EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.vection-technologies.com/.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report to be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

/1464_7

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR LORENZO BIAGI

3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 6.3 of the Constitution provide that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled to be exempt from this rotation requirement.

Mr Lorenzo Biagi, having held office without re-election since 17 April 2019 and being eligible, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Further information in relation to Mr Biagi is set out below.

Qualifications,
experience and
other material
directorships
Mr Biagi is an experienced company manager in the private
sector, with extensive knowledge in virtual reality technology,
sales, and cost control management.
While managing corporate development processes for more
than 10 years, Mr Biagi has implemented new procedures and
technologies helping make the companies he worked for and
with, leaders in innovation.
Term of office Mr Biagi has served as a Director since 17 April 2019 and was last
re-elected on 6 December 2021.
Independence If re-elected, the Board does not consider that Mr Biagi will be an
independent Director.
Board
recommendation
Having received an acknowledgement from Mr Biagi that he will
have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director and
having reviewed the performance of Mr Biagi since his
appointment to the Board and the skills, knowledge, experience
and capabilities required by the Board, the Directors (other than
Mr Biagi) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this
Resolution.

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, Mr Biagi will be re-elected to the Board as an Executive Director.

If this Resolution is not passed, Mr Biagi will not continue in his role as Executive Director. The Company may seek nominations or otherwise identify suitably qualified candidates to join the Company. As an additional consequence, this may detract from the Board and Company’s ability to execute on its strategic vision.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

4.1 General

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

5

/1464_7

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $25,205,190 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 28 October 2024).

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

For this Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be cast in favour of the Resolution.

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% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

REQUIRED
INFORMATION
DETAILS
Period for which
the 7.1A Mandate
is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and
expire on the first to occur of the following:
(a)
the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
(b)
the time and date of the Company’s next annual
general meeting; and
(c)
the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any
transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant
change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule
11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
Minimum price Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an
existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash
consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted
average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the
15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded
immediately before:
(a)
the date on which the price at which the Equity
Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the
recipient of the Equity Securities; or
(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.
Use of funds The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity
Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for [an acquisition of new
assets or investments (including expenses associated with such
acquisition), continued research and development and general
working capital.
Risk of economic
and voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute
the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under
the issue.
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company
issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under
the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing
Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders
calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule
7.1A.2,on the basis of the closingmarketprice of Shares and the

number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 28 October 2024.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 1,483,602,969 Shares on issue comprising:

  2. (a) 1,326,588,969 existing Shares as at the date of this Notice;

  3. (b) 142,740,000 Shares which are to be issued to the vendors of The Digital Box S.p.A (a company incorporated under the laws of Italy) ( TDB ) pursuant to the preliminary sale and purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of TDB and its interest in three (3) subsidiaries ( Acquisition ) (as set out in the Company’s notice of general meeting released on 23 September 2024 ( September Notice ); and

  4. (c) 14,274,000 Shares which are to be issued pursuant to the terms of an agreement entered into with Exchange Capital Advisory Pty Ltd (ACN 636 698 550) on or about 19 January with respect to the provision of introductory and advisory services performed with respect to the Acquisition (as set out in the September Notice).

  5. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 28 October 2024 (being $0.019) ( Issue Price ). The Issue Price at a 50% increase and 50% decrease are each rounded to three decimal places prior to the calculation of the funds raised.

  6. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  7. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  8. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  9. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

7

/1464_7

REQUIRED
INFORMATION
DETAILS
7.
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing
Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
8.
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%.
9.
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to
a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A
Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the
Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
(a)
the market price for the Company’s Shares may be
significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of
the Meeting; and
(b)
the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount
to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
Allocation policy
under 7.1A
Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A
Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients
of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new
investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the
Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue
under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:
(a)
the purpose of the issue;
(b)
alternative methods for raising funds available to the
Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an
entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or
other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
(c)
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the
control of the Company;
(d)
the circumstances of the Company, including, but not
limited to, the financial position and solvency of the
Company;
(e)
prevailing market conditions; and
(f)
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if
applicable).
Previous approval
under Listing Rule
7.1A.2
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders
pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on
28 November 2023 (Previous Approval).
During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting,
being on and from 28 November 2023, the Company issued
112,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval (Previous

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO MR JACOPO MERLI

5.1 General

In recognition of the achievement of performance targets throughout the year, the Board has decided to award a cash bonus of €133,317 to Mr Merli, with the option to accept the bonus through the issue of Shares.

Mr Merli has opted to accept the bonus through the issue of 23,891,876 Shares, calculated using an exchange rate of $0.62AUD:EUR and a five (5) day VWAP of Shares to 18 October 2024 of $0.009.

9

/1464_7

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 23,891,876 Shares to Mr Jacopo Merli (or his nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions set out below.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Merli is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Merli 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 issue because the agreement to issue the Shares, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Merli, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

5.3

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue 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.

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue 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 (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and will be required to pay the bonus of €133,317 to Mr Merli in cash.
