so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Resolution 1(a) and (b) – Ratification of issue of Placement Shares
3.1
Background
On 23 April 2024, the Company announced that it had secured firm commitments from new
and existing professional and sophisticated investors to raise approximately $2,300,000
(before costs) via a two-tranche placement (Placement). The Placement is comprised of an
aggregate 46,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.05 per Share, with one (1) free attaching
unquoted Option for every two (2) Shares issued, each exercisable at $0.10 each and expiring
3 years from the date of issue, as follows:
3.2
(a)
39,600,000 Shares to be issued to unrelated professional and sophisticated investors
(the subject of Resolution 1(a) and (b)) (Placement Shares) and 19,800,000
unquoted Options (the subject of Resolution 2) (Placement Options); and
(b)
6,400,000 Shares (Director Placement Shares) and 3,200,000 unquoted Options
(Director Placement Options) proposed to be issued to Directors Greg Hutchinson
and Michael Winlo (and/or their respective nominees) (the subject of Resolution 3).
General
On 7 May 2024, the Company issued the Placement Shares as follows:
Page 7
(a)
2,937,061 Placement Shares using the Company’s available placement capacity
under Listing Rule 7.1; and
(b)
36,662,939 Placement Shares using the Company’s available placement capacity
under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolution 1(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify
the issue of the Placement Shares.
3.3
Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that
period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a
special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase its 15% placement
capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval
at its annual general meeting held on 16 November 2023.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules
7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of
the Company's placement capacities under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. This reduces the
Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement
Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a
company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing
Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and
7.1A), those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval
for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to
retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity
set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule
7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 2,937,061 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the
Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities
it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 36,662,939 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the
Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity
Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the
issue date.
If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 2,937,061 Placement Shares will continue to be included in
the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity
Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder
approval, to the extent of 2,937,061 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the
issue of those Placement Shares.
Page 8
If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 36,662,939 Placement Shares will continue to be included in
the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity
Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder
approval, to the extent of 36,662,939 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the
issue of those Placement Shares (and assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule
7.1A remains in force for this period).
3.4
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in
relation to the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares:
3.5
(a)
The Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and institutional investors
(Placement Participants), none of whom is a related party or Material Investor of the
Company. The participants in the Placement were identified through a bookbuild
process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to
participate in the Placement from existing contacts of the Company and clients of the
Lead Manager.
(b)
A total of 39,600,000 Placement Shares were issued as follows:
(i)
2,937,061 Shares were issued using the Company’s available placement
capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
(ii)
36,662,939 Shares were issued using the Company’s available placement
capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(c)
The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company
and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
(d)
The Placement Shares were issued on 7 May 2024 at $0.05 per Share.
(e)
The proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares have been or are intended to
be applied towards:
(i)
support the strategic scale-up and national expansion of the Empax Centre;
(ii)
costs of the Placement; and
(iii)
general working capital.
(f)
There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the
Placement Shares.

Resolution 2 – Ratification of issue of Placement Options
4.1
General
The background to the issue of the Placement Options is in Section 3.1 above.
On 7 May 2024, the Company issued the Placement Options using the Company's available
placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the
Placement Options.
4.2
Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is contained in Section 3.3 above.
The issue of the Placement Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule
7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the
Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity
to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the
12-month period following the issue of the Placement Options.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the
flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% additional placement capacity
set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 2 is passed, 19,800,000 Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the
Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities
it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, 19,800,000 Placement Options will continue to be included in the
Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity
Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder
approval, to the extent of 19,800,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the
issue of the Placement Options.
4.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in
relation to the ratification of the issue of the Placement Options:
(a)

Section 3.4(a) above for further details of the Placement Participants).
(b)
A total of 19,800,000 Placement Options were issued using the Company’s available
placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.
(c)
The 19,800,000 Placement Options were issued on 7 May 2024.
(d)
The Placement Options were issued as free-attaching Options to the Placement
Shares. Accordingly, nil additional cash consideration was payable by the Placement
Participants.
(e)
The Placement Options are exercisable at $0.10 each, expiring 7 May 2027, and are
otherwise subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2. Shares issued upon
Page 10
exercise of the Placement Options will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of
the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares
on issue.
4.4
(f)
A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 3.4(e)
above. No additional funds will be raised by the issue of the Placement Options. Any
funds raised upon exercise of the Placement Options will be used towards general
working capital purposes.
(g)
There are no other material terms to the issue of the Placement Options.
(h)

Additional information

5.
Resolution 3(a) and (b) – Approval of issue of Director Placement
Securities
5.1
General
The background to the Placement is in Section 3.1 above.
Directors Greg Hutchinson and Michael Winlo wish to participate in the Placement to the
extent of subscribing for up to 6,400,000 Director Placement Shares and 3,200,000 Director
Placement Options (together, the Director Placement Securities) to raise up to
approximately $320,000 (before costs) in the following proportions:
Director

Greg Hutchinson

400,000
200,000
TOTAL
$320,000
6,400,000
3,200,000
Resolution 3(a) - (b) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for
the issue of the Director Placement Securities to the Directors (or their respective nominees).
5.2
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 any of the following
persons without the approval of its Shareholders:
Page 11
(a)
a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
(b)
a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a
substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
(c)
a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a
substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
(d)
an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule
10.11.4); or
(e)
a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule
10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be
approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
The Directors are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception
applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not
apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement
Securities as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of
the Director Placement Securities to the Directors (or their respective nominees) will not be
included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3(a) to (b) (inclusive) will be to allow the
Company to issue the Director Placement Securities, raising up to $320,000 (before costs).
If Resolution 3(a) - (b) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed
with the issue of the Director Placement Securities and will not receive the additional $320,000
(before costs) committed by the Directors.
5.3
Specific 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 the proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities:
(a)
The Director Placement Securities will be issued to the Directors (or their respective
nominees) in the manner set out in Section 5.1.
(b)
Each of the Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue
of being Directors of the Company.
(c)
A maximum of 6,400,000 Director Placement Shares and 3,200,000 Director
Placement Options will be issued to the Directors (and/or their respective nominees).
(d)
The Director Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the
Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on
issue.
(e)
The Director Placement Options will be exercisable at $0.10 each and will expire on 7
May 2027. The Director Placement Options are subject to the terms and conditions
Schedule 2.
Page 12
5.4
(f)
The Director Placement Securities will be issued within one month after the date of the
Meeting.
(g)
The Director Placement Shares are proposed to be issued at an issue price of $0.05
each, being the same issue price as other Placement Shares and will raise up to
approximately $320,000 (before costs).
(h)
The Director Placement Options are proposed to be issued for nil cash consideration
as they are free-attaching to the Director Placement Shares. Accordingly, no funds will
be raised from the issue of the Director Placement Options. Any funds raised upon
exercise of the Director Placement Options will be used towards general working
capital purposes.
(i)
A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 3.4(e)
above. No additional funds will be raised by the issue of the Director Placement
Options.
(j)
The proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities is not intended to
remunerate or incentivise the Directors.
(k)
There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement
Securities. The Director Placement Securities will not be issued pursuant to an
agreement.
(l)
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
Section 195 of the Corporations Act
Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a
material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from
being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If
there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation
of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting
and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
The Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3(a) - (b) (inclusive) and
have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the
Director Placement Securities to Shareholders to resolve.
5.5
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a
related party, the Company must:
(a)
obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 proposed issue of the Director Placement Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit
to related parties of the Company.
Page 13
The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations
Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Securities because the
Securities will be issued on the same terms as those Securities issued to non-related party
participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length
terms.
5.6
Additional information
Resolution 3(a) - (b) are separate ordinary resolutions.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in respect of Resolution 3(a) - (b) as a result
of two Directors’ personal interest in the Resolutions.
6.
Resolution 4 – Ratification of issue of Lead Manager Shares
6.1
Background
The background to the Placement is in Section 3.1 above.
Sixty Two Capital acted as lead manager to the Placement (Lead Manager), and, as
consideration for the provision of lead manager services, the Company agreed to pay the
Lead Manager a capital raising fee of 6% of the amount raised under the Placement (Capital
Raising Fee) and 2,000,000 unquoted Options exercisable at $0.10 each and expiring 7 May
