| * | As permitted by Rule 428 under

specified in Part I of this Registration Statement will be sent or given to each participant in the Plan, as applicable, in accordance
with Rule 428(b)(1). Such documents are not required to be and are not being filed with the Commission, either as part of this Registration
Statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. These documents and the documents
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of this Registration Statement, taken together,
constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act. |
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The Company hereby incorporates
by reference in this Registration Statement the following:
| ● | the Company’s Annual Report
on Form
20-F filed on October 6, 2025 (File No. 001-41973) and Form
20-F/A filed on October 15, 2025 (File No. 001-41973); and |
| ● | the description of the Company’s
Ordinary Shares, as contained under the heading “Description of Securities of Pubco” in the Company’s registration
statement on Form
F-4, initially filed with the Commission on December 23, 2022, as amended (File No. 333-268970),
and any other amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description. |
All documents subsequently
filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to
be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein or in a document, all or a portion of which
is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration
Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no information is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement where such information under applicable forms and regulations
of the Commission is not deemed to be “filed” under Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities
of that section, unless the report or filing containing such information indicates that the information therein is to be considered “filed”
under the Exchange Act or is to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company’s memorandum
and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act (As Revised), and the common law of the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”)
allow the Company to indemnify the Company’s officers and directors from certain liabilities. The Company’s memorandum and
articles of association provide that the Company may indemnify every director and officer of the Company, together with every former director
and former officer of the Company (each an “Indemnified Person”) out of the assets of the Company to the fullest extent permissible
under the BVI Business Companies Act (As Revised) and the laws of the BVI against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs,
damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act
in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or willful
default.
Under the Company’s
memorandum and articles of association, no Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company
as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud
or willful default of such Indemnified Person and no person shall be found to have committed actual fraud or willful default for these
purposes unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect. In addition, the Company has entered
into indemnification agreements with each director of the Company.
The Company may purchase and
maintain insurance for the benefit of any director of the Company or officer of the Company against any liability which, by virtue of
any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which
such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
| (a) | The undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes: |
| (1) | to file, during any period in
which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
| (i) | to include any prospectus required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| (ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fees Tables”
in the effective registration statement; and |
| (iii) | to include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information
in this Registration Statement; |
provided, however,
that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;
| (2) | that, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof; and |
| (3) | to remove from registration by
means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (b) | The undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (c) | Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized,
in City of Perth, Country of Australia, on the 31st day of October, 2025.
