The Directors of the Company who are Eligible Shareholders intend to fully participate in the SPP. Further, Directors of the Company will be entitled to participate in the Shortfall under the SPP.
Further information in relation to the SPP, including the terms and conditions, will be outlined in the prospectus, expected to be dispatched to Eligible Shareholders on or around 28 October 2024 (“ Prospectus ”).

The SPP Options under the SPP Option Offer will be issued for nil consideration and will be exercisable at $0.02 on or before three years from the date of issue. Each SPP Option gives the holder the right to subscribe for one (1) Share upon exercise.
The Company will not apply to ASX for a quotation of the SPP Options upon issue.
The issue of SPP Options and any SPP Shares comprising the shortfall to the SPP Share Offer (“ SPP Shortfall ”) are subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting of shareholders, anticipated to be held on 29 November 2024 (“ General Meeting ”).
