.3 Directors Recommendation
As the Directors of the Company are excluded from voting pursuant to the Listing Rules, they make no recommendation to the shareholders in respect of the EIP.
The Chair in his capacity as proxy holder intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of approving this Resolution.
4.4 Voting Exclusions
See Note 6 for voting exclusions on this resolution.
Resolution 5 Approval of Proportional Takeover Provision Renewal
5.1 Background
The Company’s Constitution currently contains provisions dealing with proportional takeover bids for the Company’s Shares. The provisions, which are contained in clause 27 of the Constitution (and Amended Constitution), are designed to assist Shareholders to receive proper value for their Shares if a proportional takeover bid is made for the Company ( Proportional Takeover Provisions or Provisions ).
Under the Corporations Act, these Provisions must be renewed every three years, or they will cease to have effect. The Constitution (and the Provisions in Clause 27) was adopted on 27 January 2022. The current Provisions will automatically cease to have effect by 27 January 2025 unless they are renewed by Shareholders' approval under this Resolution. If renewed again at this year’s AGM, the proposed proportional takeover Provisions will be in exactly the same terms as the existing Provisions and will have effect for a three-year period commencing on the date of the Meeting.
The Corporations Act requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders when they are considering the inclusion of proportional takeover provisions in a constitution.
5.2 Statement under the Corporations Act
In seeking shareholder approval for the renewal of the Provisions, the Corporations Act requires the following information to be provided to shareholders when they are considering the renewal of the Provisions.
5.2.1 What is a proportional takeover bid?
A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the bidder offers to buy only a specified proportion of each shareholder’s shares in the target company.
Page 13 of 22
5.2.2 Effect of provisions proposed to be renewed
If a proportional takeover bid is made, the Directors must ensure that Shareholders vote on a resolution to approve the bid at least 14 days before the last day of the bid period or a later date allowed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The vote is decided on a simple majority.
Each person who, as at the end of the day on which the first offer under the proportional takeover bid was made, held the class of shares in the Company in respect of which offers are made under the proportional takeover bid, is entitled to vote, but the bidder and its associates are not allowed to vote.
If the resolution is not passed, transfers giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under a proportional takeover bid cannot be registered. If the resolution is approved, or is taken to have been approved, the transfers must be registered if they comply with the Corporations Act and the Company’s Constitution.
If the resolution is not voted on before the 14-day deadline specified in the Corporations Act, the bid will be taken to have been approved.
The Proportional Takeover Provisions do not apply to full takeover bids. The renewed provisions will expire after three years, unless again renewed by Shareholders by a special resolution.
5.2.3 Reason for the resolution
A proportional takeover bid means that control of a company may pass without Shareholders having the chance to sell all their shares to the bidder. The bidder may take control of the company without paying an adequate price.
To deal with this possibility, the Corporations Act permits a company to provide in its constitution that if a proportional takeover bid is made, shareholders must vote on whether to accept or reject the proportional takeover bid and that decision will be binding on all the shareholders.
The benefit of the Proportional Takeover Provisions is that they allow the Company’s Shareholders to decide collectively whether the proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle and it may ensure that any partial offer is appropriately priced.
If the offer does proceed, individual Shareholders can then make a separate decision as to whether they wish to accept the bid for their shares.
5.2.4 Awareness of current acquisition proposals
As at the date of this Notice, none of the Directors are aware of any proposal for any person to acquire (or increase the extent of) a substantial interest in the Company from its current level.
5.2.5 Advantages and disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Provisions
There have been no proportional takeover bids for the Company while the Provisional Takeover Provisions have been in operation. Accordingly, there are no actual examples against which to assess the advantages and disadvantages of the Provisions.
Page 14 of 22
5.2.6 Potential advantages and disadvantages of the proposed resolution for both Directors and Shareholders
An advantage to the Directors of renewing the Proportional Takeover Provisions is that the Directors will be able to assess the Shareholders’ views on a proportional takeover bid should one be made. Otherwise, the Directors consider that the proposed renewal of the Proportional Takeover Provisions has no potential advantages or disadvantages for Directors given that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a proportional takeover bid should be approved or rejected.
The potential advantages of the Proportional Takeover Provisions for Shareholders of the Company include:
-
that the provisions give Shareholders an opportunity to consider the terms of a proportional takeover bid to determine whether it is in their best interests that it proceed and, on that basis, enables Shareholders to decide whether or not to accept the offer;
-
the provisions may discourage the making of a proportional takeover bid which may be opportunistic and may prevent control passing without payment of an appropriate control premium;
-
an increase in Shareholders’ bargaining power may assist in ensuring that the proportional takeover bid is adequately priced;
-
the provisions may assist Shareholders to avoid being locked in as a minority; and
-
knowing the view of the majority Shareholders may assist each individual Shareholder assessing the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid and whether to approve or reject that bid.
The potential disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Provisions for Shareholders of the Company include:
-
that the provisions may make proportional takeover bids more difficult to succeed and therefore effectively discourage proportional takeover bids being made;
-
the provisions may reduce the freedom for Shareholders to sell some or all of their shares at a premium to persons seeking control of the Company and any takeover speculation element in the Company’s share price may also be reduced;
-
the chance of a proportional takeover bid being successful may be reduced due to the delay, cost and uncertainty in convening a general meeting; and
-
the provisions may be considered an additional restriction on the ability of individual Shareholders to deal freely with their shares.
The Directors consider that the potential advantages for Shareholders of the renewal of the Proportional Takeover Provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages. In particular, Shareholders as a whole are able to decide whether or not a proportional takeover bid is successful.
5.3 Directors Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 7 Approval of 10% Placement Facility
7.1 Background
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability, if required, to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The effect of this resolution is to allow the Directors to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period (as defined below) without, or in addition to, using the Company’s 15% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
7.2 ASX Listing Rules Information
7.2.1 Listing Rules 7.1 & 7.1A
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 ( 15% Capacity ).
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% ( 10% Placement Facility ) to 25%.
An ‘eligible entity’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is, at the date of this Notice, an eligible entity for these purposes. Note however that if, on the date of the Meeting, the market capitalisation of the Company exceeds $300 million or the Company has been included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, then this Resolution will no longer be effective and will be withdrawn.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without further Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution 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 this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% Placement Facility to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in LR 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
7.2.2 Formula for Calculating the 10% Placement Facility – Listing Rule 7.1A.2
The maximum number of equity securities that may be issued by the Company under the 10% Placement Facility pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.2 is calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Page 17 of 22
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the “relevant period” (which, for the Company, is the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement):
-
plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
i) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
ii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
-
-
plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
-
-
plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
-
plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the relevant period.
-
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.
The ability of an entity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% Capacity 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 stated above.
7.2.3 Type and Number of 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 15 October 2024, has on issue one class of quoted equity securities, being Shares as follows:
| ASX Security Code and Description | Total Number |
|---|---|
| TZL: Ordinary Fully Paid | 256,583,114 |
7.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Page 18 of 22
7.3.1 Placement Period
The period for which the approval of the 10% Placement Facility will be valid (as set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.1) commences on the date of this Annual General Meeting and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting, being 21 November 2025;
-
(b) the time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting; and
-
(c) the time and 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 ).
The Company will only issue and allot the equity securities approved under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period.
7.3.2 Minimum Issue Price and Cash Consideration – Listing Rule 7.1A.3
The equity securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's equity securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or
-
(b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.
7.3.3 Purpose of the Funds Raised
The purposes for which the funds raised by an issue under the 10% Placement Facility may be used by the Company include:
-
(a) consideration for the acquisition(s) of the new assets and investments, including the expenses associated with such acquisition(s); and
-
(b) continued expenditure on the Company’s current business and/or general working capital.
7.3.4 Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
If this resolution 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 dilution table below.
Shareholders may be exposed to economic risk and voting dilution, including the following:
-
(a) 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 this Annual General Meeting; and
-
(b) 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 dilution table shows the hypothetical dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares as at 15 October 2024 ( Current Share Price ) and the current number of Shares for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
The dilution table also shows:
Page 19 of 22
-
(a) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares 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 Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
This dilution table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;
-
(b) No convertible security is exercised and converted into Share before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;
-
(c) 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%.
-
(d) 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.
-
(e) 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.
-
(f) The issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
(g) The Current Share Price is $0.033 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 15 October 2024.

7.3.5 Allocation Policy
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 relevant factors including, but not limited to, the following:
-
(a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
(c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
Page 20 of 22
- (d) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders, subject to compliance with Listing Rule 10.11, and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
7.3.6 Previous Issue under Listing Rule 7.1A.2
Information about equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting is set out as follows:
-
(a) The Company has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12month period preceding the date of this Meeting.
-
(b) The Company had not agreed, before the 12-month period referred to in the preceding paragraph, to issue any Equity Securities under rule 7.1A.2 where such securities remain unissued as at the date of the Meeting.
7.3.7 Effect of Passing this Resolution
If Shareholders pass this resolution, the number of equity securities permitted to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see below); and the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to a combined 25% of the Shares on issue without further Shareholder approval.
If this resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% Placement Facility to issue equity securities provided under LR 7.1A without Shareholder approval and will remain limited by 15% Capacity to issue equity securities.
7.4 Special Resolution
The ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution. This means it requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present or represented, and eligible to vote.
7.5 Directors Recommendation
The Directors of the Company believe that this resolution is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.
