EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Zeotech Limited (“the Company”) in connection with the business to be conducted at the annual general meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, 23 November 2023 at 9.30am (WST).

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

In accordance with the Constitution and the Corporations Act, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Director’s Report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Financial Report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy.

Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Financial Report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company Annual Financial Report on its website at www.zeotech.com.au.

No resolution is required for this item, but Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask questions and to make comments on the management and performance of the Company.

Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

3.2 Voting consequences

If at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put

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 Annual General Meeting.

4. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – Resolution 2

4.1 General

Resolution 2 relates to the re-election of Mr Robert Downey as a Director.

In accordance with the requirements of clause 6.3 of the Company’s Constitution and the Corporations Act, one-third of the directors of the Company retire from office at this annual general meeting of the Company.

5.1 General

On 30 June 2023, the Company issued 65,217,395 Shares to sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.046 per Share to raise $3,000,000, as announced on 26 June 2023. For every two (2) Shares issued the subscriber also received one (1) free attaching unlisted option with an exercise price of $0.10 each and expiring on 30 June 2025 (together the Placement Securities ).

Zeotech Limited

Page 10

The Company issued the Placement Securities utilising the 15% annual limit set out in Listing Rule 7.1 (described below). By issuing those Placement Securities utilising these rules, the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval within those limits was accordingly reduced.

Resolutions 3(a) and 3(b) seek Shareholder approval for the prior issue of the Placement Securities to the placees noted below. They are proposed as ordinary resolutions and will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote are in favour of each of the Resolutions.

5.2 Listing Rule 7.1

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 12 month period.

The issue of the Placement Securities 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 placement capacity available under 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 issue of the Placement Securities.

5.3 Listing Rule 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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 3(a) and (b) seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Securities.

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3(a) and (b) are passed, the Placement Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

If Resolution 3(a) and (b) are not passed (or one of Resolutions 3(a) and (b) is passed and the other is not), that amount of Placement Securities will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) 65,217,395 Shares were issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 (15%) capacity (Resolution 3(a));

  • (b) 32,608,698 Options were issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 (15%) capacity (Resolution 3(b));

  • (c) The Shares (Resolution 3(a)) were issued at $0.046 per Share, together with one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for and issued (Resolution 3(b));

  • (d) The Shares and Options were issued on 30 June 2023;

Zeotech Limited

Page 11

  • (e) The Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. The Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in annexure A;

  • (f) The Shares and Options were issued to non-related party investors identified by the Company, who were "Sophisticated Investors" within the meaning of section 708(8) of the Corporations Act or other investors to whom the Company may issue securities without a disclosure document pursuant to section 708 of the Corporations Act. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (g) In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (h) Funds raised from the capital raising will primarily be applied to:

  • Advancing methane emissions control, nutrient management and soil carbon research & development;

  • Progressing zeolite demonstration plant design and development

  • Zeolite and metakaolin sample production and working capital;..

  • (i) The Shares were not issued under an agreement; and

  • (j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.6 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3(a) and 3(b).

6. RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF BROKER OPTIONS – Resolution 4

6.1 General

On 30 June 2023, the Company issued 65,217,395 Shares to sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.046 per Share to raise $3,000,000, as announced on 26 June 2023. For every two (2) Shares issued the subscriber also received one (1) free attaching unlisted option with an exercise price of $0.10 each and expiring on 30 June 2025 ( Placement ).

The Placement was managed by Evolution Capital Pty Ltd, pursuant to a mandate entered into between the Company and Evolution Capital Pty Ltd ( the Mandate ).

In consideration for lead manager services provided in relation to the Placement, the Company agreed to:

  • (a) pay Evolution Capital Pty Ltd a fee of 6% on all funds introduced; and

  • (b) issue 10,000,000 Options (on the same terms and conditions as the Placement Options) ( Broker Options ) to Evolution Capital Pty Ltd.

The Company issued 10,000,000 Broker Options to Evolution Capital Pty Ltd on 30 June 2023.

Zeotech Limited

Page 12

The Company issued the Options utilising the 15% annual limit set out in Listing Rule 7.1 (described below). By issuing those Options utilising these rules, the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval within those limits was accordingly reduced.

Resolutions 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue of the Options to Evolution Capital Pty Ltd. The resolution is an ordinary resolution and will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote are in favour of the Resolution.

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1

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 12 month period.

The issue of the Options 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 placement capacity available under 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 issue of the Options.

6.3 Listing Rule 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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Broker Options.

6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Broker Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Broker Options.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Broker Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Broker Options.

6.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

  • (e) the Broker Options were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for services provided by the Evolution Capital Pty Ltd in respect of the Placement.

7. APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY – Resolution 5

7.1 Background

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for an additional issuing capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ( Additional Placement Facility ).

If approved, Resolution 5 would enable the Company to issue additional Equity Securities (calculated below) over a 12-month period without obtaining 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 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.

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% to 25%.

An “eligible entity” 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 an eligible entity for these purposes.

Resolution 5 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 Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 5 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 Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in 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.

7.2 Information on Additional Placement Facility

(e) Quoted securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has one class of Equity Securities quoted on ASX, being its Shares (ASX Code: ZEO).

Zeotech Limited

Page 14

(f) Formula for Additional Placement Facility

If this Resolution 5 is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula.

Additional Placement Capacity = (A x D) – E

where:

  • A = the number of fully-paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16, or 17;

  • plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of partly-paid ordinary securities that became fully-paid in the relevant period;

  • less the number of fully-paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period;

  • D = 10%; and

  • E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

7.3 ASX Listing Rule requirements

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed approval of the Additional Placement Facility:

(g) Period for which the approval will be valid

The Additional Placement Facility would commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • the date that is 12 months after this Meeting;

  • the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or

Zeotech Limited

Page 15

  • the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(h)

Minimum price at which equity securities may be issued

Any Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Facility must be in an existing quoted class of the Company’s securities and issued for cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the above date, the date on which the securities are issued.

(i) Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities may be used

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration only, and the Company intends to apply funds raised to develop and commercialise the Company’s patent-pending and trade-secret zeolite mineral processing technology that consumes kaolin and/or suitable process by-products to produce advance materials ‘manufactured zeolites’; progress the Company’s research programs associated with new market applications and zeolite centric-applications; continue mining plan approval activities for the Toondoon ML and exploration of the Company’s mineral tenements with the objective of identifying economic mineral deposits and advancing mining operations to the stage of revenue generation; and general working capital (including corporate and administration costs).

(j) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 5 is passed and the Company issues securities under the Additional Placement Facility, there is a risk to existing Shareholders of economic and voting dilution, including the risk that:

  • (i) the market price for Equity Securities in the same class may be significantly lower on the issue date of the new Equity Securities than on the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for Equity Securities in the same class on the issue date.

The table below identifies the potential dilution to existing Shareholders following the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility (based on the formula set out above) using different variables for the number of issued Shares and the market price of Shares.

The numbers are calculated on the basis of the latest available market price of Shares before the date of this Notice and the current number of Shares on issue.

Notes: The above table has been prepared on the following bases/assumptions:

  1. The latest available market price of Shares before the date of this Notice, being $0.05.

  2. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional Placement Facility.

  3. Existing Shareholders’ holdings do not change from the date of this Meeting to the date of the issue under the Additional Placement Facility.

  4. The Company issues Shares only and does not issue other types of Equity Securities (such as Options) under the Additional Placement Facility.

  5. The impact of additional issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or following the exercise of options is not included in the calculations.

  6. Economic dilution for the table above is calculated using the following formula:

ED = (MP – (NMC / TS)) / MP

where:

  • MC = market capitalisation prior to issue of Equity Securities, being the MP multiplied by the number of Shares on issue;

  • MP = the market price of Shares traded on ASX, expressed as in dollars;

  • NMC = notional market capitalisation, being the market capitalisation plus the NSV;

  • NSV = new security value, being the number of new Equity Securities multiplied by the issue price of those Equity Securities; and

  • TS = total Shares on issue following new Equity Security issue.

(k) Allocation policy

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed issue. The allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors such as:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • t he 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;

Zeotech Limited

Page 17

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

==> picture [15 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • advice from corporate and other advisors.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not identified any proposed allottees of Equity Securities using the Additional Placement Facility. However, the eventual allottees may include existing substantial Shareholders, other Shareholders and/or new investors.

None of the allottees will be a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company, except as permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.2. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility.

(l) Previous Approval and Issues under Listing Rule 7.1A in previous 12 months

The Company previously obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 28 November 2022.

The Company did not make any issues pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months prior to the Meeting.

7.4 Voting Exclusion

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.

7.5 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 as it will give the Company the flexibility to raise and fund necessary working capital whilst preserving the Company’s cash reserves.

8. ISSUE OF DIRECTOR INCENTIVE SHARES AND APPROVAL OF LOAN TO RELATED PARTY – MR ROBERT DOWNEY – Resolution 6

8.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to the provision of a non-recourse, interest free loan ( Loan ) to Mr Robert Downey, pursuant to the Zeotech Incentive Share Plan ( ISP ), which was adopted by Shareholders on 27 November 2020, for the purpose of subscribing for 5,000,000 Shares ( Plan Shares ) on the terms and conditions set out below. Mr Downey is a non-executive director of the Company.

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue seeks to align the efforts of the Directors in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that the issue of Plan Shares is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Plan Shares to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

In April 2023, the Board determined to issue the Plan Shares to Mr Downey at its next general meeting of shareholders. The 5-day weighted closing price at the date of determination was $0.052.

The Plan Shares are to be issued under the Company's ISP, the terms of which are summarised in the Company's 2020 notice of annual general meeting, announced on ASX on 27 October 2020.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to a total of 5,000,000 Plan Shares under the ISP to Mr Downey (or his nominee) (the Related Party ), under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 and sections 195(4) and 208 of the Corporations Act.

8.2 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 grant of Plan Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Downey is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the Plan Shares proposed to be issued to Mr Downey.

8.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • (b) an associate of a director the company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • (c) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.14.3),

Zeotech Limited

Page 19

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The proposed issue of the Plan Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (or Listing Rule 10.14.2 if a Related Party elects for the Plan Shares to be granted to their nominee) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 10.11 is not required.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Plan Shares to Mr Downey.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Plan Shares to Mr Downey and the Company may need to consider other forms of performance-based remuneration, including by the payment of cash.

8.4 Specific information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of sections 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Plan Shares to the Related Party:

  • (a) Mr Downey is the recipient of the Plan Shares and is a related party by virtue of being a Director and falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1. In the event the Plan Shares are issued to a nominee of Mr Downey, that person will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2;

  • (b) the maximum amount of the Loan (being the nature of the financial benefit) to be provided to the Related Party (or his nominee) can be calculated by multiplying the number of Shares to be issued (determined in accordance with paragraph (c)) by the issue price (determined in accordance with paragraph (d)). Based on the issue price (ie $0.052), the amount of the Loan will be $260,000;

  • (c) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 5,000,000 Shares to Mr Downey (or his nominee);

  • (d) the issue price of the Shares will be $0.052 per Share;

  • (e) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Plan Shares as there will be no change to the Company’s cash position (ie the Loan made by the Company will be used to subscribe for the Plan Shares to be issued to the Related Party). Amounts repaid to the Company by the Related Party in the future in satisfaction of the Loan will be used by the Company for general working capital purposes;

  • (f) Mr Downey’s current remuneration is $60,000 per annum.

  • (g) The issue of the Plan Shares will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders' holdings. As the Plan Shares will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares the dilutionary effect will be 0.29%.

The dilution effect assumes the current Share capital structure as at the date of this Notice (being 1,705,923,065 Shares and that no Shares are issued other than the Plan Shares to Mr Downey).

  • (h) the Loan will be provided on the following key terms and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of the ISP, a summary of which is set out in Annexure B:

  • (i) (non-recourse): the Loan is secured against the Shares but the Related Party is not personally liable for the Loan. In other words, in the event the Shares are sold to repay the Loan but the sale proceeds are insufficient to cover the amount of the Loan which is outstanding the Company cannot recover the remaining amount from the Related Party. Conversely, where the sale proceeds are greater than the amount of the Loan

Zeotech Limited

Page 20

the Company will not receive any additional repayment as the Related Party is entitled to the surplus proceeds;

  • (ii) (interest free): the Loan will be interest free unless otherwise agreed by the Related Party; and

  • (iii) (term): 5 years from the date of issue of the Shares subject to earlier repayment in accordance with the terms of the ISP (eg ceasing to be an employee of the Company, an event of insolvency);

  • (i) the value of the Loan using the Black & Scholes valuation methodology is $160,000;

  • This value is based on the following assumptions:

  • (i) a valuation date of 10 October 2023;

  • (ii) an issue price of $0.052 per Share and corresponding Loan principal of $260,000;

  • (iii) a current market price of $0.05 per Share. Shareholders should also note that the market price of Shares during the term of the Loan will affect the value of the financial benefit provided to the Related Party;

  • (iv) a risk free interest rate of 3.94% per annum;

  • (v) a Loan term of 5 years. Shareholders should note that the actual term of the Loan may be shorter (eg where a Related Party ceases to be an employee of the Company, an event of insolvency occurs in respect of a Related Party, or, a Related Party elects to repay their Loan early). The actual term of the Loan will affect the value of the financial benefit provided to the Related Party; and

  • (vi) a Share price volatility of 76.3%;

  • (j) The highest and lowest closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice were:

Highest: $0.066 per Share on 2 March 2023 Lowest: $0.03 per Share on 27 October 2022

The latest available closing market sale price of the Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $0.05 per Share on 10 October 2023.

  • (k)

no Shares have previously been issued under the ISP to Mr Downey;

  • (l) At the date of this Notice, Mr Downey holds 1,378,925 Shares and holds no other interests in any Equity Securities of the Company. Assuming that Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders, the issue of the Plan Shares to Mr Downey and no other Equity Securities are issued or exercised, Mr Downey’s interest would approximate 0.29% of the Company’s expanded capital.

  • (m) all Directors are entitled to participate in the ISP and approval is being sought for an offer to be made to Mr Downey;

  • (n) There are no taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the Plan Shares (including fringe benefits tax);

  • (o) The Directors, other than Mr Downey who declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 6 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of those Resolutions, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 for the following reasons:

  • (i) through his legal professional expertise and listed company knowledge, Mr Downey has contributed to the enhancement of the Company’s contractual matters and governance

Zeotech Limited

Page 21

practices, whilst contributing on future strategy, throughout a period of growth and advancement over the last 12 months;

  • (ii) accordingly, the grant of the Plan Shares is a reasonable benefit to recognise the past performance by Mr Downey;

  • (iii) the Company will receive up to $260,000 in equity funds in the future, assuming the disposal of the Plan Shares at a price greater than $0.052, or on early repayment of the non-recourse loan by Mr Downey;

  • (iv) the issue of the Plan Shares will further align the interests of Mr Downey with those of Shareholders to increase shareholder value;

  • (v) the issue of the Plan Shares provides Mr Downey with incentives to focus on superior performance in creating shareholder value;

  • (vi) the issue of the Plan Shares 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 Downey; and

  • (vii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Plan Shares upon the terms proposed;

  • (p) the Shares will be issued to the Related Party no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on one date;

  • (q) the nature of the financial benefit to be given is the issue of Plan Shares on the basis outlined above. The Shares issued to the Related Party will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares other than being subject to a holding lock until such time as the respective Loan has been extinguished or repaid under the terms of the Plan or 12 months from the date of issue of the Shares, whichever is the greater;

  • (r) Details of the Shares issued under the ISP will be published in the Company’s annual report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under listing Rule 10.14;

  • (s) Any additional persons covered by listing rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the ISP after this resolution is approved and who are not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under listing rule 10.14; and

  • (t) 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 Resolution 6.

8.5 Board Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Downey who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 for the reasons set out in Section 8.4(o).

Zeotech Limited

Page 22

9. ADOPTION OF SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN – Resolution 7

9.1 General

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Securities Incentive Plan” ( ESIP ) and for the issue of up to a maximum of 100,000,000 securities, excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, under the ESIP in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

The objective of the ESIP is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the ESIP and the future issue of securities under the ESIP will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

9.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

As summarised in Section 5.2 above, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, 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.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the ESIP to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the ESIP (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 9.3(b) below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

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 ESIP 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.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the ESIP to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1

9.3

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the ESIP is set out in Annexure C;

  • (b) the Company has not issued any securities under the ESIP as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the ESIP;

  • (c) the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the ESIP to allow the Company to have the option to issue securities to those eligible to participate; and

  • (d) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the ESIP in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 100,000,000 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

Assessment Act 1997(Cth)). The Board may delegate its powers and
discretion.
Eligibility, invitation
and application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may

on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. The invitation will include
certain financial information, a valuation of the Securities and a statement
that the Company is solvent.
On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities

Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant

Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
Grant of Securities Subject to the Monetary Cap (described below), the Company will, to the
extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant
the relevant number and type of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions

$30,000;
(b)
70% of any distributions that a Participant receives in that year from
Securities issued under the ESIP;
(c)
70% of performance-dependent cash bonuses the Participant has
received in that year; and
(d)
if there are unexercised Convertible Securities (as defined below)
of the Participant from the previous 5 years, an amount equal to
the price that would have been paid for those unexercised
Convertible Securities.
In calculating whether other payments fall under the Monetary Cap, the
following will be excluded:
(a)
after-tax salary deductions paid under a contribution plan
(however, such amounts are included at the point that they are
used to acquire Securities); and
(b)
amounts that only become payable during or immediately before a
liquidity period for the underlying Shares, where a ‘liquidity period’
includes a period during which the Shares are listed. (This means
that amounts payable to acquire ESIP Shares or to exercise
Convertible Securities will not be counted if the Company is or is
about to be, listed. However, payments made by Participants must
be made no longer than 7 days before a ‘liquidity event’.)
Rights attaching to
Convertible
Securities

Shares in accordance with the ESIP (for example, an Option or a

Security has vested in accordance with the ESIP rules, or such earlier date
as set out in the ESIP rules.

exercise
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a
Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that
Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the
ESIP rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised
Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

to acquire ESIP Shares under the ESIP. The Board will determine in its sole
and absolute discretion the acquisition price (if any) for each ESIP Share

as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board
may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance
by the Participant with this restriction.

ESIP, the Participant will not:
(a)
transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security
interest granted over that ESIP Share; or

take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove
or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written
consent of the Company.

may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at
its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11)
of the Corporations Act.

of Convertible Securities) shall be subject to the terms of the Company’s
Securities Trading Policy (if applicable).

person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of
the Company’s issued capital), unvested Convertible Securities will vest

discretion in determining the treatment of any unvested Convertible
Securities on a change of control event is limited to vesting or varying any
vesting conditions in respect to the Convertible Securities and does not
include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested Convertible Securities for less
than fair value.
Participation in
entitlements and
bonus issues
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants
will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of

issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the Participant
is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of
as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the
holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the
Convertible Securities are exercised.
Reorganisation If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company
(including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of
such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding
Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with
the applicable law at the time of the reorganisation.

in accordance with the terms of the ESIP.

trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Convertible Securities
for holders under the ESIP and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon
exercise of Convertible Securities.

Securities
The Company will not make an invitation under the ESIP which involves
monetary consideration if the number of ESIP Shares that may be issued, or
acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation,
when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as
a result of all invitations under the ESIP during the 3 year period ending on
the day of the invitation, will exceed 20% of the total number of issued Shares
at the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a different
percentage).
Amendment of ESIP Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any
provisions of the ESIP rules, including (without limitation) the terms and
conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the ESIP and
determine that any amendments to the ESIP rules be given retrospective
effect, immediate effect or future effect.

Zeotech Limited

No amendment to any provision of the ESIP rules may be made if the
amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed
before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced
primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest
error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all
Participants.
ESIP duration The ESIP continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board
may from time to time suspend the operation of the ESIP for a fixed period or
indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the ESIP is terminated or
suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice
the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that
some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on
a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those
Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company
and the Participant.
