EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to assist Shareholders in deciding how to vote on the
Resolutions.
BACKGROUND – PLACEMENT
On 6 November 2024, the Company announced to ASX a capital raising by way of an issue of Shares
at an issue price of $0.02 per Share under a placement to institutional, sophisticated and professional
investors (Placement).
On 13 November 2024, the Company issued 53,598,485 Shares under the Placement pursuant to the
Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity (Placement Shares). A further 6,250,000 Shares were subscribed
for by Directors of the Company, and the issue of those Shares is subject to Shareholder approval.
Details of the Shares issued and proposed to be issued pursuant to the Placement are set out below.

Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and Listing Rule 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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 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 the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 by an
extra 10%, to 25%. An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index
and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is currently an eligible entity
for these purposes.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities
after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under
Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities
without shareholder approval under that rule.
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 (among others) a related party or an
associate (as defined in the Listing Rules) of a related party unless it obtains the approval of its
shareholders. A “related party” includes a director.

RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF THE ISSUE OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE PLACEMENT
Please refer to the information under the heading “Background – Placement” above for the background
to this Resolution and for information about Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A, and 7.4.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as
it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, the issue of the Placement Shares has used up part of
the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity
Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the
date of issue of the Placement Shares.
Under Resolution 1, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the
Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain as much flexibility as
possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval
for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the
Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 (and its combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and
7.1A), increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without further Shareholder
approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (and its combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) over the
12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the
Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 (and its combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and
7.1A), and (as some of the capacity to issue further securities will have been used) will continue to
restrict the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under
Listing Rule 7.1 (and its combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) over the 12 month period
following the issue of the Placement Shares.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to
this Resolution:
(a)
The Shares were issued to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom
were material investors whose identities are required to be disclosed under ASX Guidance Note
21. Some of the investors were existing Shareholders of the Company and the others were
introduced to the Company by Bridge Street Capital Partners (the Lead Manager and
Bookrunner to the Placement).
(b)
53,598,485 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company were issued.
(c)
The Placement Shares were issued on 13 November 2024.
(d)
The Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.02 per Share.
(e)
The purpose of the Placement was to raise funds to support the Company’s priority business
development activities in Europe related to both hydrogen and CO2, and preparation activities
for the future restart of the Company’s prototype tank program.
(f)
There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of the Placement Shares.
(g)
A voting exclusion statement in respect of this Resolution is set out in the Notice.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

RESOLUTIONS 2 TO 5 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTORS (OR THEIR NOMINEES) PURSUANT
TO THE PLACEMENT
Please refer to the information under the heading “Background – Placement” above for the background
to these Resolutions and for information about Listing Rule 10.11.
The following Directors (or their nominees) have subscribed for Shares under the Placement (together
the Director Placement Issues) in the amounts set out below. The Director Placement Issues are
subject to Shareholder approval at the Meeting pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.
Shares subscribed for

Director
**. 750,000 Shares are proposed to be issued to each of Full Circle and Marjack, both being controlled entities of Mr
Martin Carolan (and therefore associates as defined in the Listing Rules of Mr Martin Carolan).
The issue of Shares to Mr Gregory Martin, Mr Andrew Pickering and Mr David Palmer fall within Listing
Rule 10.11.1 and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. They therefore require
the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
The issue of Shares to Full Circle and Marjack fall within Listing Rule 10.11.4, on the basis that both
entities are associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) of Mr Martin Carolan (who falls within Listing
Rule 10.11.1 as a Director of the Company), and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule
10.12. They therefore also require the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule
10.11.
Resolutions 2 to 5 seek the required Shareholder approval to the Director Placement Issues under and
for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If those Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Director Placement Issues
which will allow the Company to raise subscription funds pursuant to those issues.
If those Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Director
Placement Issues and the Company will not be able to raise subscription funds pursuant to those issues.
The Board has considered the Director Placement Issues and considers that the financial benefits
provided to Directors are on arm’s length terms given that the proposed issue of Shares is on the same
terms as all other subscribers that participated in the Placement (other than that Shareholder approval
is required for the Director Placement Issues). Accordingly, approval under Chapter 2E of the
Corporations Act is not being sought.
9
Listing Rule 10.13 requires the following information to be provided in relation to the Director Placement
Issues:
(a)
The persons to acquire Equity Securities under the Director Placement Issues are Mr Gregory
Martin (Non-Executive Chairman) or his nominee, Mr Andrew Pickering (Non-Executive
Director) or his nominee, Mr David Palmer (Non-Executive Director) or his nominee, and Full
Circle Strategy Pty Ltd, and Marjack Holdings Pty Ltd (each a controlled entity and associate
(as defined in the Listing Rules) of Mr Martin Carolan (Managing Director and CEO)).
(b)
Mr Gregory Martin, Mr Andrew Pickering and Mr David Palmer fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1,
being Directors of the Company. Their nominees (if applicable) would fall within Listing Rule
10.11.4, being associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the abovementioned Directors.
Full Circle and Marjack fall within Listing Rule 10.11.4, being associates (as defined in the
Listing Rules) of Mr Martin Carolan (a Director of the Company who would fall within Listing
Rule 10.11.1).
(c)
The number of Equity Securities that may be acquired by Mr Martin (or his nominee), Mr
Pickering (or his nominee), Mr Palmer (or his nominee), Full Circle, and Marjack under the
Director Placement Issues pursuant to each Resolution is:
(i)
in the case of Mr Gregory Martin, 2,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of
the Company;
(ii)
in the case of Full Circle, 750,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company;
(iii)
in the case of Marjack, 750,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company;
(iv)
in the case of Mr Pickering, 1,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company; and
(v)
in the case of Mr Palmer, 1,250,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company.
(d)
Subject to receipt of Shareholder approval, the Shares will be issued in full no later than 1 month
after the date of the Meeting (unless an ASX waiver is obtained).
(e)
The Shares will be issued at $0.02 per Share. Funds raised will be used to support the
Company’s priority business development activities in Europe related to both hydrogen and
CO2, and preparation activities for the future restart of the Company’s prototype tank program.
(f)
The Director Placement Issues are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr Martin, Mr
Carolan, Mr Pickering, or Mr Palmer. The Director Placement Issues are on the same terms as
the issue of the other securities under the Placement, except that they are subject to approval
under Listing Rule 10.11 at the Meeting.
(g)
There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of the Director Placement Issues.
(h)
A voting exclusion statement in respect of each of Resolutions 2, 3, 4, and 5 are set out in the
Notice.
If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
