EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with, and forms part of, the accompanying Notice. The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions set out in the Notice.

Resolutions 1, 2 and 3: Ratification of the prior issues of Shares and Options under Listing Rule 7.4

The Company announced:

  • On 5 February 2024, it had raised $500,000 (before costs) at $0.10 per Share through a placement of 5,000,000 Shares ( First Placement Shares ) to new and existing shareholders ( First Placement );

  • On 13 February 2024, it had issued 500,000 unlisted options to Taycol Nominees Pty Ltd (nominee of Taylor Collison Limited) as part consideration for services provided in connection with the First Placement ( Advisor Options ); and

  • On 5 April 2024, it had raised $355,500 (before costs) at $0.10 per Share through a second placement of 3,555,000 Shares ( Second Placement Shares ) to new and existing sophisticated international and domestic investors ( Second Placement ).

Listing Rule 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rules 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.

The issues of the First Placement Shares, Advisor Options and Second Placement Shares did not fit within any of these exceptions and, as the issues have not yet been approved by Shareholders, utilise the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, thereby reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval for the 12 month period following the issue dates.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where Shareholders subsequently approve an issue of securities, the issue will be treated as having been approved under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby replenishing the Company’s 15% capacity, enabling it to issue further securities up to that limit.

By ratifying the issue of the First Placement Shares, Advisor Options and Second Placement Shares, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the:

  • First Placement Shares;

  • Advisor Options; and

  • Second Placement Shares.

If each of Resolution 1, Resolution 2 and Resolution 3 are approved by Shareholders, the issue of the First Placement Shares, Advisor Options and Second Placement Shares will no longer utilise the

Company’s 15% capacity limit under Listing Rule 7.1 effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue dates.

If each or any of Resolution 1, Resolution 2 and Resolution 3 are not approved by Shareholders, the Company's ability to issue further equity securities over the next 12 months without Shareholder approval will be restricted.

Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights. If the Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.
