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 issued at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue during the period the approval is valid an additional number of equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the date of the approval, as adjusted in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A. Having obtained Shareholder approval at the Company’s annual general meeting on 28 November 2024, the Company has an additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it effectively uses up 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 following the date of issue of the 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
10
ZIMI LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
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. Listing Rule 7.4 also provides that an issue made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 can be approved subsequently under Listing Rule 7.4.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
2.4 Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue 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 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 under that rule.
2.5

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
(a) Names of persons to whom the Company issued or agreed to issue securities or basis on which they were identified

The T1 Placement Shares were not issued pursuant to any agreement.
- (h) Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 1 is included in the Notice preceding this Explanatory Statement.
2.6 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 so that the Company’s 15% issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 is restored in respect of the T1 Placement Shares issued to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

As detailed in Section 1.1, the Company proposes to issue with Shareholder approval under Resolution 2, 180,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to unrelated institutional and sophisticated investors ( Proposed Placement Participants ) to raise an additional $1,080,000 (before costs).
As at the date of the Notice, the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the issue of the T2 Placement Shares. Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the T2 Placement Shares.
3.2 Listing Rule requirements
As summarised in Section 2.3 above, 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 Company does not presently have sufficient placement capacity to issue the T2 Placement Shares pursuant to the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1. In addition, the proposed issue of T2 Placement Shares pursuant to Resolution 2 does not fall into any of the exceptions under Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Resolution
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution to approve the issue of T2 Placement Shares to the Proposed Placement Participants for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
3.4
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of T2 Placement Shares to the Proposed Placement Participants. In addition, the T2 Placement Shares 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. The Company will also raise $1,080,000 (before costs) from the issue.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of T2 Placement Shares and will not be able to raise $1,080,000 (before costs) from the issue.

3.6 Directors’ recommendation

4. Resolutions 3 and 4: Approval to issue T2 Placement Shares to Related Parties
4.1 Background
As detailed in Section 1, the Company is in the process of undertaking the Placement for the purposes of raising funds to fund the Company’s working capital to fund manufacturing costs associated with sales orders and investment into new product research and development activities.
Under tranche 2 of the Placement, the Company proposes to issue up to 246,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to the unrelated Proposed Placement Participants and related participants Directors Simon Gerard and Simon Beissel, with shareholder approval to raise up to $1,476,000 (before costs), to make up the total Placement of approximately $1,851,000.
Pursuant to Resolution 2, the Company is seeking shareholder approval for the issue of up to 180,000,000 T2 Placement Shares under the Placement which have been applied for by Proposed Placement Participants who are not ‘related parties’ of the Company ( Non-Related Party Investors ).
Directors Simon Gerard and Simon Beissel ( Related Party Investors ) have applied to participate in the Placement for up to 61,000,000 T2 Placement Shares and up to 5,000,000 T2 Placement Shares respectively, subject to shareholder approval (being the subject of Resolutions 3 and 4)
4.2 Resolutions
Resolution 3 seeks approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.11 to issue up to 61,000,000 T2 Placement Shares under the Placement to Simon Gerard or his respective nominee.
Resolution 4 seeks approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.11 to issue up to 5,000,000 T2 Placement Shares under the Placement to Simon Beissel or his respective nominee.
4.3
Corporations Act requirements
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or
- (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.
14
ZIMI LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes the directors of the Company. As such, Simon Gerard and Simon Beissel are related parties of the Company for the purposes of Section 208 of the Corporations Act, by virtue of each being a Director.
A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, Section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party.
One of the nominated exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is where the provision of the financial benefit is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length (or on terms less favourable than arm’s length).
Given the Related Party Investors will be participating in the Placement on the same terms as the parties who are not related parties of the Company (the Non-Related Party Investors), the Board considers the issue of T2 Placement Shares under Resolutions 3 and 4 to constitute provision of a financial benefit on arms’ length terms, and accordingly that Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required.
4.4 Listing Rule requirements
The Company is proposing to issue:
-
(a) up to 61,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to Simon Gerard (or his nominee) (being the subject of Resolution 3); and
-
(b) up to 5,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to Simon Beissel (or his nominee) (being the subject of Resolution 4),
who are related parties of the Company by virtue of each being a Director.
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the Company who has nominated a director to the board of the Company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The proposed issue of T2 Placement Shares to the Related Party Investors falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not also required under Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a Related Party unless is obtains approval of its shareholders.
15
ZIMI LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Simon Gerard and Simon Beissel are each ‘related parties’ of the Company under the Listing Rules. The proposed issue of T2 Placement Shares to those parties falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
4.5
Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Resolution 3
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 61,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to Simon Gerard (or his nominee) and raise approximately $366,000 (before costs).
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of up to 61,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to Simon Gerard (or his nominee) and the Company will not raise $366,000 in funds.
Resolution 4
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 5,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to Simon Beissel (or his nominee) and raise approximately $30,000 (before costs).
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of up to 5,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to Simon Beissel (or his nominee) and the Company will not raise $30,000 in funds.

(b) The number and class of securities to be issued to the persons
In relation to Resolution 3, the Company proposes to issue up to 61,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to Mr Gerard (or his nominee). As a result of Mr Gerard’s proposed participation in the Placement, Mr Gerard’s holding in the Company will increase from 85,466,010 Shares and a 17.44% interest (as at the date of this Notice) to up to a total of 146,466,010 Shares and a 19.9% interest, if shareholders approve Resolutions 2 to 4. In the event Shareholders approve Resolution 3, and do not approve Resolutions 2 and 4, the number of T2 Placement Shares to be issued to Mr Gerard will be reduced so that Mr Gerard will hold no more than a 19.9% interest in the Company. For the avoidance of any doubt, the number of Shares proposed to be issued under Resolution 3 represents the maximum number to be issued.
In relation to Resolution 4, the Company proposes to issue up to 5,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to Mr Beissel (or his nominee).
