Background to Resolutions 1 to 4 – Placement and Lead Manager Mandate
On 3 February 2025, the Company announced a capital raising seeking to raise up to approximately $3.5 million through the issue of 35,000,000 Shares at $0.10 per Share ( Placement ).
The Placement was undertaken using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (25,740,578 Shares), and its Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (9,259,422 Shares).
708 Capital Pty Ltd (AFSL No. 386279) ( Lead Manager ) was engaged to act as lead manager to the Placement pursuant to a mandate ( Lead Manager Mandate ). The Company has agreed to pay the Lead Manager (or its nominee(s)) the following fees:
-
(a) Lead Manager Options: 6,000,000 Options on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1; and
-
(b) Management and Selling Fees: 3% (plus GST) and 3% (plus GST) respectively of the amount raised under the Placement (total of $210,000 excluding GST). Under the Lead Manager Mandate these fees were payable in cash or Shares, at the election of the Company, at a deemed issue price of $0.10 each. The Company elected to pay these fees by the issue of a total of 2,100,00 Shares ( Fee Shares ) and these were issued on 7 February 2025.
The engagement of the Lead Manager is otherwise on customary terms and conditions.
The Placement was completed on 7 February 2025 and Shareholder approval to ratify this issue is the subject of Resolutions 1 (in relation to the Shares issued using the capacity under Listing Rule 7.1) and 2 (in relation to the Shares issued using the capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A).
Ratification of the issue of the Fee Shares to the Lead Manager (or its nominee(s)) is subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 3. The issue of the Options to the Lead Manager (or its nominee(s)) under the Lead Manager Mandate is subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 4.
==> picture [10 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratification of a prior issue –Placement – Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
2.1 General
Details of the Placement are set out in Section 1.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Shares issued under the Placement.
2.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
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 ( Placement Capacity ).
2.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue, during the period for which the approval is valid, a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( Additional Placement Capacity ).
The Company obtained the required Shareholder approval at its previous annual general meeting on 13 November 2024 and has the Additional Placement Capacity until the date of the Meeting (or such earlier date as determined by the ASX Listing Rules).
2.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity can also be ratified under Listing Rule 7.4.
2.5 Effect of the Resolution
The issue of the Shares in the Placement did not fit within any of the exceptions from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and was not subject to prior Shareholder approval. The issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 1 effectively used up a portion of the available Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of their issue. At the time of issue, sufficient placement capacity was available that the issue of the securities the subject of Resolution 1 did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company had not issued or agreed to issue any equity securities using the Additional Placement Capacity until the Placement, and the full amount of the Additional Placement Capacity was available to the Company at the time it agreed to issue the Placement securities. The issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 2 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A but effectively used up part of the Additional Placement Capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1A.
By ratifying the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the Placement Capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval and up to the Additional Placement Capacity for the remainder of time that capacity remains valid (being up to its next annual general meeting or such earlier date as determined by the Listing Rules). The base figure (referred to as variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1) from which the Company’s Placement Capacity and Additional Placement Capacity is calculated, will be a higher number, which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, then the Company’s Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will not be refreshed; the resulting being that the Shares the subject of Resolution 1 will
continue to be included in calculating the Company’s use of the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without prior Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of their issue.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, then the Company’s Additional Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will not be refreshed; the result being that the Shares the subject of Resolution 2 will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s use of the 10% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without prior Shareholder approval using Additional Placement Capacity for the remainder of the period that the approval of the Additional Placement Capacity obtained at the 2024 AGM remains in force.
2.6 Board Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
2.7 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

Resolution 3 – Ratification of a prior issue – Lead Manager Mandate Fee Share
3.1 Background
Details of the Placement are set out in Section 1.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Shares issued in lieu of cash payment of the fees payable to the Lead Manager under an agreement with the Lead Manager in relation to the Placement ( Lead Manager Mandate ). The Shares were issued without shareholder approval using Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 is summarised at Section 2.2.
3.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 is summarised at Section 2.4.
3.4
Effect of the Resolution
The issue of the Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and was not subject to prior Shareholder approval. The issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 3 effectively used up a portion of the available Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of their issue. At the time of issue, sufficient placement capacity was available that the issue of the securities the subject of Resolution 3 did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the Placement Capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. The base figure (referred to as variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1) from which the Company’s Placement Capacity is calculated, will be a higher number, which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, then the Company’s Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will not be refreshed; the resulting being that the Shares the subject of Resolution 3 will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s use of the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without prior Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of their issue

Resolution 6 – Ratification of Agreement to Issue Shares – Vendor
6.1 General
Memorandum of Understanding with SmartClear
On 3 February 2025, the Company announced it had entered into a memorandum of understanding ( MOU ), subject to the parties entering into formal agreements, to establish a joint venture for customs technology with SmartClear Pty Ltd (ACN 166 521 535) and SC Software Pty Ltd (ACN 683 815 590) ( SC Software ) (together SmartClear or the Vendors ).
SmartClear have developed customs technology that provides customs declarations, cargo reporting, and other logistics functions ( Technology ).
The MOU sets out the terms upon which the parties intend to form a joint venture company ( JVCo ), with Yojee holding 51% and SC Software holding 49%, to exclusively license and commercialise the Technology for use within Yojee’s MOSAIC platform, initially targeting the Australian and New Zealand regions.
In accordance with the MOU, SC Software will further develop the Technology whereby JVCo will exclusively license this technology to Yojee for its MOSAIC platform. SC Software will provide ongoing maintenance and development services under an ongoing Consultancy Services Agreement
In consideration for the sale of the Technology to the JVCo and exclusive licence use of the Technology to Yojee:
-
Yojee will issue to SC Software (or its nominee/s):
-
2,500,000 Shares on execution of formal agreements ( Commencement Date );
-
following the issue of the above Shares, 2,500,000 Shares on confirmation of a successful sending of a live customs transaction successful incorporating export declaration (EDN) and cargo reference number (CRN) and receipt of the corresponding response from customs, via the Technology; and
-
2,500,000 Shares on the date six months after the Commencement Date, subject to voluntary escrow for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.
-
• Yojee will pay JVCo a licence fee based on revenue received from customers that utilises any one or more of the Technology modules; and
-
the JVCo will pay corresponding licence fees to SC Software Pty Ltd based on revenue generated from the Technology.
The MOU is subject to the parties entering into formal agreements customary for a transaction of this nature; and the Company completing due diligence on the Technology and obtaining any necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals by 31 March 2025 or as otherwise agreed.
The total number of Shares to be issued (7,500,000) was within the Company’s Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 at the time the MOU was entered into. Resolution 6 seeks shareholder ratification of the agreement to issue the first two tranches (5,000,000 Shares out of a total of 7,500,000 Shares) to the Vendors pursuant to the agreement embodied in the MOU. The third tranche (to be issued six months after the Commencement Date, which will be more than three months after the date of the Meeting) will be issued using Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2.
6.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.4
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.4.
6.4 Effect of the Resolution
If Resolution 6 is passed, then the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 5,000,000 Shares to SC Software Pty Ltd (or its nominee(s)) during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using up any part of the Company’s Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will issue the Shares out of Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
There will be a time limit of three months after the date of the Meeting for the ratification of the agreement to issue of Shares under Resolution 6 to be valid for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. As outlined above, the Shares are to be issued in three separate tranches of 2,500,000 Shares each at different milestones under the agreements contemplated by the MOU: the first at the Commencement Date; the second when there has been a successful test using the Technology; and the third six months after the Commencement Date. As only the first, or possibly the first and second, of these milestones can be reached within three months after the date of the Meeting, with the third tranche necessarily falling to be issued later than three months after the date of the Meeting, Resolution 6 seeks ratification of the agreement to issue a total of 5,000,000 Shares. Any Shares (including those in the third tranche) issued later than three months after the Meeting will not be taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1, and their issue will use Placement Capacity at that time.
6.5 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Shares is as part consideration to the Vendors pursuant to the agreements contemplated by the MOU;
-
(g) the Shares are being issued pursuant to the formal agreements contemplated by the MOU summarised at Section 6.1.

Resolutions 7 to 9 – Issue of Performance Rights to Directors
7.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue Performance Rights to directors Shannon Robinson (or her nominee/s), Mark Connell (or his nominee/s), and Davide Bosio (or his nominee/s) ( Related Parties ).
The Board is committed to incentivising and retaining Key Management Personnel and other employees in a manner which promotes alignment of their interests with the interests of the Company and its shareholders. As a result, the Board has resolved, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue 3,000,000 Performance Rights to each of the Related Parties, which is intended to incentivise each for their respective ongoing roles with the Company.
The vesting conditions of the Performance Rights are the satisfaction of both of the following:
-
(a) the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Shares over 20 consecutive trading days on which trades in the Shares are recorded on ASX being at least $0.25 ( VWAP Condition ), and
-
(b) the holder continuing to hold office as a Director for the shorter of (i) 12 months from the date of issue of the Performance Rights and (ii) the period ending on the date of satisfaction of the VWAP Condition.
The full terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 3.
Resolutions 7, 8 and 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of all of these Performance Rights. Resolutions 7,8 and 9 are not inter-conditional.
This Section 7 sets out further information in relation to the proposed issue of Performance Rights to the Related Parties.
7.2 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
-
(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 the Performance Rights to each of the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit. Each of Shannon Robinson, Mark Connell and Davide Bosio is a related party of the Company by reason of being a Director.
Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 is not required if the financial benefit to be provided to the related party is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length, or are less favourable than those terms.
Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 is not required if the financial benefit to be provided to the related party is remuneration as an officer or employee of the company and to give remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the company giving the remuneration and the related party’s circumstances (including responsibilities involved in the office or employment).
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is required in respect of the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties.
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company must not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a ‘material personal interest’ are being considered. The Directors do not have a material personal interest in these Resolutions, other than the Resolution to issue Performance Rights to himself or herself However, in the interests of good corporate practice consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 76 (Table 2) for directors to avoid making a recommendation for resolutions about each other’s remuneration as there may be a conflict of interest, the Directors have not considered whether an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these Resolutions, and as it is proposed that Performance Rights be issued to all Directors, they are unable to form a quorum at Board level to make a determination on whether an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these Resolutions. Therefore, the Board has determined in accordance with section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights.
7.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, an entity must not issue, or agree to issue, equity securities to:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the entity;
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holding in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them the right or expectation to do so;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), or (c) above; or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in any of paragraphs (a) to (d) above is such that, in ASX’s opinion the issue or agreement should be approved by securityholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its ordinary security holders.
As the issue of the Performance Rights constitutes the issue of equity securities to directors of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
The Company therefore seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 7 to 9 inclusive, under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11. There is a separate Resolution in respect of the issue of Performance Rights to each individual Related Party.
7.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2.
As per ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14), approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 7 to 9 if approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Performance Rights to each of the Related Parties, if approved, will not be included in the use of the Company’s Placement Capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
7.5 Effect of the Resolution
The effect of Resolutions 7 to 9 will be to allow the Company to issue the Performance Rights to the Related Party the subject of each Resolution that is passed.
If any or all of Resolutions 7 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to any proposed recipient of the Performance Rights in respect of whom the relevant Resolution has not been passed. In that case, the Company may have to consider alternatives in respect of the relevant Director’s remuneration, which may include increasing his cash remuneration.
Resolutions 7 to 9 inclusive are ordinary resolutions. The Resolutions are not interconditional.
7.6 Board Recommendation
Given the material personal interest of each Director in the Resolution expressly relevant to them, and in the interests of good corporate practice consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 76 (Table 2) for directors to avoid making a recommendation on resolutions about each
other’s remuneration (as there may be a conflict of interest), the Directors do not consider it appropriate to give a recommendation on any of Resolutions 7 to 9.
7.7 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 7 to 9:

Notes:
1. Performance Rights are divided into the following classes :
-
5,643,700 vesting upon the Group achieving 140,000 billable customer transactions within any billing month
-
5,643,700 vesting upon the Group achieving positive EBITDA of at least $1,00 within any billing month, or, the volume weighted average share price over a period of 20 consecutive ASX trading days on which trades in Shares are recorded on ASX being at least $0.15
-
500,000 vesting on 1 July 2025 subject to Mr Connell remaining an eligible participant at the time of vesting
-
500,000 vesting on 1 January 2026 subject to Mr Connell remaining an eligible participate under the plan at the time of vesting
(f) the current total annual remuneration package from the Company to the Directors for the financial year ending 30 June 2025 is set out in Section 7.7(h);
- (g) if the Performance Rights are granted, vest, and are exercised, a total of 9,000,000 Shares would be issued. This would increase the number of Shares on issue from
312,753,852 to 321,753,852 (assuming that no Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued compared to the quantity on issue at the Disclosure Date) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 2.79%, comprising approximately 0.93% by Shannon Robinson, 0.93% by Mark Connell and 0.93% by Davide Bosio.
(h) the highest and lowest prices of the Shares on ASX during the 12 months preceding the Disclosure Date and the closing price on the Disclosure Date, are set out below:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.15 | 16-18 December 2024 |
| Lowest | $0.04 | 30 May 2024 and 24 June 2024 |
| Last | $0.14 | 3 March 2025 |
(i) the Board acknowledges the grant of the Performance Rights to each of Shannon Robinson and Davide Bosio, who are non-executive Directors, is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of the Performance Rights is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in paragraph (k);
(j) the primary purpose of the grant of the Performance Right is to provide an incentive component in their remuneration package to motivate and reward their performance in their respective roles as Directors;
(k) the Directors consider the grant of the Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as:
-
(i) 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;
-
(ii) the grant of the Performance Rights will align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders; and
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Performance Rights upon the terms proposed.
In forming their reasoning and determining the quantity of Performance Rights to be granted each Director considered the experience and role of the Directors, the cash remuneration of the Directors, the price of Shares and the current market practices when determining the number of Performance Rights to be granted (relative to the prevailing trading price of Shares) and expiry date of those Performance Rights; and
(l) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 7 to 9.
10. Resolution 10 – Enable the issue of Equity Incentives under an Employee Incentive Scheme – Equity Incentive Plan
10.1 General
Following amendments to the Corporations Act effective 1 October 2022, the Company decided to implement a new employee incentive scheme titled ‘Equity Incentive Plan’ ( Plan ) which has been updated for consistency with the amendments to the Corporations Act and provides for the issue of Performance Rights and Options. The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the continued operation of the Plan and future issues of Equity Incentives under the Plan will provide selected directors, employees and consultants with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
Shareholder approval to enable the issue of Equity Securities under the Plan as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity was last obtained at the Annual General Meeting held on 13 November 2024.
The Company has decided to make a minor amendment to the terms of the Plan to clarify that the vesting of Performance Rights on a change of control is an automatic event and does not require the exercise of a discretion by the Board. The Company considers that this is a minor clarifying amendment that does not change the meaning of the relevant provisions of the Plan. However, as the terms of the Plan will have changed from the terms as disclosed in the 2024 Notice of AGM, in the interests of good corporate governance the Company is seeking Shareholder approval again to enable the issue of Equity Incentives under the Plan in reliance on ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13.
10.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2 Exception 13
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 ( Placement Capacity ).
Certain issues of equity securities are exempt from the restrictions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and are effectively disregarded for the purposes of determining the number of equity securities that a listed company has issued within a 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 creates an exception from Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of equity securities pursuant to an employee incentive scheme for a period of 3 years after either:
-
(a) the listing of the company, provided that the terms of the employee incentive scheme and the maximum number that may be issued under the scheme were set out in the company’s listing prospectus; or
-
(b) shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme being an exception from ASX Listing Rule 7.1, provided that the notice of meeting included a summary of the terms of the employee incentive scheme and certain required disclosures about the number of securities previously issued under the scheme and the maximum number that may be issued under the scheme.
The exemption is only available for the issue of equity securities under the employee incentive scheme up to the maximum number stated in the prospectus or notice of meeting, as applicable. The exemption also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the employee incentive scheme after shareholder approval has been obtained.
10.3 Effect of the Resolution
Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Equity Incentives under the Plan to be an exception from Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 3 years.
If Shareholders approve this Resolution, any issue of Equity Incentives under the Plan over the 3 years after the date of the Meeting (up to the maximum number calculated as set out in Section 10.5(c)) will not use up a portion of the Company’s Placement Capacity when that issue is made. This means that the Company will preserve its flexibility to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval if and when it grants Equity Incentives under the Plan.
It should be noted that if the Resolution is passed, the Company will only be able issue equity securities under the Plan to eligible participants who are unrelated parties without seeking prior Shareholder approval. Any proposed issue of Equity Incentives to a Director, or any of their associates, under the Plan will require prior Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
If Shareholders do not approve this Resolution, the Company may still decide in future to grant Equity Incentives to eligible employees and consultants who are unrelated parties of the Company under the Plan, but other than the capacity remaining under the Shareholder approval obtained on 13 November 2024 (a maximum of 27,508,514 Equity Securities was approved, of which 9,029,920 have been issued), which remains valid until 13 November 2027, each such issue will not be exempt from Listing Rule 7.1 and will use up a portion of the Company’s Placement Capacity at the relevant time made (unless another exemption from Listing Rule 7.1 is applicable). The issue of Equity Incentives under the Plan in those circumstances would therefore reduce the Company’s ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval.
10.4 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.
10.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 10:
-
(a) a summary of the Plan is set out at Schedule 4;
-
(b) the Equity Incentives have been issued under the Plan since the date of the last approval;
-
(i) 9,029,920 Performance Rights issued on 7 February 2025 in reliance on ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13; and
-
(c) the maximum number of Equity Incentives to be issued under the Plan (other than issues approved by Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1) following approval under this Resolution at any given time, unless otherwise approved by Shareholders, will be 31,275,385 (being approximately 10% of the number of the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares on issue at the Disclosure Date – 312,753,852 Shares).

-
(c) Limit on Offers : The Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an Offer to which the limit on Offers as set out in section 1100V of the Corporations Act applies, that the number of Shares to be received on exercise of Equity Incentives offered under such an Offer, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made as covered by section 1100V(1)(b) of the Corporations Act at any time during the 3 year period ending on the day the Offer is made, will not exceed, if the Constitution specifies an issue cap percentage, that percentage, otherwise, the greater of:
-
(i) 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the start of the day the Offer is made; or
-
(ii) such other percentage prescribed by the Corporations Regulations for the purposes of section 1100V(2)(b)(iii).
-
(d) Issue price : Unless the Equity Incentives are Options quoted on the ASX, Equity Incentives issued under the Plan will be issued for nil cash consideration.
-
(e) Vesting Conditions : An Equity Incentive may be made subject to vesting conditions as determined by the Board in its discretion and as specified in the offer for the Equity Incentive.
-
(f) Vesting – Discretionary Waiver of conditions The Board may in its absolute discretion by written notice to a Participant (being an Eligible Participant to whom Equity Incentives have been granted under the Plan or their nominee where the Equity Incentives have been granted to the nominee of the Eligible Participant), resolve to waive any of the Vesting Conditions applying to Equity Incentives due to:
-
(i) Special Circumstances arising in relation to a Relevant Person in respect of those Equity Incentives; or
-
(ii) the Company passing a resolution for voluntary winding up, or an order is made for the compulsory winding up of the Company.

-
(iii) in respect of unvested Equity Incentives only, a Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant, unless the Board exercises its discretion to vest the Equity Incentive in the circumstances set out in paragraph (f) or the Board resolves, in its absolute discretion, to allow the unvested Equity Incentives to remain unvested after the Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant;

-
(j) Cashless exercise : Subject to the terms of the Offer, a Participant may elect to exercise vested Options by way of a ‘cashless exercise’. Where a Participant makes such an election, rather than the Participant being required to pay the Option Exercise Price for each Option to be exercised, the Company will issue the Participant with a smaller number of Shares on the exercise of the Options representing the difference between the value of the Shares to be issued and the Option Exercise Price as determined by the following formula (rounded down to a whole number of Shares):

Where Closing Share Price means the closing Share price on the date of receipt by the Company of the exercise notice for the Options.
- (k) Shares : Shares resulting from the exercise of the Equity Incentives shall, subject to any Sale Restrictions (refer paragraph (m)) from the date of issue, rank on equal terms with all other

-
(l) Quotation of Shares : If Shares of the same class as those issued upon exercise of Equity Incentives issued under the Plan are quoted on the ASX, the Company will, subject to the ASX Listing Rules, apply to the ASX for those Shares to be quoted on ASX within 10 business days of the later of the date the Shares are issued and the date any restriction period applying to the disposal of Shares ends.
-
(m) Sale Restrictions : The Board may, in its discretion, determine at any time up until exercise of Equity Incentives, that a restriction period will apply to some or all of the Shares issued to an Eligible Participant (or their eligible nominee) on exercise of those Equity Incentives up to a maximum of fifteen (15) years from the grant date of the Equity Incentives. In addition, the Board may, in its sole discretion, having regard to the circumstances at the time, waive any such restriction period determined.
-
(n) No Participation Rights : There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Equity Incentives and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Equity Incentives.
-
(o) Change in exercise price of number of underlying securities : Unless specified in the offer of the Equity Incentives and subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules, an Equity Incentive does not confer the right to a change in exercise price (if any) or in the number of underlying Shares over which the Equity Incentive can be exercised.
-
(p) Reorganisation : If, at any time, the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder of an Equity Incentive are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation.
-
(q) Amendments : Subject to express restrictions set out in the Plan and complying with the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and any other applicable law, the Board may at any time by resolution amend or add to all or any of the provisions of the Plan, or the terms or conditions of any Equity Incentive granted under the Plan including giving any amendment retrospective effect.
-
(r) Trust : The Board may, at any time, establish a trust for the sole purpose of acquiring and holding Shares in respect of which a Participant may exercise, or has exercised, vested Equity Incentives, including for the purpose of enforcing the disposal restrictions and appoint a trustee to act as trustee of the trust. The trustee will hold the Shares as trustee for and on behalf of a Participant as beneficial owner upon the terms of the trust. The Board may at any time amend all or any of the provisions of the Plan to effect the establishment of such a trust and the appointment of such a trustee.
