3. Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) – Ratification of prior issue of Shares under November 2023 Placement – Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
3.1 Background
On 6 November 2023, the Company announced that it had received commitments from sophisticated and professional investors ( November Placement Participants ) for a placement to raise up to a total of $1,487,256 (before costs) ( November 2023 Placement ) through the issue of up to a total of 371,814,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.004 per Share ( November Placement Shares ).
The funds raised from the November 2023 Placement have been used to:
-
(a) implement the Company’s new operational strategy and leverage its robust sales network to introduce and incubate new brands and products throughout Asia;
-
(b) explore initiatives that will help the Company take advantage of improving AustraliaChina relations;
-
(c) continue operating the Company’s ecommerce business; and
-
(d) corporate purposes, including general working capital requirements and costs of the issue.
On 10 November 2023, the Company issued 223,088,054 November Placement Shares pursuant to its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 148,725,946 November Placement Shares pursuant to its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Novus Capital Limited (ACN 006 711 995) (AFSL: 238168) ( Novus Capital ) acted as lead manager to the November 2023 Placement and will receive 15,000,000 Options (exercisable at $0.015 and expiring 30 November 2026) subject to Shareholder approval (the subject of Resolution 2).
11
Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of a total of 371,814,000 November Placement Shares issued to the November Placement Participants on 10 November 2023.
3.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.
The issue of the November Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the November Placement Shares.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special Resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to a combined 25%.
The issue of the November Placement Shares does not fit within the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the November Placement Shares and under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the period of the 7.1A mandate .
3.3 ASX Listing Rules 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) seek Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the November Placement Shares under and for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4.
3.4
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1(a) and (b) are passed, the November Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue and under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the period of the 7.1A mandate.
If Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) are not passed, the November Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue and under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the period of the 7.1A mandate.
12
3.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Securities. In addition, the issue of the Placement Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit 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 issue date.

7.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
-
(a) the Placement Securities will be issued to the Strategic Placement Participants, being sophisticated and professional strategic investors who are clients of Novus Capital.

If subsequently the Placement Options issued under this Resolution are exercised (and provided no other Shares are issued or Options exercised), the number of Shares on issue would increase from 2,488,241,002 to 3,048,241,002, which would dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders by an additional 18.4%.
7.6
Board Recommendation
The Directors of the Company believe Resolution 5 is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
8. Resolution 6 – Director Participation in Strategic Placement – Zhao (Tracy) Zhang
8.1 General
Director Zhao (Tracy) Zhang wishes to participate in the Strategic Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Strategic Placement and has committed to subscribe for $500,000 worth of Shares and free-attaching Options ( Director Participation ).
Accordingly, Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 100,000,000 Shares and 100,000,000 free-attaching Options exercisable at $0.01 and expiring 2 years from the date of issue (together, the Related Party Securities ) to Tracy Zhang (and/or her nominee).
8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
- (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
20
- (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 Director Participation will result in the issue of the Related Party Securities, which constitutes giving a financial benefit to Tracy Zhang a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Tracy Zhang) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Director Participation because the Related Party Securities will be issued to Tracy Zhang (and/or her respective nominees) on the same terms as Shares and Options that will be issued to non-related party participants under the Strategic Placement and, as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
8.3 Listing Rule 10.11
ASX 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:
-
(a) (10.11.1) a related party;
-
(b) (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;
-
(c) (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;
-
(d) (10.11.4) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
(e) (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 of the Related Party Securities as a result of the Director Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Securities pursuant to the Director Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
8.4 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.2 above.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Director Participation as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.
8.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Securities to Tracy Zhang (and/or her respective nominees) within one (1) month after
21
the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Securities pursuant to the Director Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the Director Participation will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Securities to Tracy Zhang (and/or her respective nominees) and raise $500,000.

On 26 February 2024, the Company announced that it secured a funding package of $2,000,000 from a key stakeholder, Zoomcoo Holding Pty Ltd ( Lender ) by way of a loan to a majority owned subsidiary, Newera Australia Pty Ltd.
The key terms of the funding package between the Company and the Lender ( Funding Agreement ) are set out below:
-
(a) ( Amount Advanced ): A$2,000,000.

-
(d) ( Interest Year 2 ): Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cash rate plus an additional margin to be negotiated on a best endeavours basis at a later date.

As announced to ASX on 14 August 2024, the Company has reached an agreement with the Lender to convert $1,000,000 of the debt facility into equity on the same term as the Strategic Placement. This move will simplify the Company’s balance sheet and align the Company’s interests with key stakeholders, reinforcing their commitment to the Company’s long-term success. The conversion of debt to equity reduces financial liabilities and enhances the Company’s financial flexibility, enabling the Company to focus on its core growth initiatives.
