Voting on each Resolution will be on a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by attorney or by proxy or, in the case of a body corporate, by a representative, shall have one vote for each Share held by him, her or it. In the case of joint Shareholders, all holders may attend the Meeting but only one holder may vote at the Meeting in respect of the relevant Shares (including by proxy).
Proxies
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on behalf of the Shareholder.

A proxy need not be a Shareholder and may be a body corporate. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as a proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the Meeting and provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to the commencement of the Meeting. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on the Resolutions by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the form of proxy for that item of business. An instrument of proxy deposited or received at the registered office of the Company in which the name of the appointee is not filed in will be deemed to be given in the favour of the Chair of the Meeting.

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 Director Shares to the Directors constitutes giving a financial benefit and the directors are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required as the issue of the Director Shares is reasonable in the circumstances as the Company and the Directors are dealing at arm's length and the terms of issue of the Director Shares are no less favourable than the terms of the Placement.
Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9:

Other ASX Listing Rule Requirements
The Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Shares in relation to any Resolution which is passed within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Shares will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

Resolution 10: Approval of Issue of Options to Non-Executive Director
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Options to the Company's Non-Executive Director, Nicholas Opie (or his nominee), on the terms and conditions as follows:
Number: 1,250,000
Exercise price: Each option converts to one fully paid Share on payment of 6.3c per Share
Vesting date: 25% of options will vest on each anniversary of 13 May 2026, that is on 13 May 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030, provided Mr Opie remains a director of the Company on each of those dates. There are no other performance conditions.
Expiry date: 13 May 2031
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:
c) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
d) 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 Options to Mr Opie (or his nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Opie is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Opie) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Options because the issue of the Options was agreed as part of the remuneration package for Mr Opie, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm's length basis.
Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:
a) The Options will be issued to Mr Opie (or his nominee)
b) Mr Opie is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
c) The maximum number of Options to be issued is 1,250,000.
d) The terms of the options are set out above.
e) All of the Options will be issued on the same date which will be no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
f) The issue price of the Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options).
g) The purpose of the issue of the options is to remunerate and incentivise Mr Opie.
h) The current total remuneration package for Mr Opie is $51,700 inclusive of superannuation.
Other ASX Listing Rule Requirements
If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to Mr Opie within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options.
Voting exclusion statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 10 by or on behalf of Nicholas Opie and any other person who will obtain a material benefit as a result of the issue of the shares (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary shares in the Company) or any associates of that person.
However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:
- A person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or
- The chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or
-
A holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
-
The beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of aperson excluded from voting, on the resolution; and
- The holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company may issue the Proposed Shares within 30 days after the date of the General Meeting.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the issue of the Proposed Shares will not proceed and the Company will pay cash of $90,000 in lieu.
