4 Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratify the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
4.1 General
Refer to Section 3.1 for details on the Placement.
The Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be issued on or around 1 September 2025 without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification and approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) for the issue of 29,250,000 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares (issued under the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1).
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification and approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) for the issue of 17,294,747 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares (issued under the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A).
Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 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% Placement Capacity ).
In addition to its 15% Placement Capacity, the Company has obtained Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2024 annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the Company's 2024 annual general meeting, without needing prior shareholder approval ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A) those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future up to the 15% Placement Capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% Placement Capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A without having to obtain prior Shareholder approval under those rules.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of 29,250,000 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of 29,250,000 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of 17,294,747 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue under the Company's 10% Placement Capacity over the 12 month period following the date of issue. If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of 17,294,747 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 10% Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue under the Company's 10% Placement Capacity over the 12 month period following the date of issue.

Resolutions 6 and 7 seek Shareholder approval to issue an aggregate of 1,555,593 Tranche 2 Placement Shares and 777,796 Placement Options to Messrs Mark Bolton and Matt Szwedzicki (and/or their respective nominee(s)). The Placement Options are proposed to be issued pursuant to subscriptions under a prospectus to be issued by the Company. In accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of the Director Securities to a related party. Messrs Bolton and Szwedzicki are each Directors and are therefore related parties of the Company.

Messrs Mark Bolton and Matt Szwedzicki, as Directors, are related parties of the Company.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required as the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies. The Director Securities to be issued to Messrs Mark Bolton and Matt Szwedzicki (and/or their respective nominee(s)) will be issued on the same terms as the Placement Shares and Placement Options to be issued to other participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit to Messrs Mark Bolton and Matt Szwedzicki (and/or their respective nominee(s)) will be on arm's length terms.
8.3
Listing Rule 10.11

-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

P a g e | 19
-
(e) the issue price of the Performance Securities will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Performance Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Director Options);
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Director Options is to:
-
(i) provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Mr Szwedzicki to motivate and reward his performance as Managing Director (performance linked in the sense that the holder will only be able to realise value for the Director Options once the prevailing price for Shares on market exceeds the exercise price); and
-
(ii) to increase his remuneration package as Managing Director, which is currently at the lower end of what the Company considers to be the reasonable range of remuneration packages paid to executives in similar roles with peer companies,
- in a cost-effective manner, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Szwedzicki;
-
(g) the purpose of the issue of the Performance Rights is to provide a tenure based incentive component in the remuneration package for Mr Szwedzicki to retain and incentivise him to continue in his position as Managing Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to Mr Szwedzicki, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Szwedzicki;

(h) the Company considers it necessary and appropriate to further remunerate and incentivise Mr Szwedzicki to achieve the purposes outlined in paragraphs (f) and (g) above and for the following reasons:
-
(i) the Company considers that there is an increased demand for experienced and competent Managing Directors for listed companies due to general shortages in the labour market;
-
(ii) the issue of the Performance Securities to Mr Szwedzicki (and/or his nominee(s)) will further incentivise him to continue in his position as Managing Director and therefore further align the interests of Mr Szwedzicki with those of Shareholders;
-
(iii) the issue of the Performance Securities is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Szwedzicki; and
-
(iv) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Performance Securities on the terms proposed;
-
(i) in relation to ASX guidance on the grant of performance based securities, the Board considers the number and terms of the Performance Rights to be appropriate and equitable for the following reasons:
-
(i) the Performance Rights are consistent with ASX’s policy regarding the base requirements for performance securities, which are detailed in section 9 of ASX Guidance Note 19;
-
(ii) the number of Shares into which the Performance Rights will convert if the milestones are achieved is fixed (one for one) which allows investors and analysts to readily understand and have reasonable certainty as to the impact on the Company’s capital structure if the milestones are achieved;
-
(iii) the Board (other than Mr Szwedzicki who did not participate in the Board deliberations in relation to the grant of the Performance Securities) considers that the tenure based milestones are equitable and appropriate in the circumstances as retaining Key Management Personnel in the current competitive labour market is
P a g e | 20
imperative for the growth of the Company and therefore there is appropriate link to the benefit of Shareholders and the Company at large through the retention of Mr Szwedzicki;
-
(iv) the purposes for which the Performance Rights are being issued and the conversion milestones are clearly articulated by reference to objective criteria; and
-
(v) the Performance Rights have an expiry date by which the milestones are to be achieved and, if the milestones are not achieved by that date, the Performance Rights will lapse;
-
(j) details of Mr Szwedzicki's remuneration package is as follows:
| Director | Cash salary and fees | Superannuation | Options | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ($) | ($) | ($) | ($) | |
| Matt Szwedzicki | 250,000 | 30,000 | - | 280,000 |
-
(k) the Performance Securities will be issued under an offer letter, the material terms of which are summarised in this Section 9.1; and
