EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement is included in and forms part of the Notice of Meeting. It contains an explanation of, and information about, the Resolutions to be
considered at the Meeting. It is given to Shareholders to help them determine how to vote on the Resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting.
Shareholders should read this Explanatory Statement in full and, if in doubt about what to do in relation to a Resolution, Shareholders should consult their
stockbroker, solicitor or financial or other professional advisor.
Background to Resolution 1 - Ratification of prior issue of ATM Shares
Between 28 October 2022 and 11 January 2023, the Company issued 12,316,180 Shares under its At-The-Market (ATM) financing facility (ATM Shares), announced by the Company on 23 April 2022.
Under the ATM facility, the Company may offer and sell via Oppenheimer up to US$35 million of ATM Shares, in the form of American Depository Shares
(ADSs), with each ADS representing 10 ATM Shares. Sales of ADSs under the ATM may be made from time to time, with the timing and amount of any sales to be determined by Kazia at its sole discretion, based on a variety of factors.
ATM Shares under the ATM facility are issued at market price and attract low levels of banking fees, providing an attractive form of financing for the Company
with minimal dilution to existing shareholders.
The following table shows details of the ATM Share issues to date:
Date of issue No of shares Issue price ($USD) Issue price ($AUD equivalent) Amount raised ($AUD) Issued under LR 7.1 Issued under LR 7.1A
28-Oct-22 12,296,180 0.120 0.187 2,293,288 12,296,180
11-Jan-23 20,000 0.095 0.138 2,760 20,000
Totals 12,316,180 2,296,048 12,316,180
The issue of ATM Shares did not fall within any of the specified exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and as it has not yet
been approved by Shareholders, it effectively reduced the Company s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12-month period following the
issue date of the ATM Shares.
Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks approval from Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) to ratify
the issue of the ATM Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Background to Resolutions 2 and 3 - Ratification of prior issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
As announced to the ASX on 16 January 2023, the Company undertook a placement of Shares to qualified sophisticated and professional investors at
A$0.11 per Share (Placement Shares) to raise A$4 million (before costs) (Placement). The issue price represented a discount of 19% to the closing price of the Company s Shares on 11 January 2023 (being the last closing
price prior to the announcement of the Placement).
The Placement involves:
The issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not fall within any of the specified exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and as it has not yet been approved by
Shareholders, it reduced 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 date of the
Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Accordingly, Resolutions 2 and 3 seek approval from Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) to
ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares. 22,597,918 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under the Company s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 2,789,100 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under the
Company s existing 10% additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, which was approved by Shareholders at the Company s 2022 annual general meeting.
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Under Listing Rule 7.1, the
Company is not permitted to issue, or agree to issue, more equity securities during any 12-month period than the amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the
commencement of that 12-month period unless the issue is approved by Shareholders or an exemption under Listing Rule 7.2 applies.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible entities may seek shareholder approval to increase the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 by an additional 10% for a period of
12 months from approval being granted. The Company received Shareholder approval for the issue of securities under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2022 annual general meeting, which was held on 16 November 2022.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where
Shareholders ratify a prior issue of equity securities made under Listing Rule 7.1, the issue is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, thereby replenishing the Company s 15% placement capacity and
enabling it to issue further securities up to that limit.
