4. Background to Resolutions 3 – 10: Proposed Acquisition and Placement
4.1 Proposed Acquisition of Sprout
On 25 May 2026, the Company announced that it had entered a share sale agreement (Share Sale Agreement) pursuant to which Better Brands Global Pty Ltd (ACN 695 876 889) (BBG), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, agreed to acquire 100% of the issued capital in Sprout Organic Pty Ltd (ACN 639 172 517) (Sprout) including Sprout's wholly owned subsidiary Better Brands 3PL Pty Ltd (ACN 682 935 922) (Better Brands)(the Proposed Acquisition).
The Company is required to obtain Shareholder approval for the Proposed Acquisition for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2, this being the subject of Resolution 3.
Below sets out the material information for Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to approve the Company undertaking of the Proposed Acquisition.
4.2 About the Company
The Company is an Israeli public company listed on the official list of the ASX since 28 October 2020. Since its listing on ASX, the Company's activities have centered around the development, production and commercialisation of clinically tested nutritional supplement formulations for children.
The Company owns the intellectual property to the following children's nutritional products, including:
(a) Healthy Heights - a supplement formula shown in a clinical study to improve height and weight in children between the ages of 3 and 9 years;
(b) Healthy Height Junior Growth Formula - a supplement formula shown in a clinical study to improve height and weight in children 10 years old and older; and
(c) Healthy Heights Sports Formula – a supplement formula designed to support athletic performance of children.
4.3 About Sprout
Sprout is an Australian brand that develops, markets and distributes organic, Plant-based and allergen-friendly infant and children's nutrition products through outsourced manufacturing and established retail, pharmacy and eCommerce channels.
Sprout's first flagship product is the world's first 100% organic, Plant-based infant and children's formula. Its primary market differentiator is that it is free from common allergens, including dairy and soy, along with being 100% Plant based and organic. The formula is paediatrician-approved and has been formulated to meet all requirements of the Food Standards Australia & New Zealand (FSANZ) code. Sprout also produces and sells a range of healthy, Plant-based children's snacks and shakes. This range includes kids' snack bars, toddler formula and essential shakes.
4.4 Commercial rationale for the Proposed Acquisition
The Proposed Acquisition aligns with the Company's strategy to expand its children's nutrition business, improve operating efficiency, broaden its product portfolio and leverage complementary distribution networks. Through combining the Company's clinically driven formulations with Sprout's organic and Plant-based range, it is expected to address a wider spectrum of consumer preferences. The anticipated benefits include enhanced cross-selling opportunities, expanded retail and online reach, improved logistics efficiency through Sprout's warehousing and fulfilment capability, and coordinated procurement and back-office functions.
The Board considers that the Proposed Acquisition will strengthen the Company's overall market position and growth trajectory in the following ways:
(a) Expanded Product Portfolio and Market Coverage
(a) The addition of Sprout's organic, Plant-based children's nutrition products complements the NGS's clinically validated children's supplements, enabling the Company to offer a full-spectrum portfolio from children's formula to nutritional shakes for older children.
(b) This broadens the Company's addressable market, increases cross-selling opportunities, and strengthens its positioning as a comprehensive children's nutrition provider.
(b) Enhanced Distribution and Sales Channels

Refer to Section 4.12 below for further details on indicative substantial holders following the Proposed Acquisition and the Placement.
4.9 Conditionality of Resolutions
Resolution 3 is the primary transaction resolution. Resolutions 4 to 10 are each contingent on the approval of Resolution 3, as they relate to matters that only arise upon completion of the acquisition.

Mr Ben Chester, currently Chief Operating Officer of Sprout, is expected to be appointed as Chief Operating Officer of the Combined Group.
Mr Manik Pujara, who currently serves as Executive Director and Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is expected to transition to the role of Non-Executive Director following Completion. Other than as disclosed above, no material changes to the composition of the Board are presently proposed as a consequence of the Proposed Acquisition.

Based on publicly available information, those Shareholders holding 5% or more of the Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice are set out below.
As at the date of this Notice
| SHAREHOLDER | SHARES | OPTIONS | % (UNDILUTED)¹ | % (FULLY DILUTED)² |

On completion of the Proposed Acquisition and the Placement
| SHAREHOLDER | SHARES | OPTIONS | % (UNDILUTED)¹ | % (FULLY DILUTED)² |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ben Chester | 129,205,572 | Nil | 13.62% | 11.70% |

| Brenten Simmonds | 92,658,543 | Nil | 9.77% | 8.39% |

1. Calculated on the presumption that there will be 948,702,097 Shares on issue following the Proposed Acquisition and issue of all Securities contemplated under this Notice.
2. Calculated on the presumption that, if all Securities on issue following the Proposed Acquisition and issue of all Securities contemplated under this Notice are fully diluted, there will be 1,104,087,518 Shares on issue.
4.12 Pro forma balance sheet and financial effect of the Proposed Acquisition
The pro forma balance sheet of the Company following Completion and issues of all Securities contemplated by this Notice is set out in Schedule 3 of this Notice. The historical and pro forma information is presented in abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the disclosure required by the International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to its annual financial statements.
The pro forma balance sheet illustrates the principal effect of the Proposed Acquisition and Placement on the consolidated financial position of the Company. On a pro forma basis, total assets are expected to increase from approximately US$1.8 million to US$10.3 million and total equity is expected to increase from approximately US$0.3 million to US$8.2 million.
The increase in total assets is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the target business and the recognition of associated intangible assets, together with the net proceeds of the Placement. The increase in total equity reflects the consideration securities to be issued under the Proposed Acquisition and the equity capital raised under the Placement.
Based on the historical financial information of the Company and Sprout for the year ended 31 December 2025, the Combined Group would have generated annual revenue of approximately US$5.3 million and a loss before tax and extraordinary items of approximately US$1.8 million. The corresponding annual expenditure of the Combined Group would have been approximately US$7.1 million. These figures are unaudited and illustrative only and do not reflect any anticipated synergies, identified annualised cost savings, integration costs or future operating performance of the Combined Group.
The Company expects the Proposed Acquisition to contribute additional revenue-generating operations and operational efficiencies. However, the actual future impact of the Proposed Acquisition and Placement on the Company's annual revenue, expenditure and profit before tax will depend on the performance of the Combined Group following completion.
4.13 Indicative Timetable
Subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 3 and the other relevant Resolutions 4-10 in this Notice, Completion of the Proposed Acquisition is expected to occur as soon as practicable following the Meeting and satisfaction (or waiver, where applicable) of the remaining conditions precedent under the Share Sale Agreement.
The Consideration Shares, Loan Repayment Shares, Convertible Note Shares, Placement Shares and Lead Manager Options are expected to be issued shortly following Completion and, in each case, within the timeframes specified in the relevant Resolutions and in any event no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by the ASX Listing Rules).
4.14 ASX Disclaimer
ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Notice of Meeting and makes no statement regarding the merits of the Proposed Acquisition or the transactions contemplated by this Notice.
5. Resolution 3: Approval of the Proposed Acquisition
5.1 General
Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to undertake the Proposed Acquisition for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 and for all other purposes.
A detailed description of the Proposed Acquisition and the associated transactions are outlined in Section 4 of the Explanatory Statement above. The material terms and conditions of the Share Sale Agreement which effects the Proposed Acquisition are included in Schedule 1 to this Notice.
5.2 ASX Listing Rule 11.1
ASX Listing Rule 11.1 provides that where an entity proposes to make a significant change, either directly or indirectly, to the nature and/or scale of its activities, it must provide full details to ASX as soon as practicable and comply with the following:
- (a) provide to ASX information regarding the change and its effect on future potential earnings, and any information that ASX asks for;
- (b) if ASX requires, obtain the approval of holders of its shares and any requirements of ASX in relation to the notice of meeting; and
- (c) if ASX requires, meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if the company were applying for admission to the Official List.
5.3 ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2
ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 empowers ASX to require a listed company to obtain the approval of its shareholders to make a significant change to the nature or scale of its activities. For this reason, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolution 3 for the Company to undertake the Proposed Acquisition under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2.
5.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Proposed Acquisition as outlined in this Notice, including the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital in Sprout and assume certain liabilities in Sprout. Approval of Resolution 3 will enable the Company to proceed with the Resolutions addressed in Resolution 4 to 10, each of which is contingent on the Proposed Acquisition being approved and will only take effect if the relevant Resolution is also passed by Shareholders.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Acquisition and Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 will be withdrawn.
5.5 Directors' Recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
5.6 Chair's Voting Intentions
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
6. Resolution 4: Approval to issue Shares to Sprout Shareholders in consideration for the Proposed Acquisition
6.1 General
Subject to Resolution 3 being approved by Shareholders, this Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of an aggregate of 401,228,887 Consideration Shares to the Sprout Shareholders in consideration for BBG's acquisition of 100% of the issued capital in Sprout under the Share Sale Agreement.
6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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 proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Upfront Scrip Consideration to Sprout Shareholders. 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Upfront Scrip Consideration to the Sprout Shareholders (or their nominee(s)). Accordingly, subject to the renegotiation of the Share Sale Agreement, the Proposed Acquisition will not proceed if Shareholders do not approve this Resolution.
6.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified/selected | The Sprout Shareholders (or their nominee(s)). |

6.6 Chair's Voting Intentions
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
7. Resolution 5: Approval to issue Loan Repayment Shares to Sprout Creditors
7.1 General
As noted in Section 4.1 of the Explanatory Statement, subject to the Proposed Acquisition being approved by Shareholders under Resolution 3, the Company will assume the Sprout loans totalling $1,575,422 as part of the Proposed Acquisition. The Company has agreed with the Sprout Creditors to settle $925,422 of the total debt through the issue of an aggregate of 46,271,114 Loan Repayment Shares to the Sprout Creditors.
Further details about the Sprout Creditors and the number of Shares each will be issued subject to Shareholder approval being obtained is set out in Section 4.5 of the Explanatory Statement.
The Loan Repayment Shares issued to Mr Selasi Berdie will not require Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 as Mr Berdie would not otherwise be a Related Party of the Company but for the fact he believes, or has reasonable grounds to believe, that he is likely to become a Related Party by virtue of this Proposed Acquisition. The issue of Shares to Mr Berdie (or his nominee(s)) under Resolution 5 therefore relies on Exception 12 of Listing Rule 10.12.
7.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 6.2 above.
Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Loan Repayment Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
7.3 Effect of Shareholder approval
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the 46,271,114 Loan
Page 32
Repayment Shares to the Sprout Creditors (or their nominee(s)). In addition, the issue of these Loan Repayment Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Loan Repayment Shares to the Sprout Creditors, and the Company will be required to settle the relevant portion of the Sprout director loans through alternative means, which will likely be through the payment of cash.
7.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of 2,240,000 Shares to Mr Andrew Grover (or their nominee(s)) pursuant to the Employee Incentive Plan. The Shares are being issued in lieu of cash fees payable to Mr Grover for the period from 17 July 2026 to 16 November 2026.
This Resolution is subject to Shareholders re-electing Mr Grover as a Director under Resolution 2.
14.2 Listing Rule 10.14
A summary of Listing Rule 10.14 is set out in Section 13.2 above.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
14.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 12 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within 3 years after the date of the Meeting. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and subject to renegotiation with the Director, the Company will be required to pay Mr Grover's remuneration in cash.

15. Resolution 13: Approval to issue Shares to Mr Andrew Grover in lieu of Director's fees
15.2 General
As noted in Section 14.1, Mr Andrew Grover agreed to accept his remuneration from 17 November 2025 to 16 November 2026 in the form of Securities. Mr Grover has not received any payment of his Director's fees for the period commencing on 17 November 2025.
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval to issue 4,480,000 Shares (Director Fee Shares) to Mr Grover (or his nominee(s)) in lieu of $89,600 owing Director's fees for the period from his appointment date being 17 November 2025 to 16 July 2026.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Securities proposed to be issued under Resolution 12 to Mr Grover is for Directors' fees to be paid from 17 July 2026 to 16 November 2026, whereas the Securities proposed to be issued to Mr Grover under this Resolution 13 is in lieu of Director's fees owing from 17 November 2025 to 16 July 2026.
Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought under Resolution 13 to issue and allot the Director Fee Shares to Mr Andrew Grover (or their nominee(s)) for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
15.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
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 and 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.
Mr Andrew Grover is a Related Party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Therefore, the proposed issue of Director Fee Shares to Mr Andrew Grover under Resolution 13 respectively falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12.
The issue therefore requires Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
15.3 Technical information required under ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 13 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Director Fee Shares to Mr Andrew Grover (or their nominee(s)) to whom that specific Resolution applies. As approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 13 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue to Mr Andrew Grover (or their respective nominee(s)) and the Company will be required to pay the Directors' fees in cash instead.
15.4 Prescribed Information pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.13

17.5 Directors' Recommendation
The Directors (with Mr Manik Pujara and Mr Andrew Grover abstaining from making a recommendation with respect to the Resolution relating to them) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 16 and 17.
17.6 Chair's Voting Intentions
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 16 and 17.
18. Resolution 18: Approval to issue an additional 10% of the issued capital of the Company over a 12-month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A
18.1 General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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 period.
Under ASX 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% (Additional 10% Placement Capacity). An Eligible Entity means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. As of the date of this Notice, the Company's market capitalisation is $6,994,957. The Company is therefore an Eligible Entity.
This Resolution 18 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval. This is in addition to the ability of the Company to issue 15% of its issued capital without Shareholder approval over a 12-month period pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If passed, this Resolution 18 will allow the Company to allot and issue up to the number of new Equity Securities calculated in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (Placement Securities), each at an issue price of at least 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the last 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class of Equity Securities are recorded immediately before:
a) the date on which the price at which the Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
b) if the Placement Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of that date, the date on which the Placement Securities are issued.
18.2 Technical information required under ASX Listing Rule 14.1A)
If this Resolution 18 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution 18 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the Additional 10% Placement Capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
18.3 Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.
Period for which the approval will be valid
An approval under this ASX Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
(a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
(b) the time and date of the entity's next annual general meeting; and
(c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Any Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities and issued for cash consideration.
The issue price per Equity Security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the equity securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
(a) the date on which the price at the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; and
(b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of that date, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Page 53
Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may be used
As noted above, any Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.
If Shareholders approve this Resolution and the Company does raise funds from the issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company's existing Plan s, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:
(a) development of the Company's business; and
(b) acquisition of new assets or investments.
Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary securityholders
If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.
There is a risk that:
(a) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
(b) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing securityholders (prior to any consolidation) on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable "A" in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) | DILUTION | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shares issued – 10% voting dilution | Issue Price | ||||
| $0.01 | $0.02 | $0.03 | |||
| 50% decrease | Issue Price | 50% increase | |||
| Funds Raised | |||||
| Current | 333,093,207 | 33,309,321 | $333,093 | $666,186 | $999,280 |
| 50% increase | 499,639,811 | 49,963,981 | $499,640 | $999,280 | $1,498,919 |
| 100% increase | 666,186,414 | 66,618,641 | $666,186 | $1,332,373 | $1,998,560 |
(a) Based on the total number of Shares on issue as at 11 June 2026.
(b) Based on the closing price on 11 June 2026, which is also the issue price for the Proposed Acquisition and Placement Shares.
(c) The table assumes that the Company issues the maximum number of Shares permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
(d) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of this Explanatory Statement.
(e) The table shows the effect of an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A only,
Page 54
not under the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Allocation policy for issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company's allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:
(a) the Company's intentions in relation to the possible issue of Equity Securities (for cash consideration) during the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;
(b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase Plan);
(c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;
(d) the Company's financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and
(e) advice from the Company's corporate or financial advisors.
Based on the Company's historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed.
As at the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in relation to any parties, investors or existing securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules, the Board of Directors reserves the right to determine at the time of any issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.
If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of Equity Securities during the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company's obligations under ASX Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.
Offers made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of Equity Securities.
