1. The Company has lodged a prospectus today in Australia (November 9, 2022) to raise AUD $4.2m (the “Offering”) to support an application to list on the ASX. The Offering is scheduled to formally open on November 16, 2023 and is expected to close on November 21, 2022. The Offering will comprise the issuance of 7,000,000 Australian CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDI”) at a price per CDI of A$0.60, with each CDI eligible for conversion to common shares on a 10:1 basis, resulting in an issue price per underlying common share of A$6.00. The Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners have received firm commitments from eligible investors for the full amount of the Offering and have advised the Company that they believe the ASX spread requirements will be satisfied. As a result, the Offering will not be open to the general public. The company expects to provide a further update on the ASX listing progress in late November
   
   
2. Due to conflicts with the ASX listing, the Board of Directors have elected to defer the AGM scheduled for November 21, 2022 to February 14, 2023. New mail outs will be sent for the AGM.
