Phoslock Environmental Technologies reiterates the proxy voting process detailed in the Notice of Extraordinary Meeting lodged with ASX on 15 December 2023 and the voting intentions of undirected proxies received by the Chairman of the Company, David Krasnostein. The Chairman of the Board intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolutions 1 and 2 and AGAINST Resolutions 3 to 10.

The company's extraordinary general meeting will be held on Thursday, 18 January 2024 at 10:30am (Melbourne time) at Chapel Suite, The Como Melbourne, 630 Chapel Street, South Yarra VIC 3141 and online https://meetnow.global/M474VTH.

The Company will hold an EGM of shareholders on 18 January 2024 to consider resolutions unanimously recommended by the Board relating to the proposed business sale by the company and the company's subsequent delisting from the ASX, in anticipation of a winding up of the Company. Alternative resolutions proposed by beneficial owners of at least 5% of issued shares in the company will be put to the meeting. Those resolutions propose a continuation of the business under a newly elected Board. The Company has entered into a sale agreement with US-based SePRO Corporation to sell all of the Phoslock Group's remaining Phoslock inventory and certain intangible assets, including registered and unregistered intellectual property. The proposed sale, which is expected to result in total consideration of approximately $3.2 million, is seen by Directors as the optimum opportunity to realise value from the Company's remaining inventory and intellectual property. The Company has completed the sale of product to its Brazil-based South American distributor, HydroScience. The sale "“ at a value of approximately $950,000 "“ will enable HydroScience to complete several remediation projects to which it is already committed. An outstanding receivable relating to a sale to China Power Construction has now been fully recovered, with RMB payments equating to ~$210,000 having been paid to PET's Beijing based subsidiary, Beijing Ecosystime Environmental Science and Technology Co., Ltd. ECHA has notified the Company that its REACH registration relevant for future importation of Phoslock into the EU is under compliance review which is likely to require that the Company, along with other registrants, submit certain data and technical information about the safety of the chemical substance lanthanum chloride, a key ingredient of Phoslock.

Directors have resolved to proceed with a proposed asset sale and to seek a de-listing from the ASX and a winding-up of the Company. The resolution follows a comprehensive but ultimately unsuccessful process to identify options to secure the necessary capital to continue the operations of the Company. Consistent with these decisions, the Company will take steps to reduce costs and wind down operations. Interest from third parties has been negatively impacted by ongoing regulatory and potential legal actions relating to PET's legacy issues and past management. PET is currently negotiating with a third party regarding a potential divestment of PET's key assets in exchange for cash. While these negotiations are incomplete and there can be no guarantee that a transaction will be consummated, should the parties agree on terms, completion will be contingent on shareholder approval and other conditions precedent. The winding-up process will include consultation with the relevant regulatory authorities and other stakeholders. The proposed de-listing, and business wind down will help to reduce administration costs pending the winding-up of the Company. Regarding the XingYun Lake Project debt recovery matter in China, following negotiation with the customer, a settlement agreement was entered into between the parties. Under the Settlement Agreement the customer paid BEST the amount of RMB 21,686,737.50 (equating to approximately $A 4,650,000) on 27 October 2023.

The company lodges its 1st Half 2023 Results Commentary & Trading Status Update.

The company lodges its Appendix 4D - 1st Half 2023 Accounts.

The Company expects to release its interim accounts for the six months ending 30 June 2023 no later than 8 September 2023. PET today advised that it has secured a part payment (RMB3 million, equating to approx. A$642,000) in respect of a receivable associated with the Xingyun Lake project in China. The payment was made to PET's Beijing based subsidiary, Beijing Ecosystime Environmental Science and Technology Co., Ltd on 25 August. The Company has recently secured orders for Phoslock applications in Brazil and Finland. The combined value of these contracts is approximately $600,000, with the applications scheduled for September. Whilst it is pleasing to secure these sales, the sales rebuild and associated revenues remain well below expectations and at a level insufficient to support the operations of the business.

A Board Meeting on 10 August 2023 reviewed various cash flow projections and the statement of financial position of the consolidated entity. The Board concluded that without securing additional funding to support the business through the reporting period, it is more likely than not that management will be required to liquidate the assets of the business and discontinue operations. Funding pressure has resulted from a combination of factors previously disclosed by the Company, including the ongoing cost of responding to and managing legacy issues; continued delays in recovering receivables pertaining to past sales in China and a slower than expected build in revenues. Resolute has examined options including potential partnerships and/or the potential sale of part or all of the Company and/or its assets. The options that Resolute has identified are at a very early stage, and there is no assurance that any of those options could be transacted within an appropriate timeframe, or that those options would be acceptable to the Company, or its shareholders. Ongoing regulatory and Australian Federal Police investigations into matters relating to the previous mismanagement of the business have adversely impacted these discussions with third parties. There have not been any material developments in relation to these regulatory matters and investigations. The Board is considering all viable options identified by Resolute including possible options for securing the necessary capital and funding support to continue operating the business. The Company's securities will remain suspended until such time as ASX is satisfied with its compliance with Listing Rule 12.2.

The company has entered into an agreement with US based Water Warriors Inc. to distribute a patented product that has been proven to be effective in the removal of phosphorus from freshwater sources including stormwater, agricultural runoff and municipal waste water.

Ltd. The settlement reached today settles all arbitration and court cases for claims and counterclaims initiated by PET or BHZQ against one another. These proceedings will be withdrawn in the coming days following today's settlement. As at 30 June 2021, the full amount of account receivables from BHZQ continued to be impaired in PET's Financial Statements.

The settled amount of A$1.8 million will be accounted for in December 2021 consistent with accounting standards.

PET's quarterly cash flow report shows $3.7m in outflows from operating activities during the period. Q1 also had continued outflows associated with the Board investigation and audit fees to complete the year, albeit lower than the December 2020 quarter. The Company closed the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $26.7 million. Sales of approximately $700,000 were made in the period with the majority relating to ongoing projects in Brazil, along with Europe, China and smaller retail sales in ANZ. The City of Rotterdam (Netherlands) issued an approval for a treatment scheduled to commence later in the year and contracts were also signed in relation to upcoming treatments in Denmark and Brazil. The Company appointed a new US based commercial manager, Harry Knight and a US subsidiary was established. The Company received the Phase 1 payment relating to works completed at Xingyun Lake in China. Given circumstances and uncertainties at the time, the receivable relating to the full payment for this work was impaired in the first half of the 2020 financial year. Although this recent part-payment is a positive outcome, it is for initial work, not the bulk of the project application. The focus of the Board and Management remains on the reset of the China business, which is progressing well, and the development of new opportunities in other markets around the world. Trial work continues in a number of regions and discussions are ongoing in relation to new projects that are expected to be secured and to commence within the current financial year.
