Letter from the Chair
21 May 2024
Dear Investor,
This Prospectus relates to a private placement to Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund, LLC (Investor or Mercer),
as announced by the Company today, of up to 242,000 convertible notes in the Company (Convertible Notes) to
raise up to approximately $220,000 (Placement), and the grant of 2,048,122 Options with an exercise price of
$0.11284 each. The Company is drawing down on the Mercer facility, which was first announced on 7 March 2023.
Please refer to the Company's announcement today, for further information in relation to the drawdown of the
Mercer Convertible Securities.
The Company has undertaken the Placement for the purposes of funding the Company’s short-term working capital
requirements. Given the previous suspension of the Company’s Shares in the preceding 12 months, this Prospectus
has been prepared primarily for the purpose of section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to remove any trading
restrictions on the sale of any Shares upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes issued under the Placement and
in relation to the granting of the Options.
The Offer is only available to the Investor who is participating in the Placement announced by the Company today
and who has been personally invited to accept the Offer. An Application Form will be provided to the Investor only.
I encourage you to read this Prospectus and the information referred to in it in its entirety before making an
investment decision.
Yours faithfully
Robert Proulx
