EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.digitalx.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report to be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

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 Meeting.

2916-08/3434517_8

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF A MR GREG DOOLEY

3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Mr Greg Dooley, who has held office without re-election since 25 November 2021 and being eligible retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Since September 2024, Mr Dooley has been acting as the interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company following the resignation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Further information in relation to Mr Dooley is set out below.

Qualifications,
experience and
other material
directorships
Mr Dooley is an experienced corporate executive and was
formerly the managing director of leading international share
registry company, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited for
13 years before retiring in July 2020.
During his time at Computershare Mr Dooley also served as
managing director of the Computershare Fund Services division,
which offered registry services for unlisted Funds. Mr Dooley holds
a Bachelor of Economics from Macquarie University, a Diploma
of Applied Finance and Investment and has completed the
Australia Institute of Company Directors’ Company Directors
course.
Term of office Mr Dooley has served as a Director since 3 August 2021 and was
last re-elected on 25 November 2021.
Independence If re-elected, the Board considers that Mr Dooley will be an
independent Director.
Board
recommendation
Having received an acknowledgement from Mr Dooley that he
has sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director and
having reviewed the performance of Mr Dooley since their
appointment to the Board and the skills, knowledge, experience
and capabilites required by the Board, the Directors (other than
Mr Dooley) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this
Resolution.

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, Mr Dooley will be re-elected to the Board as a non-independent Director given his current role as the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer.

If this Resolution is not passed, Mr Dooley will not continue in his role as independent Director. The Company may seek nominations or otherwise identify suitably qualified candidates to join the Company. As an additional consequence, this may detract from the Board and Company’s ability to execute on its strategic vision.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 - RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

4.1 Background

As announced on 18 March 2024, the Company completed a private placement to sophisticated and institutional investors ( Placement Participants ) to raise up to approximately $5,300,000 through the issue of 79,104,479 fully paid ordinary shares ( Share ) at an issue price of $0.067 per Share, together with free-attaching options ( Placement Placement ).

7

2916-08/3434517_8

The free-attaching options issued pursuant to the Placement have since expired, accordingly shareholder ratification is only sought for the issue of Shares under Resolutions 3 and 4.

The Shares were issued by the Company as follows:

  • (a) 77,604,154 Shares were issued by the Company on 26 March 2023;

  • (b) 1,037,638 Shares were issued by the Company on 27 March 2024; and

  • (c) 462,687 Shares were issued by the Company on 2 April 2024.

Use of funds

The $5,300,000 (before expenses) that was raised under the Placement has been applied towards working capital to fund the continuous expansion of the Company’s business, to bolster active treasury management; and to purchase Bitcoin and other digital assets.

4.2 General

These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 79,104,479 Shares at an issue price of $0.067 per Share to raise $5,300,000.

374,524 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 3) and 78,729,955 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being, the subject of Resolution 2).

4.3

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

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.

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%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 23 November 2023.

The issue 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 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

4.4

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, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.

4.5

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of

8

2916-08/3434517_8

equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

5.1 General

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without 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 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.

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%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 23 November 2023.

9

2916-08/3434517_8

An Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ). The Company is an Eligible Entity.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

For this Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be cast in favour of the Resolution.

If this Resolution 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 this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under 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.

5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

REQUIRED
INFORMATION
DETAILS
Period for
which the 7.1A
Mandate is
valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and
expire on the first to occur of the following:
(a)
the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
(b)
the time and date of the Company’s next annual general
meeting; and
(c)
the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any
transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in
the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of
the main undertaking).
Minimum price Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an
existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash
consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted
average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15
trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately
before:
(a)
the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are
to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the
Equity Securities; or
(b)
if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of
the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity
Securities are issued.
Use of funds The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities
under the 7.1A Mandate for the funding the Company’s operations,
including consideration of any potential acquisitions, the development
of the Company’s current business and general working capital.
Risk of
economic and
voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the
interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues
the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A
Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be
as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated
in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the
basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity
Securities on issue proposed to be issued as at 25 September 2024.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of
Shares on issue(Variable A in the formula)changes and the economic

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 866,404,031 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 25 September 2024 (being $0.041).

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  8. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

(b) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

Allocation The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A policy under Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of 7.1A Mandate Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

11

(c)

the Company;

Listing Rule
7.1A.2
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders
pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 23

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being
on and from 23 November 2023, the Company issued 78,729,955 Shares

6. RESOLUTION 6 – RENEWAL OF PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN THE CONSTITUTION

6.1 General

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.

Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, an entity may include a provision in its constitution whereby a proportional takeover bid for shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

In accordance with section 648G(1) of the Corporations Act, such clause will cease to apply at the end of three years from the incorporation of the Company, insertion of the clause or renewal of the clause (as appropriate) unless otherwise specified. When this clause ceases to apply, the constitution will be modified by omitting the clause.

A company may renew its proportional takeover approval provisions in the same manner in which a company can modify its constitution (i.e., by special resolution of shareholders).

The proportional takeover provisions contained in clause 36.1 of the Constitution are no longer operative as it has been more than three years since they were last approved by Shareholders.

This Resolution is a special resolution which will enable the Company to modify its Constitution by re-inserting proportional takeover provisions into the Constitution in the form of clause 36.1. The new clause 36.1 is in the same form as the existing clause 36.1 (as set out in Schedule 1 of this Notice).

The Company is permitted to seek further Shareholder approval to renew this clause for further periods of up to three years on each occasion.

A copy of the Constitution was released to ASX on 24 November 2022 and is available for download from the Company’s ASX announcements platform.

6.2 Technical information required by section 648G(5) of the Corporations Act

Overview A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer
made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that
shareholder’s shares.
Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company
has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a
proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the
bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in
accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

13

2916-08/3434517_8

This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect
on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last
renewal of the clause.
Effect of proposed
proportional
takeover provisions
Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market
bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration
of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the
acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-
market bid is prohibited unless and until a Resolution to approve
the proportional off-market bid is passed.
Reasons for
proportional
takeover provisions
A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company
changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose
of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain
practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a
majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left
as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being
able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an
adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow
Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is
acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid
is appropriately priced.
Knowledge of any
acquisition
proposals
As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal
by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a
substantial interest in the Company.
Potential
advantages and
disadvantages of
proportional
takeover provisions
The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions
have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and
that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an
offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.
The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions
for Shareholders include:
(a)
the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer
under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
(b)
assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked
in as a minority;
(c)
increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which
may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid
is adequately priced; and
(d)
each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely
outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing
the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist
in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under
the takeover bid.
The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover
provisions for Shareholders include:
(a)
proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;
(b)
lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a
premium; and
(c)
the
likelihood
of
a
proportional
takeover
bid
succeeding may be reduced.
Recommendation
of the Board
The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages
outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional
takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional
takeover provision in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of
Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders
vote in favour of this Resolution.

7. RESOLUTION 7 – APPOINTMENT OF BDO AUDIT AS AUDITOR

7.1 Background

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ( BDO WA ) was the previous auditor of the Company. As part of becoming a national entity, BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd has been replaced by BDO Audit Pty Ltd ( BDO Audit ) for the provision of BDO’s audit services in Western Australia. In effect, there was no change to the auditor of the Company.

Under section 327(C)(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company must appoint an auditor to fill a vacancy within 1 month after the vacancy occurs. On 8 May 2024, the Company appointed BDO Audit as the auditor of the Company following the resignation of BDO WA and ASIC’s consent to the resignation in accordance with section 329(5) of the Corporations Act, which occurred on the same date.

BDO Audit has provided to the Company, and has not withdrawn, its written consent to act as auditor of the Company, in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act.

In accordance with section 327(C)(2) and section 327B(1)(b) of the Corporations Act, BDO Audit will only hold office as the auditor of the Company until the Company’s next annual general meeting. The Company now seeks Shareholder approval for the ongoing appointment of BDO Audit as the auditor of the Company and its controlled entities.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the appointment of BDO Audit as the Company’s auditor will take effect from the close of this Meeting.

In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company has received a written nomination from a member of the Company, Emboodhu Pty Ltd, to appoint BDO Audit to fill the office of auditor of the Company. A copy of the nomination is set out in Schedule 2.

If Resolution 7 is not passed the Company will need to appoint a new auditor other than BDO Audit.

7.2 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.
