EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

 

The following Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of the Company.

 

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide shareholders with information they reasonably require to decide how to vote upon the resolution. The Board recommends that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum before determining how to vote on the resolution.

 

Resolution 1: Share Consolidation

 

Introduction:

 

Pursuant to section 254H(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company may convert all or any of its Shares into a larger or smaller number of Shares by ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting.

 

Purpose of consolidation:

 

As at the Last Practicable Date, the Company has 217,623,636 Shares on issue.

 

This is a large number of shares relative to companies of similar size and market capitalisation.

Having such a large number of Shares on issue creates some perceived disadvantages for the Company and its shareholders, including:

 

·

potential negative perceptions associated with a low share price;

 

·

precluding investment from particular investors who may be subject to a mandate or restrictions on investing in companies below a certain share price threshold; and

 

·

administrative costs associated with managing a large volume of shares.

 

Further, the Company’s stock has traded below USD 1.00 per share for each consecutive trading day since 31 August 2023 (AEST). The NASDAQ Listing Rules require a stock’s minimum bid price to be at least USD 1.00 per share. If the Company’s stock trades below USD 1.00 per share for more than 30 consecutive business days, NASDAQ may issue a deficiency notice stating that the Company is no longer in compliance with its continuing NASDAQ listing requirements and providing the Company with a further 180 days to correct the deficiency or face de-listing from the NASDAQ.

 

On 12 October 2023 (EST), NASDAQ granted the Company a 180-day cure period to correct the deficiency or face de-listing from the NASDAQ. That cure period expires on 9 April 2024 (EST).

 

The Directors consider that consolidating the Company’s Shares:

 

·

would assist in dealing with the perceived disadvantages set out above; and

 

·

will allow compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

 

Timing of implementation:

 

It is intended that the Company’s Shares will, subject to the passing of Resolution 1, be consolidated with immediate effect so that the Company will be put in the best possible position to demonstrate continuing compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

 

 

Effect of consolidation:

 

Effect on Shares

 

As at the Last Practicable Date, the Company has 217,623,636 Shares on issue. If Resolution 1 is passed, the number of Shares on issue will be reduced on the basis that every 200 Shares on issue will be consolidated into one Share (subject to rounding) (the Consolidation), as follows:

 

Step		Number of Shares
Current (pre-Consolidation)			217,623,636
Forecast (post-Consolidation)1			1,088,118

 

As the consolidation applies equally to all Shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of Shares (subject only to rounding).

 

Accordingly, the consolidation will have no material effect on the percentage shareholding of each individual Shareholder in the Company (subject to rounding). The consolidation will not result in any change to the substantive rights and obligations of existing Shareholders.

 

Similarly, the aggregate value of each Shareholder’s holding (and the Company’s market capitalisation) should not materially change (other than as a result of rounding) as a result of the consolidation alone (and assuming no other market movements occur). However, the price per Share can be expected to increase to reflect the reduced number of Shares on issue. Theoretically, in the absence of market or other events, the post-consolidation Share price should be approximately 200 times its pre-consolidation price. The actual effect of the consolidation on the Share price will depend on a number of factors outside the control of the Company, and the market price following the Consolidation may be higher or lower than the theoretical post-consolidation price.

 

Treatment of fractions

 

Where the Consolidation results in an entitlement to a fraction of a Share, that fraction will be dealt with in a manner determined by the Board.

 

Effect on Series A Preference Shares, Public Warrants, and Incentive Rights

 

As at the Last Practicable Date, the Company has on issue the following Series A Preference Shares and Public Warrants which may be convertible into Shares:

 

Security		Number2
Series A Preference Shares			20,020,815
Public Warrants			9,268,131

 

1	Assumes no Incentive Rights, Public Warrants, or Series A Preference Shares are converted. These are approximate numbers only. The actual numbers will depend on position of each security holder on the effective date of the Consolidation and the effects of rounding.

2

Assumes no Public Warrants or Series A Preference Shares are converted. These are approximate numbers only. The actual numbers will depend on position of each applicable security holder on the effective date of the Consolidation and the effects of rounding.

 

 

Following the Consolidation, in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preference Shares, the conversion price of the Series A Preference Shares will be adjusted automatically to account for the Consolidation.

 

Following the Consolidation, in accordance with the terms of the Public Warrants, the number of Public Warrants will be adjusted automatically to account for the Consolidation.

 

Following the Consolidation, in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Rights, the Consolidation will result in the number of Incentive Rights being consolidated in a manner determined by the Board so as to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage to any holder of Incentive Rights resulting from a corporation action by the Company, or to adjust the Incentive Rights in accordance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules to reflect the Consolidation. This means that the number of Incentive Rights (and the applicable exercise prices) will be consolidated in the same manner as the Shares.

 

Tax implications

 

Shareholders of the Company are encouraged to seek independent tax advice on the proposed share consolidation and neither the Company, nor its employees, officers or advisors accept any responsibility or liability for the individual taxation implications arising from the proposed share consolidation.

 

Holding statements

 

With effect from the date of the Consolidation, all existing holding statements will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of securities on a post-Consolidation basis.

 

After the Consolidation becomes effective, new holding statements will be issued to security holders, who are encouraged to check their post-Consolidation holdings before seeking to sell or otherwise dispose of any Company securities.

 

Indicative timetable:

 

If Resolution 1 is passed, it is expected that the share consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following indicative timetable:

 

Date and time (if applicable) in AEST	Event
Thursday, 29 February 2024	Date of this Notice of Meeting
Wednesday, 20 March 2024 at 7:00pm	Record date for purposes of Shareholder vote
22 March 2024 at 9:00am	General meeting of Shareholders of the Company is held
22 March 2024	Effective date of Consolidation

 

 

Board recommendation

 

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 for the reasons outlined above.

 

The Chair of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
