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 shares 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 15%. The Company obtained such approval at the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2021.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fall within any of exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A and part of the 15% limit in 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 from the issue date of the Placement Shares.
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 (or Listing Rule 7.1A as applicable) 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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Purpose and effect of Resolution 1
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of 6,404,666 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of 6,404,666 Tranche 1 Placement Shares 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.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of 6,404,666 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
Purpose and effect of Resolution 2
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of 6,532,834 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of 6,532,834 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval before 30 November 2022 (being the date 12-months after the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting at which the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A was approved).
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of 6,532,834 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s remaining capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval before 30 November 2022.

ZIMI LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
3.3 Directors’ recommendations – Resolutions 1 and 2
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it will refresh the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and give the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital through the offer and issue of equity securities, if and as required.
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 as it will refresh the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A and give the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital through the offer and issue of equity securities, if and as required.
4. Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Placement Options to Tranche 1 Placement Participants who are not Related Parties
4.1
Requirement for Shareholder approval
The Company proposes to issue 12,937,500 Placement Options to investors who are not Related Parties to the Company who were issued Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval by Shareholders for the proposed issue of 12,937,500 Placement Options.
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of 12,937,500 Placement Options does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
To that end, Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Options to persons who are not Related Parties. In addition, the issue 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.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Options. In this scenario, Placement Participants may be less inclined to support the Company in relation to any future capital raising.
4.2
Listing Rule information requirements
In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
- (a) Names of persons being issues securities or basis on which they were identified
The Placement Options are proposed to be issued to Placement Participants, being various professional and sophisticated investors identified by the Lead Manager and the Company. Refer to Section 3.2(a) for further details.
If Perennial were to exercise its allocation of Placement Options the subject of Resolution 3 (resulting in the issue of 3,750,000 shares), Perennial’s shareholding interest would increase from 15.94% (as detailed in Section 3.2(a)) to 19.78% (assuming no other options are exercised by any other holder).

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a director who has a “material personal interest” in a matter being considered at a directors’ meeting must not be present while the matter is being considered or vote on the matter.
Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that where there are insufficient directors to form a quorum at a directors’ meeting because of section 195(1), the directors may call a general meeting of shareholders to consider the matter.
The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider any matters relating to the issue of Director Fee Shares under Resolutions 4 to 7, as Messrs Beissel, Tentori (and Redorblack Pty Ltd) and Gerard (and to Madurta Pty Ltd and Gerard Private), representing three out of total four Directors of the Company, each has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution relevant to them. Therefore, the Board is unable to form a quorum to consider the proposed issue and the Company is seeking approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to deal with the matter.
The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider any matters relating to the issue of Director Fee Shares under Resolutions 8 to 10, as Messrs Beissel, Rossdeutscher and Gerard, representing three out of total four Directors of the Company, each has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution relevant to them. Therefore, the Board is unable to form a quorum to consider the proposed issue and the Company is seeking approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to deal with the matter.
5.3
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides 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:

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
15
ZIMI LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As it is proposed that 3 of the 4 Directors (or their nominees) participate in the issue of Director Fee Shares, there is not a sufficient quorum of Directors (i.e. at least 2 disinterested Directors) to consider whether the provision of the financial benefit constituted by the issue of Placement Securities to them is “reasonable” and are therefore unable to determine whether the exception set out in section 210 (reasonable arms’ length terms exception) applies.

5.5 Personnel, warehousing, quality assurance and logistics services provided by Gerard Private
Personnel, warehousing, quality assurance and logistic services are provided to the Company under three arrangements between the Company and Gerard Private.
Under a secondment agreement between the Company and Gerard Private, Gerard Private has been providing a project manager and mechanical engineer ( Personnel ) since January 2021. The terms of the secondment agreement provide for a cash fee payable by the Company on a monthly basis for each member of personnel seconded. The cost of the Personnel payable by the Company to Gerard Private is approximately $16,000 per month ( Personnel Costs ), which has been calculated based on estimated time commitment for the provision of services by two personnel.
The Personnel have been engaged in project managing relationships with the outsourced manufacturers used to develop new devices and manufacture existing devices for sale, preparing designs for the new range of devices, working with component suppliers, overseeing logistics to customers, supervising compliance and other testing. It is anticipated the Company will continue to utilise the Personnel until 30 June 2023. At this point, demand for these services will be reassessed and may be reduced or be performed in-house.
In a second arrangement, warehousing services are provided to the Company from Gerard Private. This includes receipt into and holding of product for the Company, picking and packing of Company orders of product for delivery to customers, transport of Company orders using third party logistic providers and logistics administration in connection with warehousing and transport of Company orders of product. The cost of warehousing services by the Company to Gerard Private is $30,000 for the period 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023.
17
ZIMI LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
In a third arrangement, quality assurance ( QA ) and logistics services are provided to the Company from Gerard Private’s offices in Hong Kong at a fee of 5.5% of the cost of the products. The QA services comprise overseeing every stage of the production and delivery process to ensure the requisite level of quality is maintained. It is anticipated the Company will continue to engage Gerard Private for the provision of QA services until at least 30 June 2023 and thereafter the engagement may continue indefinitely, or these QA services may be terminated or be performed by another third party.
The Company considers that the provision of services by another third party would not be beneficial. There exists a working relationship between the Company and Gerard Private under the three arrangements, the Company avoids additional headcount, and allows the Company to access the services of two individuals that were an integral part of the design through to commercialisation of the Zimi products.
The Company and Gerard Private propose that the Company issue Placement Securities to the value of $350,000 as payment and pre-payment for:
-
(a) $175,000 of personnel and warehousing services, of which is expected to be incurred and payable over the next twelve months; and

(k) Dilution
If Resolutions 4 to 10 are approved, a total of 6,250,000 Placement Shares, 6,250,000 Placement Options and 1,875,000 Director Fee Shares will be issued to Related Parties.
The issue of the Placement Shares and Director Fee Shares will dilute the shareholding interests of existing Shareholders by approximately 6.08% assuming that a total of 78,265,841 Shares before the issue of the 6,250,000 Director Placement Shares and 1,875,000 Director Fee Shares to Related Parties.
The grant of Placement Options will not dilute the shareholding interests of existing Shareholders unless and until they are exercised into fully paid ordinary Shares.
In that eventuality and assuming that after the issue of all Tranche 2 Placement Shares there are no further issues of equity securities by the Company, upon the exercise of the 6,250,000 Placement Options, shareholding interests of existing Shareholders will be diluted further by approximately 3.95%.
As an example, the following table indicates the dilution impacts of the issue of Director Placement Shares, Director Fee Shares, Director Placement Options (and exercise thereof), Placement Options (and exercise thereof), and Broker Options (and exercise thereof) on a shareholder that holds 1,000,000 shares:

DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chair of the Meeting, who is required to vote these proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chair of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Voting Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of KMP.
STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS
You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such
a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY
You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Proxy Voting Form, contact Automic Registry Services.
